Max yawned and patted Tina’s hand that was resting on her shoulder. "You’re fine just the way you are, T. Just be yourself."
"Yeah, yeah. I’ll do that."
Max just mumbled as she finally fell asleep. Tina closed her eyes and imagined Bette welcoming her with one of her Bette-hugs. The kind that went all around her and made her feel warm and safe. She fell asleep, smiling.

"I’m sorry again."
"Hey, it’s no trouble. Really."
"I’m sorry."
"Stop apologizing. Okay, you’re welcome to stay as long as you need."
Shane made up the sofa with a fresh sheet. She took a couple of pillows from her bedroom and piled them on top of Alice, who halfheartedly swatted them away.
"So, why did you leave Bette at the party again?" Shane sat down on the newly-made sofa and stared at Alice. "You look like hell, by the way."
"Gee, thanks." Alice pushed back some bangs that fell into her face. Her tears had dried into sticky crusts around her eyes and she rubbed them away. "Tina, you remember Tina, right?" At Shane’s nod, Alice continued, "she was there. She looks way different now, but it’s her. And Bette, you know Bette’s been pining for her, right?"
"No way! I thought they were just friends!"
"No. Well, Bette’s been in love with Tina forever. She didn’t want anyone to know. Coz Tina’s straight. Or was straight."
"So what’s the problem? She’s the straight best friend, or ex-best friend. Those things never work out. Why’d you leave Bette to that?"
"She’s not straight anymore, Shane. She’s really butch now."
"That’s even better! Bette doesn’t like butches."
"How can you say that? She likes you."
"I’m androgynous at best."
"Whatever. Anyway, you didn’t see them. They were practically tongue-kissing right in front of me. Where were you, anyway?"
"Oh, you know." Shane made a vague motion with her hand.
"Same girl as the one you had to kick out when I arrived?"
Shane just smiled.
"Sometimes I feel like I’m in the middle of a fantasy sequence of some crazy person. My life’s so fucking weird. How much more torture am I gonna be subjected to?" Alice asked philosophically.
"Do you want a drink?"
"Why not?"

I kinda have to agree with rbabe’s first statement and did_inept. Tina seems incredibly selfish and reckless and at the same time unsure of herself. She ran because she wasn’t ready to face her feelings for Bette and I understand that, but I wish she could have been sure of who she is before she decided to come back.
Interesting chapter. I expect to have some darts thrown at me after posting this comment. Personally, I think Bette gave up hoping for Tinas return too soon and threw the letter away. She should never have been with Alice in the first place, Alice just kind of insinuated herself in Bettes life. As she said, “she was someone that was hopeful.” She should have stuck with being the best friend. You don’t get hurt that way. Tina is comfortable because she knows she loves Bette and wants to be with her, she just has to look the part of a girl now until her hair grows back. Wig City here she comes. Dana should have told Alice how she felt about her instead of leaving it for so long then it was too late to say anything. Now she has her chance and she should take it. Bette and Tina are meant to be, they are destined and they both know it and will now try to make something happen. It won’t take much to make it happen. I feel sure Tina was talking about being a full blown lesbian and looking like a girl. I’ll just bet she will be wearing a wig and something girly the next time she sees Bette. I would stake everything I own on that proposition. I could be wrong, I’ve been wrong before but, its rare. My children hate when I offer that little idiom. But in this story it fits. Can hardly wait for the next chapter to see what happens. Thanks for posting. PPS
Ummm…so far Tina hasn’t done anything untoward to anyone on her return to LA. Why can’t SHE have her hopes like apparently everyone else in this story has, with the possible exception of Shane (that we know about so far, loved the “androgynous at best” bit!)? Evidently Alice knew what the score was although hoped otherwise. Bette wasn’t supposed to try to make the best of her life after Tina split? Why?
Despite the communal hangover to come, I think Max had the best outcome of them all.
Oh Dear! Too sad. Great update. Thank you.
This is very interesting and hope they will see each other soon and have a talk. Please post more, thanks!
Bette maybe should have made that call… to Shane’s anyway. Just to see if Alice was okay. But Alice clearly isn’t. Dana isn’t, Bette isn’t. Tina seems to be. Okay or not, though, everyone seems hopeful. Alice shouldn’t totally knock it. It might lead to good things. Really good things… thanks for the chapter, 7. :)
sad emotions all around, everyone is going through something dramatic, except for Shane…i wonder what change is Tina talking about? grow her hair back? become gentle, soft but more confident Tina? so many possibilities in this story
Not liking Tina At all. Bette should just let go of the past and be happy with Alice. Alice shouldn’t give up that easily.
Interesting story. The only content person is, unsurprisingly, Tina. Looks like she doesn’t care about anyone except herself (and Max). Everybody else is a complete mess, and they will be more miserable, for sure. Feel really sorry for Bette, and, for the first time ever, Alice.
Wow, I feel so badly for both Bette and Alice but in the end, this is for the best. They don’t belong together no matter what ends up happening between Bette and Tina.
