“Eric, I am sorry it just happened.  I told you that I wasn’t sure if I was straight and I didn’t like the lables that people defined as your sexuality.  I was always faithful to you, I promise.  I am sorry.”  Tina was so calm and Eric couldn’t believe what was happening.  Eric by reaction turned and slapped Tina.  Tina grabbed her face and started to cry.  Anger swept over her and the next thing she knew she had slapped him back and walked away.  When she had turned around Bette was standing there with a look to kill Eric.  Eric had walked away sulking and Tina was getting her legs back.  Lara and the gang came out and made sure all was calm.

“Baby you alright?  What happened?  Do you want to call the police?”  Tina stood there in tears shaking her head and walked away.

“I need some space.  I am going home.  Can you take me home now please?”  Bette was so upset because Tina wasn’t asking her, but Dana.

“Yea, sure T, lets go.”  Dana took Tina by the shoulders and they left.  Tina looked at Bette with tears in her eyes and kept going.

Bette was so shocked by the whole thing and didn’t know what to think.  Alice came up to her and hugged Bette.

“B, it’s ok.  They just broke up yesterday.  Give her some space and time.”  Bette had tears in her eyes and felt anguish to what she had seen.  Tina was so secure with herself and fought her own battles.  She just couldn’t understand why she could just leave with saying something more.

“Alice what the hell just happened?”  Bette just wanted to know if Tina was ok and not too upset.  She would call later or go by her place?  No she would wait for Tina to make the move for communication.

Tina sat in Dana’s car brooding and trying to control her anger.  What she was thinking was shit why in front of Bette?  He looked so hurt, his eyes told her that he felt betrayed and lied to.  It wasn’t a lie and it just happened.  Tina didn’t know she was going to get on with Bette so easily, it just did.  Why did it have to be that way for Eric to know or find out?  FUCK as she kicked the ground.
