Beth Fatale - Chapter 1
Hey guys, so this is the first chapter of nine in Beth Fatale. Give it a read, hopefully it makes up for my 2 years of being away and yes, just like most of my non-fan fiction stories this does indeed have a lot of truth behind it, more truth than I usually put in but I was truly inspired and didn't want to change it too much from the truth. So here's the long awaited first chapter.
Chapter One
14th July 2012
I met her today! I can’t believe it! It really happened! She was so beautiful and amazing that it still hasn’t sunk in that I saw her, the woman with the sleek brunette hair and light aqua blue eyes. Oh she was just wonderful!
Sorry Diary, I’m just so excited. How often is it that a normal person like me gets to meet and become friends with their idol and tutor? She was so sweet, 45 minutes after the show she spent talking to me and made me her number one priority, not leaving my side once. I might have just fallen more in love with Katie than I thought was possible but magically I have.
I can’t even find the words to write, she’s too good for words although her opponent, I could have smacked her so bad. She was a great character, definitely made us all hate her. I saw a few other good matches, none as good as Katie’s match though! I met a great girl named Kirsty who had the craziest hair colours I’ve ever seen in my entire life. The main event was a show stopper, just simply amazing and then there was a twins vs twins match, the irony was they were all really small looking and the heels could wrestle much better than the faces but I didn’t have a choice to cheer for them. I honestly don’t remember any of their names from the show. I suppose that’s what happens when you go to a show, not knowing who is there except for one person and being there simply for them. 200 miles just to meet Katie, 4 hours car journey with people I can’t stand, it’s mental but I suppose that’s what you do for those you idolize the most when they come over to the UK for once.
It was a good show though, great for the first show I’ve been to outside of my company that I work for. I kind of really liked the vibe. I can’t wait to be there again, it’s going to be an incredible experience!
Bethany
Frantically writing in her diary Bethany wrote. She liked to write a diary. She once told me that it was one of the ways to lock all your memories up and never forget how you felt at that moment. Looking back I see what she meant, capturing a moment, a feeling or a person in words can be rewarding as much as it is helpful to your ever forgetful ageing brain. Bethany was a great girl, she deserved a lot in life, more than she got that’s for sure. She looked very similar to Katie the girl she described in her diary entry but was slightly smaller by an inch. She was similar to my height and I’m 5’8 but a description of what she looked like on the outside would not be complete without mentioning her waist length brunette hair and ever changing eye colour. I’ve still never managed to figure out if the rapid eye colour change was natural or if she wore contacts at varying times of the day but either way her physical appearance wasn’t what attracted me to her. She wasn’t the most physically attractive girl, at this point in her life she was 15 years old and like most female teenagers you could see she was going through puberty but at points she looked like an incredibly mature and beautiful woman and tried to be as proud as possible in her looks. What did attract me to her was her heart. She was pure. Bethany loved a pure heart, she frequently said she liked someone because they had a pure heart or some other variation of the same meaning and because of her I can’t stop saying the words ‘pure heart’ at the same rate she used to.
Bethany had gone to London to see Katie, she lived in Manchester and Katie was over in London for a show. She was a wrestler and so was Bethany. Even though Katie had 10 years of experience on Bethany and had wrestled all across America in promotions known worldwide, she was still willing to help Beth out. Katie was a very selfless woman and I think Beth found that attractive about her as she could see herself in the woman she idolized. Beth was selfless, her Dad died in the December the year before and she had to raise her 5 younger siblings and did so selflessly. She gave up the teenage life she once had that included friends and a social life to raise 5 kids as her own and got a job to help support her 2 older brothers so they could count on her to help. Her 2 older brothers were both in their main exam years so Beth took on a single parent role whilst her brothers could revise meaning that she failed the 5 exams she had that summer but she never complained about looking after those kids. I still speak to all of her siblings; they’re much older now just like I am. Her eldest brother is now an economist, and other older brother is now completing a doctorate in microbiological science and her 5 youngest siblings are living in Los Angeles with their Mum and finishing various degrees of school all with different ambitions. Despite everyone doing something different, I can still see a bit of Beth in all of them, she inspired everyone she met and was one of those people you couldn’t forget about after you’d met her.
