What Time Reveals Part 21
Then…
“And that is the difference between you and Helena. I bet you could go out there right now and ask her who I’m talking about and she would be able to tell you. We are so far away from one another I don’t know if we would ever be able to find our way back Tina, but know this: What’s happening between Helena and myself is real. I enjoy the time I’m spending with her and I don’t want to stop the feelings I’m having for her. For the first time in a long time I feel like I can be myself without any worries and I like it. A lot. Something is seriously going on with you Tina, I don’t know if it was the pregnancy, my affair, or the birth of Angelica, but you haven’t been the same woman that I met and fell in love with all those years ago. I’ll help you in whatever way you need, but only as the other mother to Angelica, because I can’t right now as a friend and most certainly not as a lover.” Bette let go of Tina’s arms as Tina’s eyes filled with tears. Bette’s jaw clenched because whatever was going on with Tina, she needed to find out for herself and fix it because she couldn’t do it for her anymore.
Bette went to the door and unlocked it. She opened it and walked partly through it. She looked at Tina trying to figure out how to solve all of this.
“My mother Tina. You hurt me more than my mother ever did when she left me to never see me again.” With that Bette walked out and closed the door. Tina felt the tears stream down her face. ‘What the hell was she going to do?’
Now…
Alice kept looking at Tina as they were riding back to her apartment. Tina decided that she didn’t want to know when her parents came back to the hotel, so she called and left them a message in their room. Tina now sat in the cab, crying. She was silently walking herself through every step of her life, wondering how she got there. Wondering when she gave up on her and Bette. Alice was holding Tina’s hand unsure of what to think. She knew that her friend was hurting and the truth of the matter was, she understood to well how that felt. The last time Bette had moved on like this was after all when they broke up and Bette started dating Tina. Of course there had been other women between Alice and Tina for Bette, but Alice didn’t feel the finality of their relationship until she had seen how Bette was with Tina. She truly didn’t think Bette would ever be like that with someone again, but the brunette proved Alice wrong, because now she was seeing it all over again with Helena. Of course this time, Alice felt that Bette deserved some happiness, but she wasn’t going to say that right now, after all Tina looked like she would curl up into a ball right now and die. They got to Alice’s house without any problems and Al helped Tina up to her apartment. It was then, that Tina looked at the chart. She felt her jaw clench and noticed that Alice hadn’t added a line to Helena from Bette although Helena was already on the chart due to herself. She walked shakily over to the chart and picked up a marker. Alice got a strange sense of déjà vu when she saw Tina approach the chart. She swallowed the lump that formed in her throat. She felt really bad for Tina, the blonde looked like she was falling apart.

why does it have to take bette finding someone new for tina to realize all these feelings for bette?
WOW!!!! GReat Chapter. Tina does need to help herself and do it for the baby and to get herself back. But PLEASE let her leave Bette and Helena alone they are happy and Great together. Thank you
life’s a bitch…great chapter…sucks for tina…but com’ on, does she think that an ‘oh, i’m confused’ can work…? great job, tina’s emotions seemed real…looking forward to the next post.
Once again Alice has shown that she is no real friend to Bette. Not only in the constant and continued support to Tina no matter what evil thing she does, but in comparing the few weeks she and Bette dated to an 8 year relationship, AND bringing up Bette’s affair to tina as ammunition against her. Tina needs to leave Bette and Helena alone, Bette is happy now!! Oh and note to you and all other B/H writers, have pity on me, I read far too many tibette stories over the weekend out of boredom, with Tina being her passive agressive, insane self, til I was wishing to do her in with a grenade launcher or some such thing….please I need more Bette/Helena antidote!!! Help a sister out here, please?????????????
hmmmm sad chapter, written beautifully…thanks Pands
Sad indeed especially for a TiBette fan ,Iam so glad P U always give Tina someone 2 be there with her.I cont belive some ppl want Tina 2 b unhappy and alone for the rest of her life,U would think ppl would want Tina 2 find someone and b happy with them so she would leave Bette alone,but no alot of ppl want her hunt and alone ,but I have 2 give it 2 you P U are trying 2 redeem her and give her hope (as U told me U would U are true 2 your word)and put ppl around her that will help her thats Y I keep reading your fics on B&H.GOOD GOOD JOP P .It broke my heart and if something can brake my heart BABY its GOOD WRITING.Please keep it up P.U post it and they will come.
aaaaaaawwww now u have me really feeling bad for tina! =( great chapter! i can’t wait to read more! =)
Talk about deja vu w/that damn chart. I’m surprised Tina hasn’t tried to burn the chart yet. Everytime she looks at it, it is just a reminder of Bette and someone other than her. I don’t think Bette and Helena will hold Alice helping Tia against her; after all Tina is Angelica’s mom so I’m sure somewhere deep down Bette wants to se Tina happy for the baby’s sake.
Yup, Tina needs to do this only for herself and for Angelica. Her efforts will backfire if the main impetus for working on herself is to win favor with her ex, and then she’ll be resentful all over again.
I’m glad Al was there to tell her Tina that she needs to do this for herself and the baby. When Tina included Bette in this, once again, all I could feel was Tina still not having a backbone and using Bette some more. Wonderful chapter!!!!!!
Wow you really know how to write drama don’t you. But I don’t give a damn about Tina being unhappy. She got what she deserved. Now she finally will know how much she has hurt Bette the past couple of years. Please post soon thx
yeah…Tina go to find yourself and someone else for you..leave B&H alone…I can forgive you betrayed Bette…but can’t stand you try to get Bette back..she’s happy now…don’t do anything ruin it…please let us know what will happen next…thank so much…I really looooove your story…
Very good chapter.. =)
i dunno what…but i messed up my comment, I meant “I know Bette’s shyt tired of all the fighting etc but she loves her baby T and Helena and her will never be the same as B and T, so go work yourself out T, explore your childhood or whatever has driven you to craziness…in the meantime, let Helena, Winnie and Peggy drive Bette crazy enuff for her to reconsider helping her baby to recover, it take the two in the relationship to fix it…great friend Alice to both of them…..Tina could be dead without Alice…oh yeah i try to get over it but i’m a tibetter…and every story i read only confirms that..even when helena or someone has their nice moments with bette….
oh pleasz bring Bette back to Tina..i know Helena’s been nice but shyt she’s not the one!!!!!!Bette’s just tired and her T’s a m angry…and her T’s a mess, nows when her baby really down and out and needs her, now they can get real ans stop being ‘Hoolywood’…anywayz that’s my opinion, no other love and all that
Damn, this is sad to read. I don’t care if Tina was a raging you-know-what. Like the old folks (yes, those same old folks from Sunday) say, “You don’t miss your water until the well runs dry.” …I think Tina is SOL in the middle of the desert, without a canteen. Karma is a …
There are so many TiBette stories, beginnings, post-s3 and a bunch somwhere in the middle. I, for one, am happy that there are a few authors out there willing to not only write about different pairings but to remain loyal to their original ideas. Keep up the good BeLena story, pands, I’m definitely a committed reader. :)
Very well written Pands, i almost felt sorry for her, emphasis on the ‘almost’. She needs to sort her shit out for herself, leave Bette and Helena alone. Thanks P looking forward to more.
