“Has she called you yet” Helena had noticed a grumpy Tina at the office and thought that the reason must have been Bette not calling her

“No, she hasn’t but Kit told me that she called her to ask for Angelica”

“You know Tina, you could have continue with that conversation”

“No!” Tina was near the exasperation

“Ok but if you continue like this you’ll regret it later, in case you still care”

“I care Helena” Tina sighed and sit next to Helena “When she cheated on me I left her, we spent months without seeing us or talking” Helena give her an encouraging look but said nothing “then she decided to break up with her and come back to me claiming that I was the love of her life”

“By the way she looked at me when she found us talking at the Social Justice Office I’m sure you’re the love of her life”

“I know that all these years that we’ve spent together have been the best years of my life…” she stopped

“But?”

“I’m not over the fact she left me for another woman” Tina’s voice became cold

“She didn’t Tina, she’s still with you”

“She did!” Tina got up from the couch and started walking around her office “she said she was sorry, she cried and said she loved me and only me” she paused “but when she found out that I was gone she came back to Candance” Helena didn’t know what to say, she didn’t know this part of the story “She fucked up pretty bad, she hurt me pretty bad” Tina’s voice started quivering “I almost died that night”

“But she came back, she was sorry” Helena stood up and put her arms on Tina

Tina shook her head “She can say she was stressed for the job at the CAC, that she was in pain for the loss of the baby… if she wanted to release those feelings by fucking another woman because I was wrapped in my own world, shutting her out of my life and not wanting to make love to her it’s fine by me, I’ll accept it, but I won’t accept the fact that she kept seeing her …ok, I left her but she replaced me when I did”
