Tina’s head was screaming ‘SORRY’ she couldn’t think of anything else to say that would heal her actions. “Bette…I never wanted to hurt you, I’m sorry I ran away and I’m sorry for who I turned to and who I shared it with. I knew the moment it…we stopped, our friendship would be different. I was scared that I…was just another girl to you and I know you explained your feelings but if you see where I’m coming from” Bette held on to the cushions scared of what this conversation held and to be honest she didn’t see where Tina was coming from.

“I hear all your stories about other woman and it seems you only want what you can’t have. I’m not saying this to hurt you” Tina finally locked eyes with the woman opposite her. “Tina, you mean more to me than that. I wouldn’t jeopardise our friendship if I thought this was just sex” She truly meant it, how could Tina be stupid enough to even think that.

“Isn’t it?” Tina bit her lip; they had danced around Bette’s feelings since she declared them. Bette prepared herself to be completely exposed, “No…It hasn’t been for a long time now” Bette fell silent; she felt more open with every declaration made. “When did you start feeling this way about me” Tina’s words got quieter. “That night when you kissed me I was starting to feel something for you and I’ve been hooked ever since that one little kiss Tee. I’m sorry for not saying anything” Bette held onto the tears that were threatening to fall out the corners of her eyes.

They both froze, it’s done it’s out in the air they both knew. Tina sighed looking over at Bette to catch a glimpse of what was going through her mind; her heart broke when she saw her best friend crying. “I’m sorry” Bette mumbled again she couldn’t apologise enough. She never wanted this to go so terribly wrong. Watching Bette cry over the feelings she’d been fighting made her eyes water, she couldn’t help the emotions she was experience towards her best friend. Tina knew it must have been hard for Bette to watch her be with someone else when she wanted to be with her.
