“Tina is not dirty” Shane remarked and this was Alice’s turn to roll her eyes, Tina just laughed

“I’m over my doubts about whether I want to be with Bette or not… I was afraid of losing the independency I had when I was doing the social work and that’s why I was so harsh with her when Helena offered me the job.. I was wrong, Bette said she would support me and I fucked up!” Tina whipped her tears and continued “I may like men too but maybe it’s because I’m not over the fact Bette cheated on me but if I was gay I liked women!” Tina was beyond frustration; she put her face between her hands and started sobbing again, Alice put her hand on Tina’s shoulder and Shane was the first one to talk

“You must tell Bette, let her know you want to be with her”

“It’s not the same Tina but Shane is right, talk to Bette”

“I won’t tell her a thing, we must get along for our daughter.. Bette will have to notice my efforts and how I feel for her”

After their lunch Alice joined Tina on her way back to the studio, she wanted to talk to Helena, it had been a long time since they last talked.

“I thought you had forgotten about me Alice” Helena said as she hugged Alice

“Well, I’ve been busy you know?”

“Tina told me you’ve been taking care of your ex” Helena couldn’t hide her amusement

“She’s my friend!” Alice replied quickly “Anyway, I needed to talk to you about her…. For some weird reason you used to give me good advices and you’ve helped Tina…”

“We all have my dear, she opened up to all of us and realized her feelings for Bette and blah blah blah”

“The icy bitch inside you wants to come out to the surface again”  

Helena laughed “I didn’t want to be mean but that topic has become boring, Tina must love Bette too much to put up her crap”

“You’re gay Helena, how would you feel….” Alice stopped “Never mind…. Let’s talk about me”

“What about you Alice?” Helena seemed truly concerned

“Dana told me she loved me and it’s me who she wanted to be with”
