Stars Collide: A Bette/Tina Story Chapter 21
Chapter 20: Tina’s Heartache
Yale University, Yale, Seventeen years ago, Tina’s POV
I had spent the rest of the weekend at the cabin; I needed time to process the fact that Bette was gone. I had not slept, drunk or eaten for nearly a week. Alice had showed me a letter that Bette had wrote explaining what had happened. The gangs’ hearts broke but they knew they just had to get on with it but I just couldn’t. Alice and the gang tried their best to comfort and cheer me up with no success. To make matters worse, my parents had come for a visit. Between the fighting and the bickering they also tried their best to comfort me, again with no avail.
“We’re going clubbing on Saturday if you wanna come?” I didn’t respond to Alice’s question immediately. The last thing I wanted to do was go to the club where Bette and I had admitted our feelings and shared our first kiss but I knew it would be good for me to get out of the apartment for a while
“Why not” My friends had noticed I had become cold and distant. I had several pieces of work a day overdue. I also placed a request for myself to move into Bette’s old apartment. I needed to be close to her, I needed to feel her
“OK we’ll pick you up about seven” I just nodded. I knew they were all worried about me and the path I was beginning to walk down, they had every right to be. I was losing myself and I didn’t know whether I had the strength or even if I wanted to pull myself back.
Tina’s apartment, Yale University, 17 years ago
My request to move into Bette’s old apartment was granted and I had begun to move my stuff in. It had been two days since Alice extended the invite to go clubbing with her and the others. I was nervous about being seen in public especially in the lesbian scene but part of me was also raring to get out in public and have the chance to be surrounded by beautiful women looking for some fun. It was that part of myself I was to act on that next night and every night for seventeen years

Sighs, this is what happens when the love of your life leaves you behind. Poor Tina, what made her snap out of that spiral though? And what will Bette think when she finds out about that cycle of destruction? Will she blame herself? Thanks for the update and PPVS! =))
Wonder if Bette knows Tina did these things for all those years. Hope they can have a great reunion and be in each other’s lives again. They still love each other, at least I hope so. Seventeen years is a very long time to hold on to a love in absentia. Thanks for posting.
dont leave ussssssssi wanna see the reunion :(
Awe bettetina09, I could totally feel Tina’s pain and need for obilivion. Tina’s heart is in pieces and now she is wrecking her way through countless one-night stands in a vain attempt to feel something real. Something similar to the emotions she had with Bette. Shame is that a love like theirs cannot easily be replaced. Yes, there may be others who make life worthwhile however them can never match what was once lost.Now seventeen years later there is a hope to bring these irstwhile lover together again. I can’t wait to read more.Bettetina09 thank you so mcuh for sharing this gift with me.Your Loyal Fan.
