“That probably explains why she hasn’t bombarded me with calls this evening….remind me later to thank Dana for keeping her of my back”
“I will….” Tina was pleased at Bette’s choice of words. It was only a hint but it was enough for her to hope that the lines of communication weren’t completely severed. She relaxed her tense shoulders into the pillows she had propped up. “So have you managed to get all unpacked today”
“Most of it” Bette lied the truth was she had unpacked her clothes, one cup, one glass actually 2 glasses the first one got smashed when she threw it across the kitchen, that was as much as she had managed before spending the remainder of the day outside by the pool. That was the where and the when she had finally allowed her emotions to do with her what they will, the sun had set before Bette rose leaving behind her a well of spilt tears, a heart that had been shattered, a hope that was extinguished. She strutted back inside confident in the knowledge that was as painful as it was ever going to be for her, she could and would live with the ache that lingered behind.
“How about you everything back in it’s rightful place”
Tina was aware Bette was simply asking if she had unpacked, nevertheless she couldn’t help think if everything was indeed in it’s rightful place she wouldn’t be still here in her apartment, she would be….Tina shook her head in an attempt to clear her
maudlin thoughts.
“Honestly I haven’t done much today I slept for most of the morning then spent some time with Dana”
“Good….I’m happy you were able to get some sleep and had someone to talk too” Bette said genuinely happy that Tina had a good friend in Dana. If Tina felt a fraction of her own desolation she was going to be leaning heavily on that friendship. Bette had felt a little envious that Tina found it easier to talk to Dana than with her.
“It’s you” Tina said softly.
“What’s me”
“That I want to talk too….that I want to listen too……I was talking to Dana and it hit me that we didn’t talk I mean really talk and maybe if we had…..maybe….god Bette…I don’t know…..maybe if…..I had listened to you and we took it slow…maybe if I…. ” Tina’s voice was breaking as she struggled to hold back her tears. “Bette I can’t do this….it’s too hard….it’s hurts too much….if being with you means I’ll never have children…fine…I’ll live with that….I can’t live without you”
Bette’s earlier theory that it was impossible to break a broken heart had just been utterly disproved. The shattered organ that she left by the pool side only a few hours ago had cruelly slipped back into her chest, the tiny fragments now causing a physical pain so tangible that Bette took a sharp intake of breath.
“Tina stop…..have you any idea how badly I want that to be true……have you any idea how close I have been to telling you that I want a child, fuck I’d have 10 if it will make you happy” And she had there had been a moment when it almost became too much for her to bear, however the thought of hurting a child was something she couldn’t risk doing….not again.

As for this story the last line was magic. Perfect way to draw your reader in love love love all of the emotions. You capture something that is so real. PPS
i wonder what “not again” means…

WOW!!! So sad and heart breaking!!! What is this about Bette “hurting a child…not again”? Bette please open up to Tina and tell her your story. Thank you PPVS
Great update! Once again I felt my heart breaking with the raw emotions. I could feel their pain and heartbreak with being apart. Beautifully written! I’ll try not to go back into hiding :)
Skimmer – all that I have said in my comments have been nothing but the truth :) You are an excellent writer and this story is just so brilliant – sad and heartbreaking – but briliant. Thank you for this :)
Ah ha! It seems that Bette has not opened up to Tina completely…a skeleton remains in her closet…a child…who has been hurt…hmmmmmm! An interesting set up Skimmy…your imagination abounds! Alrighty (rubbing hands together with glee), I’m ready…bring it on!
Why are you trying to make me cry, damn it? I’ve been without internet and I hope that the bold font on “Next Post by this Author” means I have a picture to laugh about. Otherwise… I don’t know. I’ll buy the monkeys off jp, or something. Great chapter, skimmy. But I hate you for trying to make me cry :P
Keep them talking !
wow, you got got us good with that, “not again”…..awesome, now please provide an answer to the question soon!!!!
This is so sad…they’re both in so much pain from being apart. What is Bette thinking about “hurting a child”? I can’t imagine that she would ever do anything intentional or that it is as bad as she is interpreting it to be.Maybe if she can express what she’s thinking to Tina they can work through this…
I wasn’t able to skip this chapter. You’re a too good author and I’m too curious reader. :o)
Wait a minute, what’s all this with the “not again” then? They love each other enough to give each other what they want, but Bette’s gotta open up. I think I might set the evil monkeys to go fetch the wee mercenaries with the supersoakers if you post soon with answers, skimmer. We got a deal? Thanks for writing this. cheers
more, more, more! please? Where were my manners? :P
Skimmy its fun when you bounce things off of me while writing, well for Bette she needs to open up and im sure that will be comming knowing how much you love a happy ending. I HOPE
“not again”?….does that mean that Bette had a child?hopefully she’ll open up to Tina
Yes we are all wondering about the “again” part.
