“I’ve looked into many Art schools but they are all overly priced…” Bette was too afraid to finish her sentence. “…but she just accepted a traineeship offer at the Whitney museum”
“You did!” Tina wanted to hug and kiss Bette; she knew it was Bette’s dream to study Art.

When Bette went home she found a few of her clothes outside on the lawn and the door locked.

Bette woke to the sound of Alice’s phone buzzing like crazy. She saw who was calling, ‘Dana’, a slight giggle left Bette’s lips. She jumped onto Alice’s bed, whispering in her ear “lover girl is calling” Alice’s eyes widened, “give me that”

Bette slept on Alice’s floor last night seeing how her dad locked her out after finding out about Tina and her dating. She wasn’t even mad at Tina for telling him – well she wasn’t exactly thrilled about it either but she was more worried about how much she hurt Tina by not telling her about New York.

“Have you called her yet?” Alice passed her phone Bette’s way, “I’m trying to give her some space, you should have seen how hurt she was Al…”
“Yeah, but if you don’t talk to her soon she’s going to think you don’t care about how she’s feeling, just explain to her that you have been given this opportunity of a life time…”
“Al, I think she knows that, it’s the fact that I waited to tell her. Truth is, I didn’t want it getting in the way of our last few months to…gether” Bette put her head in her hands trying not to cry again.
