    Author Notes:

    Meltdown.

    Bette sat on a patio chair by the pool, surrounded by Jacks and Johnnies. Okay, actually, just one empty Jack and an almost-empty Johnnie. Soon she would be promoting herself to a Russian.

    Alcohol can be such wonderful company. It was the morning after that always sucked.

    Kind of like a drunken encounter with a one-night stand.

    She was reading — well, she had been reading, now she was just attempting to read — Dealing with Loss of a Loved One, some pansy-***** excuse of a pop psychology manual designed to fool grieving individuals their grief was special.

    Idiots, Bette thought, tossing the book into the pool.

    What was that book even doing in her house, anyway? She definitely wouldn’t have bought it. Tina hated pop psychology books as much as she did. Who would be the sorry-***** imbecile who would bring that self-help manual into their home?

    Oh, wait. That’s right. Tina didn’t live here anymore. She was Miss New York City now, who just happened to have been in LA when Bette called her. Tina could say what she wanted, but her ‘friends’ proposal was crock, and they both knew it. They weren’t friends, and to pretend that they were, well, that’s just Tina being superior.

    Just because Tina’s better than her didn’t give her the right to be all superior about it.

    So Tina was a lying manipulative career woman who put meetings ahead of the people she loved.

    Okay. That wasn’t fair. Tina hadn’t lied about anything.

    Unless…

    Bette leaned forward, and buried her face in her hands. Why had she asked Tina to come here and remind her of what they’d lost? Of what she’d lost? It was bad enough her father died, but did she really ask Tina to be here and do this to them?

    As her sobs began to break her down, Bette gave in to the sorrow that the past year had wrought upon her. Everything she wanted and had, and lost. The baby that they were supposed to have. The relationship she’d ruined for a fling with an attractive stranger. The woman she was destined to spend forever with. The family she and Tina were supposed to create. The parent who had stayed with her.

    1. So much drama, so much pain — this argument was inevitable. They have yet to deal with their pain together. Whether it was the baby, Bette’s job, their inability to communicate, Bette dad’s refusal to accept Tina, Bette’s breakdown on television, the miscarriage, Tina’s refusal to make Bette touch her/communicate after the miscarriage and especially Candace. They need to address these things; they can’t just assume because they love each other, it would overcome anything — that’s some “tv/novel” romance bullshit. Far from reality or even L Word reality.

    2. uh…wow. i just read your entire story and after this chapter can just say, uh…wow. didn’t see that coming in terms of what was “shared” with the other, but guess that it did have to be addressed at some point. again…wow!

    4. wow that was intense! I wonder what will happen to Bette…will she try something bad to herself? Without Tina…she is more than lost!. I cant wait to read next chapter…great story!.

    5. Fuck this is sad, just for a moment you said something wrong that you will regret it forever. Bette is drunk and she didn’t mean what she said but its too late Tina was gone, and hope she will come back soon. Post soon, thank you! Great chapter!

    12. When you drink too much falling down water, people say the most stupiest things but that was so damm low below the belt, that was horrible and cruel.
      Tina should have left at the start of the argument before it escalated.
      Is there are future for B&T together, i have no idea.
      Will still be reading your story which ever way you decide to take up.
      Thank you.

    13. Sometimes when you’re very drunken, you say bad things but what Bette said was very hurtful for Tina and Tina did the right thing leaving.
      Your story is so dramatic. I love it but I hope a happy end between B&T.

    20. How does Tina forgive that? How can Bette say that? You’ve inserted a wedge and I’m not sure how they’re going to remove it, if they ever do. It seems as if Bette has learnt nothing in the months since their separation. Tina on the other hand, though not dealing with her issues head on, does appear to be on a better footing to attempt a reconciliation.

    22. This story is very intense! Yeah, Bette said something horrible, but I guess I’m confused as to why Tina is even there. Between how she feels, and some of the things that she has said…and the things that Bette has said, I guess I’m questioning why Tina even came back in the first place. She went from being caring Tina, making breakfast one minute, to turning into Bette Porter the next. So, as much as I am enjoying your writing, the story itself is confusing to me. She flew back from New York to be with Bette, yet she told her she was here on business? Is that right? I’m sorry…maybe I just need to go back and read it again.

    23. OMG..i know we all wants B&T back together but that was not a nice thing to say even drunk…she is totally lost.. FIX this tiff_duke NOW!!!..great chapter as always..post soonnnn

    25. You did it this time Bette this is the worst hurt you could of done to Tina. Worse than sleeping with Candace. Bette needs help with the issues fucking with her. Get her help and let them find their way back to one another. please. Great story.
