Reckless Life

 (It has been over for quite some time, actually it has been three years since Bette and Tina broke up, but now they were close friends. In fact, Tina was also friends with Bette’s partner, Jodie Lerner. It took some time for all of them to reach that bond, but they reached it. Bette and Tina still loved each other very much, but realized that their love for one another wasn’t enough and it was best to put that love in their friendship. They were also parents to their four year old daughter, Angelica and wanted to be friends for the sake of her.  But things took a dramatic turn for Tina, she had broken up with Henry, he moved out of their house they shared together and she realized that she was alone. Bette tried to reassure her that she wasn’t alone, that she had her, Jodie, Shane, Alice, Kit, Jenny and Max as her friends and were willing to be there for her. That was suppose to comfort Tina, but it didn’t because Tina still had strong feelings for Bette, in fact she was falling in love with Bette again and it got to be so fucking painful for her. That was when the spiral to recklessness began.)

(Tina went over to Bette and Jodie’s place to drop off Angelica because it was Bette’s turn to have her. Bette was thrilled to see Tina and hugged her tightly.)

Bette: I am so glad that you are here; we have excellent news to tell you!

Tina (nonchantly): Oh cool, what is it?

Bette: Come in and we’ll tell you.

(Tina came into the house with Angelica in tow and she went over to Jodie who was sitting on the couch and gave her a hug.)

Tina: How are you?

Jodie: Terrific now that you are here so we can spill the good news to you!

Tina: So tell me already!

(Bette sat next to Jodie and grabbed Jodie’s hand and kissed it making Tina cringe a little.)

Bette (oblivious to Tina’s cringing): Well, I asked Jodie for her hand in marriage and she said yes!  (Tina felt like her stomach was dropped kicked, but she managed to hide it with a wide grin.)
