Thanks for the ride, said Bette without turning back to look at Alex. Wait! Your car keys! shouted Alex. Bette turned around and held out her hand. Alex walked towards her and placed the keys on her hand. Bette turned back around and opened the door. She walked in to the house and shut the door, leaving Alex standing on the porch. She was wondering whether it is safe to leave Bette alone by herself. Then again, Bette should be alone, for now. Then Alex remembered she had to get back to Tinas apartment for her bike. Alex cursed to herself.

BETTE
This has to be the worst day in my life. I thought the day Tina left was the worst but this tops it. Why didnt she tell me? Technically, its my baby too. Doesnt she want me to be in the babys life too? How can she be so selfish? I cant deal with this now. Its justjust too much for me.

Is it wrong for me to leave Alice like that? I cant deal with this now. Im so confuse. I cant deny that I have feelings for her too, strong feelings but what about Tonya? I cant just break up with her like that. She has been there for me ever since Mr. Piddles died. But it is quite mind boggling that Mr. Piddles died just like that ever since Tonya moved in. Im not saying that Tonya had to do anything with it but Alice kept insisting that it was Tonya who killed Mr. Piddles. Oh that Alice always had to find fault with someone. But come to think of it, shes the one who has always been there for me since day 1. Shes the one who was always there when I was coming to terms with my sexuality. How she was always there to remind me not to be ashamed of who I am. She was the one who helped me came out to my parents. Although sometimes she can be quite annoying but shes there for me all the time. Come to think of it, I think I love her. Yes! Yes I do! I love her! And I dont love Tonya!

SHANE
Where the ***** is she? Come on Bette open the ***** the door. I have been standing here for a few minutes already. Then, the sound of locks unlatching could be heard from the other side of the door. There she is looking like *****. May I come in? I asked her. She just let the door open and walked back inside. The house looks normal. Everythings in place. I closed the door behind me and sat myself down beside Bette on the couch. Can I have one? I asked pointing to the beer on the table. Help yourself, she said. So what brings you here? asked Bette. I look at her. Cant a friend visit a good friend of hers? Bette smiled. So how have you been? Bette shrugged. Just found out a few days ago that Tina doesnt want me to be in her life or the babys life. Oh, was all I could say. Bette looked at me. She put down the bottle of beer on the coffee table and said, You knew about the baby? You guys knew about her being pregnant? I looked at her. Im sorry. We promised not to tell. Bette got up from the couch and said angrily, ***** Shane! Am I not your friend?! I thought youd said before that we are like family! How can you not tell me?! Dont you want me and Tina to get back together?! I was dumbfounded. I dont know what to say. She sighed loudly and sat back down on the couch. *****! cursed Bette. You guys must really hate me. Im quite shocked at Bettes sudden respond. No! No, no, no. We would never hate you. I could never hate you. Its just that I couldnt believe that you would do such a thing. I thought you and Tina were solid. You know, all this ***** has taken its toll on me. I cant believe that it had actually happened. It is so wrong for two people who had been together for so long and meant to be together for the rest of their lives not be together. Bette looked at me with sadness in her eyes. She finishes the whole bottle and said, Well, youve got to accept it.
