“Sorry, I couldn’t find my phone.” were Bette’s first words.
“How are you?” asked Alice, hearing the sadness in Bette’s voice.
“Tell me Tina’s with you.” replied Bette, ignoring Alice’s inquiry after her wellbeing.
“She’s here. What have you done Bette? I’ve never seen anyone like she was last night. It was like her whole world had ended.”
“I’ve fucked up Alice. I can’t even tell you how much I have fucked up, and you know what’s the worst thing about it. I don’t even know why.”
“May you ought to think about that.” replied Alice, barely being able to contain her rage at Bette.
“I know I should, but I need you to tell me how she is? What she’s been saying about what happen?”
“She hasn’t said a lot. She wasn’t really in the right state on mind for talking last night. All I know is that you’ve been fucking the hired help. That’s so not classy Bette.”
“Don’t you think that I know that?” asked Bette, getting frustrated with Alice but most of all with herself.
“I think that you probably do, but now the question is what are you going to do about it?”
“I need to see her, to talk to her. To tell her how much I still love her.”
“Bette, I don’t think that you seeing Tina is a great idea. Right now if she never saw you again it would be too soon.”
Don’t say that.” said Bette, shocked by Alice’s words.
“I’m sorry Bette, that was harsh. It’s just that I don’t like to see her like she was last night.”
“It’s all my fault. I don’t know how I’m ever going to make it up to her.”
“You need to give her time. She needs to come to terms with what’s happened. I will try to talk to her today.”
“Will you?” asked Bette, momentarily brightening.
“Yeah, I don’t know if it will do any good, but I will try.”
“You’re a good friend Alice.”
“I don’t want to be in the middle of the two of you.”
“I know, but I can’t promise that I won’t ask you to help me.”
“I want to help you both, and to be honest I’m more that a little shocked that we’re even having this conversation. If I hadn’t seen how devastated Tina was last night I wouldn’t have believed it.”

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.
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!
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! ;)
I hate remembering all that pain…regardless of how well you write it…pls next post!!!
You would have thought that the carpenter would’ve been the one to end up with splinters. And they become infected so easily.
I liked the danish 4am kiss trip down memory lane lol :D
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.
Damn that was sad and painful for B&T. Ok let see whats next, thanks!
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 :)
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…
OMG…I don’t know about that being a good trip but I did enjoy reading. That was the beginning of the end for our girls…wasn’t it?pps
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!
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
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.
Great chapter Citygirl. So loved the way you had penned the trip down memory lane although it brings painful memories to the surface..
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…
