Chapter Eight – The Resolution

"Who's up for movie night tonight?" Carmen asked, entering the apartment with a handful of DVDs. Tibby and Lena, who were busy cooking pasta, joined Carmen and I on the sofa.

"What movies did you get?" Tibby asked.

Carmen looked a little unsure, before proceeding. "I thought I'd get some movies with gay women in them, but I could only find ones with guys. So I got Brokeback Mountain and In and Out. I also picked up the first season of The L Word, very lesbian friendly, plus there's a bisexual character."

I couldn't help laughing. Carmen looking at me sadly, so I hugged her.

"Carmen, we don't need to watch gay movies, just because I like girls and boys, doesn't mean I want to watch them."

"There's some hot girls in The L Word," She noted. I laughed again.

My cheeks felt warm. "I suppose we could give it a try."

Tibby and Lena finished off the pasta and served it up, we sat down in front of the 'The L Word'. We didn't get very far when Lena and Carmen started asking me questions.

"What happened with Jane?" Lena muttered, followed quickly by Carmen.

"Yeah, she looked pretty upset when she left."

I sighed, not really sure how I felt about telling them. "We had a fight, well, we broke up."

"Oh no. What happened?" Carmen gasped.

I laughed. "It's ironic really, she had a hard time accepting that I couldn't tell you guys. Then when she left, I did."

"Will you two get back together do you think?" Lena asked, rubbing my shoulder supportively. I smiled back at her.

"No, not right now anyway. I don't think it was as much about me, but more about her dad. She needs time to sort things out after that, get her head together. I think it's best if I let her have some space."

"Aww, yeah," Carmen sighed. "That must be so hard for her."

"Have you told her that?" Lena asked.

"Not yet, but I'm going to ring her in a couple of days and apologise for not being more sensitive to her."

"Sensitive? I understand with her dad, but she couldn't make you tell us, don't apologise for that."

I smiled at Carmen again, I knew she was right, but I couldn't help feeling like I should make it up to Jane somehow.

"Would you stop!" Tibby snapped, throwing her plate on the coffee table and standing up. Lena, Carmen and I all stared at her.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

Tibby blew up again. "Would you stop talking about your damn sexuality? So you're half gay, big deal. Can we just move on already?" I stared at her as she rushed out of the room, silence blanketing the scene that just played out.

-

I nominated myself to follow Tibby. I found her stood in front of her open window, staring out across the street below.

"What's wrong Tibs?" I asked, cautiously. Tibby continued to stare out of the window.

"Nothing, I'm fine."

"You're not, I know this whole thing can't be easy, getting used to it."

"You're still our Bee," Tibby muttered, but I didn't believe in what she was saying. "You're still Bee."

I sighed. "It's not the same though."

"No." Tibby admitted.

"It's okay to be mad, or upset, or hate this whole thing." I informed her. "It's okay if you hate me right now."

Tibby turned around and for the first time in days, she looked me in the eye.

"I don't hate you Bee, I couldn't."

"But you hate this situation?" I guess. Tibby nodded. "What can I do to make it easier?"

"Be straight."

I laughed and Tibby quickly joined in. I rested a hand on her shoulder.

"It's okay to feel that way. I felt that way too when I first started doubting how I felt. I didn't want this, but now I've come to realise it's who I am."

"I know," Tibby whispered.

"Maybe if you ask me any questions you have, maybe that will help?" I asked, smiling.

"Okay," Tibby began. "Did, did you ever have a crush on one of us?"

I laughed. "Oh sure, you're a real babe." I joked.

Tibby rolled her eyes and grinned. "Be serious."

"I've never felt that way about any of you. You're my best friends and that's all it is. You three mean more to me than any girlfriend, or boyfriend ever could."

"So, you still liked Eric?"

I nodded. "Of course, part of me always will. I could meet a guy tomorrow and he could be the one, I could get married to him and we could live happily ever after."

"But it could be a girl?" she checked.

I nodded again. "It could be. But who knows?"

"Is it okay if I take some time to get used to this whole thing?" Tibby sighed.

"I wouldn't expect any of you to fully accept it within two days, take all the time you need Tibby. Just as long as you let me know when you're okay."

"I will."

We hugged and I knew things were going to be okay. I let my hand wander past Tibby's lower back, until she pulled away, we both laughed and hugged again.

"You coming back to watch The L Word?" I asked, walking towards the doorway.

"I think I'll stay in here for a while."

"Okay," I muttered, leaving her alone with her thoughts.
