“I have to go and talk to Henry…, I can’t…, I can’t go on like this…, I have to do it now…, I can’t…”
Jesus Christ, when she said go…, she means right now, “T…”
“I’m okay Bette…, but it’s something I have to do…, and the longer I leave it…”
I swallowed that massive lump in my throat, before the words would come out in any way that construed a ‘normal’ manner, “What will you say to him…?” I asked her, not actually knowing whether that was a question I could or should ask, it really was none of my business really…
She glanced away from me, I sat up straighter, how could I get her to talk to me, let me be the one she opened up to, I wanted her to feel that she could talk to me, even if it was about him… my heart went out to her, I watched as she gave a sigh, her mind very obviously preparing herself for a pending conversation that she didn’t really want to have, and understandably so…
She looked back at me; she pursed her lips together before what seemed like a deep breath, her words were so quiet I could barely hear them.
“Just that…, I can’t… be with him…, anymore…”
What did I say to that, I felt a surging sensation in my chest, I felt it beat harder than it had all day…, well not quite, that happened when she told me she loved me…, but I felt a sudden mixture of elation intrinsically linked with sadness at how solemn she looked. I wanted to say something to her, to continue talking to her, but what answer could I give to her statement.
“What uh…, what will you do…?”
“The studio has some apartments, I’ll see if I can rent one of those for a while…, till I figure things out…”
“T…” I wanted to say so much to her…
She stood up as I said her name, she seemed restless now that she had voiced her needs, her wanting to go and talk to him…
“Bette…, I have to go…, please understand…”
“I do…” and I did…, I think I did, but I wished she would stay longer…, it was still early wasn’t it…, it was only…, what…, five o’clock…, we still had time to spend together, when Angelica woke up…, it wasn’t the end of the day yet…

That is so cruel to leave us there, please I hope Tina isn’t to badly hurt, but post again soon, And congradulations on your award.
… I should have known you had something up your sleeve. It was just going too well, wasn’t it? ;) Fantastic as always. Barely any time has actually passed in your story, yet each moment is so beautifully worded that keep forgetting it’s been, what, a day? Kettle x
breathless here!
Oh, and, of course, congrats. You deserve it.
Ah fuck Jo, why’d you have to do that to us? What did meekly-macho do?
Nooooooooo. Why when things are going semi-well, you writers have to introduce heartache? Can’t it all be Levis and nice tushes?
For the love of… why, *w h y* did you stop it there? Now I’m all anxious… I can see I’m going to have to fire up another happy dvd. Or fire up something… You’ll have to post soon Jo and put everyone’s mind at ease… please?
congrats on the award lady..p.p.s.
If it is what I think it is, then Bette better start serving up her five-knuckle sandwich!
OMFG , you and NYGayLady are in this mission together, pls say no pls tell me it’s not true. You’re both bent on making us suffer, Tibette forever, pls jo, 2x in one day, my tibette heart just can’t take this….
=O That’s about all I can say. =O
Grats on the award too!
This is just not right. I get the feeling Tina has been hurt, and if so it better not be bad. And if Henry did it, he better start running. Please don’t let them lose each other.
OMG!! What? What happened?!? Congrats on the award. totally deserved.
Damn Jo…your writing ability just leaves me speechless. Sometimes I have to stop reading to take a few deep breaths. I don’t realize that I am holding my breath, but I am. Please please please Jo, let our T be alright. If Henry has hurt her I’m going to somehow reach into cyberspace and kick his sorry ass. Congrats on your awards…you totally deserve them! Your cliffhangers are adding years to my life! More Jo! More! And soon please!
ooohhhhhhhh what’s he done to tina….hurry…i need to know.
congratulations
Fuuuuuuuuuuuck! That’s about all I can manage to say right now! *gets down on knees and begs* Please, please, please, please post soon! Oh and congratulations on the award :)
please don’t let my tina be dead.x.x.
Ok a woman receives a much deserved award and celebrates it by leaving us hanging like this! – damn that’s an abuse of power – you write so powerfully and beautifully I am in awe. And pissed off to be dangling with worry ; )
Did dat fucker put his hands on her?!?! SON OF A BITCH!!! I’m at work right now and I’m bored as shit. But this story is just so damn captivating, I can’t pull myself away 2 attempt 2 get anything done. Please post soon. PEACE.
was she in an accident? did henry hurt her? please, keep tina safe…they are just getting it all together…pps…..and congrats on the awards
Jo first kudos on the awards and second HOW CAN YOU LEAVE IT LIKE THIS!!!! PLEASE get the next installment posted ASAP!!!! Great job and THANK YOU!!!
