CHAPTER 2: TOO LATE?
She knew her friend. She knew what it all meant. She realized. For a split second, her world collapsed. Everything around her seemed to go into non-existence. Her brain didn’t function, everything disappeared. She couldn’t breathe. Her hands were shaking as the letter fell out of her hands and her intestines seemed to fall with it. She was empty inside. Back against the wall and through her knees, her world didn’t exist anymore, nothing was as it had been before. A life without Bette was no life. She didn’t feel the tears spilling over her cheeks.
But Tina had never been one to falter for long. As soon as realization hit her, she got up and ran to the kitchen. Maybe it wasn’t over yet. Maybe it wasn’t too late. She thought she would explode when she didn’t find the keys in the drawer. The sun peeking through the window reflected something, drawing her attention momentarily. She breathed a sigh of relief – she grabbed the keys. She slammed the front door, not bothering to look it. In her haste, she found it almost impossible to start the car. When she finally managed, she drove in a haze. She had forgotten all the traffic rules, speed limits. She ignored the red lights, the honks, the yelling. She had to get there, she had to get there soon. She didn’t hear the radio.
When she finally arrived, she left her car sideways on the driveway. She jumped out, not pulling out the key, not closing her door. The key of Bette’s front door was burning in her hand, she fiddled with it, almost crying of frustration. She opened the door, left it open, ran around in search of her best friend. She scanned the room quickly and went through to the staircase, the bedroom, the bathroom.
There she was. Seemingly cold, transpiring, shaking. A bottle in one hand, a handful of pills in the other. She didn’t notice her visitor at first. She took a deep breath, trying to calm herself and at the same time wondering what for. It would all be over soon. Finally, she would act on what had got her through all these agonizing years. It is possible to die.

Wow Genner! Those pages sure flew by so fast! Where’s the rest? :P
Please update soon. Loved it.
Can’t leave us like that. We need more and soon.
Wow, you sure go right in at the deep end! Two really great chapters. I think most lesbians can relate to the falling for your friend and having to watch her get with guys. But fingers crossed Bette’s luckier than the rest of us and that love is reciprocated…
Great! I can’t wait to read more. Just loved! congratulations
I’ m hooked. I hope you do good at your exams
First and foremost, thanks so much for a very different story. Thanks for the double posts today. Now we just need more. Can hardly wait for what Tina will say now that she has said, “whoever the hell said so”. I would guess we now get to know just how she feels about Bette and what she plans to do about it, if anything. As Bette said, she can’t really continue to live now that Tina knows and her love is not reciprocated.” The ball is in Tina’s court now. Please hurry and post and put us out of our misery. Thanks for posting.
Good luck on your exams! Please update as often or whenever you can.
Wow I am already hooked! The L Word/Grey’s Anatomy/Private Practice crossover, I love it! PPS!
Two great updates. Can’t wait to read more. Thank you.
Glad you are back.Poor Bette.PPS
