CHAPTER TWENTY THREE: Stand By Me
Previously..
I did a lot of thinking last night, and after hours of reflection, I realized something.
“You’re not the victim here.” I whisper to the wind, my eyes fixated on the marble niche that housed Eric’s mortal body. Or bones. Or worms. Whatever.
No, Eric Walker was not the victim.
It was Jill.
It was her. It was her all along.
His wife, his bestfriend, his widow.
Jill.. who was abandoned by her husband.. who was lied to by her father.. who was betrayed by the woman she treated like a sister.
She was the unfortunate victim of cruel circumstances – of the acts of selfish people.
And now I wonder.. how am I different from them? I am made from the same deceitful cloth. Like Eric.. like William.. like Cherie and Vince, I would be dealing a crushing blow to an already fragile heart. After her husband died, Jill had a hard time really letting people in – she was friendly and cordial to everyone, but only few were able to see the real her. I was one of those special people that she felt comfortable enough with to let her guard down. She’d tell me her secrets, talk to me about Eric, share her dreams, her art, her laughter. I know she was at ease with me – no matter how much of an asshole I am sometimes. Tina might be right; Jill may have feelings for me – but I don’t let thoughts of this get in the way of our friendship. I wasn’t scared about her making moves on me or taking advantage of our close yet very much platonic relationship – she wasn’t like that hobbit Kate, she wasn’t an opportunistic leech. Besides, she seemed to be dead set on trudging the hetero path these days.
Jill trusts me wholeheartedly. She cherishes our friendship. Along with Marcus Allenwood, she considers me as one of her bestfriends. I have Jill’s delicate heart in my hands – and with my impending betrayal, I’m going to crush it like those other people have.
So you see, I am no better than them.

you made it so very worth the wait!and you gave a lovely blend of humor and drama surrounding Bette’s dilemma…no surprise that there is alot of gold inside that heart, but thank you for taking us on the journeyto Bette’s maturing!! And special thoughts for “…” still my favorites!!
Yes it’s been a long time coming. But thanks for the chapter. I loved how Bette was finally about to work through her feeling and open up to Tina. She has grown. And I am glad that Tina chose to support her and not be selfish. That has to be a hard place to be when you sense someone is wanting your partner. Tina will has to gain own sense of self confidence to have peace about the situation.
With the beautiful story, it is wroth the wait:) so glad Bette decided to stay by Jill & Tina supported her decision, pls post soon cos I can’t wait for the Snow, friends, love and saving.
I’ve missed this story… Great chapter as usual.. I’m glad Tina’s gonna be supportive of Bette’s decision. Thank you so much for posting!
like i said before missed your story thank you for the update.you have to love tina.whenyou love someone with your whole heart you will do anything for them.tina has the biggest heart of them all.like thy say love will concer all.pps
Tks for the update, I can’t say that I’m not worried about how Jill will effect their relationship. You are right though, Bette has matured and grown as a human being and she couldn’t do that to Jill. I only hope that she is also wise enough to eventually see that Jill is in love with her and they will eventually end their “friendship” it’s hard to stay friends when the one you love knows how you feel and they don’t feel the same. Can’t wait for another update!!!!
Bette is more preoccupied with Jill’s feelings not of what It Jingles, and that hurts very much for Vat, I sinceramento wait that that is not going to give any more problems predict.So I am thinking what Jill’s father only is going to Carry out the contract in exchange for something more. Is it and Now It and Now It Has????? I hate drama please a little of novel, Bette is very distant of Vat.
Worth the wait! Tina is one hell of a woman. PPS
Yeah, that’s true love alright! and YIPEEE, you’re finally back Alchemy.
Bette and Tina are growing up. Tina may not like it, but in the long run Bette and Tina will be stronger because of this decision.
Im soo happy you posted, bette and tina finally reached that peek in there relationship true love
thank you for posting. i am constantly checking for updates from you. i love this story. bette made the right decision, hopefully tina will see past her insecurities and see bette only loves her.
Yay…you’re back! I’m so behind in my fanfic reading, hence the late comment. Our little Bette is growing up for sure. I can’t believe this story is going to end soon. Sequel to the sequel…..maybe…possibly…pretty please?
You’re back! I am so happy to see your chapter. I’m glad Bette did the right thing and I’m so proud of Tina. It was equally hard for the two of them. Thanks for the post!
i have missed this… and i loved it… i know tina wouldn’t just run at the end… because she knows its true love… please don;t end this story… or at least tell us there will be part 3… lol…please…pps
Thank you so much for posting this. Welcome back. I was crying like a baby. Both of our girls did a big step forward and outdid themselves. I can’ t wait for the next one.
oh by the way…didn’t you promise alittle something,something for these poor deprived lovers and, yes us readers too? hmmm
ALCHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I read this earlier but didn’t have time to comment because I was supposed to be somewhere at that time. But I made the fatal mistake of checking in since I had five minutes to kill. I totally screwed myself and was an hour late, oh well no harm done, and they still love me. Thanks so much for posting been a long time, but well worth the wait. I was laughing my ass off from the hair thing and people kept asking me what was so funny because I kept picturing Bette as Amy Winehouse. I hope Tina has a change of heart toward Jill, I actually like the poor girl, and it’s your fault alchy. I just hope Jill can move on from there. Thanks for the post alchy, awesome.
That was amazing and awesome, they are growing up now and in love with each other more!
