Don’t Let This Be It 3
After putting down the phone, Bette sighed and shook her head. *****, she growled, annoyed at how she had just spoken to Tina. But she was still overwhelmed with anger. If she saw Tina tonight, she might snap.
Breathing in and out deeply, she made a decision, picked up the phone and began to dial. It took a few rings before someone picked up.
Hello?
Who is this? Bette demanded to the male voice on the other end of the phone.
Uh, Mark. I guess youre looking for Shane or Jenny?
Yes. Please, Bette said through clenched teeth, still trying to let go of her anger.
Yeah sure. Hey, you a ***** as well?
Why do you ask that? Do all women who call for Shane and Jenny have to be dykes? Perhaps I have a ***** sounding voice or you can tell Im sitting here in a pair of dungarees and a crew cut?
Uh I just asked cause Im doing this documentary and wanted some interview subjects”
I dont care, Bette said quickly. Are either of them in?
Yeah, sure, sorry. Ill just go”
You do that.
After a minute, Bette heard Shanes familiar voice on the end of the phone.
Hello?
Hey Shane, its Bette. I was wondering what you and Jenny are doing tonight?
Uh, nothin. Why? Hey, isnt Tina home?
Yes she is. I dont really want to be in tonight. Thought you and Jenny might want to come to Sadies with me. Make sure Im not sad and alone.
Yeah, sure. Shane sounded confused. Bette has something happened?
You mean besides Helena being all over Tina last night?
Good point. Seven ok for you?
Yes, seven is great for me, Bette said checking her watch. 1.30. Plenty of time for work.
All right, well see you there.
Bye Shane.

Tina sat at the table, staring blankly at the clock. 10.35. For three hours she had been sitting there, with one of Bettes favourite meals prepared; Salmon fillet with baby herb potatoes, carrots and corn. For three hours she had been close to giving up, but shed heard a noise thinking it was Bette putting her key in the door. When it wasnt, she had resolved to give her ten more minutes. In those ten minutes, she would hear another noise, decide to wait ten more minutes and so it continued.

thank you for writing it :)
I am enjoying your version of the Bette/Tina story. Thank you.
First thing first, Bette needs to stop drinking, maybe then she will be able to get a handle on her anger, then the two can work on repairing their relationship. Thanks for the update.
This is so heartbreaking I wish they could resolve there diffrences..Please they need each other and have Tina kick Helena to the curb..Post soon I Love this story.
WOW..that was really awesome.. i can feel bette and tinas pain here….great story please continue..
Bette’s going off like a bull in a China shop, and Tina’s trying to sweep fast enough to catch up. But that’s pretty much true to the characters.
Seems like Bette’s got to really try, just a bit, and Tina’s got to really listen, but stand up for herself, just a bit.
Very nice, though.
First time a piece of fan fic has ever brought tears to my eyes. I love it…
