Alice looked at Tina and saw the pain, as fresh as the night of Provocations. She saw the horror in her eyes. Tina spoke quietly staring straight ahead.
“I thought she was happy…I didn’t want to hurt her…I knew if I stayed I’d want to hurt her. Alice we shared so much together…how could she? Even after I left…I figured she was in love…I figured they were still together…”
“Tina, Bette…hey she…listen this is a lot right now. You need to concentrate on getting stronger. Hey by the way I have a bit of a surprise for you.”
Tina looked at Alice with some trepidation. Alice smiled.
“Don’t worry. Well I hope you’re not mad …but Shane’s on her way here.”
Tina looked at Alice with a very tender smile.
“First of all I don’t ever recall a time when I was ever mad at you and, second of all, I would give a limb to see Shane. God I’ve missed you guys. How is she?”
“She’s good, really good. I’ll let her give you all the details when she gets here. Tina, what happened after you left your parents?’
“Well Alice I tried really, really hard to forget….I left my parents house in a daze and just kept driving. I moved slowly through the south and then the southwest taking jobs waitressing and concentrating on the day to day of I don’t know …survival. At first it wasn’t so bad I kept busy you know…but I started partying…a lot…you know… anything to keep my mind from thinking about things.”
Tina looked at Alice with pleading eyes. Alice stood and walked over to her friend and pulled her in for a warm hug.
“Tina, it’s okay. It’s over now. You’re going to be alright…I promise…Listen we have to lighten things up a bit here or you’re going to be back in that hospital, but first I have to ask you one more thing. Okay?”
Tina forced a small smile and nodded at her friend.
“Tina, do you think we are safe here? Do you think he’ll come after you?”
Tina looked away from her friend and spoke softly.
“Al I think …this is going to sound so crazy…Alice he’s not that bad…He was trying to help me…You know help me get…sober…and I was doing okay…but the better I got …the more I started to move away from him…the day before this happened I fell off the wagon, you know I thought I could handle a couple of drinks, and he came to pick me up after work and he saw I was partying and he joined in and we got plastered. We were so crazy that night. Well, late the next day when we woke up…you know… the regret…the …well I started drinking and he joined me but later on I got crazy. I got so mad at him. I told him I was leaving and…well he tried to keep me from leaving…Al…it was so bad…but he …he wasn’t like that before…Al we were so wasted…”
“Tina, please don’t say you want to go back to him…he nearly killed you…”
Tina gave her friend a small smile through tears.
“No Al I don’t want to ever see the son of bitch again. I’m done destroying myself. I just…I… Al…I’m not sure where to start.”
Alice took Tina’s hand and smiled at her friend.
“TK, I think you’ve already started.”
“I hope so Al…I really hope so.”
“Come on let’s make some dinner, I’m starved.”

So glad you posted so soon. I’m torn. I love how the pace of the story is giving me a glimpse of how it could have been if Tina did up and leave. And I love this Tina. She’s made mistakes but she’s trying to find her way back. Great that Alice and Shane have got her back. But. How soon will Bette find her again? I’m dying to find out when…how…esp how soon? Tina and Bette just need to come home to each other again. Thanks for posting. As always, can’t wait for the next chappy.
hah, sooo interesting! I think I have already developped an addiction to this story…
Gosh this is terrible!!! I hate women beater. Tina please don’t give him any escuse. Violence never anything response. He can’t get away with this. Can’t wait to see what the family and friend would do to him VERY soon lol. PPVS
DnA, this is a very compelling story..
This is will be a very interesting story. Will Tina return to her former home and friends or will she continue to run.
Please dont let Tina be pregnant by this asshole. It will rip our(Alice, Shane, Bette, Tina and Me) hearts OUT. So, D, I’ll send you a whole dollar if you dont make that happen. NO bebe for Tina. Ok, two whole dollars. Oh, and PLEASE dont have Bette hooked up with the she-devil herself, Jodie. I’ll make it 5 whole dollars.
brwnsuga, you read my mind and upped the ante. lol. okay, you heard her D&A. You’ve got 5 bucks riding on this! thanks for the posts (and for the nice ending to “Starting Over”). :)
this is heartbreaking
Wow! This is going to tear Bette up.
What a great friend Alice is. Now she needs to get Tina back to LA and into Bette’s arms, right? LOL. Great story. PPS!
Well I´m with brwnsuga and I´ll throw a couple of Euro´s on the pile of persuasion.
Im really really loving this story.
I`m with brwnsuga too.Bette and Tina will fix this mess.
Great, you answered my questions why they were apart. But why didn’t Alice tell Tina what Bette was now doing. Hopefully she has left Candace but Lord please don’t let her be with jl., I can’t even write her name without seething, I dislike her so much, I’ve never seen her in anything that she wasn’t arrogant as hell. Can’t wait to see what happens next. Thanks for posting.
whoa, 2 drunks attack each other? No matter what TK, he had NO RIGHT to bash u. Guess he was one of those freaks who really preferred her drunk!!! Al and Shane need to get T outa Dodge quick smart. And why was Bette at Candy’s the night T went looking for her-if she really wanted to fix things with T??? Thx for the shout out. Great on the edge of my seat story. Plz update soon.
Hey D&A, I hope it was cathartic for Tina to finally tell a friend everything she had been through the last couple of years.Tina has been a rudderless boat on choppy seas. Bashing from one place to another without concern for herself.It is a real shame that she has hit the bottom of this barrel with such a physical bump although now she has her friends around the sky is clearing and a safe voyage can be sailed.Even after everythign Tina has been through she is able to talk about Bette. Yes, the hurt is still there which means there is hope. Hope that these gals heal together and rediscover their love. It is there just buried under the anguish and pain of betrayal.I am sure Alice and Shane will get the ball rolling and bring Tina back to LA. The rest of the journey is what I am looking forward to.Many thanks for this new twist.Your Loyal Fan.
Loving this story. Thank you.
what the fuck Tina, she must really love Bette to the depth of her soul to let their departure destroy her like this omg!
