Tina drove without direction and soon she found herself near Eric’s neighborhood. She parked the car and walked in the building. Soon the elevator stopped and the door opens. Tina hesitated for a moment but second before the door closed back, she walked out.

…………………..

 “Bette…I’m home….” Kit yelled unlocking the front door with her set of keys. The house was quiet again and Tina’s car wasn’t in the driveway….”Come on…demit Bette, will you grown up someday…” Kit mumbled closing the front door.

“Bette….Elizabeth…” Kit yelled in frustration.

“I hate been called like that…” Bette mutters from behind.

“Where were you?” Kit placed her hands on her hips…”Didn’t you hear me calling?”

“I did…but I didn’t want to answer…” Bette said plopping on the couch.

“What happened now?”

“We fought…Tina wins…” Bette said looking blankly.

“Where’s she now?”

“I have no idea…” Bette shrugged her shoulders…”Probable with her boyfriend…Eduard…no scratch that…it was Eric…” Bette made annoyed face.

“You too are incorrigible…Bette, just talk to her…tell her what you feel, she’s not like Jody…she’ll never let you down. Tina’s your best friend…”

“That’s the problem Kit…she’s my best friend…the only person who understands me so well and could read my emotion with just one look…” Bette yelled in anger…”How could I jeopardize something so pure and invaluable…I can’t lose her…”

“Who said you’ll lose her? Hum…? How could you be so sure in something that didn’t happen…did you give her chance…tell me something baby sis…” Kit bends her head down a little so she could look Bette in the eye…” Look me in the eyes and tell me that you never had thought about you two been together…of you two sharing something more special and deep from just a friendship…!”

Bette was looking in the ground not saying a word.

“Look at me Bette…!”

“I’m not hungry anymore…you know where the kitchen is…” Bette said rising from the sofa and heading to her room.

“That’s right…run from your problems…like you always do!” Kit yelled after her shaking her head.

…………………….

One week passed by. Bette was quiet and usually deep in thoughts. She avoided the Planet, trying to avoid an encounter with Tina. The girls were thinking and re-thinking about ways to get them at least talking, but neither one of them had the courage of facing the other.

“Still nothing…” Alice asked Kit while she was taking a seat next to her…

Kit shook her head in respond…”God…is like a freaking soap opera…” she curst under her breath.

“Where’s Bette?” Shane asked looking up from the newspaper…

“At home…hiding…” Kit answered with sulky face…She looked around…”Where’s Tina?”

“At home…”Alice answered…” probable draining off Eric…”

“Alice…!” Shane scoffed, throwing her newspaper across the table…

Suddenly Bette walked in and stopped right next to their table…She was dressed in casual clothes…the jeans and t-shirt was something that you can’t see Bette Porter wearing every day.

“Ok…I’m ready…!” Bette said taking deep breath…”where’s she?”

“Hold the horses…ready for what?” Alice asked looking up.

“For the spring marathon…for what you thing I’m ready!” Bette hiss.

“She’s not here…probable at home. Why don’t you look for her by yourself?” Kit said, trying to hide her enthusiasm.

Bette just nods and walked the same way she walked in…without a word.

 The much known road seemed like an eternal ride. Every traffic light was red and that made Bette more nervous that she was…

“Breath Bette…breath…she loves you…you love her…what else do you need?” Bette thought.

Finally she was in front of Tina’s house. Her hands shaking and her legs- weak in the knees.

Bette walked slowly up by the patio and knocked gently on the door. Second after Tina opened. Bette could see that she’s been crying…

“T…we need to talk…!” Bette said with feint smile…

“Yes….we sure do…” Tina answered looking right in Bette’s eyes.

“T…I love you…!” Bette blurred out not expecting the following answer….

“Bette…I’m pregnant…” Tina said and starts quietly to sob again.
