Short Story

It was late at night as Tina sat on alone in the bedroom waiting for Bette to come in. She had so many questions running through her mind. It had been three months since Tina had lost their baby boy, it still hurt to think about not only had she lost her son, she’d also lost her wife. Bette had grown distant as if avoiding Tina would block out the pain and the hurt, she desperately wanted to take Bette into her arms and tell her everything was going to be okay but Bette always refused her touch or her kind words now it was all making sense I’m such an idiot Tina thought.. Her mind went back to the questions plaguing her mind. “Bette’s cheating on me  and how long as it been going on?” Her heart ached at the thought, the one person she felt truly connected to had betrayed her. Tina’s sadness finally give way to anger as she got up from the bed and rushed into kitchen where Bette was drinking a glass of water.

“You fucking, BITCH” she screamed in a fit of anger. Bette choked on the water she was drinking causing it to spill down the front of her shirt. It was

“What the hell are you talking about” Bette managed out wiping her mouth and her shirt while avoiding Tina’s eyes, she knew if Tina saw her eyes she would also s the truth.

“You know what I’m talking about” Tina yelled back.

“NO, I don’t” Bette yelled, her voice ricocheted off the walls of their house.

“Yeah you do” Tina yelled back just as loudly “I’m not fucking stupid like the whore you’re fucking behind my back” her anger rising.

Bette felt her blood boiling as it rushed through her body “How dare you” she screamed into Tina’s face “I will not stand here and have you accuse of this”

“Would you rather sit then” Tina countered “Or would you rather sit on that BITCH’S face”

That did it to Bette as she roughly pushed Tina out of her way, this action angered Tina even more she was sick and tired of Bette treating her like an animal so she pushed Bette back, as she tried to walk pass Tina signaling the conversation was over.
