Previously…………………………
Later that night Bette returned home after eating dinner with Kit. She slipped off her shoes and sat on the bed looking around at their empty house. She layed back on the bed and took in the silence. Her hand rested on Tina’s pillow and Bette imagined it was warmed by Tina’s heat. She rolled over and pulled the pillow in close to her taking in the scent and letting the comfort of Tina wash through her. She dozed off until her cell began vibrating against her hip. She woke and thought, “*****! I forgot to call Kit to tell her I was home.” She pulled the phone from it’s case and looked at the caller id. The call was coming from Tina’s cell. It took a minute to register the number, she thought surely she was dreaming or her mind was playing tricks on her, but when the number continued to flash she knew she was very awake. She took a deep breath and answered, “Tina?” Silence. “T?….Are you there? I know it’s you I read your number.”
Tina: “I’m here.”
Bette gasped, “Oh my God, Tina….I…I”
Tina cut her off, “I didn’t call to talk.” This struck Bette as odd and her heart fell. She was too afraid Tina might hang up if she said anything else so she just waited for Tina to continue, “I’m not ready to talk Bette….far from it. I’m going to need some time.”
Bette: “I know…I’m not pushing you.”
Tina: “I’m still very hurt and angry with you just so you know, but that’s not why I called…..I called because I wanted to tell you….I love you, too. Incase you were wondering….”
Bette is terribly confused. She’s still relieved but none the less confused.
Bette: “I was wondering, but how did you know?”
Tina: “I was there, Bette….at Alice’s…..I heard the conversation between you two…I heard everything.”
Bette is shocked, but she is glad at least Tina now knows how she truly feels.
Tina: “I’m sorry if this makes it harder for you, but I couldn’t go to sleep without letting you know that I love you.”
Bette: “Thank you….I know I don’t deserve it, but thank you.”
Tina: “I have to go now…..”
Bette: “Tina wait….I just want to tell you…..” but Tina was already gone. Bette looked at the phone still flashing Tina’s number, now signaling the end of the call. She layed her head back on the pillow, “…..goodnight, baby.”

Wow they just needed the air that the other was breathing, They we there because they no one els How very very sad, To love so much and not to want to forgive.
OMG…”They weren’t friends, they weren’t lovers, they weren’t partners, hell they weren’t really even exes….they just were.” I am so sad. I hope Tina forgives her soon and I so wish that season 2 had started like this.
Whoa! that was so Beautiful written I Love it Please continue post soon Thanks!
well lets see where this goes. it was well written and sad. thanks.
They just were. Damn that was heavy and so very sad. Hopefully Tina will give Bette a chance, but your last line before the poem, it said she walked out of Tina’s life. Like is Bette going somewhere?
this was a great chapter – and i love this song its mine and my g/f from when we were living at opposite ends of the country. I think it brings hope to lovers everywhere – keep up the fantastic writing
truelly heartbreaking these strong emotions of bette. i think you can make a mistake and some are more forward than others. in this case the affair but not seeing your partner falling apart is also a harsh attitude. thanks for this great story and hope to read you again soon.
Bette need not just say things to Tina but start show her how much important she is.. marriege is this and rebuild a marriege need more than that she need to show Tina everyday that they bolong together and how much she is sorry for what she did and that will never happen again..ok i hope see what have in the letter soon thanks Cole
Props to Bette for finally breaking the vicious cycle. It was definitely unhealthy for both of them. I hope Tina’s able to find some courage to work through things now and figure out what she wants. Bette needs to find a way to change herself for the better so she can keep her promises to Tina.
i know tina hurts but they both need to be adults and talk and get help from a professional because most people are worthy of a second chance before you split for good==drama for stories or tv is fine–but their love is way so special=maybe i expect more from tina in helping bette to change for the better==i would of wanted the late work hours changed a long long time ago==plus she’s expecting, now is her time to get the changes she wants-i don’t think they can be done apart—i do likethe story, you don’t haveto follow where i think the show went astry last year
this is just a great story! I loved how you placed The Promise by Tracy Chapman in there…She is just great
Damn that was beautiful written and great chapter. This is sad and hurt for them, hope Tina will let Bette back to her life soon. Post soon please, thanks!
WOW!!!, that was beautiful. I do hope they can get back together. If only IC had done this after the fight of S1 and Beginning S2. Thanks so very much for this story.
