Tina stared out the glass doors which led into the back yard, yet she didn’t see the early morning sunshine dancing across the pool’s liquid surface. She was blinded by tears she had battled to keep at bay. Her heart hammered painfully in response to the myriad of emotions which were beginning to pull her apart.
She heard the bathroom door close down the hallway, her eyes shut tight and the first tear falls. Biting her lip she tells herself to stop crying but her heart continues to give way. Her right hand clenches into a fist before it slams down and connects sharply with the solid oak kitchen table. The half finished mug of coffee in front of her jumps in response to the sudden outburst. Finally defeated, Tina lets out a quiet sob as her tears begin to fall in earnest.
It’s equal parts sorrow and pain but right now she can’t distinguish the difference, the end result is the same and grief is what consumes her.
An hour ago she had been in a better place, a place where Bette was there, holding her, loving her. Sadly that place only existed in her dreams, except for the previous afternoon. Tina smirked, yesterday afternoon had been dreamlike at the time but the aftermath was proving to be a nightmare. Reality had set in this morning when she woke up alone to the knowledge that Bette had spent the night with her arms around another woman.
Fatigue had enticed her to shut the truth out and sleep some more but deep in her heart Tina knew that she had to get up, if not for herself then for her daughter. Angelica now sat on the living room floor not three feet from the television. Cartoons commanded her attention so completely that she knew nothing of her mother’s distress.
Five minutes ago Tina had heard a car pull up in the drive. By the sound of the engine she knew it was the same car that had whisked Bette away the night before. Raising her mug, Tina took a sip of the hot liquid in the hope that it would somehow fortify her emotions.
Moments later Bette was standing in front of her, Tina couldn’t help but wonder how anyone could look so good in last night’s clothes. To Tina, Bette’s dress looked as good as the moment she had put it on but she looked a little more edgy now with her hair down and shoes dangling from her left hand.

How do you stop the hurt and pain from flowing out of one’s body? Do they still love one another to fight for what is natural to them? I for one believe that they can work it out but Bette is correct in her thinking of why Tina is returning to her. They really do need to sit and talk and not hold anything back. Bette is not truely happy with Abby nor will she ever be happy again without Tina.
Can someone please pass the popcorn? Bette and Tina’s anger almost melted the screen on my laptop! As for TiBette, eyes on the prize ladies. Your pride won’t keep you warm at night…memo to Abby: This is probably a good time to stop keeping Bette warm at night. Please post another one of your fantastic chapters soon HG.
hmmmmmm…sounds like the ladies need some couch time with Dan Foxworthy…
Oh boy. Tina should really see that realtor and move out of the house. Otherwise her being there comes across as suspect. Can’t wait to read what happens next.
Poor Angelica…she shouldn’t have to witness any of this nonsense. I still think Bette is mad at herself for letting Tina get to her. Tina didn’t force her to do anything she didn’t want to do. Bette needs to sit down and talk to Tina. She also needs to tell her girlfriend what happened otherwise she will be a walking timebomb. Keep posting.
damn…poor angie, i would be scared too…i wish they would talk
God… sometimes I wonder why they put that child into the world. It pisses me off when people behave that badly in front of their children… but they do way too often. Love your story – you’re an amazing writer.
Poor Angie, Well pay back is hell if you are on the receiving end. I’m with Rau. so right thanks
Oh I love this story so much, but I can’t believe Bette didn’t greet Angelica when she got home or kiss her goodbye when she left? We only heard Bette’s car door slam; we didn’t hear her drive away. She better realize she just blew off her daughter and get back in the house! Please post soon!
Damn this is sad and poor Angel and I agree woth pumpkin. OK let see whats next, thanks!
I too agree with Pumpkin. Bette needs remmeber that they are 3 in the family.
When the hell with these two understand that communication is the KEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wow – would I not want to be Tina right about now, then again, I wouldn’t want to be Bette or Abby. Love to see how you straighten this out!
Having read this again today, I’m as keen as ever to see how things will unfold. Thanks.
Yeah, as usual, they need to have a little chat.
these two need to have a good long talk. thanks for posting, HG.
shit I don’t blame Angel for being afraid…these 2 have done nothing but fuck up her little life from conception to NOW…
Great chapter yee they need a good honest talk, hope we get another chapter soon though.
You write so beautifully. I’m hopelessly addicted! I love the how you have the tension stringing all over the place. Makes me want to play my guitar. What tune will Bette/Tine/Abby’s tension strings play? I’d love to find out. Poor Angie, her moms never cease to rock her world. I agree with Rau, they’ve been rockin’ it since day one. Great post!
Poor Angie baby. It does no good to a child who watches their parents fight everyday. Bette should be brave and face herself soon.
Like Tina and Bette I forgot Angie was sitting there!(lol) They have to work this out what ever it is. Something has got to give, there is too much baggage and tension in the air. While I was laughing when Bette gave Tina the same bull, she has to face this and set the record straight. I don’t think she she continued with her girlfriend if she is not really feeling her. Post soon!
god..these two just need to have a good fight, talk, and move forward with their lives…together of course. You know you can never post fast enough. Thanks.
its just crappy when people get all defensive when they know what they have to do but its scary. love your writing and this story. thanks as always.
i can’t believe Bette attitude, i know that she is mad so mad but her little girl is there and she didn’t look at her! Angel doesn’t have the guilty! and Bette need to be more rasonable and try to listen Tina.
