Home is where the heart is (Berena)

Chapter Ten

Serena stroked the blondes hair as she watched her sleep on her chest , she put the covers over them making sure that Bernie was comfortable as Serena had moved a little, she kissed her head before closing her eyes feeling safe knowing that her girlfriend wasn't out getting into any trouble while being drunk.

The blonde moved feeling the brunette move, and let out a little moan while trying to get comfortable, Serena smiled in her sleep hearing the blonde mumble, she held her close "shush baby I got you" the brunette softly spoke in her sleep knowing that Bernie was having trouble sleeping

With the blonde feeling the embracement of her partner she soon calmed down and cuddled into Serena as she started to fall into a deep sleep, As Bernie had put her phone one the side Serena reached over and picked up the phone to put it on charge for her.

As Serena put Bernies phone on charge she noticed that she had a text message from Alex

" I'm at the airport waiting for you, if your talk doesn't go well with Serena, all you have to do is buy a ticket then we can have a fresh start and go wherever you wanna go.
Love you so much
A x"

Serena read it and sighed but was thankful that Bernie had came to see her as she didn't want Bernie to leave Holby - the hospital needed her as much as Serena needed her partner.

Alex was waiting at the airport for Bernie , she looked down at her plane ticket and sighed knowing that she was going to be Bernie's second choice so she gathered her bags and headed to the departure lounge, and waited for her plane to be announced.

Bernie soon woke and looked at her phone to see what time it was before looking over at Serena who was sound asleep, the blonde slowly got up and got dressed before making her way to the airport, she kept her suitcase at Serena's as she was going to stay , she wanted to say goodbye to Alex properly.

When Bernie got to the airport she looked around for Alex before making her way to the departure lounge, Alex was about to board her plane when Bernie called out

"Alex Wait"

Alex turned around and looked at Bernie , she gave her a smile not knowing that Bernie was about to say goodbye to her , Alex walked over to the seats and sat down, bernie sat next to her and took her hand

"You took your time, i take it things didn't work out between you and Serena?" Alex asked while Bernie was playing with her hand as she was nervous on what she was about to say and do, the blonde took a deep breath

"Urm.... She needs me lex...." she replied

Alex felt her heart breaking knowing that she was right about being the blondes second choice "And what I don't need you?" Alex asked holding back the tears again

"Lex.... I'm sorry I Really am, I do love you"

"No your not... you never did love me did you? You left me to go back to Marcus when I needed you and now it's happening again but this time it isn't Marcus it's Serena..."

The blonde looked at her shocked "what makes you think I don't? I was your girlfriend for ten years?"

"I'm just going to be your second choice bernie , that's all I ever am to you" Alex said letting the tears fall Bernie wiped them with her thumbs and realised how badly she had treated her

"I know I messed up.." the blonde softly spoke before pausing and let Alex cut in

"It wasn't your fault..."

"Yes it was.... everything is my fault just like the car crash, the affair I should of just told him..."

"Bernie Nobody knew that crash was going to happen so stop blaming yourself" Alex sighed "Marcus would of found out anyway.."
