The Beginning Chapter 1.

Bette sits alone in a Hotel Room. Its dark except for a dim light on the desk. The bed is untouched except that a small bag sits atop of it, slightly open. She is sitting on a chair at the desk with papers scattered around dialing a number on a phone.

Bette: Hey
Nadine: Hey, whos this.
B: Its me.
N: Ah, the disappearing woman. You got a lot of people looking for you. Theyre even calling me. Any idea why?
B: They think that I left and went over there for some restor something.

N: What about over here. I cooked. Anythings got to be better than take-out again.
B: Naw, Im ok. Just tired.
N: Do you need anything? I mean you sound kind of more tired than usual. Like depressed. Is there anything that I can do?
B: (Sighs) No. Dont worry Im not gonna do anything to myself. I just need I need to find out what Im gonna do, now that Im.

B: Out of the house. Away from fighting and the noise.
N: Mustve been hard. But Im glad that you called. (Smiles) So, does anyone know where you are?
B: A few people know where I am, case of emergency.
N: What emergency?
B: (Matter of fact) if something happens to the baby or Tina and I need to be there.
N: If that concerns you, then why are you where you are?
B: What do you mean?
N: I mean, if thats a concern of yours, then why did you bail in the first place?
B: I dont know.

B: I do.
N: Then why are you talking to me?
B: Because youre a friend.
N: Am I?
Knock at the door. Bette gets up to answer it. Instead of answering it, she peeks through the hole. She lets out a big sigh.
B: Hey Ill call you back. (Hangs up to phone and throws it on the bed. She reluctantly opens the door. Tina walks in. shes the woman that Bettes left. Tina looks up to her to expose cry soaked eyes. )
Tina: (Voice shaky) Hey.
B: (Also shaky) Hey.
Bette moves out of the way to let her in, she lets out a long sigh because she knows that itll be a long night.
