"I think you just gotta do what’s right for you"
Tina’s head was pointed down, her eyes focused on a small rock on the ground while she nodded slightly. Her father’s words coursed through her entire body and meant more to her than he would ever know. It was probably due to the fact that her mother had always been very judgmental or maybe even because Tina never really had a serious conversation with her father before. Either way, she was glad to have his support now. She never imagined he would have felt this way.
Tina’s lower lip began to tremble regardless of the fact that she had it pressed tightly together against her upper lip in an effort to hold her composure. She didn’t want to cry, didn’t even imagine that she would while visiting her father but it was as if he saw right through her. He had always been a quiet and very kept man but now he was more understanding than Tina could ever have hoped for. He was nothing like her mother and Tina was incredibly glad for that.
"You’ll always be my little girl and no matter who you’re with, I just want you to be happy"
It seemed impossible to hold back any tears after hearing such sweet words from her father. Tina felt the warm drops slide down her cheeks as she slowly lifted her head to look into the one man in her life she could never live without. He smiled down at her with such warmth and so much love, Tina found herself smiling back.
"Thank you, daddy . . . really, it means the world to me"
Her father’s smile widened as he pulled his baby girl in for a big hug, wrapping his arms around her protectively and kissed the top of her head. Tina wrapped her arms around him and fully sunk into his embrace, inhaling the spicy scent of his aftershave and the faint smell of gunpowder. She pulled back to look lovingly into his eyes, smiling at his costume. He was dressed in a blue uniform that had shiny gold buttons along the side. His hat matched perfectly and he had an artificial rifle strapped to his side. There was some gunpowder residue from the blank bullets that were shot during the memorial performance on his uniform but it just made the look that much more believable. He looked as amazing as always, Tina could have never been more proud.

Should’ve driven to that secluded area and proceeded with Plan A Bette. The secret for some good drama is bad decision making. Great story telling Liah, loving it 😍 thank you 😘
Wow! That was some chapter! My heart is still beating furiously in my chest. Humans sure know how to complicate life and love. Just goes to show you that you have to love your self first before you can love another. Ugh! Bette…
My heart feels like it’s being squeezed.
Loving this story. Looking forward to your next post.
Can’t say you didn’t warn us. Tina, dear, remember that Bette has been drowning her sorrows and might not have a grip on her words and thoughts right now? Good update, but dang, that’s two in a row that make the happy ending look a little remote. Next?
(OK, really, what’s with the backslashes?!?! What does this comment thingy have against the use of contractions?!)
Damn Katherine and her interfering, which still never seems to end. A lot of this heartache seems to stem from both Tina and Bette’s inability to tell each other what they’re feeling. Bette at least admitted that she’s still in love with her apparently soon-to-be ex-wife… Tina couldn’t even let Bette know she’s not her “backup” choice. Oh well. Maybe Tina will find her missing backbone when she gets back to New York. Thanks for posting. :)
Hi! This is now my third comment… and all I’m gonna say, is that I borrowed the movie S.H.A. from a friend at work, and um… watched (endured) it. And… all I can say, is that you’ve taken a movie that was… not so great (dreadful… REALLY dreadful) and made a really cohesive, engaging story out of it. I vastly, VASTLY prefer your version. Even if Tina is currently annoying me. ;P Seriously, keep up the good work. I look for this every day and I’ll be sorry to see it end. Cheers! :D
Ur breakn my heart here. Plz fix it. Love ur story. Pps
Just caught up with this. Have to say sweet home.alabama is also one of my favourite films and am loving your twist on it… Thanks for the update
OK, I’m back for a third comment, too – although my second doesn’t really count, since it was a gripe about technical issues :-). To be honest, I had to kind of skim the story the first time, so now I can add: CRIKEY, Tina, get a grip. Minutes ago you were calling her your ex-wife, and now you’re stunned that she is (reluctantly) asking you to leave? Sheesh. I’d say Bette deserves better, but of course I want a happy Tibette ending. So I will just trust that Tina has some self-revelations coming. ;-) (You know you’re writing an engaging story when we’re all hollerin’ at the characters like this.)
Great update although a bit sad. I agree totally with jp22 on both her comments. However, I think Bette should have told Tina what she was feeling and why and Tina should have told Bette that she was not second choice and she should have told helena at the park that she was not going to marry her and gave the ring back. Tina never should have mentioned the ex-factor in front of Bette, that was just the wrong move entirely. Can hardly wait to see how you fix this can of worms. And katherine needs to keep her damned mouth shut it is not her life. Thanks for posting.
Argh!! 2 mules!! Two beautiful stubborn mules!!! Great update Liah! Powerful chapter to portray their states, and boy! I can only say that they are simply 2 mules!! If only they are more open and communicate openly. Argh!! :-( so frustated! … So when is the next one!? :-D PPVS??? :-)
That was such a sad update and so heart breaking. You’ll make it better i know. Thank you for this story.
Ok upset at the outcome of that chapter I hope the next one will be more pleasant. Because I can’t take much heartbreak and neither can Bette or Tina. I am confused at the fact Helena still wants to marry Tina. Seems so far fetched to her earlier behaviour.
Please fix this,sooo sad.Thank you for the update,great story.
I just re-read the chapter, and the way Tina has acted is just so frustrating! Bette might have been a bit stoic, but how many times is Tina going to hurt her without explaining her actions? Tina’s pretty damned selfish. Bette’s been trying to conquer the world to get Tina back? Bette deserves a lot better than what Tina’s given her so far. This will be another time Tina has left without a second glance back. I hope the happy ending is something Tina really earns, because she has an absolute *shitload* of making up to do. Argh! Right, rant over. :P …Um, pps! Lol
Looking foreward to how you going to clean up this mess. I really needed some minutes before I could type this comment.
Oh come on! You’re killing me here!!! Ahhh PPS! Lol
