    Summary:
    Chapter 3

    “Tina, please…”

    “I know you felt it too. I know you did. The way you looked at me, the way you protected me, the way you always put me first. That wasn’t just friendship, Bette.”

    Bette closed her eyes. “It doesn’t matter what I felt then.”

    “It doesn’t matter? Or it scares you?”

    “Both.” The admission came out quietly, honestly.

    “Why does it scare you?”

    Bette turned from the window. “Because you broke my heart, Tina. Because you chose him over me, and it nearly destroyed me. Because I spent years learning how to live without you, and I’m terrified of going through that again.”

    “I won’t do that again.”

    “You can’t promise that. You can’t promise that you won’t get scared again, or that you won’t decide this is too complicated, or that you won’t choose the easier path.”

    “You’re right,” Tina said, surprising her. “I can’t promise that. But I can promise to try to be brave this time. I can promise to choose you if you’ll let me.”

    “And what about Carson? What about the fact that his entire world just fell apart? What about the fact that he needs stability right now, not his mother starting a new relationship?”

    “Carson loves you already. He’s asked me twice today if you’re going to stay.”

    “That’s not the same thing as his mother dating someone. Especially not someone who…”

    “Who what?”

    Bette hesitated. “Someone who’s a woman.”

    Tina was quiet for a moment. “Are you worried about how he’ll react? Or are you worried about what other people will think?”

    “I’m worried about him. Only him.”

    “Carson doesn’t care about that kind of thing. He cares about whether people are kind to him, whether they make his mom happy. And you do both of those things.”

    “It’s not that simple.”

    “Why not?”

    “Because…” Bette struggled to find the words. “Because I don’t know how to do this, Tina. I don’t know how to trust you again. I don’t know how to trust myself with you again.”

    Tina moved closer, stopping just out of reach. “So we figure it out together. We take it slow, like you said yesterday. We see if there’s still something worth saving.”

    “And if there isn’t? If we try and it doesn’t work? What happens to Carson then? What happens to your relationship with your parents?”

    1. I love Carson and i hate Darren.

      Bette is afraid, hurt and fearful, i hope she will lower the walls around her heart sometime in the future. Tina has to prove she is serieus in both heart and words but the most important thing for now is to get things resolved and i think Helena will be the best to help her.
