My Skin is Painfully New – Chapter 6
No, I havent called her yet, said Bette while wiping the stainless steel cleaner across the top of the bar.
And why not baby girl? asked Kit, her hair pulled back in a bandana and her t-shirt moist with perspiration from the hard labor the sisters were putting in at the Planet, getting it ready for that evenings opening.
Its hard, Kit. I just dont want to drag up the past. Im done with that. Calling my old therapist seems like taking a huge step backwards, explained Bette. I want to move forward, not keep dredging things up.
Well Bette, sometimes taking a step back is the only way to go forward, you know what Im saying? And besides, with Marie you wont have to tell her your whole history, she knows all about what you went through, what we all went through when Sandy died, continued Kit.
I dont need therapy to help me with my mothers death, said Bette in an exasperated tone, I need help to get Tina back.
And you see absolutely no correlation between your behavior now and what you went through when you lost your mom? questioned Kit, arching her eyebrow and giving Bette a patronizing smile.
I was seventeen, for Gods sake Kit, of course I didnt handle it well, sighed Bette.
Hmm, suffering a loss, sleeping around with everyone in sight, falling into a self-destructive depression, refusing help of any sort,nope I dont see any similarities at all, said Kit.
Bette sat quietly on the bar stool for a moment, her eyes revealing a flash of deepening anger which was quickly overtaken by resignation, as if it were simply too much effort to allow the feelings to escalate.
Please Kit can we change the subject? asked Bette in a more calm voice. We really have a lot to accomplish before 9:00 tonight and at this rate youre going to open the doors and your first customer will fall over a cleaning bucket, break a leg and sue you.
Ever the optimist, arent you baby sis? said Kit smiling. Please just tell me that youll call Marie just to check in, okay. I am worried about you.
I know. Im glad someone is

I am SO loving this story. It is the one I look for 10 times a day. Thanks so much. It is very well written. Good for you for writing after so many years.
Ok… let’s see what happens… great update
I normally don’t make suggestions about where the story should go as I think that is the discretion of the writer. However, this once, I am going to make an exception to my rule. Please, let Bette go into the washroom and bitch slap Helena for all she’s worth (All Bette is worth, that is, not Helena as she is pretty worthless to me).
awesome chapter. i like the story line and your writing style. more please.
Really great – ready for more.
*doing a happy dance* new chapter! new chapter! this story is so great, it just feels right, so spot on with Bette’s characteristics, you’re doing a great job capturing the complexity of this situation between Tina and Bette. I’m loving it!
as always- very nice. thanks for the update and will be looking for more!
I’ve just caught up with all your chapters and had such fun reading them. Nicely done. I’m hooked now and longing for the next chapter!

I just read your chapters, I really like this story. Very well done.
so basically i am reliving season 2 all over again… that damn Helena. Bette snap out of it, i know it hurts but you need to move on…suicidal thoughts are not the answer. Get rid of Helena already.
