Tina felt it rising inside her, her walls had contracted, and when the currents had washed out of her, Bette was the name she mentioned, Bette was the one person on her mind. She opened her eyes in astonishment, in plain and announced regret that can never be erased even if she tried her best. At the end of the day, it was still Bette that persuaded her heart to beat. The mistake that she had just done will always haunt her and she can never look at Bette the same way ever again, without passing by the memory of cheating on her girlfriend with another friend. Tina was too outraged by her decisions that a tear had rolled down her cheek while looking at Helena’s naked upper body, and hers. “What the fuck did I just do…? What the fuck did I do…?”

7:30 pm @ The Planet

Shane returned to her group’s table after getting a drink for herself from the bar. She was dialing Carmen’s number but it just redirected her to the voice mailbox so she hung up and sat beside Dana who was talking to Lara. She narrowed her eyes at the two, and gave off a goofy smile.

“What…?” Dana asked, keeping herself from bursting with information. One single laugh from her and she knew she’ll be spilling the beans all over the place.

“Nothing. You kids continue what you’re doing.” Shane shook her head then looked at her watch. “Where are you…?”

Tina and Helena were physically there, but the only thing they did the past hour was sigh and look outside The Planet. They were sitting across each other. Jenny had brought her writing pad and had been muttering to herself since she got there. Moira wasn’t present because she had plans of her own for that night. And without Alice, the group may as well be dead.

Bette came into view and Tina stood up, raced to her and hugged her as tight as she can. Of course, Bette was set back, and she thought there was a problem. She embraced her girlfriend for a second and held Tina’s shoulders so she could check what was up. Tina wasn’t crying but her face appeared desperate. “What’s up baby…?” Bette took a glance at the group and Shane and the others were just as perplexed.
