Soul Mates – Chapter 7
Tina felt the guilt eating away at her once again. She had called her home and town a shit hole not too long before she left for New York but it was purely out of anger and pain. She didn’t mean what she said, had even cried about it a few times. Was she prepared to leave everything in New York to restart her life with Bette? In truth, no she wasn’t but that didn’t mean she wanted it any less. It would be hard, it would be a challenge but she and Bette would be together. Tina wanted-
"Time’s up. I’ll take that as a no" Bette had taken Tina’s hesitance as a rejection and it was nearly impossible to hide the hurt she felt.
Tina blinked as Bette pulled from her grasp and began to walk away again. Tina immediately ran after her and grabbed the same arm.
"No, wait Bette! I want to stay here with you, I do. I want to-"
"Well that’s too bad because I don’t"
Tina stopped dead in her tracks as Bette’s arm easily slipped from her grasp. She was shocked to the core at Bette’s words, she couldn’t believe what she just heard. Bette couldn’t have met what she said.
Bette stopped walking when it registered what she had said to Tina. She loved the blonde more than her own life and the last thing she wanted was to hurt the beautiful woman she had once been married to. Even still, Bette felt that what she was now doing needed to be done. If Tina wasn’t sure about what she wanted, then Bette wouldn’t put anymore pressure on her.
She slowly turned around to try and reword what she had just said when she saw the blonde lunging at her. It was much too quick to act against so Bette just stood there, she firmly held her ground to keep from staggering backwards when Tina grabbed the back of her neck and slammed their lips together. It was a desperate attempt on Tina’s part to get Bette to change her mind, the brunette knew it but she couldn’t stop herself from returning the kiss. It was her own way of saying goodbye to the one woman she would ever love.

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
