Tina’s Thoughts…
Do I need to be with Josh to make sure that I love Bette? I know it’s not fair to Bette but it will also not be fair to me. I can’t deny to myself that I am starting to fall for Josh and everyday that I am with him I am starting to fall outof love for Bette.

Tina crawled up to bed, kissed her daughter Angelica and went to sleep.

The Next Day (Sunday)…
Bette was looking at Tina while she was sleeping. And all Bette could think about is how she loved Tina and how she wished that everything that went wrong with their relationship didn’t happen. But she can’t do anything about it. Deep in Bette’s heart she’s still hoping that everything will be okay in the end but now she is faced with the reality that it may be their end.

Tina woke up and she saw Bette looking at her. Bette’s face showed a lot of emotion from love to regret, longing to pain, passion to anger.
Bette: Hey. You worked late again?
Tina: Yeah I did. I saw you and Angelica already sleeping and I don’t want to bother you.
Bette was silent fighting for her tears to fall. She cleared her throat and spoke to Tina.
Bette: She’s been nice all night. She didn’t cry, did she?
Tina: No, she’s out the whole night.
Bette wanted to take the things that she said to Tina yesterday, she wanted to tell her that she needs to stay away from Josh and that they should try again to save their relationship. But before she could open her mouth Tina jump out of the bed and went inside the bathroom.

Bette wanted to follow Tina in the bathroom like they used to be but she can’t do that now. Instead she just waited for Tina to get out.
Once Tina emerged from the bathrroom she kissed Angelica and said good morning to her. Bette watched the affection and love that Tina was giving their daughter and there is nothing that she wanted more for her to receive such attention. Bette blinked away her thoughts, cleared her thorat and talked to Tina.
Bette: Tina..
Tina: Yes?
Bette: What I said yesterday, I didn’t mean it.
Tina: What’s that?
Bette took a deep sigh and answered Tina’s question.
Bette: You and Josh.
Bette decided not to expound her answer because she knows that Tina knows what she’s talking about.
Tina: That.
Bette: Yes, that. I don’t want you to be near him. I know it sounds selfish but I just don’t want you to.. (sigh again) I want you to love me, Tina. I guess that’s what I’m trying to say.
Tina looked down afraid to look at Bette and to see her hurt. Bette waited for Tina to reply, Bette walked towards Tina and Tina looked up to her.
Tina: I’m going with him on Tuesday.
Bette: Fuck..
Tina: It’s work. I told you about the project we’re about to start. Haven’t I?
Bette: You did. I just thought that you don’t want to–
Bette didn’t have to finish her sentence. She knows why Tina is leaving.
Bette: Can you not go?
Tina: I can’t it’s too important.
‘Of course. More important than me.’ Bette thought
Tina: I’ll be back on Thursday.. or Friday depending on how things goes.
Bette didn’t know, in fact she doesn’t want to know what ‘thing’ Tina is talking about. The project thing or the Josh thing.
Bette: Okay.
Tina was about to go to the kitchen when she heard Bette’s voice.
Bette: Tina.. wait…
Bette walked towards Tina and held her amrs.
Bette: Are you sure that’s what you want?
Tina: Bette, it’s only work. I’ve told you already.
Bette: Fuck Tina, you know that’s not true.
Tina didn’t answer, instead she just walked away from Bette.
Bette followed Tina in the kitchen.
Bette: Tina, are we not going to talk about this?
Tina: What’s there to talk about?
Bette: I can’t believe you just said that?
Tina: Said what?
Tina put Angelica on the bed.
Bette: It’s like you don’t even care. How could you even come up with that decision?
Tina: Bette, it’s work. I don’t get why you’re acting so weird about it.
Bette: I’m acting wierd because I know the real reason why you suddenly decided to go to New York.
Tina: And I thought you’re okay with that!
Bette: I was hoping that you’ll make the right decision.
Tina: And what makes you think that I haven’t?
Bette: Because I’m still carrying this hope that you and me–
Bette cut herself.
Bette: I’m sorry. If that’s what you want then I guess I’ll just have to live with that.
Tina walked out of their bedroom.
Bette walks towards the bed, held Angelica in her arms.

Monday…
Tina was getting ready for work while Bette was holding Angelica.
Tina: I might be coming home late, we have to finish everything we need before we leave tomorrow. Okay.
Bette: Okay.
Tina walked towards Bette and gave Angelica a kiss.
Tina: Bye.
Bette: Tina… if you can. Can you go home early.
Tina: Why?
Bette: I just want– just go home early if you can.
Tina: I doubt that. But if I can, I will. Okay? Bye.
