Shane shouted: Tina? Waking Alice with a jolt. She started to look for Tina and Shane around in the room before realizing that Shane was in kitchen. By the time she got upShane was putting on her jacket and running out with keysLook after BetteI am going to get Tinashes in police-station. Alice held her by the waist stopping herWait! What? Shane!! Shane tried to push herself out of Alices hold and then stopped to take a breadth. Shane: Alice…Tina called. They got Kyle.Tina needs to be cleared and picked up. Ill get herlook after BetteTinas orders.

Too late! Bette said.she was standing theretrying to get her jacket on. I am going with you. Alice grabbed Dana who was up and just trying to make sense of the commotion. Alice: Lets goThat was the fastest Shane could drive. That was the longest drive Bette could remember. That was the most quiet night Alice had ever had and Dana had never been more scared. Bette was thinkingworst caseTina would hurt Kyleright? She is not like meimpulsiveshe would not be in troublewhat possessed her to go alonewhy did she go at all? Why the ***** did I sleep? They were there.

Tina had managed to get out of bed at around four. She tiptoed in the living room. It was a sight. Alice was sleeping on Danas shoulder and Dana head was sunk behind her on the couch. They were trying extreme uncomfortable position to help them stay awake. Shane was lying on the couch with her legs dangling down. The TV was on. Tina had to do this. She had started itshe would end it. She felt the rage and she felt strong. She could completely understand Bettes behavior in the Milk previous week. She had to let Kyle know they were strong and safe and tell her to keep away from either of them. She took the keys and her cell phone.set 911 on dial key 1and set out.driving to Kyles house.

Tina was sitting looking very calm and quiet. Bette was walking as fast as she couldcalling out her name from *****? Bette was trying to scan Tina for hurtsWhat did she do? Shane had saidTina had asked come and get meso she couldnt have possibly done something drastic. Bette reached where Tina was sitting and held her taking her head in her chest. She knelt down with a lot of pain and effort and looking up at Tina said: Are you okay Baby? Tina nodded. Bette took Tinas handsYou scared meAre you okay? Tina kissed Bettes wounded hands and got up bringing Bette to her feet.Take me home Bette! She plunged into Bette. Hugging her as tight as possible and whispering again: Take me home baby!

The cop Shane had seen yesterday was walking up to them. He said Kyle was taken under arrest after Tina called them. He explained that they would need to sign some places and they might be called to testify and investigate. Kyle had a previous record and they would make sure this time she paid for her behavior.

Tina had dialed 911 before she knocked on Kyles door. She was scared but she was sure. She was angry but in control. She had to stand upface Kyle and let her knowwhat she did to herand to BetteShe had to tell her they were still standingtogetherstrong and in love. They were safe and not afraid. As Kyle opened the door.Tina dealt with the fury first. Surprising Kyle as she started to sayMyMy.Tina dragged her out and pushed her on the stairs. Straddling herand looking into her eyesTina saidin a controlledfirm and loud enough voiceNow thats what I want I wanted to see in your eyesfearand thats what I wanted you to seefearlessness. KyleI am not killing you because I want to live.with my Bettebut I will see that you will pay for what you didWe are okay Kylewe are not scaredyou saw it today it Bettes eyesand you can see in mine. Tina could hear sirens at a distance and she could see Kyles bruisescourtesy Bette.she looked into Kyle eyeWe are not weak Kyle.but we are not youThe cops had hand-cuffed dazed Kyle and taken Tinanot knowing her condition, reason or intent.

They were all so proudof Bette and of Tina and of them together. Bette and Tina. It was love that brought them together and love that kept them together. They hurt and cried for each otherthey lived and were ready to die each other. They changed.only for better. They parted ways only to learn that they belonged together. They walked behind Bette and Tinaas they helped each other to walk back.to their home.

Everyone entered the house. Bette and Tina hand-in-hand. Alice and Dana started the coffee… as Tina got Bettes ice-pack and sat I in her lap to nurse her woundswith ice and then with kisses. Bette said with tears in her eyes: T.you are a brave girlI am so proud of you. But, baby if you ever scare me like that againI think I will dieTina smiled for the first time after a long while. Tina: okay but if you want me to stop chasing bad girlsyou are never working late..ever! Bette rolled her eyeshugging Tina tightly. And there was a knock on the door. Shane got upon her way kissing Bettes head and playing with Tinas hair.Dont get into trouble for the next two minutes

Shane opened the door to Jenny, Marina and Kitdressed in paint-work-clothes and bandanas. Kit whispered: Did Tina leave? Shane: Change of plans.
