    As Good As It Gets – Chapter 20

    Kit poured a cup of water and handed it to Tina, "Drink this baby girl"

    The crowd could be heard even from where they were and with one look from Bette to Kit, the older Porter walked over to shut the door but not before Roger made his way inside.

    "Tina l, I-"

    Bette was immediately on her feet and rushed over to the worried man.

    "This is all your fault! Get the fuck out of here!"

    She shoved Roger’s shoulder hard and was met by a look of shock on the man’s face.

    "I-I’m sorry. I don’t know what happened, I-"

    "I don’t want to hear it. I fucking warned you, asshole. I hope you’re happy now"

    The coldness in Bette’s voice filled Roger with intense guilt. He tossed a worried and apologetic look over Bette’s shoulder to see Tina struggling to her feet with Kit’s help.

    "There has to be an explanation for what happened. I-I think someone tampered with the equipment. I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean for any of this to happen"

    "No, you just think with your pockets. You were so desperate to make a quick buck out of all this that you completely disregarded everything else"

    Bette was fuming but her demeanor changed when she saw Tina at her side.

    "You okay baby?"

    Tina nodded, her eyes red and puffy, "Yeah, can you take me home please?"

    Bette nodded and immediately wrapped around her girlfriend’s waist to help her out, "Yeah. We’re done here"

    With that she gave Roger one last lingering glare and walked out. Kit was right behind them, giving him the same look before closing the door behind her.

    *****

    . . . Here you can clearly see her lips were moving way too quickly for the lyrics. It’s amazing how no one noticed any of this before . . .

    Tina sat on the sofa with her knees drawn up, her arms wrapped around them and her head resting on top as tears continued to roll down her cheeks. She watched special after special about the incident at the Staples Center and all other events where people swore Tina hadn’t really been singing. When one of the reporters questioned the her fate of her career, Tina let out a deep sob into her knees.

    1. 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. :)

    2. 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.

    3. 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. 

    4. 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.

    5. 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.

    6. 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…

    7. 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?!? :-)
