Chapter 11
“Peggy where is she? I need to speak to her.”
Inspecting Bette’s blouse which still had residual evidence of her indiscretion, “Bette, dear, I think you’ve said enough tonight”.
Shaking her head in disbelief Bette continued to plead, “Peggy I made a mistake. I need to speak to Helena”
“Bette, what are you going to say? You were minding your own business and lipstick fell all over your neck and chest. Dear, I would suggest that you take a breather and let calmer heads prevail.”
“I don’t know what I will say. I just need to speak to her. I don’t have an excuse for what happened tonight. I just need to speak to her. Please!.. I just…I don’t know Peggy. I don’t know.”
“Dear, I’m not sure what to tell you but she does not want to talk to you. She did say something along the lines of…She ‘hoped’, no she ‘thought’, no, no… she ‘trusted that you would do the right thing’. Yes, that’s what it was. She ‘trusted that you would do the right thing’. So perhaps you did. Bette have you considered that what you did might have been the right thing, maybe not for Helena but for you.”
“No, it was not the right thing. Not for me, not for Tina, not for Helena. Peggy please tell me where she is. I just need to see her. I need to apologize to her”.
“I honestly don’t know where she is. She wanted to leave. My driver took her. I don’t know where they went. But I would still suggest that you let everything settle down tonight. Helena was more upset than I can remember ever seen her. She is pretty devastated. She is disappointed and frankly Bette…. so am I.”
Looking at Bette, who had her head hung down low, “Knowing your history, I was shocked but pleased that the two of you found each other. Helena was madly in love with you and very hopeful for the future although I could tell from our conversations the last few times she was troubled. She didn’t share with me what her concern was but now I can see…”as the pulled on Bette’s top, “what it was.”
“Peggy I don’t know what to say. I love her. I didn’t mean to hurt her. It was totally meaningless and stupid.”

Yeah Tina is not exactly the victim, she has been trying to seduce Bette for the longest. Bette just gave in, even though that doesn’t make it alright. Tina needs to just let go and move on. I feel terrible for Helena. I don’t know where the story is heading but deep down I’m still hoping for a Belana ending!
Big ass WORD on what everyone said that cares about Bette. Tina engineered this, she wanted it, even telling Bette she was around for a quick fuck any time, not giving a rat’s ass about Bette being with Helena, and then she got what she wanted and now she’s the victim, feeling USED and cheap and whatever, and crying???? and everyone’s all sorry for HER? I said before that I think Bette does have residual feelings for Tina and Tina was taking advantage of those feelings, but it doesn’t mean she wants to BE with Tina. I think she really does love Helena and I think Helena needs to understand where Bette is emotionally also, as was said. I do know that I am really tired of seeing Bette be crucified for every mistake she ever made, in every fic and on the show, while Tina gets a pass no matter what she does. I wish someone would even just confront Tina about her behavior here,but they won’t, and Bette’s “friends” are the first to bail on HER when she screws up.
i’m on bette’s side…lol…sorry, was just reading other people’s comments…i don’t think bette shoulda done that thang, but it happened and pfft…helena did the same thing with her shrink, i believe that was standing up and against a desk as well. LOL…now aside from my total disbelief that orgasms can be HAD standing up, I think the whole thing was a realistic faux pas..geez, am i making myself seem awful here? well *I* haven’t done anything like this to anyone, but who am i to judge the characters? tina is being a bit ridiculous, so i’m not on her side, and helena is helena…so she’s probably off shagging some gorgeous young thang to cure her blues. this is a great story, it’s far more gripping than the actual show. more more more, and i will stop commenting:) hehe
S this sure was a chapter full of emotions on everyones part. Bette for messing up a darn good relationship with Helena, with the staff of the school and with Tina, not to mention Peggy and herself!! This is a rollercoaster of a story and do like that Pam and Tina are getting to know one another much better I like this character,,,
What a mess, Squirl! Bette has truly made some bad decisions, and now everyone is disappointed, hurt or angry. She really needs to step back. Old feelings are obviously entangled with new ones, but at this rate, she’ll end up alone. Peggy, as usual, is right on target. Tina…I just don’t know. She had to know what could potentially happen, which is why she kept pushing Bette. But it was tacky after Bette’s declaration of love, though now it seems pretty hollow. I think Bette does love Helena, but the timing is just not right. That’s why Helena tried not to fall too hard for Bette–she didn’t want to get burned twice! I, too, am worried that Bette seems to have no visible support right now and that she could become self-destructive. But you wouldn’t let her go too far, would you? I think that if Helena chose to give Bette another chance, that would be through forgiveness that no human being could muster in one’s own power! I don’t want to see Helena get hurt further, but I think that, as Peggy said, she’s acting impulsively now. Everybody needs a cooling off period. And though I understand that Pam is just trying to distract Tina for now, I really don’t want to see them fall in bed with one another right now. Pam is probably going to be very good for Tina, but again, the timing is pretty lousy! I can’t wait to see how you’re going to work through all this high drama! You did warn us!!!!
