    Author Notes:

    Bette stands up to Tina but is it for the better good ?

    Tina: I stay in the same position, my head leaning against the door and my hands placed palm down against the door. I called out to Bette several times. I have banged on the door but she will not unlock it. I slowly push myself off the door and resign myself to the fact that Bette will not open the door.

    Bette: The full anguish and sadness of my situation are upon me. I push my face into the pillow to stifle the noise and the tears. I do not want Tina to hear. I can hear her calling me, pleading with me to come out. I cannot, I cannot face her. I feel like such an idiot. I’m looking for wedding rings and she is having some internet screw with a bloke. I wish I hadn’t thought that and I roll face down and push the pillow into my face at the same time I push my face into the pillow. I scream and prey that Tina does not hear it, hoping it is muffled by the pillow. I hear Tina move away from the door. I sit up and swing my legs around the side of the bed and blow my nose. I look in the mirror. “Christ” I say to myself as I see red rimmed puffy eyes and I try to breathe through a nose that is all blocked, despite having just blown it. Suddenly I feel captive to the bedroom and resent it. Why should I be the one confined to the bedroom? I have done no wrong. I undress and lay on my side. I pull the covers up to my waist. I look at the blank wall and wish I had a window. I close my eyes and remember the times I lay awake after Tina and I split up last time and looked out of the window at the LA lights or the magnificent European architecture. I think about the time Tina asked me if I was lonely when she saw me looking out. I wonder if she cares anymore if I am lonely? I remember the stars and the sunsets and the sunrises and the faceless and nameless fucks. I remember the scant postcards I sent Tina. Am I about to do it all again I wonder? I open my eyes and scurry out of the bed to the paintings and drawings I bought home. I take the lid off in the dark and then reach back to switch on the bedside lamp. I reach in and pull out the replica painting. I know instantly which one it is, I do not have to look through the rolled up paintings to find. I unroll it on the bed and sit cross legged in front of it. I run my hand over it. It is a painting Janice selected for me but I would have chosen it for myself. Janice and I had a long spirited debate about the painting. I smile at the memory. The smile does not last long. I run my finger over it. I remember we debated the themes in the painting and who painted it. I am still struck by the naked blonde but my attention drifts to the others three figures. Janice and I were agreed on one thing, the figure to the right represented death. We had debated the significance of the three figures that Janice says was four and the importance of the numbers at the time the painting was painted in 1510. I read out the title: The Three Stages of Life, with Death, Strange Quartet. My attention is drawn to the small child on the left. I remember how vehemently I was convinced the red object in front of the child was an apple and the connection to the Garden of Eden and Man’s loss of innocence. Janice thought it was just a toy, perhaps a red ball. I argued why have two toys in the painting. Janice argues that the hobby horse was more than just a toy, depending on who was viewing the painting would depend on the importance of the hobby horse. Whatever I thought then I am not so sure now. Always a matter of perspective. The one thing we agreed on, was whether it was a ball or an apple, sooner of later the child would pick the object up. I admired the central character, pale she was but nonetheless a Godess. Janice snubbed me and thought she was nothing more than a self absorbed young woman. I look towards the hour glass. “Is this us Tina?” I ask myself. Just going through the motions? Has time run out for us? I shift my attention to the figure that represents death and wonder if this is where we are? Is this the death of our relationship? I look hard at the painting for any trace of salvation. There is none.

    2. Don’t do this.. you’re breaking my heart, please let this be a bad dream or something.. I cannot believe Bette would ask Tina to get out and leave those 2 girls, just no way.

    6. I’ve got to agree with the other comments. Sinking to the depths of whatever it is the visionaries (and I use that term loosely) who run the show have taken the characters, especially Tina, doesn’t do much for our already battered hearts. This was a good story, I hope it turns around again soon.

    7. I love this story, yes it has kind of skidded off in a different direction than where I thought but it’s a great story…I think that as an audience ff/tv we are getting overwhelmed by the terrible turn S3 is taking. It seems that each week just when we hope it will get better it doesn’t and actually gets worse…hard to imagine after E9..Unfortunately there are quite a few stories that are taking a chunck from S3 and running with it, yes most are very well written, but still that seems to be what we are being fed as of course art immitates life??? Unbeknown, this is a story worth reading, pls don’t let our depression get you down enough to stop writing…I fear that we have seen too many authors not finish great stories, this must be just as hard to write as it is to read the only difference is that you know the ending…pls just post often to allow us to get thru this digestion…pls post soon…

    9. I like the story, I think its great. Both Bette and Tina are heading the wrong way with this, but I do understand our animal instincts make us act foolish sometimes. I do have faith in you and hopefully both turn out ok in the end even if its with out them together. Please post soon.

