“It won’t make any difference how many times you look at you watch, that won’t make the time pass any faster.” say Alice, laughing slightly.
“Thanks Alice, but that’s really not helping.”
“How long do you think it takes?”
“How long do I think what takes?” I say, feeling a little exasperated.
“To tell someone that you’re still in love with them, or not, as the case maybe.” grins Alice.
I look at Alice blankly, and as much as I’m trying to put it out of my mind I know that is exactly what could be happening right now. Tina really could be telling Bette that she still loves her and wants to stay here in LA with her. I don’t know what I’m going to do if that is the case. I guess I’ll just have to go back to New York and nurse my wounds.
Tina left this morning and has been gone, well into the afternoon, talking to Bette. Doing something that I wanted her to do. How crazy must I have been to think that this was a good idea? Pushing them together when emotions are already running high from Shane’s funeral just two days earlier.
“What do you think that she’s going to do?” I ask Alice, even though she’s not assisting me with any of my doubts.
“Knowing Bette and Tina they’ll talk about everything that they shouldn’t be talking about for at least the first ten minutes, then they might get on to something a bit more substantial.”
“But what do you think Tina’s going to say to her?” I ask, almost pleading with Alice, now.
“I want to tell you that Tina’s going to walk in here and tell you that she’s going to get on that plane with you tomorrow and never look back, but something tells me that it’s not going to be that simple. There’s also something saying that her and Bette were great together and maybe, with the way that they left it, they could be willing to give it another go.”
“You liked it when they were together?”
“I used to tell them how much it would suck if they ever split up, and it did for a long time. Then Tina moved away, and I followed her. It seemed like they weren’t ever destined to be together after that, but now that they’re talking again, that they’ve spent this time together. I don’t know Ally.” replies Alice, shaking her head.

i just wanna thank u for ur writing!!! even tho i’m still so sad for bette =( lol u hav a lot of guts to write what this crowd, as it seems, doesn’t want! hahaha it’s all good, u just keep doing your thing! you’re a great writer! =)
My Tibette heart can’t accept that…Why do I keep coming back here? Because your writting is to damn good. Great job.
I hope this is in no way an ending, there are lot issues to resolve. Is possible that after all there my be a twist in the end?? Nevertheless i love your writing. I know that you have a lot of materials to continous with this story.
citygirl, you’re a Brit, aren’t you? Can you teach Jobadge that there are only 4 letters in 4 letter words? Anyway, I think this is the grown up way things go and you did not ruin my morning. (Others are respnsible for that). It would be nice if you could get Bette something nice to concentrate on. Alice, too. But maybe not each other.
So um…yeah. *sniff, blow, cough* It’s interesting. Ally’s thinking, “I got the girl.” Not in a nyah nyah nyah hahaha kinda way, mind you, but she’s still thinking it. HOWEVER, that’s only while on this earth. After life is over, eh, I don’t see Ally and Tina running through fields of flowers or anything like that. It’ll be Tina and Bette. Oh don’t look at me like that! Rose ended up with Jack at the very end of “Titanic!”
Ok. I’m the reader that posted the lyrics yesterday for “In Spite Of All The Damage” by The Be Good Tanyas. Now, in your author’s notes you wrote that you’ve been listening to this CD for the last 3 weeks. Well, no wonder your perspective is all effed up. That CD is too melancholy. You needed to be listening to “No Other Love” or “Up In The Room” from Pilot sex scene not that depressing stuff. CG, how are you going to give Bette some happiness? Start listening to some happy kick ass music and get your swerve back. LOL. Great writing as usual.
Lamentamini….Rose and Jack did wind up w/each other BUT The Titanic sunk!
I have this urge to vomit….sigh
You’re killing me!! I like the Ally/Tina relationship but I still can’t help wanting B&T to get it together in the end and live happily ever after. Time for Bette to get her ass in gear and sweep Tina off her feet. Goooooooo Bette!!
ok… so they go back to the hotel, everything is going well and then at the point of no return tina cries out for… bette!!! now that’s a story babe.x.x.
