    Author Notes:

    Bette talks, will Tina listen?

    “Can you at least let me know that you can hear me?” Bette asked.

    “I can hear you,” Tina said.

    “You’ll probably think is stupid,” Bette started.  She shrugged, even though Tina couldn’t see her.  She started picking through the items in the box.  “But I’ve kind of been hoarding things. It might not make any sense to you,” she said, studying a small piece of paper.

    “This is a receipt, from the first time we went shopping,” Bette said, sliding it underneath the door.  She waited until she heard Tina getting up from the bed to grab it off the floor.  “Remember, you got all those good apples.  I hadn’t eaten apples since I was a kid.  And that wreath, we bought out first wreath.”

    Tina had sat down as well, her back against the door just like Bette’s, on the other side.  She studied the receipt, remembering as Bette spoke. 

    “This,” Bette said, sliding it under the door, “is a piece bubble wrap.  From the day you moved in.”  The bubble wrap was thick under the doorframe, and Tina had to pull it out on her end.  She spun the piece around in her fingers, popping a bubble or two.

    “You had your jewelry box wrapped in that piece.  I said I thought it was beautiful, and you told me it used to be your moms.  And you handled it so delicately, and I could see that it was special, and I wanted to keep a part of that with me.” 

    On the other side of the door, Tina’s eyes had begun to well again.  It had become par for the course.  A photograph of Tina slide under the door next.

    “Remember when I bought that new camera, and we were playing around with it?  Just taking pictures of each other and stuff.  You asked me to delete all the pictures of you because you thought you looked ugly.  But you looked beautiful, so I said I got rid of them but I developed them instead.  And don’t even bother ripping that picture up because I have copies,” Bette said.

    Tina let a chuckle out at how well Bette knew her, before she could stop herself.  Bette heard this little laugh and it was music to her ears. 

    “There’s more,” Bette said, looking down into the box.  “I just… This is all new for me, you know?  I’ve become the type of person who saves receipts for their sentimental value.  I’ve never done that before.”

    There was a reflective silence.  Finally, Tina spoke.

    “Why, Bette?”

    “Because I’m falling in love with you, Tina.” 

    Bette turned over onto her knees and placed her forehead and palms flat against the door.

    “I’m a fucking idiot, I know that,” Bette said.  “I saw you with Brenda and I just lost it.  I couldn’t stand the thought of you with anyone else.  And if you want to be with her or anyone else, I promise to learn to accept it if it means I can at least have you as a friend.  I’m so sorry for the things I said.  I never wanted to hurt you.”

    “You told me that I should have never come here,” Tina reminded her.

    “I lied.  I can’t even begin to imagine my life without you.  When I said that you’ve only made things harder for me… Well, I meant it, just not in the way you think.  I’ve had feelings for since the minute I saw you.  But I knew that saying so would only put you in an awkward position.  If you didn’t feel the same way, things would be weird for us.  I just wanted you to be comfortable in your new home.  I know it’s selfish but I wanted to keep you near me.  I would have rather lived with you as a friend than risk telling you how I feel and have you move out.  And my life has been harder.  But it’s been harder because every day I have to think of new ways to not hold you, or kiss you, or touch you.  And I have to pretend to you and everyone else that I’m fine, but I’m not fine.  And I have to listen to the girls talk about hooking you up and stay silent, even though it’s killing me.  It’s just hard, being one bedroom away from you but feeling like it’s miles.”

    1. Bette’s confession was rather sweet, but sad. At least the truth is out, or one side of it, anyway, so that’s one hurdle jumped. The ball’s in Tina’s court now. What will she say or do? Lovely story, atlas. Thanks for the post. :)

    21. Sniff! I’m really glad Bette found her lost words :-) A little honesty goes a long way in this situation, helps Tina understand why Bette said and did those things. I think you accidentally misplaced the rest of this chappy tho :-) Thanks atlas!
