Bette saw Tina in their bedroom. She was so happy to see her, so happy that she has her Tina here with her.

Tina walked closer to her. T baby what are you doing here? Come here.

Shut the ***** up Bette Tina walked over to the side of the bed. Her eyes bore deep into Bettes skin.

Bette was afraid to say anything. Where did her loving wife go? The person in front of her could not be her. Her face was a frown, her eyes red, and her spoken words are harsh. Bette lay on the bed not moving, afraid of whats going to happen.

Tina sat on the bed and looked at Bette with disgust. How could you do this to me Bette? How could you do this? You of all people. The one believer in monogamy and look at you! Look at us!

Tears fell from her eyes. Bette didnt know what to say. She was guilty of cheating on Tina and lying to her. Still she didnt move.

Tell me Bette. What did she have that dont? Was it good for you as it clearly was for her? Was she better than me? Answer me Bette! Tina was screaming now.

Bettes cries were now audible. Tina, T baby please. Please, youre all I want. I dont know what got into me. Please baby please forgive me

Tina positioned herself on top of Bette. You havent answered my question!

Oh god please, T baby please. What are you doing? Tina please. Forgive me, you have to forgive me please. Tina

Shane where the ***** are you going? *****! Alice thought.

Hey whats going on here? Marina said.

Nothing Shane just left. I dont know whats wrong with her. She just up and left

Thats weird cos I swear I saw her laughing with Dana just a few minutes ago!

Yeah well she wasnt laughing when she left thats for sure. Dana said.

I hope things are ok

Well I think wed better go Dane and see how she is Alice was ready to leave but Dana tugged at her sleeve. Dane, what?

I, I just thought maybe we could talk

Seeing the tension between the two, Marina made herself scarce and returned to what she was doing earlier.

Now? You want to talk now?

Yeah if thats ok with you

But Dane, dont you see what just happened? You know what Bette and Tina are to Shane. She must be devastated. I know were both hurt about what happened between those two but honestly Dane, Shane would take this the hardest of all of us. Do you think this is the right time to talk?

Well maybe youre right. Yeah youre right. Ill just talk to you later then. Hearing the disappointment in her voice, Alice sighed.

Im sorry Dane. I didnt mean to snap at you like that. Its just that Im torn between what had happened. And with Shane like that I just couldnt take it. I know what happened between Bette and Tina. And I saw them both today. And let me tell you Dane, the state they were in was just killing me inside. I mean I dont know how to, I mean I just dont know, you know?

Its ok Al. Well talk about this some other time k? Im worried about Shane too. We were laughing just before you came in with that god-awful news. Well at least she was laughing I wasnt Dana smiled. She held Alices hands in hers.

Well, do you wanna come? I dont know where Im going but a company is good at times like these Alice said hopeful.

You know Id love to Al but I think Im gonna head home. Tonya will be back soon. I dont want her to find me gone when she gets there.

With the mention of Tonyas name, Alice let go of Danas hands. Well I better get going then

Tina please

Tina woke up. What is that? She couldnt really make it out. She wiped the sleep from her tired eyes. *****, she thought, I cant believe I fell asleep on the couch. She sat up looking around at nothing in particular. Im still here and what was that? I thought I heard someone. Staring at the bedroom door, she listened intently. She figured it must have been a dream as the house stood silent.

Baby please

Recognizing the voice, she stood up. *****, thats Bette. She ran to the bedroom door but as she approached it, she contemplated going in.

Tina no, please dont hearing those words Tina struggled not to open the door. But her emotions and wifely instinct got the better of her. She opened the door and was aghast at what she was seeing before her eyes.
