Bette. My friend. I am sorry I had to ruin it all by changing the dynamics of our relationship. Hopefully when I come back, I would be able to fix everything and we can be friends again.
Tina stared out the window at the quickly passing scenery. When she returned, she would have to face Bette. She vowed to return only when she felt she deserved to do so.
*****
Tina pulled into a small motel just outside LA. She knew Max was hungry and she was feeling peckish herself. They stepped into the diner attached to the motel and found a table near the door.
"Finally!" Max exclaimed as the waitress handed them a couple of menus. "Anything! A burger and fries, or whatever you have that’s the heaviest."
Tina nodded her agreement and the waitress moved to fill their orders.
"Can you believe you’ve had us driving nonstop for ten hours?" Max asked Tina.
"We stopped at the gas station."
"Twinkies and Coke do not a proper meal make!"
"Hm." Tina took a look around the diner. It was nearly empty, except for a couple of old men chatting over their coffees. A jukebox stood in one corner. With a wink at Max, Tina went over to it and fed it some quarters.
"Hey Max, listen." Tina sat back on her chair and gestured to the jukebox which had started a melodious tune.
"Now that I’ve lost everything to you
You say you want to start something new
And it’s breaking my heart you’re leaving
Baby I’m grieving"
Max bopped her head along with the song. Tina sat back with a contemplative look on her face.
"And if you wanna leave take good care
Hope you have a lot of nice things to wear
A lot of nice things turn bad out there
Oh baby, baby, it’s a wild world
It’s hard to get by just upon a smile"
The waitress came over with a plate heaped with fries, and two platters of deep fried chicken. Then she left and came back with two beers. Max immediately set upon the chicken and started waving a drumstick along with the music.
Tina laughed and started eating. She wondered what her reception to West Hollywood would be.
"But if you wanna leave take good care
Hope you make a lot of nice friends out there
Just remember there’s a lot of bad and beware
La…la…la…la…la…baby I love you."
Tina wondered what Bette’s reception of her would be.
Tina wondered whether she would be strong enough to face whatever it would be.
She had been a bad girl.
One of the old men walked over to the jukebox and punched in his selection.
"Everyday Is Like Sunday
Trudging slowly over wet sand
back to the bench
where your clothes were stolen
this is the coastal town
that they forgot to close down"
Max and Tina stopped eating and sang the next lines in a duet. "Armageddon – come Armageddon!
Come Armageddon! Come!"
They both burst out laughing.
"Hey Max," Tina lifted a bottle of beer. "To us. To friends old, new, borrowed, blue. To the past. To the future."
"Here here!" Max took a deep swallow from her beer, "And don’t forget the present!" She burped.
"Never forget the present!" Tina burped back.
After a lull in their laughter, filled only with the sound of cutlery, Tina spoke again.
"Max, we’ll be okay, right?"
"Sure T. You’ll get the girl." Max winked.
Tina laughed. She didn’t even know if the girl would recognize her. But she hoped. With all her heart and soul, she hoped.

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.
