“So unless it’s an emergency I can’t talk to you at work?”
“Bette my days are really busy. Everything can’t be on your time you know.”
“Obviously.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“It means don’t ride my ass about not calling when you chose to ignore my message.”
“I don’t have time for this. I need to get ready.”
“Get ready for what?”
“Josh Becker and I are getting together tonight to watch a screening of some old Chayefsky films. We’re working on some rewrites. I think we could get some inspiration from them.”
“Tina you know I have my meditation group tonight. You said you’d be home to stay with Angie. You can’t do this to me at the last minute. We had an agreement.”
“I think work takes priority over a meditation group Bette.”
“It’s not right Tina.” Bette goes to the closet and pulls out a new outfit. This time she won’t be manipulated.
“Wow – when did you get that?” Tina asked when she saw what Bette was wearing.
“It’s very comfortable.” Bette mumbled.
“Who knew Buddhism could be so expensive.” Tina answered with sarcasm dripping from every word.
“It wasn’t that expensive Tina. It cost less than that $300 haircut you’re sporting.”
“I didn’t know that you needed special clothes to meditate.” Tina wouldn’t let up.
“Fuck it … you know what Tina in all the years that we’ve been together I’ve never lorded money over you the way you do me.”
“We didn’t have a child then.” Tina always used Angie as her ace in the hole to shut Bette up, but not this time. Bette would have her say.
“No we didn’t but that’s not an excuse for treating me like a piece of shit. We’re not destitute Tina. Our financial situation is not anywhere near as bleak as you’re making it out to be. Have you even looked at the joint accounts? You’ve been on this high horse about being the sole wage earner for this family since you took that damned job with Helena ’Fucking’ Peabody. She makes sure to rub it in my face every chance she gets making it sound as if she rescued us from poverty by employing you. The fact is she’s clueless about running a movie studio and needs your expertise just to keep things afloat.

DANA/LARA just needed to talk to each other rather than at each other.ALICE was off the chain when it came to her wanting to be with DANA,a little to late even for their friendship.DANA should’ve told the girls but it’s her choice and she prefers to just suffer through it with LARA taking the roll of puching bag .serious topic so take off the band-aid with a good pull and lets all cry together.pps thanks
Thanks for this and for deciding to return to daily posts.
Everyone deals with Cancer differently, some tell no-one and others everyone, it’s a personal preference. My heart goes out to Dana and Tina should be the one realising how she feels and doing something about it.
Still reading and with dunnthat on the quick removal of the Band-Aid !
Hey Bat, so glad you decided to post a chapter daily instead of weekly. I still remember the emotions this story provoked when first posted, the discussions got so heated they had to be moved to a discussion tread.
Good for Bette to finally stand up to Tina and telling her some truth. I wasn’t happy that Bette let Tina walk all over her in S3 so your take is much appreciated.
As for the Lara, Dana and Alice triangle – always thought that Dana and Alice were much better off as friends than lovers and for Lara and Dana to make a great couple … but ‘thanks’ to IC’s version we got Lara escaping to Paris, Alice turning into a junky and losing her mind and Dana dead by the end of S3.
Looking forward to your next post.
Thanks for this part andd the daily update! It’s so good to see Bette standing up and confronting Tina with her condescending, derogatory behaviour and all the crap she puts Bette through. Keep your story in that direction and I’m starting to make my peace with s3 ;-)
Dana’s story is kind a hard to read already but as you said that you’re going to change her fate I’ll keep reading and hoping. I always liked Dana a lot.
Daily update please! my heart
It accepts up to a certain level of suffering and
this suffering extend much he would need
medication for my heart Tibette.
And I hated to see the program by a submissive Bette
It’s weak.
The complete constellation.
