I stayed down on the floor until no more tears would come and then I lifted myself up and went to get some things from the bathroom. When I was finished packing I started walking towards the door and just as I was about to put my hand on the door handle the door flew open and Bette came rushing in bumping right into me.

“Tee are you ok?” she exclaimed “I was so worried when you didn’t come to the Planet! What happened?" Bette was rambling.

She looked down and saw the bag in my hand and then looked up to my tearstained face.

“What’s going on Tee?” she asked slowly.

I started sobbing again.

“I’m so sorry Bette”

“Tee what happened?” Bette looked scared.

“I’m so sorry…you don’t deserve this!” I sobbed.

“Sweetie what are you talking about?” she said in a shaky voice.

“You deserve better Bette!”

I started pushing past her but she grabbed my arm keeping me there.

“Where are you going?”

“Bette let me go!” I cried.

“Not until you tell me what the fuck is going on Tee!” she said with tears in her eyes.

I yanked my arm from her hand trying to push past her again. I almost made it out the door before she got a hold of me pushing me up against the wall. Her face was just inches from mine and I could feel her breath on my mouth.

“What happened?” she cried.

“Just let me go Bette, I’m doing this for you!” I yelled at her.

I dropped my bag as she was holding my wrists in her hands. I started squirming trying to get out of her firm grip but she was much stronger than me.

She leaned forward and pressed her lips on mine. I stopped struggling getting lost in the kiss.

It didn’t take me long to realize what was happening. She had loosened the grip on my wrists so I took the opportunity to push her back. Bette stumbled back a few steps with a hurtful look on her face.

I picked my bag up and walked out standing right outside the door. I turned around looking at her as tears rolled down my cheeks.

“I’m sorry”
