This Is Where We Are

Bound

Erotic, satisfying, compelling, and complex.  Shane was everything Bette had wondered in secret.  The illicit one nighter that no one could have predicted, but even more baffling as to why this had long been an unspoken doubt amongst the circle they called friends.  Both trainwrecks in their own light, impulsive, and reckless in the dark.  There was something that sparked whenever both Bette and Shane let their walls down.  There was just one major problem that Bette refused to acknowledge, accept, or deal with.  Tina.

     Tina had been the love of her life, mother of her child, her headache and pain, but also her savior and grace.  There had never been a person that Bette worked so hard to please and be with sacrificing her own identity, but they were toxic.  Neither could be complete, neither whole with the other present because they bought sought the limelight and success.  None of the break up had felt real until Tina's revelation of another marriage.  Bette's blood raged as she remembered "first, last, forever".  Convinced she was all part of twisted game she refused to let her mind dwell on Tina and her own unwillingness to forgive and move on.
