“How did she get your number?”
“The old Bette gave it to her.”
“Fuck!”
“No, no! Haven’t you been listening?”
“Give me time to think about it, Bette. I can’t, I just can’t right now.”
“Then just listen and afterwards, you can have all the time you need to process. When she apologized, it felt like… She released a ghost. I don’t think I’m saying it right… She let the old Bette go. She released me. She released me, Tina.”
“From a prison you made yourself.”
“I can’t go back and change what happened and how I reacted. It was who I was at the time. I loved her and I can’t deny that now. Nor would I want to. But what I’m saying, Tina, is that it feels like I’ve just shut the covers of a particularly harrowing novel. I chose to read it, yes, but I could not put it down until I’ve gone through to the end. Do you understand?”
“So you’ve gone through to the end?”
“The book is ready for the recycle bin, baby.”
Tina was surprised to find herself about halfway up the bed. She had been inching closer since the start of their conversation. Bette held out a hand. Tina unthinkingly took it.
“Will you crack open this brand new story with me?”
“What kind of story will it be?”
“I think it’s a love story.”
“You think?”
“It might be. If I could persuade you to give this tired, semi-insane, but still ravishingly beautiful heroine another chance.”
Tina giggled. She wondered how Bette turned all her anger into mushy gooey swooning. Bette, Bette. She always knew the perfect words to say.
“Come here.”
Tina let herself snuggle up to Bette. She almost cried when it felt like she had finally found her home again.
“I know we’ve still got a long way to go. I’m willing and now able to travel that journey with you. Finally, Tina. I feel like I have both feet on the ground.”
“Oh, Bette. We’re not done, are we?”
“No. Never.”
Tina felt such relief that it actually felt like her bones had melted. “What will happen?”
Bette smiled to herself. She was so pleasantly stunned at how clear everything suddenly was.

Hey & PM, That was a fitting (if very quick) ending to this brilliant tale. It amazing that Candace’s phone call had finally apushed Bette over the edge and into the abyss only for her to realize that Tina was there and able to catch her.I would love to read more of your wonderful words so hope you continue to add your voice to this sight and give me the pleasure of your writing.Many thanks for for this story.Your Loyal Fan.
great ending but also a great beginning… there is so much more to write… go with it… we need all of the bette and tina love stories.. so pps
What a fabulous story and what a talented writer you are. I’d like it if you wanted to post a sequel to this one taking us through their recovery. If you want to finish your other story….I’ll have to go find it and read it. This was a wonderful story 7!
I want more of this!!! please!! beautiful story :)
Angels Never came down please… you left me on the edge of my feet :P
Fantastic ending. Thank you. Please continue writing. Thank you for this story.
Thank you for the story 7pm. Angels would be lovely to see through the end as well. Whatever you decide, any posts would be appreciated. Thanks again.
wonderful; now for the happy sequel
I’ve loved this one from the beginning. I up for whatever your little writing heart desires, I read it regardless. However I wouldn’t mind a sequel and please finish Angels too… Thanks for sharing this story 7!
I spent the day reading your 4 or 5 years of work here.Everything reads like the song All In The Dance to me so – please write on for another 4 or 5 years.
Thanks 7! It was wonderful to visit your Bette and Tina again. You have shown that you definitely have a gift of writing. Hope to see much, much more! Thanks again!
Great ending bt u have to continue writing please:)) I don’t mind what bt as long as u write it is k wit me thanks.

It’s sad that your story finds an end but maybe one day you will write a sequel. Now I would love to see more from “Angels Never Came Down”. I just read it yesterday and it’s great.
Now, that was a great chapter. I’m glad Bette’s laid that monster to rest, and gave Tina her due for propping her up. I can accept that as an ending, 7, but I really, *really* don’t want you to stop writing. We just got you back, so don’t be leaving, please! More of this, more of “Angels”, more of everything. It’s been a joy having you posting again. Thanks, 7! :)

I love this story!!!! You should continue on with it. I have read all of your postings in about a day and would love to read some more. The story just doesn’t feel finished.
Thanks for this ending. Oh the miracle of communication! I would love it if you would finish Angels and a drop in,maybe for the holidays for this one?
i think you’ve ended this story where it should. thank you. more of “angels” sounds the right way to go.
That was a great ending. I loved that story. Oh and definitely finish Angels Never Came Down. And, if you have time, maybe you could start a new one!
Whatever you decide to write it’s OK with me. Please come back and entertain us with your writing.
I think you should continue to write whatever your mind desires…..you are great

bettes mind sure an inneresting place to visit :-) its good to see her finally figuring her mess out, thanking tina for her strength & perseverance – a nice place to see them end up. sorry candace damaged bette so & glad bette could finally get over that hump. keep writing 7pm – love to see Angels continue ;-) & if i can be greedy – more of this but no more drama for our girls – seeing them happy & their relationship living up to its potential & leaving the drama & conflict to the others
CONTINUE PLEASE!!! Dr Morgan sounds so Professor Trelawney-ish.. Very cool, I would love to see what you have to say to B&T during their therapy sessions! =)
That was awesome and glad they clear everything out, happy for them. Now please continue with the story and let them have a happy life together, hope to see you soon, thanks!
No, not the end yet. Please keep writing this story, we need to know about the mushy gooey Tina and Bette now that they are trying very hard to make a go of their relationship. This story is far from over. PLEASE, PRETTY PLEASE, continue writing.
Great ending, please continue Angels!! =))