I was crying too. Ok, it seems that tina came to LA is not for bette is for saying goodbye to bette. I don’t like this tina, she is so selfish. Ally can have her. move on Bette.
At first, thank you SO much, Lamentamini, for fueling my never-changing-until-the-very-end hope : yes indeed, Rose ended up with Jack at the very end of Titanic! A big grateful hug for you, my fellow Tibetter reader : bringing this way my favorite actress – and biggest crush ever, I confess – in the picture, you saved me from total engulfing after such a bitter chapter ! ^_^ *** God, god, god, Citygirl, you really don’t make things easy for such a determined believer in B&T’s ultimate reunion like me !! But I don’t care. I’ll stay as stubborn as our stunning alpha brunette (well, at least the one who would have fight for her T…) : I’ll be the hope-in-B&T-happy-ending torch-bearer ! *** Ally, Ally, you’re a very kind girl and I like you BUT please open your eyes : you have to realize that you will always be Tina’s secure choice and nothing else. She loves you ? Well, perhaps, but so far of how deeply and unreasonably she loved Bette, that’s obvious to everyone here. Don’t you deserve someone who would fully love you, without sharing her heart’s secret thoughts with a persistent old flame ? *** I KEEP HOPING, I STILL DREAMING, I MORE THAN EVER CROSSING FINGERS AND TOES. That’s how much I’m a fool ? So, I’m proud to be ! *** Few last words to my dearest Bette : please don’t give up, show us how you can still have in you this powerful tenacity we all adore in you. Go, Bette, go !
Citygirl – first, Thank you very much for writing and sharing your story. Yes, it hurts all the TiBette hearts, but it’s your story and it is written very well. Thank you. After reading this post, I feel sorry for Ally. The fact that she does not feel overwhelming happiness that Tina “chose” her, tells me that Ally will always feel like the second best and will always question Tina’s love for her; knowing that Tina simply gave up on Bette and did not truly say “goodbye” to Bette. Does that make sense? In spite of all the hurt, I always hope for happiness for Bette, Tina, Alice and now, Ally. Second best sucks! ***smiles – thank you***
look i know this is your story…but i just don’t buy it, ally and tina…i’m waiting for the wicked little twist..cuz i just have this feeling…
I’m scared to read. Could someone PM me if this is safe to read at work? I don’t want to run to the bathroom to bawl my eyes out. I don’t need details, just a yes or a no.
I hate Ally. Wish she would have stayed in NY. Lamentamini…keep your heart safe…read much later.
I’m with lamentamini! couldn’t you just put in the subject line if it is time for betina fans to read again? this is breaking my heart. please, please, please let bette go to new york this time and get her tina back. please!
Lamentamini, NO, it is not safe to read at work or at any speed. Your TiBette heart will break into a thousand pieces. Although I knew this is what would happen, there was that sliver of hope that said they would get back together. I am an optomist, so I hoping in the future that Tina will come back. THEY BELONG TOGETHER.
“even though I knew that I was saying goodbye to her in my heart” – I think those few words have just broken my Tibette heart! Is there no hope?
PS….Citygirl..I do love your writing even if it doesn’t go the way I want.
well, my morning is ruined, i can tell you that, i know it was stupid to hope that somehow in the end the miracle would happen and B&T would end up together…i can’t believe i read this whole story, knowing how it will end, but i guess i was going by your first story…why can’t bette fight for her? oh, damn…it’s your story that is written and my heart that is broken
I find it odd, that those of us that so despirately want B&T together, read these stoies with such hope for them. In the end, the author, like IC, has control over the destiny of our favorite couple. In every case, like in real life, with every breakup, one heart lives and one dies. In this case, hope could come with the stroke of a pen.
touching, tender hand heartfelt…….lets get Bette’s POV now.
