Bette opened the door slowly and stuck her head in. “I just wanted to see if you were ok.”

“I will be.”

“If you need me I’ll be living room,” Bette said as she started to close the door.

“Bette wait.” She stopped and turned her head back to Tina.

“Can you stay with me?”

Bette smiled. She closed the door and got in bed with Tina.  Tina moved closer to Bette and held her tightly. “Bette, I know I’ve been a real ***** today. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. My mind is telling me all these ridiculous things, but it’s my heart that’s speaking the truth. Please don’t hate me and my stupidity”

Bette pushed one of Tina’s stray golden locks behind her ear. “I could never hate you. I love you.”

“I love you too.” Tina kissed Bette’s awaiting lips. “I know we still have a lot to talk about but right now I have other things to deal with. Do you think you could come back home with me for 2 days?”

“Wherever you are is where I’ll be.”

Tina started to cry on hearing those words. She couldn’t understand why she doubted Bette and trusted Helena, but now on top of that she had to deal with the pain from loosing the man who was her rock growing up.  Now Bette was her rock, and she was hoping that maybe something good would come out of this tragedy.

After staying molded together for an hour Bette saw that it was getting close to 5:00, and if they had intentions of getting to North Carolina by morning they’d need to catch a plane tonight. “I’m going to go book our flight,” she said as she slipped out of Tina’s grip.

Bette went over to Tina’s computer and booked the latest flight of the night. They’d be taking off at 10:55, which meant they’d be getting there at just about 9:00am. Bette took this opportunity of privacy to make a few phone calls. She called James to inform him that she wouldn’t be at work, but didn’t tell him why because she didn’t want Helena to find out and show up somehow. She called Kit and Alice to tell them the sad news; both sent their condolences.  Once Bette was done she went back in to the bedroom and saw Tina throwing clothes on the bed.
