Tina pulled the blanket up and over her head. She tried not to focus on the spinning sensation that was happening in her head. If she kept perfectly still then the world stayed in one place, other than that she had fight off the feeling that she was going to throw up. She felt cold, even though she knew that it was a perfect Southern Californian day outside. When she had opened her eyes this morning she could see the bright sun coming through the window but that wasn’t enough to tempt her out of bed.
She had spent the last twenty four hours thinking about her conversation with Shane and about how much she had missed out on, not being here with Angelica and how she had tried to explain away the choices that she had made in the last five years. There was no explaining to be done though, this was becoming more and more apparent. Tina knew that she had made some terrible mistakes and knew that she could barely make up for any of them but knew that it was about time that she started.
Once Shane had left Tina and Helena had sat down for a long talk. They had discussed what Tina was going to do about trying to stop drinking. The last thing that Tina wanted to do was to go to therapy. She remembered all the times that she and Bette had thought that it would be the end to their troubles only to find that it solved nothing because both of their hearts weren’t in it. Tina didn’t want to talk to a complete stranger about her problems, in her heart she knew the person that she wanted to talk to but also knew that it was unfair to burden that person with her problems, especially as Bette had always been the victim of Tina’s problems that she couldn’t find a way to resolve. She had promised Helena that she would, at least, think about seeing someone, just to test the water, just to see if would help.
Lying there in bed, this morning, Tina felt more receptive to the idea of getting some outside help. Talking and hearing from someone who would talk to her without any preconceived ideas about what she should do. Then came the physical withdrawal symptoms, she had fought them off in the past few days but today she felt terrible, it was like her body was craving something that it couldn’t live without. That was why Tina still found herself in bed, if she didn’t get up then temptation wouldn’t come to visit, or at least be a distant visitor. Tina had consented to visiting Helena’s doctor, if only under duress. The appointment was tomorrow, a day that she knew would come too soon for her. In the cold light of day she hated to think about how much damage she had done to her body through the abuse that she had put it through.

I do hope Tina’s not messed her body up too badly, but she’s been binge drinking for ages, so… I dunno. I hope she agrees to let Helena get her in a detox program. I hope Angelica is happy to see Tina, without being too upset and feeling too abandoned. Hmm. I seem to have typed up a lot of hope there. Must be ‘cos of how hopeful this chapter is… I hope your holidays are going great, and I hope you post soon. Cheers
Tina haven’t seen Angel in two years! That’s an awful long time… it is heartbreaking to see Tina at this low point… but then again it’s understandable how she got there… you make it so with your incredible writing. I sense hope in this chapter… Bette is an amazing woman for still wanting to include Tina… but then again, maybe she doesn’t have a choice – maybe the love is just that strong? Thanks, City… and a happy new year to you.
citygirl75 you write so thoughtfully. Thanks for the story.
Thank you for posting City. It’s good to see that Tina is wanting to get better. That was the 1st step…I hope she is open to letting Bette to help her…but before she thinks about her and Bette she has to get herself together. I can’t believe she hasn’t seen Angelica for 2 whole years…WTF? Please keep posting…this is one of my favs.
Good god this story is awesome. It has been so sad and hard to see Tina like that, but I know that you are bringing them full circle. You have to!Can’t wait for more.
CG this story causes that pitter patter in my chest!!
Bette is the shit! She is just the person Tina needs right now to help her get back on her feet.
This is good and Bette there to help Tina to go through this!
City, thanks so much for this…this one of the great stories that I hang out for…hope all is gonna go well with B,T and their baby. Great Helena…have a happy new year…peace…
How nice it was to wake up to a new post from you! It feels like I’ve been eagerly checking for days. I love the intricate way in which you’re spinning this story. Hop you had a happy holiday, and thanks for writing!!
Just so good. I look forward to your posts. Love the development of your characters. I wish I had a friend like Helena. LOL. Never thought I’d say that. PPS.
Great story! Thank God, Tina is on the mend. Hope she gets along well with Bette and maybe they will get their lives together? Thank you so much for this story!
Ah thanks! I see some light…and hope for B&T. Can’t wait for their meeting … Best wishes of the season, City
Hey! They’re talking! And being decent to each other. And Tina will see Angelica. Its been a good day and Tina hasn’t even gotten out of bed yet. May tomorrow be better, which it probably will be simply for making a start. Not that it will be easy. And if I have to pick a part, I’ll be the bad cop.
Citygirl….this story is amazing. I hope you get to post very soon.
Heh pick-a-part. At least I didn’t have to think too hard on the reference. Off to finish reading. =)
Ah some hope for the New Year… Thanks for such a good chapter.
Is Helena single? ;)
Bette Porter, woman of her dreams…. Ah………. Fantastic!
You paint such a vivid picture with your story. Thank you.
finally something good is happening, i just hope B&T love is strong enough to get them through this and with help from others it could work…thank you
