“Bette,” Tina began, still looking down at her nails. “Did you see Jenny last night, before she was found?”
Bette’s face twitched and she felt like the wind had been knocked out of her. “What are you saying, Tina?”
Tina looked up and met Bette’s eyes then, her gaze steady. “Answer the question, Bette.”
“You’re asking me if I… how could you ask me such a thing?”
“I don’t know what’s going on, Bette. You’ve been lying to me for weeks – weeks – because you didn’t trust me. You thought I would take Jenny’s word over yours. You thought I would take Angie, and leave. You assumed the worst of me. I’m just returning the favor.”
Bette shook her head. “There are some things that you don’t say, Tina.”
“Yeah, and there are some things that you don’t do, Bette. Like cheating.”
“I didn’t do it!” Bette exploded. “I didn’t!”
Tina paused, looking passively at Bette. “Is there anything else you’d like to add? Have you told me everything about this Kelly… thing?” Her tone was cool – detached, even.
“Yes. Tina, I…” Bette trailed off, not knowing how to finish.
Tina held her gaze for a moment, saying nothing, then looked away. “Right. I’m going to take a shower and get Angelica ready for the day.” She stood and went into the suite’s bathroom and shut the door. After a few seconds, Bette heard the click of the lock being turned. The sound made her heart quail. Tina never locked the door. There was a long silence, then the sound of water running.
Bette stayed where she was. She was tired, exhausted. All the relief that had come from finally telling the truth had evaporated, swept away by Tina’s reaction, which had been like a kick in the face. She supposed she shouldn’t have expected anything different, but all the same, she had hoped for it.
She rubbed her eye with the heel of her hand and took some steadying breaths, trying unsuccessfully not to replay the conversation they’d just had. Then the tears came, like a faucet she couldn’t turn off. She cried profusely, but in silence, slightly rocking back and forth. The pain in her heart intensified. Bette slid down the headboard and curled down under the duvet, wracked with nearly noiseless sobs. How could it have gone so wrong? She’d made a mess of things, of course; every choice she’d made seemed to have worsened the situation.

Great post. Poor Bette. Did you like have some pages missing????? What a cliffhanger.
Oh, what a freakin’ mess. And I think it will even get messier once that piece of information Bette is witholding gets revealed. Thanks for another nail-biter, omalley! Can’t wait to read the next installment so PPS. :>
damn. good chapter :)
I feel terrible for Bette!
Poor Bette, no matter what she does it’s never right. Really good update Omalley! That was a wicked cliff hanger though…hope we get an update soon.
You’re not going to leave me hanging…… are you???????? Poor Bette, she always seems to get Fu**ed. I guess in Tina’s eyes, once a cheat always a cheat. So Bette will never be off the hook, through Tina’s eyes or anyone else. Great update. Please post soon.
I’m surprised Tina didn’t give Bette the benefit of the doubt. And what is this other thing that Kit knows? Now you’ve got us all on edge!

Poor Bette,she is always in trouble. One step forward and three backward. pps/
that was really cruel to leave us there :) what a mess. i hope tina comes back soon and talks to bette. PPS!
This story has me on the edge of my seat!!!! Thanks!
OMG! You left me hanging there! Your writing flows as smoothly as silk. It’s a joy to read, even if the substance of it is tortuous! A quiet Tina is an ominous Tina. I’m scared! Thanks!
Just read all four chapters and can’t wait to see where you go with the next chapter. My heart goes out to Bette, even though she’s made her bed… Excellent, omalley.
Damn! Love the drama and the angs…I feel realy bad for Bette and hope Tina returns to talk things out with her before things get out of hand…so looking forward to the next one Omalley. Thanks a bunch for the update :)
Oh no, what else is Bette not telling Kit or Tina about? This is a bad situation for all involved. I hope that it all works out soon for the sake of the Porter-Kennard family.
Good grief, that went completely and utterly pear-shaped for Bette, didn’t it? Tina’s hurt and pissed off, Kit’s dropped her in it, and now there’s this “something else” which has me very worried… You must, must, *must* post soon. Please? Thanks for the chapter, this story is really good. And PPS!
DUM…dum…dummmmmmmm…… Oh the excitement is building!!! LOL…. I can’t stand Bette’s heartbreak….tooo sad… eager to learn what the something else is… great update… :)
I think Tina does trust / believe bette about kelly BUT she is really mad that bette kept it inside for so long. This was an issue in season 1 and to Tina this could mean bette going back to her past ways of not opening up. I also think Tina is on her way to confront Kelly and possibly look for and find a copy of video to see for herself. Bette needs to stop keeping stuff inside.
I’m not sure who to feel the most sorry for at this point. Angie I guess since she is in the middle of a storm and doesn’t even know it nor would she understand it. She will only know that her mother’s are unhappy for some reason and that it makes her unhappy. Jenny should have butted out of this and if she thought something she should have kept it to herself. After all, she was guilty of stealing the movie and lying to Tina about it and she lied to Shane or at the very least kept the truth from her, all the while trying to have a relationship with Shane built on a lie. I only hope Tina will try to understand that Bette really did not have an affair with Kelley. Maybe Tina will confront Kelley and hopefully the lying redhead will tell the truth to Tina at least. Then again, she wants Bette even if Bette doesn’t want her. Maybe Tina can put 2 and 2 together and come up with the right answer. Can hardly wait for the next post to see how all this is handled. Great post. As for Tina questioning Bette about Jenny, I don’t believe that Bette killed Jenny, I sure hope not. I think Jenny just fell accidently to her death by raching for the railing that was not there. PPS
What’s the other thing that happened? You couldn’t have stopped there you forgot a page right :) Please post soon! It’s going to be ok right with Bette and Tina. You’re going to make it right. Great story by the way :)
I feel so bad for Bette. I sure hope something goes her way soon. pps
