Just The Girl 2.0 – Chapter Twenty Three (based loosely on HYD: Returns)
“Check this out..” Jill interrupted, throwing a magazine on the table and standing up from her seat. She went around the table, sat down beside a tense Bette and scooted closer to the brunette. “Marcus’ gallery actually made it to Coulthard’s column, he..”
The young Porter couldn’t help it anymore. With a frustrated breath, she drove a palm unto the table and made the plates clatter, shushing her companion with the abruptness of her actions. “Jill, can you please listen for a sec? I jus-”
“I’m not breaking up with you.” Jill cut her off, blindsiding the brunette and stunning Bette to silence. So she knew all along..? Of course.. with her blatant delay shenanigans and blunt declaration, it would appear so. Though her green eyes shone with unshed tears, Jill still kept a huge, brave smile plastered on her face. “Cause if I lose another person I love, I think I just might die.”
—————
Die..
Bette woke up breathless in the middle of the night, her pajamas sticking to her skin, her tousled hair matted down to her forehead with cold sweat. Her chest was rising up and down as fast as her beating heart, a heart that was thundering inside her chest like wild African drums. Disoriented, her brown eyes, which were wide with fear, flitted wildly around the room, breathing in her surroundings as if seeing it for the first time. Where was she? She wondered, probably a curious effect of her half-asleep psyche still grappling with the fog of unconsciousness. The thick curtains prevented the moon’s radiant light from flooding the place; still, small fractions of it seeped through the paper thin spaces at the edge of the fabric – casting shadows and illuminating objects near the window. The silhouette of such an object – a framed five-year old picture of her and her friends, triggered a familiar memory inside her head; and soon, realization dawned and seeped into her pores like a welcoming delight from her subconscious mind. She was inside her room. She was lying atop her bed. It was just a dream. Nay, a nightmare. But she was safe. No one was dying. No one was going to die. No one was threatening and taunting death. No one.

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

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!
