The End: The Roommates – Fast Forward to 2019: Chapter 58
Dana held her hands. “Tina needed you, Bette. She was suffering and lonely. Her father has become such a conniving man that he was willing to kill you and anyone else who stood in his way. She was on a dark path. One that wouldn’t end well for her. You saved her, Bette. That’s why you were here.”
Bette frowned. “I saved her?”
“You did. This Tina never had the love and acceptance she had in your old reality. She never had close friends or anyone to love her without conditions. It was crippling and oppressive. She needed you and your love.”
“But what about my Tina? 2005 Tina.”
“She’ll be just fine. After all, she has you. She’s always had you.”
Bette frowned again; her eyebrows knitted. “What do you mean?”
“You split. Like nuclear fission. You split into two identical parts of yourself. There was never an interruption in time and space for that Bette.
“Without the split, 2019 Bette and 2019 Tina would have continued on their own, separate, non-intersecting paths. And Tina’s path would grow very dark; a darkness so vast she’d take her own life.”
Bette looked back at the house.
“Tina would never do that.”
“The Tina that never met you would. The Tina who was never really loved would. Her career would tumble as depression set in. She’d fail in many aspects of her life. And then finally, she’d listen to the dark voices and succumb to suicide.”
Bette shook her head. “So, I came to save her life?”
“And enrich her life.”
“But Sidney?”
Dana answered. “Was always going to die. Without you and the assault, she would never have gotten help. She would have had a fatal overdose two weeks after the opening of Despondent.”
Bette’s head was spinning. “It’s a little hard to take.”
“I know. And don’t ask me how I know this. I have no idea. Like I said, I don’t know how it works. But I do know that you’ve done well. You are right where you are supposed to be.”
Bette folded her arms across her chest. “Am I?”
Dana nodded. “Yes, you are.”

Thank you for the story!
It was so rollercoaster journey, but you did it great in the finale.
I like how you split Bette:) and we have both Tibette in 2005 and 2019. Interesting – is there any possibility that this Tibette from 2019 could met those Tibette from 2005 but 14 years older?) And i also like the explanation why this happened with Bette.
But maybe epilogue, even small? We still don’t know how they will handled with Darth Kennard.
Or maybe we can wait new Tibette story from you?

You have been such an amazing reader and commenter. Thank you. I have an epilogue going now. Check it out when you have a moment.
SassyGran says
Thank you so much for this:-)
Going to be a real selfish pain and ask if there is a possibility, exams etc. permitting, of an Epilogue to show how they make Tina’s Dad pay:-) Please!
Loved it looking forward to more of your talented writing in the future

SG! Thank you as always your comments are loved. And no, you are not a selfish pain. The next book should answer some of the questions you have and give some closure.

Thank you for this story.
You seem to have a very creative mind and I look forward to an epilogue before your exams.
Good luck with those and I look forward to reading your comments on other stories.

Thank you bubcris!! I started the epilogue before the exams and just wanted to see if I could take it any where. The next book should wrap up a few things.

This is a lovely ending. Although most of the loose ends are tied up, there are a few still outstanding. We do not know if Kit will recover and if Dylan will become a permanent part of the household. We don’t know what will happen to Steven and to Tracy….. Of course all of this could be a new book. So while you are busy with school, start thinking about where this story goes from here and think about writing the next volume. We will wait patiently and willingly in order to get another edition. Thank you for all your effort and allowing us to be a part to your creation.
I’m good with this as the ending….If you want to give us an epilogue, I would welcome it. But you do what you feel you want to do. I love your Bette and your Tina. I think you have shown great changes in their character and their view of the world. They are certainly better together than they are apart. You’re a great writer…..come back when you can….Thank you for all you have given us….

Martha…Thank YOU!!! You are a writer. You know how encouraging it is to hear back from readers. It’s so helpful to know that someone out there in cyberspace is actually reading what you wrote. Thank you so much for your comments and support along the way. There’s one more epilogue on this story to come. Thanks for everything!

BnTinmyhead says
Wow ok I feel like whiplash that was a sudden halt… you know you didnt have to end it yet we would have waited for you to finish up your exams.. we would still be here right where you left us.. you can still come back with an epilogue later because there is a lot of loose ends up in the air. You know us bitches we hate not having closer.. lol.. and at least one more round of play time for all they have been through.. lol.. but thank you for your story and best of luck with your studies but if you’re as good as you are at story telling you will do just fine… no worries..

I have closed a few open gaps in a follow on epilogue. Chapter one is on the site now. Just know, I wrote it with one of your previous requests in mind. :)
BnTinmyhead says
Yes I see.. lol..

Thanks for sharing this beautiful story, MTS. What a ride!
I love that you brought Dana back. I just miss her too. Interesting explantion for Bette time-dimension-traveling. Tina’s soul was crying out for its mate as it was dying because of too much sadness, lonelyness and without being nourished by its soulmate. The same goes for Bette’s soul of this dimension. It was crying out for its soul-twin because her life was about to end as well. I’d guess that “the other Bette” would have continued to use, maybe even more after Sidney died of an overdose. So Bette’s younger soul answered the cry for help.
Or something like that ;-)
It’s been an amazing idea to finish your other installation of the story this way. With the characters being grown up and being already shaped by life, you gave the story more depth with some rough edges – compared to college Bette and Tina.
You had me on the edge of my seat throughout the story. Thank you for reuniting Tina and Bette once again. It was balm for my Tibette soul.
I join in the other comments and hope for an epilogue after you finished your exams, recuperated as well. Maybe you’ll find the inspiration for some “a few months later” pages. A trial and a conviction, Kit’s recovery, Alice happy with Tasha and Bette and Tina moving in together.
Good luck for the exams, stay safe
cheers

Thank you Kiwi!!! I have loved all your comments. I am happy to be back writing again. I have posted chapter one of a follow-on to this story on the site. Thanks for always reading and commenting!!

MTS, I just saw that my reply of a few days ago either never made it or has disappeared. I’m so sorry. It was brilliant, insightful and roll on the floor funny, If only I could remember it! As I have said before, I am so impressed that reconceived your original story so impressively. I am so happy that you left the original B&T to live their happy lives in the original timeline and brought happiness to them in the current day. Your Steven Kennard was so evil and scary! Since he came from your mind, I am going to be very careful to never get you mad at me. And, when I got to the bottom of page 2 and Dana asked Bette if she wanted the reveal, I actually said “yes” at loud and bounced in my seat, startling the cat and sending the laptop towards the floor. Honest. Really. Good luck with your exams. Since you can write brilliant stuff like this, plain old exams will be a breeze. Sending good thoughts. Spu
MoreThanSatisfied says
Spu!! From our old world to this new world! Thanks for all the well wishes. And yes, Papa K was an asshole. People can change and their dark sides emerge. I promise to only use my dark forces for plots in fiction writing! :)
Ps…I hope your laptop is okay. :)

OneStorm!! Thank you so much. I’m glad you came along on the ride. It was a fun one for me.

So the epilogue is in progress and there is a continuation of the Roommates series? You are a gifted, visual writer and thoroughly love for pieces. Anxiously waiting.
