Letting Go – chapter ten
Chapter ten:
Bette was lying on her bed tossing and turning unable to sleep. Needless to say, Monday night was ***** for Bette. After hearing from Kelly that Eric was planning on a proposal, Bette quickly went from floating on cloud nine to a sudden rapid drop straight into the ground plunging head first shattering her hopes.
Forget Tina, there was nothing Bette could do; she didn’t want to be that one who would hurt an innocent person. Despite how deep Bette’s love for Tina had quickly become, she refused to become that third person in a relationship. Besides, Bette had only known Tina for less than a day, how much love could’ve possibly formed within the short span of hours?
‘Infinite,’ Bette could fool her mind, but she couldn’t fool her heart into believing she wasn’t in love with Tina. If friendship was her only option with Tina, friendship would be what Bette would take.
Staring at the dark ceiling, Bette raised her right hand and let her arms hang in the air. The bracelet was now dangling loosely swinging back and forth like a pendulum. As Bette’s gaze switched from the ceiling to her bracelet, she asked herself ‘How can your heart beat so strongly for someone you don’t even know, and how can it hurt so much for someone you don’t want to love?’
Bette remembered what she told herself this afternoon while she was holding Tina’s hand in her own, she said she wouldn’t let go, but she didn’t have much of a choice now. Why did it always seem like Bette had to let go of everything she wanted to hold onto, and why was it that she had to hold onto everything she wanted to let go of?

“Hey baby, how was your first day of student teaching?” Eric asked curiously on the other line.
“It was okay; just glad I’m still alive.” Tina had significantly cut down her phone conversations with Eric to a minimum by keeping her responses short.
This had been going on for the last few months, Eric felt the distance in Tina’s voice, and he couldn’t help but ask.
“Tina, what’s wrong? Are you okay?” Eric was never confident in their relationship, but he tried his best to make Tina happy.
