Stained – Chapter 13
Chapter 13
Again, Tina’s sleeping pattern had been severely influenced by thoughts of Bette Porter, but this time they were no happy thoughts – although they should have been.
‘I wish I could just put my thoughts on hold, just to get some sleep. Okay, maybe just forever.’ Tina’s head felt so full of thoughts and feelings that it was giving her a massive head ache. The thoughts and feelings were multiplying like rabbits and Tina was sure that it would not be long ’til they wouldn’t fit inside her head anymore. Her mind would boil over and all her feelings of guilt would be unleashed into the world, coloring the skies red and black. It was too late at night or too early in the morning – depending on the way you look at things and the kind of person you are; it’s quite interesting really, like a ‘glass half-full or half-empty’ kind of thing. Yes, we’re getting off-topic again. It was too late at night for Tina to realize she was vastly overcomplicating and over dramatizing things.
At night, the world becomes a different place. Things that seem impossible in daylight suddenly become real at night; monsters in the closet is a good example, but it goes so much further than that. In the darkness of the night and the twilight of the early morning, there is no room for perspective. It can be a lonely time. You appear to be the only person not sleeping and there is no one to moderate the drama in your life for you.
The following morning, Tina would not let the liberating sunrays wash away her super sized guilt and she retreated into her own artificial anti-perspective twilight zone by calling in sick and shutting off her phone. The thought of talking to Eric mortified Tina, but luckily for her things had been crazy for him at work and the big, important, career making or breaking case and the pressure of his bosses had kept him from calling her today and hopefully would continue to do so every day to come.
Tina didn’t want to talk to her friends either because then she would have to talk about what happened and think about what happened, which would make it real. She wasn’t ready to analyze her thoughts and especially her feelings about the matter for fear of the implications about who she was and where she stood in her life.

Awww how sweet was that?! Great update! Come on, Tina. Break up with the ‘safety’ net and let phenomenal,breath-taking, awe-inspiring, I-can’t-eat-I-can’t sleep kinda real love happen to you. It’s called ‘BETTE’!
Loving it, want more
“a celibate, one-legged frog after world domination”…this is what i dream about when i’m happy LOL…this was another great chapter, i’m actually watching Notting Hill right now on TV, are you going to use “I’m just a girl standing in front of a boy” thingy? JK…great update
yeah the optic nerve recomstruction helped and the neural pathways are just beginning to heal! OKAY GET ON WITH IT!! WE wanna see some action here soon girlie. a nice big long hot kiss starring the tongue of Bette Porter!!! youre writing that right now, as we speak, right?? I knew you were !!!
I can never get enough of B/T beginnings…I’d read them all day long, especially if they were this good!!!!! Thankyou!!!!
… a celibate one-legged frog after world domination??? i would love to see that. :) this is moving along beautifully… loving it.. please post soon… and thanks for the S3 overview!!
What is the celibate one legged frog dream? I think I need to borrow it. Not that I have been having day dreams about BP or TK or anything, Oh yeah right I have. Tina needs to break up with Eric like yesterday. This is so cool that Bette has actually put herself out on a limb for her feeling for one Ms. Kennard. Tina has just had her one wish granted. Now, I need to borrow her fairy godmother for a little while.
lol! love reading ur updates.. somehow always have a smile on my face when i read it. did i tell u i love the humor and your little side notes in the story?
Wow. Just a perfect chapter. Great blend of angst, cuteness and humour. So wonderful. Can’t wait for more. I wonder what I’ll be dreaming of tonight? JB and LH, B&T, a celibate, one-legged frog after world domination, or cute and hilarious fanfic writers who make my day?
I should get the whole IKEA thing, but I really don’t. =/ Okay next time Tina wants to leave something behind to retrieve from Bette later, it should be a thong. I think that would make her intentions quite clear even though she’s acting like a chickenshit right now.
Yes, nutters DO have more fun… more than blondes, even… ok, now I’m just getting competitive… anyway, I HEART your mid-story rant. Tina is doomed. Once that Porter charm gets turned on, no one in its path is safe… I’m off to go dream of… what was it? Oh yeah. “a celibate, one-legged frog after world domination”. Seems I might not be the only nutter in the room…
“She had a wonderful dream about… a celibate, one-legged frog after world domination.”O.o… LOL
That notecard was just right: not too overblown with emotion, an opening, an invitation, an honest revelation of nascent feelings. Thanks!
Thank you. Bette wrote the perfect note for the flowers, nows it’s tina’s turn, go get your lady tina!!!
Good chapter. Like the way Bette send Tina the flower and a card. OK let see whats next, thanks!
