Shane had also been visiting the house several times a week, but Bette thought her friend had become a little detached, or maybe it was just Bette’s new, drug-induced perception of Shane’s usual coolheadedness.
Bette had been receiving video calls from Chad once in a while, which always filled her heart with great joy. Their conversations flowed easily, more easily than one could imagine them between a teenage boy and an adult woman. They talked about everything, from Chad’s school routine to global issues. Chad argued a lot, but Bette hadn’t been cutting him any slack, figuring out that the boy needed his intellectual challenges to be fulfilled. Melissa had been acting coldly ever since she left the house as she had never called anymore or visited the house, but Bette didn’t care about her just as long as the woman let Chad talk to her. Bette couldn’t wait till she felt better to spend some qualified time with Chad.
There had been no word from Tina whatsoever, which only made Bette think about her even more. The brunette had texted Tina once, asking if she had made a decision about leaving the country, but had gotten no response. Shane had told Bette that Tina was doing good without disclosing more, but anyway letting Bette know that the blonde had been keeping in touch with pretty much everyone but her. With unyielding persistence Bette then had questioned Kit if and when Tina planned to leave, but much to Bette’s frustration Kit had assured her that the blonde never brought this subject up, neither did Kit ask her about it. Bette knew it was a lie.
The fact that Tina hadn’t left yet made Bette experience conflicting feelings, which she had talked about during the therapy session.
”Why must she torture me? Why can’t she just leave if she doesn’t want to be with me, or stay and at least text me back if she wants to be with me?” Bette had complained.
Dan had watched her with those probing, insightful eyes of his and said, ”It isn’t always about you, Bette.”
At times like these Bette really hated Dan.
***
Another three weeks had gone by. So far therapy had been working fine for Bette. Many of the core themes had been successfully addressed and discussed with Dan, in particular her childhood issues with her father and the absence of a mother figure, her destructive feelings of anger and hatred, her responsibility for her violent and criminal behavior, and of course her relationship with Tina. Bette had realized she needed to explore these themes to begin her healing process, needed to be involved in every aspect of her healing process in order for therapy to be successful. She had grown to trust Dan whom she had perceived to be her guide as she processed the various mistakes and losses she had experienced throughout her life.

Damage for Bette and Tina relationship seems beyond any repair.
Sorry, but i don’t know what else to say about this chapter
You are so cruel !
Please post the next chapter soon, although I am not sure if I will enjoy reading it, but because I so hate cliffhangers!

Enjoy the story? Really? This is a very difficult story to read. Especially in these challenging and frightening times. I have stuck with it but probably will not read any more. It is simply too depressing.
Well, I think there is hope here for Bette and Tina. If Bette can admit that Tina had a right to live her life as she saw fit when she was in prison. After all, it was Bette who told her to get on with her life and not visit or contact her again. To me, Bette’s response by having sex with her sister when she found out about Tina and Helena was far more harmful as it was deliberate retaliation for some perceived wrong and she was in a committed relationship with Tina. Where Tina may have acted unwisely, it was not meant in a malicious way. Bette’s behavior was a deliberate attempt to hurt Tina.
Thank you for writing this. I hope to see more of this story. I am so glad to see therapy helping Bette. I really want these two to work things out. I want Bette to become the best person she can be. She needs to relax and mend her relationships with all those people she has hurt.
Thanks you.
I don’t know. From one side i understand that only author can decide in which direction turn her story or when and how finish it, but from another – six years, more than 55 chapters and we come to the story where Tina feel absolutely nothing towards to Bette?
It’s just too hard read this for me as Tibette fan.
Angel 1981 you said it so much better than me. For those who have stayed with this story it is just too hard.
They touched bottom and they will rebound. Bette has to reach deep inside herself to come to grasp with how much she’s hurt people over the years and herself. I think this chapter is the one that brings us to a ultimate happy tibette ending.
I agree with you!
They have reached the bottom and now they can only take tiny steps up!
I’m so sorry you guys are disappointed with the story, but I understand. I know it’s depressing, but I had to show that Bette was suffering the ramifications of her dark side. I promise it will get better for both Bette and Tina in the next chapters.
To be clear, I’m not disappointed. I was sooo delighted to see another chapter from you after waiting for sooo long to see where you would take this story. I look forward reading more.
Hi Valerie,
I am not disapointed!
I still love this story much and will follow it till the end.
It was hard to read about Tina’s lack of feelings, but she seems to have closed down emotionally and not only her feelings to Bette but in generally.. I thought she went to a therapist too? She needs a Dan too!
So glad Bette went to a therapist and it is funny it always is Dan Foxworthy who is the therapist. She seems to be more healthy and stable. She really did hit the bottom and is slowly climbing up. It was the right thing to do to give Tina her passport and drivers licence so she could go home. Why didn’t Tina go home, she misses her family so much? I think because deep down she still loves Bette.
Glad that Bette has the support of Kit. Yes Bette was very harsh and cruel, but she deserve the support from the others as well. They knew about Bette’s criminal past and she send them away for their own safety and made sure they could start over. It little more understanding and support when Bette came there very traumatized would have been welcomed. I am disapointed in them. They should have helped Bette, instead they left her.
I understand completely why Tina left, what Bette did was totally wrong and she shouldn’t have done it.
I still believe Bette & Tina can build a healthy relationship, so please give us that ????
I hope you will be able to post soon.
Stay save and healthy ????
.this is my fav story, please don’t be too cruel and split Bette n Tina in this story…reading that Tina had lost her feeling to Bette is devastating.. i love them when they are together…they were so much in love to one and another.. and now i am sad :(
post test
Wow Val really great chapter so much emotion Bette is finally seeing herself and healing from her past. Most of all shes feeling again. Her heart still beats for one lost woman who is struggling herself..
it would be good to know her thoughts through all of this is she finding piece. Is she finding her way towards Bette maybe if Bette said what she was feeling now.. and apologize for her actions maybe tell her what happened. I know she still loves Bette but I can see why she had to lock those feeling away . Bette pushed her to it she had to protect her heart from more hurt.
They both have a long ways to go. Thank you truly enjoy your story.. dont stay away so long.
I really like this crime drama. My native language is also not English, but it is written all well, I read easily and with pleasure. A big request not to give it up, write on. We are all looking forward to continuing.
