The Fast and Fevered Fall – Chapter Thirteen
“Where the hell have you been?” asked Helena, pulling Tina inside.
“I went out, you knew that I was going out.” replied Tina, surprised by Helena’s sharp tone.
“I was worried about you. I had no idea where you were, or what time you were going to be back.”
“I didn’t mean for you to wait up for me.” shrugged Tina, walking into the kitchen.
“No, you didn’t mean for a lot of things to happen.”
Helena followed Tina into the kitchen. She said nothing as she waited for Tina to finish pouring herself a glass of water. She watched at Tina rummaged around for something to snack on in the cupboard. She couldn’t figure out whether Tina was purposely ignoring her or completely unaware of her presence.
“You know the best cure for a hangover is to drink plenty of water before you go to sleep.” said Tina, still not looking at Helena.
“I thought that you had forgotten that I was even here.” replied Helena, evenly.
“No, I was waiting for you to say something, and when you didn’t I thought that I had better break the silence. Otherwise we could be here all night.
“You’re presuming that I want to talk to you at all.”
“Helena, you waited up for me to come home, it’s the early hours of the morning. If you didn’t think that it was important then you would have gone to bed.”
“I spoke to Bette.”
“Don’t use the old ‘I spoke to Bette’ trick on me. It won’t work.” said Tina, more bitterly than she actually meant it.
“Why not? She’s the only one who you are going to listen to about all of this.” said Helena, her voice rising slightly.
“About all of what?”
“This Tina, the fact that you live in squalor, you miss work, you go out to bars, you’re a drunk, you gave up your daughter….”
“You forgot to mention that I’ve started bringing women home.” snarled Tina, ready for a full blown argument.
“You done what?” asked Helena, genuinely shocked.
“Yeah, that’s where a was tonight. Seeing the woman who slept in my bed a few nights ago. You should meet her, I think you would like her, and Helena, don’t mention my daughter, she had nothing to do with you.”

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.
