I hardly slept at all last night. I just kept thinking that if I didn’t go to sleep then today would never come. Of course that kind of thinking gets you nowhere because today is here and there’s nothing that anyone can do about it. I made Ally get up early with me to go for a run, she complain sleepily that running was the last thing that she wanted to do but came along anyway. Right now she’s in the shower and I’m supposed to be getting ready, but as another delaying tactic I’ve decided that if I don’t get dressed then I won’t have to leave this room.
“I thought that you were going to get ready while I was in the shower?” comes the question from behind me.
“I’d rather stay here with you.” I reply, in a small voice.
“That’s sweet, but I didn’t buy a black suit for nothing.”
“You didn’t own a black suit before this week?” I say, turning around to look at Ally smiling at me.
“I’m sure that I have owned a black suit before, but no, I did really have to buy one yesterday. What did you think Alice and I were doing all day?”
“Drinking coffee at The Planet?” I ask, with a shrug of my shoulders.
“Well, we did do that, but not all day. I had to make sure that I wasn’t spotted by any of the family Porter.”
“You’re trying to make me laugh.”
“Is it working?”
“I don’t want to go.” I say, feeling the tears starting already.
“You mean you don’t want to see me in my new black suit?” says Ally, trying to sound offended.
“I’d rather see you out of it.” I reply, working hard at trying to keep the tone light.
“I’m sure that’s inappropriate behaviour for a day like today.” laughs Ally.
“Maybe, but don’t tell me the idea doesn’t appeal to you.”
“Oh, it appeals alright, but think about all the excuses you would have to make.”
“That’s true, trying to explain away my not showing at Shane’s funeral is the only thought that’s worse than going.”
“I’m sure the thought of going is worse than it’s actually going to be.” Ally says, coming closer to me, kissing me lightly on the lips and pulling me in for a hug.

I have notice that in most of the story where Tina is in love with someone else,Bette is the one whose loses out on love.CG i am to far into this story to stop reading now and I know my Tibette heart will be broken.
The funeral and everything leading up to it was sad enough, now that Tina is with Ally my poor TiBette heart will be broken to pieces. Thanks for a great story anyway.
gosh could they not have waited until after the service to talk about themselves? Tina is rather annoying and very self involved. I really don’t like how Bette is so “needy” for Tina. Why can’t she move forward? Even before Shane’s death she was still “woe is me” Her depressive mood and melancholy state agitates me and this was even before Shane’s death. I wish Tina would take her ass back to NY so she and Ally can go live happily ever after for all I care! She is no longer a source of comfort for Bette. When they do have thier talk I hope Ms.T recognizes her own behavior to the demise of their relationship prior to the affair. I suspect Bette will probably shoulder all the blame in that one as well. When you end this story, which will not be a TiBette reunion, please have Bette meet someone that really knocks her off her feet. Post soon!
you are doing an amazing job. like some others who have commented i also thought about how Carmen might’ve reacted, but since this is a b/t story, i dont mind not having her perspective. with regards to b/t being absorbed in their own affairs, i think it was apparent in each chapter; whether it was alice or shane’s perspective, b/t were prominent. but yes i did think of why bette would bring up the issue at this time. iam very curious about where you’ll take us now! please post soon!
BTW from my point of view B&T is not headed for the abyss just yet, I think there are several sighs that Tina can’t control her feelings toward Bette even if she wanted to; telling Bette she always will be beautiful to her, the jolt she felt when Bette called her T and Tina is slowly beginning to put Bette before herself….maybe I’m just seeing things that I really would like to see happen, who knows….Citygirl does LOL. Post soon please.
God this seems more and more like your going to not get B&T back together. Its getting harder to read because it looks like Tina is going to end up with Ally. But I just want to tell you your writing is wonderful. Very touching.
Beautiful.
tina is a dummy !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bette is great and should move on and let tina b e dummy
This story is so good, I like the pacing, it’ll be interesting when they finally talk and Tina can’t put it off any longer.
I just hope you don’t break our hearts…your writing is amazing and I so hope B & T work this out.
I just want both Bette and Tina to be happy, eighter together or with others. Let them be happy. thanks
Oh my God what are you doing to us? I read the first page & half and thought oh yes Bette & Tina are looking good, then my taxi (cab) came then I had too read the rest and well I am not happy thinking not looking good for Bette & Tina. But still loving and hoping Bette & Tina
Personally I like that Tina has a tough choice to make and Bette also can choose what is right for her in the present – the past is over. You have brought them together at a fragile time but that is how it happens sometimes – I love love love your writing. You right about grief so well I am in awe of your ability to communicate all the neediness and vulnerabilty that appears at that time.
Bette is right…Tina should have thought about it more.
OK, quoting S1Bette “I’m fucking dying out there!”(ok, in here)” You really are beraking my heart girl!! BUT I have a little hope when I read the part of the jolt of electricity of Bette calling Tina T, so come on girl, don’t let me down!! PLEASE!!!!
This isn’t looking like a Bette/Tina reunion to me. My poor breaking heart!
