Just The Girl 2.0 – Chapter Fifteen (based loosely on HYD: Returns)
Which brings her to another thing.. Ken. Tina would have to admit, that the reason why her father didn’t blow up and kill Bette when she told him what happened was that she softened the blow a bit and downplayed certain things – like her depression, her sadness, her pain. There was something about telling a family member about the disaster that was her lovelife that just didn’t sit well with Tina. No matter how much Bette had wronged her, or hurt her, or despite how many times she made her cry in the recent days – she could never tell her father, her protector, her lifelong guardian the extent of it. For one, in spite of everything, she still loved Bette – deeply, wholeheartedly, without sense nor rhyme or reason. And to destroy her lover in Ken’s eyes, in her opinion, was a disservice to her and Bette’s relationship. And Tina didn’t want that. Ken was a silly and cuddly teddy bear, but he would break out the claws and fangs and turn into a vicious grizzly when someone hurt his cub. And knowing this, Tina had her mind set on keeping her silence and letting her father know as little as possible about the real status of their relationship. She didn’t want her dad to hate Bette. She didn’t want Ken to hurt Bette; to think any less of her. Because even though their love hit a major road bump, she had faith – and she was certain – that they were going to make it. They were in bad times; but hours upon hours of reflection made her realize that there were a lot of good times too. And those good times, no matter how distant they felt now, outweigh and grossly outnumber the bad. And whatever was happening between them was their problem.
Tina Kennard was determined to hate Bette Porter. She told the brunette as much during their coincidental meeting at Fat Ben’s one week and four days ago. Yet after all that time of trying to do so.. she found out that she could only.. “Fucking hate myself..” She slumped down at her table and let out a deep breath, feeling like a big o’l failure.
Ting!

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.
