The Fast and Fevered Fall – Chapter Thirteen
“I can’t believe you let her go out by herself.”
“Bette, she’s a grown woman, she can do what ever she wants.” replied Helena, trying to remain the voice of reason.
“Helena, I am only too aware that Tina not only can do what she wants, but usually does do what she wants.”
“So what are we going to do about it?”
“Don’t you mean what are you going to do about it. You only said, not two minutes ago, that she refuses to even consider coming back to LA.”
“I could always drug her, chuck her on a plane and before she wakes up we’ll already be back in LA.” suggested Helena, brightly.
“I think we need a more practical solution to the problem than that.” replied Bette, refusing to be drawn into Helena’s joke.
“I knew I should have made you come up here. It would have been so much easier. All you would have had to have done was to look at her with those sad eyes of yours and she would have been putty in you hands.”
“It’s been a long time since Tina Kennard’s been putty in my hands.”
“That doesn’t mean to say that she couldn’t be again.”
“I think the ship has sailed on that one.”
“Are you sure? It sounds to me like you still want to save her.”
The LA end of the line went silent after that. Bette had always known that Helena was quietly perceptive. She only had to remember how she had figured out that Tina was pregnant before she even knew herself, and Bette had to grudgingly admit, that Helena had a sixth sense for knowing what Tina needed. She found it incredibly frustrating but she was still glad that Tina and Helena’s friendship had endured.
“Where did you say she was?” asked Bette, wanting to change the subject away from her relationship with Tina.
“I don’t know. She said that she had to go and see someone and left before I could question her anymore.”
“You don’t think that she’s….” started Bette, not wanting to follow through on what she was thinking.
“Whatever you’re thinking Bette, I’m almost certain it has to do with having a drink, somewhere. Where, of course, I don’t know.”

Yes, there is a very bumpy road ahead for tina, for everyone associated really. But it has to be Tina’s choice, no one but her, she’s the only one that can make that choice. And hopefully for the right reasons, and Angelica is as right as anything else. This Tina is a total mess, I hope that this is her rock bottom…somewhat like ms Jo’s, you two are on the same wave length…great writers, great stories, great storytelling!!!! Tks CG
It seems like Tina’s about to start climbing towards another direction. As always so well witten.
Why can’t I find other words for my comments? I just keep repeating myself. Oh well. It’s so hard to see Bette and Tina apart and under these circumstances and still, apparently, caring for each other deeply. I hope Tina can pull herself together, with Helena’s help because she’s not going to be able to do it all on her own, and find her way back to her family. Angelica needs her, and I also have this feeling that Bette wouldn’t mind having her around either… How do you always manage to break my heart with ALL of your stories?!
“I could always drug her, chuck her on a plane and before she wakes up we’ll already be back in LA.” suggested Helena, brightly – That sounds like a reference to “Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood” lol
That was a hug Tina needed. Now she’s got to pull herself together so she cna hug her daughter. Here’s hoping Helena’s mission is a success.
Tina definitely needs to get her ass back to LA and get some help.
I’ve always liked Helena, even in the show during S2 but you and tiff make me like her even more. And lol at there’s always the swimming pool…
ha there is always the swimming pool!! nice well shes a mess and so tru she needs B and A to help her thru it!! thanks CG
Do you think it would speed Tina’s decision to go back to LA if she were to know that Bette would meet her at the airport with her Levi’s on?? I think it would… next plane out!
I hope that you get Tina better. Mostly for herself and then Angelica and Bette. Thanks for the story.
I would like to know, how old is Angelica? Tina needs some help and I think Bette will be the one to get her out of this druken mess. Looking forward to the next chapter.
Great chapter – It’s a wonderful twist to have Bette and Helena working together to get Tina back on track. Can’t wait to hear more specifically what derailed her to begin with.
i’m glad helena is there for tina but her move to LA is a must, i think only angelica and bette can help her out of the mess she got herself into, because bette was there from the beginning
Damn this is sad for Tina and glad Helena there to help her, and hope Tina will decide to come back to LA with Helena and will get help. Ok post soon please, thanks!
Tina is a sad woman. Despite my dislike I hope she gets help. It’s not good for her or Angelica for her to be like this.
Tina better pull herself together before somebody has to scrape her off the pavement.
I love this….but I’m about ready for T to go back to LA, into rehab and her wife’s arms…and take care of her baby…enuff grief, she loves Bette…and Bette loves her…u know that!!!! we all do except IC and cronies…lol
Great writing Citygirl! Tina definitely needs to go back to LA.
I’m a bit confused about the timeline and also with Helena questioning of Tina’s choice of bed mate? Is she emotionally attracted to man while physically needs a woman? I’m perplexed and Tina’s one messed up woman. Can’t wait for the back story that lead up to this. Thanks.
