Her grip on Tina tightened, “Chris, what’s wrong, sweetie. What happened?” Tina didn’t respond, she just sat there, head resting on Julia’s shoulder, her hand found Julia’s and she grabbed on. “Chris, what? Are you thinking about Bette?”
Tina let out a small laugh, “That obvious, huh?”
“Maybe not for everyone. But we spent a lot of nights in New York like this. I remember that look in your eyes. You’re far off. Lost in thoughts or memories or something.”
“How about all of the above?”
“That works. So how did it go last night?”
“Honestly?”
“No, lie to me, please, yes, honestly.” Julia quipped, trying to lighten the mood.
Tina smiled, “Better than I thought it would. I think that’s what’s bothering me. Does that make any sense?”
“Honestly?”
“Cute, Jules.”
“No. If it went better than you thought, why are you upset? Shouldn’t that be a good thing?”
“You’d think, right? When Shane asked me to come out here, I thought about it all morning, trying to figure out if I could do it. I knew I would have to face Bette while I was here and I wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to.”
Tina hesitated, trying to gather her thoughts. Julia sat quietly, waiting for her friend to continue. She knew how hard this was for Tina and how much she had dreaded and anticipated the day she would see Bette again. Though Julia knew that Tina had friends here in LA to talk to, she didn’t know if she was comfortable enough with them to do it. Not because she wasn’t close to them but because they were also Bette’s friend. Julia took her free hand and places it over her own and Tina’s in an attempt to reassure Tina and nudge her to continue and it worked.
“And after a while I just realized that I needed to. It was time. I needed to face up to my past. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t give myself a future. And that is no way to teach a child about love. Cara deserved a mother that was strong enough to face her past and strong enough to love. Even if I’m faking it, she deserves the illusion.”

What?, Who? damn post soon! I have to say that I really like Julia, difficult situation for her. Thanks.
Way with the cliffhangers -lucia! Whatever Dana has done, I think I’m dreading it more than she is. You really write all these characters well; I even care about Tina in your story, which I don’t so much in the show, and Julia is a nice one too. Awesome that you manage to keep this and your other fic going at the same time, so different from each other but both so good.
holy crap! what’s wrong with Dane! I didn’t think it would be anything serious, sounds like it’s gunna be totally awesome. I hope she tell’s Shane. Yoda’s good with advice lol!!! Update soon!
Wow! Great chapter… can’t believe you stopped there. LOL. I love how you are developing Dana. She is my favorite and you are just making me love her more. So Dana has a “stalker”, I knew that she loves Alice to much to simply walk away b/c she’s scared of losing her friendship. But she would walk away if someone has been threatening to physically hurt Alice. Come on Yoda you can get her through this. :)
I am starting to really like Julia a lot, especially after she tells Tina “No, lie to me, please, yes, honestly.” LMAO.
So…how long will Julia have to suffer i slience? Tina could move back to L.A. to be with Julia. Bette could develop a relationship with Cara. All would be right with the world, almost.
man..u know u are on my favorite writers list right? this was a great chapter it was like i was watchin a soap oprea and a big even just happened finally some light on why dana is doing this….thanks for the great chapter lookin forward to anything that u post next cause u talented like that
Hmmm, I wonder which phsyco ex this is…lol
Just when I thought it can’t get any better, it just did! Like lights, Dana is my favorite and you write so beautifully. You got me so curious now about that mysterious letter, please don’t keep us hanging for too long.
Lucia…I’ve read this story from the start, and this is def one of my top 5 ever!!!! Your story telling is amazing, and I love the suspense with Dana. She is my absolute fav, and this is a great storyline for her. Please post soon
Dana what is going on with you…Tina needs to move on i feel really sorry for Julia, I hope Julia is able to tell Tina how she feels about her and Cara adores her…looking forward to the next post.
Thank you.
Can’t wait to see who it is and what the letter says…post soon!!!
OMG what a twist. i HATE cliffhangers. god post soon *****
like others, i wish Julia can solve her “problem” and she make it happen with Tina. i love them together :) Yoda’s help is needed but i think Alice could help Dana too – unless it’s the way lights said.. Alice in danger :/ please, continue soon. *mumbles* cliffhanger after cliffhanger..