Well, It just may be the Drama award next time round!..lol…i find it hard to believe that you would let anything really bad happen to either of them..But one never knows!!!!!
You have me really really worried right now. Tina has finally worked through her true emotions only to have something happen to her. It could be an auto accident or something that Henry did to her but she has to survive. Tina has to be alright now that the lines of communication have been opened up. Love can and will conquer all when it comes to Bette and Tina.
so cruel the cliff. so cruel
I’m on the edge of my seat waiting to read what happens next. Thanks.
What happened to tina?????????omg no don’t kill her!! I love your stories, you’re the best!
Oh shit what the hell now!
Congrats on another award.
Oh, no…. you better not keep us waiting, Jo… cause the suspense is killing me here. Please let Tina be safe… Congrats on your awards – as always – they are much deserved.
hey Jo – well all us badgers are just thrilled that our fav writer has won another two awards — but what was that you said the other day about wanting to be drama queen one day ? i was thrilled that you won two awards. You sure let your writing do all your talking for you. and i am looking forward to your new story. though if you are chasing the DQ award let me just remind you what you are up against in a certain other story – how the hell are we going to survive without you when you go on holiday ? hugs as always mate x
OMG!!! What happened to Tina?!?! I become crazy if I have to wait all the weekend for an answer!!! So please post soon, very soon! And congrats on the awards.
It would be in perfect line with the title of your story that Tina has somehow died. However reading this otherwise amazing story of yours has been one heartbreak after another, so please spare us this one.
Awwwww sweetie thank you for the Author Note, your words mean so much….and you know I feel the same about you :o)) Glad I know what’s next coz ending the chapter right there is so cruel LOL!!! Once again congrats with well deserved awards, you’re the best!!! xx
Oh, my God ! What happened ? What happened ? I knew something had happened to Tina… I knew it. Where is chapter 37 ?Jo, this chapter was just fantastic. Actually, it was more than that, it was simply…perfect. Beautiful, moving, soothing, … Needless to say your cliffanger is excruciating, which only proves how talented you are. BTW, congratulations on your new awards ! You sooooo deserve them.
This is SO NOT RIGHT! Congrats on the award! Look seriously though we have already been deprived of Tina for half of season 4 – please just a tiny, tiny bit of Tibette happiness?! ;o)
Now I understand why your writing about Bette and Angelica’s relationship is so amazing… Okay, Jo, if this is an attempt at racing for the “Heart attacks R us – drama” award, let me tell you that you’re spot on!!!… The whole building scene until the “It’s Tina” was really intense… I’m now biting my nails with these million scenarios going around in my head… And I do have a few scary ones… So please post soon and end my agony!… Oh, and NO, it’s not just sex and comedy with you… It’s everything at the same time! And I’ll take the bet right now that you’re indeed very capable to win an award in every single category!!! Sex, done! Comedy, done! Short story, done! Not too worried about the “Most romantic”, “ongoing series”, and “drama” (as you just proved to us), and I just KNOW that you’ll get the Bomb award, there is not a single doubt in my mind… The only award i’m concerned about is the “Non-traditional pairing or storyline”, don’t get me wrong, I know you could easily get it, but just stick to non-traditional STORYLINE, pleaaase? ;) Oh, and I never bet unless I know I’m gonna win! ;)… Okay, Jo, all this ranting just to tell you: With you, it’s NOT just sex and comedy, take my word for it…
What the F…!!! You’re going on holiday???… Nooooooooooooooo!!!
Oh you are evil I am having diff breathing now ,please make her be OKay Congrats on your award soooooo deserved PPPPPPS
i am always so afraid to read this but i know i have to. it hurts because i recognize. but leaving us here hanging with this huge lump in our stomac is even crueler. but it is so an amazing story. thanks.
Damn woman, you did not just do that! Mean
Wow, you and NY are really taking us out for a spin today. I hope Tina is okay. This story is so well written, though; I always look forward to a new chapter. So congrats!
OMG! Whats happened to Tina???Congrats for the awards Jo :)
Congratulations!!! I guess Henry didn’t take it so well? Hope Tina’s ok.
