Just The Girl – Chapter Fifty Four (a HYD-inspired fic)
“I mean,” Bette waved a hand. Shit, that came out all wrong. “There were a few times in the past weeks that I have grown to hate you. When I think about it, its not that surprising cause you always had the ability to evoke strong emotions within me – may it be love or its polar opposite. And it was such an eye-opener, cause as much as I loved you, I discovered that I could also hate you with a passion.” She continued solemnly.
Tina dropped her gaze to her lap, unsure of where to look.
“You were weak. You were willing to let me go. Faced with a tough decision, you chose the easy way out. And I hated you for it. I gave up a lot of things for this relationship, and I keep asking myself why you can’t just give me this now?”
Bette reached out and gently coaxed the blonde into facing her and meeting her gaze. She held Tina’s hands in hers. They were cold – which complimented her clammy ones.
“But then.. I love you.” Bette whispered sincerely. “God, how much I love you. And I found out that no matter how much I felt bad about your decision, my feelings for you overshadowed all the hurt I felt. All the hate.”
She swallowed hard and kissed away the tears that had began to pool in Tina’s eyes.
“And I’m so sorry if I’ve been bitter. I was being selfish, I only saw my pain and I disregarded yours. Sammy did say that to love was to make the hardest decision and go with it, no matter how painful it was. And between us, you were the one who made the hard choice and I got mad at you for it. I’m sorry..” She whispered. “You only wanted what was best for the both of us, I get that now.” She finished with a smile, caressing Tina’s face with her hand.
The blonde smiled despite her tears. “Porter, I-” She started, willing herself to say the thing that she was planning to say tomorrow. But before she could continue, Bette silenced her with a kiss – a kiss that ignited a fire from within and stopped all conversation.

What was Tina going to say to Bette on the beach? Will Tina be able to forgive Bette for not saying goodbye? Will Tina catch the next available flight out to Connecticut? I hope so… I can’t wait to see how you wrap everything up, but I’m really going to miss this story. Thanks for the chapter.
Wow that was an amazing chapter! and so many looming questions. PPS
Wow-your story never ceases to amaze me. I love it and your writing, and I hope to see both soon in a sequel to this story! PPS!
This has/is an incredible story. I look for it daily and was so glad to see a post today. Please say it isn’t so, Your not ending it are you? Their still young and have slots to go through. A sequel maybe?.
Its coming to an end, does it have to? I love this chapter for all the right reasons. Please dont keep to long for the next one.Thanks
WOW!!! That was Amazing!!! I just hope that the end will be just as good. Thank you PPS
WOW!!!!! I just got a chance to read all 37 pages of it-it was a long one…but well worth it. I can understand why Bette went ahead & left-but Tina will be hurt…but I think she will understand. I hope they can work through this & I can’t wait for the next update. Great job.
*Sniffle* Oh dear, this has got to be the saddest JTG chapter. *Sniffle* So begging on my knees didn’t work. *Sniffle* I don’t know how they’ll ever get to eternity when it’s hard to say they’ll even get to survive the next 24 hours, weeks or months apart. *Sniffle* I hope Tina will still change her mind but if not…then, *Thank you very much* for this lovely, funny, sometimes sexy high school TiBette tale. It’s been a great ride, Alchemy! *Crysmiles like Bette* Okay… I’m gonna go to a corner now and cry my heart out. Boohoo. :(
This is sad !
That ws beautiful and sad, it brought tears to my eyes.
I laughed and cried ….. It just broke my heart :( But there has to be a happy ending in here some where :)
Great chptr, Al will there be a sequl to this story maybe College life ???
Hey Alchemy! So glad to have you back with another chapter, but extremely sad that the end is coming. I have loved this story from the beginning as your writing is incredible. I have the feeling Tina had decided to go with Bette, but will maybe stick to their plan now that Bette has left. Bette’s letter had me teary-eyed which is one of the best things about your writing… one minute I’m laughing out loud, the next I’m choked up. Thanks for the post.
Sniff sniff. This was hard, I laughed and cried very hard. How come? Tina go get you future wife please?
