“Almost 10 weeks ago.”
“AndBette?”
“Sheum. We fell apart. It was like we couldn’t even comfort each other. We didn’t have anything to give. And we both needed so much. I” Tina frowned, searching for words. “I don’t know if I’ve already accepted Bette leaving, or if it hasn’t even registered yet.”
“It’s too overwhelming, everything at once.”
Tina leaned against
“What’s so hard to believe? Just because we’ve not been in each other’s lives doesn’t mean I’ve stopped caring about you,”
Tina nodded.
They didn’t speak for a long time, each lost in her thoughts.
“Do you want to see some pictures?” Tina offered, her voice barely above a whisper.
“Yes. I’d love to see them.”
Tina got up and retrieved two photo albums from a box in the corner of the room, then returned to the couch and rested the books, unopened, on her lap.
“Are you sure you’re up to this?”
“Yeah,” Tina managed. “I look at them every day. I want to make sure I don’t forget.”
“Oh Love,”
“I honestly don’t know if I can get through this,
“You’re stronger than you realize.”
“I used to believe that. But I don’t know any more.”
“Trust me, then. And I’ll believe enough for the both of us.”
“How can you be sure?”
“Because I know you,”
“I feel solost,” Tina admitted, pressing her eyes tightly shut against the onslaught of tears that threatened to spill over any second.
“I’m sure you do. I can’t even begin to imagine what you’ve been going through. But you will survive this. As impossible as that may be to believe right now. You will. As long as you want to.”
“What do you mean?”
“You have to fight, Tina. You have to take care of yourself. And let the people who love you help you to do that.”
Hot, wet tears fell in rivulets down Tina’s cheeks, and she buried her face deep in the nook between
“That’s right, Darling,” Helena said. “Let it out. The only way beyond is through, and you’re going to get through.”

The storyline is heartbreaking, but very well done. You can feel the grief and sense of loss. Thank you.
k ffc. im going back to comfort enough, that was easier. hmmmm.
so fucking sad…Bette should be the one conforting Tina and vice versa..they need each other but now is hard to accept this..thanks for the chapter
i think i’m with albeez, i so love your writing, but this is so hard and i need ‘comfort enough’ to confort me, don’t ever remove it from the site…poor tina…i do like the way helena is handling it, but i think tina also need to face bette and try to handke it together…is bette still in LA?
It’s so very hard to read this story through the brimming tears…but it’s still SO good. I’m riveted and can’t wait to see what happens… Keep up the good, if heartbreaking, work. Make us feel better FFC!!!
Sad..but awesome writing! Post soon.
WTF…? Why is HELENA comforting Tina. Is this going to be a story about these two? Just let me know now instead of having me agonize over the idea of Tina and Helena together. Blach! This story is indeed very sad and quite emotional, and I wonder how you’ll get Tina to ever see the light at the other end of the tunnel. But if that light comes from the likes Helena (said with the most disdain I can muster), after all that she did to break Bette and Tina apart, then I don’t know what I’ll do, except nothing because this is just fan fiction… Yeah, I’ll do nothing but sulk, pout and not be happy what so ever, but I’ll still be a loyal reader, of course. Damn.
You are doing a marvelous job with this. I feel Tina’s grief and pain. Somehow, you must bring Bette back to Tina so that they can help each other through this. This is not Helena’s place to be with Tina, it is Bette’s only. Thanks.
great chapter…dare I say I actually like Helena…
ffc, i totally love this story…so gently, but powerfully written!! Tina does need comforting and Bette isn’t in the right place now to give it..From reading past chapters, Bette is in massive denial and or self preservation mode (repressing it) and something major needs to happen if she is to get or move “through” it anytime soon, if at all, and to me, its even possible that nothing will help her…so heartbreakingly sad that this maybe her (Bette’s) “stuck in a moment” kindof thing!!Kinda likin’ helena in this one, lovin’ shane!!
Tina may make it. I may not. Heart-wrenching! (that is a compliment)
This is all so sad but Tina and Bette need each other to get through it together!!!
Poor, poor Tina. :(
Your ability to evoke emotion is second to none, I’m sure of this as I sit here with the tears to prove it. This is absolutely heartbreaking but I know Tina will be OK in the end as long as you’re doing the telling. Thanks for writing.
Thank you for posting again so soon. This story is so gut wrenching, I don’t know if I could take “sitting” with the feelings that each chapter forces out of me, for days or weeks at a time. Your writing is so pure…not a wasted word…not a wasted thought. Have you finished that screenplay yet? :)
I can’t really explain how sad this story makes me feel, i’m with the minority who think it’s a good thing that Helena is there for Tina, although i’m a tibetter, I can see clearly how Bette and Tina can’t comfort one another, not in this story.. Thank you, great writing..
pain and grieves..poor Tina. where are you,bette??!?
This is so well done, I am in tears. You handle the story line perfectly but sadly.
Damn this is so fucking sad and hope this is not happen in season 3. Wow Helena comfort Tina, that’s unbievable, hope Bette will come and talk to Tina and they will go through it together. Ok post soon please, thanks!
good, god! i think i’m starting like helena, which speaks to your mad skills as a writer.
Well, I managed to just about read this chapter through the tears! Tina needs to take strength from someone, and as much as I guess we would like that person to be Bette, I for one don’t care who it is, as long as she gets the help she needs to get through this. I hope Helena can help Tina to start the recovery process. Amazing writing as ever FFC. Thanks
helena nice did i say that out loud!!!!!!!!!!! bette can’t be their right now please let her start to deal with this before it breaks her and they need to realize that is how bette deals with things and not abandon her
this is so beautiful!!!and i can so picture Helena being like that. She really wasnt as evil as I thought the first time i saw the eps.Beautiful writing! it brought tears!!!
