Chapter 1
Tina was trying to take one more second to complete her thought, Tina was plagued by the clock. Once again she was late. Looking at her watch she knew that Angelica would be waiting for her by the time she got to her school. It just couldn’t be avoided. If she didn’t do her job to the best of her ability then there wouldn’t be the private school that Angelica was waiting at.
Sitting outside the school, once again waiting for her Mom to pick her up, Angelica pulled at her collar, hating the school uniform that she was always required to wear.
She was also tired of always having to wait for her Mom to pick her up. Tina was consistently late, leaving an embarrassed Angelica to be one of the last kids to leave the school each day. Resenting this habit of her mother’s, Angelica took one more look down the road to see if the familiar car was coming, and then abruptly stood, her decision made. She was ten years old after all, and no matter what her mother said, she felt old enough to find her own way home. It can’t be that hard to figure out the subway!

Bette was leaving her gallery for the evening. It had been a difficult day, something that normally only took her a few hours to perform took twice as long. She wasn’t really sure what was going on with her but her overriding emotion was a bone weary tiredness. It was only a partial day for Bette, her normal day more like 15 hours. But Bette couldn’t explain it but she just couldn’t be here any longer. Closing the door behind her, she put her key into the lock. Before she could turn the key a wave of nausea passed over her making her lean up against the door for just a moment to regain her equilibrium. “Well that does it. I guess I have to quite ignoring this and find out what the problem is.” She says to herself but already knows that if she can make it home she will really wait to see how she feels in the morning.
****
Tina walked up to her brownstone in a quick clip. She had been to Angelica’s school and no one there seemed to know where her daughter was. She had pounded on the door for what seemed like forever. Finally, a janitor opens the door only to inform her that the school was closed for the day. She knew it was closed why else would she be there to pick up her daughter? She was praying to God that she had somehow gotten a ride home with one of her friends and just hadn’t informed her.

Depressing, interesting and well written. Bette is treating AML as if it’s a mere bump in the road, an annoyance that she doesn’t have the time or patience for. Unusual response on her part. But if she really thought deeply about her circumstance, she’d probably be profoundly sad. She needs her loved ones around her, to lean on a bit. Happy B-Day, Seahurst. Have a splendid day. Jwet, PPS.
I really like the first chapter. Bette has leukemia?? Wow..I have a funny feeling that this will be a bittersweet story, but I can’t wait to see what happens next. Keep it up. PPS.
At least Bette’s prognosis is good. Is this 11 years after S1 or perhap an alternate premise to Seahurst’s ‘If it is meant to be’ or just an unrelated beginning for B&T? I need more so post soon..lol. Happy b’day Seahurst, I’m actually cooking dinner for someone b’day today also, save you some springrolls :)
very well written…very interested to see where the journey takes us.
I also meant to tell you that I once got a fortune that said, “People who don’t know where they are going wind up someplace else.”
J, so many questions! Does Bette have a relationship with Angie? I wonder how much of this illness Tina is privy to? I can tell I’ll need a few tissues by my computer when I read this. Take it on, write it, and bring it to us J. Thanks! PPS
Loved the last one, and I can tell already I’m hooked and will surely love this one too. Can’t wait to see how you’re going to bring them into each others lives again. I’m ready for the ride you’re going to take us on. Oh and Happy Birthday to Sea! :) PPS
Looking forward to see where you take this story. Curious about B&T relationship or lack of.
yeah, this is a bit scarey for me with Bette sick…better send Tina over soon…Ange needs her mama B also…nice start looking 4ward to next 5 chapters so pps.
Happy birthday Sea even if I am late…wishing you a great year…
Great beginning. Does anyone know about Bette’s condition? I guess I can read all about it when you post more :) PPS
This is intersting start!
Okay – interessting start. I’m curious which way your Story goes . Hopes Bette survives at the end and finds again to Tina and Angie. Please contiune.
Interesting story. Is Bette a part of Angie’s life? The thought of Bette being ill not good. Can not wait to see where you take us, Thanks PPS
Oh crap! Bette’s really sick. Are Tina & Angie not in her life at all? Great start. Need more please. Happy Birthday to Seahurst! I like her stories too. PPS!!
Good premise.
Very interesting beginning. I wonder where you will take the characters fromhere. PPS
Seahurst is having a birthday? HIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII! Okay, wow I can already tell this is going to be somewhat sad. Doesn’t sound like something I should read at work. Bette’s going to get better…right??
I want to know the rest :) Please continue soon :)
Now I have a Clint Black song stuck in my head. Time to read!
so are u gonna give back drops on the B & T relationship and y they r not together in your world?? and let us in on if Angie sees Bette at all. Cancer sucks, lost my aunt to it years ago, and no one I mean no one ate and lived as healthily as she did. still can’t reminisce about her with out becoming deeply emotional.
Another great story to look forward too. Lets hope Bette is okay. Please post the next five chapters you have written.
sounds like bette will be fighting her sickenss alone for now…glad to see a new story…happy birthday, Seahurst.
Oh my goodness!! This is so very intriguing. So so far we got Tina and Angie in New York and Bette wrapped in her work in L.A. and living with cancer. Well well I don’t know when we’ll get another chap of this but I’ll be waiting. Thanx Sweetie. PEACE.
Oh no she’s sick! I can tell this is going to tug at my heart strings! Glad to have ya back! Happy Birthday Seahurst!
oh.. Bette’s sick? Interesting start Jwet… certainly looking forward for more. Hope its not a sad story :)
Thanks for this birthday present J!! You know I am a sucker for any story written by JWET!!! Thanks for the wishes as well. I will be spending my birthday with good friends who are cooking salmon for dinner. (For those of you with a long memory, think I should give her Tina’s recipe? LOL) Thanks again JWET. I can already tell this is going to pull at my heartstrings.
I like the start – both women struggling and how will they end up back together??? I love your writing can’t wait for more.
Hi!!! Great 1st chapter!! I’m guessing Bette has no relationship with Angie or Tina at all… And I have the feeling that in one of her escapades, Angie’s gonna run into Bette… I sure hope so!! Please make Bette be alright at the end!! Post soon… P.s.: Happy Birthday Seahurst! 20 years already, eh? lol
Good start……Looking to read more!
Quite an interesting start and a great thrill to see your name again.
What a way to start a story! I’m intrigued, post again, post haste!
What a treat to see you back so soon. Liking the start though it seems the two parted ways after Provocations. Will be looking forward to how you throw them back together. Absolutely post more… why keep those other four chapters all to yourself?! It’s so much nicer to share!
HEY JWet, Doing a little happy dance now. It is okay as most folks have leaft the building. Now just screaming my delight at the start of, what I know will be, a wonderful journey. You have me hook, line and sinker now. I have assumed that Bette and Tina are not together. Does Bette still see Angelica? Are they in different cities or states? Will Bette’s illness be the spark that unites the fire of their reationship. Please say yes. Anywho, I really can’t wait to see where you take me. I will follow. Thank you so much for returning with a new story. Your Loyal Fan.
