    Author Notes:

    “Good-bye my love,” Bette whispered….

    Bette stared unseeing through the small window as the plane slowly rolled back away from the gate. It was time. Time to go…time to let go of what she no longer held…time to start the healing process, for both of them, so that maybe…just maybe, someday, they will both be able to love again.

    Laying her head back, Bette closed her eyes, wondering what Tina was doing right that moment. Who was she with? Was she okay? Was she thinking about her…did she even care about Bette anymore?

    God…the ache to feel her skin…to taste her lips was so overwhelming, Bette had to choke back a moan as her knuckles tightened their grip on the armrests of her coach seat…a cramped, tiny middle seat, way in the back of the plane…right where she felt she deserved to be. After what she did to Tina, to their lives, this is what she deserved at this moment, not her usual luxurious first class accommodations. And, as she tried to squeeze her shoulders closer together so as not to rest against the broad shoulders of the men on either side of her, she felt a strange comfort knowing that she was suffering from her betrayal to Tina just as much, if not more than Tina was. Some people might think that a little arrogant to feel that, but Bette knew how much she loved Tina…knew how much she loved living a life that valued, and paid respect to both their moral convictions. In time, Tina will be able to get over Bette’s betrayal…but Bette still had to live inside her own skin, knowing what she destroyed, every day for the rest of her life.

    "Good-bye my love," Bette whispered, ignoring the curious looks from the two men. "Thank you…"

     

     

     

    Tina’s fingers shook as she lightly ran them across the blue ink, spelling out her name on the textured cream colored envelope. Did she have the strength to read this? Did she even care enough to read what she knew was a letter from Bette? Who is she kidding? Of course she cared. No matter how much she fought it. No matter how much she wanted to hate Bette…she couldn’t. True love doesn’t switch on and off like that. Oh, there is most definitely anger…lots and lots of anger. And, there is physical pain, and deep wells of loneliness. There is embarrassment, and insecurity, defeatism, and plain old shock. But, through all of that, there is still love. It is hard to see, and even harder to feel sometimes, but it is always there. And, Tina knew without a doubt that it always would be.

    3. Noooooooooooo that cant be the END! I have just cried my ey’s out, we have too see them the way we all want to see them, happy and in Love. Make Tina go after her woman. Loved It

    8. Seahurst, your are such a powerful writer. The emotions your words elicit evoke the strongest reactions from your readers. You touch the hearts of us all. Thank you so much.

    9. This is wonderfully written. Does IC know how much we love Bette and Tina together? I fear that she has no clue and only the authors on this site know how to treat these two characters who have stolen so many hearts.

    10. Damn you IC damn you.Why cont you just leave Tina&Bette alone .NO you wanted a heartbreaking love well you got it.just 1 last word for you IC NO OTHER LOVE WILL EVER TAKE US THERE.Good Good job.so bettersweet sea

    12. No one should have to endure the type of pain that jumps out of this letter. Tina’s response to Bette’s betrayal was to banish her as though their 8 years together where non-existent. Through thick & thin, sick & sin, Bette was always Tina’s rock & right now, I have NO love for Tina.

    15. this is heartbreaking and flawless…just wonderful…i think you should wirte an epilogue: B&T reunion, after 2 days of reading and crying over bette’s letter tina couldn’t take it anymore and the lovers were reunited at last!!!

    16. This is so beautiful. Strange, just today I finished watching s1 over (for the millionth time, or so), so I guess it was fate you’d repost this today? This is so amazing, and it’s only for s1 Tina that it was meant… With that in mind, it’s perfect.

    17. Seahurst, that was beautiful, so very sad but beautifully written. You know two young ladies have created characters that they will always be associted with in some way throughout their lives. The characters are so in love, and by that union they have created a fictional love story that will always endure no matter how many other characters are created in movie land. Even if IC never puts them back together there will always be Bette and Tina and those two faces that we know so well will always be the ones we see when someone speaks of an everlasting love story. Thanks for your story, I wish it was longer. I’ve missed your writing.

    20. I haven’t actually read this yet but rather skimmed over it (I’m at work and don’t feel like bawling my eyes out lol). I noticed that Bette is moving to Ashville. I remember when I’d go to matchmaker type sites I tended to see a lot of profiles of gay people in Ashville. Needless to say it was a shocker to me to find that many gay people not too far from me in this hickass part of the U.S. Anyway I may come back and read this later and leave a real comment then.

    21. Beautifull and right from the heart… I don’t know how you always tend to amaze me seahurst, (I should be used to your intense writingstyle by now LOL) but the way you write is a true gift… Hope to read more of you soon!

    24. damn it seahurst — i’m sitting here crying my eyes out. why can’t we kidnap IC and leave you in charge of the show for say the next five years. that was just perfect — i shall print it out for when i need a good cry xx

    32. Sea, I just read this story, you need to continue it, It is like if it is meant to be, could be very touching and sweet. I know you have the words to make this story sing
