Tina laid in bed wondering what time it was. She knew that it must be daytime because the light was strong against her closed eyes. She turned over in bed, hoping to go back to sleep, the fact that it was way past a time that she should have been up and showered, ready for work not even bothering her. She thought back to yesterday morning, waking up with Sara in her bed, and then their conversation. It brought back some painful memories of how she had let Angelica go, the only thing that gave Tina comfort was knowing that her daughter was with someone that loved her very much.
Tina had spent the rest of the day moving between the couch and her bed. When the bottle of vodka had been drunk she decided to venture out to the liquor store that was just down the street. The evening light reminding her of how much of the day that she had missed out on. She considered going back to the bar, where she knew that Sara would be, but blew that off as an incredibly bad idea. They would meet up again soon enough, on a night where Tina could no longer resist the lure of getting drunk in a badly lit bar, but for today she was happy to stay at home, with only a bottle and snacks that she could pick up at the store.
The short walk home reminded her of how glad she was that she no longer lived in Los Angeles. There were still plenty of things that she missed and people that she wished that she could see again, but nothing could replace the sense of making something new of herself. Now if she could only put the bottle down and start grasping that life again then she would be strong enough to get the person who meant the most to her back in her life. Tina felt the tears start to fall as she thought about Angelica, she missed her so much, but Tina had made a choice and now she had to live with it. At least for the time being.
After Tina had got back home she reached for a new glass. A new glass for a new bottle of whiskey. Tina couldn’t even remember when she had developed a taste for the brown liquid that now slipped down her throat, burning as it went down. She drank until she couldn’t feel her own pain anymore. An anaesthetic to every scar that she had gained in life. There was a tiny voice in the back of her mind that told her that this wasn’t the answer, just like Sara had told her the night before, but it was too good to put down. Too good not to swallow.

I hold a breath each time I read a post, and for the first time…..is that light at the end of the tunnel?? Pls let there be light!!! This is believeable on all levels, Bette having Angelica, Tina being in the ditch of life and Helena waiting in the wings to help. Pls get Tina some help even if she doesn’t end up back w/Bette, she needs to be a part of Angelica’s life. That seperation is a burden on her child that is not fair, she must put Angle ahead of her own addictions, try Tina pls try. Thanks girl!!!
citygirl, As much as I can’t really stand for Tina at times, this is a really sad and depressing story. Please get her some help. Angelica needs her. Post soon!
the story is great and if you are familiar with my work at all would know that i am definitely in the TiBette reunion camp- but, you lead the way.
my only membership is to the tibette club! SAVE TIBETTE!!!
I think we all need to see Bette and Tina together again. Angie needs two parents thanks
Remember the 30 years from now comment? Together, another child, painting and organic gardening in the country… hmmmmmmmmmm I wonder if they should be together or not!? :o)Oh right, we covered that already didn’t we? I can only hope that work goes well for you until you make your decision concerning the outcome of this story….
TiBette forever!!! I will say that you and Jobadge are going to kill us die hard Bette and Tina fans. Now if Lastkid comes back (wish she would) we would be put over the edge. Thank you for your brilliant writing…
I think it might be funny, in a sick way, if Helena really did send Bette instead… Tina’s expecting Helena, opens the door, and whoops! There’s Bette! I’d actually like to hear more about where Bette is in all of this, more of her thoughts, though it was nice to hear that little bit from Helena. Anyway, it still is rather painful and hard to read, but the light at the end of the tunnel seems to have appeared, and I’m looking forward to seeing where this is going!
(Ps, for the record, I hope B&T end up together)
Well, someone needs to be there for Tina, to pick her up so that she can pick herself up in turn, I suppose. Nice one, citygirl. Post soon, cheers
Excellent writing Citygirl75! Yes! Tina is finally willing to let someone try to help her. Please let T stop drinking …Angelica and Bette need her just as badly as she needs them. Your writing is so well done!
Excellent writing, cg. Oh, who minds a case of Schecterism, if it means you’re going to be writing for a little while longer? Love it.
ANother heartbreaking chapter CG. Tina is a bonafide Low Life. I wish she’d get it together for her baby’s sake. I’m having a hard time even understanding why she’s in this shape. She loves Bette,Yet she does nothing about it. She misses her baby,yet she does nothing about that. I hope Helena helps her out. This is the one time, where I’ll be happy to read Helena in a fic.PPS. Please be kind to the Tina lovers.LOL
Finally Tina let someone help her and hope Helena will help Tina get back on her feets soon and get her life back and go see Bette and Angel. Ok post soon please, thanks!
you better get B&T back together or you’ll break my heart again….it’s interesting to see how tina got to the place she’s in right now
Well the first step to getting better is wanting to. I’m not sure about Tina, but I bet Laurel Holloman cleans up pretty good, as they say in these parts. But in accepting Helena’s offer, there is some reason to hope for Tina.
great just great the way u r writing Tina, pls let Hel get T on her feet and back in Bette’s arms and Angelica’s life…PPS i am so hanging out…
I am loving how your story moves around in time, at first I was confused but now I like the flow. Can’t wait to discover what has brought T to her low and how she will recover and who will be there when she does.
Interesting position Helena has in both of their lives. I’m glad she is going to help Tina, but I’m secretly hoping she’ll send Bette instead. Oh wait, wait, wait…she’ll see how bad Tina is, call Bette, and Bette will be on the next plane to New York. Yeah, that’s it :). As always, beautifully written, emotional, and a treat to read. Thanks City.
I tnink Tina really needs Bette to save her
Hey Citygirl, That was torturous. Glad to see that Helena was still there supporting TIna and now prompting her to face up to the reality of her connection with and to Bette. Bette and Tina are two halves of the same soul and although they may both function in isolation, they are so much more together. Your brilliant writing conveys Tina’s desperation and desolution at what her life has become. She needs to face Bette and start working on a better life for the future. Progress is being made slowly and I will follow wherever you lead. Many thanks for this fabulous fan fiction. Your Loyal Fan.
Great writing citygirl! Glad that Helena is coming to get Tina out of the pit. Maybe she will be the link that gets B&T together again…
That would be pretty funny if Helena sent Bette instead. I have a warped sense of humor though. I have to wonder though if Sara is somehow connected to Helena? Hmm…I’m hoping for a reunion as well. Great seeing you at the convention. PPS!
Rule No 6 – according to Jobadge?? I think you grudingly admitted it was right though!! LOL – I think we should link our stories – and call it “Mirror Image” You have a down and out Tina, I have a down and out Bette!! Brilliant chapter mate, your writing just gets better and better.
Hmm, where will Tina wind up…. wherever you lead, I’ll read…
Wonderful writing! Go TiBette! ! !