I have been a silent reader for a while but I had to comment on this chapter. Why is Tina the victim? She started this whole thing by constantly being in Bette’s face disrespecting her relationship with Helena. Bette always gets the blame. Yes she did something stupid and hurtful but so did Tina. I really hope that Bette and Helena can work things out and I would love for Helena to tell off Tina for her role in all of this.
I have to agree with Shane when she said that Bette is a lot like her. The only differents between the two is that Shane accepts who she is and Bette won’t. Helena and Pam should just run away from Bette and Tina as fast as they can because nothing good can come from being with them.
Well i’m gonna say this…and let the masses hang me…fuck Helena and Tina…Yes Bette has responsibility here, but so do Tina and so does Helena. I think Bette should take Shane up on her hidden offer and just live the single life. Truth of the matter is…it sucks that everything Bette fucks up…no one is there for her…I have a couple of friends that have made major mistakes…did i abandon my friend because she slept with my other friend’s boyfriend? NO…i helped her though it and we all came out better in the end. Why is this group of friends so quick to pick sides? Anyway…great update Squirl! LOL
Bette is in big trouble…..first with the university….. this is an ETHICAL issue,(As a College dean, students think highly of her as a respectable person)…. then her relationship with her friends, Helena, Peggy and Tina….What about Angelica? this is not an appropriate behavior and a very bad example as a mother…. Does she even consider that Tina is the other mother of her daughter???? Why would she take advantage of Tina’s emotional state if she respected her as her daughter’s mother???? Granted that Tina initiated the act by kissing Bette first…. but let’s not forget that Tina waited for Bette’s reaction before she got lost in Bette’s arms( it’s not in Tina’s plan to seduce Bette and have sex with her….(Pls read the chapter)…. Bette gladly kiss back and did not hesitate to participate in kissing that turned into a sexual act. Tina is just expressing her feelings to Bette. got lost in Bette’s arms because she still is inlove w/ Bette…..I know this is a wrong place and a wrong thing for Tina to do, but if Bette stopped Tina before they actually commit sex and be honest admitting to her that she love and respect Helena too much that she cannot cheat on her, I don’t think Tina will forced herself to her….. So, she and Tina are both adult enough to participate in commiting this “crime”….Helena knows what she is in for when she started her relationship with Bette…. Let’s go back with history….Helena knows that Bette has unresolve issues with Tina due to her infidelity, therefore Tina becomes her lover and steal her from Bette….Bette had a broken relationship with Jody for some reasons….I feel sorry for helena, I honestly do, but I don’t think that she should trust Bette again….Trust is the foundation of any relationship and once broken, is not easy to mend & regain….. Why can’t Bette be honest and truthful to Tina that she is inlove with Helena and that she really moved on,…. Remember that Bette is the one who wanted to be in a monogamous relationship, but she is the one who cheated…..Bette should reflect and analyze what she really wanted….. She love Helena but she is lusting and still have feelings w/ Tina….. Helena gave her time to resolve her feeling with Tina but she did not fix it…she acted on it….. With Tina and Pam…I don’t think it is wise and ethically right for Tina to sleep with Pam after this incident. She just had sex with Bette….. It doesn’t sound mature…. Tina is still emotionally hurt after Bette telling her that what happened to them means “nothing”(thats gotta hurt)….If she ever feels like having sex with Pam, it maybe just a reaction of being hurt by Bette…. Pam should give Tina some time and space to think and reflect on what happened and not to have sex with her…. Tina is not in a right mind and emotion at this time, she is badly hurt by bette’s rejection. Whatever Tina’s impulsive reaction cause by hurt from Bette is not right at this moment…..The wound of rejection is very fresh…If Tina wants to move on and Pam wants the same…. both parties should wait for this present crisis to resolve before commiting in a relationship. They both have a history of being hurt…..I feel heartbroken for Bette,..my poor Bette…..she is lost, I don’t know what will happen to her…Pls make everything okey for all the characters…..pls..pls..pretty pls…Thanks for posting…very emotional chptr…:)
