    Author Notes:

    Bette tries to fix things for Tina. Post S6.

     

     

    Bette poured her coffee and sat down wearily at the kitchen table, scanning the newspaper headlines without interest. She was tired. Happy enough, but tired. Maybe it was the lack of working out, a ritual that always kept her spirits up, or all the stress she had been under, or a heightened sense of her own mortality, but she was feeling… old.

     

    She drank her coffee, hot and black, and hoped it would give her a much needed jolt of energy to face the rest of the day. With so much upheaval and emotional strain in her life lately, not even having Tina at her side to face it all was enough to keep her from dreading whatever might happen next.

    She was tired of things happening to her. She was never one to be passive and just roll with whatever the fates decided to dish out. She liked to be pro-active.

    Tina had been so supportive over the last few days, and now she was stressed too, with their friends’ strange behavior and Shane… Shane’s attitude bothered her the most. There was no reason why Shane shouldn’t hand over the film negatives. Bette pondered the various motives Shane could have for withholding them, but concluded that her friend, even in misguided loyalty, was being ridiculous. She had to convince Shane to give them up. Bette felt a course of action forming.

    Since Tina had been there for her, it was her turn to be there for Tina. It was only right that the negatives be turned over to the rightful owners. She ignored the vague doubts over whether the studio could truly claim ownership of the film, since it had been Jenny’s creation, from start to finish. But Bette was hardly champing at the bit to have a movie starring a thinly-disguised version of herself released, along with the attendant publicity. A renewed round of interest in Lez Girls was the last kind of attention she needed, especially now. Then again, it wasn’t likely that the movie would be released any time soon… By the time the film came out, they would be safely ensconced in New York, living their new life in the relative anonymity of Manhattan. It wouldn’t be so bad.

    2. Oh my goodness, Bette should have told Tina what she was going to do. Bette could also have taken te attery out of the damned telephone and closed that chapter. Let’s see what happens next. Thanks for posting.

    3. wow shane is really angry. sweet of bette to try and do this for tina. shanes belated loyalty to jenny, which she thinks shes doing by keeping the film – after months of passive aggressive behavior and so many mistakes – then blaming bette for the police’s suspicions – seem misguided. understandable but misguided. very interesting how this is all unfolding for bette and tina. thank you omalley and post soon

    5. Talking about loyalty, dear Shane, loyalty for a friend should be given especially when the said friend is alive, with feelings and who’se been a loyal friend as well, not when that friend is already dead, manipulative and obsessive like what Jenny was to everyone. When Shane F**k Nicki, Shane never thought of being loyal to Jenny inspite of knowing that Jenny and nicki were together. Now she is playing as a loyalist to a cold dead friend who couldn’t feel anymore. Another thing is what about her loyalty to Bette and Tina who’se been there for her even before met Jenny???. huh Shane? and what is Max’s problem, is she hormonal??? and what hormone is that??? Why is Bette so scared of Shane?, she’s not guilty.

    7. Welcome back. Man this is all screwed up. Shane basically blackmailing Bette, and Bette trying desperately to get the negatives back for Tina. Just a bad situation all around.

    9. Hey Omalley! I just read your chapter after being away for a while, so it was nice to see your post when I start catching up on my reading. Well, it’s pretty obvious that Shane and Max have judged and convicted Bette without even confronting her with it. Some friends…if I was Bette, I’d be remembering this for a long time. If Shane was truly a loyal friend she would have asked Bette outright if she had done the deed. Maybe Bette and Tina really do need to leave LA and all that’s with it behind.

    11. Oh, I’m so glad you’re back. Wow – they all think Bette killed Jenny. I wonder if Jenny recorded their little “chat” on the balcony and Shane found it. Why else would Shane be so angry at Bette?

    12. I was just thinking about you today…wondering where you were…and wah-lah…you appeared!!! Yeah!!! Missed you O’malley. Well written…you can feel the tight tension between Bette and Shane. The depiction of loyalty by Shane, is very much in line with her character. In a way, surprised that Bette went for the jugular (ratting out), but you know how to throw drama in there for us. You have me holding my breath to see what happens next…PPS!

    15. I’m so glad you’re back! I wonder what the heck is up with everyone. Okay, so maybe they think Bette had something to do with Jenny’s death, but wouldn’t they be nice to Tina then? I’m confuzzled here, so I hope you post very, very, very soon. :) Also, that conversation between Shane and Bette… jeesh, you could feel the tension!

    16. The pod people have come! Max is a hormonal mess… I can smell his unhappiness from here. I think the pregancy and grieving are taking their toll. He needs a shower, and a hug. In that order. As for Shane… I’d like to know why she’s being so staunchly defensive of Jenny’s actions now. She was pretty much done with Jenny after she found Molly’s letter, wasn’t she? Is it just simple guilt that’s causing all this? I do like that she stood up to Bette, though. Shane usually tries hard to please everyone, so this is interesting that she’s standing her ground. We’ll see what happens there, though. I hope their friendship isn’t damaged by this. Great update, and more soon, yeah? Thanks!

    17. Okay, I’ve caught up. I love your stories so and as much as I have been pretty successful at pretending Season 6 never happened I really like this story. I hope the end of Jenny’s video sheds some light on the situation. Jenny has orchestrated the demise of our friends and no matter how they try they can’t seem to break the cycle. ICs got nothin on you. Painful and tense but I can’t wait for the next post. Thanks….

    19. It seems like Bette didn’t try hard enough and just let Shane manipulate her in to silence with that video. If Bette truly is innocent on all counts she should have called Shane’s bluff instead of listening to her crap on loyalty. Bette and Tina have been there for her for so long and she goes and shows her loyalty to someone who had been causing problems in everyone’s lives, including her own. What kind of loyalty is that? Also, wasn’t it really Nikki whole stole the negatives anyway? I wish it would come out so Shane can feel like an asshole for attempting to “speak” forJenny.
