“Thanks,” she said, taking the mug while moving to a more upright position.
“Do you want to talk about it?”
Shane. Patient as always. “Henry? No thanks.”
“I didn’t mean Henry.” Shane took a seat on the couch.
“Oh.” It. That one small word could refer to so many things. Although Tina knew it probably referred to one thing, one person, really. The person that drove her to end up at the little hole-in-the-wall to begin with. Well, didn’t drive her, actually, Tina managed that part on her own; which reminded her that she’d need to go claim her car at some point.
But dealing with that one relationship, the one that was off bounds. That did move Tina to go somewhere secluded and just try to drink It out of her system.
Try, and fail.
“Talking won’t help,” Tina stated, voice flat.
“Probably not. But it might make you feel better.”
“I don’t want to feel better.” Tina knew that was a lie. She couldn’t wait to feel better, even though most of her current physical state was certainly self-induced.
“I guess now you’re single, but…”
“But she’s not.” Tina completed the sentence. “And you know what’s worse? She’s in a relationship. And while they’re having a few issues, I think she’s in love.”
“I thought you were cool with that.”
“I’m trying to be, Shane. I really want her to be happy, I really do. And if I can’t be the one who makes that happen, then I’m trying to support her. But I have to admit, it’s tough.”
“Yeah.”
“I’m sure you felt that way with Shay, seeing him take off with your dad. Knowing that it made him happy.”
“I miss him,” Shane agreed. “But I don’t think it’s the same. I don’t trust Gabe.”
“It’s not the same, and the relationships certainly aren’t the same, but it’s about letting go of someone you love because that’s the right thing for that person.”
“I thought about fighting for him.” Shane picked at the leg of her jeans. “Gabe threatened to bring out stuff I’d got busted for. Most of it as a juvenile.”

An afternoon full of Jenny to start the rest of one’s Bette-less life… Ugh, no ta. I will blindly maintain that it’s not too late for B & T til the remnants of the good ship TiBette wash ashore. And even then, I’ll start crying “Rebuild!” like the pathetic sap I am. Erm, yes. Moving on, dumping that dry, toe-nail clipping clod is the best thing Tina’s done in ages. Excellent chapter, pseud. Thanks
It might sound mean, but I’m hoping Bette breaks up with Jodi and finds her way back to Tina.
Keep a going – this is nice real nice.
Love this….keep it going! I am very glad you’re back writing!
coop, that’s not mean, that’s being honest because, well, Jodi sucks. LOL At least Jodi sucks in terms of being half of a relationship that Bette wants. Shit, an afternoon of Jenny. Would it be bad if Tina went to work with a loaded weapon and blew Jenny’s head clean off her body? Anyway, I was trying to figure out who besides Henry wore gym socks. It was probably one of his anyway. lol ewwwww
Another Great Chapter!!!!! I do hope Bette breaks up with Jodi just because of the way Jodi was with Bette. Tina and Bette need to be friends for awhile. Then lets see them get back together. Thanks PPS
I am a sap also, not that I do not want to see Bette happy because god forbid she deserves that happiness, but she is the one who keeps going back to Tina for help with Jodi. Bette still somehow feels connected to Tina and just not by Angelica either. Maybe by continuing to be there for each other they will realize that they are still very much soul mates and would like to try again to be that family that they always envisioned.
fuck.i totally agree. excellent words and thoughts as always. thanks.
Great chapter, and I would like you too show us how Bette & Tina can work themself together after everthying, then e-mail it to IC at showtime
Hello Pseud, Another astounding chapter. I do think that Tina longs to be back with Bette but thinks that she is to late given Bette’s relationship with Jodi. How about kate and Jodi run off to NYC and live out their days stoned and arguing about artistic principles. Then Bette can lean on Tina and a beautiful rekindling of their romance will follow. This story is beggin out to be continued I for one will hand up and plead with you to do it. Seeing how Tina could win back Bette would be an interesting and entertaining twist on their relationship. Pseud, you have the talent to make it a must read story; full of promise and excitement yet tender and loving. Shane was a consumate friend throughout. Thank you so much for this morning pleasure. Your Loyal Fan. PS – Am drumming my fingers hoping the you will continue this journey. Remember sometimes the stories pick us and not the other way around.
Fantastic chapter to this ongoing story (please, please, please)!
Tina can speak for herself, but I’M not a shit for hoping Bette breaks up with Jodie. I think the prospect of an afternoon with Jenny would make me feel worse than a hangover. Loathsome creature.
Nice~~~ sigh… hope all the tease from the preview will truly give us something real for TiBette ;)
great chapter! well, me too hoping that Bette will break up with Jodi.
jodi sucks, jenny sucks, henry sucks and B&T belng together :)
I’m with Tina, too. I’ll just keep waiting and hoping that Bette and Jodi break up… Terrible or not of me.
Good chapter. Shane is a good friend, good that Tina dump hendick!
