Hindsight – Chapter 14
Main Entry: hindsight
Pronunciation: ‘hIn(d)-"sIt
Function: noun
Meaning: understanding the nature of an event after it has happened
"Hindsight is always better than foresight"
So, she let me borrow her car, I had to smile to myself at her offer, she had obviously remembered that Alice dropped me off, it was more than I had done, so much had happened since Alice pulled up outside of this house last night that it wasn’t a thought that crossed my mind as to how I would get wherever I needed to ‘pop’ out to, I just knew I needed to…
And I’m damn sure that if I had to get a cab, that hour that I had promised her would have stretched into probably at least two.
She hadn’t hesitated in offering, and she had said in that quiet tone ‘you’re still on the insurance…’, I hadn’t expected her to say that, she was usually always so diligent in her affairs, but maybe that was not the best choice of word I could use, she was so diligent in her organisation of paperwork and life in general, that for me to still be on her insurance after those seven weeks and five days, well… she certainly wasn’t firing on all cylinders, but I knew that before I came here last night, I knew that from the messages she had been leaving on my cell, I knew that from the things our friends had been saying, but when I did come here last night… it was then that I saw the devastation of her life…
I think I knew deep down that she would be like this, but I didn’t want to think about that, I tried hard not to allow myself to think about it… I stupidly thought that if I didn’t think about it, it would go away, the very thing I always did… why did I always do that, why did I ignore the things that were falling apart, hoping that they would disappear or right themselves without me having to involve myself, that was really a man thing to do, they always did that and it annoyed the fuck out of me, and yet if I think about it, those are the very things I find I have done in my relationship with Bette…

this was great
Awwww, Jo… that was so sweet. The Levis, the memory, the photograph… the love, the tears, the long-felt need… just beautiful. Thanks!!!
I know the idea about the photos was your own country bumpkin, sorry about that LMAO!!!!
So sad, and yet sort of happy. I loved the little flashback to the Porter ass stopping traffic. It’s like I told you the other day. Dean Porter is hot!!
I’m gonna cry
How about this name – do you like it?? We do and I’m sure JT does too LMAO!!!!! Loved the chapter.
Uh, Jo, you may just want to rethink that reincarnation as a pair of levis thing. I mean, just cause the pair you have in mind graces Bette’s posterior, it doesn’t necessarily follow that that would be the ass you end up on. (After all, if you’re reincarnated, that automatically means you’re not in heaven.) You might get stuck with Robbie Coltrane or something. Just think about it, that’s all I’m saying. Falls under “be careful of what you wish for”.
Hello jo, Well what you know, ANother tender and touvhing chapter from the emaculate writer that you are. The sentiment in this tale tugs at the heart-strings yet is not too saccharin and false. I believe that the honesty with which you write is the leveller your words. It is heartbreaking to read how two people can rip each other apart without realizing it and without malice. Please continue this tear jerking with your talented and skillful prose. Many thanks and appreciation. Your Loyal Fan.
You can really make a person cry, Its a happy time but yet so sad. Tina is doing all the thinking now .She knows she had more to do with the break than Bette. thanks so much for posting will take the long with the short ones. thanks
And now that I’ve read the story, I think my suggestion of extra diapers to accomodate the flood of sentimental tears I made last time still stands. I wonder if there’s a good way to wear them on the head without obstructing speech and vision?
OMG…thank god for the writers that are true Tibette fans. We will need you. : ) Thanks, Jo.
Damn Jo, you made me tear up! I am not goin to even acknowledge the fact that scene in the backyard is connected to to your other story. As I have stated before this story has no connection to anything except season 3. Post soon!
You are an amazing and intelligent writer. You don’t write down to us. And yet, it all seems so simple and perfect. Her smile is truly breathtaking. If Tom Cruise has the best “male” smile then Jennifer Beals definitely has the “female” equivalent. She truly can fill a room with her smile.
Jo, you did it again. This chapter was better then the last. JB in Levi’s would stop anyone dead in there tracks. I am glad Tina is thinking things out. Thank you PPS
I can see things improving between those two, theres a lot of hope, very good Jo. And azmama is so right when she says that JB can fill a room with her smile. She dazzles me everytime I see that bright smile of hers.
Yep, still get a lump in my throat reading this!…but im seeing hope there again…its still very sad and emotional…but there is a definate light at the end of the tunnel…another great one mate!
I agree with funnyone. You may end up on my ass and that’s not the best place to be. LOL Okay Tina has to pull it together and hurry up or she won’t be back in time.
Tina has a lot to make up for, but she’s making a good start…. enjoyed the post.
It sounds like Tina is coming to her senses and is remembering all her love for Bette. Maybe I should say all of Bette’s love for Tina and maybe just maybe there is that spark that is still smoldering in the ashes of their lives. With a little scattering of the ashes and memories may a spark again ignite the love of Tibette.
Hey Jo…thanks for posting. This is some emotional stuff girl…I love it. If Tina is gonna keep stopping and having these flashbacks…she’s gonna run out of time…she should have stayed at Bette’s ordered out and got Alice to get Angelica a outfit or 2…Is she gonna rethink her relationship with Henry next? I hope so.
I need a box of tissues! Anyone?
jo all of this is sweet
Your writing stirs so many emotions. Thanks for continuing the story.
i hope tina will make it in time but it’s nice to see that she noticed all those little things that bette was living with for the last 7 weeks
Absolutely fabulous !!! Your talent is amazing !! Thanks!!
Damn that was good, you made me cry my friend. This is will make Tina realized how much Bette love her and she have a lot to make up, and let it start mow. Ok post soon please, thanks!
Well, there simply are no words. I just can’t wait for your next chapter, Jobadge. I am anticipating it highly. You’re such an amazingly gifted storyteller ! You’re a blessing, Jo. Thank you so much !
How can you allways find those words that wrench a heart with pain and make it jump up with hope at the same time… This story, Jo… Its a piece of art, its a jewel, a pearl, and so many emotions, so muich love floating under the surface… I just had to secretly sign in at the hospital to leave you a coomment… Thank you, Jo… There are no words to describe your writing!
oh my god reading this at work is so dangerous. jobadge, your writing is so amazing. you succeeded to put tears in my eyes, so true and real.
TiBette forever…
Absolutely beatiful!
