Chapter 3
“Okay, we need a hotel, like one of those with a kitchen and a living room. You know a place where you can rest up a bit. The doctor said you should be okay to travel in a few days, so we need a place to figure things out.”
They drove around a while and then Alice pulled into the parking lot of a Homewood Suites. Tina took the hand of her friend and smiled.”
“How can I ever thank you for this Alice.”
“One more thank you or apology from you TK and I’ll ….oh I don’t know…sing…That’s it I’ll sing every Barry Manilow song I know. Over and over and over…”
“Point taken…”
“We’re family. You’ve always been there for me.”
“Yeah, great friend I’ve been for the last 2 years, too weak, too scared to even call…I’m sorry Al”
“Let’s go check in.”
“Al, would you mind if I waited here while you get the room. You know, I don’t know if I’m up for all the prying eyes.”
Alice looked at her friend.
“Of course, I’m sorry Tina, I should have suggested that. I’ll be right back.”
Alice settled Tina in for a nap and went out for supplies. She pulled into a strip mall and pulled out her phone to call Shane.
“Shane. Hi it’s me.”
“No shit Al. How the fuck are you? How the fuck is Tina? I’ve been sick to my stomach with worry.”
“Chill out Gramma.”
“Sorry Al, I’ve just been so worried.”
“Well so far all is better than I hoped. She’s hurt but not broken. She hasn’t said she’d come back with me but she hasn’t said she wouldn’t. I mentioned it and she didn’t protest.”
“Al what happened to her?”
“Apparently the guy she’s been living with…He really did a number on her Shane.”
“When do you think you’ll be home?”
“3 or 4 days, the doctor suggested we wait until she heals up some. Shane, she’s so thin and she looks like she was hit by a Mack truck….”
Alice started to cry.
“Al, you can do this. I’m on my way to the airport. I’m booked on a flight tonight at 7:00. Where are you?”
“Shane, Thank you….She said she was really drunk when this happened. I think that’s what’s been going on. I think she’s been living like this for a while.”

So glad you posted so soon. I’m torn. I love how the pace of the story is giving me a glimpse of how it could have been if Tina did up and leave. And I love this Tina. She’s made mistakes but she’s trying to find her way back. Great that Alice and Shane have got her back. But. How soon will Bette find her again? I’m dying to find out when…how…esp how soon? Tina and Bette just need to come home to each other again. Thanks for posting. As always, can’t wait for the next chappy.
hah, sooo interesting! I think I have already developped an addiction to this story…
Gosh this is terrible!!! I hate women beater. Tina please don’t give him any escuse. Violence never anything response. He can’t get away with this. Can’t wait to see what the family and friend would do to him VERY soon lol. PPVS
DnA, this is a very compelling story..
This is will be a very interesting story. Will Tina return to her former home and friends or will she continue to run.
Please dont let Tina be pregnant by this asshole. It will rip our(Alice, Shane, Bette, Tina and Me) hearts OUT. So, D, I’ll send you a whole dollar if you dont make that happen. NO bebe for Tina. Ok, two whole dollars. Oh, and PLEASE dont have Bette hooked up with the she-devil herself, Jodie. I’ll make it 5 whole dollars.
brwnsuga, you read my mind and upped the ante. lol. okay, you heard her D&A. You’ve got 5 bucks riding on this! thanks for the posts (and for the nice ending to “Starting Over”). :)
this is heartbreaking
Wow! This is going to tear Bette up.
What a great friend Alice is. Now she needs to get Tina back to LA and into Bette’s arms, right? LOL. Great story. PPS!
Well I´m with brwnsuga and I´ll throw a couple of Euro´s on the pile of persuasion.
Im really really loving this story.
I`m with brwnsuga too.Bette and Tina will fix this mess.
Great, you answered my questions why they were apart. But why didn’t Alice tell Tina what Bette was now doing. Hopefully she has left Candace but Lord please don’t let her be with jl., I can’t even write her name without seething, I dislike her so much, I’ve never seen her in anything that she wasn’t arrogant as hell. Can’t wait to see what happens next. Thanks for posting.
whoa, 2 drunks attack each other? No matter what TK, he had NO RIGHT to bash u. Guess he was one of those freaks who really preferred her drunk!!! Al and Shane need to get T outa Dodge quick smart. And why was Bette at Candy’s the night T went looking for her-if she really wanted to fix things with T??? Thx for the shout out. Great on the edge of my seat story. Plz update soon.
Hey D&A, I hope it was cathartic for Tina to finally tell a friend everything she had been through the last couple of years.Tina has been a rudderless boat on choppy seas. Bashing from one place to another without concern for herself.It is a real shame that she has hit the bottom of this barrel with such a physical bump although now she has her friends around the sky is clearing and a safe voyage can be sailed.Even after everythign Tina has been through she is able to talk about Bette. Yes, the hurt is still there which means there is hope. Hope that these gals heal together and rediscover their love. It is there just buried under the anguish and pain of betrayal.I am sure Alice and Shane will get the ball rolling and bring Tina back to LA. The rest of the journey is what I am looking forward to.Many thanks for this new twist.Your Loyal Fan.
Loving this story. Thank you.
what the fuck Tina, she must really love Bette to the depth of her soul to let their departure destroy her like this omg!
