Easier to Hate: Part 4
Seeing Bette as hysterical as she was getting was frightening Alice. She had never seen Bette fall apart before. It was serious. “Call her.”
Bette bit her lip as tears streamed down her face. “Should I?”
“Fuck yeah. Call her, explain, apologize profusely and beg for a second chance. I mean BEG. Beg, beg, beg. I’m talking on your knees until they turn red and your legs fall asleep kind of begging.”
“Call her?”
“CALL HER.” Alice said, as she went into Bette’s purse, took out her cell phone and practically shoved it into her hands. “Go.”
Bette nodded, sniffling and wiping more tears away. She walked across the dark, vacant gallery toward the window. She looked outside; it was raining. Nothing too heavy, just a light drizzlebut it looked about as miserable as she felt at the moment. She dialed Tina’s apartment number, trying her best to collect her thoughts before Tina answered. Unfortunately, she got the machine instead.
“Hi, you’ve reached Tina Kennard. Leave a message after the beep and I’ll get back to you. Have a nice day!”
Bette couldn’t help but smile at Tina’s sweetness.
BEEP.
“H-hi, Tinait’s Bette. Look, I know I’m the last person you want to hear from right now, but I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am. I am really, really, truly sorry for everything that happened tonight. I was drunk and rash and I never gave you a chance to explain. And I didn’t mean to say those horrible things to you. I’m sorry. Soplease, when you get this message, please call me back. Again, I’m sorry.”
Bette hung up. After a few seconds, she dialed Tina’s cell phone number. Tina’s cell phone was really only used for work, but she gave it to Bette in case of emergencieslike a surprise lunch or dinner. Bette was almost afraid of hearing Tina’s pain-filled voice on the other end. She didn’t have to worry for long, however, since she got the voicemail.
“You’ve reached Tina Kennard. Please leave your name and number and I will return your call. Have a good day.”
Bette smiled at Tina’s professionalism that was still wrapped in sweetness.
BEEP.
“Tina, it’s Bette. I-I left a message at your houseI’m sorry. I am very, very sorry for everything. I was a complete asshole andyouyou didn’t deserve to be treated that way. You never deserve to be treated like that. I was stupid and wrong and I apologize. Please, call me back. I know I don’t deserve itbut please, please call me.”

First time calls, second time flowers, what’s for the next time? But I still hope Tee will forgive Bette.
Love the story and the long posts was a bonus. Bette needs to beg beg get down on her knees beg and keep begging for Tina’s forgivness, flowers are not going to do it. Excellent chapter
Wow this is excellent. I like the long posts like this and was a wonderful flashback. Well hope this time she will beg and get down on her kneed again begging for Tina’s forgiveness and hope Tina will forgive Bette. Ok post soon please, thanks!
Great chapter don’t mind the long posts at all!!!
Great stuff… now lets try flowers…tho i think it will take a little more than that to fix this…lookin forward to more…lots more…
What suprises me is that the notion of love didn’t come around a lot sooner. Well if I learned one thing from this chapter, it’s never have a possible life-altering conversation (or yelling match) while drunk. And WTF…flowers? I’d be pissed if someone brought me flowers after a major break-up as of a way of apologizing. Flowers are way too happy for that type of occasion.
I love the long posts and this one was excellent. I really enjoyed the flashback to their first break up. Thanks and please post again soon!
I had something I originally wanted to say and couldn’t remember until now. You asked what we thought might have been the time that passed between S1 and S2. I once read that it was 1 day, but come on. No one’s pregnancy goes from not showing to popping out in a few hours. I would think a month would be long enough for a person to start showing, but I’ve never been pregnant so I wouldn’t know. I’m also pretty sure that Tina said she was living on Alice’s couch for a month right around the time she met with Joyce the annoying as fuck lawyer. But that also makes me wonder how long Bette was involved with Candyass because I always assumed she went back to her 1 more time then called it quits. Wow, people weren’t kidding when they said S2 had holes in the plot and bad writing.
wonderful…the first breakup was really intense….the time line was so screwed up, but my theory is that it was no more than 1-2 weeks between end of s1 and 201, because in 201 Al and dana talked about their kiss and i don’t think they could stay away and not to talk about it for months…tina did tell her lawyer in 203 that she stayed at alice’s house for 1 month, so maybe 2-3 weeks passed from ep. 1 to 3…and i don’t believe that bette would sleep with candace for so long…and another thing: tina was 13 weeks pregnant in 205 when she met helena and she go pregnant while she was still with bette for couple of months…so yes, only 2 weeks at the most between s1 and s2
Wow, that was really good and remarkably believable. The long posts are great. Please keep going.
