The threat of another onslaught of tears stung Bette’s tender eyes, but she refused to let them fall. She had cried enough. She didn’t deserve to cry anymore. She was Bette Porter, and a Porter never wallowed in their own misery for too long. She was the bad guy, and bad guys never felt remorse.
She heard the front door open, close, and for a minute, her heart stopped. Had Tina come home?
"Baby sis, where you at?" Sounded off from the distance. It was only Kit. The dull ache of disappointment settled itself in Bette’s heart. She knew it would be there for quite some time. Every time the phone rang, every time she saw a shadow outside her front door, every time she saw blonde curly hair and realized that it wasn’t Tina.
Bette turned just as Kit turned the bathroom doorway. She looked frazzled. "I’m here, what is it? Where’s Tina? What’s going on?"
"Tina’s gone."
————————————————————————————————
The first thing she felt was excruciating pain, as if a large Mack truck hit her. It paralyzed her, pinning her to the couch she had been resting on. After a few minutes, the pain subsided, making way for the most overwhelming feeling of numbness Tina Kennard had ever encountered in her life. It was as if she just died at that moment. Cracking her eyes open, Tina looked around, taking in Alice’s apartment again. Everything had been such a blur last night that for a second, she had forgotten where she was.
A lone tear escaped her eye as she brought her left hand up to her face, looking at the pale mark at the bottom of her left finger, now an empty space.
Get up. Get up.
Tina sat up on the couch and saw a small piece of paper sitting in front of her on Alice’s coffee table, Alice’s classic chicken scratch scrawled across it. It took a minute for her tired eyes to focus on the writing.
TK,
Went out to get coffee, will be back soon.
Hang in there,
Al.
Oh Alice, you always know just what to say. Tina threw the paper back down on the coffee table, her attempt to smirk only coming out as a slim grimace. Rubbing her burning eyes, she moaned, stretched, and then slowly pulled herself up to a standing position. Her knees felt weak, as if they would give out at any moment. She rubbed them, looking around. The apartment was neat and empty. It looked so different for some reason. Tina had been at this apartment at least a million times and it always looked the same. What was different about it? Nothing seemed out of place

This is heartbreaking…..I love it though!!!
WOW for a newbe 6 pages is alot but i have to say 6 excellent pages, yes this is very sad, hell its heartbreaking but as with some other stories on this site youve really filled in the blanks, please keep it coming thanks really enjoyed it …well in a morbid way..lol
“It hadn’t been a nightmare….Tina was gone.”… Manda, wow, great first chapter!
I agree with B. This is really well written and I am looking forward to see where you plan to take if from here. Great Job!!
I agree with everyone, please keep going. This is good. I am a relatively new fan myself. I viewed season 2 episode 1 in syndication and then rented all of season 1. I was finally able to see all of season 2 a few months ago. I thank you for exploring this time “in between”. I wondered how did they get from the final episode of season 1 to the beginning of season 2. Particularly in season two when Bette said she had not tried to contact Tina because she wanted to be able to do what Tina asked of her. Did Tina actually want to get back with Bette back sooner, but Bette stayed with Candace until she realized her “mistake”? How did she approach Candace with continuing their relationship? Was the relationship actually six months long? I am a Tibetter from Betteville and I hated to see Bette suffer, but I guess this may be why Tina took it to her in season 2. I would love to hear your take on the “silent” months. Please keep going.
it’s really good, but i have to tell you, i hate drama LOL…very good though, because a lot of this was missing between s1 and s2
I’ve read a few fics that explored what happened after S1, but this is the truest I’ve seen in terms of what we would have watched if IC had chosen to show what happened within those first 24-48 hours after the finale. Most of the time I was wiping away stray tears but I did catch myself giggle over the suggestion that Tina smoke a joint to calm down. And of course Dana being her usual self is generally comical. I vote that you stick with this. Also, don’t worry if people get pissy because you didn’t go for fluffy bunny cute B&T. While I personally enjoy something light more often than not, it’s the darker side of B&T that make me think a little bit more.
The story is absolutely necessary. You’re right. There’re few scenes in the show to say how hard Bette tried to get Tina back. She just suddenly went back to normal life. I don’t think Bette would give up so easily. Please continue.
i am at a loss for words…..i love drama and this is full of it……continue soon…..

This is very well written…looking forward to the next chapter.
Wow! Great chapter, your voice mirror those of TLW. Looking forward to see where you take this story. I love that Kit came to Bette’s side — that shows how they were able to reconnect and illustrate the new found bond they had in S2.
Great start! And don’t feel like you have to apoligize for writing a story that starts post season 1. I enjoy these more than BnT beginnings. Please write more.
This is good and please continue, thanks!
