A Journey Long Overdue Chapter 13
”Hey Mom, can you come up and help me?” Angie broke Tina’s thoughts with her shout.
”Yea, I’m coming.” Tina put the wooden box back in with the other items and headed upstairs.
**********
Angie had been gone a week, when Tina received a call from Ms. Turner, the Counselor in charge of the Art Camp that Angie was attending. Tina was surprised to learn that Jordi was also at the camp and apparently the two had been ditching classes to run around the city. Ms. Turner had informed Tina, that she was sending the girls home early. The camp was not set up to chase the youth around the city. The youth were given the responsibility to manage their time and classes, but the camp was not going to be responsible for youth that were not attending the camp activities or following rules.
Tina got a call from Angie letting her know when she would be arriving. Tina told her they would talk when she got back. Bette had warned Tina about Jordi’s negative influence on Angie and now she saw why Bette was so concerned. Tina knew Bette would not be happy if Tina delayed telling her about this latest incident with Angie and Jordi. They had developed a cordial emailing exchange when discussing Angie, but this was different. She took a deep breath and texted Bette informing her of what had happened. To Tina’s surprise, Bette called right back.
Tina could hear a slight edge in Bette’s voice, getting right to the issue without even saying hello. ”I can’t believe Angie didn’t tell us that Jordi was going. What was that kid thinking?”
Tina took the situation a little more in stride, teenage behavior that needed redirecting. Tina remembered some of the antics she did when she was Angie’s age. ”Bette, calm down,” Tina said hesitantly. ”Nobody got hurt. I told Angie we would talk to her when she got home. I think we need to do this one together. What do you think?”
”T…Tina, what should we say. I mean, I agree, I can Skype in to be part of the talk, that’s not a problem. This Jordi thing? I don’t think we can tell Angie to stop seeing her, I mean, I don’t want to set up a situation where she continues to lie to us.”

What’s up with Bette? I love this story. Please post again soon.
SuperK
Still now sure about your story. Trying to stick with it. Curious – unless you know something that most others do not, Laurel’s availability has not been announced. And how would that influence your story? Plus we do not even know the longevity of the show. I know you are trying to base your story on the new show but there is so very little known. It seems to me that from Tina announcing her engagement to Carrie forward you have a blank slate to do what you want. Helena is not even in the new show. You have lots of room to play. Do you not agree? Also please don’t have Bette be seriously ill or an alcoholic. Thanks.
Billy,
So very true, about the show. I am having fun with innuendo, scraps and gong from there. I have a blank slate and what I do will be I am sure very different from the show. It is all in fun.
Thanks!!!’ Appreciate your reply. Innuendo, scraps and gong is a good thing! Have fun.
Your story is a little place of haven for me too. I can’t believe you just leaving us hanging like that? Please post soon! Like tomorrow? :)
Thank you for the chapter!
Is Bette ill? Tiring to much, pale – i guess it’s possible.
Don’t like Jordie influence on Angie. Maybe you can rid of her?
And in the last – about Laurel. In her last interview to Diva she said that she even not sure that writers and producers want her character to be present in s2. So we really don’t know nothing about her presents in s2, even when she get a time – her exhibition in London has been moved to July 2021.
What I mean by my reference to Laurel and her presence in the show is that the way they are writing it, if the plan is endgame for them together, it is going to take awhile to do it and to be frank, all the interviews I have read Marja doesn’t see to to want them together. I think it is a big mistake destroy that relationship and make them just friends but hey it is her show. Jennifer is an Executive Producer and I think she needs to start acting more aggressive about this story arch. Her and Laurel know the impact of these characters on the community. I sense the ratings will have an impact on the revisit that decision.
I think Marja main responsibility – it’s new cast. Storyline about three OG – it’s their responsibility, as EP, and IC. So i’m sure it was IC decision and JB agreed on it – to divorced Tibette.
And sorry, but i don’t very believe in all what JB said in her interview. So i’m not really sure if she want Tibette together or only like co-parenting – she talked a lot about this.

I wouldn’t be surprised if all the interviews are BS. LH and JB are not friends only colleagues so TiBette may be no more due to a lack of desire to make it work. I guess we will all have to see what they do, but we will have fun doing it our way. LOL
For me only hope i have for Tibette it’s about Laurel return. She not producer GQ – she don’t care about ratings this show, and she don’t need a money – so if she return – maybe she’ll been promised something for them – i think it’s main reason for her return. Yeah, we’ll see.
When did this become a discussion about the actresses? I don’t think it is appropriate to make comments like they are not friends or you don’t trust JB or what is said in the interviews. You do not know any of that to be true. I love reading TiBette stories because it gets me away from this kind of speculative gossip. Here is one fact: Bette (JB) and Tina (LH) are the faces of the original L Word brand. JB is an EP and has some power. What that or anything else means is anyone’s guess. This whole COVID 19 pandemic could result in no season 2 in 2000. Could change the focus of the show. Maybe there never will be a season 2. I have been rereading a lot of TiBette fanfiction. I love the stories. It has been a great escape. TiBette will always be my favorite couple.
You are very correct about the speculative aspect of the interviews. Most of what I say is taking on face value. It is all in fun, and I agree, it appears many series are in trouble because of this situation. Who knows what will happen, fanfic is fun and conversations are just people’s thoughts. Just fun.
Thank you for the reply. Really looking forward to more of your story.
Okay….so Tina is in therapy, Angie is about to go into therapy and Bette is depressed and possibly sick. Bette come home for the auction, has a disastrous meeting with Bette, then Bette does some house reorganization and then goes back to New York? Tina stays in Los Angeles and is living where? In a hotel? So is Angie staying with Shane while Bette is in New York?
I agree with Tina, its not going to be an easy fix. Its going to take many months particularly when Bette is spending a lot of time in New York. At the moment, Bette seems so hurt, that her only tool for self preservation is to avoid Tina all together. It going to take some time before Bette can feel comfortable enough to be in the same room with Tina. I look forward to seeing how this story resolves this.
Thanks for this chapter……Look forward to more.

End of last chapter, Shane invites Tina to stay with her temporary until she finds a more permanent situation, so both Angie and Tina are at Shane’s for now. I figured I had to use that big house of Shane’s for something.
There are so many options for this story. I am a Tibette fan and a hopeless romantic. So I hope they find each other again. They have difficulty staying together but can’t handle their partner with anyone else….a great dilemma Not sure about Bette’s health, she did say she is having a terrible time with the change. Peggy was going to get her in to see a doctor, hmmm wonder if that took place and we just don’t know about it yet. I do get a little tired of reuniting the pair when one of them is sick or in some trouble. On the other hand, when your soul mate is in need you are always going to be pulled to their aid. If they do get back together the 3, Tina, Bette, and Angie need to be in therapy both individually, couple and family! Those would be some great story lines. After all this SuperK it is your story to tell. I am interested where you take us with this story. Enjoy reading it and very much look forward to your posts. As for escape, much like our couple I find myself in denial of so much right now. I look forward to the respite of losing myself in the lesfan stories. Thank you so much for this gift of story you are sharing with all of us. It truly is a gift to me!

You are so right about therapy being rich with storylines. But like everything it is a process. Like any dilemma in life, things keep going even if you stand still to figure things out. Our girls are struggling for sure, But something my wife told me recently when we were discussing the issue of divorce, she said every relationship is different and a divorce is only a piece of paper. If two people love each other, they we figure out how to be together. Gave me hope.
Agree. Let’s fix this once a for all.
Love this story and all the Comments it evokes!
Looking forward to where you are taking us in’your’ storyline.
Please post soon
