Chapter 52

“Tina now relax, remember what we talked about yesterday. Remember that you agreed with Leo that when she comes back from the tour she is going have gotten her GED, and is going to start UCLA in the fall. He talked to her about staying Helena and Skylar. You agreed with him it was a good idea, rather than her getting her own place like she wanted.” Bette said.

“I know but how can I relax knowing that my little girl is probably getting ready to have sex with an older woman?” Tina said franticly.

“Tina, Gillian is a big girl and despite her age she is very responsible. She isn’t going to do anything she isn’t ready for. You did a very good job raising her.” Bette said.

“I know I just don’t want to think about her first time being so young.” Tina said.

“What makes you think she hasn’t had sex already?” Alice asked.

“What?!” Tina said.

“What Al means is that in these days kids are having sex earlier and earlier. It wouldn’t be unreasonable to think that she had already had sex. She and Caroline went out for what, almost two years.” Shane quickly said. She and Alice both knew that Gillian had been having sex with Caroline because they were the ones she had come to.

“See we don’t know anything for sure. When you talk to her tomorrow you can talk to her about it, but until lets just let her make her own decisions and know that she is going to make the right one for her.” Bette said.

“Yeah, even if that means she’s having sex.” Alice chimed in. Shane punched her in the arm. “Fuck, what was that for.”

“You need to go somewhere and pass out so you’ll shut the fuck up.” Shane said.

“Maybe you’re right.” She said stumbling towards the den. She made it as far as the bench in the hallway.

“Don’t pay her any attention, she’s drunk.” Bette said.

“She’s right though. Gillian probably has had sex. I mean she and Caroline were together awhile and they did spend the weekend at the beach house in Venice after her that woman (Leo’s Mother) bought it for her.” Tina said.
