"I’m sorry baby…I didn’t want to disturb you on your vacation, but your father told me that you hung up on him the other night…and…"
Tina could hear her mother tearing up on the other end. She often let her emotions get the better of her.
"Mom, dad called me up yesterday night at 2am to tell me how perverted I am, and that I should come home so he could ‘fix’ me. How the fuck was I not supposed to hang up on him?" Tina said, raising her voice slightly as her anger and frustration escalated with every word.
"Tina…baby…that’s not the reason he called you up last night."
The blonde took a few deep breaths as she tried to calm herself and listen to what her mother was saying.
"Baby he’s ill…really ill. The doctors said they don’t know how long he’s got…it could be months, it could be days…"
Tina zoned her mother’s voice out as she gazed down at the floor.
She could hear her sobbing into the phone as she clutched the receiver tightly in her hand.
"What’s wrong with him?" Tina said quietly, a lone tear creating a wet trail down her cheek.
"He has prostate cancer…he went for a check-up and they found it but…he got an infection, he’s been in hospital the last few days…"
Her mother was speaking through sobs as she tried to compose herself.
"Why didn’t you tell me sooner?" Tina said quietly.
"We tried to get hold of you honey…but no one knew where you were until last night. Then your father tried to speak to you from the hospital and…"
"That’s not fair mom…he didn’t say anything about being ill…" Tina brought her hand to her forehead as another tear silently ran down her cheek.
"Tina…just come home, please. You need to see him, in case…" She trailed off. "You need to make things right."
Tina gently wiped her cheeks.
"I’ll try and catch a flight home as soon as I can." She said quietly, closing her eyes.
"Thank you honey. Call me before you get on the plane."
Tina sniffed.
"Okay…and mom?"
"Yeh honey?"
"Could you…" Tina swallowed the lump that had formed in her throat. "Could you tell him I love him and…I’m sorry…just in case."

Wauw I really didn´t expect that call, rather the beginning of a romantic evening. So you like drama, well drama is okay, but not too much, okay. PPS
UGH! How could you do that to us? I was so happy..loving that nice, romantic dinner and then bam..you bring the drama. I hope Tina doesn’t feel the “guilt” PPS
Drama central indeed I’m sure everything will be alright hopefully though tina isnt swayed by her family to live a life without bette simply out if obligation
So, Tina’s father was ill when he called her at 2am, and despite his diagnosis, he offered her no acceptance, but only wanted her to come home so she could be “fixed”. Being at sick doesn’t give one a pass. Being so harsh and saying hurtful things to someone you supposedly love when you KNOW you have a limited time left is just not on. Tina can go back home to say whatever to her father, but I think she should take Bette with her. She should show him how and with whom she’s going to be living her life, who she’s chosen. If he can’t accept her with that, it’s his loss, not Tina’s. Great story, Hardy, thanks for posting.
Do Tina’s parents have some sort of GPS wired to Tina?? How are they always finding her?? lol Sucks that her father is sick, but I hope they don’t try to make her break up with Bette. I think Tina needs to let Bette be there for her, she needs a shoulder to cry on, it’s horrible to be in it alone. Anyway on to the next post, I’m dying to find out what’s gonna happen:)
I just caught up. One step forward and 2 steps back seems to be the theme of life these days. I hope all goes well with Tina and her trip to see her father. I hope for Tina’s sake that he does not make it difficult for and make her promise to change.
Poor Bette and sad for Tina, hope thing will be ok!
Oh man.. drama drama… but you will make it better right :) I hope Tina’s dad acccepts her for who she is. Thank you! Great update :)
Talk about a momentum killer… I really feel for both of them. Tina with her father being ill and being torn between her love for Bette and her family’s lack of acceptance; Bette feeling so close Tina and yet being so far away. Holding out for brighter days ahead!
That sucks!!!!! I hope Tina’s father does not make her feel guilty about being with Bette and has her living a normal, unfulfilled life with someone else. I hope Bette does not get hurt and becomes strong for Tina. Great update. For a minute there, I thought they were going to have a romantic evening. Thanks for crushing my heart. LOL PPS
its really sad to hear about Tina dad but I hope this “making it right” does not fall on Tina’s shoulders as to that equaling living a “”Normal Straight life””.. her dad should be making it right just incase its his time to go!!
how frustrating for Bette and sad for Tina but not necessarily the end for her dad.
