Why?Bette asked, reading over the pages. What is the significance of this?

Well, see were going to show Tina how much you lover her.

But this is insane, I cant do this! Bette laughed.

You can do anything you put your mind to. She tapped her head. Plus I can help you, maybe Drew can help you out. Karli certainly can. But no telling Tina.

I dont like keeping secrets from her, Bette shook her head.

So youve told her everything about you in the whole entire world? Galla asked, smirking as she watched Bette reluctantly shake her head. Well, see Bette, itd make you two so much stronger if you opened up to her. Cry if you need to. I know youve got a lot of pain in there, A finger pressed gently onto Bettes chest, over her heart, And thats whats holding you back. Release it.

Okay.Bette said quietly, climbing off the couch. Thanks, Im going to go finish this bit of work and Ill talk to Drew. Thanks for the help.

No problem. Come see me this week, whenever you can. Well work out your little surprise. Ms. Galla smiled and raised her hand in a small wave as Bette exited the office.

With a raspy inhaled breath, Bette found the stage. She wandered through the spotlight over to Drew and Tina who were now sitting side by side, reading their lines to one another. Bette smiled shyly as she cut in, Hey guys.

Hey baby. Drew smiled, Where have you been?

Discussing a few props with Galla in her office. She lied, smiling at Tina. Howre your lines coming?

Weve got basically everything down. Tina said simply, nodding. Her eyes met Bettes and the familiar chill descended her spine. Ive gotta be heading home though, Dana is coming to get me in like 5 minutes. Ill see you both tomorrow! She winked at Bette and disappeared backstage.

Drew stood to head to the changing rooms, and Bette followed. She spoke quietly, mumbling the words that she needed to say.

What? Drew asked, arching a brow.

I said we need to talk, Bette smiled and glanced around momentarily.

Okay let me get changed. He nodded towards the dressing rooms. Ill be out in fiv-

No, now. She interrupted. I need to talk to you now.

Is something wrong? He asked, gently taking her hand.

Im in love. She offered a weak smile.

I know baby, and its okay to love.

So ignorant. she decided, before opening her mouth again. Uhm, Andrew. Its not with you.
