The tears ran down her cheeks her beautiful, kind hearted Tina was gone. “Tina” Bette whispered “I’m so sorry, Tee” she covered her face with her hands.

Alice noticed the trance Bette was in and walked over to her “Where have been” she asked tearfully “Tina needed you……” She broke down.

Those words pierced Bette’s heart “Tina needed me and I betrayed her” Tina was all alone while I was Bette couldn’t finished the thought as Kit grabbed her.

“Tina was right, wasn’t she” Kit shook Bette

Bette just nodded, her mind was elsewhere thoughts of Tina dying all alone. She saw as Kit’s hand swung at her face, the sharp pain made Bette winced but it wasn’t enough to get her out of her trance like state.

“How could you, Bette” Kit yelled Hitting Bette again who was still in a trance “Say something damn it” Kit wailed “You broke her heart, you killed her”

“No” Bette finally said “Nooooo…. Tee”

The rest of the gang approached Bette and Kit after seeing the exchange.

“What’s going on” Shane asked her face tear streaked her heart breaking for Bette even though she too was pissed at the brunette for not being there for Tina.

“Why don’t you tell them where you were, Bette” Kit spat out Bette’s name like a bad taste in her mouth.

But Bette had returned to her trance unaware of what was going on her around her.

“While Tina was dying Bette was out fucking her whore” This made everyone grasped Bette finally made eye contact with her friends “I’m sorry” She said.

“What” everyone screamed at Bette. She felt like first grade shit as they all turned their backs on her. Bette let the tears flow freely she didn’t deserve to grieve for Tina.

She was pulled from her thoughts by the door off to her right opening, two men wheeled out a stretcher with a body on it only the feet were visible from under the sheet.

TINA! Bette ran over pulling back the sheet revealing Tina’s pale face which had a few cuts and bruise. That’s when it her full in her face, her Tina was gone the pain was so unbearable Bette thought she would die never more will she wake up to the beautiful face of her wife the love of her life who she had taken for granted “Tee” She whispered as ran her fingertips along her bruised face yet lovely face “So beautiful, I’m so sorry, Tee …. Please forgive me …… I always thought you’d be there for me I’m so sorry…..I..I love you” Bette cried her heart breaking with every second that ticked. Her tears fell on Tina’s face that’s when Bette noticed the tear streaks also on Tina’s face she tried to wipe them away but she knew it was too late.
