We’ve Got Tonight – Part 2
We’ve got tonight… – Part 2
How can I just sit here…, I am meant to be packing a case, I am meant to be running after the woman who had run away from me…, but I can’t seem to motivate myself to put one thing in this empty case…
But the last few days have been hectic, my time with Alice and Shane…, stealing the sign for Jodi…, the grand gesture that was currently being shipped to New York…, what had possessed me to break into the grounds of the warehouse and steal that sign…
Because I was in love with her…, because I had been persuaded that it would be an amazing thing to do…, because I thought it was the right thing to do…, because she wanted me and Tina didn’t…?
So many questions and hard as I might try, I couldn’t quite get the answers to any of those questions…
I thought this was meant to be straight forward…, the woman you had fallen in love with had run…, I go after her, and we live happily ever after… or that is what they were all telling me its what I should do, but that hadn’t been my initial thoughts, the stubborn thoughts of Bette Porter was not to run after anyone…, but I had changed…, so much had changed…
I suddenly had the one woman I had shared my life with helping me, telling me what I should be doing, what I should be saying…, god she even typed out a text message on my behalf…, saying all the things that were true about me…, things that only she would know…, things that no one else would ever be able to say to me apart from her…
I know that if Alice told me I was a control freak that she would be taking her final breath as she said the words…, but when Tina and I talked by the pool…, how she told me those things…, although I tried to defend myself, albeit in pathetic way…, I listened to her…
And I listened to her when she told me how hard it was for her…, how hard it was to watch me interacting with someone new…, I understood that feeling and I knew how much it had cut through me when she had been with Helena…, I felt like someone was tearing me apart, slowly limb by limb…, slow enough to maximise the intensity of the pain…, it hurt so much that it was unbearable…

you had me dying in anticipation on what song you selected!! I figure after our chat that you would pick this one…and as i said before it just jumped out at me! Great Job!! Loved Bette’s POV!! Can’t wait for more from you!!
That was really, really lovely!
Now I’m addicted to both of your stories! Wish we had seen this play out- but your words make it real enough!Thank you!
You are so right. This is how it should have played out. I already said it. I so wanted it all to dawn on Bette and have her walk back through the doors. As much as I love that we can always count on finding Bette and Tina together in FanFic, I’m hoping and praying that IC gives us what we want in S5.
So glad you decided to write #2, cos the first was heartbreaking!!! Loved the song choice Angel, if only I also shared looks with JB – but same taste in music will do LOL. Great one mate, btw sorry I didn’t get to comment on the first one :o((
Ah Jo, what else can be said right? Fantastic story, and I absolutely loved the line about the “18 reasons”…so very true. Post soon eh? *tapping fingers*
God! This is so good to read! This is much more dramatic and sensible and sweet… This would hook any TV audience! *SCREMING* Take a look at this IC and learn waht we want (hun, like she didn´t know that…) and how to write!
Jo, just wanted to let you know how badly these stories are messing me up. I leave and go to lunch, listening to Mariah Carey sing “Can’t Live” and the Commodores-“Just to Be Close To You” and all I can think about is the scene with BEtte and Tina when Bette’s leaving to go after Jodi. Now I’m really depressed.
Now you went and did it again… you made it all better. You even made sense of the Bette/Jodi disaster… I get it now LOL. Thanks, Jo!
Forever is more like it… one night wasn’t going to be anywhere near enough. Lovely post, Jo. Thanks
*Sigh* If only! Not to worry we always have S5 Great wondeful chapter PPS
Thank you! “for the seventeen reason of wanting to go after Jodi, I can think of eighteen reasons to stay and fight for you…” I’m still holding out hope for them.
Really like this version.
It’s amazing how you give so much and still there are lots to say. You portray the whole situation very well and create many paths you could follow. Fantastic. Stop right here and it’s perfectly finished, or you could simply go on with this story and it would be also great. You’re gifted. Always a pleasure to read your stories.
perfect!!!
Jo, I knew you could make it all better. Captivating. PPS.
You are my goddess for bringing them home. If only season 5 will be this beautiful.
Too bad it didn’t end like this on the show but then Bette would need to be somewhat insightful and we all know that she is a dumb shit when it comes to seeing what’s right in front of her. They are the perfect imperfect couple. JoBette can’t hold a candle to TiBette. Never did and never will. Pls write more.
I agree, this is the way that the season should have ended. I guess that I will have to rely on your Tibette stories to keep me sane and comforted that love does win out at times.
Wow Jo. That simply ROCKED!
I sometimes think when I read your stories that thet can’t keep getting better and better but they do. That was awesome. Thanks for taking the time.
I agree with BeJacks and I REALLY like this version of events :o).
That was beautiful and awsome, love it. Love B&T are together and happy for them. Please post more, thanks!
Wow Jo! That was fucking awesome. Your talent astounds me. I wish it would have happened like this…it should have happened like this. God knows if I had the money to produce a show, you would be the person I would want writing for me! Thank you so much!
I really enjoyed your recent stories, so I had to go back and read some of your previous posts. This was a great, though short story. Beautiful. Wish this was cannon. Thank you for all of your posts, I look forward to reading more.
Hey Jo, Thank you so much for continuing this wonderful story. You can really feel the love and admiration between Bette and Tina. This tale of reconciliated and reconnect is prefect and just how I would have loved the season to finish. I can only hope and continue my delusions that Bette and Tina will reunited. Seeing them together is just adorable and a knife in the heart as I realize that it just as friends and parents and not as lovers. There is a real buzz between them on screen which is so lacking in the Bette/Jodi dynamic. I pray that Ilene is following your wise words. Thank you so much for this delightful drama. Your Loyal Fan.
Thank you. If only….
What an exquisite chapter! Thanks Jo!
*Sigh* Too bad it didn’t play out like this on the show. Although, I like Kate, just without gum! LMAO..I want Bette and Tina together though…and this story did so magically. Thanks Jo!
Beautiful, absolutely beautiful!
Didn’t I say good things could happen if you could be honest with yourself and others?
Brilliant! Too bad Bette had to pay out the ass to ship that sign to NY first. =/
Dammit, Pot! Now my little Kettle heart is breaking because I know that this isn’t what happened… Your post made me all warm and happy… and then IC and reality struck. Oh well. Gorgeous and brilliant as usual.
Indeed, this was as it should have been!
