Drowning – 29
Julia stroked Tina’s back in, trying to sooth her, “It’s ok, sweetie, just let it out. You don’t need to think now, just let it out.”
“Not think?” Tina said, sitting up wiping her eyes, “Not think, I wish it was that simple Jules. You know better than anyone, I have spent the last five years trying to avoid thinking about this and just ignoring it. And here it is, front and center. All those emotions I had tried to hard to lock away just came screaming out of me.” She looked at Chris with a look that more defeated than anything else, “It took me how many years last time to get myself back in check, to be me again, how long do you think this time?”
“I’m sorry, Chris. So then talk to me.”
“Do you want the long version or short version?”
“I want whatever you’re ready to tell me.”
“OK, short version it is.” Tina put her head back on Julia’s shoulder. “Well, after all of these years apart, after all of the pain that caused our end, we still love each other. There is still that connection which just didn’t dissipate through the distance.”
Julia swallowed hard, preparing to hear what she just wasn’t ready to hear, no matter how much she prepared herself.
“We spoke about it, all of it. It was surprising really. Bette was never really the communicative type. She wasn’t able to express pain or anything that showed she didn’t have it all under control. She’s changed a lot. It was nice to see. She’s grown. I’m proud of her actually, as strange as that sounds. But anyway, we spoke about all of that. We spoke about the affair, we spoke about the baby.”
Tina’s voice trailed off. She nestled her head further into Julia’s shoulder as she cried. In all the years they have known each other and spoke of the things in Tina’s past that she was trying to come to terms with, the baby was only mentioned once. Tina still couldn’t talk about it. All she said was that the miscarriage was her fault, she let the stress of the relationship get to her, so she destroyed the life she created. This cycle of pain she has been in for so many years was so wrapped in guilt, both self imposed and thrown at Bette over the loss of the baby. The affair was just the proverbial straw. Julia was surprised that Tina and Bette had spoken of it, even more surprised that she was talking about it again. Julia was finally hoping that maybe she could finally start to heal.
