On the plane Bette tries to relax and rest a bit as she lacks sleep and she feels the tension in her neck. But it is hard not to let her memories drift off to the time Tina and she were together. The nice Sundays when they lied in bed till noon, made the breakfast and set the table together. They always made something special for the Sunday breakfast as it was the only morning they had time to eat in peace together. They had a hectic life back then, both busy with a career and a busy social life with all their friends. After the breakfast they normally relaxed for a while by the pool, in the summer. They never bothered to put on bathing suits as they enjoyed looking at each other’s body and the garden was fenced off so no unexpected watchers or visitors on these mornings. Of course, most of the time their swimming session ended up in a love making session, which continued till late afternoon and by then their friends knew it was “ safe” to drop by and they all had a bite and a drink till it was time to go to bed. These were one of the best memories Bette has, of course there were also the unpleasant ones. The ones in which they had their differences, rows, fights and in which Bette’s wakes up on the couch alone after her “ punishment” to Tina. Thinking back, she always feels ashamed of these actions, but back then, she never thought of it as a wrong thing or something to be ashamed of. But than again, there were more things back then that had been normal to her while now, she sees them differently and that is something she needs to get across to Tina. Maybe, just maybe, there will be some hope for them again, depending of course what Tina’s reaction will be when she shows up on her doorstep..

She knows she has to get on the Pomona Freeway and get to the junction with Ford Boulevard, after that she needs to ask as Tina lives near a Belvedere park but where exactly, was a guess. While she manoeuvres  the car through the traffic, the radio is playing some music and when the song of Kelly Clarkson “ Because of you” comes on, she feels a mix of nervousness, sadness, fear and anxiety. But she has to push them away as she needs to concentrate herself on the traffic and the directions. After she leaves the F.Boulevard, she looks for somebody that can help her in the right direction. She sees an older lady crossing the street, she stops, opens the window and asks her to help her. It turns out, that she is real close to the street where Tina lives, and as she turns the car in the street, the song “Hurt” from Christina Aguilera fills the car. “ Great, just the song I need to hear right now” she thinks and turns it off. She is looking intensely to see the street numbers and before she knows, she is in front Tina’s place. She abruptly stops the car and feels a shock going through her body. “ Okay Porter, what’s next?” She is sitting still in the car, contemplating what to do, she decides to call Alice first.