Oh my god, that was just amazing… you know, you made me cry during Bettes speech. It was such an awesome chapter, please continue soon. I was actually hoping that theres a chap from Carmens POV anytime, I kinda miss her…
Bette is my hero, Tina…is just bloody indecisive, or stupid, or both, or a game player maybe/probably in my considered opinion…ally did not need to be there…
Just curious….did anyone tell Carmen?
wow amazing
I dunno, Bette and Tina discussing each other at Shane’s funeral. How self-involved is that? Well, it’s what Shane wanted, them back together, right? Are Tina and Ally staying in LA? It would give Bette more support. As it is, I think you can turn B&T over, because they’re done. Amen. …BTW, has anyone heard of the Irish wake custom of having the body packed in ice and using said ice for cocktails? Is that a myth? I think Shane would have loved the idea – her last trip to The Planet. Drinks are on her! Ha ha ha! …okay, I’ll shut up now….Thanks!
*sigh* this is so unfair. Poor Bette.
Techgal, I am with you (yet again). Through this entire story I am troubled by the extent to which these two are involved in their own drama rather than Shane’s passing. I suppose it is natural, given their history and passions, but it still bothers me (I am not blaming the author for this, just the characters). Also, and sigh, Tina has emotionally moved on, clearly, so my interest is beginning to flag. Having Bette moan, weep and whine one-sidedly is making me think less of Bette. Egad! I better leave before (my conception of) Bette gets completely destroyed.
Tina reminds me of an old Jane Wyman/Rock Hudson movie, “Magnificent Obsession”. Jane is repeatedly told not to talk whenever she brings up an important topic. Same thing from Tina. See Tina. See Tina run. Run, Tina, run.
ewwww techgal thats nasty… City noone is as perfect as Ally I want to marry her as a matter of fact I think I’m in love with her. Not, she would drive me nuts all that perfection and all. I must tell you I am a major fan of the horror genre so if anytime you feel like making this a zombie story and bring Shane back I would not at all be angry. How in Gods name are you writing this story? Its difficult enough to read. Its making lastkids story look like a walk in the park.
it’s getting harder and harder to read because i can see where it’s going…to letting go…i just hope bette will be able to find someone to lean on as well…and why do i hate ally? she’s great but man, how i hate her (and she’s never be bette, that’s for sure)
I am with BetteAndTinaForever, it’s getting harder and harder to read. I just don’t like the way it goes now. Shane’s letter seem to mean nothing to Tina. *sigh* And I really don’t like Ally.. Man, this is killing me.
I am kinda beginning to love Ally, how r u gonna break her heart if this is a B & T reunion????? PLEASE DON’T BREAK HER HEART!!!!! And I maybe wrong, but I think Tina really does love Ally, at least I hope so.
I feel faint…I think it’s because I held my breath while I read that chapter. The writing is so good…I found myself tearing up at Bette’s words. Shane was Bette’s best friend, it’s a shame that Tina couldn’t be when they were together. Ally is so cooperative it’s making me nauseous. Please post soon and put the horse out of it’s misery cause we all know where you are headed with this….sigh… boo… hiss.
This is just so damn great….and sad!!!! I loved the last interaction between B&T, so honest. I’m still hoping for a B&T reunion!!!!
That was a sad chapter. You really are able to capture all that emotion in your writing City. Well.. a B&T re-union seems to be getting less likely… :(
Pleaseee……let this be a Tina/Bette reunion…….I mean, I like Ally and all, but….they’re meant to be together
Thank you for writing, I am waiting for the next.
Great writing!. The only thing that i missed there was Carmen..it was too much about B&T there and not about Shane’s funeral and her friends. I really miss Shane..sigh. Tina moved on..now is time for Bette to do the same. Post soon!
what do we want? a B AND T reunion…when do we want it? NOW!!!NUFF SAID.x.x.
No one can replace Bette, much less in Tina’s heart, so please put poor Ally out of her misery. B&T have that ever lasting love that distance & time cannot alter. NUFF SAID!
Another brilliant chapter mate, stunning writing.
This is so marvelous… and everytime you break my heart a little more…
i love bette. simple as that. she’s just so strong even when she’s weak. i hope she finds her happiness again!
You write really well. But I can’t accept Tina with Ally. You are doing a masterful job of easing us into the separation of B & T. But Ally is not Bette or Teddy Figueroa. Sorry…
Do straight people have this kind of drama? I honestly don’t remember. I’ve noticed a pattern on this site. Sunday seems to be “Break Lament’s Heart and Make Her Cry” day. I still like this story though because I like your writing. If the writing was bad I would’ve quit a long time ago.
i think ally being there is just cruel, she didn’t even really know shane, i think tina would have been just fine without her, and i really think your writing is so addictive and effective that you have us all, taking this story personally. great job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Why oh why must you make Ally so lovable CG? She’s freaking amazing.I’m picking Ally.Forget about my Tibette heart, i’ll read other fan fics for that. Ally is a wonderful girl.I don’t understand some readers opinions towards Tina indecisiveness, she has 2 great girls who love and adore her. It’s a difficult decision to make. But i really believe that in Tina’s heart, Bette will always be her first,last,forever.Both of them are self involved, so i wasn’t surprised that they were talking about themselves during the funeral. And why did Bette say it was cool for ally to be there, but then she changed her mind. Anyways the funeral is over. RIP shane. What’s next? Both have so much to say to eachother. I can’t wait to read what happens next! Wonderful job CG.
