“Hey,” She heard Shane whisper, leading Tina to the lounge.
Tina was hanging onto Shane like she might disappear. “Hi,” She whispered, looking up quickly to see Shane’s concern replaced momentarily with a smile.
“Let’s sit,” Shane instructed, easing Tina down onto the lounge before sitting herself. Turning to face her, Shane simply asked “What’s up?”
This inadvertently brought a smile to Tina’s face; as quick as it came it crumpled again, “Bette’s in hospital.”
**********
Alice jumped out of the car and raced through the doors of the hospital. She had no idea where to look for the girls, and knew from past experience it was almost impossible to find out where to go from the staff. She wasn’t family, she wasn’t anything but a friend… but she’d try again, it couldn’t hurt.
She ran up to the admittance desk, stopping shy of the desk and breathing hard for a moment before calmly walking up to the desk.
“Can I help ya?” The young nurse asked, sorting some file on the table in front of her. Good, she was distracted, Alice thought.
“I’m looking for Bette Porter, she was bought in about an hour ago.” Alice estimated, not really knowing what time she was bought in, all she was told from Tina was that Helena had been trying her for awhile before she had to turn off her phone.
Nodding, the nurse diligently plugged Bette’s name into the computer, pulling up her current location. Every keystroke felt like an hour to Alice, and by the time the nurse looked up to give her the location, Alice was jumping from side to side, anxious.
“Bette Porters family are in the surgical waiting…” Before she could finish, Alice hastily thanked the nurse and ran to the elevator. She knew where the waiting room was.
**********
“Fuck,” Shane spat. She just couldn’t believe it. Bette Porter tried to commit suicide. Bette may have succe… no “NO!” Shane yelled, refusing the believe it. To give voice to her fear. “No.”
Tina watched Shane, understanding the denial but surprised by the anger behind it. There wasn’t any anger in Tina’s heart, only helplessness and sadness. A deep, pervasive sadness which swelled everytime she imagined Bette, in those last moments after the phone call.

I hope Bette is OK an gets help..from doctors and Tina. pps
Another great chapter…PPS.
I’m hoping that they will let Tina see Bette very soon. I feel like Tina didn’t know what was going on with Bette, She was part of Bette peoblen,but Bette had a big hand in it. Now is not the time to point fingers. Just get Bette in goodhealth and sound mind. thanks This was still sad.Poor shane.
Even re-written, still very sad. Hope Kit will let Tina come and see Bette and stay with her, she and Angie, for awhile, needs to be with Bette. Bette needs to know that Tina does still love her no matter how hard she has tried not to do so. This is not really Tina’s fault but Bette’s slone. Bette has real mental problems due to her own and Tina’s actions. But Bette is the reason that she tried to take her own life, no one else can be blamed wholly. Tina can be blamed partially but it was Bette’s decision to take her life. Now Tina can also be part of the reason for Bette’s healing, if Kit will let her. Hopefully Helena can sway Kit to let Tina bring the baby and for both to see Bette. Thanks for posting. PPS
Well,that would be a big no I’m not, since Tina is still punishing Bette for her mistake six years ago, stopped the adoption, said that Bette wouldn’t miss Angie or didn’t even love her, ,and took Angie away from Bette completely, putely out of spite. Nothing Bette did would ever justify Tina’s taking their child. Bette had no idea if she would ever see Angie again. this isn’t “oops, my bad” stuff.What about this behavior is admirable or “fan” worthy?
Just re-read this one. It’s still as painful as the first post. I’m still holding out that Bette’s going to pull through. I’m also hoping that Tina will see her ASAP and not leave her side. She is finally putting all the pieces together and getting the picture of Bette’s state of mind. She has to be there to help bring Bette back from the bottom….especially since she played a part in putting her there. IMHO. :) PPS – this has been away for too long. :)
Hello there, sweet Deean! Now we understand why you wanted to edit this chappy. As an artist places the brushes of details on a canvas, that what you did with this part. Perhaps it was important to emphasize certain attitudes on the characters, so we may see where they stand at this particular time. Our grasp of the overall situation, is that everyone is feeling guilty, for not anticipating Bette’s suicide attempt. However, no one could prevent that from happening. Bette was already merged in her own darkness. We believe that the next step is for them to talk to the psychiatrist first. There are some professional hints that all of them need to learn, in order to provide the required help, Tina included. We do not think that the presence of Angie at the hospital will be wise. The innocent little girl will not understand the critical condition in which her mom B is. We shall wait for your next update, to see where you are leading us. Thanks for making your Authors’cut on this chappy. PPS Hugs & kisses on both your cheeks. – Lucero & Marsha (Proud Salsa Aunties to the ever loving JC and Eunichick)
still awesome update!! the gang can’t blame tine for this at all. bette needs to take responsiblity… i hope tina will be able to see bette while in recovery.:)PPS
not a fan of Tina, Caliegh? : )
I need the next chapter NOW!
I find it interesting that even though Bette had been spiraling down since Tina left, she didn’t commit this drastic act until Tina reappeared. this tells me that seeing Tina is causing her pain and Bette needs to stay far away from her until she is in a healthier place. This is a Bette story, it does NOT have to involve Tina, and it’s okay to say that Tina is not what Bette needs. She has hurt Bette and needs to stay away. I guess Tina could do anything imaginable to Bette and would get a pass.
