Soul Mates – Chapter 7
Helena glanced down at Tina’s hand that was desperately grasping hers. At one time, Helena would have welcomed the feeling of Tina’s touch but now all she wanted to do was get away from it. She had always felt such purity from Tina, her darling girlfriend who was sweeter than candy. As Helena brought her eyes back up and looked into Tina’s, she couldn’t see that person anymore and it broke her heart.
"I’m sorry . . but I don’t believe you"
Tina didn’t say anything, she didn’t move either. Instead she just watched as Helena began to walk backwards, slipping out of her grasp and turning around to walk away. Tina let her go, finding no desire to chase after the brunette this time. She hated to look so dark in the brunette’s eyes, she didn’t want things to unfold the way they did but there was no turning back from it now. What’s done, was done.
*****
Tina drove to Bette’s house, heavily doubting the brunette would want to see her but Tina couldn’t leave things as they were. She knew that she made a mess of things but she had faith it would all work out.
She pulled up behind Bette’s car and got out, her heart beating rapidly. She took a deep breath and climbed up the stairs, offering a soft smile to James who was laying on the porch. The main door to Bette’s house was open so Tina had a clear view of the inside through the screen door blocking her way. She saw the fuzzy figure of Bette’s body sitting on the couch, leaning forward and pouring herself shot after shot of what looked like brandy.
Tina immediately opened the screen door and stepped inside, taking a seat beside Bette who had just downed another shot. Bette didn’t bother to look beside her, pouring another shot instead as she felt Tina’s soft hands on her cheeks. All her movements stopped, she held the bottle slightly above the table as she waited for Tina to do or say something. She was too afraid of what she would see in Tina’s eyes so she kept her head facing forward, her gaze straight ahead. For the life of her, Bette didn’t know why Tina was sitting beside her. She figured that the blonde would have been with Helena, making amends and planning their wedding.

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
