Honesty chapter 2
Jodie looked cautiously into Bette’s eyes. Bette could not make eye contact. Jodie cupped Bette’s chin in her hand and raised her face up forcing Bette to look at her. She sobbed uncontrollably. Her legs could barely hold her and she could only say …..
”I’m so sorry Jodie. I .. am … sooooo sorry that you misunderstood my gift. As an art lover, I understood the importance of this sign to you. The shear, raw metal. The impression that it will leave with those who appreciate your art. I could never have said that I am passionate about art if I had not brought this sign to you.”
Jodie, stepping back, cannot believe what she is hearing.
“But, you stole this sign for me.” No more signing, Jodie is speaking now. “You stole this sign for me. What do you mean I misunderstood your gift? Fuck you Bette. Fuuuuck you.” Jodie is now screaming. “Fuck you!”
Now speaking and forcefully signing, “Fuck you Bette. You have fucking broken my heart and I hate you. I hate you Bette Porter! I fucking haaaaate you!”
“aaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh” Jodie screams as though her life is being sucked away.
Jodie runs from in front of Bette, crying and screaming into Tom’s arms. The scream finally stops. There is no more breath to scream. She is limp and broken. She cannot summons the strength to scream anymore, she is so distraught.
Bette wants to console her but Tom pushes her away. “I think you have done enough Bette. You need to go”.
“Tom, I didn’t know that she was in love with me. I swear, I didn’t know. I really thought it was over and I wanted to remain friends. The sign was a peace offering for not going to the reception at the university. Tom, please tell her. Pleeease tell her I didn’t mean to hurt her. I didn’t know Tom. GOD .. TOM, TELL .. HER .. PLEASE!” I won’t leave until she hears it.”
Tom pulls back slightly from Jodie’s grasp. He slowly and deliberately signs to her. “Jodie, listen. Please listen. Bette wants you to hear her side of this”.

Well, that went about like I thought it would now let’s get Bette back to Tina and Baby Angie.Tina and Bette belong together. Jodie could never get used to having Angie around and didn’t want to be around her. enough said. Happy it’s over for those two. Get Bette back to CA and her two special loves. Let them open up to each other when Bette gets back, it just has to happen. PPS
Bette should just give up trying to form a friendship with jodi and just get on the first plane back to Tina and Angie.While she is in New York (wasting her time with Jodi) she is missing time with her daughter and Tina (not good)Bette get your arse back to LA girl!!!!!like others have said,you really should have written your version for the show because it is ssssssssssooooooooooo much better than their version. :) PPS thanks
Just found your story and look forward to the next chapter. Hopefully, the honesty will continue when she sees Tina. I never saw the connection between Bette and Jodie to be anything more than friends, at best… no chemistry.
I don’t think Bette knew that she was going to do that when she first got on that plane to NY. I think in her head she had planned to reunite with jodi, but when push came to shove Tina will always be in her heart.
That is what I’m talking about..not get Bette’s ass on a plane and back to Tina. ; )
As much as I’m not a big Jodi fan, Bette should have attached a note, stating that this was an apology. But, then again I think she was flying by the seat of her pants. Ironic how her thought was that “Tina” had not prepared her for that. HEllo, that’s because she wants your ass back home with her. I have no doubt that Bette loves Tina, I think she’s just scared because she’s not sure how Tina feels. So get your butt back home and find out.
Wow, that was brilliant. I know that Bette did the right thing but unknowingly she rubbed salt in Jodie’s wound. I do think she needed to know that she wouldn’t cave in at Jodie’s begging before she returned to Tina. Now if you can just get them to admit to each other their feelings.
yeah, bette still hasn’t learned that she can’t control another persons feelings and responses…sad, because she’s hurt jodi but jodi will recover…bette belongs with her family wherever they are…
Bette did the right thing and now let her go home to Tina !
Bette did the right thing. Her heart belongs to Tina. PPS!!
Wow, the show writers should have hired you. I am with skycaptain though, FED EX, UPS BETTE!. She’s knows her heart will always belong with Tee.
History and a child are not of themselves going to be enough to keep Bette and Tina together. I’m getting Bette’s overwhelming love for Angelica, but her love for Tina is not as clear to me. Sounds like Bette is still uncertain about that. Look forward to reading what happens next!
FED EX definitely might have worked but it is so NOT Bette. She needs to connect personally with those in her life. I wish the writers of TLW would have used this approach in the show – it really makes more sense for Bette to go to New York with an apology rather than as an attempt to bring Jodi back with her. Bette was pulling away from Jodi before her exhibition. On top of that, Jodi takes the job in NY and resigns her position at CU without even speaking with Bette. That would seem to indicate that their relationship as lovers was over. Oh well! Thanks for posting the story. I’m looking forward to Bette’s return to LA… PPS!!!
it is about time bette came to her senses and she should have never flew to NY if she had any doubts, the break would have went better! awesome update yeah no tractor now lets get bette home to tins ASAP :)PPS
this may sound bad…but if she wasn’t going to “be” with jodie…she could have fed-ex that sign with a note…her being there along with the sign sent mixed messages. i would have thought she loved me and wanted me too. more please.
