Tina slumped down on the couch, exhausted from the day. She thought back to the day when she had moved into Bette’s house. The scorching kiss that she and Bette had shared in the U-haul and then the conversations about what would happened if they ever broke up. That day Bette had said that she would love Tina no matter what happened. Tina wasn’t so sure that was the case anymore. The miscarriage, Candace, Melvin dying, that was a lot of strain to put on one relationship that was already beginning to falter.
Tina searched her feelings. How did she really feel about Bette now? She knew that there was still love there, she only had to think back to how they were this morning. The regret that they couldn’t make it work seemed to pour out of both of them. The mutual love that they both had for Angelica tying them together. Tina remembered Bette asking how long she wanted their love to last. Tina had replied that she wanted it to last a lifetime, and maybe it still would, just not in the way that Tina had imagined on that day.
The house was quiet, Mikey was at his mother’s and Henry had gone out to get Chinese food and beer. Tina smiled to herself, this was the start of the rest of her life, maybe. Tina thought back to another thing that Bette had told her. If she couldn’t make it work with Tina then she didn’t know who she could make it work with. Tina had felt the same. In fact, if she really dug down deep within herself there was a part of her that still felt that way.
For the last year she had lived in a state of total confusion. Which part of her was the passing phase? The eight years with Bette or the need to live the life that she had always imagined for herself before that fateful evening when she walked into The Bette Porter Gallery. She knew that Henry was a good man, and he loved Angelica. Maybe they would grow old together, have another child of their own. Live in suburbia, away from The Planet and Tina’s friends, away from the life that she had known. Her only contact with Bette coming from their common interest in what would be best for Angelica.

I’m still here, still reading and a loyal follower wherever you decide to take us…..Thankyou for your time and effort!!!
My God Henry is so boring (as if I had to let anyone in on that)!
Tina really is messed up!
*sigh*. I don’t know, this chapter left me feeling quite sad, for some reason. Even though Tina’s actions and thoughts are full of uncertainty, there’s an air of finality about everything in this chapter. Like it’s been underlined and a page turned. Sad or not, I’m enjoying the story so far. Hope you post soon, cheers.
WOW!!! I am with Jobadge on this one. Thanks PPS
Tina’s confused and I am really sad at this turn of events. Bette is a force of nature and Henry is just an ordinary man. Good writing.
no one can figure out why tina is there and not with bette!!
God almighty, if she can’t answer that question, what the fuck is she doing there?
First off citygirl..love rule # 9!! And more importantly, love this story! Its so painfully honest and tradgically sad – my heart is breaking- I like that you don’t have all of the answers and neither does Tina- so goes life- lots of things remained unresolved in our lives and wind up unconsciously driving us- as we go along for the ride- I’m along for this ride citygirl- thanks for posting!!
oh tina, come back to our side, men are soooo boring
This was great, but I just don’t see any man…even Henry being that wonderful and understanding about the fact that his girlfriend still loves her ex female lover, and being so loving even when she is questioning why she is with him and not with Bette. Thanks!
Really enjoyed this post. Tina has a lot to figure.
Nothing sticks in my craw like an indecisive Tina. Okay so she is working thru what happened between her and Bette…why bring Henry in this if she dosen’t love him (and she’s straight up lying if she says she does)…she has known this man 20 minutes and Bette pratically a lifetime (even more time if you count it in dog years). I am with jp22 this seems so final…but then again this IS fanfiction. Bring us some sunshine City make us happy…or at least let Bette be happy…please no Helena.
This is so not how I want this to go. Tina with Henry, doesn’t work. No matter how you play it, and its one thing I know for sure whether in fanfic or the show I will never accept, and if it continues in the show will probably be a very good reason why I won’t watch it. I’m not saying it never happens cos it does, but damn shouldn’t the show be more like a romance novel, if I want reality I can just open my eyes.
You are going to kill me or send me into premature labor. You sure can write a story. Thanks and post soon..pretty please.
Hmmmm, Bette’s Boobs, or Borings Balls?Tough question…….if you are stupid!!! Listen, Tina, pull your head out of your arse, wash your face, hands, and any other parts this dill- hole touched, and get back to the sexiest woman on legs. Okay, I’m done my rant. Oh yeah, great story. :)
I’m lost – I love your jumping but I do tend to get at times and this one threw me – are we in the present with Tina or some part of the past? sorry but I just got very confused.
Tina living with Her Boy Toy. OMG what is she thinking? She is very messed up thanks
Ditto cdngirl. Excellent writing!
Tina with henrydick, what the fuck is she thinking, poor my Bette. Im with cdngrl and let see whats next, thanks!
Another very intersting chapter. Your writing and dialogue are very well crafted. I think that Tina needs to make a choice. In my TiBette heart I can not seem to see Tina with Henry. Please bring Tina to the answer that is Bette. Thanks!
I f’ing hate Henry. This reminds me of how painful S3 was…and how frustrating.
If she’s questioning why she’s not with Bette WHILE STANDING IN HENRY’S KITCHEN… she might be in the wrong place… Just might.
sweet geezus this is so agonizingly sad!!!!…it’s almost too unbearable to read…which means it must be good huh??? it;s just I hate crying over them, Tina & Bette and lost dreams and hopes…I mean why settle??? if you r gonna settle, imo, u may as well settle to be alone not with a Henry for god’s sake!!!!! Tina…Tina…Tina
Are you absolutely certain that you are not related to IC?! At least with the show I can change channels when it gets all painful and gut wrenching. I can only make myself avoid reading your posts for so long though and then I have to give in and read knowing that I will kick myself in the ass after I finish. In spite of breaking my heart a little more with each post, you still rule!
Uh! Tina Tina … Great writing Citygirl :)
Please tell us citygirl! I want to know why Tina chose Henry over Bette, Helena I understand and even Josh being an ass but Henry? come on! I know IC won’t give us the answers…
This is such a great story, as were the ones before it. The way you go back and forth between the stages in their lives is awesome. Thanks for taking the time to wirte.
