Seemingly Lost Chptr. 18
“You’re moving to Philadelphia.” she said bitterly.
“Yeah. I need to…” and before she could finish her thought to process the sentence she felt and heard the door slam. She softly closed her eyes on impact and let that burning ball roll past her need to cry out for her. There was no point in reaching for someone who so obviously doesn’t want to be held.
Bette walked out the door of the bedroom and noticed that Tina’s bedroom door was closed, she straightened her back and proceeded towards the stairs. With her bag in hand she somberly walked down the stairs, she saw Tina’s mother standing at the end of the stairs with a Tupperware dish filled with food, she looked so sad.
“Sweetheart I packed a little somethin’ to eat while you’re waiting for your flight, and you make sure you clean your plate.”
“Momma K, you didn’t have to…”
“Nonsense, it’s just a little yams, greens, ham, macaroni and cheese, fried catfish, hush puppies, potato salad, and some peach cobbler on the side. I don’t need you wasting away while you’re in Philadelphia.” she struggled to finish as the thought of Bette living alone in a strange city choked her up. Bette put her bag down and embraced the woman in a hug that was to speak volumes for the years of unspoken love and devotion. “Call me when you settle ok.”
“I will.” Even though both knew the probability of that being near impossible the false promise provided enough security for them to let go without saying what was heavy in the air between them.
They both walked outside and both were a little shocked to see both Kennard men standing out front waiting to say their goodbyes.
“Well Be-Butterfly, I’ll tell the kids you said hey.” he said before sweeping her up into his arms and giving her a tender and sad hug goodbye.
“You be sure to keep some sort of mace or pepper spray with you for at least eight months, you hear me?” Tina’s father said pointing a stern finger at her as he furrowed his brow and waited for the smile that seemed to appear whenever she said her goodbyes to him.

How can Tina let Bette go? Bette didn’t cheat on her. Bette was just loving her and trying to keep her from getting hurt. I feel for Tina,but hurt for Bette. Tina right now is the loser.

This is so heartbreaking. It is not fair to Bette and I hope that Tina realizes that the reason she is so upset with Bette is because she actually is head over heels in love with her.
