    HOPE ALONE – Chapter 24

    Chapter 24

    Tina slumped down in her chair, pounding her fists on the desk in frustration.  The scene Bette created was in front of her, torturing her heart, given she was unable to reach Bette.  After leaving two messages on Bette’s cell phone, one for her at the University, and constructing an e-mail she was certain Bette would receive on her Blackberry, she was contemplating giving up her quest to locate her ex-wife.

    “You can’t think these things Bette,” Tina said to herself as she checked her cell phone and e-mail once more, knowing there would be no word from Bette since she was monitoring them both.

    Tina looked at her desk, unable to concentrate on the rewrite of ‘Lez Girls’, as her focus was solely on Bette and the words that she had written.   She grabbed a picture that always sat on her desk, one of Bette holding Angelica, and ran her finger over the glass that protected the picture from damage.  Her fingertip ran over Bette’s lips, formed in a perfect smile, bringing tears to Tina’s eyes.

    “You must be beating yourself up for all of this,” Tina said to the picture of her ex-wife.  “You weren’t the only reason we broke up.”

    Tina placed the picture back on her desk, where it usually sat, finally taking note of the picture next to it.  She smiled at the photo, remembering the day it had been taken.  Bette had surprised Tina that day, telling her with only an hour to prepare, that they were having an impromptu party with their friends.   Bette had rolled her eyes as Alice tried to force them into a pyramid shape to take the picture.  They had opted for a simple one, all gathering around the pool, and since Dana had passed on Tina found herself looking at it often.

    “Where would she be Dane?” Tina asked the picture feeling a sense of defeat wash over her. 

    Immediately, Tina’s eyes flashed to the woman sitting next to Dana as if Dana was sending a sign.

    “Why didn’t I think of that?” Tina berated herself while quickly dialing her phone.

    Tina tapped her pen as she waited for her call to be taken, now feeling a sense of rejuvenation at a possible lead on Bette’s location.

    1. Bravo!!! This silent reader had to finally come out! I have loved all your stories since the beginning this one included. You have done an amazing job with portraying what it is that make Bette and Tina our beloved Tibette! True Love indeed! Thankyou! Keep going pls :)

    2. So I was about to go to sleep and I checked the site one more time to see if you posted tonight. Glad I did! Great chapter, Gumby. Tina said it all, my friend. Good night! Lin

    3. This seems so easy for you to write…yet I know it isn’t…which is obvious because IC can’t write it like this. This story and your others are a precious gift to us….thankyou.

    4. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah. Shit! This is so sweet :> You handled the difficult conversation about THE SCENE with aplomb and now you’re steering them to “process” what caused the downfall of their relationship and own up to their mistakes and sins so that they can start over on a clean slate. Thanks a lot for allowing Bette and Tina to grow up, Gumby! How I wish you and the other hard-core B&T fanfic writers here are part of the show’s writing team. I’m still giddy about the episode 506 too. I’ll take whatever B&T moment IC throws to the TiBette mob. But the cheating thing really puts them on a slippery slope. And I hate IC for choosing to immerse these two tortured souls into more shitty stuff. Thanks again for this post, Gumby!

    5. I am so glad that Tina found Bette! Tina’s true love comment was so beautiful and powerful. Bette needs to share her fears with Tina, it’s time they talked as Tina said.

    6. Gumby this chapter was wonderful just as the rest. Your description of true love was perfect. You are doing and have done such an amazing job in portraying the love our girls have for each other, even when they are not together and with someone else. This has been quite a journey for them and for us to read it and you are preparing them for their future and I know you will let us see that also. Thanks for sharing your awesome talent with us.

    7. Gumby, oh Gumby, I had the pleasure of reading two chapters at once, I kniw thats cheating but I had to catch up. Your writing is so so so well sad then hard then scary than so, so tender, very passionate. This is a great story. Thank you. Md

    8. I couldn’t think of any better way to end this, this chapter was INCREDIBLE I love the way you write, wow Tina was unbelievable. To true love. Thanks Hun

    9. I agree with you about Bette still being with jodi when she and Tina reconnected physically. I had hoped that it would have gone a different way. I prefer your story to what is taking place on the show. The physical reconnection was awesome but will ic let it last?

    10. Gumby, you are one of the finest writers on this site and this is THE most beautiful Tibette story. You re truly an artist when you write about these two and the keyboard is your palette. I can never get enough updates for this story. Please post soon?

    11. Hello G-gal, This was awesome. Good to see Tina taking the bull by the horns and hunting Bette down. Loved the sisterly discussion between Bette and Kit. These two really have bonded over the last five years. This moment showed that Kit wants the best for Bette while being ready to kick her butt into action. Tina’s declaration was perfect although don;t think either she or Bette would be happy with it being available for all the see online. These gals are more private than that. Anywho, can’t wait to read how Bette responds. More please. Much appreciation from Your Loyal Fan.

    12. i’ll drink to true love!!! and i just want to add that true love is when you know everything about another person, even her darkest moments and biggest flaws and still you love all of her…and that’s what B&T have with each other, i think…i wish they would talk more on the show though :)

    13. I agree Gumby about episode 6. JB & LH gave themselves completely to these characters in this episode and it was sexy and hot. “Hope Alone” gives me what IC doesn’t. Your story shows that B & T have earned their second chance at true love. Great chapter. Happy Valentines Day!
