Seeing herself alone and completely naked like this always cut into her heart. She didn’t want to dwell on the past. But when the past had left such visible marks and hidden wounds she sometimes couldn’t cope with the hardship of reality and her future. However bright the present and future seemed.
“I’m fine. I’ll be fine.”
Tina stepped into the shower and, just for a moment, she let herself weep. The hot water was on the verge of burning, but she didn’t care. She let is cascade down her body, letting it burn away all her memories. She wanted to rid her mind of all thoughts. She wanted to leave the past behind. She wanted to forget.

I so shouldn't have read this story while this song was playing! :'( Some imprints are just too much to ignore. The way Tina is feeling is normal. It's painful because of her experience, but yeah, we all carry the cuts our past has shaped.

well I'd say it's about time!!!! now Tina she needs someone to open up to and it can't b Bette, it's to hard after an ordeal like that to turn to your lover to talk to. Bette on the other hand must be aware of Tina's inner turmoil, she must b!!! 2 ppl that close with that kinda connection u portrayed, she has to know. Time for Tina to head home, back to her family and for help and healing. NOW KINDLY POST ASAP!!!!

Hey Cerdi, Good to have you back and posting a sequel to one of my fave stories. I loved the way that you used Bette and Tina's memories to show how wonderful their love was. Shame it took such a potentially life-threatening event to bring them back together but that said this new drama is continuing to highlight your magnificient talent. You write from the heart and illustrate all of the human fragilities that we each have. Your story tells the truth. Unfortunately I believe that there is now a Hollywood mentality where heinous things happen and then are easily overcome. People move on. In reality, the traumatic attack that Tina survived will always be with her, whether it is just bubbling under the surface or buried deep. I do hope that the love and support of her family and friends, therapy, time and Tina's own resilience will see her through. Catching the bastard as well would help. Please continue this most excellent melodrama soon. I adore your skill and dexterity. Much appreciation and thanks, Your Loyal Fan.

Hey Cerdi. Wow, your timing is great... just when I caught up on your last story you post something new. And just like I thought it is wonderful. And painful. You write Tina's pain and loneliness in a way that sticks with me... that's what your writing does... it stays with me long after I turn the computer off. Can't wait for more... PPS.

Thanks for continuing or really doing a squel to your other story. Someone needs to get inside of Tina before she implodes. She needs to open up quickly to either Bette or a doctor. It will eventually ruin her or even kill her. Scars on the outside are like a tattoo of life. You don't go and get them on purpose but you earned them one way or another.
