HOPE ALONE – Chapter 21
Tina moved on to the next point; Bette was so involved in the opening of Provocations that it made sense to wait for that to end so Bette wouldn’t be overwhelmed again. Tina had learned that lesson the hard way, when she tried the first time to tell Bette she was pregnant.
The time that Tina was waiting for, when the first trimester ended and Provocations was done showing at The CAC, never came. The opening night of Provocations was the end of their relationship as they had known it.
“How could I have gone to her when she was still with Candace to tell her I was pregnant?” Tina wondered aloud as she wiped tears from her cheeks. “She obviously wanted Candace more than what we had.”
Tina looked at her notes and started to write the scene above them, glancing down to reference her notes briefly as she typed.
The scene began with Bette walking into their bedroom, as she actually had, and hanging up her jacket. Tina’s hands shook as she continued to type, reliving one of the most upsetting moments of her life.
“She knew when she looked at my reflection in the mirror,” Tina muttered as she continued to type out the scene replaying in her mind.
Tina carefully described the deliberate actions of Bette in the following moments, the calculated and slow walk she made to approach Tina as she stood. Her eyes told Tina everything she needed to know, her assumption had been right, and Bette wouldn’t be able to hide her affair any longer.
“I know,” Tina had expressed in a wavering voice. “I saw it.”
Tina blinked to focus her eyes on the computer screen before her. She remembered shoving Bette away as Bette tried to hug her, needing to control the situation given her lack of control in the recent years of their relationship.
“I’m sorry,” Bette had whispered with tears in her eyes.
Tina’s anger had manifested itself in a physical release, her hand smacking Bette’s beautiful face as hard as she could, causing Bette to momentarily recoil before gaining her composure.
“I love you,” Bette had insisted, yet Tina knew their love was not as strong as she once thought if Bette could stray outside of their relationship.

They are talking, together they can come up with something that will blow the minds of all the blood suckers. Kate and Jenny. We for get that Bette and Tina are the only ones that really knows their life. Together they can win this battle. thanks
I am glad that Tina shared what scene she was being asked to write. I love Bette reaching out and showing Tina her feelings. Together these two can conquer anything. Oh and Kate, well let’s just say I am hoping she gets put in her place SOON. :)
Well done.
Oh, god Gumby I just love this story, tks
LOL
Gumby you are doing a great job with this story. You express their mutual pain so well. pps
WOW!!!!! Glad to see them talking. Please let Bette have some words with Kate. Thank you I so love this story.
Good that they talk and now they will work everything out and move forward, good that Bette is there to help Tina. Please post more, thanks!
Chapter after chapter your incredible talent shines through. I hope that you feel pride when you read this story, because you are doing an exceptional job. Thank you…thank you!
I don’t know how you do it. That seems so spot on it’s scary. You write them both so well. PPS I can’t wait for more.
Painful, but somehow cathartic. I love that Bette is helping Tina
This chapter was painfully and lovingly perfect. Thank you.
GUMBYYYYYYYYYYYYY DAMMITTTTTTT IIIIIIIII LIKEEEE IT LOL
ouch, baby that was so very much pain, I can’t even believe that, that was not more painful then the night it happened, that night they were on auto pilot and not thinking thing over but now they had to mesh memories and relive all that pain, So can you please let them write the 2 weeks and then let Bette go talk to Kate, (in that alpha Bette kinda way) I love that. Thanks for the up date Gumby, you rock. Md
Gumby, you are unbelievable! I love the way you have constructed this whole story to explain all of the things that contributed to their demise. It’s brilliant…their relationship is reconstructed as they talk about what broke it down.
Gumby….I come back to the site, after a long maternity hiatus and you continue to write the most amazing stories. Thank you for this B & T!
Thank you for allowing them to talk out that very difficult time in their life. With Bette’s help Tina will be able to bring to life some form of that night but it will also help in putting that night in behind them. This is a new beginning for them and something in the future to build onto.
Just love this story. B&T are talking and in tune at working out their issues. Thank you for sharing this great story.
Completely FAB!
So much emotional drama. Great writing as always. I am still not sure if not both Bette of old and current Bette would have a stronger reaction to Tina even entertaining the idea of relaying any info from that night. I mean come on should’nt Kate be happy to get some space for some of her own ideas? Cant wait to read more.
u’ve got to post soon…i have to read what bette and tina come up with…
Gumby the machine must have eaten th last two pages because you just couldn’t have stopped there, surely not. Hopefully you will post another chapter tomorrow so that we will not faint from anticipation.Great story and you are doing a magnificent job with it. your writing is brillant and you convey all the pain, agony, triumph,joy and love they feel for each other. Even through the pain they carry from the past they can now look beyond the pain and defend each other and still have that undying love and devotion for each other. That is very powerful and you have conveyed it beautifully with Bette feeling Tina’s pain that she inflicted and offering to help her thru it so Tina doesn’t ever go through all that alone again. That’s LOVE. To be able to do all that and find that you love that person on a much deeper level than you ever thought you could, that’s the ultimate statement of love. Thank you so much for sharing this story with us and I am always very eager for the next chapter. You should be writing the season.
well at least they talked…(what happened that night I can never see as rape, or forced by either of them. It was pain and anguish coming out, as LH so eloquently put in in one of her interviews). So now am waiting on the next post Gumby, as am I on “lazy afternoons”
Yes for them talking. i’m happy that tina spoke about her feelings and even more so that bette followed tina’s lead. kate better watch out cuz bette will in turbo alpha mode over tina.
Wow I am struck with how perfect you have wove this together. I love the why they listen to each other. Its beautiful, thank you for giving it to us
Come on! How can you be hoping that we like this chap when it was …. totally and purely SPECTACULAR! Ohh.. I wish you where hired to write season 6!! Take care my friend and now WE hope you post soon!
I love this chapter, wow they are really talking I thought this day wouldn’t come soon, You are an incredible writer dear and this story is one of your amazing work, please post soon I just can’t wait to see what will happen next and what are they going to talk about?? With all my best, have a great day friend. Thanks
Great chap. pps
loving it…waiting for the next and the next and the next………
I will serve jenny right when they make this rock!!!!!!! but boy did that hurt alot
Painful night for both of them. As much as B & T hate that Jenny created “Lez Girls” it might be what brings them back together. The two of them having to hash out the why’s will make them stronger. PS.
this was wonderful, them talking, processing and bette offering to help…thank you
Hello Gumby, I am just catching up with all the marvelous writing having spent two weeks ill with Chicken Pox. Not good when you are an adult but nearly all recovered now. So on to your wonderful writing and delightful drama. This chapter should just how difficult but necessary it is for Tina and Bette to deal with the events of their break-up before they can truly move forward. The heartbreak and hurt are evident here. You capture all of the angst and distress that revisiting and reliving this time has brought these gals. I love the fact that they are sharing their thoughts with one another. Finally… This is a definite move forward and shows that both these gals want more for the future. They both need closure on this heinous night. I do agree that sharing all of these revelations with the rest of the world would ultimately be detrimental to their love together. I do want them to work towards a mutually agreeable version of the destruction of their partnership. Bette appearing at Tina’s office was a wonderful scene. More please of this must read adventure. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan,
Again you prove why you are the most talented writer on the site – with the most insight and sheer skill with words. thanks G xxx
