Feelings… Chapter 12
Previously
Tina jumped up from her seat and spat, “Your choices and actions tore us apart, and you think I owe you something? I don’t owe you a damned thing, Bette! This is all your fault! I’m tired of it…I need a break!”
Puzzled, Bette looked up at her and asked, “What do you mean, you need a break?”
“Just leave, Bette! Get out of the house! I don’t care where the fuck you go, just go! I…I just can’t deal with this right now!”
“But you can’t…”
“Stop! Just stop talking. I can’t say anymore, I can’t hear anymore—JUST GO!!!!!!
Now
Bette was stunned. She opened her mouth to protest, but she saw Tina’s face, eyes full of fury, and thought better of it.
Quietly, swiftly, she got up, went towards the front door, then looked in Tina’s direction again. Tina was walking towards the back of the house, agitatedly running her hand through her hair.
Bette turned the knob, stepped outside and quietly closed the door. She stood on the stoop, considering what had just happened.
“She just threw me out of our house—or if I wanted to be technical about it, my house!!!! What the fuck?!” Bette was incredulous. “She’s the one who’s talking about wanting to be with a man, and she throws me out of the house?!??? She took a deep breath, shook her head, went down the steps and got in her car to ponder what had happened and what it all meant.
****************************************
Tina walked to the kitchen and leaned against the counter, breathing heavily. She wasn’t used to allowing herself such outbursts, and this one scared her—the rage she was feeling. How long had she been holding onto all of that anger? And was there more that was going to surface?
When she had told Bette she wanted to move back home to have Angelica in their home, she had every intention of working to get past all her anger with Bette about the affair with Candace. She was sorry that they had never talked about it—that neither had made time to do it.
But so much had happened—her own affair with Helena, for instance. Tina had really cared for Helena, but her controlling ways reminded her too much of Bette. And she still was conflicted about her feelings for Bette but knew that she wasn’t ready to move past what had happened. The tension around the silences about what led to their split had put a wedge between them—they continued to tiptoe around the subject, but they sure had jumped into it today without warning! She had no idea that it would be this explosive.

Great Update Sweetie………Kit a voice of reason………I really feel that they really, really need to finished this conversation. But then again this little alone time can be very helpful. They can think about what the other said and take heed to it. PLEASE DON’T TAKE TO LONG to post.And who is knocking on the window? Alice? Shane? Helena? or Candace?It better be TINA! ILU
This was really well written. Excellent dialogue. Please post sooner b/c it is such a good story and you’ve been missed.
Verrrrry nice update, Arr. Quite authentic as always. Ok, I’m considering dusting off my FFA card. Let me echo, PPS.
I haven’t commented in awhile but I gotta come out of hiding and say great update and well worth the wait.Thank goodness for Kit is right Probie.It better be Tina at the door.
Great chapter, nice to see Kit keeping her cool and making sense:-)And I am still chuckling from your nick name for Candace – ‘hammer girl’, its up there with ‘butter boy’ ;-)
I hope its Tina banging on the car window….tunnel vision is such a male thing maybe being raised by her daddy Bette has real issues seeing a woman’s point of view…Great Great chapter PPS
Great story. I’m so glad Bette has Kit. .She has such a great ability to diminish Bette’s feelings and place most of the blame on Bette for Tina/Bette relationship problems. I’m curious are you going to make Tina come clean about her flirtation with Josh in this story? I really enjoy your writing and hope to see the story continued.
Who is that knock on the door, hope is Tina or Shane. Ok post soon please, thanks!
Hopefully it is Tina knocking on the window but my luck it is Shane or someone else. Thank goodness that Kit knows her sister and can be the voice of reason for her. Both are so messed up that they probably need a third party to get them to sit down and discuss all of their problems. Maybe Kit or Shane if they do not want to go to a therapist.
O.o I thought I had read this. Apparently I didn’t. :( I’m not sure throwing Bette out was the best thing for Tina to do, though it did lead to Bette calling Kit and getting a verbal kick in the ass from her.
I absolutely love this fic and I was wondering if you were going to finish it? I hope so!!!
I’m sorry…it’s been sooo long i had to re-read the previous chapters!! LOL Kidding!! Alright Arr…now while I agree with some of what Kit said…The moment Tina left Bette, and then asked to come back, puts forth thte fact that, the house is Bette’s. Tina thought it was amusing..that’s just downright rude. And although that Kit is right about some of her observations, we know that Bette tried talking with Tina when she was back. She tried to instigate chats with comparisons to books, and other ways, but TIna just shut her down. Maybe if Bette went on line and posed as a man Tina would have been more willing to talk with her! LOL That’s funny i should write that fic!!
Thank goodness for Kit. Hope Bette learns a few things from her sister’s experience. Great update even if it did take a long time.
yea, great update…lets just hope we don’t have to wait to see who came a knockin’.. ;)PPS!
Great update, as usual, Arr. I was definitely starting to miss your wonderful insight. I really appreciate the great time and effort you put into trying to fix our favourite couple . Can’t wait for your next chapter !
Kit is a very wise woman, in a relationship there is not only “I”, there need to be some “I” otherwise you lose your identity but the mayor part is about “We”. And certainly not how it became between Bette and Tina, meaning “You”. Don’t ever blame the the other for what’s going on, blame “We”. Everyone is vulnarable and everyone can make mistakes that only makes us human. Another great chapter arkaycee with a huge cliffhanger…it’s time that you take the time to write to next chapter. Ok, I’m in no position to say that but I think with me many others are waiting impatiently for you to continue. Get your sh!t together and write the next one NOW :-)
