Ever since Alice moved to New York we’ve been going to this bar, every Wednesday night for Cosmopolitans and, as Alice puts it, to check out the local talent. Tonight, however, is slightly different. Alice is in reflective mood and I’m trying to get used to the fact that my relationship with Ally is moving past the casual and into something more serious.
“When Ally moves into your apartment, will you still come out with me?” asks Alice, still in a maudlin mood, despite the fact that she is half way through her third drink,
“What makes you think that Ally is going to move into my apartment?”
“Well, you’re not going to move into hers are you? After all, you’ve made that mistake before.”
“Thanks Alice.”
“I’m sorry Tina, I didn’t mean to…”
“It’s OK. I know today’s been tough on you. She loved you, despite everything that happened with Lara, and I know you still miss her.”
“I’m still angry with her.”
I don’t say anything in reply to this. To be honest, mostly because I’m shocked that Alice could feel anger that deeply. When Alice first moved to New York, the day after Dana’s funeral, she was broken. I used to sit up with her, well into the night while she talked and talked about how she was certain that her chance at real love had gone and no amount of reassurance made any difference.
“You need to let go of that anger.” I say gently.
“I’m too scared to let go of it.”
“Why?”
“Because all of that hurt, and the anger, it’s kept me company for so long. If I let go of it now, all I’ll be is lonely.”
I reach over and take Alice’s hand as I know how that feels. Even my brief relationship with Helena wasn’t enough to take away all of the rage that I felt for Bette. Eventually it led me to moving to New York, away from everything that reminded me of my former life as one half of Bette and Tina. When Alice made that same move I knew that she was doing it for exactly the same reasons, sometimes it’s easier to run that it is to face up to the damage that we’ve experienced.

I am liking the story so far. waiting to see how this unfolds. I just don’t like the idea of Bette moping around about tina, cuz it looks like she has moved on. Post soon!
Please continue.
So Tina is moving on. Bette the player. Why do I feel that their live will once again be connected.
It’s a good story, but after reading it, I found I still couldn’t bear to see Tina’s in love with someone else. It’s so painful.
I am enjoying your story but still hoping for a Tina and Bette reconnection. Damn-it I am such a hopeless romantic where those two are concerned…
welllllllll, I have faith somehow either tina or Bette is going to walk through the door of whichever bar either one is stayin at, then they will slowly reconnect :) TIBETTE FOREVER!
If Bette doesn’t have a business trip to New York planned she needs to plan one immediately. I’m still loving this story and looking forward to the next chapter.
I order to be happy, one has to be willing to forgive; something that Tina has NEVER done in regards to Bette. So, I do NOT understand how she can so easily move on to another as though, as she put it, “the past is the past and that’s where it needs to stay.†Bette cheated; something she has NEVER been proud of; yet Tina has always acted like Bette wanted to intentionally hurt her. I do NOT like Tina and I hope that until she can reach inside of her soul and sincerely forgive; she will never find peace and be truly happy…..again.
I can tell you I won’t like Ally..even if she is nice. So how will you bring our two girls together? I can’t wait until the next post.
Tina in a healthy new relationship! Good start!
Too many people told me, Tina and Bette should be end up their relationship and move on. But, it’s still hard for me. At least, I can practice it first in your story. I am not telling you to get them back. It’s just kinda heartbroken moment. Love this story. Please go on.
i don’t like tina moving on and bette being all lonely…i hope you’ll bring them back together
I love your writing citygirl, but just wondering if your planning of getting b&t back together, or is this one, where the girls get on with their lives without each other? having the gang apart is different, but i will still be reading
I really love your story and the dual focus of your installments. Anxiously looking forward to more!
I’m still a Bette and Tina lover. Lets see how you get our girls to even see each other, thanks
Somebody stole what I wanted to say great story but too heartbreaking hearing Tina in love with somebody else. Hope Bette makes a visit too NY and they bang into each other and low and behold Tina relises that She is not over Ms Porter and never will be, so there. Long live Tibette
Liking your build up in this story – and I’m very intruiged to see where you’ll take it!
I like how Alice and Bette both were left ( in different ways) by the woman they loved most and neither has healed yet . but I also like how both Tina and Bette left the bar and am curious whether you will let Tina really move on – not that I want that but I am curious what you the author have in mind. Liking it quite a bit – the mood in the first chapter was awesome.
Good chapter and I agree with hansen and let see whats next, thanks!
heartbreaking story already and we’re only 2 chapters into it!! beautifully written. hope we get to see our 2 ladies together at some point though, even if they’re only friends.x.x.
This sounds like it could be a set-up for a Bette and Alice reunion. Sometimes people who are meant to be together aren’t meant to be together at the very beginning. Hey, it could happen. Having said that, I don’t want to see that. LOL As for Ally, it would be so much easier if she was nasty, but I think that would be way too easy.
Interesting role reversal, Tina is happy and has moved on, Bette is still in limbo, I like this so far, looking forward to how your story is going to unfold. Thank you.
I don’t belive that Tina has truly moved on, it will just take one look at Bette and she is a goner and that’s why she’s avoiding LA…..I hope I’m right :o)) Great story.
