Bette had been fidgeting the entire time. They were in the waiting room waiting for the doctor to look at the x rays. Bette
had been told to wait for Tina outside the x ray room, at that Bette had almost pulled an angie and almost knocked his teeth in. But
she did it, she waited…and when Tina came out she held her hand tightly. Bette hated hospitals…bunch of *****. flipping through
magazines, shaking her leg…the wait was unbearable. Looking at Tina Bette realized how much she loved Tina. Bette would kill for her, she would die for her, she would suffer for her…and now T needed her to be strong. Bette was going through what many older couples went through. The reality of aloved one, a cherished one going through pain and uncertainty…the possibility of death. Bette now knew why couples sometimes died not far apart…love had embedded itself in their souls and to have that one person who fit, that one person who fit perfectly to be sick…was a reality too much for most people. Bette was no different, if Tina was in pain Bette was in worse pain…the progress of love had settled itself in her nerves, and to have it rattled like this was unbearable. Bette tried not to think about Angelica…they both agreed not to tell
angelica anything unless everything was concrete…no use putting all that on her shoulders. Thinking about angelica Bette frowned abit,
before the apointment a telephone message asked for an apointment on monday, that angelica was suspended for
five days. Bette had quizzed Angelica when she came home and only got a reply that someone was bullying her and they got into a little
scuffle. Tina was too much on Bette’s mind and she only told her that might be best if she was suspended. Angelica had gaped at her…
coming from even Bette that was a suprise. Then Bette suprised Angelica even more when she gave her fifty bucks and told her to
sleepover at someone’s house, she and Tina had to do some business adn angelica couldnt be in the way. Angelica was out the
door that very second. after kicking ***** getting suspended sleeping over with fifty buck AND her official status of being Shad’s girl had
made Angie bounce up to cloud nine. Back in the hospital the doctor beckoned them to come in…closing the drapes he sat down while Bette and Tina sat down also.
“Tina..Bette…i’ve looked at the x rays along with my peers…and i want to do a biospy, it might be nothing but from the x rays there
seems…there seems to be a tumor embedded near your kneecap and a small one in your jaw. Now this is different because it it is
in your bone not in the surrounding tissue…this may explain the bone pain and the exauhstion…but it may be benign, but to be
absolutely sure of anything a biopsy is imperative, it may be stage 3 and if it is we want to start treatment right away, so i want to
a bioposy later tonight, its the most earilest i can do it, the  only other time i have available is a week from now but that it isnt possible, a patient
pulled out and you should take his slot” The next thing the doctor knew was Bette, Bette in his face, in his space ….he felt
the anger the rage and the desperation “YOU ARE THE WORST DOCTOR I’VE EVER HAD THE MISFORTUNE TO MEET! HOW
CAN YOU EVEN SUGGEST BONE….BONE CANCER IF YOU DONT EVEN KNOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOUR PUTTING US THROUGH!!
YOU SHOULD NOT EVEN TALK NO DONT EVEN OPEN YOUR MOUTH I FEEL SORRY FRO THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE TO HEAR
YOU TELL THEM THEIR LOVED ONES DIED!! ***** YOU…”
