    Author Notes:

    Bette makes a sacrifice. Contains some S3 spoilers, explicit language and angst.

    The Sacrifice

    With a shaky hand and tears streaming down her anguished face, Bette reread the note clutched in her hand for the twentieth time.  Gently, she put down the tear stained paper, and laid it on top of the pillow on her side of the bed. 

    As agonizing as it would be, Bette would comply with what Tina needed and prove she could be selfless.  In so many of their past arguments, Tina had implied that Bette was self-centered and she would constantly question Bette’s desire to support her family.  The brunette knew she couldn’t argue with either point, because both were true. Without a doubt, Bette had been selfish when she had the affair and truthfully, Bette didn’t want to work because she wanted to spend as much time as possible with Angelica.  Her reasons for the latter was something she felt she could never share with Tina, not with how indifferent her wife had been treating her and certainly not with what Tina now wanted.

    But no more. Not today. Bette would finally have the courage to do the right thing.  It would break her or quite possibly destroy her in the end.  Honestly, she didn’t know if she would survive, but it really didn’t matter now.  All that mattered was that Tina deserved to find some form of happiness that Bette could no longer provide.

    With emptiness in her heart, she went into the bedroom closet to retrieve a single suit case.  Laying it on the bed, she proceeded to unzip it and go about the painful task of packing.  As she packed her things, there was no attempt to stop her anguish. And why should she?  It was what she deserved, right?

    Bette packed the basic necessities, only what she needed for the short term not truly caring about any of the valuable items she was leaving behind.  She refused to think too much about the future, her future

    Alone.

    With grief engulfing her heart, she painstakingly took off her ring and set it on the letter. Bette did not want to part with it, but knew she had to.  Both rings had been inscribed, so they couldn’t be reused.  Therefore, when Tina was ready, she could sell them to support herself, since they were expensive rings.  Bette tried to sell her own, only to find great pain engulfing her heart, seizing her entire being as she stood outside the Pawn shop.  Disoriented and breathless, her body and mind refused to comply, not letting her go inside.

    3. well of fuckin course she left you….you dumb ass……you were sleepin round……with a man no less…..jeez…..now drop him like a hot tator and chase that woman…..hehehhehe…….gosh i love drama……….keep goin please

    6. damn bette i always said she was the girl on the show and fan fiction. i hated it had to come down to this but she deserves better than tina. when betewas the only one working she did’nt complain about money. my girl bette needs to get her confidence back then come to tina and angelica dont have heraway to long.

    7. Wow! Now that was something else. Great, heartfelt letter from Bette. I was waiting for Tina to say “what have I done?” but of course this seasons Tina would never admit to any wrong doing. I hope you continue with this.

    9. Wow, that was sad. I agree Bette, you deserve happineess too and if Tina can’t or won’t give that to you, then you keep it moving. I hope you continue…damn!!

    10. That was heartbreaking, as is the show this season…wait, as was the show last season as well! I hope you do continue this. Will Tina be truly upset, or will she just be pissed that Bette left her will all the responsibility? With the way she is acting, I think she will find a way to be the victim in this situation as well. Please continue. Thanks!

    12. Wow!!! That was really powerful. I think that Bette does need to leave Tins-Bette is trying & Tina is being a bitch-I just don’t think that Bette should give up her daughter also-but in the end I want all of 3 together. Update soon-great job!!!

    13. Yes My dear,you dont give a damn.So what was Bette to do,Keep on taking her shit. She will try to give the guilt to Bette,for leaving that she didnt love them enough The gang want buy that now Kit is going to be angry,and so is everyone else but it will be toward Tina not Bette. Post asap please.

    14. I think Bette should have left Tina but not Angelica…she need to be there for her daughter and not let Tina win…Bette screwed up, yes but she diserves to be in Angelica’s life there for she should fight for her. Great chapter, post soon.

    15. i hate my life….Bette by far is my favorite…and in the first season i liked tina … second season bette still my fav..tina ehh ok… third season bette by far is breaking my heart and i lvoe her to death and tina is a bitch and i hate her for being alive the only reson i still have any feeling twoard her at all is becasue bette still loves her and i want bette happy so tina better get her ass in line and get with the prgram!!!!!i love this story lol its soooo sad i love bette tina well yeah….

    16. superbly written, my heart completely broke for bette. i know alot of people have been very open about abandoning the couple as the show seems to have but i have a lot more faith in the wonderful fanfic writers here to tell a better story, so please do continue.

    21. Put that in your pipe and smoke it Tina! You did an amazing job with this chapter, Scarletred. I think that you should continue with this story but even if you don’t, I feel satisfied that through you, Tina knows the hell that she put Bette through.

    23. Great writing. Fantastic. Man I hope the man storyline doesn’t happen on the show, but as I saw on tonight’s trailers it seems that it will. If it does go down like this I hope gets to have her say on the show too. I’m glad you gave Bette her say-so, maybe now Tina will realize she does love Bette so much and needs her too. I’m glad Bette left and did not sleep with anyone else. Keep writing.

    24. it was heartbreaking but bette had to do it…tonight’s episode showed to me that she loves tina and doesn’t deserve to be trated like nobody, please continue and i hope tina will come to her senses and find bette

    25. great chapter. Bette has done the right thing. And if it doesn’t transpire to the actual season episodes…well, then Bette’s asking to be walked all over. Hope this happens to a degree, and things are resolved towards the end of the season. I can’t bear it anymore! Also – why would ANYONE say what Bette did in that Tina/Josh promo??!! pls post soon x

    26. Glad that Bette finally stood up for herself, altough she had to leave her baby.Hope you continue writing this and that we see the reaction of Tina and Kit and the girls.This was excellent.

    28. wildtouch said everything I wanted to say. Who the hell would expect their partner to stick around in an open relationship after being exclusive for so long?

    29. So painfully sweet… that was great!! I just can’t believe Tina became such a nasty person, but since I can’t watch S3, ’cause in Argentina they’re still playing s1, I’ll have to believe you.

    31. Great story! The letter was outstanding. I am heartbroken. I’m afraid that Bette might do this on TLW. Tina needs to come to her senses. Excellent writing.
