    Chapter 17

    “Even though we’re not together as a couple, we’re still family. She’s banking on the fact that she can come between us.”

    “Why would that matter to her. What’s her motive? What have you done to make her hate you so much?”

    “It mostly has to do with my relationship with her mother.”

    “Bette you’ve known Peggy for 10 years. If she is jealous of your relationship with Peggy why hasn’t she tried to ruin you before now?”

    “She never had the power or the autonomy to do it before. Peggy was always here to keep her in check.”

    “I don’t believe she’s that cunning Bette. She told me it was a business decision. She admitted her mother likely wouldn’t be pleased because of her fondness for you but she said that she would stand by her decision because the grants were given out on merit. She has a different agenda for the Peabody Corporation than her mother. She doesn’t feel the same about art like you and Peggy. I can’t explain why she was so overly generous with the grant or why she only approved the two that she did but I really don’t think she has a personal vendetta against you Bette. She could not have planned for me to be sexually attracted to her. I don’t believe she’s using sex in that way.”

    “Tina all I can do is tell you what I know. You can act on your attraction if that is what you want to do, but just be forewarned. Whatever happens now is out of my control.”

    “That’s the basis for all this isn’t it Bette? Control. You thought you had control over whether or not you’d get the grant and she usurped your position. You thought you’d have control over me and I would bow to your demand that I stay away from her. Things just aren’t going your way so you come up with this plot and you’ve got Kit and all our friends buying into it. Well I’m not biting Bette. Helena has done nothing in my opinion that would warrant this distrust and these accusations.”

    “It’s obvious that nothing I say will convince you so do whatever you want Tina. I just hope you don’t get caught in the line of fire. It’s just a matter of time before you figure it out for yourself. I think you will find that as far as she’s concerned you’re just collateral damage in the war she’s waging against me and her mother. I don’t want to see you hurt Tina but if Helena is what you want then I won’t stand in your way.”

    1. OMG!!!!! If only Tina would listen to common sense. She will live to regret being so impetuous, maybe. I knew she would not listen to Bette.Tina acts as though she has lost her ability to discern negative actions . Poor fool. Thanks for posting.

    2. Hi Bat, thanks for the update. The bad news is that Tina is still sinking the good news is that she is back into women, well indeed it seems that Tina has to keep falling more and more, I am surprised that she didn’t get any professional psychological help (she was the one looking for it in the show, well, I know this is not the show) and she really need it, Tina should stop the placebos as Henry the situation here is that Tina doesn’t have a real friend and Henry is just a friend with benefits, but the one that get the more benefits is Henry and not Tina, as we read, after several months Tina is still subsiding. I think Bette must have talked to Tina before Helena arrived to LA, because now is too late everything looks too awkward. As sad as the story is, I love it, please don’t hesitate and keep posting and I will be waiting for tomorrow’s chapter. Thanks again pps.

      • proteonomics – I agree that Tina continues to sink and her relationships with both Henry and Helena is disturbing. She should get some professional psychological help but if you recall on the show she didn’t. She went to Foxworthy when they were trying to have the baby and after she miscarried but once she got pregnant with Angelica she dismissed therapy and it was Bette that sought out Foxworthy on her own. It was also Bette that suggested they see the sex therapist after the baby was born and they were having problems. That’s the main reason why I had Bette in therapy even though it was also to introduce her love interest (Emma) because I think Bette really wanted to be a better person while Tina just acted on her impulses with total disregard for how it hurt other people. Even in the way she used Henry was heartless.

        As for Bette talking to Tina before Helena arrived in Los Angeles – I don’t think she anticipated Helena using Tina or putting her in danger.

    3. Getting ‘back to life’ and ‘back to reality’ after my break and happy to see your regular postings continue.
      I love and will read all your stories regardless of my aching Tibette heart at them not being together simply because of the talented way you write both the stories and the characters. I find myself wanting to ‘smack’ Tina in this post but you will know that! Wkm is right she is ‘a fool’ and your Author’s Note was not quite correct in that she certainly did not ‘hear’ Bette.
      Thank you and look forward to your continuing posts.

      • Hi SassyGran – it is hard to get back to life and reality but glad you were able to take a break. Sorry this story is so heartbreaking. I hesitated to re-post it but I appreciate that people are still reading and commenting. You are correct Tina didn’t ‘hear’ anything Bette said, but she will come to her senses in time.

    4. TINA is another forecast:cloudy with a slight chance of thunderstorms.How in GOD’s name does she not see the control HELENA is exerting over her life.BETTE did warn her but the storm is fast approaching and TINA will get caught up in the downpour all because she is letting a cunt do her thinking instead of using her head.I PITY THIS FOOL .THANKS,ps.

      • dunnthat – I love your analogy. I would increase the slight chance of thunderstorms to tornado warnings!! Tina is going to sink pretty low, but all is not lost. She will come to her senses eventually. Thank you for reading and commenting
