“Yeah, I did. And she sounded horrible” Shane remembered. “I had never heard Tina sound like that before. It’s really hard to explain but she really sounded like a totally different person. Gone was the woman that I had known for so long, happy, jovial, glad to be alive” she said as she thought back to the sound of Tina’s voice.
“I don’t know” she said, “it was really weird. I kept looking at my phone to be sure that I had dialed the number that she had given me.”
“What did she want?” asked Bette.
Shane had drifted off as she thought back to that first conversation that she had had with Tina. The thought of it still deeply disturbed her.
Bette’s question brought her back to the present and she said, “I’m sorry, Bette. What did you say?”
“Tina, what did she want?” she repeated.
“Oh, right” she said. “Well, bottom line was that she wanted to know how you were doing.”
“How I was doing?” Bette asked incredulously, finding this information a little difficult to swallow. “Why would she have possibly cared how I was doing?”
Shane just looked at Bette, not knowing how to answer her question and so just forged ahead.
“I don’t know why she chose me to call or why she called when she did, but she did, and I think that I kinda bec
“I don’t understand” said Bette. “How can one conversation establish a lifeline to me?”
“It wasn’t one conversation, Bette. That’s what I wanted to tell you. She called me every day for 2 months straight, never missing a day.”
Bette just looked at Shane, no response at all to this bit of information. She’d had no idea that Tina even cared about her, much less called to check in.
“I don’t understand, Shane” was all Bette was able to get out.
“I know” said Shane as she reached over and rubbed Bette’s shoulder. “She made me swear that I wouldn’t tell you, but I got the impression that news of you was the only thing that was keeping her alive.”
“You” said Bette, still not believing that she was hearing this. “You talked to her every day for two months?” she asked in

God Skip…I love the way you write.
It can’t get much better than 3 new chapters from you in a week Skip. I’m loving this story and can’t wait for whatever you have planned for B&T.
I find myself rereading your stuff over and over and over…the way you write is so natural to read, there is so much depth to your characters…I know I sound dumb..but tks I’m totally rivited to this story, pls post soon the wait kills me….
This is a very well done chapter. Thank you for sharing your creativity.
Skipton, I will echo what Seahurst wrote and add I also like the way you think. I can see that Bette will have some thinking to do and also to let Tina in so to speak and hear what she has to say with an almost open mind, and still see and feel the love Tina has for her. Love this story. Thanks.
Excellent, as usual. Pls post soon. I’d almost rather read one your stories than see the upcoming third season of L.
At least Bette has something to think about,other than her angry with Tina. Tina had to have a darn good reason for doing what she did. Now if she can get this across to Bette. thanks
I love, love, love reading this story. It’s great and you write it so well…and you’ve made me SO anxious to hear Tina’s explanation to Bette. Thanks!
skip…i’m in love with this story! I’m going to save all of your posts so that I can enjoy them again and again! Your writing is awesome! Thank you.
oh dear God.. im totally lost…lol..but one thing i have sure Tina was in pain and still do..but now she have no fear to talk to Bette what she is feeling..i hope Bette give her and give them a chance..great as always post soon thanks :o)
I think in her heart, Bette knows what Tina wants very well and she also loves Tina as always. She’s just doing sth like revenge. But she knows she can’t insist for long. =P
Wow, this is great stuff. Please continue.
Hiya Skip!! Thanks for the update. I miss your other stories…can you pls throw me a bone and let me know when you will update? Thanks in advance!!
This story is enthralling! I just love your writing!!!
Shane to the rescue!!! Yea!!!!!
Uhhhh…ok; I think you’re posting too quickly now. Just kidding. Really, just kidding but it is a lot to take in, ya know? And, I agree with Seahurst. Thanks!
It always does my heart good to read anything you write Skippy!Here is my hope that as thick as Bette’s head can be, she actually takes the time to think about all that Shane has said. Please post another 3 chapters Back2kcaB sQQn!
Amazing, thanks for posting. Nobody can do it like you
Wow two in two days. I am so in love with this story. What is Bette to think? I would be so lost if I were her. Somewhere in the back of her mind she has got to be thinking if my heart breaks again there will be no fixing it. Thanks for the post
We are so lucky to get another post so soon. Think we can get another over the weekend…ahh…love hurts..
Great chapter skip love your writing and your story please continue to post soon!!!!
