    The Fast and Fevered Fall – Chapter Fourteen

    Alice lay in bed, she looked over at the clock, 10am. That meant that she had got less than five hours sleep before being woken up. She listen to Tina shuffling around her apartment, first in the kitchen and then in the bathroom. Alive listened as the shower was turned on, the water gushing out, maybe washing some of the pain away.

    She thought back to last night. Her 4am kiss with Dana. Why had she done that? It was impulsive and just a tiny but reckless, but she had to do something. She couldn’t let Dana marry Tonya without telling Dana how she felt. It had been building up for months. She tried to deny that she was falling in love with her best friend but soon the feelings were too powerful to ignore, and it was then that she acted on them. Why she had to act on them at 4am though, she had no idea.

    She had been mentally berating herself all the was home and even as she walked down the hallway of her apartment. It was then that she saw a figure sat on her couch. Why would Tina be sitting there? She should be at home with Bette, fast asleep, dreaming about the success of the opening night of Provocations, and yet she was here. It made no sense then, and even in the cold light of day it still didn’t make any sense. Bette was many things but Alice had never doubted her loyalty, to her friends and especially to Tina and their relationship. The amount of times that she had heard Bette say that meeting Tina, and falling in love with her, was the making of her were countless.

    Alice tried to remember if she had ever seen anyone so desperate as Tina had been the night before. She could barely stand she was so overcome with grief. As they stood there, by the chart, Alice remembered holding her up. She really thought that Tina was going to collapse under the weight of her anguish. They had talked a little but Alice had only got the bare bones of the story. Bette had been having an affair with Candace and Tina had found out that night. There didn’t really seem like a lot more to say after that. That was enough to break Tina’s heart. Alice had already noticed that Tina’s commitment ring was conspicuous by its absence. Alice wondered where it was but she wasn’t going to ask.

    1. Oh, Alice. Hard thing, to be caught in the middle. Again, a chapter that’s made me sad, even though I know there’s a brief respite coming. I always love your posts, give us another soon. Cheers, citygirl.

    2. That wasn’t a nice trip down memory lane!! But so good at the same time. You forgot your rule – well can I do one for you?? Thanks, I knew you wouldn’t mind: Rule No ? – Never sleep with a carpenter!

    3. I like Jo’s rule. A lot. And shall live by it. Because I can. Always great, always heart wrentching. Pretty much what I can always count on with you. And that was NOT a nice trip down memory lane! LIAR! ;)

    4. When Bette betrayed Tina by sleeping with Candace, I don’t think anyone knew how badly it destroyed her. I don’t think a person can be the same after having their soul mate, their first last and forever screw them over like that… That said, I beleive true love can overcome anything and I think Bette should be the one to put back the shatered pieces of theire life and help bring back the woman Tina once was.

    5. i love the show but they do leave a lot of things unsaid and unexplained, i really liked this chapter because i could see what could’ve happened at the end of season 1…anyway, still hope for happy ending :)

    6. You took me back down that dark sad road…I just want IC to make it better in season 4 I want the light hearted group back. I want Bette & Tina back together…I want …I want…I want…

    7. get a grip lament, this is just my opinion, and gathered from all the stuff I have read since season 1. I know also that there were differences in the situations of cheating but IMO, it was way wrong of Alice to turn her back on Bette for doing something she herself was doing. Not being a good friend at all, but as I said, there was a level of bitterness still there toward Bette. Peace!

    8. Painful…thank you for reminding us about the terrible pain that Tina went thru with her sense of absolute betrayal by Bette…it is a terrible thing to go thru when you love so deeply and have committed so deeply and I believe it is that which leads Tina to cut a path of destruction thru Bette’s life up to the end of s3…I am hoping tho that during s4, recovery will set in and they will find their way…I live in hope or I have to give up watching the L Word; of which s1 is just about to appear on my screen…the episode with Marcus’ gf shouting at T…NZers seem to love ity, its been replayed 3 times now…PPS

    9. I know how everyone feels about the affair, but I feel that both people bear the responsiblity for the breakdown in a relationship. Yes, Bette made a mistake, a big one, but she is human. She made a mistake, she didn’t do it to destroy tina! I get very tired of Tina expecting her to be perfect..Tina has made ALOT of mistakes, would she like to pay for them for the rest of her life? The thing that really bothers me though from the show, is Alice..who absolutely crucified Bette, when she and Dana were cheating on Tonya. I always thought that she has alot of bitterness from Bette ending their few week relationship, Alice is very needy, asnd she saw this betrayal of Tina as another of her.I just wish people would stop making tina a blameless saint in all of it..she and Bette are human beings and should be treated as such.

    10. I don’t see ANYONE making Tina a blameless saint. If anything there’s a shitload of stories floating around these days where Tina is one of the most evil characters I’ve ever read. This story shows how far Tina herself as fallen not just from Bette’s actions, but from her own. I also don’t think Alice and Dana getting it on behind Tonya’s back is on the same level as B&T and the carpenter. Dana and Tonya were engaged, yes, but they were together for like 10 seconds compared to B&T. *repeating to self* it’s fiction, it’s fiction, it’s god damn motherfucking fiction…
