“I will wait for your call.”
“Goodbye Candace.”
With that Bette hung up the phone and made the few steps down the hall to the restroom. Once in the stall she sat on the closed toilet, placed her head in her hands and sobbed. Wracked with guilt and regret, she cried. Truth being, she didn’t Candace know very well. They had had a few brief sexual encounters that amounted to only an outlet for Bette. She never felt love for Candace. She only ever truly loved one woman, and she was lying in a hospital bed a few doors down. Bette truly never wanted to see Candace again, she wanted this whole part of her life to be a dream, to fade away never to be spoken of again. If only she could convince Candace of that also.
Hearing the bathroom door open, Bette quickly pulled herself together and exited the stall. She splashed some water on her face and noted in the mirror that she looked like *****. All the crying and emotion was really taking it’s toll.
There was one more phone call to make, however, before she could rest.
Peering around the door frame to be sure that Tina was still resting, Bette dialed the number.
“Porter! It’s about time you call me back. Where the ***** have you been?”
“Thank God for caller ID, huh, Alice? Now you can start cussing me before I even get a chance to say ‘Hello’”
“What is going on? Where is Tina?”
“Alice? Tina was in an accident last night.”
Hearing Alice draw in a quick breath and knowing a rapid fire of questions would follow, Bette continued, “She is FINE, well she will be FINE, right now she is on some pain medication that is making her sleepy. She had some head trauma and can’t remember the last week or so, but the doctor said she was very lucky and will make a full recovery.”
“Wow, she has amnesia? I thought that only happened on soap operas. No other injuries? Which hospital is she in? I’m on my way.”
“We are at Fairfield, but.. actually, I was hoping that you would call Shane and Dana for me. I’m not feeling up to it. Tina is in the ICU for now, but will be moved in a few hours to a room where she can have more visitors. She’s really tired.and no, besides the head trauma and a few bumps and bruises she is just fine. The doctor said we were very lucky.”
“Bette?”
“What WAS Tina doing out driving and calling ME at 3 am?”
The panic rose in Bette’s throat. Her heart started to pump wildly. Kicking herself for not having a prepared answer, Bette went with the truth. Almost. “We, uh..we.” Damn! Why couldn’t she have been born a natural liar? “Well..we had a fight Alice.”
“A fight? It must have been one ***** of a serious fight for Tina to call at 3 in the morning. I’ve never known her to walk out during an argument. What were you fighting about?”
“Listen, Alice. I feel bad enough as it is and now isn’t the time to talk about this. I need to get back in the room. I want to be there when Tina wakes up.”
“Ok, but I want the whole story later.”
“I’m sure you do.”
“Give Tina my best. I’ll call the girls and we’ll see you soon!”
“Ok, thanks Alice.”
After hanging up the phone Bette realized she couldn’t help herself. She wanted her relationship back. The scare of losing it all the night before made her realize what she really had. Telling Tina would only cause pain. Nothing good could come from it. She didn’t want to see Tina hurting again, she didn’t want to feel the disappointment. Of course, there were also selfish motives. The fact that somehow Tina may discover the truth was a risk she was willing to take, for a few more weeks, days or even hours being loved by Ms. Tina Kennard.
Bette made a resolution to herself in that moment. A resolution to never take Tina for granted again. To treat everyday like a gift, a second chance at getting it right.

lie is not the best opition if Tina remember on her own it will be worse..i know now is not the best time but as soon as they talk soon they will recover the trust..great chappy go on!!!
someone is gonna get slapped up side the head for this lie. this is an interesting idea. thanks.
i CAN’T CALL THIS A LIE. SHE TOLD aLICE THAT THEY HAD A BAD FIGHT. tRUE, JUST DIDN;T TELL WHY. I dislike people that needs to know every detail of my like good or bad. Sex or fighting. Most of the time if you dont tell Alice she go crazy trying to find out.. thanks
well damn freakin A man this is gonna blow up big i can c all the many possibilities!! continue soon luv it
That’s as good as a New Year’s Resolution, you know, came in too late and is probably not going to last past January =P (or at least the next big Art show…)
Bette should really be careful with those ~.^
Besides, it’s funny how it takes Tina almost dying for her to come up with that resolution. Isn’t that the kind of thing you decide BEFORE the commitment rings and stuff?
Yes!!! Hide the lie! Yes it will blow up eventually, but Tina will get some good lovin. Glad you decided to give Bette firm resolve about tellin Tina rather than flip-flopping around the place
oh shit..this is going to get ugly at some point. Thanks for the chapter and post soon
Love the story thanks! This situation will turn bad!!! Post soon!
ok so what if tina does remember but she wants to forget it so she is using this to cover it up for herself???
Is she just waiting to get out of the hospital to whoop some ass?? cause there could be lots of twist from this story. And last maybe tina is giving bette this chance to tell her but she blows it??
Wow..this is going to be an interesting ride. I knew Bette was not going to tell her atleast not for now. I don’t think candy is going away soon…somehting tells me she is going to be a “Glenn close” without the boiling rabbit and trying to kill the wife. Nothing like a woman scorned..watch out Porter!!! Please continue this story!!1
I am new to this story and it is awsome, I love the twist. Can’t wait to see where you take it. Post soon.
I just came across this story. What happened next? Will this continue? Please post.
I had a feeling this was the path that Porter was going to take. Well, for now, she has no worries because its clear that Alice doesnt know anyhting; but I am not counting out Candace being the one to tell Tina.
Great update Traci
hmm…rough times.
great update. love this new B&T story. this is good for now but Bette should be the one to tell Tina, so she shouldnt wait too long.
Damn Porter you are in for a ride when Tina finds out about this…tell her the truth before it´s to late…very nide update Traci…do post again soon
Oh this is sad and well someday Bette herself will tell Tina the truth and not someone else. Ok this is get some drama coming and can’t wait to see what’s next. Post soon, thanks!
