OUT OF CONTROL chapter 8

Tina calmed down and finally released her desperate hold on Kit. Now  Kit was looked at Tina concerned, “it wasn’t your fault.”

Tina was having a hard time believe that but said, “I know.”

“Do you really?”

Tina simply nodded at the question posed to her.

“Yeah, okay. We’re not done with this but I need to get up. I think I’m going to talk a walk around the block. The hospital had a nice little path behind the building would you like to come with?”

Tina didn’t say anything in response but shook her no to the offer.

“Okay then I’ll be back in a bit.”

Soon after Kit departed Alice and Dana returned from there little jaunt away. They looked absolutely disheveled. Tina suspected she knew what they we up, too. She wouldn’t say anything about it because they were dealing with everything as well. They just needed to relieve the pressure and they have each to do that. It’s good not to be alone.

Alice walked with Dana to the seats, kissed Dana, and whispered in her ear. Dana sat down and as Alice walked away from her the held their touch for a long as they could before releasing their intertwined fingers. Alice made her way toward Tina and sat down next to her, “Hey, TK. How are you holding up?”

Tina smiled at her, “as well as could be expected all things considered. She needs to wake up, Al.”

“She will, TK. She will.”

“How can you be so sure?”

“Because it’s Bette Porter we’re talking about. Ah, Tina there’s something I need to tell. I only just remember and thought I should tell you.”

“What is it?”

“Well, when you were sleeping your phone was ringing. I didn’t want it to wake you. I turned off. It was, Helena. I didn’t talk to herbut I did hang up on her.”

“*****, Helena. I almost forgot. I can’t deal with her right now.”

Tina took her phone out and just stared at it. Without turn it on she placed it back in pocket. “Well, T. You know you are going to have to deal with her sooner or later. Hopefully it’s sooner rather than later. That woman gives me the creeps.”
