    Author Notes:

    Whiskey, and make it a double.

    “I’m fine. I just needed to hear a friendly voice.”

    “I know I keep saying this but anytime you want to come back to LA you can stay here. Angelica and I would love to have you.”

    “That’s a great offer but I have things to do here, maybe in a few months. Now I really think that it’s time you went to bed.”

    “OK, I’ll call you later in the week to make sure that you’re surviving.”

    “Yeah, surviving, that’s about as good as it gets. We’ll talk soon Bette.”

    Tina hung up the phone before Bette had a chance to respond to her last statement. For a phone call that she thought was going to cheer her up she felt worse than ever. Tina didn’t understand how Bette could be so generous. The pain that Tina had caused her had seemed to be replaced by this calmness and warmth that Tina could only wish to have for herself.

    Tina emptied her glass and looked up to signal to the bartender that she was ready for another. She hoped that she wouldn’t have to talk this time, that the transaction would be cut as short as possible.

    “Another drink?”

    “Yes, please.” replied Tina, still hoping that this would be all that she had to say.

    “That seemed like as intense phone call, by the look on your face.” said the bartender as she replaced Tina’s empty glass with a full one.

    “Thanks for the drink.” replied Tina, refusing to be drawn in.

    “No problem.” smiled the bartender, knowing when she wasn’t wanted.

    Tina’s eyes followed the bartender, knowing that she had been unnecessarily rude to her. She couldn’t help it, this wasn’t where she was supposed to be. She had never planned for this, the lonely nights drinking in her apartment and now out in this bar where she had hoped to meet someone that she could talk to, when all she did was talk to the one woman who she had spent the last eight years running away from, in so many ways.

    Tina emptied her glass in one hit and pushed herself off of the barstool. She put the money that she owed on the bar and started to walk out of the bar only for her arm to be touched by someone behind her.

    “I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable.”

    “You didn’t.” replied Tina, surprised by the bartender’s concern for her.

    “You should come back, and I promise that I won’t pry into your business.”

    “I’ll think about it, but now I have to go. I have work in the morning and I can’t be late again.”

    “OK.” said the bartender, walking back to the bar.

    Tina looked over her shoulder, thinking that she probably would come back. It felt good to be out of her apartment, at least for a while. The only problem was the shadow of her regrets followed her everywhere, and she didn’t expect that to stop anytime soon.

    1. Another piece of the puzzle falls in place. Gosh, Tina sure does know how to beat herself up. Bette’s pretty much totally forgiven her — long ago by the sounds of it, Angelica loves her unconditionally… Tina really just needs to learn how to forgive herself. I know it will come. Yet again, a great (but sad) chapter, citygirl.

    11. Well City, it was a great chappy, but I personally am ready for the future! That was depressing!I want to see the “movement”. I luv the story, just tend to luv the positive more.

    12. Another chapter to love…I could feel Tina’s pain. I don’t think Bette was being formal…she was probably shcoked and worried about Tina’s phone call. They seem to be few and far between. Keep posting.

    20. Well CityGal, The misery really piles on in this sorrowful tale however I do believe that you have to reach the bottom before you can attempt to climb up again. The descent is torturous as time and time again Tina tries to validate her actions and fails. She is in purgatory but reaching out to those she loves. Thankfully Bette was there and able to talk. It might not get Tina to hit the deck but it does offer some light at the end of this tormented tunnel. You are nor afraid of showing us the darkness that this can bring and I welcome your bravery at showing it as it can be. Many thanks for this phenomenal fan fiction. Your Loyal Fan.
