    Author Notes:

    “I’m limited, just look at me. I’m limited.”

    Bette paced up and down the hall of the sterile hospital. How had she come to this? One second she had Tina wrapped in her arms in the middle of some cabin in Jersey and the next she’s here. She had taken a red eye flight from Newark International Airport and got into Miami just a few hours later. She had been there for 3 hours and still no one had come to speak with her regarding Sara’s condition. They wouldn’t even allow her in to see Sara.

    Ken: Bette?

    Bette spun around coming face to face with the young man.

    Bette: Yes, Ken?

    Ken: Hi. I’m sorry you had to fly all the way out here, I just wasn’t sure who else to call.

    Bette: No, it’s fine. Do you know what’s wrong with her?

    Ken: Well, Bette I would think it’s obvious…

    Bette: I’m not following.

    Ken gave Bette a suspicious look.

    Bette: She didn’t do something stupid over our break up did she?

    Ken: You broke up?

    Bette: Yeah.

    Ken: I only called you because I thought you were still together.

    Bette: No we broke up a few days ago.

    Ken: I’m sorry, I didn’t know.

    Bette: What did you mean by the “obvious”?

    Ken: Bette, you don’t know?

    Bette had enough.

    Bette: Know what? What is going on?

    Ken dropped into a seat behind him.

    Ken: Bette sit.

    Bette: I don’t want to sit. I want to know what’s going on!

    Ken: God, I don’t know how to tell you this.

    He took a deep breath.

    Ken: She was diagnosed 4 months ago with cancer.

    Bette gave in and sat down.

    Bette: What?

    Ken: Stomach cancer.

    Bette: I don’t understand. She can’t, I mean, she would have told me.

    Ken reached his arm around Bette.

    Bette: Why didn’t she tell me?

    Bette was at her wit’s end and holding back tears was no longer an option. She let them flow freely down her pale face.

    Ken: I can’t answer that. I don’t know.

    Bette: Well, there’s treatments right? Chemo or surgery.

    Ken: She was trying the pill form of chemo but it didn’t work. Surgery wasn’t an option this late in the game.

    1. Tina needs to be with Tina. Sara will just need Bette for a little while. Tina will need Bette for a long time. Dont let Bettes guilt keep her from Tina

    2. Flair,I have read all of your stories but never commented until now. This chapter threw me for a loop. Damn,I never saw it coming. Sara dying and what will Bette do now. Will she allow Tina to help her or will this drive them apart. Post soon.

    3. Wow, never saw this coming!!! Thank goodness you didn’t use this to drag out more drama with B/T, although if your not then that means that you’ve got something else cooking…Poor Sara, I was liking her…Who is Ken?? Did I miss that? Great work Flair…great way to wake up on a Sunday…Now off to a kids gymnastics b-day party…quite the change!!
      Thanks

    6. Okay, sadness. Poor Bette and poor Tina. Amazing and strong Sara (hey look! No ‘h’!). What happened to my dramedy? It’s taken a turn for the sad, but a good sad. Sigh. Post soon, aka, now. Just kidding…not really.

    7. “Here we go! Grab your tissues, popcorn, and maybe some ice cream!”
      Grrrr… yes, of course I’m ready (… have I choice, anyway ??), especially for the tissues ! Well, I’ll send you an invoice at the end of your rollercoaster-saga (… if there’s ever an end, anyway ! Late, later, latent, isn’t it ? – lol -) for all the tissues I used and will use, pitiless drama queen ! But for the rest… I prefer by far chocolates. (God, chocolate and Flair’s fresco : two drugs at the same time ! Poor me…)

      My goodness, I’m feeling so truly sad and sorry for Sara… How definitly brave is this girl, having silently sacrifized herself and the last moments of life she would have could spend with Bette to assure the future happiness of her beloved, bringing her in Tina’s arms again… People like her are so incredibly heroic and desinterested, that’s something deeply moving to realize. So rare, so beautiful, so heartbreaking…
      As I already told you more than once, your author’s talents immediately made me like this character a lot – even when I wanted to “fight” this increasing sympathy because of my stubborn B&T-forever-through-any-dramas’ feelings, hopes and big weakness !

      In a story like yours, so full of the more intense emotions possible, Sara’s cancer sounds like Fate’s symbolic decision : like if a life without Bette’s love couldn’t ever be an option. No doubt she would never have been able to feel such unconditional love for anybody else after Bette and so, like in great classic dramas, the lost of a love rhymes with the lost of life…
      After all, Andersen’s original Little Mermaid choiced to became meerschaum on the sea to save her prince’s happiness with an other one, instead of killing him and saving her own life…
      That’s the eternal and powerful artistic symbol of Eros and Thanatos’ secret bound. A great but painful theme, I must say.

