Eric has just pulled up outside Tina’s apartment. Tina sees this through her bay window and smiles to herself. She decides to wait at the door and greet hr boyfriend with a kiss.

‘Hi baby’ ‘Er yeah hi Tina’, Eric walks straight past her and goes into the lounge. ‘Tina I’ve got to tell you something, I’ve been meaning to tell you for a few days actually’ ‘Go on’ Tina urges after Eric remains silent for a few agonizing seconds.

‘Well erm, well um I’m leaving you’ ‘WHAT? Why?’ ‘It’s not working, we’re not going anywhere’ ‘Well thanks for letting me know Eric, when do I get a say in all of this?’ ‘I’m sorry Tina, I think it’s best if I leave now’ ‘Yeah just go’. Eric leaves, Tina watches his car drive away down the street and turn the corner out of view as she breaks down crying.

Once she has composed herself enough, Tina grabs hr phone and dials the number of her best friend Bette. ‘Hello?’ ‘Hey Bette, it’s me, look can you come over’ ‘Yeah why?’ ‘Eric just left me’ ‘Oh my God, yeah I’ll be over soon’ ‘Okay bye’.

Forty-five minutes later Bette knocks on Tina’s door with a pizza and some dvds. Tina opens the door, ‘Hey Bette, what have you got there?’ ‘Supplies for two single girls having a night in’ and with that Bette hand Tina the dvds ‘Pick which you wanna watch first while I fix the food and drinks for us’. Tina looks at the dvds in her hands and laughs at Bette’s taste in films- ‘Spiceworld: the movie, ‘scary movie’ and ‘Bridget Jones: the edge of reason’. Tina picks ‘Spiceworld’ and puts it in the player before joining Bette in the kitchen, who is pouring them a glass of Coca-cola each.

Tina takes the glasses and Bette carries the pizza through, they placed the items on the coffee table in front of the couch. ‘Which did you pick then T?’ ‘Only the best girl band in the world’ laughed Tina. ‘Well I’m glad I have the ability to make you laugh seeing as you were crying just a little while earlier’ ‘I don’t wanna talk about that jerk’ ‘Okay, let’s just enjoy the movie’ and with that they sat back on the sofa with a slice of pizza each. When the film finished, Bette and Tina were laughing so hard they had tears streaming down their faces. ‘My God, I loved the scene with Mr Step, when Victoria walked past everything on the assault course’ ‘Well she WAS wearing heels and a camouflage minidress, ooh what about their chant thingy “strength and courage in a wonderbra” I mean who wrote that?’ ‘Oh I don’t know Bette, but whoever it was they are brilliant’.

Bette looks at the clock on the far wall, ‘wow look at the time, I have got to go cause I’ve got to go into the gallery tomorrow’ ‘Bette do you always work on a Saturday?’ ‘Yeah, it’s something to do ya know’ Bette laughs as she stands up and stretches. Bette looks at Tina and says ‘You gonna be okay?’ ‘Yeah, I’ll be fine, thanks for coming over’ ‘That’s what friends are for’ Tina walks Bette to the door and they hug before Bette turns and leaves.
