I let out the breath I was holding as I looked at the room, I’d taken the view for granted, because now all I saw was an empty bed…
I locked the doors and windows, slowly making my way back to our room, I sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the photo I had there, the one we had taken in the hotel foyer of the weekend of the Pemequid Oysters…, we looked so in love…, where did that go…, I still loved her as much as I did then…, if not more…, yeah it was more, I knew it was more because as each day passed it always grew that little bit more, even over the last seven weeks and five days it grew, and today even…, it grew that little bit more…
I glanced at the clock…, midnight…, what a day…, what a fucking day…
I jumped as the telephone rang…, I looked at it, the light flashing in time with the ring…, I’m not sure what made me not pick it up straight away, but almost as soon as it started it stopped…, I shook my head and creased my brow, who the hell was calling at midnight…
I should have answered it; it could have been Tina…
It rang again…; I snapped it up, wanting to hear her voice…
“Hello…”
I recognized the voice but it wasn’t Tina’s.
“Alice…, what the hell time do you call this…?” I said, I felt annoyance that it was her and not Tina; it wasn’t her fault that I was expecting someone else’s voice.
“Bette…”
“Al.., I’m tired, please…, call me back in the morning…” I put the phone down without waiting for her to reply, I really wouldn’t be able to stand the questions of how our day went, not at this hour…, because that is what it would be about, Tina said Alice had dropped her here, she would know, and now she wanted details…, but fuck… not at midnight…
The phone rang again, Jesus, didn’t she ever give up…, no – it was Alice, she never gave up…
“Alice, can’t we talk tomorrow…, please…” I said without even saying hello.
“Bette…, its…, listen to me okay…”
I knew something was wrong from the way she spoke, I swallowed the lump that had instantly appeared in my throat…, “okay…” was all I could muster.
“Go to the front door, let Shane in…”
I got up and walked through the lounge, my heart was pounding, but I couldn’t seem to gather the courage to ask the question.
I unlocked the door as I saw Shane standing outside, she silently stepped inside, she obviously knew what was going on.
“Shane’s here…, what’s going on Al…, just…, fuck…, tell me what’s going on…”
“Okay…, Shane is going to look after Angelica okay…”
“Why…”
“You need to come here…”
“Where…” my heart was going a million miles an hour, this seemed to be happening in slow motion.
“Here…, my place…”
“Tell me…” I didn’t want to say it aloud, but the panic rising in me knew what she was about to say…
“It’s…, its Tina…”

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.
