It’s very late and I’m still here in my office trying to catch up on everything that I have missed when I was in LA. I know that I must be making some kind of progress though because I can finally see my desk. This morning all I could see was endless amount of paperwork, and the e-mails were never ending.
It feels like it’s been really hard work, but I think some of that comes from the fact that I keep thinking about my conversation with Ally from two nights ago. She was so frustrated with me for not talking to Bette. I’ve never really seen her that was before, she always been so patient with me while I tried to figure out whether I was really ready to start another relationship. She thinks that I’ll never be ready to truly commit to her until I can lay the ghost of Bette Porter to rest and while that still remains the case she needs to protect that last piece of her from me.
I start to tidy up knowing that I’m supposed to be getting out of here and meeting Ally and Alice for dinner. Alice seems to have been in a subdued mood since she got back from LA. She hasn’t really spoken about what happened at the cemetery and I get a trace of disappointment from her that Bette and I couldn’t find the time or the will to talk. I almost certain that she blames me for this, and it’s so hard to explain why I had to come back here without doing something that I know I should have done. Then the phone starts to ring on my desk.
“Tina, I know you’re trying to get out of here but I have a phone call for you, she says it’s important.” says my assistant, Julie.
“Who is it?”
“Bette Porter, do you know her?”
“Are you sure?” I say, sitting down, thinking that it can’t really be her.
“That’s what she said. It’s kind of strange. She told me to tell you that she knows it that last thing that you would have been expecting but it’s really important that she talk to you as she has something to tell you that you should only hear from her.”

I´m FIRST!!!!! And i already posted this but…Ohmygod, Ohmygod, Ohmygod, Ohmygod. If I understand correctly, Ally is going to LA with Tina and Bette is picking them at the airport????? if tha´t so then , Ohmygod, Ohmygod, Ohmygod,Ohmygod,Ohmygod. Excellent chapter, amazing words and my friends thinks I´m crazy for saying “No, No, No” to my computer.
You are sending Ally to LA with Tina? Poor Ally..once Tina sees Bette. That’s OK..she will understand then she never had a chance
Okay, did Tina have a memory lapse when she asked Bette to pick her up at the airport? She didn’t mention Ally. I’m guessing Ally was an afterthought and now it’s gonna be all kinds of awkward. O.o
so ally is coming to LA woth Tina? hmmm, i wonder how it will turn out…what if Bette decides to let Tina go finally after seeing them together? i’m still hoping for B&T getting back together and it’s sad that Shane has to die for that to happen…and i hope that they will get back together because then Shane’s death would be meaningless
WOW!!! Tina taking Ally to LA with her. Not a good idea. Poor Alice Dana now Shane. This will not be good for her. Please Post Soon
She(Ally) can not go to LA with Tina!!!! and Tina should have been the one to tell Alice not someone who does not know her or maybe that will make it better.
I think Ally kind of invited herself and Tina was not thinking and only needed someone to hold her up. This story still has me thinking that citygirl is going to break my Tibette heart. This is the one time that Bette really needs Tina to be with her, alone. Bette is already a broken woman and now to loose that last remaining strong hold of her life she will be utterly lost. Kit is her sister but she could never understand the deep love the Bette and Tina shared and now have lost.
again, perfect wonderfully written, heart wrenching, but a good read…thankyou
absolutely awesome -the tension and pain just jumped off the page. I hate that Shane had to die to bring them together but perhaps now at least needing one another to get through the loss will allow the healing they both need. Whichever one Tina goes with I’m routing for the writer who can really spin a fabulous story.
IS Ally going to LA? Man, that’s going to be an exceptionally sticky wicket. Like there won’t be enough emotion floating around out there. Too bad for Ally, she’s been nothing but decent and she’s gonna get crushed by the weight of the epic love of B & T. By the way, I agree with Dimples 100%.
OK citygirl, this situation is easy to rectify. :-)Tina has Alice to go w/her to NYC. She does not need Ally . Ally just complicates the issues. She will always be Tina’s second choice. Any good friend would do what Ally’s doing for Tina. It’s just common decency. TiBette forever!
