HOPE ALONE – Chapter 24
“Then don’t.”
“Oh that’s easy,” Bette said sarcastically. “I wish I would have thought about that.”
“What’s the issue here? That you wrote a scene for Jenny’s stupid movie that showed you all the mistakes you made in the past?”
Kit paused for effect before continuing, as Bette realized the question was rhetorical in nature.
“People make mistakes, she has too! The question is not whether you’ll go back there, it’s what are you going to do to make sure you don’t? You’re aware of it Baby Sis, that’s the first step. You can’t live in fear that you’ll go back, you’ll stop living.”
“Fear is a powerful motivator.”
“So is love,” Kit shot back. “I think it’s more powerful than fear.”
“I love her so much.”
“Then you won’t make those same mistakes,” Kit said lovingly. “You already know what it’s like to lose her and all that you love. You won’t do it again. You’ve proven that by leaving Jodi instead of just cheating on her with Tina. You’ve grown Bette, or you wouldn’t be here during the day making this a priority, you’d be in your office doing ‘Dean’ things for your job.”
Bette sighed and leaned back in the couch when a knock at Kit’s door broke into the conversation. She closed her eyes, rubbing her temples, to ward off a headache that threatened to take over and punish her dearly.
As Kit talked to one of her employees about a request someone had made to book a private party at The Planet, her eyes traveled to the familiar woman practically running into the building.
“Have them call me back in about 30 minutes,” Kit said as she smiled at the sight of Tina. “Excuse me Bette, I need to take care of this. Give me 5 minutes and I’ll be back.”
Kit watched as Tina quickly approached Alice, but kept her distance to subtly hear what she could of the conversation.
“Where is she Al?”
“Excuse me,” Alice said pointing to Max. “I’m starting a podcast.”
“I need to know where Bette is.”
“I told you,” Alice said rolling her eyes. “Jesus, I can make a map for you if you give me, oh 30 minutes, to finish this. I didn’t let her leave! Besides, you hung up on me.”

I love this story my friend, you are spot on
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 :)
you just summed up true love gumby. thank you
Were is the rest of page 5.I loved it Gumby.
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
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.
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!
That was perfect. Great chapter.
Oh God I wish tis was what happened. I love Tibette but I hate cheating. Great job in writing PPS
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.
I couldn’t resist Gumby… this is just too good not to leave a comment! Amazing story, I love the way you write… thanks for the quick post!
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.
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
I love this story. they are so perfect for one another. well done
Gumby–this was so sweet and touching. Thank you.
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
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?
Gumby…that is true love! Thank you for this story…I just love Alice.
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?
just a simple and heart felt thank you..I love this and al your other stories. You truly know this show, I only wish you wrote for it…
Tumeke!!!!
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.
Go tina!!! finally the TALK and of course whatever else is to follow, hehe :)
WOW
awwwwwww damnnnnn IM GUMBY DAMMIT no wait IM POKEY because this shit u writing right here is all that and a bag of chips. Girl keep doing you!!!!
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 :)
OMG, you made my heart beat very fast and tears in my eyes. Tina was right on that is true love. thanks HAPPY VALENTINE DAY TO YOU
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!
Uh huh!! And what’s next? *curious* Oh KD… you romantic heart! ;) xxx
That was great!
