As Good As It Gets – Chapter 20
"A few months ago"
"So you went to talk to her after I begged you not to. After you fucking promised you wouldn’t" Tina laughed but the bitter sound was devoid of all humor.
"I know how bad this looks but you have to believe me, T. I did it with your best interest at heart" Bette’s heart was pounding so hard against her chest that it hurt.
She was afraid what would happen next. She knew how dumb it was to to against Tina’s wishes and was deeply afraid that she would lose Tina over it.
"My best interest? You’re joking right" Tina’s cold tone only increased Bette’s fear. She had never heard the blonde speak this way before. She knew she had crossed a serious line.
"Yes, Tina . . I just wanted to keep you safe. I hated how much she was coming between us and the things she was doing to create a wedge in our relationship. I wanted to put a stop to it once and for all before she had another chance to try and break us up"
"Yeah well it looks like you did that all on your own, Bette"
Bette felt a sharp pang in her heart as she stared at Tina like she had just been slapped, "You don’t mean that"
"What makes you so sure?! I mean look at this Bette!" Tina pointed at the tv as the tears continued to stream down her face, "Look at what you’ve done on your own because you didn’t listen to me!"
Bette pressed her lips together and glanced at the tv as her own tears began to fall. The same video and pictures were plastered all over the tv. It was obvious the media had taken what happened that day completely out of context. The video didn’t show when Bette pushed Ava away and the pictures were obvious altered.
Either way, Bette should have known to expect something like that to happen. Tina had warned her and for good reason.
Bette felt everything she had worked so hard for slipping out of her fingers. She had never seen Tina look more sad and beaten than she was now. Bette knew she was to blame and was desperate to fix everything she had done wrong.

heart wrenching!! But fuck Bette you should have told her the truth. Than bitch Ava needs a smacking!!
Omg😭
DANG,
I want Ava to pay for the tricks she is playing.
The hart time is over.Great story.PPS
Freakin’ Ava…she needs a taste of her own medicine.
Well, the damage is done… things are out in the open now, except for Ava’s role in Tina’s performance going awry. Tina’s career can be resurrected/redeemed by a few strategic live performances, killer acoustic sets would dispel all the rumors about lip syncing. Bette could set that up and it’d be fine. As far as the broken promise, though… Bette is going to have to work a lot harder. She needs to stop being so impulsive and fully let go and trust Tina. She’s still hanging on to the bad remnants from her time with Ava and it’s not doing her relationship any favors. I think Tina can get past it all, though. She probably needs her own closure with Ava. She can forgive her and forget her. Tina will be better off without her rat of a cousin in her life anyway. Thanks for posting, Liah. :)
i really can’t believe tina went ahead with the lip sync. that was so disappointing cos i would have thought she was a lot smarter than that. she should have trusted bette to know that bette would know enough and that her woman would only mean good for her. I hope that tina’s singing career can be restored to pre-lip sync incident. As for the report on ava and bette, too bad bette. it’s just time to face the music. I thought Tina reassurance to bette was really thoughtful.
Oh shit thats sad
Okay let me say, I’m actually glad for once that my gf’s loud tuba-like snoring has kept me up bcuz i was able to read ur update. Ha! That was an awesome chapter! Bad Bette for keeping secrets.I know you won’t be splitting b&t up bcuz if you do… lady, I’ll be calling u ‘cray cray crazy!’. -_^ ill be keeping an eye on you! thanks for the update. Great writing n really enjoy this story.
Thanks for the update. Sad to see this story end, but that’s life. Ditto to the above comments. Hopefully Bette has learned a valuable lesson on trust and Tina can learn forgiveness. And, hopefully those men in white coats will find Ava and take her back to the looney bin. Awesome writing. Thanks for the story.
Great update. I know it is wrong to think of evil doings for people like ava but she needs a serious ass- kicking or career takedown however you choose to do it. I hope Tina just accidently runs into ava and let the little bitch brag about what she has done to Tina and when and that she will get Bette back. If that happens let Tina strike without thinking and beat her ass within an inch of her life and make her admit to what she has done, on purpose to sabotage Tina and Bette’s relationship. She is stupid enough to admit it to Tina when she thinks she has won. Gosh, please let someone find out the truth, most of all Tina. Thanks for posting.
all caught up… ava needs to go down… some one had to see her that night… some where there has to be a tape… and what about the two who were up there… that guy roger… he should be grilling them and finding out what went wrong… great story… will hate to see it end… i have a feeling sam may come through and tell every thing that ava planned to the media… can’t wait for more…
U hope someone saw the skank and busts her publical, turn abouts…

CCTV!? Argh… :-/ anyway thanks for the update Liah! PPVS?!? :-)
