Tina, gets off the sofa and goes to Bette. She kneels and hugs Bette’s waist and cries in her lap. Bette simply smooths Tina’s hair in an effort to comfort her. They stay this way for about 5 minutes before Tina slowly lifts her head and stares into Bette’s eyes. They just look at each other for a moment before Tina retreats to her seat.
Tina: I didn’t mean to fall apart on you liked that.
Bette: I’ve never liked to see you cry.
Tina: You’ve given me so many reasons not to cry this week. I’m sorry I put such damper on things. Just know that I am sincere. I love you Bette. I made some grave mistakes, but have been working on ways to never do those stupid and mean spirited things again. I did not mean to belittle you and trample on your self worth. You mean the world to me and I lost site of that. I knew that before you left and if I’m honest being with Josh ultimately was my sick way retaliating against you. I essentially told you I didn’t want you or need you, then I blamed you for leaving. I justified Josh by blaming you. I know I was being ridiculous, but at the time that was how my petty mind worked. Even Helena tried to warn me both before you left as well as before I took that step with Josh. I was arrogant; I wouldn’t even listen to her. She told me you were moving to New York. In my crazy head I assumed you were going to do some part time work and remain in the LA area, I couldn’t believe that you’d leave Angelica. I never intended to find her another parent, you have always been her Momma. Even before she was born you were her mother Bette. I realize that I may have done too much damage to get you back, but being Angelica’s mother isn’t negotiable. The two are separate Bette, Angelica isn’t a pawn.
Bette: Why did you lock me out of the house?
Tina: Anger that you’d rejected me again. Anger that you were making decisions for me. Access to the house was something I could contol and deny you, I was being petty and spiteful.

Date night? Presumptuous much, T? Your writing is really great, but your Tina upsets me. After how long she made Bette beg after Candace, it seems like she’s expecting to have Bette just give her a chance so easily, when she was so much more hurtful towards her. I hope they make it, but only for Bette and Angie’s sakes, not for Tina, who doesn’t deserve such a great partner
I’m with jikes. It seems Tina is thinking Bette will cave and things can go back to the way she (Tina) wants it. Hope Bette hangs tough and helps Tina realize that the degree of pain she put Bette through can’t be undone by a smile and a “sorry”. Thanks for posting tonight – such an unexpected treat! PPS.
Will be interesting to see what happens from here…. thanks for writing it!
Well, I liked the fact that they are talking honestly and civily. There is nothing to be gained by two people who still love each other artificially holding up barriers. Each of them “earn” there way back to each other by being honest with themselves and honest with each other and create new rules between them to move forward. You are telling your story very well Lwsho…I am really enjoying it.
Great story. At least they are both open to the possibilty of working thing out. An as in real life it’s good to be careful to work through issues that have been allowed to destroy a realtionship. It’s good to see that being played out in this story. A day at a time.
at least they are talking. Tina really hurt Bette, especiay when she had Josh in their house that was meant. But their need each other. just love yur story. PPVS
love this.. and baby steps is good… i know they are going to make it.. pps
That was great and can’t wait to see more !
The road back is bumpy and eraught with potholes and turns; B needs T and vice versa.
Another great update – thank you :) Can’t wait to see what happens next. Thank you for this story :)
I hope the open communication continues and things stay positive. Please post very soon!
I’m glad they’re starting to talk about what happened. It feels like Tina is talking the brunt of their breakup. It takes problems with both partners for things to get as bad as they did and I don’t think we’re seeing Bette’s role. I guess the fact that Bette up and left without communicating her thoughts and intentions with Tina is an indication of how withdrawn she was from the relationship which I think Tina sensed. She is being portrayed as having only good intentions by making her move but I think she had some selfish/revenge type motivations as well. Maybe through their continued discussions and their therapy sessions some of these things will come to light and she’ll start taking some of the responsibility for the demise of their relationship. Then they can really move forward in healing.
Amazing Chapter!!! B&T talking is always good. I am a frim beleaver that it takes two to kill a marriage and two to fix it. I hope that B&T make in your story and Tina will move to N.Y., but she needs to give it time and alot off it. Thanks PPVS
