Alice had been staying with Bette and Angie since Tina had left. She had moved into the spare room and was managing some work between holding Bette together. Bette hadn’t slept in two days to Alice’s knowledge and she had barely eaten anything – so Alice was really looking forward to reinforcements arriving – and they were due any time.
It was nearly 7pm when Alice got a text that made her smile – reinforcements had landed. She looked around the living room – Bette was slowly opening up – talking more about how she felt and what she needed to do to survive for the sake of Angie. Angie spent half of her time with Bette and Alice but a lot of time alone to process her own feelings – Alice was glad she wasn’t going to be counselling both of them at the same time.
The hire car pulled up outside the house and inside Shane and Helena exchanged glances.
“How do you think this is going to go?” Helena asked
“Badly – Bette is going to be like you have never seen her before – she is going to be the lowest of lows “
“I hope we can be of some comfort to her “
“Well we were no damn use talking sense into Tina were we “ Shane said showing her anger “ I have known Tina and Bette longer than anyone else in my life and yesterday I got off the phone to Tina and I just was so sad that I don’t know her at the moment “
“I cannot imagine how she is feeling – she has just ended a 20 year relationship for some woman she has been sleeping with for three months – that is one high risk “
“She probably thinks that she can just go back to Bette – like last time “
“That took long enough “Helena commented opening the driver’s door and getting out. Shane climbed out of the passenger side and faced Helena removing her sunglasses
“We are doing all we can – she just needs to know that she is not alone right now “
“She has Angie “Helena laughed “Oh I wish I could have seen Tina’s face when Angie laid into her “
“Kids take after all the adults they spend time with “
“That is what is worrying – my kids could have done with being brought up here with you and Alice and Bette and Tina as role models – they are utter basket cases now – all down to Whinny Winnie “

Yeah, yeah. lets all blame Tina. When Bette cheated – lets understand and forgive, and even find some excuse for her, like someone tried after s1 TLW – how she was miserable and not got any attention from Tina (hmm, forget that Tina just have miscarriage, yeah). And mostly they forgot how Bette sometime treat with Tina like a servant, how she dismissed her in front of her father, how even before miscarriage she asked herself – if she fallen out love with Tina.
Yeah, Bette we all can forgive.
But when Tina left her in s3 – she’s traitor, not excuse. Lets even in fanfic paired Bette with someone else, they all better for her, that this traitor.
Hi allyemmerson,
Good to see you back!
My heart broke to ???????????? when i read in previews that Tina left Bette and broke again reading this short story. I don’t know if this was a one time story, but i must admit that i will only read Tibette stories with a happy Tibette ending.
Happy Boxing Day!
You always were brave in your writing, and you continue to be by writing from a point of view you knew wouldn’t be popular. And, you did such a great job! Thanks Ally…and it’s so great to have you writing L Word fanfic again! :-)
Now, since we did challenge each other, I guess it’s my turn. Yikes! :-)
Hola Ally que bueno que estés de vuelta pero quiero historias de tibette juntas y con finales
felices esta historia me dejo muy triste
This is a well written story…..I am one who believes that breakups are seldom sudden and seldom because someone fell in love with someone else instantaneously and then decided to to leave. It may seem that way to begin with in the first few days or weeks. But when a real examination of the history of the couple is taken, there will always be signs of discord or inattentiveness or the avoidance of the other in the couple. How can Tina say that she was miserable with Bette and not show some signs of being miserable? Happiness which is not real can only be faked but for a short period of time. Then most people do the run, hide and avoidance mode or the argue and antagonism modes. And most of these signs are apparent long before an affair takes place.
When Bette says we were talking and giving each other time. My question would be what was the depth of your conversations? Did both of you really hear and understand the feelings and emotions which were the support structure of the relationships. If every conversation was about how terrible work is and horrible some person was treating you at work, that may be talking, but its not communicating.
Another author of this stories said once that in a relationship it’s always harder to be present, to commit and to stand and fight for a relationship. Running and seeking alternatives is always an easier solution. And to sustain any relationship, it takes both parties to want the relationship and to work at it or it is doomed to failure. In this story, if Tina has decided that she no longer wants the relationship with Bette then there is no chance for reconciliation. The only reason they were able to come back together in the past was because they both wanted their relationship and they were willing to make changes in their behaviors to make that happen. But if Tina has decided that the relationship with Bette cost more than the benefits she receives or she’s tired of making an effort or she simply would rather have someone else, then there is no hope. That is why the divorce rate is 50% in the US and higher than that in the United Kingdom. It’s easier to give up than to stay and fight.
We really know little about what has happened here with Tina and Bette. We know little of what really has been going on for the previous months and years in their relationship. I do not think we have near enough information to affix blame one way or another. Yes, having an affair is detrimental to a relationship, but usually it reflects a failure on both parties to deal with each other as to the other problems going on in the relationship in an honest and forthright manner as problems, hurts and fears arise.
So great to read another story from you. This was definitely a sad one. I hope to see more stories from you in the future. Still have my fingers crossed you will finish the L wing.
Great to see that you are back, Ally! But I have to admit that I didn’t read your comeback story. I simply can’t bare to read any story with either Tina or Bette cheating on the other (or falling out of love) without a chance of reconsiliation.
I sure though that I’m not the only one who would be excited if you’d pick up writing Tibette stories again. Well, stories without the cheating or final separation part ;-)
Hi Ally,
Great to read a story by you again despite the reasons.
Not happy that Tibette split in the new Show and will remain reading their stories on this Site.
Happy New Year, off to read Seahurst.
BTW would always like to read an L Wing continuance:-)
