The silence that had invaded the truck after that statement almost rendered the two Kennards deaf. Thank Goodness the younger blonde wasn’t the one driving the truck; cause if she was, they had crashed into another car by now and died instantly.
It took a while, but when she was finally able to gain control of her lungs and breathe again, Tina – with her heart thumping loudly in her ears – managed to utter a mousy.. “What did you just say daddy?”
Ken exhaled and looked at his daughter when they stopped at a red light. “I heard that you and Bette broke up..” He was about to say more but stopped when he saw his daughter flinch, as if what he had just said was a painful slap to her face.
“We didn’t.” Tina mumbled, her eyes glued to her lap. “Not technically.” She added in small, inaudible voice. Shit, she cursed inwardly, feeling the start of a migraine develop. She didn’t want this conversation with her father. She had been determined to keep Ken in the dark; or at the most, tell him that she and Bette had a small misunderstanding that they’d be able to fix soon if he had pushed about her girlfriend’s absence some more. Too many noses had been sticking themselves in their business – and Ken, though his concern was appreciated, he would be the biggest, nosiest nose yet. “Bette and I are still together. We haven’t broken up, but things are well, complicated.” She sighed, staring at her twiddling thumbs.
“But is it true, that there’s a third party involved?”
“Where’d you hear that?” Tina looked at her father sideways, her face mirroring her shock. She didn’t think he’d be privy to something as trivial as Tonya’s twitter page. Sure the girl has gained some sort of notoriety, but only to students from Redwind Academy – not to middle-aged men from Los Angeles.
“Oh.. here and there..” Ken waved a dismissive hand, feeling cryptic enough not to reveal his sources.
“Daddy.”
Despite the seriousness of the conversation, Ken smirked and kept his eyes on the road. He knew that impatient tone all too well. “You won’t get an answer from me by bossing me around, young lady. I’m not Bette, and I’m no pushover when it comes to you and your scare tactics.”

My eyes bulge out of their sockets…WOW…54 pages. Wow, I can only bow in admiration. Thank you. On the story, both are having a hellion on the break time, man I am having a hellion on the break time and not even part of the story. I guess we havnet seen the last of the wannabe musician back. What happens next? ;)
thanks alch…another brilliant update and i actually took a bathroom break just like you said lol. i’m just afraid that since this is a long update it might take you longer to write the next? hope not, looking forward to it.
You made me so happy on a Monday morning! That was a hard feat for anybody else but you’vr done it! :) Onto the next chapter… Thanks!
Close to 15 and 3/4 LOL. That was a beauty of a car. I love toblerone! Now I must move on to the next post. Thanks alch.
wow..that was epic! But well worth the read…thank you for that ray of sunlight by way of Bette’s memory…and of course for the multitude of “..” this was a good one..
I did a little happy dance when I saw your post! I have to say the chapters were a little short…LMAO! Such a gut wrenching time for B & T. Beautifully written!
Great chapter!Now I think I’ll start loving Mondays:)Thank you for a fabulous update.:D
Thank you Alchy for such a wonderful and long read! You did a great job of weaving the scenes together. I love the Tina-Ken teasing, Bette – Sonja “recovery/addiction” moment, 3-step recovery for Tina, Sam/Bette’s conversation and the Tibette car. So very, very, very clever!!!! Ok…I sense that “Keith Arden” is somehow connected to a certain “Kate Arden.” Hm…looks like a black cloud on the Tibette reunion horizon. But…I cling to the hope that Ken’s almost secret sharing of perhaps an engagement is in the future. You know that small ray of hope is what is bringing your readers back!!!!! Get some rest Alchy…get your creative juices a break but come back real soon…we need our Alchy fix!
Wow that was great! Excuse me while I read the next part. I will say your bette is soooooo sweet
Your story always satisfies, Alchemy. You get some of everything in here, and it’s all fab. I loved this chapter. Here’s hoping that Tina can stick to #3 on her list, and I hope Bette can do the same. Great, great update, Alchemy. Thank you! :)
Brilliant chapter Alchemy – you always take such care with detail, emotion, characterization – amazing ;-) As someone said abt the previous chapter – one thing Bette still needs to learn is how to take Tina off that pedestal and treat her like an equal. Relationships mean sharing – both good things and bad – IMO that’s the biggest repair they need, the only truly important one. I loved seeing Tina & Ken again – what a great father daughter dynamic they have. I see Tina is still eating her pain, haha! The flashback was great and so was the bittersweet ending.
That was awesome, love seeing Ken and Tina together again.