Beth had no idea how much her life was going to change at that point and how much a new story was brought by meeting her idol that night. She wouldn’t realise for another 3 months but that night had brought another woman into her life, someone she would grow to love more than Katie and in a very different way. She was named Kelsey and her soul was as dark as her jet black hair, a manipulative fiend that Beth fell victim to, resulting in her downfall. Kelsey was the modern femme-fatale but used whoever she could to advance herself, the selfish bitch she really was shone through to me from the start but when you have a pure heart like Bethany did, you are blind to the evil in people and constantly do everything to forgive them only resulting in hurting yourself in the process. I still can’t see what Bethany ever saw in her, she was an intelligent girl but when it came down to choosing friends, she had the worst tastes and was fairly stupid with her choices. But I must not dwell on what could have been and focus on what happened. I want to share Bethany’s story, the story of what never should have happened to serve it as a warning if you ever meet someone like Kelsey in your life and to give Bethany the credit she deserved for how much crap she put up with.
The story began on that fateful day. She loved Katie, but you have to pay a price for all the good that occurs and the best thing brought the worst too. Unfortunately Beth still could have been saved at this point as Kelsey hadn’t truly entered her life yet. She had her summer where she looked after the kids and led a fairly decent simple life surrounded by loved ones. She took the kids out as much as they wanted to and looked after their dog, Brighty. She’s the craziest dog I’ve ever known, absolutely mental but a complete diva. She refuses to go out in the garden when it’s wet as though she’s afraid of her paws getting muddy but Bethany loved her and so did everyone else, myself included. She was the ideal dog and Beth had a life she loved. She still cried herself to sleep at night over her problems but the girl never stopped smiling as she genuinely loved life no matter what happened. Even on the day of her exam results where she failed she was smiling, not because she’d failed or was trying to put on a brave face but because her older brothers had done well meaning she’d done her job despite her having to find the money out of her own pocket to redo the exams.
I was with her through most of the time since that day and all summer she still spoke of what happened even into the September where she started her final year at high school.
‘She was so perfect Jen; it really is unbelievable how one woman can be so amazing. She’s completely changed my life. I kind of love her,’ she’d tell me.
‘I know you do, she’s a good woman and wants the best for you so keep her involved in your life!’ I’d reply.
‘Oh Jen, I wish I was back there where I felt free from everything.’ I had no idea how much I really wish she was back there repeating the day in some kind of time loop so she was still here even if it was in some artificial world. Then she had the heart to ask in a very serious manner, ‘Is that selfish?’
I can remember I was eating dinner with her and I choked on my food. At that point I thought it was the most unselfish thing she could wish for when her whole childhood was stolen from her. But now I realise how stupid she was to ask if that was selfish and never considered Kelsey to be the selfish cow she is.
My father always told me a very good piece of advice, ‘Don’t let anyone tell you what to do unless they pay your pay check. And then sometimes don’t listen to them either.’ That was Beth’s biggest flaw. She let herself get pushed around without a care in the world for whom was doing the bossing as long as others were happy, always everyone else and not her which annoyed me so much at times. She was too selfless and while I admired her for it, I also found her to be one of the most pathetic people I’d met in a long time. Who doesn’t do things for themselves and if they do they feel bad? Seeing Katie was the first thing she’d done for herself in 8 months and I regret it now, but I told her she shouldn’t feel ashamed about having fun without the kids around. I wish I’d have told her that she should have felt bad so she’d have never met Kelsey.
So, that's the first chapter. Hopefully you can't wait to find out who the hell Kelsey is and what relevance she has to what's happened to Bethany. What has happened to Bethany? And who is the narrator? Will all become clear in the next chapter? Well, you're just going to have to wait and see.
