Bette sat down in the chair that Tina had jumped out of, and looked out the window.. What the *****? she thought to herself.. Why did she do that? Just then, the door opened ..and Dr. Wilson came in.
Bettewhere is Tina?

Bette.Im sorryI brought you here so that Tina could tell you.

She came up positive.

Bette.she may need a little time alone.to process all of this
Noshe doesnt need time alone..she needs her wife said Bette as she stormed out of the office.
She went out and sat in her car. Now, where would she go Bette called everyone she knew, and even called the center..to no evail no Tina nowhere..so, she decided to go home and change before going out to look for her.
She arrived home and noticed Tinas car in the driveway.she walked in.and hearing sobs coming from the bedroom.she walked towards the door.once there, she pushed it open..Tina, what are you doing, baby

But why? asked Bette.

Tina pulled away. Dont touch me.you may get it
