    Author Notes:

    But rapist are cruel and they disgust me deeply. I understand my darker urges to kill them, or any evil bastard that gets in my way.

    But rapist are cruel and they disgust me deeply. I understand my darker urges to kill them, or any evil bastard that gets in my way. Tina leaning against me and crying from the inflicted psychic damage left by this creep Allsweld makes me wonder how many times just today have I wanted Henry face down dead? In my fantasy I step over him, pick up my daughter, and Tina and I walk away free.

    And it’s impossible, and it’s what I’d give anything for, but at this moment I’m notched far down from where I ever thought I’d be. Tonight, I’m Tina’s friend.

    Oh, how in the loving name of God are we going to do this for the rest of our lives and Angelica’s? If we didn’t have the baby would she have just driven off one day and that would have been that? I don’t see any trail that leads her completely away from me. I’ve heard what she says and I see her trying to keep our visits shorter. I know we’re not tripping backwards down the hallway to our bedroom anytime soon. But fuck it all. What else is there to do? Dive down to the bottom of the pool and pull the plug? Let all of it drain away? I’m not there. And she’d better never be.

    What I want to do is hold her in my arms as she cries and remembers and Tina tells me the truth now about how she got the scar I know is the next part of this story. In the police report I had surreptitiously received there were photographs of her on the scene with a frightened look, and the other shots were of her injury – jagged and dotted red from surgical threads knitted through her skin.

    I’ve kissed this scar many times. Gliding over it and barely thinking anymore about the barbed wire horseback riding story that apparently was a lie.

    But something else must have happened because now she’s crying harder. “What aren’t you telling me? You don’t have to hold this all on your own. You know that right?” I move my hand down to her lower back by her hip. “I know it hurts to talk about it.”

    “Is this bothering you? Me being here with you like this, Bette?”

    3. Great! I love the turn this story is taking… and I love the fact that you, unlike Ilene (who we all know was on crack during Season 3), didn’t make them look as though the almost eight years together never happened. They still ‘know each other’, they love each other and they will win this battle as well.
      Loved the end… maybe that’s one of the answers Tina needs; the Gipsy kind of reminds her of Bette (curly hair, then the scar – even though this one was just a fantasy of Bette). She [the Gypsy] saved her and that’s what Bette will do as well. Tina just needs to figure out she belongs with her.

    4. hey forgot to place my comment last night…

      If this is you when you’re not so sure on what to write?…Be my guess to be unsure for while. :p…

    5. You never fail to amaze me. You are turning S3 to something worthy to read about. I like the idea of the gypsy aka Bette’s look-a-like saving Tina. I hope Tina is able to remember how safe, secure and loved she felt with Bette and none of “the safety of a white heterosexual relationship” and that “it was the bravest thing she had ever done” that Tina spouts so much on S3. Barf!

      I wonder why Tina kept this secret from Bette.

    6. painful story about tina.. it brokes my heart. bette always stood strong for tina moreover, bette always the bravest soul.. i love this story. i wish you written a book about all this. it unique and wonderfully flow thru the heart. wonderfully done!!!

    7. I’m sorry that took a long time to write here as well.
      I liked it very much. especially the comparisons between the gypsy woman and Bette.
      This was absolutely true: Bette always strong and she supported Tina.
      the scene in the church was just too funny (though at one point, a certain kissing scene frightened me at first) :P but I admit it was a good distraction.
      the story that Tina was shared sad and tragic. wonder, Tina why did not tell Bette?
      I like that Henry will disappear :)
      (it would be: “Bette Porter, mentally devastating in style?”)
      oh, wait! You said Dean Porter come.
      this means that Jodi is coming too? (I would be teasing, I would ask if she left out?) :D
      I look forward to the next chapter.

    10. Here is an interesting story I did a polish on yesterday while dreaming up a new story for Touch Tones, my Season 7 L Word inspired storyline. When I wrote this back in April I remember how I felt Tina needed to tell us all so much more about her background. This story occurs in the Showtime series’ 3 rd season timeline. Rewriting it I recalled what a difficult season that was to write my L Word behind the scenes stories just beneath. Dodging always were Tina and Bette’s unending aggravations with each other that made watching Season 3 so painful.

      That said, I’m also filling in a part of Tina in this story that I felt needed amplifying. The deepening character history I gave her in Season 2 concerns her behavior after the birth of Angelica. To me, as a storyteller I needed more of an explanation as to why Tina acted so bizarre toward Bette at that time. I understood that she was angry, but she acted on the show at times – well, bizarre. A few stories back in this series I gave Bette the idea to look more into women suffering from postpartum depression and weirdness. She did and started a blog. That was amusing.

      In “The Gypsy Whistles” we are past the direct actions of Tina’s crazy behavior – Helena, Henry, etc., and are dealing with their after effects. In this touching story she tells Bette about a secret she’s kept for many years. Introducing her curiosity about Gypsies in this story led me to write a few wonderful tales that revolve around Tina finally going to a Fortune Teller for answers when her feelings of being ill at ease won’t release her.

      Please enjoy,

      • I think pages 6 to 10 are a repeat of pages 1 to 5.
        I so enjoyed reading this and as there is no previous comment from me think I may have missed it first time round. I am so glad I’ve read it now.
