Gemma and Bette boded the plane at 3.30pm, Bette tried to make Gemma relax by giving her a Large Whisky before they got on the plane but Gemma explained that she once got drunk while at a Christmas Party and hadnt touched the stuff since.

They took they seat Gemma sat on the isle seat as Bette joined sat near the window, since a child Bette had always sat by the window, they was just one thing missing her Tina, the plane took off and Gemma gripped the edge of her seat, Gemma was now wearing a Baseball cap, she explained to Bette that this was her comfort blanket, Bette thought how she could make Gemma relax when she came to the conclusion the only way was too talk to Gemma, so thats exactly what she intended to do.

So Gemma lets just talk about anything you want?
Gemma stroked the top of her Baseball cap she didnt care what about but she was intrigued why Bette and Tina had separated and she wanted to know form Bettes perspective what went wrong from Bettes point of view
Ok what made you cheat on Tina, I mean why are you crazy?
Things happen
Bullshit Bette get my mind off this flight and tell me what went wrong

Ok well I got scared you see I never wanted Kids, and then I met Tina and she was amazing she lit up an entire room with just a smile, she made me feel alive, I mean I screwed people before and enjoyed every minute of that me, but when I met Tina well she changed me, I found myself wanting to know where she was, what she ate for Breakfast and Lunch, I craved her more than any person I have ever known, she made me want to spend the rest of my life with somebody else, I enjoyed being me around other people when she was around you ever felt that?
Gemma was watching Bette and knew that every word was said with real emotion Gemma took out a notepad and pen
Dont worry Bette sometimes t helps me to relax by writing ok so just keep talking ok?

You know what Gemma, I dont know why the ***** I screwed up, She was just there and I couldnt say no, and she wouldnt back off no matter how hard I tried I couldnt say no, and that is what upsets me the most, because you know what as soon as I had made the mistake and I know Tina knew, I know how much I loved Tee, she was my heart and when I took it out to lose my mind, with the first woman who showed interest, I guess I lost it

I know you did, do you know what its like for the person you love and trust the most cheats on you Bette, because when that person lets you down, you take your her heart with you, even though you hurt them so intensely, they cant just stop loving you, to stop Loving someone it takes time, it doesnt just go away because the person you love has cheated on you

I know Gemma, and thats what hurt the most, I just got lost and I did the thing I was most good at as a person, I shut my emotions down, and slept with her and thats what I still to this day hate the most about myself, I find it so easy to talk to you and I dont know why

Maybe Bette, its because Im you, maybe you see you in me, because I know I see you in me, see when you didnt know where to turn you did what you thought was the easy option, you shut your love down for Tina, now me I travelled over oceans to leave my fears behind, thats why I get so scared on Flights, if you hadnt have come today I wouldnt have got on this flight do you know that?

Really you left all your problems and came all the way to America to escape your problems?

Yep really you see, if Tina was like me then she would have travelled to England maybe just to escape the pain that you caused her, but Tinas love well thats a different story because its the strongest I have ever seen anybody show for one person, Tinas entire soul cries your name when its not near you Bette

You have stopped shaking Gemma, thats a positive?

I stopped worrying about me Bette, you see when I get off that plane I will see, My family who I never said goodbye too, and a Daughter I have never met my biological Daughter, and she will never call me Mummy

So Scout is your Biological Daughter?

Yeah we wanted Scout to look like me, so we used one of my eggs, and Pollys brother donated the sperm we knew then that it would be our baby, only Polly had other ideas

What happened with you and Polly?

Well Simple really, I was always at work, you know mixing with the music industry and getting to know the nest big artist, Bette music is my life much like art is yours, Polly never got that and somewhere along the way I lost track of Time, and Polly found someone who took interest in her, her hobbies and she left me

Why didnt you take custody of Scout?

Polly carried Scout for 9 months and I knew that as long as she had Scout, then in some stupid way I had Polly, you know when I phone I still go to say I love you, and then I remember and my heart gets ripped out again and again

What did you write Gemma?
Bette asked looking at the note pad, she hoped Gemma would show her, she wished she had met Gemma six months ago because she knew that Gemma would have spotted the signs of her down fall and set her straight, Bette never opened up to anyone other than Tina, Tina was her best Friend as well as her lover Bettes soul mate her one identity that she never wished to be parted from, and as long as she lived she would never ever hurt Tina again.

Gemma passed Bette the note pad and Bette began to read

With what was meant to be it was taken from me
what was needed for me to breath
Walked out at nearly Dawn
And I didnt wake until early morn
I searched but you was gone
What was I to do where was I too run?

What was mine had now run a mile
I searched the walls and floors to see your smile
And with each breath I tried to motion out of my soul
All I felt was an empty hole and I knew
From this day on I’d be searching for you all that I knew was true

Love and Hate
Corruption is late
Feeling all mixed up
Wonder why I did it this day
Making our life a Runaway
And the brains will turn all day long
This Time yesterday our life was a really strong

Ok maybe I did this thing wrong
But who was to know it could all go wrong
I now find myself listening to the same old song
Wondering when your heart may belong

I need you more than the tree that bears my soul
You the world I knew yesterday the one who I need and caress
Wish I was there like I was before just let me re open that door

Bette gave the note pad back to Gemma a single tear ran down Bettes face she knew that reading between the lines, Gemma knew that she had captured what her heart was crying out when Tina walked away, Bette never knew how to express her emotion, but she knew that learning was just the start, Bette never needed a best friend other that Tina, but she wanted Gemma to be a friend she had never had, she knew that they could learn from each other, and she couldnt wait to meet Gemmas family.

Thats good Gemma I now know what Alice is going on about, are you ok

Yeah thanks Bette
Gemma had one earphone in her ear she indicated for Bette to listen, and Bette listened to the words

And so it is just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love no glory
No hero in her skys
I cant take my eyes off of you
I cant take my eyes of you
The colder water
The Blowers daughter

She knew that Gemma was telling her to listen; she knew that the words was how Tina felt when they parted, and tears formed and ran down the smooth complexion of Bettes cheek, she never knew how much the power of song could mean to a situation, she craved Tina more in that moment, she wanted to experience the things she was feeling with Tina, she wanted to taste her and just to lay by her side and watch her sleep, she wanted to kiss the little bit of her face which she hadnt kissed yet, she went into her hand bag and pulled out her purse and looked inside, the photo of her and Tina was still there she had never taken it out, she went to her neck and felt for her necklace, she searched for the Ring Tinas ring, Bette had worn that ring around her neck since the day Tina had walked away from her life, because unlike Gemma she needed to keep a part of Tina next to her heart, Gemma had left her heart with Polly, and she was now going to collect it with her, Gemmas heart was Scout, Bette pulled out the ultra sound and stroked the photo, Bette loved this baby and she loved it even the more because it was part of Tina.
