Phoenix Rising (13)
Tina put her head in her hand and tried to hold back the tears that were erupting from her. Alice moved to the seat next to Tina and put her arm around her friend and after a moment spoke.
“Tina, it has to feel at least a little good knowing that she’s still crazy about you.”
Tina tried to look at her friend as she spoke, but couldn’t.
“Al…I want nothing more than to fall into her arms. To love her again and have her love me…but Al, even if we could get over all the shit…and that’s a very big if…Al, I’m not the same little Tina that left 2 years ago…Can you even imagine the conversation? See Bette, I was living with this guy and well we had a fight… but don’t worry…it wasn’t too bad because I was really drunk. Which by the way, is how I’ve been for the past 2 years, but don’t worry I’ve been sober for let’s see…14 days.”
Tina paused to catch her breath between sobs.
“And if that’s not enough to kill her, can you imagine her face when I tell her about fucking my way through several states.”
Alice held Tina as tight as she could as she sat stunned and speechless. After several minutes Alice finally found her voice.
“Tina, c’mon, look at me.”
Tina lifted her head and looked at her friend through the stream of tears.
“Tina, first of all…you’re still the same Tina. Now I have no idea if you and Bette will get back together…or if you should…but I can tell you this…it’s not just you that has things to be ashamed of. The way I see it, you are both fucking miserable without each other, so at the very least you both need some sort of closure…or something. Now if Bette can’t handle all this…then that’s Bette’s problem…from what I can see…you want to at least try and reconcile with Bette…and if that’s what you want, than you owe it to yourself to move forward in whatever way you see fit…if it doesn’t work…you move on…knowing that at least you tried…Remember what you’ve been saying…Life is too fucking short…”
Tina leaned back and looked at her friend and gave her a tired smile.
“You’re right Al…what Bette wants is up to Bette…by I do owe it to myself to be honest with myself about what I want. I can honestly say that I have no idea if Bette and I should be together…you know, after all that’s happened, but I do know I want to find out…To find out if I can get over her cheating…enough to be able to love her again…"
Tina paused and looked down at her hands and then quietly added.
"My future may or may not be with Bette, but I guess I won’t really have a future until I can resolve things with her…either way.”
“That’s it TK, no matter how hard it is you have to keep moving forward. You can do it. Like they say, the first step is always the hardest the rest is cake.”
Tina looked at her friend and gave her a playful smile through her tears.
“No one says that Alice.”
“Well I just did.”

Wow there is a lot of work to do. Okay, time to roll up our sleeves and get to work. Thanks for the awesome post DnA.
There is hope when Tina is able to move forward with her life. I don’t think Bette will dislike Tina for her actions. In fact Bette may blame herself for what Tina has been through.
Ibelieve Bette will take the blane for Tinas action. Yet both is guilty,Tina for shuting Bette out and Bette for steping our of her marriage. Both have taken a beating for two yrs. Get to the future. thanks
thats it they have to at least try… alice was good … pps
Alice is being such a good friend to Tina. She’s going to need her support. It won’t be easy opening up to Bette and telling her all the things she got herself into while she was away.
Please just post again soon.
OK for god’s sake just go see bette. You are thinking with this too much……way too much just do it
Bette will put all of the blame on herself. PPs
As is the way they have always done, both of them are over-thinking this situation. “Our girls” are hurting deeply and they just need to get together and just talk, forgive each other and MOVE ON, whether that be together or not. Of course, we all want them together always but, they won’t know until they talk. Bette will want to take all the blame and that shouldn’t happen. They both are guilty and no one forced them to do the things they did. It’s in the past and that is where it should stay. They should love each other and move forward together. They should also remember what happens when there is no communication and not ever repeat the past. Wonderful chapter. Thanks.
