    I am the same that was yours

    At the time, she naively thought divorce was the solution. The cure to all her own personal problems, but it wasn’t. It was more like a surgical operation for a sickness that couldn’t be solved with a scalpel. And now, the illness was worse because she now felt the phantom pains from her missing life, from her missing half, and the symptoms remained. 

    How could she ever begin to explain to Bette and Angie the absolute mess that hid behind her composed facade? She had been second-guessing her choices for months now, but how could she tell them? How could she ever, after everything she put them through? 

    God, Angie…

    Tina tilted her head to one side to get a better view of her daughter and felt her heart break all over again. She knew Angie was putting on a brave face since the announcement. She could see in the stiffness of her body that she was not as okay with her marrying Carrie as she wanted to appear. And while Tina could appreciate the sentiment, it felt like a bullet to the heart; Angie shouldn’t have to fake being okay. Children shouldn’t put on a show for their parents’ happiness; that was not their role. And more so, why didn’t she put a stop to it?

    “Uhm…” Angie’s eyes darted between them and the door from where Bette had just left. “So…uh, is there anything you are in the mood for? We have a lot of takeout menus to choose from”.

    Her chest ached. Angie seemed so anxious, so uncomfortable. When had they reached that point? When did the struggles between Bette and her start to affect Angie so deeply? How come she didn’t see it?

    “I’m fine with anything, baby,” she tried to smile, but her facial muscles seemed as frozen as the rest of her.

    Tina heard Carrie clear her throat nervously and turned to look at her for the first time in what felt like forever. When, in reality, it was only a few minutes. But, oh, they felt like the longest five fucking minutes of her fucking life.

    “Yeah, uh, me too.” Carrie’s voice trembled for a second, her eyes fixated on Tina, having seen the effects that the brief interaction with Bette had on her.

    1. I must say that your writing of Tina is what I perceived her thoughts and demeanor would be in being at Bette’s home with Carrie with her. The confusion of Tina in her mind seeing Bette and wondering how she got to this place at this time engaged to Carrie but missing Bette. The real grief that Bette is experiencing from the loss of Tina and not really knowing why. All the result of actions taken by Tina which obviously no one understands including Tina. I hope you really explore Tina’s process to get from happy with Bette to engaged to Carrie… its been the real mystery of Gen Q. I for one appreciate an attempt to rationalize how this could have happened. Thank you.

      Thank you for this chapter…. look forward to more.

      • Oh, thank you so much! I’m so happy that what I wrote resonates with how you perceived Tina’s thoughts and demeanour. I think we all have been wondering about some of the choices in Gen Q, because it felt so…confusing after the ending of TLW. And really, I appreciate your comment a lot, not only taking the time to write it but for sharing your thoughts!.

        Thank you for your lovely comment and I really hope you enjoy the next chapter too.

    2. Hey Sof,

      You have me in tears, right from the first chapter and followed up with this one.

      What is it what Tina is running from, what is it that decided to run and divorce Bette and leaving her and her daughter and ending up with Carrie? GQ really did a bad job but let’s be honest that whole show made no sense at all.

      I love the way you write Bette’s and Tina’s thoughts and as far for the end of the chapter, let Tina step up, break things of with Carrie. She doesn’t deserve this, make a clean break.

      Looking forward to read a new chapter!

      • Hi Bibi!

        Thanks so much for your lovely comment. I’m really glad you’re enjoying the story! I’m hoping to explore Tina’s motives and thoughts a bit more in the next chapter. I’ve been re-watching the OG TLW and I keep thinking they’ve grown up so much, I don’t see how the characters could have made some of the choices they made in GQ.

        Thanks again for your kind words, it really makes my day to know that you like my writing. As for the end of the chapter, don’t worry :)

        I hope you enjoy the next chapter! I hope to have it up by the end of this week at the very least.
