When It All Became 4
When It All Became 4
by PS
Bette was sitting alone at The Planet, reading, when she could feel someone standing nearby. She looked up and there was Alice, holding a cup of coffee.
Alice motioned towards the table, and Bette gave her a slight shrug.
With consent given, Alice sat down even though the tension between them remained.
She hadn’t talked since Alice since the night that she had invited herself over to Shane and Jenny’s. Bette had been telling herself that it was probably for the best. After all, the time before that when Bette had spoken to Alice about her interference regarding the lawyer, things had not gone well.
With recent events, she was very surprised that Alice had wanted to join her. And perhaps a little more surprised that she was glad for the company.
Since the night of The Planet’s reopening, Bette had not wanted to see anyone. Most anyone, anyway. And she had been trying not to dwell on the night of. The overwhelming feeling of coming home. The email.
The empty house.
Finally, Alice brought her back to the present.
“I’m glad Kit’s still serving coffee.”
Bette couldn’t help but smile at the mention of her sister. With all else that was happening, at least someone’s life appeared to be progressing.
“I think if we’d gone to that other place any more, Shane would be going postal.”
“Uh huh.” Bette flipped a page. The tension remained but it was lessened. That was good. It was a start.
“And you’re?” Alice let the leading question drop. They both knew this could refer to such a myriad of things at present, Bette felt grateful that she didn’t get specific.
“I’m ok,” Bette lied.
“Ok,” Alice tentatively replied.
It was obvious she wasn’t believed. Bette didn’t believe herself. Somehow things had spun so out of control, and seemed to be increasing to the point where nothing could hold things together. Such a change from how it had been at one point, where there was Tina, and the two of them were settling into what was more a relationship than mere dating.
Bette let her memories wander back to a happier time.
“I need to cancel tonight.”
“Oh.”
