    Seventeen Reasons Why – One

    "Why did you break up with Henry?"

    “Excuse me?” Tina asked agitated while she fiddled with her stereo at a red light.

    “I’m sure you heard me.”

    “Look Bette I’m driving. Let me call you back, besides you’ve got a busy day tomorrow.”

    “You helped me with Jodi and I don’t get to help you in return?”

    “What would you help me with, Bette?” Tina asked with an uncomfortable laugh.

    “Anything,” Bette answered too fast.

    Tina squinted as the sun glinted brightly off the Jag in front of her.

    “I don’t need help. But thanks anyway.”

    “Why did you break up with Henry?”

    “Why do you keep asking me that?”

    “Would you rather I ask why you helped me with Jodi, Tina?” Bette’s voice was mild and Tina could picture Bette frowning as she said this trying to reconcile the words with her mood.

    “Why wouldn’t I help the mother of my child? You want her. I want to see you happy.”

    “I…”

    “Did you think I enjoyed seeing you miserable, Bette? Because I don’t. At least not anymore. I don’t ever want to see you like that again, okay? And the Henry thing? It ran its course, okay? It just ran its course. There was nowhere left to go.”

    “Right. Now back to women.”

    She caught the sarcastic edge to Bette’s tone and frowned switching lanes and tapping the horn when a car swerved in front of her. Bette hadn’t sounded displeased earlier when she’d mentioned it.

    “I suppose.”

    “How does one suppose that, Tina?”

    “ Let’s not argue. We left things on a pleasant note, didn’t we?”

    “Yes. But I’m confused and you see I can’t seem to wrap my mind around all of this. Talked to Kate Arden yet?”

    “There’s nothing to talk about.”

    “She’s into you.”

    “She’s my director.”

    “She wants to be your lover,” Bette snapped.

    Tina sighed.

    “She’s sort of like Jenny,” Tina admitted. “A more charming version. A less crazy version.”

    “That’s the woman you want to initiate you back into lesbianism? You can do so much better.”

    “I thought you liked her,” Tina protested feeling her heart begin to pound.

    “She uncorked a whole decanter of tequila right in front of me, Tina. Who brings hard liquor to a dinner party? And she’s always wearing that army jacket. What the hell is up with that?”

    1. Speedy…This was brilliant. Like it shoulda happened. So Bette’s a little controlling. She gets things done doesn’t she? Look how she organized the theft of the sign. Perfect. She ‘s perfect w/her halo a bit askew. I heart Her. But Jodi’s gotta go. Great story.

    2. Wow, this is really great. The dialogue is just incredible. You’ve got my little Tibette heart going pitter-pat… and breaking all over again realizing this didn’t actually happen. Thanks!

    3. damn, you took my idea LOL…anyway, this was better than the real ending and totally explained why it could’ve happened that way…thanks from a tibetter

    4. Thanks for this. It totally could’ve gone this way. I loved the candid dialogue and REALLY loved Tina’s advice for Shane. Thanks again! =)

    5. Yeah, I can’t think of one good reason Bette would chase Jodi across the country, when she has everything she needs in LA. Great post, Speed, thanks.

    6. why is it that the better stories, writing and outcomes all come from you talented writers on this site, and not from the one who gets paid to do this for a living!!!!great chapter!!!

    7. LMFAO @ B&TF I just thought the exact same thing! LMFAO! I loved this speedy! Amazing! Seems like the finale gave lots of ppl inspiration to write! I especially loved the last sentence :D Great!

    8. Great dialogue and a very sweet ending. I liked the actual finale and thought the tractor thing and Bette were very sweet even if Jodi/Bette have no chemistry to speak of. However this was way better. Fab as ever speedy.

    9. Your ending could have gone this way, but if it had, then I wouldnt have the pleasure of Tina gnawing her bottom lip off while Bette is with someone else!

    10. u brought a big smile to my face…thanks I was feeling so sad for Tina and have a story in my head on that ep 13 season 4 line….however I’m right into yours….great stuff as usual.
