“I.. I’m sorry..” tina was now crying

“that you kissed me?”

“No.. that’s not..” tina was cut off

“Then what is it that your sorry? That you’ve avoided me like I’m some kind of a perverted freak when in fact it was you who kissed me first, and then flirting your way to eric this pass few weeks as if nothing happened, throwing to my face how stupid I am to actually believe that there’s something special between us. God tina, I have feelings too you know? I hurt too.” Bette couldn’t stop the tears that are now falling endlessly in her cheeks.

Tina bit her bottom lip, she desperately wanted to kiss those tears away from bette’s cheeks

“I.. I was.. so.. scared bette..

that was my first kiss.. and I thought that it was eric that I wanted to be with, but that kiss was so enchanting and.. it felt so right..” tina softly said

“I’m scared too and that was my first kiss also, but tee.. I don’t know where to stand, I’m so lost.” she said looking down struggling to make herself stop from trembling.

“Here.. you stand here.” Tina said reaching bette’s right hand and place it in her heart “you will always be here. And if you ever get lost, I’ll find you.”

Bette was speechless for a moment, her eyes sparkling with joy then..

“Don’t bother, I have my map, I’ll find my way back.” Bette said.

Tina was not sure if bette was serious or just being sarcastic

The confused look in tina’s face was soo damn cute that bette couldn’t resist from walking toward tina and kiss the blonde’s lips tenderly.

Back at the cafeteria..

Eric was still standing in front of the girls table, confused to what had just happened.

Meanwhile. Shane, dane and alice stared at him, confused why he was still there.

*awkward silence*

“Oh! Oh! I have another one!” dana cheerfully said

“Dane, save it for a rainy day.” Said shane

‘I’ll find my way back.’ Tina thought of the words that bette told her before. She never forgotten those words it keeps coming back every time she felt like giving up those words give her hope.

She glance at her daughter that sit beside her in the car ‘my little bette.’ Even if its impossible to believe, eli seems to begin to look and act like bette more and more with each passing day. She’s grateful for all her friends and marcus, may he rest in peace. They help her to the most difficult time of her life, she has no job when bette was nowhere to be found so marcus presented to offer some financial support until she finds one. And when marcus died five years ago, tina couldn’t deny his request to make eli called him dad he has no one, and wanted someone to remember him.