Squirl, a sign of an extroardinary writer is when you can pull readers in and engage them into the story. I’m torn in a few directions. I do think that Bette slipped up, BUT BUT BUT…..Tina was one little seductress, and depending where one is in their life, that can sink you sometimes! However, I have faith you will make it ALL right. I mean it is FICTION right? Isn’t it? LMAO! Brilliant job hun.
Oh yeah…way to go Pam & Tina…as for Bette? “still no ears’ to listen to Peggy’s advice”…’sorry’ doesn’t cut it Ms Porter and I really want for Helena to find ‘true love’…and the same for Tina…waiting for next update…very exciting story…answered the PM…Thx.
and I’m sorry folks but women can be as stupid, self-centered, hurtful and dumb as Bette Porter…I was with one…all those good looks etc make them think they can get away with practically murder…as I said previously, Bette Porter needs therapy and to leave Helena and Tina alone…they don’t need her stuffing their emotions & lives around. I hope she does get a severe reprimand from Phylis…maybe she needs to lose her job (again), hit rock bottom (again), have no framily (again) b4 she finally wakes up…that she has to take responsibility for HER actions …and I’m sick of her ‘pleading & I’m sorry’s’ and yet I still love JB’S PORTRAYAL OF THIS CHARACTER…as I do Laurel’s portrayal of Tina. YOUR STORY IS CONTROVERSIAL AND ENTERTAINING…Bring it on….
PANDAMEL…nothing personal here BUT how would you have reacted if your friend fucked with your lover/partner????? Peggy was right…it was Helena’s night to shine & Bette should have been there for her…if she was so in-love with Helena why succumb to Tina??? All she did was prove Tina & Helena right imo. And by my reading of that chapter ‘both’ we were in it…Bette was not raped. Yes, as someone said, Bette is a dirty horndog & that’s no excuse…turn this around to a hetero scenario & if we still excuse ‘the horndog’ then we are so buying into the hetero myth that men just can’t help themselves, women are the seductresses & therefore carry the blame/responsibility if the man gets all sexed up…sounds like very fundamentalist christian/muslim/roman catholic shit to me…where is the lesbian feminist analysis in such comments???? Make the analogy= condoning Bette’s horndog behaviour is like excusing the drunk driver who runs over the kid by saying ‘well, s/he was drunk so s/he’s not responsible’…yes, Bette got drunk on Tina but that is no excuse after all Bette’s the one in a relationship not Tina, Bette’s the one professing her love for Helena so she should have stayed faithful but Bette has a history of lying, cheating & playing the self-absorbed victim…BRILLIANT STORY SQUIRL.
ME AGAIN…I agree with ‘burberry’ but I don’t care if these women resolve their issues with one another. Imo, they should all on on because it’s just a big incestuous mess…yeah and what about Angelica????
I meant: ‘they should all move on because at this moment it’s just one big incestuous mess’.
well I’m in the Bette camp. Yes she makes mistakes, monumental ones, but out of confusion not malice. We all have to take responsibility for what we do however misguided & whatever is tempting or goading us & Bette does, once she realises it for herself. She believes she is the sole reason B/T failed but don’t get me started on season 3 Tina. As for her “family”, if they were true friends they would slap her upside the head but not abandon her. We have seen how this has crushed Bette before. If people tell you you are a bad person etc eventually will believe it. We don’t want Bette back in self destruct mode or taking midnight “swims”. This is all very bad for a Tibetter….
