"Is that right?!" Justine challenged throwing off her sunglasses to reveal her red and absent eyes.

"Yes. Jus I was always there to support you, I was the one who built that house into a home for us. At one point in time I thought we were really there…"

"You could’ve fooled me."Justine snarled back with a more relaxed attitude, "Could you have ignored your feelings for Bette forever? Would you have been happy living with me, knowing that my cousin was who you really wanted? Huh?! Because despite what you think Tina, I could always see her in your eyes, I was just in the way!"

"Does that make it all feel justified? What you did to me, to us? Everything we’ve been through together was all for nothing?" Tina asked and searched Justine’s face for some answers to her questions, "Do not make me out to be the bad one here, I will give you that i had feelings for Bette, ok i’ll give you that. But I was willing to try, to try and give us the shot we worked so hard to get. But you didn’t see me. You were to busy fucking other women and conspiring to keep it covered up to notice the things I sacrificed to make us work. Your cavalier attitude towards our entire relationship was the beginning of the end. In the end you showed more loyalty to your partners and clients than you ever did to me. You never even bothered to look for me the whole time I was there! You gave up on us long before Bette even became a factor." Tina said in a heated voice laced with emotion, "I don’t want to do this Jus." she said softly with her eye closed.

"Me neither, T. But I don’t want to lose my home either."

Tina scoffed "Your unbelievable, we’re going through all of this because you don’t want to deal with the hassles of moving?" Tina said in disbelief.

"T, it’s not like that…" Justine again tried to make Tina see reason.

"I don’t want anything to do with you Jus, and to know that you’ll be in my home is entirely to much for me to deal with. The thought of you sharing that house with other women, makes me sick. I don’t want to know if you’ve ever taken any of them in our bed." Tina said with her teeth clenched trying not to let her emotions get the best of her. Justine just looked away knowing that she’d already violated that last barrier of the relationship long before Tina even knew. Tina saw that glint of guilt flash past Justine’s face as she realized that she had indeed cheated in their home. Tina laughed sardonically and said, "I want to be free from you. I don’t want anything else to do with you. You’ll have your money by the end of the week, my attorney will drop it off. If there is anything else speak with her." Tina rose and put on her shades leaving Justine sitting at the table, walking through the myriad of tables from the outdoor patio, she felt like tears were beginning to sting her eyes.
