Angels Never Came Down 8
The sun set slowly. The dashboard was illuminated orange and silver. The road ahead was seemed to be littered with silver coins and the trees bowed languidly under the afternoon breeze. Tina put her hand out the window to feel wind that was the warmest she’s felt in years. A few more kilometers and she would be home.
"Hey, T, do you know where you’re gonna be staying once we get to LA?" a voice from the passenger seat disturbed Tina’s reverie.
"I’ll figure something out. How about you, Max?" Tina responded and retracted her arm. She concentrated on the road in front of her, feeling the excitement build again.
The woman beside her adjusted the seatbelt over her chest. "Well, I guess I’ll find a motel to pass the night. Then in the morning, I’ll try to find my friend." Max fidgeted again and peered down the collar of her shirt. "Damn these bandages itch. How are you doing?"
"I’m fine. I told you not to get those cheap ass ones." Tina patted down her own flat chest. She pulled down the visor and checked out her hair. It was at the itchy stage of its re-growth.
Max sighed beside her. "Hey, do we have time to stop for something to eat?"
"We’ll stop when we get to LA."
"Fine."
Tina smiled as she drove. She was finally coming home. She glanced at herself in the mirror again. Boy, were they in for a surprise.
When she left four years ago, she had left not only a failed relationship, but a lot of doubts and questions. She wanted to find the answers by herself, although she knew she had a lot of friends who would have been eager to help her.
Friends. One friend, in particular. Tina wondered how Bette was doing. In four years, she had resisted contacting her best friend. At first, it was because she was trying to settle and find her legs in Portland. She had had to live with her sister for a while. Then she had to find a job. As days then weeks went by, there just never seemed to be the right time to call Bette. She was embarrassed, then afraid, then dismissive, then finally, it just started slipping her mind. She was sure that by the first year after she had left, Bette had already forgotten all about her.

I’m actually more worried that Tina’s been seriously ill than that she’s turned into some über butch bad-girl-Casanova and has slept her way through the Pacific Northwest over the last 4 years… And I hope Bette doesn’t need 4 years to make the changes she’s going to need to make in order to stop living a half-life, longing for something that can’t be, and start living fully… maybe even with Tina around. This was so good I needed to read it twice, 7. ;) Thanks again! :)
Wow! Interesting. PPS
This is very intersting and like it!
Interesting… re-growing hair, flat chest… (should I worry?) and Dockers? I think Tina is in for a shocker, once she realises just how long Bette wanted someone back that was never, and is never, going to come. And why does Tina want someone that she admittedly forgot, whether out of selfishness or necessity? Tina’s clearly no longer the person that Bette thought she loved, maybe that’s going to be harder for Bette to take than the 4-year absence. How Tina works Bette into her new life is going to be interesting, to say the least. I *really* want to see where this is going next. Thanks, 7, and happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate! :)
Interesting is an understatement, isn’t it? I find myself intrigued and I wrote this stuff! jp22 I love how you noted that Tina, Bette’s Tina, “was never, and is never, going to come.” Great catch there!
oh gosh.. what’s with the 540 degree change in Tina? =O I hope Bette can see past everything and still see the Tina that she knew and loved. And hopefully she won’t be too hurt that Tina “forgot” about her! Hopefully, Tina will start regretting that she didn’t contact Bette earlier! Thanks for posting and I can’t wait for the next installment! =)
Oh My sounds like Tina really really changed…..I am not sure Bette will see tina at all…the Tina she loved and waited for 4 years
Oh wow! This is a turnabout. I hope Bette sees it’s still her Tina. Thank you for the update. :)
Tina as a stone cold butch? Ha! I’m eager to see how this different slant plays out! Thanks!
OH MY 7, please, please tell us Tina has bandages over a newly remove tat or sunburn or or or something other that breast removal. Is she now Tommy or is she still Tina, you did leave Max, Max and not Moria and did refer to her as “her” not him so if all that we assume is true please at least have someone there for Bette when she has to find this out. Thank you, Md aka Oma
jp22 expressed my sentiments exactly and the whole time while i was reading all i could think of was WOW…interesting, i’m really looking forward to see Bette’s reaction to butch bad girl Tina…you keep surprising me 7PM and it’s a very good thing, and just like Tina, i hope she’ll get the girl
Oh gosh, what has happened to Tina while she was gone? Does the re-growing of hair and a flat chest speak of a very serious illness and chemotherapy treatment. Can hardly wait to see what happens next and how Bette will receive Tinas presence. Thanks for posting.