Well, I like Bette and Tina BUT Ally is…good. She and Tina? Well I kinda like it! Don’t get me wrong. I am a TiBette fan to the death, but I like the story a lot!!
4 got then the Tina and Ally loving.
i hate tina..
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK.
Tina – you’re hurting people. This chapter was bittersweet (way more bitter than sweet:) your writing continues to compel – it’s lovely.
I read the story but don’t comment. Now, I was wondering what it is like for you as an author to write a story that brings happiness to only a small percentage of your readers? Your writing is really good, that is not it, but the outcome is breaking everyone’s hearts but a very few, so I was just wondering how that makes you feel?
thankyou for your beautiful writing….but WHY, WHY WHY oh, why….my heart is breaking into a thousand pieces never to be put together again like your tibette…oh pls make bette be happy, pls don’t stop this story here, continue it to the LA years and make her happy, pls pls pls oh god pls….
i keep reading this story even though it looks like tina and bette will go their separate ways for good. my tibette heart is breaking. why do i keep torturing myself? i’m holding on to the glimmer of hope that there may be a twist in the end. even when it is quite blatant how it will end. am i deluding myself? citygirl, this story continues to draw me. i wont give up reading til the very last chapter! i’d respect whichever way you have chosen to end it. i just wish you’ll end my misery soon ;)
Doesn’t the song ‘in spite of all the damage’ have the people get back together? Maybe at the hotel Ally will realize she really can’t compete with the destiny of B&T? Wonderful as always.
Oh god!… My heart is breaking :'(
Damn you girl!!!! I’m crying my eyes out here!! You’re totally breaking my heart here… I’m with Dalloway here, let’s get Bette go to NY and get Tina back… Or you could turn Ally into a freking psycho or something like that… come on girl!!
there is nothing like a good story, right ladies? so here we sit teary-eyed and still read. belying the outcome the entire story is so damn reasonable. no hysterics, no screaming or backbiting, just calm introspection. Tina said it many chapters back…she and Bette would always be analyzing the relationship instead of living it..Tina couldn’t do that.my deduction is that she FINALLY decided how she wanted to live and chose the appropriate partner.now unless citgirl decides to have the plane crash returning to NY with a certain survivor my sense is that all her cards are now on the table.exquisitely delivered… thank you. sue
Another Wonderful chapter CG. Sad yes, but great reading. I want you to write you’re stories,as you imagined it,even if it ends up breaking hearts. Write your stories!
I love Chinatown by the Be Good Tanyas. Ally is a real good egg and I like her and Tina together. I feel for Bette, I really do, but sometimes it’s the right time to move on and then who knows what the future holds.
Why do I torture myself…could it be your writing? Do you plan on Bette ever finding any happiness? I can’t believe this…please make Ally go away. Bette and Tina belong together!!!!
Time moves on, people do move on, love hurts, its part of life’s cycle, Tina and Bette, IMO will always have love for each other but they are not the people they were 5 years ago, they have changed, its time for them now to start making their future with different partners and moving on with their lifes. Citygirl your story may not end the way everyone wants it to end but you know we can’t always get what we want.. Thank you for for sharing your story.
Now, now, folks, there’s still time for A&T to go back to the hotel for some reunion lovin’. There’s still time for Ally to have a tragic coronary occulsion while en flagrante delicto! Yes, ladies, we have a death pool tifecta! Three lovely ladies on high, strumming their harps as Bette and Tina sail down the sea of love. Hark, the angels Dana, Shane and Ally sing, glory to the re-bound thing!!!!!!!
Be careful what you wish for, Ally. Now she’s ALL YOURS. Good luck!
We do need TiBette petition in this story. :'(
Ally will always know she is second best (or possibly third of fourth. Tina will never love Ally like she loves Bette. Never. I mean, c’mon – what can you make of it Tially? Allina? Poopy shit and Raspberries CG!
