Tina realized Bette was right. She needed to figure this out.
“What was it … what was wrong with her that she jumps to the first suggestion that Bette is betraying her, Angelica or anyone?”
Tina was trying to recreate the whole scenario in her mind so she could find the point where doubt began to creep into her thinking. It was true the moment she walked into the house she just knew Bette had done something. It was in her body language, her posture, her presence, the way Alice and the others were looking first at Tina and then at Bette.
“They were waiting for my reaction. My bad reaction.” Tina says in a whisper to herself. “Why did she have to give them what they were waiting for?”
Tina knew in her own mind she had already crossed those bridges on trust with Bette. She had even created a process where she held Bette up to her words, matching her actions to those very words. Bette passes that test just like she passed every test Tina consciously or unconsciously held Bette up to.
“Wasn’t that what had taken me so much time to begin with?”
They had really achieved a better level of trust. A place where Tina felt safe and secure.
“Why did I jump to the level of no return with the blame? Bette has always owned up to her mistakes. She always has only the bests of intentions. She was only trying to get Angelica to safety. What was her crime that she didn’t call me?”
This thought makes Tina sick inside. Tina begins to sweat as heat flashes through her body and settles in her stomach. The sensation of heat flowing through her body is accompanied with shorter more frequent breaths of air.
“Does all of this really boil down to her not trusting Bette enough to make decisions about Angelica?”
This realization is like a bomb going off in Tina’s head. The ringing in her ears begins as a low hum which is constant and increasing in volume.
“This can’t be right. She loves Bette, she knows of Bette’s integrity, her responsibility, the security she provides for both her and Angelica. This can’t be about me not trusting her with Angelica.”

dayum this is exciting. remember us. were hanging on also. have a good trip and thanks.
Oh no!!! That can’t be good! J – this is an awesome story! I just love it!
Nooo, I love Dan, he seems so sweet! Poor little Angie, all she wanted to do was go to sleepaway camp and draw and now everything is all screwy!! hope this little family can recover from the hurricane that is there lives! Post when you can….
I don’t usually comment on tibette stories but have to throw my 2 cents in on this one..well written and quite exciting and cliffhanging! Tina is being classic Tina here..she didn’t consult Bette either before allowing A to go to the mountains…and what if something had gone wrong with that plan? It doesn’t surprise me at all that Tina has been hanging onto this card all this time, and IMO, “only love can hurt so deep” and “of course its normal to feel mistrust after betrayal” is way off. It’s been TEN years, everyone makes mistakes, even Tina, no doubt, but she continues to keep score with Bette’s, and her anger has nothing to do with being afraid for Angelica..if it was she would not have mentioned the affair. Then, after she tears Bette’s heart out, her next words are I need you….I…I…I…It’s always only about Tina, her feelings, her wants, regardless of impact on others. I am so glad Bette has had enough, finally. Real love forgives and cares for the other person and no one can tell me that Tina really loves Bette. Hope for next post soon…what WILL happen with Anglelica and Dan!!! Hi hi hi sky!!!!
I am on the edge of my seat, I am totally enjoying the drama, a rare thing to do for a romantic like myself:-)You are truly THE drama queen and I mean that in the best way possible;-)pps
EXCELLENT! Hey I just loved this JW, it’s powerful:Bette turned “I have tried too Tina. Tried to do this on your terms … letting you dictate the speed and shape this journey has taken. I’ve tried my best to be what I thought was the best I can be for you and for Angelica. It hasn’t been easy. There were times I just wanted to scream from the frustration of it all but I just grinned and bore it Tina. You were in the driver seat. Maybe I shouldn’t have put so much faith in you.” MORE MORE MORE
Fantastic update, you had my heart pounding. It’s really great seeing so many of the talented writers encouraging each others work, very nice indeed.
What happened to Dan? WHat happened with B&T?
This is bad and please let Angie be ok!
This is way too frightening for fanfic! j/kExciting and profoundly sad as well. I hope we get some resolution w/the next chapter. PPS. Please don’t leave us hanging.
Sounds like everybody needs to hold on tight right about now. Have a good trip.
You really can’t leave this hanging. I’ve tuned into the weather channel and its not looking good for Hurricane Alice, or Bette and Tina come to think of it!! Great to have you back posting mate!
The drama just keeps on coming – wave after wave! Terrific, gripping story. Please don’t keep us in suspence.
Oh my, you do know how to keep us reeling…hoping for calmer weather in the near future. Thank you!
J–thanks for the airport post!! this story just keeps getting more and more intense… i hope the ‘weather’ calms soon and leaves behind nothing but love in the air! have a good trip
Hey JWet, More exhausting episodes of this exhilirating drama from you. I love that when you are the zone the story flows out like the tidal wave. Often it whas brought me down but I always manage to resurface and stand again. O loved the simplicity of this chapter. Getting into Bette and Tina’s heads is always a thrill. Even if it is them dealing with their own inadequacies and mistakes. I do hope that the light is beginning to illuminate theire thoughts and show them the reality of recent events. It is only by being together is the whole worth more than the sum of the parts. Bette and Tina understand and belong together. only this type of comprehension of one another allow you to go for the jugular and inflect this much pain. Please get them talking again and moving forward to look for their child. As for Angelica I do hope that the storm will pass and that a safe and happy finale will occur, Many thanks for all your wonderful and magical words. The story jumps off the page and lights up my day. Your Loyal Fan.
THIS IS WHY YOU ARE ONE OF THE BEST ON THIS SITE!!! THIS IS WHY YOU ARE MISSED WHEN YOU DON’T POST!!! Did you hear that all the way from the West Coast?! LOL Travel safe, I will talk with you soon…and thanks for posting this!
Be safe on your trip please because you have left us hanging in the air just like Dan. Poor Bette and Tina still not knowing the fate of Angelica and then losing each other again. Angelica is a strong girl and with Dan’s help they can make it. If only Bette and Tina can be strong and hold onto their love and not anger. Really, be safe and take care.
