I Need You Here -10
"Bette," Shane said softly.
"People always leave me," Bette whimpered as she felt her hands being pulled away from her gently. "People I love always leave me."
She looked up, desperation in her eyes, only to have her gaze met by the most loving hazel eyes she would ever know.
Tina smiled lovingly. "Sometimes they come back."
"Tee," Bette whispered, and searched Tina’s eyes for any signs of hatred, and only found love. The sobs became a little more powerful. "I’m sorry. I’m so, so sorry. I didn’t mean them, T, I swear I would never mean them."
"Ssshh, baby, I know." Tina said soothingly, touching Bette’s face lightly, tracing the tracks of her tears. "I know."
"I’m sorry." Bette’s eyes pleaded forgiveness. "Please, T. Please, I’m sorry. Forgive me. Please, T? Will you forgive me?"
"If I do, will you forgive yourself?" Tina asked softly. Bette unable to answer, Tina decided on another course of action. "Can you get up?"
Bette, all will gone from her body, allowed Tina to pull her to her feet, and lead her to the bed, away from the broken glass.
Lara hesitantly handed Tina the first aid kit.
"Thanks," Tina smiled at Shane and Lara. "I’ll take it from here."
"Are you sure? We can stay," Shane offered.
Tina glanced at Bette, who sat crying on the bed. "I think we’ll be fine."
"Kit’s supposed to come by, but we’ll just call her." Lara informed Tina.
"Thanks," Tina nodded. "Just lock the door on your way out."
The two nodded, then Shane hesitated before she turned to leave. She looked questioningly at Tina.
"My purse is on the kitchen counter," Tina told her, as if reading her mind.
Shane smiled. "I’ll be next door if you need anything."
Tina nodded again, and the two left the room. She turned back to Bette. "You look exhausted."
"I’m just so tired," Bette whispered, tears still running down her cheeks. "You came back."
"I did."
"I thought I’d lost you."
Tina didn’t answer as she took Bette’s hands, examining the injury then began to clean it.
"I’m really sorry about what I said, T. I didn’t–"
"It was a really cheap shot, you know that, right?" Tina asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
"It’s unforgivable," Bette admitted.
"But do you know why I’m going to forgive you?"
Bette shook her head.
"Because you’re asking." Tina met Bette’s questioning gaze, wrapping gauze on Bette’s hands. "And it wasn’t the best way to find out, but at least I know you still think about him."
"I do. All the time." Bette’s heart broke, and Tina’s kindness, Tina’s love, the very fact that Tina was here, now, with her, destroyed the last of Bette’s defenses, and the tears came completely. Her sobs wracked her body, and she was just too weak to fight it. "They’re gone. They’re really gone. Daddy. Our little boy."
As she gave in to her grief, Bette felt Tina’s arms wrap around her, cradling her, holding her and comforting her as she acknowledged her loss.
As Bette the Great broke down.

Thank you Tiff. It wasn’t “rough” at all so keep posting away as soon as you finish it.
So intens! Keep posting…
OMG! That was beautiful!
How do you make such sad content seem so very beautiful? Thank you so much for this chapter and a wonderful story. I hope this new Bette and Tina can make it through.
still really enjoying your story. thanks for posting another chapter.
Aww..that was so fvcking intense and sweet…im so glad Tina came back..poor Bette I wonder if she will open up even more to Tina.. Keep up the awesome story! Waiting for your next chapter ;)
That was intense, very well written.
Thank you.
That was so sad but great that Tina has come back. Bette is letting all her fears come out now.
This was not rough whatsoever. Please continue this.
Perceptive of Tina to recognise that her forgiving Bette is not Bette forgiving herself – and it’s not just the crack about loosing the baby. I don’t know if Bette will ever forgive herself. In reality somebody like Bette probably never could. Still this is fiction so maybe you can get Tina to work on her a bit;-)
OMG T I love you to death for this one. It hits so close to home with my father. It just knocked the breath out of me. If and when she breaks down, it’ll be worse than any of us expects.
Tina smiled lovingly. “Sometimes they come back.”
“Her sobs wracked her body, and she was just too weak to fight it. “They’re gone. They’re really gone. Daddy. Our little boy.”
Forgive me if I copy. I have a broken elbow/arm from falling off the house. Don’t ask…
Very nice — in a very intense and tough-to-read-since-it’s-so-good kind of way.
