"Don’t be so negative, Bette. It’s not like she does this all the time. It’s the only way she can perform"
Roger was being pushy but careful not to be too pushy. He was still very much intimidated by Bette not to mention he needed her cooperation. If Bette disagreed, she could very much convince Tina to back out.
The more upset Bette got with Roger, the harder she found it to keep her voice down. She placed her hands on her hips and took a deep breath before answering.
"I’m not being negative, I’m being realistic. Do you really believe the media will take your word that she only did it this one time? There will be no way to prove it and you know how the tabloids are. They stretch this story as far as it will go, they can destroy her career"
"I hardly think this will destroy her. People lip sing all the time in this business"
Bette rolled her eyes at how desperate Roger was being. She had been in the business for enough time to know well enough that Roger and Pepsi would drop Tina in an instant if any of this fell badly on them.
"Yes and look where it got them. Their either old news or hardly get mentioned anymore. They barely get any gigs and have even lost their endorsements for Christ sake"
"Oh so you would rather her just back out without even trying and increase her chances of those things happening anyway? Bette you know as well as I do that people don’t take lightly to disappointments. People won’t forget that she didn’t perform sick or not. It’s been done before so trust me when I say that no matter the reason, this will be talked about if she doesn’t do it"
"I would rather the insensitive gossip about her not performing while sick as opposed to gossip about her lip singing. You’re not getting it Roger, they’ll accuse her of not having talent"
"If that’s the case then all she has to do is perform live without any sound assistance. They’ll see how talented she really is for themselves. With all do respect Bette but I don’t think you should talk so badly about this to Tina. I am not an amateur, I’ve done this many times without and problems. You’re scaring her into thinking this is wrong when it’s not"

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…

Dang! :-$ so the story is almost reaching the ending and then you-Liah… Left us with this heart breaking chapter ending.. full of cursing towards Ava and… Technology might fail Tina’s lipsync performance… But please let it captured all that bad deeds of Ava’s!! CCTV!? Argh… :-/ anyway thanks for the update Liah! PPVS?!? :-)
