"I’m afraid you ARE becoming my whole entire fucking goddamn life!"
Tina walked out. A minute later she poked her head back into the room. "You changed the rules Bette. You did."
"We never agreed to any goddamn rules!!" Bette pounded on the bed with both hands and cried out when the act caused her broken arm to explode in pain.
"What? What?" Tina ran back in. Seeing Bette curled up around her arm, sobbing and wailing, Tina quickly went to the bed.
"What did you do? Bette, let me see." Tina finally coaxed Bette onto her back so that she could see if there was further damage to the poor arm.
"I think we need to get another x-ray on this." Tina stated worriedly.
"No."
"Goddamnit Bette. Please." Tina was at a loss as to what to do. "Please, Bette. Let me take care of you. Please. This will be last time, if you hate it so much. Please."
"Just leave now. Don’t prolong the inevitable."
"I’m calling Kit."
"Just. Go."
Tina stood up. "You know Bette, the one thing I’ve learned in all my years is that we make our own fate. There is no destiny, no fate set in stone. You make your choices. You. There is nothing mystical in how your life will turn out. No one and nothing can change something you destined for yourself. You’ve always believed that I would leave you. Funny, here you are telling me to leave."
"Can you not take my drama?" Bette asked sarcastically. "Well newsflash, Tina. This is who I am. This is who you say you love. Or do you just love who I could be, not who I really am? I’m not your project! Your love will not heal me." Bette spat out. "I am not your mother."
"Fuck you."
"Get in line!"
"You think life is screwing you over. You’re doing it all on your own."
"Yeah yeah whatever."
"I’m calling Kit. Maybe you’ll let her take care of you."
"I don’t need anyone’s pity. I don’t need anyone. Okay?"
"Whatever."
Tina walked out.

EDITED TO ADD: My dear friends, I promise they’ll be fine. I don’t want anyone getting sad because of this story. I just read that gay marriage was overturned in Maine. This chapter was timed wrong, I’m sorry. I didn’t want to add to anyone’s sadness.

Angst and frustration but I stll love the story
one minute they seem so much in love and the other…drama!thank you for this story.Sorry to hear about Maine.
What a ride on the B&T Roller-coaster!
this is so how it can get though…maybe not as dramatic maybe more…but fear just projects all this stuff out at each other and slowly you move away. I feel thaey are getting closer to listening to each other…so I am keeping the faith
Just caught up with the story, and SO glad that I did! What an incredible job you are doing writing this. You know I loved the first story, and now this story has wrapped itself around me. Thank you for coming back to us to continue this story of Bette and Tina.
yes, you made me sad but i trust you…B&T should have couple’s therapy or keep talking, sometimes letting things out even in anger and frustration can help
Oh no this is bad and sad, hope they will calm down and talk and work things out. Please post more, thanks!
Bette needs to be stopped before she kills the relationship. Tina is only human. Thanks. Painful but, thanks!
I think both B&T need to go to therapy together. They both have things to say to each other, but don’t know how to say them. Bette’s insecurities and Tina’s past are colliding. They seriously need help. A very intense update. PPSAs for Maine,f**k you. I think we should get our own state and pass our own laws.
Hrm, they’re both doing things to push the other away. Tina knows good and well that if Bette finds out the real reason she’s on a first-name basis with her professor, then Bette’s going to freak out. And Bette… where to start with Bette? She doesn’t want to be needy, but she seems to need a lot. Maybe they really should both see Dr Morga together. Cos what they’re doing isn’t quite working… Great writing, thanks 7. (And as for Maine being the latest state to show how its constituents just can’t frigging see sense…. It all makes me want to throttle people, en masse. *sigh*)
well that went well :0 its good bette recognizes that she was pulling away, creating a self fulfilling prophecy by acting in a way that makes it more likely tina will leave her – but i so wish the last part didnt happen – ouch. always blaming herself but being unable to get over her fears doesnt help either. i dont know if therapy will help them or what – tinas clearly hurt & angry at how things changed tho it wasnt expressed (or maybe she never allowed herself to really feel in her ‘caretaker’ role for bette) til now. not sure what will break on thru but i trust that youll fix them again somehow :-) thanks 7pm and PPS
Well at least they are talking even though it went all wrong. They both need to see the therapist. Thank you for this story.
at least they talked, however awful the talking went…great writing…hopefully, they will reconcile their differences before Tina gets too entangled with this Harriett. PPS
Wow, it’s like watching a train wreck seeing these two try to communicate….ouch. Time for a good couples therapist, this is beyond being something they can just talk through themselves.
Holy Hell!! Love! Hate! Love! The agony of it replicated by the agony of B and her busted arm. Painful. How many bits of the arm can she break b4 they get thru this?
Hey 7PM, Another tough and aggressive argument between Bette and Tina. All these gals seem able to do at the moment is fight. They are pulling each other apart.I do agree that couples therapy is in order. Perhaps by having a trained thrird party in the room will help them actually listen and understand with the other is trying to say without flying off the handle and proving how little this moments mean to them.Bette is in pain and still refuses to let Tina help. Tina is getting mad and frustrated at this rejection.I do hope they sort through their issues soon.I am happy that we in Britain have the good sense to se the validity of gay marriage and continue to support same sex civil partnerships. Shame that teh US democracy does not feel the same.7PM, you rock!Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
