“I’m sorry Tina.” Alice mumbled, wrapping her arm around Tina’s shoulders. She couldn’t believe that Bette would have to think about it for a second. This Candace Jewel had a bigger impact on Ms. Porter than anyone had originally thought. Not good.
Alice tried the optimistic view. “Maybe she was about to promise when Fred interrupted.”
Tina shook her head. “No. I saw it in her eyes. She had to really think about it.” A tear slid down Tina’s cheek. “I told her to call me when she could promise.”
“Do you know if she’s called?”
Tina shrugged. “No. But I don’t think she has.”
Alice sighed and squeezed Tina’s shoulders. They sat there in silence for a while, before Alice decided to speak up. “Do you mind if I ask you something?”
“What?”
“Iif Bette could promise youwould you go back to her?”
Tina thought about it for a second. Then, as her eyes glazed over and focused on nothing, she mumbled, “I don’t know. I don’t think so.”
“No?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“BecauseI’m still hurt. Promising never to do it again doesn’t fix anything. How can I ever trust Bette again?”
“I don’t know.”
“That makes two of us.”
There was some more silence before Alice spoke again. “Do you still love Bette?”
Tina looked at Alice. “I-I think I’ll always love Bette”
“But?”
“Butright now, it’s easier to hate her.”
Alice cringed. Ouch. That hurt her ears and her heart to hear. “Why?”
“Because hating her means I don’t have to sit and wonder why I wasn’t enough. I-I know that somehow I drove Bette towardthat woman–”
“No you didn’t T.K.” Alice protested, shaking her head wildly.
“Yes I did. I’m not saying that it was all my fault; we know that Bette is responsible for her own actions. But we had been growing apart for a while now and I think the miscarriage was the final straw, you know? After that,we just sort of broke away from each other. I dove into my work down at the Headquarters and Bette moved on toother women. I shut Bette out, I did. But only because I thought I had failed her.”
“You didn’t fail her.”
“I know that now, but not then. I cut myself off from her. She was so stressed because of Provocations and Faye Buckley and those fucking protestors. She didn’t need a depressed, whiney wife on top of all that. So, I got out of her way and stayed out of her way. Stupid right?” Tina sniffled, looking at Alice, who rested her head on Tina’s shoulder.

Great chapter. Looking forward to more.
I don’t remember what I put as a comment for the chapter where Bette went to see Tina, but I wanted to say I’m glad you included a scene where Tina tells Bette not to contact her until she’s totally done with Candyass. I don’t think that even happened on the show which caused a bit of confusion for me when S2 started (the flying table scene). Don’t worry about this story being sad. I like it because you’ve filled in some gaps with what you thought could’ve happened between S1 and S2.
Great chapter Mandy chin up looking forward to a new B+T beginning always ready for something happy!!!
Great chapter. I’m still trying to understand why Bette couldn’t promise to start seeing her. Why is Bette so consumed with her when she claims to still love Tina? Hmmm, just thinking out loud. Thanks for the update, please continue.

Like all of your chapters, this chapter was excellent, Manda. Should you continue with this story beyond what you have planned, I’ll read it. Should you move on to a TiBette beginning, I’ll read it.
it is sad but you can fasten it up and make B&T together already, it is fan fic after all, anything is possible
Great chapter i do understand it being hard to write.and tho i wont be seeing the series for a few months i get whats being going on!!!but just know that your writting this fills in alot of blanks that should have been in the actual show so just to say thanks we are all enjoying your writting even tho its sad,hope you continue with this and am looking forward to whatever you have planned next!!! thanks
I am enjoying this. Please keep going. I am wondering why Bette could not promise. Was she still strugglin’ with possibly falling out of love with Tina?
Good chapter and can’t wait to see what’s next, thanks!
Hey hi. Just found out about this story, and i had read ALL of your chapters including this one too, and may i say that you are one of the best writers around this site! I like the way you are able to elaborate more on the ‘drama’ that is between Bette & Tina after season 1. Though its quite different from the TV version’s story line, it fits nicely! Please say you will continue with this fic. I have a suggestion. Why not take on a whole different story line from season 2, and start your own version? That way, least we can get fresh new insights to this wholesome show. Thanks!!
