Before the Fall – Nine
Why had she been conflicted? Because she had been dating Tina at the time? Had she actually cheated on Tina with Helena? Led Helena on so much that it had driven the woman to New York?
It didn’t seem unlikely with what she was slowly learning about herself. She could see how something like that might have happened.
“How did you know I was in love with her? Did I say that? I mean was it blatant? Was I conflicted while I was with Tina? Did I love Tina too?”
“Sure you loved Tina. Who wouldn’t? But I don’t think you were in love with her. I just think you were really comfortable with her and stayed because it was easier,” Jenny said sincerely.
“Shane what do you think?” Bette asked turning to Shane.
“I think that telling you this won’t help you.”
“How can it not? I mean I’m in the dark here, Shane! I don’t know what’s going on. You all have lied to me and I’m floundering. I don’t know what to think. What to make of all of this. I want the truth.”
“You can’t handle the truth,” Jenny said with a laugh.
Bette glanced uncomprehending at Jenny for a moment.
“A Few Good Men. Jack. You don’t remember? Anyway, I know I came into the group a little late, but even I could see all the fucking unresolved sexual drama between you and Helena. Hell, even Tina could see it. That’s why she didn’t like you seeing Helena, because you were in love with her.”
“And Tina still stayed? Knowing that?”
“Bette…I know this is confusing and I’m sure it’s not making you feel too good about yourself, but things were complicated. You aren’t–weren’t–too big on emotions. You were a workaholic. You wanted success and you didn’t want romantic attachments. Tina you loved. You did. But you couldn’t let go of Helena and whatever you two had. You’ve got a lot of hang-ups,” Shane said looking pained to even be talking about this to her.
“Apparently,” Bette muttered. “So I was in love with Helena, but dating Tina. And while I was dating Tina I was probably stringing Helena along. And I didn’t seem to give a damn who I hurt along the way.”
