FOREVER I PROMISE: Chapter Twelve – part four

By the time Officer Whit arrived at the Kennard-Porter home Bette was beginning to have a really hard time with what happened. Having been another female that forced Bette after she said stop. The hospital didnt do anything about it. They didnt know how to handle female on female rape. So the hospital didnt bother to call in a rape counselor. Officer Whit on the other hand having worked W-H area for over 15 years did know who to call. After speaking with Tina the Officer put in a page for the departments Rape counselor that had worked with these type of cases before.

Granted Bettes handicap and mental status from her brain surgery added to it greatly. She was not capable of knowing that what Candace said and did was wrong. Bette had not even to begun to remember everything yet. She thought that she and Tina were married but Candace had convinced Bette that Tina left and they were together now. In Bettes mind after a bad day of Chemo, she was not able to know which the trust was. Anything else Bette couldnt understand. The only thing she remembered was that she loved Tina.

Tina had already settled Bette into bed after a bath. She went back into the living room with the Officer to wait. How is she ask Officer Whit? Shes sleeping finally Tina said. How are you holding up Ms. Kennard? Please call me Tina. Ok Tina please call me Whit. Now how are you holding up? Tina lowered her head. This is a lot to take in. That woman has been nothing short of the Devil in our lives since she started working with Bette. I had no idea she would be crazy enough to do something like this to Bette. Tina started crying. Bette and I have been through so much this past year. I swear to god. I just dont know how much more we can take. Just as Whit was about to respond there was a knock at the door.
