Wherever You Go, There You Are
“So her not liking you is the reason you don’t do the homework?” Tina asks knowing she has Angelica in a box.
“Well no.” Angelica begins but gets cut off by Tina.
“Young lady there is no excuse for not doing your homework in my book. Do you understand it?”
Angelica just nods knowing that when her Mom is this mad the less she says the better she is.
“So if you understand it why didn’t you do it?” Tina asks confused.
“I did it I just didn’t turn it in.” Angelica confesses.
“What I never heard of anything so ridiculous. Turn it in. You have until the end of this week to get it all in before it adversely affects your grades and we can’t have that now can we.” Tina lectures Angelica with the same lecture she has heard time and time again.
“Yes Madam.” Angelica says silently hating her Mother’s attitude. Didn’t she realize that she was so bored with school she could do this stuff with one hand tied behind her back. None of her friends got into trouble this way. Their parents didn’t care so why did Angelica have to be held to a higher standard. It wasn’t fair.
“Well see that you do. I’ll be checking on-line Thursday to make sure.” Tina warned before turning to go into the kitchen and start dinner.
It never used to be this hard. It seemed like the nice easy going, sweet girl that she uses to be was gone and in her place she got this grumpy, over aged brat who talked back more than not these days. If she didn’t know better she would guess that Angelica was more 18 years of age than 12. What was she doing wrong that her daughter was turning out this way? Tina really didn’t know but if she was going to have to start logging on daily to check up on Angelica that was just what she was going to do. She already had a million things to get done in a day and now it was a million and one.

Shane knocked on Bette’s door, her hands full of dishes. In one bowl she had a broccoli salad full of lots of healthy broccoli along with raisins and dried cranberries. The other dish was baked scrod, seasoned with just a touch of paprika and lots of lemons. It was exactly the way Bette has liked it over the past few years.

HEy JWet, The plots thickens as the changes in the gals lives become evident. Great to see that Bette’s illness give Shane the ficus that she needed. Making a home is something that can creep up on you or happen overnight. Just happy to see that their friendship has survived through the years. It does leave me with one big question: Has Shane tried to contact Tina become Bette’s health? Perhaps Tina really disapeared from all of the gang. What a shame that would be. And as for Angelic, it looks like giving her everything has made her a bit misguided if not spoiled. Typical that doing anything that her mother would disapprove of makes it so much more appealing. Please continue soon. A big hug and hue smile at you being back and posting so frequently. I love it. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Is she a Rebel.because she has one parent,knows that some where she has another one.Ihat Tina works so hard to give her the good things in life. She is a smart girl so school can get boring. Tina should move to LA give the gang a chance to help Angie and Angie a chance to know her other Mother thanks
hey there- just caught up on the 2 chapters and really looking forward to wherever you take this. thanks!
I’d laugh really hard if Tina caught a whiff of smoke from Angelica’s hair. I know it wouldn’t get passed MY mom! Full flavor cigs…ick. I think one puff from a Marlboro red would make me hit the floor now.
Oh and Shane is just awesome. I’m sure taking on the role of “Bette’s keeper” meant some big adjustments in her life.
I’m trying to figure out if Angelica is an unknown to Bette, cus i’d find it hard to believe they wouldn’t be there for bette during chemo?
Jwet…..You know you’re good when some of the best FF writers read your story and comment. This story has so many possibilities. Bette’s learning that no woman is an island and she would love Angelica and Tina needs Bette back in her life b/c Angelica is so like Bette and Tina will want to help Bette. PPS.
Angelica is rebelling..Hmmm..I wonder why she’s skipping school and not turning in her homework. That’s really sweet of Shane being there for Bette in a time of need. I wonder what will happen if Tina finds out about Angelica’ rebelling. PPS.
no, Angie, no!! Don’t smoke that thing!! you ain’t gonna be as tall as mama B… *ahem* O-K… I’m so glad Bette’s better now, thx! And I can’t wait for them to meet, that will be so awesome… BTW, loved your last story… Question!! they live… where exactly? Please post soon!
Thank you Jwet. I look forward to more.
of course tina and bette get 2gether; and that little brat will achieve it….where does tina and ange live? where does Bette live? and what have they been doing in the meantime…just wanna know, lol
Absolutely loving the things each of the women are facing in life right now – challenges and testing their personal strengths and weaknesses. Love that this has new and different things they have to face. You are on a wonderful path with this tale. Thanks for writing.
angie is such a rebel, and i’m glad bette wasn’t alone, shane was perfect for that…i hope your girls will find their way back to each other…permenantly :)
Well Sweetie, you made me smile from the author’s notes. It’s nice to see that you remember the story. Hopefully my tech will fix my internet soon. But this story of yours is so well written, it’s amazing to say the least. (I lost my words, I’m sorry). I feel for Bette because I know how it feels to have no control over your body and the environment around you. And having to succumb to whatever is forcing you to submit your independence to other peoples will. And poor Tina I see how that meeting went in my mind. And I can totally see myself in Angie, the thrill of pissing off your mother is some kind of weird excitement. Must be a teenage thrill, I don’t know. But you’ve captured it so well. Thank You. Please Post Soon. PEACE.
