Bette turned “I have tried too Tina. Tried to do this on your terms … letting you dictate the speed and shape this journey has taken. I’ve tried my best to be what I thought was the best I can be for you and for Angelica. It hasn’t been easy. There were times I just wanted to scream from the frustration of it all but I just grinned and bore it Tina. You were in the driver seat. Maybe I shouldn’t have put so much faith in you.”
“Bette I have done nothing but love you. I didn’t make you cheat on me.” Tina fires back knowing it was an argument that was in the past but not knowing what else to do.
When Bette hears these words coming from Tina they cause her anger to fire on all cylinders. With her nostrils flaring Bette retorts, “I didn’t mean to put Angie in harm’s way. I would never do that but you act as if it was only a matter of time the when not an if even. Tina what do you think I am.” Bette asks but quickly decides she doesn’t want to know. “I can’t make you trust me. When I first cheated on you it was all my problem not yours. No matter how hard you searched for fault in yourself it wasn’t there. But this … the thought that I would … hurt Angie … that’s wrong … terrible wrong and it’s all yours. T you need to figure out I’m not the root evil of all things bad. This is your problem Tina.”
Once Bette was done and could see that Tina didn’t have any response she turn and left the room, intent on packing her bag so she would be ready to leave once they had Angelica’s whereabouts confirmed.
Chapter 17
“Trust dies but mistrust blossoms.” Sophocles
When Bette walked out of the room Tina felt her heart begin to pound. It was an instant reaction to the barb of Bette’s words, the old knee jerk pattern that Tina knew so well.
“It was true she hadn’t given Bette the benefit of doubt. She wasn’t thinking … it was just so obvious to me when I walked in the door that Bette had done something. How did things jump to the point where I was screaming at Bette as if she was trying to kill Angelic? Of course I know Bette loves Angelica and would do anything to prevent her from being hurt. Why would I think anything else?”

dayum this is exciting. remember us. were hanging on also. have a good trip and thanks.
Oh no!!! That can’t be good! J – this is an awesome story! I just love it!
Nooo, I love Dan, he seems so sweet! Poor little Angie, all she wanted to do was go to sleepaway camp and draw and now everything is all screwy!! hope this little family can recover from the hurricane that is there lives! Post when you can….
I don’t usually comment on tibette stories but have to throw my 2 cents in on this one..well written and quite exciting and cliffhanging! Tina is being classic Tina here..she didn’t consult Bette either before allowing A to go to the mountains…and what if something had gone wrong with that plan? It doesn’t surprise me at all that Tina has been hanging onto this card all this time, and IMO, “only love can hurt so deep” and “of course its normal to feel mistrust after betrayal” is way off. It’s been TEN years, everyone makes mistakes, even Tina, no doubt, but she continues to keep score with Bette’s, and her anger has nothing to do with being afraid for Angelica..if it was she would not have mentioned the affair. Then, after she tears Bette’s heart out, her next words are I need you….I…I…I…It’s always only about Tina, her feelings, her wants, regardless of impact on others. I am so glad Bette has had enough, finally. Real love forgives and cares for the other person and no one can tell me that Tina really loves Bette. Hope for next post soon…what WILL happen with Anglelica and Dan!!! Hi hi hi sky!!!!
I am on the edge of my seat, I am totally enjoying the drama, a rare thing to do for a romantic like myself:-)You are truly THE drama queen and I mean that in the best way possible;-)pps
EXCELLENT! Hey I just loved this JW, it’s powerful:Bette turned “I have tried too Tina. Tried to do this on your terms … letting you dictate the speed and shape this journey has taken. I’ve tried my best to be what I thought was the best I can be for you and for Angelica. It hasn’t been easy. There were times I just wanted to scream from the frustration of it all but I just grinned and bore it Tina. You were in the driver seat. Maybe I shouldn’t have put so much faith in you.” MORE MORE MORE
Fantastic update, you had my heart pounding. It’s really great seeing so many of the talented writers encouraging each others work, very nice indeed.
What happened to Dan? WHat happened with B&T?
This is bad and please let Angie be ok!
This is way too frightening for fanfic! j/kExciting and profoundly sad as well. I hope we get some resolution w/the next chapter. PPS. Please don’t leave us hanging.
Sounds like everybody needs to hold on tight right about now. Have a good trip.
You really can’t leave this hanging. I’ve tuned into the weather channel and its not looking good for Hurricane Alice, or Bette and Tina come to think of it!! Great to have you back posting mate!
The drama just keeps on coming – wave after wave! Terrific, gripping story. Please don’t keep us in suspence.
Oh my, you do know how to keep us reeling…hoping for calmer weather in the near future. Thank you!
J–thanks for the airport post!! this story just keeps getting more and more intense… i hope the ‘weather’ calms soon and leaves behind nothing but love in the air! have a good trip
Hey JWet, More exhausting episodes of this exhilirating drama from you. I love that when you are the zone the story flows out like the tidal wave. Often it whas brought me down but I always manage to resurface and stand again. O loved the simplicity of this chapter. Getting into Bette and Tina’s heads is always a thrill. Even if it is them dealing with their own inadequacies and mistakes. I do hope that the light is beginning to illuminate theire thoughts and show them the reality of recent events. It is only by being together is the whole worth more than the sum of the parts. Bette and Tina understand and belong together. only this type of comprehension of one another allow you to go for the jugular and inflect this much pain. Please get them talking again and moving forward to look for their child. As for Angelica I do hope that the storm will pass and that a safe and happy finale will occur, Many thanks for all your wonderful and magical words. The story jumps off the page and lights up my day. Your Loyal Fan.
THIS IS WHY YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST ON THIS SITE!!! THIS IS WHY YOU ARE MISSED WHEN YOU DON’T POST!!! Did you hear that all the way from the West Coast?! LOL Travel safe, I will talk with you soon…and thanks for posting this!
Be safe on your trip please because you have left us hanging in the air just like Dan. Poor Bette and Tina still not knowing the fate of Angelica and then losing each other again. Angelica is a strong girl and with Dan’s help they can make it. If only Bette and Tina can be strong and hold onto their love and not anger. Really, be safe and take care.

oh no u r so BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PPS…WHEREVER U R B SAFE AND ENJOY…
DUDE! you’re throwing it all at us and i love it. thanks for the updates and hope to read more soon.
