"I didn’t expect to see you so soon."
“Yeah, well it’s been three days. And even I can sometimes see when I’m being an idiot. Can I come in? Are you really busy? I can come back later.”
“I took the day off. Come in,” Tina stepped aside and allowed Bette to glide past her.
“Is Angie awake?” Bette asked over her shoulder.
“She’s out with Helena and her children. Helena was feeling nostalgic and asked if she could take Angie with her.”
Bette didn’t respond as she took a seat on the couch and crossed her legs sighing heavily.
Tina hesitated a moment before she took a seat on the love seat.
“So…?” Tina began.
Bette met her eyes.
“These past few days have been…crazy.”
“Crazy, yeah,” Tina agreed.
“And maybe I panicked slightly and gave you an ultimatum that wasn’t fair. And maybe I–actually there’s no maybe to it–I was dismissive of your feelings. And actually I should have said something when Alice called, but I got mad that you went to her and not to me. And so I kept silent hoping that you would talk to me but you never did.”
“You’re not the only one at fault here. Bette I had a bad day the night I came to see you. I’d had lunch with Kate and she had given me a script that I never read. She told me what it was about and said some things that got me upset.”
When Tina stopped talking Bette waited for her to continue but when it seemed like Tina was finished speaking Bette spoke.
“What did you two talk about?”
Tina got to her feet.
“I’ll be right back,” Tina said and walked towards her den.
Bette waited nervously.
Tina wasn’t sure what good it would do to show Bette the script but she hoped that once Bette saw it she would realize why she’d gotten upset about it.
And if she didn’t then Tina promised herself that she would try and make sure Bette understood before she left.
She came back into the livingroom and held up the script for Bette to see.
“This is the script. And though I hadn’t read it Kate told me that Jenny was shopping this around with Candace Jewel and that it was about the relationship you two had.”

Great Chapter Speed!!!! Thanks PPS
What a difficulty conversation to have – if I were Tina that would have been hard as hell to hear – but it is the closest version to what was shown in the scenes on the show – Bette fell out of love because of the loss and the pressure and because these two idiots couldn’t communicate for shit – Thank god you have them doing it now painful as it is. Thanks.
this was really really good explanation of the whole candace affair…i’ve read a lot of them and tried to explained it myself because the on the show tibette still didn’t talk about it…what you pointed out was really interesting and intense…it’s really a time for them just to talk about it and let past be past so they can be back together in a better place
Okay, I just caught up on all you posted on “Seventeen reasons why” and I just wanted to say, I absolutley love your writing. This chapter did drain me as much as it did Tina so, bravo for that! I just hope that you post soon, very soon!
Wow! An intense and long, long overdue conversation! I like your take on why the Candace thing happened; very plausible with what we know. Just wish they’d had the convo long ago and on the show as many others have said! And yes, Jenny is gonna get that a** whupping Bette promised to give her after she’d read the book! Hmm…is Candace gonna show up herself? That would be really deep! Would love to see how you handle that! Continue this marvelous tale soon! And I appreciate your efforts to write us a TiBette–I am sure it doesn’t just flow the way your BeLenas do!
Hey SR, Great to have Bette and Tina sharing this intimate conversation.These gals have a lot to work through but by taking the time and being honest with each other they can make it. This is a majpr step forwards for them so let the good times roll again. Thank you for this wonderful writing. Your Loyal Fan.
I really love this tale. Keep them talking and reconnecting…long overdue…it’s good they take their time and really understand what happened. Please let Bette be the wonderful bombastic bully she is so good at with Jenny and Candance, please let Tina see the fireworks she needs that.
The love never went away it just got buried under all the bad stuff that had gone on in their lives. Hopefully now the good stuff will unbury the their love and allow them to move forward which IMO should be as a family again.
a Belena, a Belena, and then TiBette! and i thuoght i was confused! Of course…you really haven’t gotten these two together! Love loved loved your recent updates. You such a great writer. AND I hope Bette kicks Jenny and Candace’s ass….can she? Please?
See, it’s things like that that make me wish that stupid inflatable dinghy Jenny was on had mysteriously deflated, miles from shore. Vicious little cow… gah! Anyway. They’ve started to scratch the surface of this, and I’m glad to see Bette is talking and apologizing sans groveling. Their next talk is going to be heavy… they still have to discuss that generic toenail-clipping McDude that Tina decided to shag. Ugh. Great as always, Speed. Thanks for the post.
Damn, their is just so much excess baggage these two are carrying around. It was wrong, but you can’t undo whats already been done, you have to let it go and move forwarded. Hopefully the love they have for each other will carry them through. I for one have complete faith in B&T. And I’m with pandamel, Bette so needs to kick Jenny’s ass.
Damn that wore me out just reading it. Okay, so one more chapter of drama ending with Bette kicking some ass, right? =D
That is one of the best explanations about that time that I have ever read. And I’m still stunned that Bette came for the visit…wow
OMG…How hot was that? I tell ya, I wanted to stunt double for Bette against that door…No joke!
nice 2 see they r growing up at last…