You know what amazes me having re read the comments above. We have all read the same words & yet see it in so many difference ways. Also, the talent shown on this site to these fictional characters that makes them more real & sparking such debates. I take my hat off to you guys.
Squirl, I told you we could turn your comments into a forum thread! What feelings and thoughts you have stirred up in this brilliant story! I think that no one can go blameless here, because it takes at least two–and in this case, three–to tango! Tina and Bette have made some lousy decisions–Tina’s was to discount the depth of Bette and Helena’s relationship, then even after seeing the love, she continued to push herself on Bette. Bette, in the meantime, was weak and succumbed to current horniness combined with old feelings for Tina. Poor Helena is caught in the crossfire once again and is rightfully devastated. Tina’s lack of respect for B & H’s relationship, combined with Bette’s lack of regard for Helena’s feelings, in spite of all of Helena’s pleadings that she be honest with her, created the disaster we currently have on our hands in your story! I commend you once again for having stirred up such a pot of mess here that is stimulating much thought and discussion!
BetteforTina-all valid points. No I’m not trying to lable Tina as a slut. She has been seeing Pam and already was considering being with you. They actually almost did their first date but they chose to wait. So imagine its been a few weeks. They are digging each other and not pressing the issue too much. Tina has a primary weakness for Bette. Things didn’t go so well in their recent encounter. I think she might be looking for a distraction. Stay tuned to see it she gets it beyond a night of dancing.BTW. Bette is not going to jump off any bridges although she is in a massive heap of trouble with all you mentioned. But she’s been there before hasn’t she. Hmmm. I still need to keep trying to get out of this corner.
Sorry major typo in first line. Tina was considering being with Pam not being with “you”.
Ok i love bette and tina together, but i think pam would be good for tina. please tina have some fun while bette goes to bury her head in the sand! Bette needs to open her eyes and clean up her mess, starting with helena and tina. nice update!!
my heart is so broken…i would never, not ever take bette back if i were helena (but alas, i’m not) how foul was that, so disappointed in b…very good update…just leaves me sad…i was so hoping for a happy belena ending..:-(
i don’t understand how tina is the victim here, she was the one to put all the moves on bette, not the other way around, bette’s just the horny dirty dog, i hope she is able to patch things up with helena!!!great job on this story!!!!!!!!
Hello Squirl, I agree with BeLena, but I don’t think the blame lies solely on both of Bette and Tina. I think that Helena should stand up and take her fair share, as much as Bette has put her through this crap, she came into this relationship fully aware of Bette’s feelings, I believe at one point she even told Bette that she would hurt her, she should have listened to her own feelings, to stay way. She allowed her own desire’s and naivety of Bette to cloud her judgment, she should have stayed on course and separated herself from Bette until her issues were dealt with and if they ended up together then so be it. I still feel that when the emotions finally hit Bette in between the eyes she is going to become extremely depressed, separating herself from everyone in her life, add onto that the fact that her job is in jeopardy and we all know how that went before for her, she is going to be in so very deep. I don’t think attempting to take her own life will be that far out of the question. The question will be when all the dust settles who is going to be there for Bette cause at this moment she really can’t count on her family for what she has done to them with this last act of betrayal. This is just getting better and better. Sincerely, JC
I’ll always be a BnT supporter but I do like Pam! I think they’d be good for each other….in the short term anyways! Great chapter….can’t wait for the night to continue!!! he he he he PPS
Bette is notall to blame here, it was Tina who led her on and seduced her. Ok she should have been stronger and pushed Tina away and made it clear to her once and for all their relationship is over and done with. I really hope Helena finds the strength to forgive Bette if they ever get back together and I also hope Bette will finaly make a decision who it is she wants to be with cuz this is getting ridiculous. Great update can’t wait for more.