    11. Well, in some sense, I like to see them fighting. When they have problems, fighting is much better than pretending polite and restrain their feelings. After fighting, they could be more open to one another. Tina, hang on. You did something wrong. So you should be the one who break the ice. Bette, well, let’s see how long you could insist. ;) Great chapter!

    12. From my personal experiences, a little, what you’d refer to as violence, is good for a relationship. Only I don’t see it as violence, sometimes when 2 people cannot communicate with words, getting a little physical helps to break down those walls. And I guess almost everyone is getting upset or are already upset about B & T, cause there are not as many posts from the various authors on the site anymore…..everyones disgusted and heart broken.

    13. OK, yes, another story depicting violence, so this time I’ll say it sooner rather than later: As one should not confuse the actor with the role, neither does an author depicting violence mean they are condoning it. C’mon folk, it’s been the rare version of these two where they’ve handled things like mature, self-restrained adults. Why so shocked now? Intense? Yes. Unpleasant? Yes. It’s fiction and we have it so we can explore these things in safety.

    14. I’ve always thought that you’ve put out a consistently well written story with many twists and turns. I’m sure this is just one more. Sometimes this format lends itself to conlusion jumping and quick judgment. I’m sure there are lots of loyal readers who are willing to wait (hopefully not too long) to see how this drama plays out. Thanks for writing. Keep the faith………

    15. Bette is so hurt, angry and frustrated that she doesn’t know how to respond to Tina. She’s tried the kind, gentle way and Tina stomped all over her and humiliated her and their relationship by sleeping with a guy in their home and Bette’s bed. So, Bette is lashing out. I don’t find that so unbelievable.

    16. I think this has merit. Sometimes, one’s anger just drives one to do violent things. Bette kicking Tina out, now I wish she’d do that on the show. Be firm Bette, make Tina make a choice.

    17. this is all so wrong…how did the romantic journey turned into a nightmare? i don’t even know where you’re taking them anymore…oh well, i guess i have to be patient…with s3 patience is not my forte anymore

    18. well…i’m about 3 years late with my question but… WHERE did Janice come from? how did she happen to show up with Kit at that hour? why i’m nitpicking 3 years later, i don’t know– i’ve just discovered your stuff… and have been on an ‘Unbeknown’ marathon for 3 days!

    19. i know you may be frustrated with the way the show is going but please don’t make bette turn out to be some kind of bad person coz i really can’t see her throwing tina out of their house.. even if it means she is sticking up to herself.. i think bette should leave tina in a way that an alpha person does.. with dignity and class..

    20. one more thing, people seems to know better than you how you should write your story, they’re wrong, your reflection belongs to another level, you are the genius here. Post soon s’il te plait, merci ;-)

    21. unbeknown, the emotional dimension of your story raises the passion of your readers up. You’re an incredible “passion raiser” !! I love your story and the way you write it. thank you ;-)Merciii

    22. Hey UnB,While I appreciate that this storyline is driven from Season 3, I still want to see Bette and Tina get through this together and return to their lovefest. There are little flecks of hope among all of the hurt and heartache in this chapter. Bette needs to open up more to Tina and listen to what she has to say. Tina needs to be strong and resilient and keep fighting for her lover. Gut wretching stuff. Please write more soon and return a sense of harmony to these turbluent times. Your Loyal Fan.

    23. Sometimes relationships have to hit bottom for those in it to work through. I don’t think anyone needs to leave. In truth, they both need to go kickboxing together and get the aggression they have towards one another, and guilt they have in themselves, out. They are not lost yet, maybe on opposite sides of the forrest right now, but not lost. Please post soon.

    24. This is so wrong. Tina will get the kids they belong to her,Bette is not going to win this one. No more violence we have had enough. thank goodness Bette didn’t hit Tina thanks

    25. They’ll work it out…I don’t know how but they will. Although two days won’t fix everything, let’s hope they make good use of the time. I trust where you’re taking the characters, Unbeknown.

    26. i really hope they find the way to be available to talk and they don`t figth, they love eache other and they have a family and a newborn child they need to find the rigth way.

    27. i used to love the story..what happened? violence doesn’t solve anything. i cannot stand the idea of 2 human beings having a go at each other…..the adults can fight but pls leave the 2 innocent girls alone
