Chapter Ten:

Bette’s P.O.V

I stand here in the hall watching as she walked away and out of sight, I knew she needed to be alone but I wanted to sit her down and explain more, but after what she witnessed herself, I knew she would need some time before she could talk to me.

I turn to see Alice staring back at me.

That’s when my tears start to hit me and they start pouring like a rain storm.

“Bette..” I hear Alice say softly, I then feel her arms embrace me.

“I never cheated on her Alice.” I had managed to blurt out before I couldn’t catch my breath again.

“I know how much you love her Bette. You’ll figure this out, you and Tina. I’m here for you.”

I hear Alice’s soft spoken words into my ear. She’s right, we will figure this out. She’s going to understand.
…

Tina’s P.O.V

My feet can’t seem to walk at a faster pace as I made my way down the steps of Alice’s apartment building, when I reach my car I unlock it and quickly sit inside, but before I start the ignition, I rest my head on the staring wheel.

I feel as if I should have gotten more of my anger out towards her but something in her voice told me different, I knew I would need time to calm down before I could even stand to be in the room with her for more then a few minutes. I had a lot of thinking to do and with the state I seem to be in now with my rage and anger and my thoughts rapidly asking questions that are unanswered, I knew I needed time to try and heal.

As much as this pains me, I will talk to her. I just need some time first.

I make my way through west hollywood, I have just been driving straight trying to clear my mind with some music that played on the radio.

After an hour of playing the radio, I have decided I’ve had enough. I find myself turning into a parking lot of a cafe’, I park my car and sit there for a few seconds with both hands still resting on the steering wheel before I pull my phone out of my handbag that had been sitting on the passengers seat all night, my mind has been so clouded I forgot to take it in with me.
