When I turn on the front screen of my phone, I notice 14 missed calls from Bette and a text reading. “Tina, we need to talk. Where are you?”

I click delete, erasing all of the missed calls. My mind wonders if Bette is still at Alice’s, I can’t go home but I need somewhere to stay.

A few rings go through and that’s when I hear Alice’s voice sound with worry. “Tina, where are you??”

I take a couple seconds and let out a sigh before I speak. “Is Bette still there?”

“She just left.”

“Can I please come back to your place and stay, I can’t face her tonight not under the same roof.” My voice begins to crack again as I speak my words and with each word spoken my tears fight from falling.

“Of course, Tina.”

“Thanks Alice.” I thank her then hang up the phone.
…

Bette’s P.O.V

I step into the house and close the door behind me, my body stands there then falls back against the door as I slide slowly down.

My head rests on my knees and my hands run through my hair as I begin to cry.

“Baby sis.”

My head quickly pops up with a fright to see my sister looking down at me.

“I let myself in. I’m so sorry Bette.”

My ears hear her but my mind doesn’t.

“Bette, everything is going to be ok.”

“Is it going to be ok?” My mind asked me. The woman who i love has found this out the worse way possible but i have to get her to believe me, i can’t live without her. I tell myself that i will make her understand the truth in all this, she will know how much I love her.

“I know you don’t feel up to talking right now but I’m here for you.” I hear the sadness and concern in my sisters voice but it just seems to go through one ear and out through the other.

We stay here in silence for a few moments before I hear her begin to speak. “Let’s get you to bed, Bette. Tomorrow Tina might be ready to talk.”

“She-“ I speak but I pause trying to gather my next words before I continue. “She looked so hurt and lost tonight..her face told me so.”
