The Fast and Fevered Fall – Chapter Thirteen
“Is it really that bad?” asked Bette, resignedly.
“Yeah, I think it’s really that bad.”
“What time are you expecting her back?”
“She didn’t say, but I’m not expecting it to be early.”
“And you’re OK with her just leaving you?”
“Bette we’ve been practically joined at the hip for the last two days. We needed to spend some time apart otherwise we were going to drive each other crazy.”
“Will you wait up for her?”
“Probably, just to make sure that she makes it home in one piece.”
“Will you try and talk to her again, into coming back to LA?”
“I will, but tell me something. What do you see happening after that?”
“I’m not sure.” admitted Bette.
“Don’t you think that’s something that you should think about. I mean, if I can get Tina back to LA she’s going to want to see Angelica, which means that she’s going to be seeing you, and I know you Bette, you won’t be able to resist being her knight in shining armour.”
“You think I’m still under her spell.”
“No, I think that you’re both under each other’s spell. Why do you think that she’s so resistant to being in the same town as you?”
“I try to tell myself that I won’t let it happen again, that the next time that I see her I won’t wish for her to come back home.”
“I’m sure she tells herself that everyday. That being with you isn’t all that she hoped for.”
“Angelica misses you.” said Bette, trying to move onto something happier.
“You can tell her that I miss her too, and that I’m on a mission to reunite her mothers.” laughed Helena.
“I don’t think that I should tell her that, I don’t want to give her false hope about anything that concerns Tina.”
“How often does Angelica ask about Tina?”
“Why is it that every time I try to move the conversation on to something a little less depressing you find something that actually makes me even sadder.”
“Sorry.”
“But as you asked, everyday. There’s a photograph of the three of us together on the wall. I see her looking at it every night, just before she goes to bed. That’s when I know that the question is coming.”

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.