Sending Ally to LA with Tina and they will be in Bette’s car together? I wonder if it’s a good idea? Poor Bette, she has to handle the death of Shane and Tina with someone else. I am glad to see Tina and Bette finally talk.
Nooo…Ally can’t go to LA with Tina! That’s so cruel, I don’t think Bette can handle it anymore. *sniffs* Damn you are killing me here, please post soon
“…now you’ve got to go through something else, but you’re not on your own this time.” …See, I gathered that Ally meant Tina would have Bette. I didn’t get that she was going. If she does, she’s asking for a red eye heartache. Shane died for their sins, the price has been paid for them to reunite, etc., etc. How or why else would they have ever spoken to each other again??? Somebody had to do it! I hope Shane was an organ donor. (Tsk, tsk, Techie, always the practical one!) Thanks!
Do doctors transplant tongues???? …Bad! Bad! I KNOW I’m bad!!!!
You know I read that as Tina having Bette in LA too, well, we’ll soon see. But I have to say, 5 years and then 1 phone call, those years just got completely wiped away with a few words to one another, neither one ever forgot. Superbly written mate as always. I’m looking forward to the next emotional chapter.
well first, I will never forgive you for killing off Shane; and why oh why are you sending Ally with Tina to LA?!!!!!!I mean to say she sounds like a nice person and all BUT??!!! and what’s with Tina calling her ‘baby’ that’s reserved for ‘our Bette’!!!! and well, I dunno you’re driving me crazy with your story…but more soon please, lmao.
I cannot believe Tina is letting someone else (that is not one of the LA Family Clan) tell Alice that Shane is dead???? What’s up with that? Especially with Alice losing Dana not too long ago…this news may cause her to fall over into the mind swallowing abyss!
Well, circumstances are about to change for the worse for Ally. Great chapter.
Wonderful chapter. It’s amazing to me that your words can evoke so many emotions in me. I’m not feeling good about the possiblity of a B&T reunion–I hope I’m wrong. Thank you City for creating this amazing story.
I can understand Tina being in such shock that all she can think about is having someone she loves, and who loves her close to her. However, I would also hope that at some point she realizes how much Bette has already lost in her life and would not subject her to more loss…more pain by having to watch Tina being loved and comforted by another woman. At any other time, it would be okay to bring Ally with her, but under these circumtances, to me it would be for Tina’s selfish reasons only. I also understand why Tina would want Ally to tell Alice. Remember, Ally and Alice were friends first, and then Alice introduced Ally to Tina. So they are very close friends. This has been a heartbreaking story from the very first chapter. Thank you for taking the time to post.
I know it’s already been said but Tina should have told Alice about Shane. Until Tina officially gets with Ally Ally is an outsider with benefits. Tina is not thinking of Bette at all in this situation, Bette just told her that she still loves her and what does she do? Draw up a defensive plan to counteract that i.e. invite Ally to LA. Why is she making this difficult? Just see Bette and talk…and then get on with your life from there, she’s dragging out this situation. If nothing else Bette needs closure. This story is so good…don’t leave us hanging for too long.
Excellent chapter. I also took it to mean that T would have Bette. I guess we’ll find out soon enough. Thanks for taking the time.
I have a strong feeling that tina going to end up with Ally, I hope i’m wrong :(
This is amazing writing – you’re truly gifted. I know it’s only fanfic, but I’m really sad right now. Post soon….
Everyone should have a sonderful, supportive friend like Ally to get them through the bad times. That being said, please don’t let her go to LA especially not if Bette is forced into picking her up – it’s the family picture thing all over again. Ally’s a nice character, but how about a terribel bout with the flu, an unexpected work related trip, food poisoning, her sister with the 6 kids broke her leg and Ally needs to go help her…..etc. Thanks for writing!
Oh gosh! Another emotional chapter. Great writing! If Ally is going to go with Tina, I don’t think that’s such a good idea, coz she’s going to be heartbroken …
