"where did you go, baby?"
"I just had to do something."
"You went to the beach?"
"Just for a few hours."
"You did it?"
"I did it."
Bette took Alice’s hand. She almost could not bear to look at her lover in the eye. She had been hurting Alice all these years, pining for someone else while they were together. Worst of all, Alice knew it. But for some reason Bette could not comprehend, Alice stayed.
"Alice, I did it. I threw it away. I’m ready to move on. I’m ready to be with you now, completely."
"Are you, really?"
"Yes."
Bette watched tears start to fall down Alice’s cheeks. She wiped them away with her thumb. Instead of feeling glad as she expected, Bette felt numb.
Numb was better than hurting, right?
****
Alice opened her eyes to a completely dark room. She felt Bette’s arm heavy across her chest. In the darkness, she remembered their earlier conversation. So Bette had thrown away Tina’s letter. Finally. A she had been promising to do for years now.
Was it real, though? Did Bette finally throw off the mantle of grief and waiting that Tina’s departure had created? Was Bette finally free to be her lover in every sense of the word?
A part of her was optimistic, but another part was wiser. Without closure, Bette will never really be able to put Tina behind her.
Alice thought back to the beginning of her strange relationship with Bette.
It all started when nobody heard from Bette for a couple of weeks. Dana, Shane and Alice were puzzled then worried. Alice was worried most of all, as she had started feeling exceedingly concerned about their friend. She never told anyone what she suspected: that she was starting to fall for Bette. She would have been derided for breaking the unspoken agreement among the four of them. It was almost incestuous! But fall she did. And when Bette stopped returning calls and stopped going to work, she took it upon herself to find out why.
She found Bette at home, still in bed. The sight of Bette’s beautiful face looking worn and tired even in sleep broke Alice’s heart. Half-expecting lighting to strike her, she went to Bette and stroked the tousled hair off her face. This woke Bette.

Well, well. I’m glad Tina’s tits weren’t ruined. Judy Garland claimed hers had been by the binding she’d endured to play Dorothy. I hope she has grown up enough now to actually to actually start being whoever she is instead of swinging on a pendulum of extremes. Feeling some sympathy for Alice. As hard as it has been for Bette to lost her love in the moment it was confessed, surely it’s difficult to know you AREN’T the one. And even if Bette finally threw the letter away, that doesn’t mean that Alice’s place in her heart has changed.
Wow, just got caught up on the last few updates. Tina certainly has been on a path of self discovery and it appears to be winding all over the place. I hope she settles into herself before she meets up with Bette again. I feel for Alice too. It’s sad that Bette can’t return her love :( Please update soon, I can’t wait to see what Tina does next.
I think Bette’s going to realize, pretty quickly, that she really isn’t free to be with Alice completely, not yet. I wonder how long it’s been since Bette felt like herself? I wonder if Bette can rediscover, like Tina, how to see herself, or be herself? I hope Bette doesn’t drop Alice like a hot potato once she sees Tina again. After it’s all said and done, I hope Bette takes a page out of Tina’s book and sheds the past 4 years like an old skin, yet still salvage some sort of relationship with Alice… who’s has been, if nothing else, a really good friend to Bette by the looks of things. That doesn’t mean that Bette should stick with Alice out of gratitude for putting her somewhat back together, though. But maybe Bette needs to figure out how to be a good friend. Alice, I think, is going to need one pretty soon. Great chapter 7, I’m loving this story. Thanks :)
wow!!! yea i’m wondering about this Tina. Bette seems so sad. Alice should break up with for her own sanity and happiness. that relationship is not healthy.
All i can say is i want bette @ tina to be together….I love tibette icant help it.
That was great and now let see B&T meet again!
good god, what were you thinking bette? Alice, of all people! I feel for you, i see blood empty bottles and roll after roll of tear and snot-stained tissue in your future. It’s the devil and the deep for bette and we’re in for one hell of a ride. I’m so excited. Go team tibette!
OMG, living as a butch bar owner, how interesting that could have been. I wonder if she found someone to date other than Max, of all people. How in the world will Bette take this Tina. She is in for the shock of her life. She should never taken up with Alice, unless this Alice is very different from the one on the show and other stories that have her as a nosey, big mouth. Can hardly wait. Thanks for posting.

my tibette heart is getting the better of me. If i were sane and sober i would want bette to end it with alice for both their sakes, find closure with tina, and be single for a while. Tina seems not so taken with bette anyway in the way that bette is with her, or at least with bette’s 4-yr-old idea of her (good pt, dainty). Tina will survive the disappointment. Or is she even expecting to find bette waiting for her after all this time? I am afraid for bette if she does go after tina again. Who knows how long tina intends to live as a chameleon? Er. She did go from straight to bicurious?femme to butch and now back to femme again. I mean, when will the wardrobe changes end! I am however drunk on bette and tina so i say bring on the tibette!
wow, tina just keeps me guessing at every turn…so happy she’s not transitioning, can’t imagine her as a man LOL and can’t see Bette with Alice either…i will read wherever you will take us…though still hoping for happy TiBette at the end (i’m a hopeless tibetter)
What an interesting update. Thank you.
