The Promise
Nothing can be done against the truth…No matter how we remain in denial
Tina woke with the dull pain of all night love making seeping from her muscles. She reached out to find the spot beside her cold and vacant. She forced her head up and looked at the clock. She had only been sleep half an hour.
::5:07::
She rolled over to see an angel standing in the window, bathing in the soft light that transferred night to day. Bette stood before her wrapped in the afterglow of their love making. Tina watched silently when she saw the tears in her eyes. They were tears of joy that laced the euphoric facial expression she held. Tina became curious as to what had Bettes attention and left her in such a vulnerable state that she rarely let her see.
Coping with despair…
Knowin’ you’re not there…
Ashamed to just admit
I’ve been a fool
Tina: Youre beautiful baby…
Bette smile broadened and she wrapped her arms around herself.
Bette: Then youve never seen real beauty….true beauty
Tina thought about her statement without a conclusion.
Tina: What do you mean by true beauty?
Bette: The beauty you see thats just there… no one had to make it or build it…the beauty that you see when someone doesnt know theyre being watched… when someone thinks they are absolutely alone and no one can possibly see them and they finally let their guard down….I see it when youre sleeping.
Bette turned and smiled at Tina and went back to the window.
Tina: And what I just saw wasnt true beauty?…you thought I was sleeping…
Bette shook her head.
Bette: I havent found my way yet…
Tina: I think you have..what ever youre looking at had you completely undone.
Tina brought her knees in to her chest and rested her chin on them.
Tina: Whats outside thats making you talk like this? Are you watching the sunrise? Is it starting to come up yet?
Bette: No…Im watching her rise from the ashes.
Tina: Who?
Bette: Shane… (She whispered)
Bette heard the sheets thrown back. She leaned back in expectation of Tinas arms wrapping around her. She turned when Tina never arrived beside her, to see the bed empty. She checked the bathroom to see it was empty.
