Amanda finally stopped crying and Bette didnt know what to say. Amanda please tell me .I cant tell you Bette..Amanda is she alive????????????? Amanda looks away.. GOD DAMMIT AMANDA JUST TELL ME IS SHE ALIVE????????????????
Yes Bette she is alive..Feeling a little relieved thank you Amanda ..thank you..Please can you tell me anything about Tina.Let me speak to George first..Can I come back again next week..Yes I will have an answer for you then.. But Bette what ever I say next week If I decide not to tell you anything please abide by my wishes .you have to promise me because if you dont agree now ..Amanda I will abide by what ever you say..I promise..good or bad..Ok then I will let you know my decision next SundayHere at about 2:00..FineThank you Amanda As Bette walks to the door.May I hug you Mom..Amanda reaches to Bette and they hug and kiss .tears are forming in Bettes eyes.Bette leaves and is in her car.she loses it..Bette has not cried in almost 7 yearsNow she couldnt even see.she was hysterical .she sat in her car for about 30 minutes..Amanda came out to Bette opened the door and pulled her out and back into the house ..Washed her face and made some tea..Bette calmed down.She apologized to Amanda.No need to apologize to me Bette.This next week you should do a lot of thinking because if I decide to tell youDo you think you could handle any news about TinaGood or Bad ..I hope so Amanda God I hope so

I m ok to drive home .thanks again ..see you next week.she leaves and drives away.

Amanda breaks down..Could see tell Bette and betray Tinas trust or should she let Bette just leave Tina alone .and just let them both just live their livesas they have been doing these past 7 yearsALONE AND MISERABLE .

Sure She was alive.But was that livingBette where were you 7 years ago .***** even 6 years ago.Its been a long time..too ***** long

Looking at the time..4:45 good George should be home soonI need him to help me make a decision .

5:30 George came home .. Chris already filled him in.So what did Bette want?????????????? She wants to know about Tina. Did you tell her I told her nothingGood lets goWhere.To see Tina..Now!!!!!Yes its been too ***** long.This should have happened years ago. We never should have agreed to let her go and stay there..So now we are going to bring her home..Amanda starts crying.. .and says yes lets bring her home

On their way Amanda thinks back to that god awful night when they almost lost Tina.The phone rang.Tina was sleeping on the couch..so I went into the other room and talked for about 5 minuteswhen I can back Tina was looking at me crying her eyes out .saying Im sorry mom.but I cant go on any more.please forgive me.and an empty bottle of pills falls out of her hand.she was pleading with me to just let her die .just go to sleep mom she kept telling me ..it will be over by morning..if I cant have Bette I cant live I want to dieI called 911 and we rushed her to the hospital..They pumped her stomach..tied her to a bed .and she got better..she hated me ..she told me to get the ***** out every time I came to see her .but I never left..we knew she would do it again but next time we wouldnt be so lucky..she was smarter now..we had to put her away.I hated it just the name a Mental Hospital .made me sick..but Tina needed help.and Jeffrey found this place..Mom its a good hospital..I know some of the doctors therewe went to medical school together and they will look after her and keep me informed..So I trusted my oldest son.and he was good to his word.Tina got Better.and before long she was ready to leave the hospital..with a clean bill of healthwe were satisfied she would not try to hurt herself again.So now for the past 4 years she has lived by herself.on top of a mountain.with no out side contact..she has her garden.and she writes childrens books..Pretty damm good at it actually. Published dozens of books..Has her own publishing company..

Now all I have to do is convince her to at least let me tell Bette that she was OKPlease God help meGeorge looks over and sayswhat are you thinking babe????????? Im prayingPraying is good..But I dont think we will need to much to convince her to come home..To see Bette .now thats another story..

As they pulled up Tina runs out to meet them..she was so excited and happyWhat a wonderful surprise.as they all hug and kiss..Is everything all right??? Tina everything is fine ..we just miss you terribly ..We want you to come homeFunny I was thinking about that. I need to go home .. Back to life.Im 39 years old.I need to feel love again.and I need to live again.Wow thats great newsGeorge looks over at Amanda.Tina sees this..Ok Tell me the rest of the story now..Come on Mom I know you like one of my books..Your right there is one piece I left out..Bette came to see me today.Bette.How is she????? Lost and very Confused..she wants to know about you ..What did you tell her.nothing GoodShe is coming back to the house on Sunday..I told her I would have an answer for her then..

Tina just standing there thinking.is she still with ..NO.she left before the end of that first year..she is with no one .she hasnt been with any one for the past 6 yearsShe wants to sell the house..She needs your signature.She already had it..The lawyers have all the informationsigned and sealed.She also wants to give you half of the profits .she even said you could have it allshe doesnt need the moneyMade millions in the art world..

