Bette was gently caressing Tina’s lower back. She found out years ago, that was making her more relax and easy in her restless nights. Bette listened to Tina’s metrical breathing; she was lying on her tummy, her hands under the pillow….so pure…so angelic. Bette knew that Tina has had a rough day, and meeting Victoria again was wearing her nerves out. She leans forward and kissed her nose…her lips; Tina stirred but not woke up.

  Bette exhaled deeply, swallowing hard, suppressing her tears….then slowly turned back and start to get of the bed. She felt something grabbed her by the wrist. Bette turned her head, and her eyes met two hazel orbs full of love. Bette smiled at her, running her fingers over Tina’s…

“Hey sweetie, how did you sleep?” Bette asked. But Tina didn’t answer, just staring at her. That scared her, the look in her eyes was kind different…

“Baby… you ok?” Bette asked concerned

  Tina swallowed, smiled at Bette, and closed her eyes drifting back to sleep… Bette stood there few more minutes, not knowing what just happened, or what she should do…she hate this feeling of helplessness.

    Tina opened her eyes, and looked around, she knew the surrounding. She blinks few times, rubbing her eyes, rising a little. Sharp light blinded her, but she managed to cover them with her palm.

“Fuck, how I ended here…”She asked herself .Then she heard voices nearby. Tina knew that room very well, she recognized the posters and the bed she was lying on, but she couldn’t remember how she got there or why she was there…She look down on herself. Her clothes were different from the ones she was wearing before, but this somehow didn’t bother her.

  Jeans, t-shirt and sneakers…she wasn’t a teenager anymore; Tina raised her eyebrow “God…I hope Bette isn’t making jokes with me…what the fuck I’m wearing on…”. Tina slowly walked to the door opening her. She found herself in the hallway with the scary paintings looking at her, following her whit their eyes…she felt like a little girl again…so scared and confused. Tina walked down the stairs, heading to the living room, following the voices. They were louder and louder, finally she stopped, looking at her mother and father yelling at each other. Victoria was crouched near the wall, holding her knees to her chest, crying. Tina’s heart was beating fast; she made few more steps further. Suddenly her mother turned her head, looking straight in to her eyes….she felt like her heart just stopped, but she was too scared to say or do something different of just staying there…..
