”Fuck Tina! Use your damn brain and grow up!! Quit feeling sorry for yourself! And don’t even think about using Matt to get over your rejection from Bette. That’s wrong and selfish! And Bette went through hell Tina which she has obviously worked through over the years and if she thinks that you two do not need to be together because you haven’t dealt with your guilt sit her down and talk this shit out. I can see her point. What’s wrong with being friends Tina. You were 9 years old and she was 10. You two are not the same people anymore. 20 years is a long time”
”I don’t see a point in getting my head straight without Bette there by my side while I’m going through it. I don’t want her not to be there with me. What good is it going to do for me to get help and its 5 years later that I’m finally over it. Am I supposed to show up on her doorstep and say ”Ok Bette I’m finally over the guilt now we can be together” It doesn’t make sense Tricia. Don’t you get it.”
Tricia shook her head
”No I don’t get it and apparently you don’t either. What’s wrong in her being there for you as a friend while you get over your guilt. Furthermore, how can you possibly think you can just demand a relationship with a woman you haven’t seen in 20 years. And that brings me to this question. Have you even been with a woman before Tina? Tricia asked
Tina stared at her sister and the silence gave Tricia her answer
”Don’t you see Tina what Bette is trying to say. You both aren’t ready for a relationship. Take the time to get to know her. Let her get to know you. The 30 year old Bette is not the 10 year old Bette. The 29 year old Tina is not the 9 year old Tina” Tricia says placing a hand on Tina’s shoulder “Sis you know I love you right?” Tricia asked and Tina nodded letting Tricia’s words sink in
”Yes I do”. She sighs “When she was taken away not only did I hate myself I felt I lost my heart that day she left. I have always loved her Tricia. I always told myself if I ever saw her again and if I ever got a chance to show her what she meant to me I wouldn’t waste any time so I figured it’s now or never. I wasn’t thinking or listening to anything else but you make sense. It’s just hard for me because I want to do everything I have dreamt of doing with her since she went away and I failed to ask or listen to what she wants”. Tina wipes her eyes from the tears that are falling “ God ..I feel like I have been given a second chance to make things right and be with the one I have loved all along and here I am ruining it. I can’t lose her again Tricia. And I need to see someone to work all this shit out in my head. I can’t carry this around anymore and I need help in forgiving myself. I want my chance with Bette that has been so generously placed in front of me” she says watching Tricia nod and walk over to the desk to write something down on a notepad. Tricia tears the piece of paper off and walks back Tina

No not Dan!!! Run Tina. Just kidding. Tricia is the voice of reason. She makes a lot of sense. Reconciling nine year old Tina with the present woman who has carried guilt for 20 years and loved ten year old Bette but never pursued a relationship with a woman does need some counseling to resolve. I will just settle for Matt? Really Tina? Bette on the other hand has had relationships. Failed relationships. Tina is stubborn and impulsive and Bette gets that already, Sounds like love to me. Love this Bette by the way. Give it time. Like this story.
Thank god for Trisha! She was able to get through Tina and let her see reason!
Time for Tina to grow up and deal with the guilt and my advice is to solve other character flaws too. Impulsive, selfish, stubborn and jump to conclusions is not endearing and Bette figured her out in less then 2 days.
Really, Dan!!!! Never liked him, maybe Tina should run or he can recomment another therapist.
Alana, what a cute girl!
Great story!
yeah, Dan took an unexpected leave of absence and Tina will go to a nice, calm and competent female therapist :)
I recall this story from a time ago. It is good to refresh and remember this tale. Thank you for bringing it back. this is another amazing gentle read that has an amazing journey to tell.
All will end well for these two destined souls. Thank you for taking the time to share. This story is a wondeful read.
Okay, give Dan a chance….. I always found Dan to be a rather neutral kind of guy. I neither liked nor disliked him, he was just there. Since he was not very important to the story…. I didn’t concern myself with him.
Well, Tina went to the right person for advice – Trisha. She at least listened and the light turned on. Alana is a lot like her mom…. give comfort and advice when its needed. She’s a smart four year old.
Let’s see how this talk goes in the guest house. Maybe Tricia made some impression, but old habits die hard. Tina best start thinking before she acts… This bit of drama was absolutely not called for. Bette certainly is a forgiving soul.. at least Tricia is in her corner. Hope Dan can do her some good….
Loving this story….. thanks for this chapter…. love to see more.
Not keen on Dan but we’ll see how his character developes in your hands!
Thanks for the post and for Tricia in there as the voice of reason.
Looking forward to the story continuing.
Good thing that Tricia was able to talk sense into Tina. Bette and Tina should try to get to know each other like they’d met just now. I’m curious to see whether Theresa will react to the T + B situation once she hears about it. She reacted after Bette’s identity was revealed so I hope for a reaction and some improvement on her condition.
Thanks for posting, I’m intrigued.
I really like this story. I’m so glad Tricia is sensible and not against what appears to be true love between Tina and Bette. We’ll see how Dan is in this story.
Great start to a very different perspective!
Tricia sounds like she’s going to be a great ally for them both?
Are there not any other therapists in LA? ……… can’t stand Dan Foxworthy!!
Can’t wait to read more !
Any chance of you finishing this story?
When are you posting more stuff?
Good story line! When can we expect more? Soon I hope!
