I know it sounds ironic; effectively I am the one who started the circle when I decided to let another woman in our lives. I hurt her, I admit it. I’ve always admitted it and I tried to deal with the consequences. I’ve never, in any kind of way, defended myself. I was the bad guy and I was paying for my behavior. I also let her take full charge of the situation and let her decide when to come back. Then she did come back… but apparently she did it just physically. I don’t know if she’s doing it just for punishing me, but I surely know it is killing me. I would never – ever be able to take someone in our home and act like the eight years together never happened. She’s doing just this; Tina is throwing it all right in my face and it seems like she’s enjoying it. It’s like her heart completely shut out and erased every bit of me left in it.
I pull into the driveway and I exhale noticing that he’s, at last, gone. Her car is here so she’s staying at the house since she didn’t talk about the ‘living-together-thing’ with her boyfriend, yet. Yes, I didn’t have the courage to tell her to go away. Call me crazy all you want but I still love her and I didn’t want to let her sleep on a cold couch or in a hotel room. On the other hand there’s Angelica; I am sure as hell that she was going to take her with her and I wasn’t ready to be completely alone. I shut off the engine and slowly approach the front door. I am scared of entering my own house. My hands are trembling and I almost drop the keys, but I finally manage to reach the lock and open it. The house is dark; I don’t even know what time it is. I take a look at my watch and it shows it’s something after 11. Jesus, I had no idea I’ve been driving for hours. I’m startled when I hear a noise coming from the living room…
“Where were you?” she asks me, she doesn’t sound concerned or anything like that. It must be a habit. After eight years together, I guess you can’t let go of common things like these.

Wow you wrote such a wonderful and beautiful story here. It is in a very sad way though. I would very like to see more of it. Please post more.
I’m glad you liked it. As I already said, I was thinking(and I’m pretty sure I will) about writing a sequel, but I’m working on something else at the moment.
I won’t forget about this one, though. Thank you!
Painful, beautiful just totally amazing writing. You have the talent to make us feel Bette’s anguish through your extraordinary writing. It requires a sequel.
Your words just made my day. My intent it’s to let you all feel the emotions of the characters and I’m happy I managed to do just that. Thank you, a lot!
hey, dear! So, you do not you write it to the end of this story for that: “to be continued.” This was one of my favorites, what you wrote, and I was hoping it turns out that was Bette hallucinating or was the reality she saw?
but I understand you.
as I was once told, this is amazing story, with its painful way.
please continue soon :-)
It was so painful to read, how ever you did write it so good. I could really feel the pain Bette is feeling.
I hope you will write the sequel.
Call it weird, but i read this one more than once, before i decided to leave a comment.
I know somebody who wanted to commit suïcide, so for me it’s hard to read.
But like i already said, it’s beautiful written.
Just read this again and it’s still so painful, but written so very well. Please don’t let this be the end of Bette….write a sequel. :)
I always felt that was Bette problem, she love Tina more than she love herself and that’s not good. Tina treated bette horribly even though she cheated on her but with everything Tina did nobody deserves that kind of pain especially if that person is already broken…smh so sad