Hmmm….well, part of the problem might be Tina’s lack of authority. I know when I got called downstairs it was not phrased as a question and there was no ‘please’. I was simply told to come down and I did. But another part of the problem is that Angelica is 12. She’s supposed to be rebelious and seeking some independence. It’s Tina’s job to find a way to corral this natural tendency so it helps the girl grown and not bite her in the ass. Tricky. But hey, if Bette can get past her independence and vanity, Tina should be able to steer the right course with Angie. Might be good to call in Shane as a reinforcement.
Hey Jwet, Of course I’m hoping that they end up together, but your writing is so enticing that I’m along for the ride either way. Keep the chapters coming!!
OMG what can I say about teens……they want their independence but yet can’t handle it once we give it to them…..Hopefully Tina can make it thru these time……..I’m so glad that Bette has Shane……Now that is a true FRIEND……PPS
Bette has come out a better person for her life altering experience. Tina sounds a little like Melvin when dealing with Angelica. Angelica seems to be a little bit like Bette in some ways. If the fans of your story have a vote of the two getting back together my vote is for them to become a family only this time with their teenage daughter.
Sounds like Bette and Tina need each other in their lives right now, Bette will get Angie in shape, and Tina will get Bette in shape.
Oh this is not good!
OOOO,Angelica is a rebel! I don’t really mind if Tina and Bette do not get together just don’t let Bette die. Post soon!
This is really good. A life altering experience for Bette. Angelica is no angel.. I’m looking forward to more!
Hey, jwet! i’m trying to catch up on stories…this one is great! unlike smiley, could you warn me if bette and tina aren’t going to end up together?! those stories make me so sad! ff is the only place where they can work out their differences are reconnect! i think that there could be a way for them here… maybe? hopefully? I do agree with smiley on one thing: plz don’t let bette die. can’t wait for the next post!
Okay, You do not want to tell any more. But please tell me only one . Becomes this Story a Happy End with Bette and Tina. PLEASE. Otherwise I die. I may no more read stories which depress me. Please Jwet only a little tip.
hey Jwet. Angel is a rebel and a brat all in one!!! She needs a good whooping. Still wondering where and Y B & T are in diff parts of the world..so to speak??? Sorry about your mom and thanks for your sympathy towards my aunt. I dreamt her last night so now I wait for the great change that is to come…..every time I dream her something great happens. TMI???? if so forgive me I am just happy that I dreamt her always am!!
I love Bette and Shane’s new stronger friendship. I can see Shane taking over that role for Bette. And Angelica…so she is so smart she gets bored in school…sounds like she does well in art…hmmm. And,well I hate to admit it but I first tried cigarettes at 12. Thanks J!!
Angie the wild child, what will Tina do? I could never understand when my son would say he did his homework, but “forgot” to turn it in and yes, he had done it. Kids are strange. Well I’m glad Bette is in remission. B&T don’t need to reunite, but when will Tina learn about Bette and Bette about Tina and Angelica? Hope it sooner than later. Thanks for the update. PPS
well i just caught up. became a grandmother again yesterday morning at 541 am. his name is chase daniel. my son that died was named daniel so, it was very sweet. plus i worked all weekend so i didnt see this til this morning. as you know, i think, i work at a cancer hospital. its only for cancer. so this strikes a big cord. this is all i deal with each and everyday. so love AML. cant wait to see where this goes. loved it. thanks.
Still great, love it. When do Bette and Tina “remeet” each other? lol Please post soon, as I will try to do too :)
Oh Angie!! She really is a brat, huh? And so glad that Bette’s got so many people to look after her. Great update Jwet. Looking forward to more.
Hey girl, got to read this later, but coffee would be good if we can arrange it. I have to be in Middleburg Hts by 4PM tomorrow, otherwise let me know when and where works for you.
I’m going to keep my fingers crossed that B&T get back together, but you do what you want. Angie’s a handful already and she’s only 12! PPS!!
Hey Jwet. I’ve celebrated my birthday now I’m playing catch up. I love Bette and Shane’s relationship. Angelica is a handful. I’m hooked already! Take care of yourself and when are you returning to San Francisco?