What a mess… and Bette’s looking like the loser all around. Helena has fled, Tina’s decided she’s gonna move on, Phyllis wants to rake her over the coals, Peggy and all of Bette’s friends are very disappointed in her… boy, Bette has really messed up badly. What’s she going to do? I hope she can make things right with everyone, and herself. Great post, Squirl. Thanks
Hey Squirl ! And again, an interesting chapter. Now, I must say I don’t think Pam is the solution to Tina’s problem. She can certainly help her forget Bette for a few of hours, but that’s all it will be and it won’t solve anything. As for Bette, well, of course I hope she at least will get to talk to Helena in order to apologize, but I’m afraid her indiscretion put the nail in the coffin of their relationship, that’s why I do believe she should at least try to salvage what’s left with Tina. Besides, she’s been very unfair to her as well and she hasn’t done a thing to try and apologize for her behavior to Tina yet. Oh, come on Bette, don’t blow it this time ! Get your shit together. This is great drama, Squirl !!! So thrilling !! I can’t wait to read your next chapter.
hehe, that was greeeeeat! ok, fantastic points: shane’s little comparison between herself and bette, BANG on! i’ve often thought that myself. except, i kinda think that bette is a bit more interested in relationships–well obviously, but she wants one, so she should just be with the right one. anyhoo, if i were helena, i’d take her back. but i’d make her beg and grovel and make it up to me proper. and this is not me being obsessive about RS or helena’s character, this is just me acknowledging that bette as a character sometimes needs those wakeup calls, she needs a crisis like this. but she should stop drinking away her sorrows, on the show at least. oh, and what else…lol@mr. dogg. pps squirl, this is getting really exciting!
Painful, my girls are in pain. Do something about it please, thanks. PPS
You know, I’m having a hard time seeing Bette as this confused and hurtful woman she is being portrayed as. Nobody is that stupid and insensitive to do the things she has been doing. This is so totally self destructive on Bettes part, and if this is truly how she is in this story, then I think her friends and Tina, maybe even Helena should be very worried about her, not shun her, because she needs help! I can’t see anything good coming for her, and she is really all alone right now. This is not the Bette Porter I am familiar with.
At this point I don’t know who I want who, I just know I want to keep on reading!! Thanks!
Yikes this was one big Bette bashing fest! It doesn’t look like it’ll get better anytime soon either. Don’t know how she’ll be able to make up for this one, but I hate how everyone’s on Tina’s side in this. She is no innocent party by any means. She knew the score and still deliberately set out to destroy Bette’s relationship with Helena in some misguided attempt at reconciling with Bette. Yes Bette messed up big time but somebody has to be on her side.
OK Squirl – No my question is what is Tina thinking? I’m all about moving on to the next hot thing to get over a broken heart, but we are talking about what, 2 hours tops since Tina was w/ Bette. Not to be cruel but you seem to be tagging Tina w/ the slut card. As for Bette………GHEESH. I’m suprised Peggy even spoke to her. Peggy gave her some great advice about letting Helena cool off, but of course Bette is to dense to take that advice. I mean if she finds Helena there is no expalantion in the world that Helena could accept that would make her forgive Bette for her latest indiscretion. I’m thinking it’s time for Bette to jump off a cliff (or the closest bridge…lol). At this point she’s lot her gf (Helena), her ex (Tina), her friends (Alice), her job (Phyllis), her mentor (Peggy) and her self respect! Did I miss anything? I agree w/ your gf, you’ve written yourself into a tizzy and this chapter is a good start but I’m still anxious to see where you go from here. Feel free to steal my idea about Bette jumping off a cliff (LOL). Oh and by far my favorite line of this chapter came from Shane, “You know Bette, this is why I don’t commit.” Wow, that was one big fat I told you so. Just what Bette needed to hear in her time of shame and regret…..PPS!
I am enjoying to commentary from the readers and their apparent angst and strong opinios. I am trying to stayout of any public opinions because I do want to let the pot stew. This chapter was written so quickly and I am surprised at how much emotion it has stirred but I think it is still the remnants of the last chapter, the betrayal. Great assessment Arr. Thanks for compliments
