I Fall Behind pt.25
”Um, I don’t know.”
Alice put on her serious face and folded Tina’s
hands under hers. “Tina,” she spoke gravely, “Bette’s in love with you.
I’ve seen her in love and I’ve seen her out of it. This is love, for
sure.”
”Oh no, she’s never said anything like that.” Tina
tried to play it off but she was secretly thrilled. Her happiness was
still tempered by her earlier thoughts.
”I know Bette. She’ll never know anything unless
it’s in one of her books or playing in a documentary. If she ever
figures it out on her own, it would’ve taken years. I’m not kidding.”
”Years?”
Alice looked closely at Tina, suddenly concerned for
Bette. “You’re not playing with her are you, Tina? You’re not going to
make her fall for you then leave, are you? Coz if you are, God help me,
I’ll tell Kit.”
Tina looked at Alice’s dead-serious expression, then
at Shane’s equally challenging look, and sighed. Okay, time to come
clean.
”Guys, I’m in love with Bette too. For a long time now, I’ve loved her… except now I’m not so sure.”
”Oh my God!” Alice burst out, “Are you one of those
***** who’s only interested in getting someone into bed? And once
you’ve had her, you’re dropping her??”
”No, no! It’s not that!” Tina clarified. “I feel the
same way for her as I’ve always felt. Only now, I’m finding out what
that exactly is. See, I’ve always taken care of other people. Always,
I’ve been there to make people better. And when I saw Bette so many
years ago, she reminded me of someone… equally lost and hiding… and
she drew me. She captured me and compelled me… but why? Is it because
I genuinely love her or is it because I need to take care of someone…
to feel better about myself?”
”Tina, that’s heavy stuff.” Shane commented.
”Heavy, yes. Interesting, no doubt.” Alice was looking at Tina intently. “But it’s neither here nor there.”
”What?” Tina turned her eyes sharply at Alice.
”Does it matter why you love her? Does it matter why
you want to be with her? Why can’t you just… do. Love her and want to
be with her. Who’s it gonna hurt? If you leave her, she’s going to be
devastated. She’s not going through that again.” While Alice spoke, her
fist clenched in her lap, determined to protect her friend from
potential future pain.
