    Author Notes:

    She sat with her elbows on her desk, wiping a constant flow of tears. I turned my back to her and just stood there hunched over, sobbing uncontrollably. It had to be the lowest point in my entire young life. I wanted to run but I knew it would be the last door shutting between us.

    The Adventures Of Bette Porter And Sissee Gardner After Yale (Part 7, Chapter 8)
    PART SEVEN: VENICE, CALIFORNIA

    Chapter 8

    I was very careful to give Bette space. She came home that night and went straight upstairs. After a restless night, I got up very early the next morning and went to work without seeing her. I had a very difficult work day. Several times I left my desk and went into the restroom and cried. I just could not help it.

    I wanted to call her but I did not and she surely did not call me. I made sure I was home at my usual time but it did not matter because she was not there. When I heard her open the garage door at 9 p.m., I went to the guest bedroom and the whole day went by without contact.

    No one will ever know how bad I felt. It’s when one begins to think, “….if only…..”. If only I had not gone to Wisconsin. If only I had not drunk that Jack Daniels. If only I could remember what actually happened. If only I had never met Howard Schmidt. If only Bette would talk to me, maybe it would not be too late.

    Several days went by without our seeing each other. She was very late on Friday night and I remembered she had an art gallery opening to attend. When she came in after midnight I heard her stumbling, running into furniture and I heard her go into a top shelf in the kitchen where we kept our booze. I listened as she banged cupboards and took out a glass and poured herself a drink. She did not try to cover the noise. In fact, she seemed either deliberately loud or she just did not give a damn. It occurred to me to go speak to her but I knew it was not a good time.

    When I got up on Saturday morning I decided to take a long walk. When I got back, I listened for her upstairs. I heard nothing but I looked in the garage and saw her car. I decided it was time we communicated. I noticed she had made a pot of coffee. I poured a cup for her and one for me and walked up the stairs.

    2. It can’t stop there right? Pllllleeeeaaassse don’t stop there please. How about they meet up after 20 years? Or Bette meets the daughter/son and then her mom walks in and it’s her? I’m begging you this was to sad and to painfull even for me the reader. Great job, nice writing!

    3. kbergin47, I have been telling you that there are just a few chapters left of the After Yale series but as I wrote above, it has been awhile since I read it. We have just finished Part 7 and now I find there is a Part 8 to After Yale. So, although, things do change, it the saga will go on.

    5. my stomach clenches reading this story, that is how good your writing is, i feel i am in sissy position, you are literally killing me with this story, but i still want more. great, great job!!!!!

    6. bettyvhall, You know, as I say at the top of this story, I wrote it in 2005, just after the second season of TLW, so I have not read it for a long time. In re-reading and even re-writing some of it, I will tell the truth, a steady stream of tears fell down my face because I felt so bad for both Bette and Sissee. I had some readers back then telling me that they could have worked it out and stayed together but we must remember it was back in 1985-86 and things were different then, not as open as they are now and besides, there was Bette’s fierce pride to consider. As for things getting better for them as they separate, it will eventually again because Bette and Sissee have a destiny but there will be a lot of bumps in the road. Thanks for being a reader betty. I appreciate your thoughts.

    7. annieb69, I guess I should thank you for your compliment, although my being responsible for having your stomach clenching may not be a good thing. Hey! Maybe it’s only the elastic in your underwear! (smile). Whatever it is I am pleased that you are a reader who encourages me to write on. There definately is more, so please don’t go away.

    8. September, It will continue. As I wrote above, there is a Part 8 and then actually, three more series. Thank you for your comment. I am happy to have you here.
