You break it, you replace it – Chapter 9
Alice listened to the words of blame that Tina had only for herself and was at a loss to find a phrase, just a scrap of something to help take away the pain and this misdirected guilt.
“I could have stopped this from happening” Tina persisted
“No” Alice said firmly “You couldn’t stop what happened, none of us could”
“Yeah I could. It was simple, all I had to do was tell her the truth. The truth would have saved her. If I told her how much I loved her…how my life loses meaning without her, then she never would have needed to go. I sent her away, I did this to her Alice”
“No, you didn’t” Alice shook her head determinedly “It was an accident, it just happened, you’re not to blame for this”
“Now she’s gone and I can’t tell her what I feel, she’ll never know”
Alice thought back to her conversation with Bette earlier that morning and struggled to know whether it was the right thing to tell Tina in this moment.
“Tina, Bette knew how much you loved her, she’s always known”
Silence descended as each woman was left to her own thoughts. Alice knew that she did need to tell Tina about her conversation with Bette but it would have to wait for another day. One day they would be able to think about Bette with less pain and that would be the time to tell her. Tina began to focus on the tasks that needed to be done, even this was a welcome distraction from the guilt of making such a narrow escape when Bette had not.
“I need to call Kit” She stated
“She’s out of town Tina, Shane’s trying to reach her” Alice informed reaching over to tuck a stray strand of hair behind Tina’s left ear
“*****…I’d better call Melvin” She sighed “Hi Melvin, your pride and joy was flying to Paris because I wouldn’t…”
“No Tina” Alice interjected “Don’t do this to yourself. You weren’t supposed to be on that plane. Melvin can wait, you don’t have to do this tonight. You’re exhausted, why don’t I find you something to eat and then you should try and get some rest”

ok, thank you… just one more begging… please… let tina be happy with bette…
Oh thank goodness! *cries*. I’m so glad you didn’t kill Bette!
Yay Bette’s not dead. Can’t wait to see how Tina takes it.
oh good, Bette isn’t dead! can’t wait to see what’s gonna happen.
That is a relief she isn’t dead. This story is SO GOOD I am anxiously awaiting your next post. I am hoping Tina and Bette will be able to have the right conversation that will lead to a reconcilation
knew there was no story without bette. glad jaded is ok. know she really likes people to die in these stories!
wonderful! Can’t wait to read the next chapter!!!
really nice Hack. hey Tina is so going to freak when she she sees Bette…
Holy good God almighty! Whew. Hope there’s more tequila to calm T’s nerves! Thanks for this awesome addition.
that was fantastic, keep it going, you are really very good
YEEESSSSS!!!!!!!!!!
I knew you couldn’t get rid of Bette. Now hopefully Tina will come to her senses and straighten the whole thing out!
Have Bette go into the shower with Tina, and Tina proffes her Love to Bette. Good chapter. Catch the next one.
Let’s hope Tina hasn’t done something drastic. I’m thinking of Romeo and Juliet as I read this.
I agree with techgal. Please no!! Can’t wait for more. You rock!
Yes!! I knew you wouldn’t kill Bette. Now, more please.
Amazing! Even though we ‘knew’ you could not kill Bette off, you had us wondering the whole time which is really a work of art on your part. It took all day for Bette to come home, without a call, and her entrance was touching. I sort of wish Alice had stayed to maybe walk Tina out to Bette in order to dull the shock. How is Bette going to greet Tina without scaring the bejesus out of her :) Great story!!!
I’m am happy Bette isn’t dead…but why didn’t she call the gang…anxious to see how Tina reacts…second chance at life…excellent!!!
Okay I have just read your entire story so far. Wonderful Story, hell it’s awesome. My heart is beating like a freight train. Can’t wait to read what you have in store for us next.
thank you for not letting bette die….please continue!!!
I am still trying to get my breathe back. I hope Tina realizes as did bette you only live once and mistakes happen and we need to look at the Big Picture for what they really mean and continue with Life. Please post soon. thanks
