Don’t Let This Be It 3
Tina looked down at Bette, so exposed. Tear stricken and desperate, pleading for their life. She wanted nothing more than to yes to this woman, the love of her life, down in front of her. She was scared this was all because of alcohol. Drunken promises that would have been forgotten come morning light. Most of all, she was scared to risk it all again, to trust Bette with the heart she had already broken.
Bette studied her face. Im guessing you think its only because Im drunk. But I mean it, Tina. And I know you know that. But if you want some time Bette trailed off, feeling emotion choke her again. Then OK. I can give you that. I owe you that.
Bette sighed and pushed herself up from the floor. Pausing for a second, she held the back of Tinas neck and kissed her forehead softly. Tinas eyes scrunched up and a tear fell. This simple kiss had turned her insides out and made her shatter.
She put her head in her hands as Bette made her way to the bedroom. She pushed the heels of her hands into her eyes, trying unsuccessfully to stop more tears. She rocked herself for a short while, trying to comfort herself and failing. Looking up, Tina tried to compose herself and she stared at their bedroom door, still wide open but in darkness.
Getting up from the chair, she walked slowly to the door and looked inside. Bette was on top of the duvet, curled in the foetal position facing away from her and Tina could see the faintest shaking taking hold of her body. Tina rested her head on the door and sighed quietly. Without debating what to do, she went in and closed the door. She pulled off her shoes and slid herself onto the bed with ease. After a moment, she reached out and touched between Bettes strong shoulder blades; Running her hand up and down her back in a comforting motion. Tina heard Bette sniff and saw her arm move to dry her eyes. Slowly, Bette turned over and shuffled to Tinas waiting body. Instinctively, Tina enveloped her, stroking her hair.
This is breaking me, T, its break” Bette sobbed quietly, clutching to Tina and shaking.
I know, baby, I know. Sshh. Sshh. I know. Im here, Im here, she soothed. Just sleep OK?
Bette nodded and Tina returned the kiss on the forehead. Just sleep.

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.
