Chapter 12 Previously Tess : can’t you just try ? Bette please...? I love you ! Bette : I know you do and that makes me feel so guilty. I’m sorry Tess I never wanted to hurt you... Tess : but why did you get involved with me than? Was I just sex to you again? Is that it? Bette : no Tess you weren’t. When we got together I really thought I had feelings for you. I liked you, I liked being around you, I liked the way you made me feel but I realized I wasn’t in love with you and I wasn’t fair to you. I’m sorry I really am. Tess (crying) : I am too. I guess this is it than ? Bette : yes I guess so. Don’t cry Tess please it really is for the best, one day you will realize it. I really hope you’ll find someone who loves you the way you deserve to be loved cause you’re a great woman. You deserve the best only ... I’m not the person who can give that to you, I’m sorry. Bye Tess.... Tess : bbbyyyee BBBette.... Now After she hung with Tess she kept sitting there staring at the phone. Bette (thinking) : I did the right thing didn’t I? I couldn’t go on like this, I couldn’t keep hurting her like this, the way I’m feeling now I don’t even know what to think anymore. Bette’s IV : Yes you did what was fair but did you really mean it when you said you didn’t love her? Are you sure you’re not just confusing things right now because of all what Tina said yesterday? You must have felt some kind of connection with Tess otherwise you wouldn’t have gotten involved with her, you’re not the kind of woman to be with someone just to be with someone? You want to be loved too much for that. Bette : I don’t know ok? It’s all so confusing right now, I feel as if my head is going to explode any moment now. I just ..... All of a sudden she heard the doorbell Bette : who the fuck is that now, can’t they just leave me alone. The bell rang once again and she finally got up knowing she better opened that door cause who ever it was out there didn’t have any intention to leave. As she opened up she saw Alice standing in front of her and the look on her face told her she was in for some bad news. Bette : great that’s all I needed today. Alice : good morning to you too Porter, can I come in? Bette : I guess I don’t have a choice do I? Alice : no not really we need to talk. Bette : I don’t see what we have to talk about Alice Alice : well than don’t talk and just listen to me cause I’ve got plenty to say to you. Bette : Alice please I’m not in the mood for this, I really can’t deal with it right now no matter what it is you’re about to say. Alice : well Porter for once I really don’t care how you feel right now. You’re my best friend ever and I care a great deal about you but right now you really piss me off you know. Bette : ok get it over with what have I done to you now? Alice : you haven’t done anything to me except hurt a friend. How could you Bette? Bette : how could I what? And whot friend did I hurt? Alice : oh come on ! Don’t play miss innoncent with me ! Did you really think I wouldn’t find out? Did you? Bette : Alice please calm down or I will have to ask you to leave. Can’t have you yelling in my house at me like that ok. We can talk to each other in a decent and friendly way or you just go, what’s it gonna be? Alice : Ok I’m sorry I yelled at you but you got me so pissed Bette Bette : tell me what this is about and I will see what I can do to make things up to you, I can’t have my best friend angry at me like that. Alice : it’s about Tess. Why did you have to break up with her Bette? What has she done wrong? That girl loves you to death and you just used her and now threw her away like a piece of dirt. Bette : No Al I didn’t use her and I sure didn’t threw her away like a piece of dirt. I’m just very confused about my feelings right now and I thought what I did was best for her, I |
