Our Road (the end or the beginning)

Chapter 1

   Bette sat on her couch in her house, the house that she used to call home. It was no longer home to her because Tina was not there. After Tina left Bette realized home was with Tina. It had been three long and rough months since Tina left the night after the opening at the CAC. For Bette getting out of bed had become a challenge. Each day over the first month Tina would come by the house after Bette went to work and remove a little more of her stuff. Bette came home one night and you couldn’t even tell that Tina had ever lived there all that was left was a few pictures of her and Bette.

   This was just one of the reasons Bette hated being there. She always hoped for her and Tina to work things out. She had hope because Tina didn’t return the house keys or her wedding ring. All Bette’s hope came to and end when she came home late one night and found a note from her beloved Tina.

   Bette, Your house key is under the door mat. I no longer feel like this is my home. I have taken everything that I need or want. I will not have to come back here again. There is one more thing under your pillow you will find my wedding ring. I no longer need it. I thought that it was a symbol of our love and the life that we wanted together. I now know that it was a lie. So you can have it back. I hope some day down the road you learn from your mistake. As bad as life got for us at anytime over the last 7 years always know that I loved you. Good Bye Bette, Tina.

   Bette went to her bedroom and found the ring just like Tina had said. Bette began to cry. She cried until she had fell asleep right there on the floor. Bette woke and realized she had slept a whole day away right on her bedroom floor it was now Sunday.

   Bette in the past loved Sundays at home. She and Tina would eat breakfast with the girls at the planet, and then come home and make love for the most part of the day. But she no longer had those wonderful Sundays with Tina. All she could do now is daydream about her life that she once had.
