Labyrinth Revisited Ch. 23
Previously…
Tina clicks off the phone
and focuses all of her attention on the rest of the drive to the house. She
arrives and sees the Saab in the driveway. Tina pulls in behind Bette’s car and
glances at her watch and sees that it’s been almost an hour since she last
spoke with Bette. She lost all track of time talking to Alice prior to leaving
the parking garage. She climbs out of the car, walks up to the front door and,
out of habit, uses her key to unlock the door. She scans the room and sees the
remnants of the smashed cordless phone still on the living room floor from
Bette’s outburst earlier that morning. She sighs, walks over to what’s left of
the phone and picks it up to throw it away. Along the way, she can see that the
message light on the answering machine is blinking. She presses the play button
and hears the few messages that she left throughout the afternoon for Bette
after her visit to Tina’s work. Other than Bette’s keys on the dining room
table, there’s no other sign that Bette’s been home.
Tina walks passed the
bathroom door that’s ajar, peeks inside and doesn’t see Bette there. She rounds
the corner, walks into the bedroom and sees Bette sprawled out on the bed. Tina
walks over to Bette’s side of the bed and hovers over her.
The longer she stood there
looking down at the sleeping form on the bed, the more irked she becomes. Tina
didn’t know with which to be more annoyed – that Bette didn’t bother checking
the messages – which were all from Tina, the fact that she left the phone mess
on the living room floor – which Tina had to clean up, or that she was sleeping
when she was supposed to be waiting for Tina so they could work through their
issues. Bette looked so peaceful, so innocent, so beautiful, but it pained Tina
to think that Bette was not at all worried that Tina was late getting to the
house. She received no phone call of concern from Bette to check her
whereabouts when she didn’t make an appearance after an hour had lapsed. In
fact, Tina was distressed that Bette might be upset that Tina was late and she
would be the one apologizing to Bette for her tardiness. Instead she finds a
much-relaxed Bette in bed.

This is the moment when Bette has to be totally and completely honest with Tina. What Bette says may further hurt Tina, but it will be the truth. And overall, Tina will know that Bette is speaking the truth. Love hurts especially when there’s been a betrayal. Please continue.
Great chapter. Looking forward to the next one.
love you take on this… please continue..
They definitly needed this talk and then some if anything is going to change from where they are at right now. I am looking forward to the conversation between the two and hope they can work it out.
Damn this is so good and please post soon, can’t wait to see what’s next, thanks!
Great chapter, keep them talking. Please post soon
Great chapter but please make them work it out
I am just not a fan of Tina. I like her beacuse she’s adored by Bette, but not on her own merit. Tina didn’t have to pick up the phone or listen to the messages, didn’t she move out of the house? Those messages should have been for Bette and the phone was her mess to clean up. If Bette just wants Tina as someone to pick up after her them Tina is the enabler. Get a grip lady and deal with the real issues you have with Bette, not this side crap.
Yeh please keep them talking. I’d love for the to work it out. Please post again soon.
Ok didn’t expect this to happen I thought they were trying to work things out! I hope they keep talking and get past it. Please post soon!
I’m stunned. ‘She let me be me’…that’s possibly really hard for Bette to say and even harder for Tina to hear. Please save them
i hope they will work it out because tina is acting weird…first she runs after bette and shows her affectons in front of everybody and then she comes home and b**** about bette falling asleep
Your right, this conversation isn’t going to be easy at all, but you did a great job with this first part. Thanks!
