Easier To Hate: Part 1
"I-I wrote it." Tina hiccupped through her sobs.
None of the three women said a word after that; the only sound heard was Tina’s painful sobbing.
————————————-
"Okay Oscar, thanks a lot. Yes…yes I’ll tell Tina to call you as soon as I see her. Thanks again. Bye." Kit sighed as she hung up the phone. Sitting down next to the now dry and dressed Bette, Kit passed the phone over. "Okay, I’ve done all the professional contacts. You gotta call the ladies."
Bette winced. How was she going to explain it to even one of her friends? They were going to be so mad…so disappointed. They were going to hate her. As she began to dial, the phone started to ring, startling her. Her heart jumped. Would Tina call? The fear for her wife’s well-being finally crept up on Bette. What if it was a hospital, calling to tell Bette that Tina had been in a horrible accident? What if it was Alice, or Dana, or Shane or Marina calling to tell Bette that Tina was hurt? The phone continued to ring in her hands as Bette lost herself in her worries.
"Bette!" Kit called out, grabbing her sister’s attention. "Are you going to answer it?"
Bette looked down at the ever-ringing phone and reluctantly pressed ‘TALK.’
"H-hello?"
"Hey." Shane’s voice danced around in her ear. She sounded cold, angry. She knew.
"Shane." Bette said, looking at Kit.
"Just wanted to let you know Tina’s at Alice’s." Shane sounded so detached.
"She is?"
"Yeah."
"Is…I-is she okay?"
"That’s a really stupid fucking question."
Bette closed her eyes, exhaling loudly. She heard Alice whispering for Shane to release the phone and it wasn’t a few seconds later that Bette heard Alice’s voice instead. "Hey Bette. Tina’s here. She’s safe."
"How is she Al?"
Alice didn’t respond. In all the years Bette had known her, Alice always had something to say. This clam-up frightened Bette beyond words. Was it really that bad?
Of course asshole. You’ve ruined her life…your life
"Alice, just tell me."
"She’s…not too good. She’s had a few anxiety attacks."
Bette felt her breath hitch in her throat. Tina hadn’t had an anxiety attack in quite some time. When she did, they were usually so powerful that they left Tina helpless, immobile and most of all, frightened. It broke Bette’s already hurting heart to think of Tina sitting there, hugging herself, trying her hardest to calm down enough to take a breath.

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!
