    The Fast and Fevered Fall – Chapter Twenty Six

    “It’s not coffee. I got you some tea, with some lemon it in. That should help with your throat, the painkillers are obviously for your head, and well, I just thought that it would be nice to have something sugary for breakfast, in the name of getting your blood sugar levels back to where they should be.”

    “I don’t know what to say to all of this.” said Tina, not being able to hold back the tears.

    “Hey, it’s supposed to be a good thing, not something that makes you cry.” replied Bette, moving around so that she could hold Tina in her arms.

    Without letting go of Tina Bette managed to grab a chair and sit down, her arms encircling Tina while she cried. Bette couldn’t remember seeing Tina so broken, not even when she had found out about her and Candace was she this defeated. If anything Bette had never seen Tina stronger in those months that they were apart and remembered telling Dan Foxworthy exactly that. It felt like Tina had given up and Bette needed to know why, if only because of the impact that it might have on Angelica.

    “How’s that hand of yours?” asked Bette, pulling back and taking Tina’s injured hand in hers.

    “It’s still hurts.”

    “I think that we should take the bandage off, it will heal better if you let the air get to it.” said Bette, tenderly unwrapping the bandage before Tina had a chance to answer.

    “You know my mother always used to tell me that wounds healed better if you didn’t cover them up.”

    “Well it must be true because that’s what I tell Angelica.”

    “And she believes you?” asked Tina, eyebrow raised.

    “She’s not old enough to know that everything I tell her isn’t all true.” smiled Bette as she stood up to deposit the bandage in the trash.

    “Do you think it’ll leave a scar?” asked Tina as she flexed her hand.

    “It will if you keep doing that.”

    Tina took a sip of her tea, and a small bite of one of the pastries that Bette had bought. She had to admit it was good, and yet sad. She thought back to the times when she had stayed for breakfast before going to work before she lived with Bette. How she would bring Bette coffee in bed before enticing into the kitchen with the promise of making it worth her while.

    1. That was really sad. But Bette was right, they weren’t in a place where they could have even attempted to get back together. It’s just a shame that it took Tina so long to start getting herself together. Once again, good chapter, citygirl.

    2. this is flashback i hope and your comment about happy ending scared me a little…i’m gonna resort to begging: please, please give us happy tibette ending

    3. I have to remember the flashbacks…lol…I love them but I get caught up and I’m like they are talking …yeah…then I realize she still left for 2 years…sigh. Why are you toying with our emotions…not telling you how to write but please have a happy ending in there somewhere. They belong together as a family. They love each other.

    4. So why did Tina take the wrong turn at this point when Bette admitted that she’d never love another like she had Tina and did not rule out a future together for them? This story is enough to drive me to drink.

    5. Hey Citygirl! I’m loving this story. You do a fantastic job of blending the memories with the present. Although i admit it usually takes me a moment to realize which is which LOL. And you’re right if it was anyone but you..i would think…happy ending…but that’s ok…you always do a great job. Can’t wait for more. OH by the way..is this the fic you were telling me about at the convention?

    6. Wow, you draw me in every time. You know it’s bad when Bette is too worried to be pissed off at how self destructive Tina is being and it only got worse for Tina. Love the back and forth, keeping us on the edge of our seats waiting for more.

    7. CityGal, That was tragic as both Bette and Tina realized what their stupidity and self-denial had cost them and those they profess to love. Hopefully this act will be cathartic and let them begin again. Brilliant emotional writing. Thank you for this moving and magnificent melodrama. Your Loyal Fan.
