    Author Notes:

    “I understood you moving away….” – Bette Porter.

    After I got home from the hospital I realised that I must have been operating on adrenaline for the past twenty four hours. Tiredness overtook me and what I intended to be a short nap turned into a five hour sleep. So deep that I didn’t hear the phone ring, even though it must have done as there was a message from Kit asking me to call her as she had heard about Shane’s accident and wanting to know if everything was alright.

    After listening to Kit’s message I wandered into the kitchen, my stomach reminding me that I couldn’t have eaten anything that hadn’t come out of a hospital vending machine for a while and that proper food was in fact necessary. I looked into the fridge to find some leftover Chinese takeout. It would have to do for now but I reminded myself that I would have to go to the supermarket on my was home from the hospital, or the gallery, depending on where I ended up.

    Even though I should know better, the healing properties of alcohol are called for, and I open a bottle of red wine. Savouring the first taste of the liquid on my tongue. I move my head from side to side, stretching my neck muscles, wondering why it hurts so much. Then I remember, catching some sleep in the hospital chair and then sleeping during the day is not a combination that I am used to.

    Once my food has been reheated I sit at the dining table thinking that after this I should call to check up on Shane and then I should really call Kit. Even though our relationship has been rocky, and to be honest the last year has been one of the rockiest periods that we’ve had, I know that she’ll be there for me when I need her. I think that this qualifies as a time that I will need her support.

    Then it hits me, Tina and Alice are back in LA. How could I have forgotten this? I check my watch and realise that they are probably at the hospital right now. I momentarily consider getting dressed properly and driving over there, getting our almost inevitable meeting over and done with at the first opportunity. Then I think that I actually have no idea about what I should say to either of them, especially Tina. What should my first words be to someone that, at one point my whole world revolved around, but I actually haven’t seen now for five years? There doesn’t seem to be an easy answer to this so I go back to eating my food and drinking my wine.

    1. I agree, Bette should have regrets, especially about how she should have put “all of this behind” her sooner. WTF? So, Bette is stuck in Regretland, making her blame herself for “all of this” and Tina is the saint? She was wronged so badly that she was able to start anew clear across the country and actually be happy? What bull crap. I’m tired of Tina being portrayed as the perpetual victim after all the shit she pulled for TWO seasons, people. Her true colors came out slowly and insidiously, portraying her to be a far meaner and loathsome character compared to Bette’s overbearing type-A personality. I don’t get it; I just don’t get all the Tina lovers (I’m not talking about Laurel Holloman who’s cool and hates her s3 character too) out there who still diligently condone her behavior and truly believe Bette deserves the hell she’s lived the last two years. I just don’t get it. This story has one of the most pitiful depictions of Bette I’ve ever read, which is sad since she’s the strongest character on the show.

    2. Hey DG, I looked like light at the end of that there tunnel, to me. Please make it so. Bette needs to lay it on the line with Tina and tell her exactly how she feels. Neither Tina nor Bette have really moved forward since they split. This has got to tell them that they belong together and with honesty, truth and time a new stronger relationship will develop. Love is a living entity that needs to be nourished and care for to grow strong. Please let the green finger show through and resurect this partnership again. You know you want it too. Please…. Your Loyal and grateful Fan.

    4. Both Bette and Tina will be facing their past. I can only wish that they both see that love in each other’s eyes and can begin to talk about their past sins. In my little world Bette and Tina belong together. I also am interested in whether Carmen will come to visit Shane.

    15. Looking forward to the reunion. Let’s just hope there’s no major drama other than what needs to happen (i.e. Bette and Alice’s talk).

    16. I´ve been waiting for this chapter *doing happy dance*. Excelent, as usual. Still no nails to bite :P. And pacing around waiting for the “reunion”.And I´m first! Again! YUJU

    17. “…but most of all how I should have put all of this behind me so much sooner than now.” Oh God…is this your way of trying to tell us something? Thanks!

    20. Really great chapter – I liked how Alice handled Bette and how even though cautious Bette started to open up to Alice. It’s time for Bette to move forward and I wonder what your version of that will be. Thanks for writing this story – it’s great.

    24. I like Ur characterisation, please let Tina and Bette reconcile but not get back together, Ally is pretty cool, and it would leave an independent storyarch for Bette too. Let’s see what’s in store for Shane. Love Ur fic

    29. oh poor bette, life has dealt her a harsh time but there is tina….who hopefully can make it betta? or not???? what have you got in store for us anxious readers?????