      It’s also, for me, the best exit for a deep character like Sara in your numerous acts’ play : this way, she’ll stay in the audience – I mean, readers ! – memory in a much more definitive way than if she would have find a new relationship to begin a new life, out of the main action.
      Why do we always remember tragic characters much more than happy ones, in literature, in movies, etc. ? Because there’s always an irresitible fascination for tragic destinies in the audience’s hearts. Take Camille’s story, for exemple : she had to die to become eternal ! Don’t you think so ?
      … God ! I’m such a silly romantic right now, sorry !!! Put the blame on your current tragedy that just brang the Hugolian part of me out ! My, my…

      “Sara: I’m sorry Bette.”
      That’s an amazing thing to say, when everybody would expect these words coming from Bette’s mouth ! Until the end, this admirable and so engaging woman will think of Bette before anything else… Ready to calmly die, now she can at least keep her eyes on her beloved until the end “trying to memorize every part of her”, as you so beautifully wrote….
      What are you doing to me here, Flair !!
      However…
      … should I really confess once more how much I’m still especially loving this story of yours ?? I don’t think so : you know it so well – and you take advantage of that !

      An other couple of tissues to add to the final invoice ! It will be YOUR punishment, cruel girl ! Wait and see ! (lol)

    13. hopefully everyone will communicate as adults. this was heart wrenching to say the least. but it doesnt change the fact that they love each other and need each other. sara knew even tho she is gonna die that it wond never have worked out. so communication and understanding is a good way to deal with things. bring on the next one soon, please. she does need to call tee.

    14. Damn it flair! You had to write that Sara has cancer…and dying. How can T compete with that? It’s like my favorite movie of all time, Wings of the Dove. You cannot compete with a dead loved one man. Cannot, will not.

      So does this mean another chapter of B&T separation ending like the first one? Please say no. My heart cannot take it. I swear some of the great fanfics here have been so moving and emotional (yours of course, and with the laughs of Alex and Alice)…then out of the nowhere the ending comes with them separated, it just burdens my heart! Please be kind flair…be kind to my heart! :)

    15. I wish I was having a glass of good wine reading this chapter… It’s sad but me either couldn’t imagine Sara falling in love again. Anyway, excellent but very sad. please post soon.

    16. oh btw. im confused, as usual. why would tina think bette is not coming back. what is the purpose of that. shes going to live in florida now cuz sara died. so bette is gonna give up the theater. what??? jeez the drama is piling up again between you and chicki. we are all gonna drown on it.

    20. Ok, I just caught up. Your name suits you perfectly; DRAMA!!! with lots of flair. Girl, you are something else. This story is definately on my hit list. Post soon.

    21. No to be insensitive, but does this mean the thong game is over or just on hold? ….. Sara will be sure that Bette understands the value of love before she goes…and send her running into Tina’s arms. Right? RIGHT FLAIR?

    22. Forgive me for not falling out crying here. Everyone is commenting like Sara did something so noble…yea yea…..would she have walked away from Bette knowing that Tina is her true love if she WASNT dying?

    23. i sign on tonight and there are two chapters…How lucky we are. What a sad chapter this was. I did need my tissue but I have a feeling I am going to need the whole damn box over the next few chapters.

    26. OMG i can’t believe that after nearly 8 months of not having a single tear in my eyes, finally i had ONE.. it’s so sad.. poor Bette, and Sara.. =(

      if i die tonight, id go with no regrets
      if its in your arms i know that
      i was blessed
      and if your eyes are the last
      thing that i see
      then i know the beauty heaven
      holds for me

      Westlife – Moments

    27. i totally agree with playgirl life is too short to waste time fighting and been angry…hope Bette realize that Tina is her life and Tina should be there for her to confort her..i feel sorry for Sara she is an amazing woman and really loved Bette…BUT Tina is the one and always will be hope she not screw up again or i will kill her..lol..ok FLAIR you mean but i love ya..post another like in 2 hours ok?

    28. Wow, I did’t ecpect this. This was a great chapter. Were you born with this Flair or did you develop it over the years? Is Sarah going to call T to have her come comfort Bette? Will T just fly there because she senses Bette needs her? AAAGGHH, this is killing me, post again soon.

    29. wow…i hafta tell u i never saw this coming and WOW WHAT A TWIST!! Flair i can’t even begin to tell you how much i love your writing!! Please post soon!!!!!

    30. Oh my god flair, I actually had tears in my eyes reading this. I really don’t know what to say……….excellent writing as usual, please let Tina make it all better for Bette. She’s going to need a shoulder to cry on!

    31. good to see your post just before i head off for the night. losing someone the first time is hard, losing the second.. still hard.. i don’t think it ever gets easy.

    32. DAMN!!! I’m speechless, and that doesnt happen very often. LOL. I know Bette’s pain all too well. It’s going to be a struggle. I feel for Tina, alot of people dont bounce back from loosing someone you loveso much to death. Its scary to get close to someone again. I cant wait to see just hoe Bette is going to deal with all this.

    33. Wow, i’m the first one – yay! LOL
      Great chapter. Poor Bette, I guess poor Sara too, but Bette is going through it so much at the moment. I hope she can find a way to let Tina back into her life after loosing Sara.
      I like the comedy between Alice and Alex. Still really funny.
      Keep it up, and post more soon. I want to know what’s going to happen!
      (+ i’m impatient LOL)

    37. this is too sad!!! Sara is apparently a good and selfless person, now to have cancer and die, “sobbing” y couldn’t u let her meet someone and fall in-love, that woulda been soo much better, but then no drama right? “sigh” how long b4 another post, hope not long!!!
