You Got the Silver. – Chapter Six.
As Shane stood in front of Bette Porter for the first time
in three years, her mind flashed to the night this all began. Three years, six months and three nights ago
Shane received a phone call that had drastically altered her life and her
feelings towards the woman standing before her
Sitting outside of Cherie’s house had done nothing but gnaw
away my last grips on sanity–restless, hoping, and waiting for something that
would never come. At that moment I wanted
nothing more than to shut down. To shut
out the world and to close myself off from the pain that was slowly suffocating
me.
My nerves were shot and I was raw. I was positive that I had been ripped open
and left defenseless. I had never been
on a quest for happiness in my life. I
grew up in a world where I had learned being happy was for other people. My quest wasn’t to be happy, but to merely be
alive. I had seen and experience life at
an age far to young. While many were
comforted by their parents when they were afraid of the dark, I was thrust into
the very darkness they feared.
Alone.
My life had become a never-ending string of bad situations
and even worse choices on my part. I had
already learned to live without expectations.
I knew having expectations of any kind only led to disappointment and
disappointment was the death of us all.
People would betray, beat, lie and steal. They would eat at you until there was nothing
left if you gave them the chance. Trust
for me was almost impossible.
There were a few people that had slipped through my defenses
over the years–a handful of friends that had become my family. It happened
before I could stop it, but they had crawled through all of my barriers and
attached themselves to my heart. I swore
I wouldn’t let it happen again, but Cherie did the same thing. Instead of slipping through the cracks, she
simply crashed through my emotional walls at full speed.
Sitting outside of her house at
I resolved to walk away. I didn’t need
Cherie. I wasn’t weak. I didn’t need anyone. I knew, deep down, that this was a losing
battle and I was talking myself in circles just before I was going to hit the
ground. I was drowning and there wasn’t
anyone to pull me up.

damnit…..YES WE WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kill you? That my dear is an under statement. Drawn and quartered is more like it. Hope you post again today since I am away from my computer until next Monday. How am I going to survive until then? Have pity, please!!!
Rounding up the pose is more like it. Don’t do it…
Come on..you can’t do that to us. Post soon.
I love it passion, drama Tina and Bette driven to the edge, fabulous! Anxiously awaiting the next chapter…
Beaten, you will definately be beaten for this!! lol
you could always post the BT meeting and make everyone real happy!;p
Meh, don’t listen to ’em, morrison. This is fucking fantastic. Keep it comin’!
Well my dear, here in Texas, we hang cattle rustler and people that leaves you on the edge of cliff. We can send the Texas rangers after you. I would rather you just write another chapter tonight. Love this,but you can try to kill love,only if you kill the heart first and Tina seems alive and well. Thanks
I cannot believe you, I have a date tonight and I’m leaving like 5 minutes. Now that’s all I’m going to be thinking about! I just hope there will be one by the time I get back! Great story again!
Kill someone who not only appears to like but also encourages my inane ramblings? Hardly.
Unless, of course, you don’t continue. In which case death seems like, so to speak, overkill…but a good bit of pain might be warranted.
OH COME ON..I LIKe BEING TEASED BUT SHIT I WAS SO EXCITED TO READ WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO SAY.. IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE THAT SHANE IS SO PROTECTIVE OF TINA THAT’S ALOT OF PAIN TO DEAL WITH…PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE POST AGAIN TONIGHT..THANKS…..
yes we are…. so post and maybe we won’t… kill you that is
Kill you ? No but you kill me with this chapter. You write so well I can see all the scene. Thank you
C’mon! I can’t stand it!! Please post soon!!! Great stuff!
Aarrggh! You are driving me to drink! I won’t kill you because, then, the fic would stop coming. So I’ll just tear my hair, lash out at strangers in the subway, and just leave the lid of the toilet bowl up to bug my roommate.
Please post soon.
This i a well writen chapter, but it is still do not justify Shane’s actions. Firat of all if you do not believe in redemption, I don’t see how you can exis as a human being because as a human being we all make misstakes (Being that we are not perfect). Secondly thee are 2 sides in every relationship and if 2 people are in a serious relationship for a ;ength of time like B&T was there is more than one reason for straying. I found that to be a majior flauh in S1and S2 of TLW, they didn’t show ample reason for the Sette/Carpenter!ho affair. I mean theae are suppositly 2 very attractive women B&T that have been in a successful relationship for over 7 years and neither has strayed before then. And it is unreasonable to think that no one had tried to hit on either one of them during those 7 years. Now for some reason Candace is all of a sudden successful, there has to be a reason besides Bette just going Ape S**t. Eventhough Tina was severly hurt by the affair ( One of my main sticking points is that at least Tina did not find them in bed. This does not justify it, but at least Bette was respectful not to be messy with this situation.). Shane is being unreasonable to cast Bette away (or out of the garden) without allowing her a chance o rectify things with Tina. They may not get back together(an unbearable though for me), but they need closure. Shane is being like an over protedtive parents. You can not protect or shield your love ones from the pitfalls of life and still allow them to live it. Tina is a grown behind woman, let her handle her own bussiness (This does not include running away from her problems). Tina need to understand that she must learn to face her problems, not runaway from them. She oues herself and Bette at least that. Seven years should stand for something.
DAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMN Yous are killing us…But I love it…Please post soon. Can’t wait to see what happens..Please no violence we have had enough of that..They really do all love each other…
We will kill you if you dont come back here and give us more…you cant just leave us hanging like that
kill you? no. i will die because you left such a cliff hanger!! ahh!! so intense! please post soon?!
lol…this is great, keep it coming…and don’t fear anonymous computer threats
YOU ARE SO DEAD RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol post like right now!!!!!!!!!!!!
So….Shane saves Tina and Tina assimilates Shane’s detached playa attitude and habits.
Resistance must have been futile…
Yep………….you’re a dead woman Morrison!
Kill you? No way! Maybe a broken toe or two. Fingers will be left alone…needed for typing. btw, I agree with cpq…Shane needs to step back!
No, we won’t kill you. We will, however, hunt you down and slowly torture you the way you torture us.
Shane’s not a player. She has a player’s *reptuation*, but she’s not actually a player. Players don’t spend their time wishing they could fall in love with someone. Players are after sex, period. That’s why they’re players.
Boy oh boy, are you guys gonna hate one story I have in mind… *eg*
I do understand some of Shane’s emotion of wanting to protect Tina, FIRST season Tina wasn’t really able to stand for herself. However, that being said….quit toying with us and bring on the reunion.
I totally agree with your portrayal of Shane’s actions. I would do the same thing. Seven years or not..
WHERE IS MY GUN…FUCK THE GUN…WHERE IS MY CANNON…AIM FIRE!
I was just kidding, please post soon…if you don’t, I will open fire on you!
Darn it! You’ve got me on the edge of my seat here. Stop the teasing! Please continue this riveting fanfic.
Alright I’m on the way to your house right now, I going to beat another couple of chapters out of you. LMAO!!
“I refused to let Tina be hurt again. She had dealt with enough and I would physically stand in the way of anyone who dared to hurt her again.”
Yet, it is OK for her to teach Tina to not feel anything. To live her life just using other women. Right, that will help her to not feel pain. That is until Bette comes back, and her heart becomes alive again. Then she realizes what she has done over the last three years, and the pain will, at that point, be just as overwhelming as it was three years earlier. Again IMHO
IMHO… believe it or not, you (and a great many people) have Shane pegged completely wrong and pretty much have from the very beginning. Shane does not use women. At all. Yes, she sees quite a few women, that is very true. But she doesn’t use them. If anything, you know what? They use her. Yeah, you heard me right. They use her, to get what they want, which is usually almost always sex. But take a close look at Shane – really, really look, for once… she’s not constantly with new women, as a matter of fact there have been more instances of her seeing the same women more than once than of her with women on just a single occasion. The reason she never settled down with one at the time (especially during season 1), was because she was afraid to be hurt. So she saw several different women, but never got too close to them, knowing that she could fall for every last one of them like a ton of bricks. Shane knows how to love and she knows how to feel. It’s easy to look on the surface and see just a player there… look deeper than that, for once and see what’s underneath.
Yes we will kill you but its from love of this story and the way you left the last chapter.
…wtf! just getting into it and you end the chapter.plz post soon
AW, come on. You did not just leave us all hanging. Girl you’d better post soon. I like that three years and six months, talk about exact.
Thank the pizza was good!!! But you DID IT AGAIN!!! PLEASE POST SOON LOVE THIS STORY!!!
Aaah, I just discovered your story right now, reading everything from the beginning, and all I can say is : what an awful cliffhangers’ master you are !! Each time I said to myself “the next update will bring all answers”, bing here came an other waiting point ! Acurately cruel… but done with excellence and obvious joy, humm ?
Usually, I’m the most patient reader possible, but you succeed to make me drive crazy waiting for the first Bette & Tina exchange ! Aren’t you bad !! (lol)
So I give you at the same time a dig and a smile !
Thank you a LOT for this great new story anyway ! ^_^
Perhaps Tina will look at her and have…what is it that Shane is famous for…sex with no emotional strings…something like that…anyway, maybe Tina can have sex with her and then cast her off…would be interesting to see how Bette would recover from that…
Damn so good!
