Well sorry just doesnt cut it Bette. How could you ***** do this to me? Tell me one thing Bette. Was it good? Did you enjoying ***** her? Loving her?

Tina had taken a step closer to Bette and there was only a thin wall of air separating them now. Bette just stood there, tears still falling.

I love you Tina.

GOD DAMN IT BETTE! JUST TELL ME WHAT I WANT TO KNOW! DID YOU ENJOY LOVING HER?!!

The fury took over Tina and before she knew it she was pushing Bette backwards and wouldnt stop screaming.

SEVEN ***** YEARS BETTE! HOW MANY TIMES DID YOU DO THIS TO ME?

Tina kept taking a step towards and pushing Bette backwards with each outburst, who didnt lift as much as a finger to defend herself.

WAS THIS EVEN THE FIRST TIME? DID OUR RELATIONSHIP MEAN ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO YOU? WHAT WAS IT TO YOU? A LITTLE FAADE TO SHOW OUR FRIENDS HOW PERFECT AND IN CONTROL ELIZABETH ***** PORTER IS!

Tina, please, I love you.

JUST LEAVE! I HATE YOU! GET OUT! ITS OVER. YOU MAKE ME SICK BETTE!

Bette reeled backwards with every push from Tina and was up against a wall before she decided enough was enough.

IT WAS ALL A LIE! SEVEN YEARS OF LYING! YOU ***** LIAR!

TINA!… Listen to me! I love you.

Bette was shocked at how loud she had shouted but it had gotten Tinas attention.

Why wont you listen Tee? I love you.

Tina took a step back from Bette. ***** liar. She turned around and walked away. Please leave Bette. I only wanted to tell you its over. Just leave.

Bette took a few steps forward but stood her ground.

Im not leaving until we talk about this. Bette paused and pleading looked at Tina before taking in a deep breath.

Tina? Baby, please?

Tina had calmed down by now.

I dont want to talk Bette. Im tired. Im tired of this. I dont recognise you anymore. I dont even know myself anymore. I dont know the person you bought out of me Bette. I dont like what Ive become. I want you to leave before we make another mistake. Its over.

Bette was overcome with sorrow at Tinas statement. She loved her and she knew Tina loved her.

Tina our love was not a mistake. Please dont say that, we can work this out but we both have to try.

Tina just sighed and looked right into Bettes eyes. The anger, the distant, cold bitterness had subsided and she stood there bearing her soul.

Dont you get it Bette? Its over. I don’t believe you want to try. If you did, you wouldnt have slept with her knowing that we were already in trouble. You shouldnt have slept with her after we lost our baby Bette. We were going to have a family and it was taken from us and thats when we needed each other the most but you looked for comfort elsewhere. We could have worked it out if we both tried earlier. But we didnt. Doesnt that tell you something? You didnt want to try then. I dont want to try now. Im too tired to try now. Infact I think you want to try work things out mainly because youre guilty Bette. If thats the case you should go now.

She stopped and looked at Bette with sadness in her eyes that was immeasurable. She reached out to Bette, held her hand and lightly kissed her cheek. Tears were streaming down Bettes cheeks now for she knew what was coming and she knew that she couldnt stop it. She would have to accept it. She owed Tina that much.

You should go anyway.
