“What about Bette?”
“That’s different. I don’t even know if Bette even wants to talk to me. I left her to take care of something that was my responsibility amongst all the other things that I did to her that were wrong. I don’t think that she’ll forgive so easily.”
“I think you’ll be surprised. She’s been worried about you. The amount of contact that the two of you have had has been less and less but I don’t think that she knew what to do about it.”
“That’s always been our problem. When we should have been talking we were finding a million reasons not to, and they usually revolved around not knowing the right thing to say, or do. Instead we should have just had faith in each that even we didn’t say it just right then the other would still get what we meant to say.
“But you are going to talk to her?”
“Yes, in the next few days I’m going to talk to her, and besides I need to see Angelica so I don’t really have any choice.”
“Just out of interest, what are the chances of the two of you getting back together?” probed Shane, wanting to know how Tina now viewed their relationship.
“There’s part of me that wants to say yes there is nothing that I want more than for that to happen and there’s another part that says I need to spend time alone, getting healthy before I can start to even consider having a relationship with anyone.”
“You’ve done a lot of thinking.”
“I’ve done nothing but think in the last few days.”
“We should walk back to the house. Helena tells me you’ve not been eating properly and by my watch it’s lunch time.”
“Is there nothing sacred?”
“She’s just concerned about you.” smiled Shane as she picked herself up off the sand and then offered her hand to Tina to help her up.
“Thanks.” replied Tina, to the offer of Shane’s hand.
“Helena’s been a good friend to me.” said Tina as they started to walk.
“She’s been a good friend to Bette. It’s amazing really, how they have become friends and Angelica loves her.”
“I’ve missed her. I can’t even tell you how much.”
“Well, now’s your chance to make up for some lost time.”
“Yeah, I intend to do that.”
“Anything you need, I’m right here.”
“Thanks Shane, for coming here today, for everything that you’ve done.”
“It’s my pleasure.” smiled Shane.
They both walked the rest of the way to the house in silence. Tina glad that she had started the process of reconnecting with one of the people that used to be her best friends and Shane happy that there were glimpses of the old Tina still there, they may have been tiny but Shane recognized her old friend.

It’s going to be a long road – but
Sorry – accidentally pressed the wrong tab! I wanted to sound more optimistic (which I am) that with the support of all her old friends, she can pull this round – but Bette and Angelika are the key. Great story.
city…I just love your story…so pleased you have brought Tina home to her family…of course…I live in hopes of a TiBette reunion…PPS…I’m hanging out for an update…
I noticed how Tina didn’t make too much of the fact that Angelica and Bette were doing great, is she now going to be afraid that Bette is a better mother to Angelica than her?
Its great Tina has all this insight but what will she do with it? what will she do to straighten herself out.
it’s good that tina has friends that can help her but she needs to talk to bette for sure, please make them to work things out for the happy ending, please, please…
“the Bette shaped hole in my heart.” A priceless, poignant and very pretty line. Wonderfully sad story, CG. Beautifully done.
Tina is taking baby steps…but at least she is moving. She needs to take one day at a time. She needs to get herself together before she she can think about getting Angelica back. Will Bette give her back is the question. I want them to be a family.
All of us TiBetters are so sappy. We want them back together, no matter what. Tina owning up to her transgressions. How novel! Just like Mads, I am irrationally optimistic about S4 and B & T. PPS.
Tina is coming along and I am glad to see her friends are there for her…I still would like to know how long it’s been since Tina has seen Angelica. Amazing story and looking forward to the next chapter.
LMAO@funnyone! Olive Oyl! That’s exactly what my mom would say about Shane.
This is good and cant wait to see B&T to see each other again!
Its good to see Tina make a start of actually dealing with things. Even talking about being on her own without being disconnected for a while, which probably would be very good thing. But I have to admit having Olive Oyl, I mean Shane, talk about eating properly was rather amusing.
I want that old Tina back too! I have to say that I am still trying to remain upbeat about season 4 – I think my Laurel hug helped get me focused :o)
Tina’s got to get through a day before she can get back to Angie or Bette. I’m surprised she hasn’t got withdrawal symptoms yet. (Not that I’m wishing such horrors on her!) At least Tina’s owning what she did. Great chapter, city girl. It’s stories like yours and the others that are keeping me sane until 7 Jan.
Hope you can bring the old Tina back.
God this story is goooooood!Nice work!
It makes me glad to see that Tina is taking the correct track and that she has friends to help her. I’m hoping for a TiBette union too. Hope you take us there some day! :) Love this story.
Tina taking responsibility, I like it. I have Irationally Optimistic S4 Fever and I’m glad to see it’s catching!
You have some excellent story telling skills on display here citygirl. You do a great job of showing emotion, instead of having the characters tell how they are feeling, and that is a gift many of us wish to emulate. Thank you for taking the time to write, and I do hope you think highly enough of your skills to consider writing for “a living” instead of only for our consumption.
Please write faster. : ) and bring the old Tina back to us. Thank you so much…and luckily haven’t seen the S4 promos.
