Half Bliss- Chapter 16
Tina pulled away from the hiccupping brunette and proceeded to wipe her damp cheeks, revealing a hint of blush from all that intense emotion running wild a while ago. Bette was left once again feeling helplessly embarrassed and frustrated at her outburst. She could only (at the moment) blame the tyrannical hormones in her pregnant body for taking over all sense of rationality in her.
“Do you want to talk about it?” Talk. No. Not really…
“Talk. That’s all I do these days…” She said out in a dazed contempt that was not targeting at anyone. Perhaps, she wasn’t even aware that she had expressed those thoughts aloud. Bette stared in the space in front of her blankly for a long interval of time before finally addressing the question that was posed to her.
“I don’t want the door… Take it away.” She finally said in a small voice as a child would when admitting the most embarrassing of all habit to an adult.
“Why?” Tina managed to respond after gaping at her bizarre request. Sometimes, she wondered if Bette had a constant flow of conversation running in her head especially when she talked in this manner. This was part of her Bette that she recognized and in a way it comforted her in knowing the existence of bits and pieces of her Bette.
“I just don’t want to be reminded…I- .. I want it gone… please?” Bette’s desperate plea tugged at her heartstrings but her curiosity piqued by the brunette’s cryptic explanation got the better of her.
“Do you remember something?” The brunette winced. Her facial expressions had always betrayed her true feelings and right now she was cringing at whatever thought that was running through her mind.
“I know…” Brows furrowed at that familiar line. Tina wondered…
“I saw you. Him. Fucking you.” She paused a few times saying that sentence, effectively breaking them into three of the most powerful accusation (if it were not the truth) ever thrown to Tina.
Her look of shock quickly turned into deep sorrow. She cried. She cried tears of sorrow and relief at the same time, if possible, for finally having it out in the open. Up until now, Tina had not mentioned the true extent of the breakup. She didn’t mention their initial breakup, figuring that it was bridge under the water and that Bette didn’t need the mountain of guilt piling on top of her at the moment. She kept their initial reconciliation a secret as well, reasoning to herself that it was the same scenario as Bette’s infidelity.

Whoa! Who died?
powerful and sad…i hope everyone will find peace and happiness soon…love cummings poetry too…
Another great update! This is truly sad. Bette will get better, won’t she?Tibette needs to be victorious with a happy ending. PPVVS
If “he” is who I think he is… then I almost want to say that death is a release he maybe didn’t deserve. But maybe that’s what Bette might need to start healing and moving on. Great update, thanks MsH. (and I love e.e. cummings)
Interesting story, but too vague. I do hope that eventually you plan to tie everything together and not leave things open to interpretation. I, for one, would like a clear-cut explanation on everything. Also, earlier in the story, you mentioned that Alice, Shane, and Helena were in the planet wanting an explanation from Kit about what happened to Bette and had ended up giving her resigned expressions when she wouldn’t. Now you are making like no one has ever met Helena before and she just showed up. It doesn’t make any sense and you should probably go back in the story and edit it so that it does. If this story is supposed to be somewhere between the third and fourth season, then Helena would have been a part of the group anyway according to the show’s timeline.
Great update the story is great! So sad and hopeful at the same time. Plus ee cummings poetry magical!
Loved that opening you’ve written about love. So true. Great update by the way. I, too hopes that everyone would find peace. Update soon!
