Feeling safe and wanted again – Chapter 4
“He abuses me, hits me, kicks me, you name it.” Tina says, suddenly feeling a lot stronger than she’s felt in a long time. “I have proof.” Tina says as she takes off her jacket. Tasha has almost the same reaction that Bette had the first time she saw the bruises. It looked worse now, than only a few hours ago.
“How long has this been going on?” Officer Tasha asks.
“Almost 4 years.” Tina says.
“Why haven’t you come forward before?” Officer Tasha asks.
“I didn’t have the courage before I guess.” Tina says.
“Do you mind if I take pictures?” Officer Tasha asks.
Tina looks at Bette, who nods.
“No, go ahead.” Tina says.
“Can I ask who you are in all of this?” Officer Tasha asks Bette.
“Sure, I met Tina today. My niece is in her class and they had a showing of a movie they’ve made. I ran into Tina in the bathroom and some signs were obvious and I asked her straight out. I also should inform you that I’m a detective on the Nashville PD.” Bette says.
An hour and a half later, they were done. Officer Tasha and her partner, Officer Mark Wayland follows Bette’s car to Tina’s house.
“I’ll stay here with Evan, I’ll make sure he’s safe.” Bette says reassuringly to Tina.
“Thank you. I don’t know how to thank you. This has all happen so fast.” Tina says as yet another tear find its way down her cheek.
“I know, but you’re a strong woman, I can see it and feel it. Go ahead, get this over with. Evan will be here waiting for you.” Bette says and smiles.
Tina joins Tasha and Mark as they walk up to the door. Tina locks herself in with Tasha and Mark following closely behind. They see Eric sleeping on the couch.
“Why don’t you go and pack the things you need for you and your son. We’ll watch him in the meantime.” Tasha says.
Tina nods and hurries into the bedroom. She takes out two large suitcases and starts packing. She takes only what she uses on a daily basis plus a few nicer outfits. Then she moves on to Evan and the things she needs for him, which was quite a lot. After 30 minutes she hears loud voices in the living room, which only meant that Eric had woken up.

just caught up with the story, i’m glad bette was there to help tine. quite often abused women don’t do anything and either end up dead or leave too late. let’s hope eric stays in jail for a long time
What a dumb ass!!! Eric Collins …I am happy that he is behind bars right now…gives Tina time to get packed and out of town….
Time for a fresh start.Great update.
I had a feeling that Eric would do something stupid. But for Mark to allow him to get away was not good, then neither was Mark on the show, ok a little blame for Tasha too. Good to see that Bette is there for Tina in her time of need. Please continue.
At least the police saw him in action.
Can’t wait to see what happens next between the girls!! thanks
Yes! Finally got Eric is behind bars and I hope he stays there. Thank you for this story.
Thank you for another post of this story. I’m glad they’ve arrested Eric. Hopefully Tina can start recovering now.
Thank goodness Eric is in custody for the time being. Tina needs to find someplace to relocate, she will not be able to stay in that town with Eric, even if they are divorced, he will never leave her alone. Even with the assault in front of officers with a good attorney, he will not stay in jail more than a week or two. And he will be just that more mad when he gets out and he won’t stop until her hurts her very seriously or permanently. She needs to leave that town as quickly as possible and she needs to clean out their bank account of what is hers and take as many of her personal possessions as possible because he will destroy everything that she holds dear and he will do it with glee. And if the house they live in is hers from an inheritance from her grandmother or parents or something then she needs to put his things out while he is in jail, change the locks, take the keys to her car that is in his possession, etc. There is so much she needs to do to protect herself and her child. The main thing is she needs to be STRONG and that can not be emphasized enough because there will be moments that she will question herself if she feels sorry for him and thinks that she can help him. Great update. Thanks for posting.
Tina needs to relocate! Go with Bette.
Alright – get T&E away, Bette! You have set the scene beautifully – no reason for Tina not to make a fresh start in another city – no complications or ties, and no-one to rat her out to Eric when/if he comes after Tina. And Tina has a good profession, so she will be able to get herself on her feet, regain her confidence, and fall in love with Bette!…OK…I may be getting a little ahead here! Thank you for the followup from Dainty – I was just wondering how long they could keep Eric locked up. PPS! and THANK YOU for posting so soon.
Thanks god finally that fucking baster going to jail and hope he in there for a long time. Sad for Tina but happy that Bette is there for her and let see her take care of Tina. Please post more, thanks!
