The first thing she felt was a mild disorientation, the kind that comes after waking from a nightmare. It had to be a nightmare…a horrible dream that she had finally escaped. The second thing she felt, as she struggled to open her swollen, cried-out eyes, was pain. First on her left cheek, next in her heart, and finally all over. As the realization hit her, she moaned in agony. Sitting up slowly, shielding her throbbing eyes from the harsh sun shining in through her bedroom window, Bette looked around and found herself alone.
It hadn’t been a nightmare. Tina was gone.
—————————–
The phone rang twice before the comforting voice that made Bette’s stomach suddenly turn flowed through the receiver. "Hello?"
She had lost her voice. She tried to say something, anything, but her words escaped her. What would she say anyway?
"Baby sister? Is that you?" Kit said softly on the other end. "Bette? What’s wrong honey?"
After a few more seconds of silence, Kit couldn’t handle it anymore.
"BETTE!"
"My life"
"What?"
"Tina"
"What is going on?"
Silence.
"Kit?"
Tears stung Kit’s eyes. Bette sounded hurt, scared, and heartbroken all at the same time. Something horrible had happened. "Yes Bette."
"Come over."
Then, Bette hung up.
———————————————–
The fierce squeak of a wet hand across a fogged mirror was the only noise that filled the bathroom. Bette sighed as she took in her appearance. Beneath swollen lids lay dry, red eyes. Her face was puffy and aged. She looked haggard; a shadow of the strong, controlled, together person she usually presented herself to be. Turning her head to the right, Bette brought a shaky hand up to the tooth-shaped bruises that danced across her cheeks, gingerly tracing it with her fingertips. It stung when she touched it, making her hiss. Out of instinct, her hand pulled away.
After a minute of staring at the mark in the mirror, Bette brought her index finger back up to it. Tracing it again, she moved around and around until the found the most tender spot. After finding the spot, Bette pressed against it. She pressed harder and harder and harder until she felt as if her finger would go right through her cheek and into her mouth. It stung like a bitch, but she deserved it.

This is heartbreaking…..I love it though!!!
WOW for a newbe 6 pages is alot but i have to say 6 excellent pages, yes this is very sad, hell its heartbreaking but as with some other stories on this site youve really filled in the blanks, please keep it coming thanks really enjoyed it …well in a morbid way..lol
“It hadn’t been a nightmare….Tina was gone.”… Manda, wow, great first chapter!
I agree with B. This is really well written and I am looking forward to see where you plan to take if from here. Great Job!!
I agree with everyone, please keep going. This is good. I am a relatively new fan myself. I viewed season 2 episode 1 in syndication and then rented all of season 1. I was finally able to see all of season 2 a few months ago. I thank you for exploring this time “in between”. I wondered how did they get from the final episode of season 1 to the beginning of season 2. Particularly in season two when Bette said she had not tried to contact Tina because she wanted to be able to do what Tina asked of her. Did Tina actually want to get back with Bette back sooner, but Bette stayed with Candace until she realized her “mistake”? How did she approach Candace with continuing their relationship? Was the relationship actually six months long? I am a Tibetter from Betteville and I hated to see Bette suffer, but I guess this may be why Tina took it to her in season 2. I would love to hear your take on the “silent” months. Please keep going.
it’s really good, but i have to tell you, i hate drama LOL…very good though, because a lot of this was missing between s1 and s2
I’ve read a few fics that explored what happened after S1, but this is the truest I’ve seen in terms of what we would have watched if IC had chosen to show what happened within those first 24-48 hours after the finale. Most of the time I was wiping away stray tears but I did catch myself giggle over the suggestion that Tina smoke a joint to calm down. And of course Dana being her usual self is generally comical. I vote that you stick with this. Also, don’t worry if people get pissy because you didn’t go for fluffy bunny cute B&T. While I personally enjoy something light more often than not, it’s the darker side of B&T that make me think a little bit more.
The story is absolutely necessary. You’re right. There’re few scenes in the show to say how hard Bette tried to get Tina back. She just suddenly went back to normal life. I don’t think Bette would give up so easily. Please continue.
i am at a loss for words…..i love drama and this is full of it……continue soon…..

This is very well written…looking forward to the next chapter.
Wow! Great chapter, your voice mirror those of TLW. Looking forward to see where you take this story. I love that Kit came to Bette’s side — that shows how they were able to reconnect and illustrate the new found bond they had in S2.
Great start! And don’t feel like you have to apoligize for writing a story that starts post season 1. I enjoy these more than BnT beginnings. Please write more.
This is good and please continue, thanks!
