"What makes you say that?"
Bette didn’t know how to form an answer with words. She felt it in her heart. She felt it last night, when they had finally stopped ravaging each other long enough to process what was going on. Bette watched helplessly as Tina got up, threw on some clothes, grabbed her car keys and started for the front door, all without breathing a word.
"Tina, baby please don’t do this." She remembered pleading with Tina as they moved down the hallway. Tina didn’t respond. She just slipped her wedding ring from her finger, placing it on the table as she passed and opened the front door.
"Please don’t go." Bette sobbed, frozen in place as she looked at the ring and then at Tina. "I love you."
The only response she received was the click of the front door gently closing.
"She left her ring."
"What?" Kit exhaled.
"It’s on the table."
Kit turned to the table, her heart breaking as she spotted the tiny ring shimmering in the morning sun.
————————————————
Alice thanked the cashier, wished her a lovely day, and made a beeline for the front door of the Planet, hoping that none of her friends were here.
"Hey Al, where’s the fire?" A deep voice asked and Alice cringed. Shane.
She turned, plastering a fake smile on her face. "Shane, fancy meeting you here. Love to chat, wish I could stay, but I’m kinda in a hurry so–"
"When are you ever in a hurry?" Shane teased, chuckling slightly at her own joke.
"I’m a busy woman! Got things to do, people to see, people to do–" Alice began to rant, her hands flailing, practically spilling the coffee she held. "Work waits for no one. So…bye!"
Shane knew something was wrong the minute Alice rushed to the front counter in the small cafe without looking for her friends. She watched Alice as she ordered, and only felt her suspicion grow as Alice tried to make a break for the door. As Alice turned once again, Shane gently grabbed her by the arm. She wasn’t getting away that easy. "What’s up Al?"
Alice whimpered. Why was the coffee here so fucking delicious? If she thought she could find a decent cup of Joe anywhere else, she would’ve gone there. Tina loved Planet coffee; Alice thought it would help. Alice turned to look into Shane’s concerned brown eyes and thought about telling her. It wasn’t really Alice’s place to tell Shane, that was all Bette and Tina’s, but Tina was so out of it and Alice just knew that Bette wasn’t doing any better. Alice had no idea how to deal with it. She was still reeling from the whole ordeal, and she only got the basic information.

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!