When I wouldnt tell her anything about you she broke downshe was a wreck..Tina smilingso I have a week.Well lets get goingI have a lot of work to do..What about this house?????? Just then 2 women came in from the fields..Meet the new owners.Tina is there anything you want to take with you???? No.I gave them everything.This place was my salivationMaybe it will help them now..Getting into the car.Tina taking a last look at her home for the past 4 years ..smiles and says .LETS GO

Amanda thinks to her self.Even though these 2 were apart..they are still connected Talk about Chemistry But why did it take 7 years to surface..they belong together..They need each other.

The ride back started off quiet. Amanda thinking to herself . 7 years later..they both have the same dream.WHY..Tina gives her home away..Bette now wants to sell their home.Tina will need a place to live.Maybe her old house..Bette never dated any one. either did Tina.Amanda was going crazy..

Ok Tina What Happenedthat you and Bette both at the same time start thinking about each other?????????? I dont knowI just woke up one morning last week thinking about my poolthe little herb garden..my wonderful ***** Hot Tub. All of the great memories we had in the 7 years we were together..

I bet Dana and Alice hooked up togetherand Jenny and Marina.oh and Shane..well Shane is ShaneI hope she found someone .Did Bette mention the gang?????????/ No she didnt.Amanda hated lying but for now she thought it was best. What if things didnt turn out that way Tina ???????? Then it wasnt meant to be. Do you think you and Bette were meant to be???????? Absolutely .. Thats the reason I could never love another Man or WomanAnd now you tell me when she broke up with Candace she never loved againShe told me she never loved Candacethat is was just about *****..I never even gave her a chance to explain to me .we never talked about it .I just left..I wish I had the chance to do it all over again.I would have fought for her instead I just ran away..well that was the old Tina .this is the new and improved Tina..and Im coming homeLooking around..You know George my house is not to far from here..could we just swing by.I just want to see it..sure just let me know where to turn

As they made their way around West Hollywood.turning down her street and pulling up in front of the house.Amanda saysOh my God lookWhat asked Tina.Bettes car was in the driveway..Really George Please stop.Tina youre not going in are you..

Bette was driving for hours .all over West Hollywood.She ended up at their home..Bette and Tinas home.Why she had no idea.she was drawn to it..Walking into the houseThe house was spotlessBette had the whole place kept up for yearsevery thing was brand new..perfect..hoping that some day they would be back….Bette went back 12 years.to when they moved into the house..all of the anniversary parties they had.Christmas.birthdays walking into their bedroom.the night Tina became pregnant..everything flashed in her mind..then that god awful night the last night they were in this houselooking at the bedBette breaks down again..she is crying screaming..TinaTina ..where are you..What did I do to us Tina..Tina Where are you..Im right here Bette..Tina is that really you..Where Im right here babeOh Tina I never stopped loving youI love you to BabeAs Bette reached for Tinashe opened her eyes..But no Tina.NOOOOOOOOOOO another night mare.Another tease..Bette looked around the room and remembered where she wasTina what did I do .What did I do Bette laid back down and she cried herself to sleep..AGAIN

Ok George please lets go.He takes off and the rest of the ride home was very quietChris had fallen asleep on Tinas lap.Tina loved Chris and she just held on to her .smiling..thinking..Thanking God that Amanda saved her life 6 years ago.. What was I thinking.I never should have left my homeI should have fought for Bette.I let that ***** ***** Candace win.WHY..Kennard you were a fool.And now you just might have another chance..MAYBE7 ***** years ago I was on top of the world..Pregnant and I was in love ..Then all ***** broke loose and instead of finding out why Bette did this I just gave up Its funny I never thought about any of this until about 1 week ago.Thats when Amanda said Bette started thinking about selling the house..Maybe she never sold the house hoping I would come back..Well Porter guess whatIm backAll this time and where are we.. FULL CIRCLE.Back at square one.Maybe I should send her an earring in the mail with a date —-time—–and the name of a restaurant —–She would ***** if I did that Or maybe just walk into the CAC and buy an expensive piece of art..See Bette you werent the only one who did alright these past years.Writing childrens books is big business.Especially a book about 2 young girls..Best of friends.growing up..Chris and BethThat story line made me millions..Plus my own Publishing Company. Tina-Bette Productions..and now my own Cartoon and the dolls are due out next Christmas.

As George pulls into their driveway.Tina wakes Chris up and helps her into bed.Says good night to Amanda and George and off to bed herselfI could have her stay at the Bed and Breakfast .so I could at least see her again.But if just thinking about Bette has sparked a new life in me image what seeing her will do..DAMMMMM

This should be very interesting Indeed..I think I will wait before I call the gangI dont want any distractions..You see Bette Porter now you will be the HUNTED and I will be the HUNTERLET THE GAMES BEGIN.
