It’s funny how once our lives reach that place in time where we feel comfortable and can’t be any happier then life takes a sudden turn and shows us just how wrong we are. That’s exactly what happened to Bette and me the night of Provocations.

 

Bette and I always said we were each others first, last, and forever, yet when I saw her with Candice that night I felt my heart break into and all of our dreams die as I stood there watching them at the far end of the gallery.

 

Running out the back door by Bette’s office I jumped in my car and sped away before Bette even realized I was gone. I drove around for a while not even recognizing where I was at because my mind was so numb. But I knew I would eventually have to go home and confront Bette. How long had this been going on behind my back? Had Bette and Candice enjoyed laughing at me behind my back? I felt like I was the biggest fool in L.A.

 

Pulling into the driveway of the home they had shared for the last 7 years she noticed the lights were all out so it was a good indication that Bette had not make it home from the gallery yet. Quietly closing the front door she preceded to their bedroom closet to remove a couple travel bags as the tears rolled down her cheeks she packed her things. She didn’t know where she was going tonight but she knew she could not stay here. Not after discovering Bette’s dirty little secret!

Candice wanted Bette, fuck she could have her Tina thought…I am done.

 

At first she thought she would confront Bette but the longer she thought about it she decided she didn’t want to hear anymore lies since the last 7 years of her life with Bette had meant nothing to her. She chose to throw it all away for what? Sex, hell up until a few months ago until the miscarriage their sex life had been great. Did Bette see her as such a failure that she wanted to replace her? Apparently so because she had been replaced by a fucking carpenter it no longer mattered to Bette, that Tina had given up every thing to be with her and only her. Shit, she had no family left because she chose Bette years ago.
