Only Women Bleed
Tina pulled open the heavy front door to the main building and turned toward the office.
“Tina, here,” called Bette from outside the nurse’s office.
“Where is she, is she okay?” Tina called out while the click-click of her high heels echoed in the empty hall.
“She’s fine, come on in here, we can talk,” said Bette.
Relief washed over Tina’s face as the two women entered Ms. Santiago’s room. “Where is she,” Tina repeated.
“She’s in the bathroom,” Bette nodded her head towards the closed door. “She won’t come out,” she continued in a hushed voice.
“What is it?”
“She got her first period,” Bette whispered, “and she wore her white capris today.”
“Oh my poor baby!” Tina’s hand flew up to her mouth in an expression somewhere between sincere distress and mild amusement.
“Ms. Santiago went to the gym to see if she can find Angie’s PE clothes so she can change.”
“Sweetie, it’s mom, can I come in?” Tina said loudly to the door.
“No!”
“It’s okay Angie, we’ve both been there before,” chimed in Bette.
“Not helpful,” called out the mortified 12 year old, slowly annunciating each syllable.
Ms. Santiago, an athletic, toned woman in her early 30’s came in carrying Angelica’s softball pants, “this is the best I can do!”
“Here honey, open the door,” encouraged Tina, “here’s something to put on.”
The door opened a crack for less than half a second and slammed shut again. The moms stifled giggles as they heard an exasperated “Oh great, just perfect” from inside the bathroom.
“We’ll give you a few minutes, honey. Can you meet us in the driveway when you’re done?” asked Tina.
“I’m not in much of a position to argue at the moment,” exclaimed the sullen pre-teen. “I’ll meet you in a few.”
Tina signed out Angelica at the front office, and joined Bette in the front drive.
“Did you have any idea?” asked Tina.
“No, she’s been cranky and crampy, but she’s 12,” Bette replied, “she’s pretty much always that way.”
“Did you get any details?” inquired Tina.
“Just that she was in math class when a classmate pointed out the problem,” Bette answered.
“The poor thing!” Tina exclaimed.
“Shh, here she comes,” warned Bette.
“Please could we just leave, now?” demanded Angelica.
“Sure, sweetie, whose car do you want to ride in?” asked Tina.
Angelica burst into tears unexpectedly. Bette and Tina looked at each other quizzically and reached for the girl at the same time.
“You know,” sobbed Angelica, beautiful despite the tears streaming down her face and the incongruent outfit she was sporting, “I really can’t choose between the two of you right now.” Her words came out in gasps and hiccups. “Please, could we please just all go together?”
“Of course, honey,” soothed Bette. “Let’s all go and get in my car. I’ll bring mom back later to pick up her car.”
“Thanks mama,” said Angelica quietly, while shrugging off her parents’ arms–the weight of the world on her small frame.
Bette drove towards her condo while Tina cuddled Angelica in the back seat, one hand pulling her still-weeping daughter’s body into hers while the other hand lovingly stroked her hair until Angelica fell asleep. A babe in her mother’s arms.

Quite excellent. A different approach that is unique and interesting. PPS.
So great to see you posting again and quite the crazy coincidence because I just finished re-reading your “My skin is …” story the other day. I thought there was more to that story and thought about pm’ing you but figured it had been so long since you posted that it was pointless. Guess I was wrong!! LOL. Anyway, I like the new premise, kids can say the darndest things, huh? And we’ve all been there when mother nature strikes for the first time. Please post again soon, I’m in desperate need for some fanfiction entertainment!!
great start. I’m interested in whether Bette or Tina have partners. please post soon.
When I saw the title I thought it might be about THAT kind of bleeding. lol Now that I’m back to being 27 and not mentally 7, I must say this sounds interesting so far. The way Angelica said she didn’t want to choose between her mothers was sad. I guess she’s had to do a lot of choosing over the years.
please post soon, this is going to be a great story
hopefully angelica will bring her moms back together…nice to see you back again
Great start to what promises to be a great read! PPS! I need more!!
I’m a sucker for anything that quotes a song lyric, yup, even Alice Cooper. Look forward to more – is it already written or is this an ‘as we go along’ kind of story?
poor little thing, mortified
God I just flashed back to middle school. Don’t we all still worry about that! Please write more.
Damn this is good and please continue soon, thanks!
well…that was a very great start and i can’t wait to see what happens next. you did really great with the writing..pps
Looking forward to more.
Loving it so far, PPS :)

It was so good to see that you posted a story! Your’s was one of the first that I read on this site – got me hooked for sure. I’m looking forward to following this one. Thanks. Lin
Great start…keep it up you’ve got me very interested! Poor thing…Ugh don’t we all remember that dreaded day when we got our first period? It reminds me of that book, “Are You There God, It’s Me Margret” that I read around that time. Anyway, wonderful start..keep it up!
Welcome back. So good to see ur posting. PPS
The was fantastic to read!! Really well written…left me totally wanting more! Thanks!
this looks really good!
Yay! Welcome back. As a longtime SR I have to say show the “newbies” how it’s done ;-)
well dear me what thoughtless parents that they didn’t prepare her for the inevitable…geez my mom was telling me at age 7 about sex, periods etc. Just as well because I started periods at an early age…and yeah Angie’s right why should she have to choose between them/ and why didn’t the school inform them properly so one of them could bring some decent spare clothes…if I was Angie I’d be too mortified to go back to that ‘elite’ school…poor kid.
I like this start…Bette and Tina togethr in the car with Angie…PPS
First off I love Angelica, Bette and Tina stories
Second poor angelica she must be so embarrassed
but let me say this Angie dont feel bad because im 27 and I still have horrible cramps and hate every mintue of my cycle from the time I got it at 11 TMI I know but im just saying I feel your pain…And Bette and Tina separated for over 10 years nooooooooo
