Bette’s House…

Bette apologized to her friends about their dinner plans being ruined. Her friends understood and told her if she needed anything to call them. Bette needed to be by herself. Alice, Kit and Shane walked back to Alice’s car and got in.

Kit: I’m really worried about her.

Alice: Yeah, it’s really not like Bette to break down in front of others TWICE in one day.

Shane: This whole thing is really fucked up.

They pulled out of Bette’s driveway.

Bette sat down on the couch with her head in her hands. She felt almost every emotion one could possibly feel; sadness, regret, but most of all; anger. She knew that Tina was with someone else, but now; there was no chance them.

I fucked up…and now I’ve lost her…both of them…

She grabbed the nearest thing to her which was her cell phone and threw it at the large mirror she had on her wall.

Tina’s Apartment…

Angelica had fallen asleep in the cab. She managed to get her in her crib without waking her. She went into the kitchen for a bottle of water from the fridge. She felt bad about leaving Henry like that, but she couldn’t believe that he asked her to marry him. Was he that oblivious? He may have been happy with the way things were, but she wasn’t. Her thoughts were interrupted by her cell phone ringing.

She read ‘Henry Cell’ on her caller ID. She took a deep breath and answered the phone.

Tina: Hello?

Henry: What the fuck happened?

Tina: Excuse me?

Henry had never used such a tone with her before…then again she never refused his marriage proposal either.

Henry: You walked out on me AND my parents and refused my marriage proposal! You fucking embarrassed me in front of them! I thought this was what you wanted?!

Tina: Whoa! What?

Henry: You said that you wanted to start a family with me, inst that why you didn’t go through with that adoption with Bette?

Tina: First of all, I said I was THINKING about it, but really at the point I was so furious with Bette, I just blurted that out. I’m sorry Henry.

Henry: Great! That’s just fucking great!

Tina: Look, I have been putting this off for too long now. I don’t think this is going to work out, you and me.

Henry hung up his cell phone.

Tina: Henry…Henry?! Shit!

Tina flipped her phone shut and flopped on her couch. She let out a big sigh. That wasn’t the way she wanted to do it, but she was relieved that she finally told Henry that things weren’t working out between them. She had one more thing to do while she had the nerve. She opened her cell phone and went into her contacts. She scrolled down until she found ‘Bette Cell’. She called and got her voicemail. She Scrolled down one to ‘Bette Home’ and got the machine. She left her message and hung up. Tina was exhausted from all that happed that day and quickly fell asleep on the couch.

Bette’s House…

Bette walked out of her bedroom wearing her bathrobe. She thought she heard the phone ringing so she went to check her messages. She saw the red light blinking on the machine and pressed play.

Machine: You have one new message…

Tina: Bette…its Tina…

TBC…
