They each flip through the paper and read the article. It talked favorably about Tina winning the largest grant in Peabody history and described the programs that would benefit. It also mentioned that Helena and Tina were seen at Marina and Jenny’s engagement party with accompanying photos. They were named West Hollywood’s hottest new lesbian couple.
“I guess there’s no point in trying to talk to Tina now is there?” Bette asked putting down the newspaper.
“Yeah we tried to talk to her during the party but all it served to do was piss her off. She basically told me to fuck off.”
“Exactly what did you say to her Alice?” Bette asked cautiously “I told you I wanted to keep things civil between us”
“Hey it wasn’t just me. Shane, Dana and Kit had a lot to say too.” Alice defended herself.
Bette looked at her older sister who tried to keep the sheepish expression from her gaze.
“She needed to hear it Baby sis. You put up with so much shit from her. She doesn’t deserve your loyalty.”
“She’s still family. So what exactly did I miss?” Bette asked looking at each of them in turn.
“When Helena finally left her side we cornered her for a few minutes.”
Alice, Dana, Shane and Kit recounted the discussion they had with Tina.
”Hey T.K. did we scare her off?”
”No she just went to call her driver we’re leaving.”
”That’s too bad; we thought you might want to hang out.”
”Are you including Helena in the invitation because you weren’t exactly welcoming to her earlier?”
”Can you blame us? She didn’t make a good first impression Tina.”
”What did you expect when Bette attacked her as soon as she walked in the door?”
”Bette didn’t attack her Tina. Bette was rather civil under the circumstances until you made it confrontational.”
”I wasn’t being confrontational. I was just making a point.”
”Well you picked a hell of a way to make a point TK.”
”Listen I know you guys probably don’t like her just because Bette doesn’t but you’ve hardly taken the time to know her.”
”Yeah? And how well do you know her Tina?”
”Why is everyone so down on her? I know Bette’s upset about the grant, but I don’t think it’s fair that everyone is judging Helena like this. She’s a good person and she has a good heart.”

Hi Bat, thank you for this update, I didn’t have time to comment much in the former chapter. In this one I think in Tina’s POV, she didn’t know the big problem between Helena and Bette, she was ignorant of most part of conflict Bette didn’t warn her (and again Bette is acting overprotecting and underestimating Tina, where is the hand of Emma?), but I think Tina is acting with jealousy and try to hook with the first woman in her way, that looks nice to her; what I find unfair again is that everybody (the gang and Kit) are treating her as if she was a real bitch, Bette wasn’t the only one suffering, Tina was and still is very lost; and at the moment Tina hasn’t slept with Helena they just met the same day (as I mentioned in a former comment, I was hoping that Helena could be the tool to bring Tina back from hetero-Ville), what makes me feel very bad is the gang behaving as Bette’s entourage; as Bette was emotionally sick, Tina was/ is and probably worst and she fell even deeper but who cares, she doesn’t have real friends and now even Henry is treating her “You could end up losing everything including Mikey and me”, isn’t it a way to force people to do something? Well Bat, it only rest me to tell you that I love your story and it’s wonderful that you are posting every day, I’ll be waiting willingly for the next chapter. Sorry for bugging too much. Thanks again
Even if BETTE has moved on (supposedly)wanting to know all that was said and who said what is defeating the purpose for me.TINA is falling for HELENA but only in a gratuitous way yet if not careful she will become her puppet as the signs are showing when she found out someone other than BETTE is in TINA’s life.Tread carefully TINA even tho you don’t want to alienate the family or BETTE you are doing yourself a disservice by not admitting you want BETTE,back,you are gay,and you still love her.TINA needs some alone time.HENRY needs to back up and away from this relationship as he has served his purpose.Why does BETTE not tell TINA before the others ?is she leaving the door open on them or she’s afraid this would really be the nail in the coffin for TIBETTE and this isn’t what she wants.THANKS,ps.
Tina really is stuck between a rock and a hard place – and she seems to be hell bent on removing herself from her ‘former’ friends and family as well as her ‘new’ one. And I think Bette’s right she would not have heeded any warning from Bette regarding Helena. Perhaps Tina really needs to hit rock bottom before she is coming to her senses – we will have to wait and see, I suppose.
Hopefully Tina’s not doing something stupid if she discovers that Bette’s pregnant and starting her family with Emma. But on the other hand that could be exactly what she needs to get closure too. As I assume she still holds on hope that she and Bette could get back together after she eventually knows what she really wants.
Thanks for sharing your outstanding talent with us and looking forward to your next post.
Really don’t like this version Tina! Very immature. Thanks
As you know I really like Tina in almost everything you write but this Tina is far from the Tina that I care about. In the last chapter she was really being spiteful and a tad hateful. Bette is right, if she had tried to talk with her and possibly now she would not listen. Even though I never liked Henry, through no fault of his own, I’m really glad that he talked with Tina and hopefully with helenas’ bitchy attitude, just maybe Tina is seeing a little what she is like. Can hardly wait until Peggy shows up and strips helena of the position of being over the foundation and whatever else she is going to do to her. Damn, that will be great!!! Tina will really be shocked when she discovers that Bette is expecting, that will be monumental in their newly forging friendship, and at least Tina realized what a mess she created by taking helbitch with her to the party and how she reacted to everyone trying to talk with her. Really do hope she will listen to Bette if and when Bette tries to talk with her. Just maybe when Peggy shows up and strips helena there will be no need for Bette to talk with her. She will learn firsthand what everyone was talking about. For Bette, I hope everything works out well for her with the baby since that is what she has always wanted. As you know, I would always want Tina and Bette together with a baby. Emma should be a very stabilizing force for Bette. Seems Tina has lost any chance she might have had for a renewed relationship with Bette. Thanks for posting.
Also loved what Kit and henry had to say to Tina, hope she will listen to someone before she is in over her head and gets hurt. Thanks.
