When Bette took a step forward, Tina instinctively took a step back. She wasn’t ready to be touched.
"God, Bette! You knew how important trust is to me, you knew! After everything we’ve both been through, we swore to always be honest to each other and you still managed to break the first promise we’ve ever made to each other"
"I know and I’ll spend everyday of my life paying for that mistake but that’s what it was, T. It was a mistake. A dumb mistake that I wish I could take back. I shouldn’t have betrayed your trust, I know that. I’m sorry . . I’m so sorry, Tina"
Tina was very angry and she knew that any second she would cave. She needed air before she broke down, it was the last thing she wanted to do at the moment. As much as she loved Bette and knew deep down she would forgive the brunette, she needed some distance if only for a little while.
"I need to get some air"
She walked passed Bette who followed her to the door and grabbed her arm when she reached for her car keys.
"Where are you going?"
Tina stood facing the door for a few seconds, the broken tone in Bette’s voice was weighing heavy on Tina’s heart. She sighed deeply and turned around to meet the remorseful gaze of her girlfriend.
"I just . . I just need some space for a little while. I promise we’ll talk more when I get back. I just really need to get some air, I feel like I’m suffocating in here. I can’t think straight and its frustrating me"
Bette swallowed the hard lump that had formed in her throat and nodded as she released Tina’s arm. Her eyes were pleading with the blonde to stay, hoping and praying that this wasn’t the end of them.
Tina saw the scared look in her lover’s eyes and immediately placed a hand on Bette’s cheek, watching the way the brunette closed her eyes at first contact. Without hesitation, she reached up and placed a tender kiss on Bette’s lips that were wet from her tears.
"I love you . . you know that right?"
Bette instinctively placed her hand on Tina’s waist and desperately grasped the material of her shirt. She didn’t want Tina to leave.
"Tell me you know that" Tina spoke softly and patiently waited for Bette to open her eyes.
"I know . . I love you too"
Tina smiled sadly and nodded before giving Bette another soft kiss. She pulled away and opened the door, giving Bette one last glance before walking out. Bette placed her hand over her mouth and muffled the sobs that escaped her. She walked back to the living room and plopped down on the couch as she let out all her tears, crying for the woman she hurt and for the relationship that she hoped would survive.

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…
