Tina, Bette, Alice and Shane were sitting in The Planet. It was karaoke night and they were just here to get wasted. Jodi had left Bette for freakin’ Amy and Tina had a big fight with Henry. Alice and Shane decided to join them just because they liked getting pissed. Over the past few months, Tina and Bette had become best friends but Alice had noticed that there was once again more between the women. She had a luminous idea.

Sunset Boulevard came onto the stage. “Ladies and a few gentlemen, make some noise for two friends of mine… Bette Porter and Tina Kennard singing ‘What If I Said’ from Anita Cochran and Steve Wariner.”

Bette and Tina looked in shock at each other and then angry with their friends.

“Nothing to do with me.” Shane said.

“Go guys.” Alice said and pushed them towards the stage. They both sighed and walked to the stage. Bette was angry and Tina was just stressing out.

The music started and when Tina saw she had to start, she felt her heart going crazy.

Tina: We’ve been friends for a long, long time
You tell me your secrets and I’ll tell you mine
She’s left you all alone
And you feel like no one cares
But I have never failed you
I’ve always been there

Bette was looking at Tina, shocked. She had never heard Tina sing in all those years but damn that woman had a voice. She could feel Tina laid passion in her words. She was so mesmerized with her blonde ex-lover she almost missed the first line.

Bette: You tell your story
It sounds a bit like mine
It’s the same old situation
It happens every time
Can’t we see it oh maybe you and me
Is what’s meant to be
Do we disagree

Tina knew Bette could sing but she was still surprised at how powerful and low that voice could go. When Bette sang the last three lines, she got a flashback of better days between them and she had to swallow in order to suppress her tears.

Tina: What if I told you

Bette: what if I said

Bette&Tina: that I love you

How would you feel? What would you think?
What would we do?
Do we dare to cross that line between your heart and mine?
