Tina: Your son is a sweet boy, you know…

Bette smiled

Bette: Thank you. He is my pride and joy.

Bette sat next to Tina. Fabian walked out of his room.

Fabian: Mom, I’m off to Douglas, I’ll be back at 12AM, okay?

Bette: Okay, sweetheart.

Fabian: Bye.

Bette/ Tina/ Patricia: Bye.

Fabian walked out and closed the door.

Bette: It’s about 11PM. What would you two like to do?

Patricia rubbed her eyes.

Patricia: I’m tired, Bette. Can I sleep a little?

Bette looked at Tina who nodded.

Bette: Sure, girl. Maybe you could go lay in my bed. Is that okay?

Patricia: Okay.

Patricia hugged her Mommy once again and walked to Bette’s room. Tina sighed.

Tina: I’m tired to.

Bette: Then rest a little.

Tina smiled. Bette opened her arms and Tina moved closer and laid her head on Bette’s shoulder.

Bette: Do you want to tell me the full story? I heard talking about it helps.

Tina looked down.

Tina: You will think I’m dirty.

Bette kissed Tina on top of her head.

Bette: I will never think you are dirty, Tina. You didn’t make him do that stuff to you.

Tina: It was awful…

Bette: I know, sweetie. I know…

Bette pulled Tina even closer.

Tina: I came home after our meeting. Eric and I made some small talk but then he tried to hug me and I shook him of. He said I was distant and that I didn’t love him. He would make me love him. I didn’t really know what he meant until he pulled me of the couch and dragged me to the bedroom…

Tears where running down her cheeks.

Tina: He throwed me on the bed. He said he would let me regret that I ever cheated on him because he knew… He also told me I didn’t need a filthy dyke. He took robes and tied me to the bed. He also put something in my mouth… He ripped my clothes of, he slapped me in the face and he… you know… He kept going for hours and when he couldn’t physically do it anymore he used other stuff to put into me. It hurt so much Bette… It was just too much…

Tina was sobbing and Bette felt so bad for her…
