BEEP BEEP BEEP

The sounds that woke Bette up. She looked around the bright white room, thinking that she maybe in heaven. She then looked down to her hands to see many things plugged into her like she was an electrical board.

“Tina” she whispered.

She suddenly looked back up to see the doctor coming in

“Oh finally your awake. Sorry My names Doctor Jordan Cavangh.”
The doctor put the clipboard back onto the end of Bettes bed.

“So how are you feeling?”

Bette still looking a little disorientated. Try to keep her eyes on one thing.
Suddenly a rush of pain ran through her body. She groaned.

“Sore. “

Jordan smiled a little. “Well with the hit you had with that car you would! Yet I think the car got damaged more then you did…A few broken ribs, a cracked Pelvis and a few deep cuts. Nothing to serious. Right now it looks bad, but once the swelling goes down you’ll be ok.”

Bette smiled. “Thank you, good doctor.”

“Now as for visitors Ms Porter. Only one at a time.” She looked Bette straight in the eye. It scared Bette a little; it kinda reminded her of how her mum used to look at her, when she was in trouble.

“Can you go get my wife…Her names Tina, Tina Kennard.” Bette’s eyes were filling with tears. She only left that note for Tina and she guessed it was around 8 o’clock at night. She was so worried about Tina and what she was thinking.

“Sure I’ll go get her for you.” The good doctor walked out, leaving Bette alone in the bright, white, tiled room. It only took a couple of minutes before Tina came rushing into the room, tears pouring down her face. She stopped in mid-run after she saw how bruised Bettes face was and all the machines that were behind her. More tears started to run down Tinas face.

“Baby, Baby its ok. I’m going to be fine. Come here.” Bette ushered Tina over.
Tina slowly came over to Bette and grabbed her hand, she held it tightly.
“Baby I was so worried, I got your note and waited for you. But you never came back. Then I got a call from the hospital saying that you were hit by a car and that you were in surgery.” Her eyes started to well up with tears again and her body started to shake uncontrollably.

“Hey, come on. I’m fine. Really I am I feel better already, after seeing you that is.” Tina smiled at Bettes remark, yet it still didnt stop her shaking or crying.

“Bette Porter, I’ve lost you once and I’m not going to loose you again. You hear me.” Her grip was getting extra tight around Bette’s hand. Tina leaned over the bed and planted a light kiss on Bette’s lips. To which Bette flinched a little.

“Sorry baby did I hurt you?” Another tear dribbled down Tina’s face as she asked the question.
“It’s just the swelling thats all, once it goes down Ill be back to normal. New as new.” Bette tried to smile through all her pain, for Tina’s sake. To show Tina through that smile that everything was going to be fine. Nothing was going to stop them being together, not even God himself!

Bette grasped onto Tina’s body, even though it hurt her physically…. it would hurt her more emotionally if she didn’t hug her wife. They stayed in the embrace for quite sometime. Thinking about the ‘what if’s ‘ and ‘but’s ‘ yet they knew deep down inside that they should concentrate on the ‘now’ aspect of things. They were there together and in love and that meant the world to both of them. As they say “love can conquer all.” And in this case it had. Their embrace grew tighter as time ticked on and they stayed that way until they both feel asleep. Dreaming of there future, of whats to come in their relationship, in there own lives. Even though they were ‘one’ most of the time. They were still to different individuals and sometimes that mattered to the both of them. Yet right now they were ‘one’ right then and there and thats all they wanted to be, because if they werent ‘one’, who knows? They could have been halved.
