Bette: I do love Angelica and will have a permanent hole in my heart for her loss, but if she has a better life, then it is the right decision.
Alice: (In tears) This just isn’t right, she gets to decide you’re out just like that? Takes your daughter just like that? There has to be something we can do.
Bette: There is, it’s called the Do Nothing Strategy. It is done Alice. I’ve struggled with this for a while, but now it all makes sense. That’s not to say I’m done with my tears and heartache, but my head gets it and you know with me, that goes a long way.
Bette: Now I brought you hear under the guise of celebration. I do actually finally have a job and deserve a toast. Now Tina doesn’t know about my new job or my new address and it is important to me that you share neither with her, now is not the time. So lift up those glasses and toast the new Director of the Whitney Museum!
Alice: In New fucking York?!
Bette: Yup, movers come this week and I start in 10 days. I’ll be staying at Kit’s until I leave town. Kit and I are actually going to take a short trip up the coast.
Shane: Who will watch Angelica?
Bette: In the short term, Angus. Tina will have to decide what she wants to do over the long term. I’ve also booked Sonya for the short term to help her out. But it will be Tina’s daughter and house, those decisions are hers to make. I am certain she’ll need her friends and even in this case you need to be friends for both of us. We both need you.
Bette: Now, I know New York isn’t what any of us wished for, but given the circumstances it may be exactly what I need and I’d like your support in going. Once I have that we can get this party started.
Shane: Yes, we are here to party, congratulations Bette.
Tasha: You go girl.
Alice: I don’t like this Bette, but I love you and I get it.
Meanwhile back at the house Tina is a mess.
Fuck Bette she thinks she can run my life. I don’t need her damn permission to see men. How dare she promise me that we’d be parents together then just abandon me? How dare she? I really don’t need this dye drama anyway. Heck, if I can hook the hottest lesbian in West Hollywood and have a young Josh Becker drooling I will get me a man then get to take care of my baby the way she promised. Why can’t I know where she’s working or where she’s living, she’s running from me, no doubt about it. Well you know what Bette Porter, you don’t care about me or my baby then fuck you and the broom you rode in on you bitch. Hmm, this is my house well guess what I’ll have those locks changed and a new alarm code programmed before I leave for work tomorrow. You don’t need to come in you don’t have a baby here, no mail, and your precious clothes. (Tina goes to Bette’s closet finds it practically empty. Pulls open the dresser draws, same, just a few items. She scans the room then runs out to the lounge, all of the photos of the two of them are gone. She then makes the final check, Bette’s nightstand drawer, she slowly opens the drawer to discover Bette’s wedding band in there, right next to hers. Tina never resumed wearing her ring when she moved back in. Tina just curls up into a ball and cries.)

LOts of hatred and anger on Tina’s part. How did it get so, so bad?
I think Tina is shocked, feels betrayed, Bette has processed over time, Tina is blindsided. She comes home from work and finds her life is being dismantled. She still loves Bette, just not sure Bette is the right choice anymore and now Bette has made that decision for her. I’m not sure where this “inspiration” came from nor if its going forward, but we’ll see. The desire for men at that time in the relationship had to be devastating for Bette. IC gave us one path, here is another, not sure how thorny it will be.
Hmm, looks like in this case, Bette’s not the only one who can be considered self-involved and have their head up their ass.?! While Bette’s iteration of the realizations she’s come to and the actions she’s taken may have come off abrupt to Tina (and me), I feel she’s doing what needs to be done in this situation. Up until recently, I had only seen some snippets of s3 on youtube, but thanks to LOGO I’ve seen the edited version of a few eps and I can safely say all the stuff with B&T broke my heart…this tale is doing a good job with that too, however I’m not going anywhere and very curious to see where you take our girls?? Thx & PPVS!!
What a nightmare. There they go again, doing things without talking to each other first. Great chapter. Please continue.
WOW! Lots of drama indeed. I hope to read more soon. Thx
Wow….that was powerful! You did a great job expressing both Bette and Tina’s feelings equally. I don’t think it is a matter of taking sides or who was more wrong than the other. I just think it’s important to understand where they are both emotionally coming from in order to understand where your story will take us. Wonderfully written and I look forward to more.
My goodness, such venom from Tina. What the hell did she think Bette would do, let her continue having feelings for men, date Josh Becker or any other man of her choosing and continue to have cybersex with Daddyoftwo. My only wish was that they had agreed to separate but not make the break permanent until Tina decided that Bette was no longer the person for her, they need the wiggle room to take those decisions back and resume their relationship. Also I understand how Bette felt when Tina told her all that, she was particularly devasted because it is her “T” doing all this which she never expected. And as much as it hurts, I do want to see where you take this. It will be very interesting. We’ve missed your writing and thanks for posting this new story.
What a mess hey. I can’t blame Bette really even if she stated this by cheating in the first place. it’s hurt to see them like that. I am still hopping to a better ending. PPVs
Oh Wow! No words – just that! can’t wait to see what happens. Thank you!
WELCOME BACK!!!! It’s strange isn’t it how we can go along and not feel a story in our head, and then all of a sudden, pow! it’s there and you feel you have to write it?!! Glad you are back, and I look forward to reading the rest of your story. Thanks!!
I can’t believe Tina is feeling betrayed. After all of her behavior did she really think that Bette wasn’t going to reach a breaking point? We know that they may well find their way back to each other, but Bette seems to have made a logical choice at the moment.
I kept you as a favorite and will not be changing that. Please continue and tell it like it should have been told in the damn first place. Welcome back!
season 3 broke my heart. tina made me so mad…i was hoping bette would do something like that (even though i was a tibetter) tina wanted her cake and eat it too. bette is doing what she needs to do to survive. i am sure she thought long and hard about it and it is killing her to leave either of them. can’t wait to read more.
oh well. One partner always leaves ’emotionally’ a long time before they physically up and leave. Usually the more intellectually secure person reachs the decision to leave and prepares their exit plan just like Bette has done because an intelligent person can only take so much ‘abuse’ and that’s what T has been dishing for 2 years by the sounds of this. Bette has done the right thing for her and maybe in this case for Angelica because it appears that T has a lot of hate spewing out there…some of it self-hate possibly feeling rejected and ugly since B cheated on her. Very sad situation cuz I love them both but very real the way u’ve portrayed it. I will be following this. Thx for writing.
This is sad and drama!
Ugh im already hating this soooo kuch in other words that I mean I love this as well, damn b I hate when Tina and Bette break uo or fight
