What if – chapter four
Tina moved her head from where it was resting on Bette’s shoulder, she looked up at Bette. “Do you think you could ever forgive me, trust me again?”
“Honestly? I don’t know right now. It’s too soon.” Bette stood back on her feet.
“Tina please stand up, I don’t want you on your knees. I need to say something before you leave.” She said.
Leave? Why would I leave? Tina thought, I never said I was going to leave. Tina was panicking.
“How we might move forward. I can’t even fathom it. I’ve only known you and everything’s always been about you these past seven years. But I realize that I can live without you… Tina YOU can live without me.” She placed her hands on either side of Tina’s shoulders, boring her eyes into her, letting her know that this was for real; everything she was saying was for real.
“We need to go our separate ways.” Tina eyes widened at the statement, her legs felt like they would give out any moment.
Bette continued, she needed to finish what she had come back home for. “We need to do this in order for us to come back together. I don’t even know if that’s possible to be honest with you. But at least I know I need time away from you. I need to be alone. I WANT to be alone.”
Tina just stood there, there were no more tears. She was shocked she never imagined this day, that Bette actually would push her away.
Bette saw the pain in Tina’s eyes; it was breaking her heart for her to tell Tina that she had really meant it, all of this.
“Tina, I packed your things.” She turned behind her and pointed towards two luggage bags filled with her belongings. “You can use whatever you want, we’ve got joint check and savings, and you know ½ will always be yours.”
Tina was finally taking in what Bette had been saying to her. She got to her feet and held onto Bette like her life depended on it.
“Bette, I’m staying! I’m staying!” She screamed. “You can’t let me go! You can’t do this to me! Bette, no, no, no, I’m staying! I love you! Please Bette! I know you love me! Don’t do this!” Tina shouted.

Anyone who has seen my few previous comments will know I’m a Tibette through and through and s3 Tina was more than I could bare. It seems people like to blame Bette cause she had the affair or blame her, in this story, even if she didn’t! But I think you have found a good thread to follow!!! PPS
Great update, loved it.
Yeah, i’ve read it with text :D Wow.. it’s a hard step, but in the end they will say it was the best. They could clear up their thoughts and missing each other will bring them closer. Maybe..
Okay so what happened to Bette’s epiphany in the mountain about understanding Tina’s reasons for getting drunk? She was saying she understood about the baby but right now she was acting like she didn’t know at all. I understand her decision to take some time apart but realistically she wouldn’t have abandoned an obviously emotionally unstable Tina on her own to fend for herself. Idk we’ll see what happens next I guess
Wow, you took that in a completely surprising direction. I see your point that Tina needs to make the choice to heal herself so that she can be whole again. That was certainly tough love. Thanks for the update.
That was a little harsh. My heart is aching for both of them.
Good update. thank you.
Tough love!
That really was a surprising turn, I never thought Bette would kick her out. But I see why she did, Tina needs to work on herself, love and respect herself. That way she can be open to Bette’s love and forgiveness. She needs to forgive herself in order for their relationship to work. Great chapter, hopefully they can make it through this. PPS!
DAMN THIS IS SO SAD AND FEEL BAD FOR THEM
