Walk the Line: Part 1
As sure as night is dark and day is light
I keep you on my mind both day and night
And happiness I’ve known prove that it’s right,
Because you’re mine,
I walk the line
“Tina? Did you hear me?”
Tina studiously ignored her friend, deciding that playing dumb was her only option.
“You really need to stop spending so much time with Bette.” Alice repeated herself. Her voice was gentle but held a warning tone.
Who could tell, if she should or if she shouldn’t. Tina was fine with Bette’s relationship with Jodi, even fine with being alone. She was just…fine.
What struck Alice the most about the smile Tina gave her then, was that it was absolutely peaceful. “Well, as long as you think about it.” Alice conceded. “I’m sure you’ll both figure out what to do.”
Later, when she was alone, Tina thought back to Alice’s warning. She peeled her clothes off, climbing into the shower. As she soaped her body, she drifted away to the times that she had spent with her ex partner. A picnic at the beach stood out the most. It was the same beach she’d been at with Henry, just as she had decided to leave Bette finally.
Tina paused, the soap forgotten in her hand which hung limply by her side. How could she ever know what the right way forward was, when every decision she ever made seemed to contradict the one before it?
And yet, these new memories that she gathered with Bette, were overlapping with the old ones, neither erasing them nor contradicting. Everything simply moved forward. They were living their lives as best they could.
The Planet was having yet another theme night. The theme had something to do with women in rock, so Tina found her best ‘rocker chick’ outfit. Tame by most standards, she nonetheless ended up happy with the results. Her blonde hair was thicker and longer than it had been in months. She wore a black bracelet, thick, which actually doubled as a watch, and a well worn Pat Benatar tshirt from a concert attended long before she met Bette, long before she fell into mature and respectable company in the LA scene. Her jeans were also well worn, faded denim with a tear in one of the back pockets. They were just a little loose, like the fashionistas were currently wearing, but they were a helluva lot cheaper than D&G could make them. She smiled as she looked in her full length mirror, before tossing on a black jacket. She was reminded of the person she was when she first left North Carolina—laid back, open to anything, and not afraid of a few rips in her clothes. Of course she was 21, such was life back then.

i like this very much and hope u post soon cuz im ready to read the next chap:D
This so good that I can’t wait to read the next part. PPS. I love me some TiBette.
hmmmm.. love this TIBETTE story… can’t wait to read the second part…PPS
On my to-read list (when I actually feel like reading FF lol). As for ship wars, ehhhhhhhh I can’t claim innocence. I’m a staunch TiBetter. I also sadly don’t have much of a sense of humor when folks pick and tease whether or not they are trying to get a rise out of TiBetters. Some folks warrant a good bitchslap. No, I’m not naming names. ;) But for now I should call it a night. =)
Well, for a non-bishipper you sure know what makes Tibette tick. That was brilliant. I’m positively giddy over the return of the gender-balanced Wilson, whom I fondly recall from one of your earlier Belena tales.
lol, rufus you’re so cute
This was great to read! I didn’t get Tina thought when she made a comment about Bette questioning Tina’s attraction to women at the basketball game. At the time of the game Tina was still boinking Henry, and then had the nerve to say that she thinks of lesbianism as a political distinction! What the f#*k does that mean? Honestly, that was one of the stupidest things out of Tina’s mouth during the whole fourth season! Looking forward to your next chapter. Whether you write about Tibette or Helebette you always make it a good story!
Yup, writting is indeed hardwork. Really appriciate all your stories. Thank you very much. PPS, love this tibette!
HeleBette I hope like hell you are going to keep this a TIBette story. LMAOOO..it’s beautiful hun, and I cannot wait to read more from you. Also, adding Angelica into the story is simply an added benefit. I love reading about all three of them. Thanks and more soon.
Mature talk, sunny feelings, comfort… Thanks a lot… Just what I needed this night…
Ahhh love this and B&T together, love them, please post more. thanks!
Is a bishipper something like a catamaran? Damn HB, you’re so well rounded. Did you invent the phrase ‘gender-balanced’? That’s a new one on me. I almost choked on Alice’s spaghetti right along with Shane. Congratulate me-I missed exactly one question on my ultrasound physics final tonight!
Wow, that was very beautiful, thanks!!!
Hip Hip Horray! Write more of this today
absolutely loved it!
How wonderful to have you lend your talents to a TiBette story. Maybe Alice and Helena will have a go at it as well.
Of course it’s an experience worth having, even if they don’t work out. Nothing ventured, nothing gained. You rock, hb, thanks for the post!
Terrific HB. That was so amazingly…I’m struggling for the right word…mature makes it sound dull which it certainly was not. You really got that connection that any couple who have been in an LTR has, even if the relationship has gone bad. It is very very well written. Is it not ironic that you write great Tibette and Sofasitter writes great Belena? LOL.
Hello HB, you are amazing. They way you handled both Bette and Tina in this story was so much more hopeful… and even a little more realistic, I love drama like the next person but there comes a time when all you can do is talk, try to reach each other in a common place and see where it takes you. This did that… no angst… no volatile childish dispositions… just each other and what is right in front of you… nothing behind the words… Brilliant. I love how you are stepping out of the box… you Rock, Sincerely, JC
I have 4 words for you: Write more TiBette stories. ;)
that was good…i’m just now catching up! PPS
BRILLIANT…AND deep…yes, sometimes we have to go away to find a piece of ourselves…
