Tina and Shane walked along the stretch of beach that was outside Helena’s house. Tina shivered even though it was a warm day and pulled her jacket closer around her. They had only been walking for a few minutes and yet Tina felt tired already. Shane watched all of this closely but didn’t say anything. She didn’t really know what to say. She had been surprised by Helena’s call, last night, saying that Tina was back in LA and was shocked to see the state that Tina was in. It was Helena that suggested they take this walk so that they could talk.
“It’s so good to see you.” began Tina, understanding that Shane was at a loss for words.
“It’s good to see you too, but, and I don’t really know how to say this but you look terrible. I’m sorry.” apologised Shane.
“It’s OK. I know that I’m not at my best.” smiled Tina, sadly.
“But you’re back. I didn’t think that I would see you back in LA again.”
“Helena convinced me. I’m still not sure that it’s a good idea but I think I’m ready to change some things.”
“Does Bette know that you’re back?”
“Not yet. I know that I need to call her. It should only come from me. I just need a few days to get stronger before I make the call.”
“You’ll get to see Angelica, for the first time in a while.”
“Yeah, but I can’t see her like this.”
They both walked a little further in silence before Tina indicated that she needed to sit down. As they both settled themselves on the sand Tina shielded her eyes from the bright sun. She gave another involuntary shiver which Shane couldn’t help but notice.
“Are you cold?” asked Shane, concerned at Tina’s behaviour.
“No, I…” Tina started and then stopped.
“Can I ask you something?”
“Of course.”
“Why? I don’t get it Tina, there were so many things that you could have done. You could have come to me, or Helena, or even Bette if you were in that much trouble. Did it really get that bad that you had to drink?”
“You know I once sat on a beach just like this and told Henry that I loved Bette. That very night I slept with him.”

It’s going to be a long road – but
Sorry – accidentally pressed the wrong tab! I wanted to sound more optimistic (which I am) that with the support of all her old friends, she can pull this round – but Bette and Angelika are the key. Great story.
city…I just love your story…so pleased you have brought Tina home to her family…of course…I live in hopes of a TiBette reunion…PPS…I’m hanging out for an update…
I noticed how Tina didn’t make too much of the fact that Angelica and Bette were doing great, is she now going to be afraid that Bette is a better mother to Angelica than her?
Its great Tina has all this insight but what will she do with it? what will she do to straighten herself out.
it’s good that tina has friends that can help her but she needs to talk to bette for sure, please make them to work things out for the happy ending, please, please…
“the Bette shaped hole in my heart.” A priceless, poignant and very pretty line. Wonderfully sad story, CG. Beautifully done.
Tina is taking baby steps…but at least she is moving. She needs to take one day at a time. She needs to get herself together before she she can think about getting Angelica back. Will Bette give her back is the question. I want them to be a family.
All of us TiBetters are so sappy. We want them back together, no matter what. Tina owning up to her transgressions. How novel! Just like Mads, I am irrationally optimistic about S4 and B & T. PPS.
Tina is coming along and I am glad to see her friends are there for her…I still would like to know how long it’s been since Tina has seen Angelica. Amazing story and looking forward to the next chapter.
LMAO@funnyone! Olive Oyl! That’s exactly what my mom would say about Shane.
This is good and cant wait to see B&T to see each other again!
Its good to see Tina make a start of actually dealing with things. Even talking about being on her own without being disconnected for a while, which probably would be very good thing. But I have to admit having Olive Oyl, I mean Shane, talk about eating properly was rather amusing.
I want that old Tina back too! I have to say that I am still trying to remain upbeat about season 4 – I think my Laurel hug helped get me focused :o)
Tina’s got to get through a day before she can get back to Angie or Bette. I’m surprised she hasn’t got withdrawal symptoms yet. (Not that I’m wishing such horrors on her!) At least Tina’s owning what she did. Great chapter, city girl. It’s stories like yours and the others that are keeping me sane until 7 Jan.
Hope you can bring the old Tina back.
God this story is goooooood!Nice work!
It makes me glad to see that Tina is taking the correct track and that she has friends to help her. I’m hoping for a TiBette union too. Hope you take us there some day! :) Love this story.
Tina taking responsibility, I like it. I have Irationally Optimistic S4 Fever and I’m glad to see it’s catching!
You have some excellent story telling skills on display here citygirl. You do a great job of showing emotion, instead of having the characters tell how they are feeling, and that is a gift many of us wish to emulate. Thank you for taking the time to write, and I do hope you think highly enough of your skills to consider writing for “a living” instead of only for our consumption.
Please write faster. : ) and bring the old Tina back to us. Thank you so much…and luckily haven’t seen the S4 promos.
