It had been a week since her failed performance and the entire time, Tina had been hiding away in the condo she now shared with Bette.
"Hey T, do you want some of this – Tina? Baby what’s going on? What happened?"
Bette walked in from the kitchen and rushed over to her girlfriend crying on the couch. She turned her head and saw what was playing on the television and in her anger, she muted the sound.
"Baby what are you doing watching this? I told you not to"
"I don’t know. I just . ." Tina’s bottom lip quivered before Bette pulled her into an embrace. She held Tina while she cried, soothing her girlfriend as best she could.
"It’s gonna be okay, T. We’ll get through this together and do some damage control. We’ll show all those two-faced assholes how amazing you really are okay?"
Bette pulled back and held Tina’s face in her hands, wiping away the falling tears with her thumbs.
"Don’t worry about a thing. It’s going to be okay"
Tina nodded slowly and sniffed before Bette leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her lips. The brunette pulled back with a small smile, lovingly stroking Tina’s cheeks with her thumbs.
She looked deep into Tina’s eyes and found herself getting angry with the sadness and pain she saw there. She hated that Tina was suffering and that she didn’t protect her.
Her smile soon fell and she sighed, "I should have never let you go through with it. I should have never put you in Roger’s greedy hands"
Tina sighed herself and grabbed Bette’s hands from her face to hold them between her own hands, "Bette, it’s not his fault. I was the one who decided to go through with it"
"Are you kidding me? It’s every bit his fault. If he hadn’t been so pushy and practically begged you to do the performance then none of this would have happened. He should have understood that you were sick"
"Yeah but baby, in the end it was my decision. You left the choice up to me. It’s not fair to blame him"

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…