Its getting more interesting by the chapter
Thanks for posting 2 so quickly. Love the way you write. Can’t wait to see where you talk these girls.
i think that’s what all bette’s friends should do – tell her good things about tina so at least bette will give tina chance to explain…i know tina had it coming but as shane said, tina wouldn’t do things for now reason…thanks for posting another wonderful chapter
Love your dialogue. It flows so naturally.Hate Tina. Still. She better have a very good explanation for all this. Instead of talking to Shane every day for two months, she could have been communicating with Bette. If I were Bette, Shane’s revelation would only serve to make me more incensed. Tina could go take a flying leap. However…(ahem) I trust that you will explain it all for us in due time, Skipton. Until then, I will rely on the kindness of strangers and the richness of your fan fiction to get me through. Thanks!
Your writing is very well done. That’s what had hooked me in 6 Months (Bette’s letter, in particular). This story is showing the same quality. Please keep it up.
All caught up now & popping Advil like crazy. “You and I both know Tina, and she wouldn’t have done what she did without a really good reason” Um….well, I ain’t falling for it. If Tina is still alive, then she could have been talking a long time ago. No dice mon. What the heck happened? She better start explaining or stay held up at The Standard. I think Bette should have run her over in the parking lot. But no one asked me. You’re making me want to curse somebody out Skip. No one in particular, just a poor, random law-abiding person. See what you do to me! Excellent & intriguing writing, as always.
Great story, love your writing….Shane is such a good friend , Bette and Tina are lucky to have ger around…I hope they talk soon. Thanks a bunch Skip.
skippy u made my nite thanks
I guess the person that coined the phrase love hurts knew what they were talking about. I still don’t get how this impromptu story by Shane warrants Bette putting her pain and anger aside to listen to Tina’s explanation, which I have heard and I ain’t buying it. Not because you love someone means that you and that person should be together. Tina is going to have to make me believe that she and Bette belong together. Mucho thanks for the unexpected post in the same day, although I got to it the day after.
3 chapters this week…!but still not enuf.. hee~ but glad u could post so often! lvoe reading your stories..!
Whew, I haven’t been away that long, and wow 3 chapters to catch up on. It totally put a glitch in my morning plans. My GF is giving me “that look”. When I explained that Skipton had written 3 new chapters, all was forgiven. Thanks for such a wonderful way to start my day. Now back to my real life….which is not so bad either! Looking forward to more.
hey skip, i’ve been mia for a long time and decided to catch up on some of my favs, and you by far are one of them. your writing is absolutely amazing. i’m so hooked on this story. what will happen next? how is bette gonna handle things? will tina get her back? how will lee fit into things, when the proverbial dung hits the fan? wow, you’ve woven a story so real and elaborately written, no one could resist. thanks for writing and please continue soon.
hey skip, just caught up with ur story and god! this is amazing. i was crying thru most of the chapters. hope u post soon and thanks for writing!
I just caught up. What an amazing tale u tell. thank U.
Brilliant – your writing is so wonderful crisp clear flowing and startlng all at once. and I love that Shane can give Bette some news that makes her see beyond her anger and fear.
Skipton,What a wonderful revelation for Bette to finally be a party to.Good to know that Shane still keeps a confidence when she needs to but will let the fact be known when she feels they need to be.This eye-opener seems to be softening Bette’s resolve towards Tina and getting her to move forward and leave the past where it belongs.This event may precipitate Bette into clearing the air with Tina by allowing Tina to divulge the truth about why she left.Bette’s resistance is being overwhelmed by her desire to know the truth so maybe there is a little light at the end of this long and arduous tunnel.Again, your brilliance illuminates every word and scene. Bette’s confusion and rage is tangible while Shane’s quiet determination to out the truth is palpable. I am truly in awe of your gift.Thank you so much for sharing it with me. I will be here watching and waiting for your next installment.Your Loyal Fan.
Please post soon, I’m checkin’ every hour for the next chapter….
Sorry, I’m a little behind in my reading.Enjoyed this chapter and the conversation between Bette and Shane. I have to second Techgal’s opinion on this one though, I would be mad too if T spoke to Shane every day and not one word for me. I’ll be here for the explanations and everything else. Great story!
I’d just be repeating what everyone else has said, so just say this: excellent! Thanks.
