Bette didn’t answer the calls coming from the unknown number on her cell phone. She assumed they were from Tina, but didn’t answer just the same. Alice had earlier watched Tina leave the gallery, but when she ran out after her, it was too late; she had disappeared into the night. Alice walked back and eventually found Bette standing in front of her own painting, sipping a glass of wine and occasionally looking down at her phone.
“What happened? Where did Tina go?” Bette, not taking her eyes from the painting, finally said, “I don’t know, Alice, why don’t you go stalk her and find out.” Bette was being facetious, and Alice knew it, but said, “Alright, if you insist,” and turned to walk away. Bette reached out and turned Alice’s body to face her. “Leave her alone. I don’t want you bothering her anymore.”
“Oh my…you’re sweating. Do you feel alright, what’s wrong with you,” Alice said, as she touched Bette’s face. “I’m fine—I’m just having an—episode, I think. It will pass.”
“This has happened to you before?” Bette didn’t answer and began fanning herself. “Come with me, let’s go to your office for a little while.”
Tina waited down the street for the taxi to come, and called Bette from her cell phone to avoid any public embarrassments. She had left several messages urging Bette to come to her apartment when the show had ended, but wondered if her efforts were in vain.
Once inside the office, Bette threw her cell phone onto the desk and sat down with her head between her knees. “Just breath, I’m right here.” Bette was breathing in and out when the door opened. “What’s going on,” Dana asked. “Bette here is just having an—what did you call it, an episode?”
“An episode? Oh, like a panic attack, yeah, I get those sometimes before a match.” Dana took a seat on the other side of Bette and rubbed her back. “It’s probably just nerves…with the gallery and all the work you’ve been doing.”
“Yeah, that’s probably what it’s from.”

very interesting… bette didn’t remember this… and tina was the one who was hit on the head… PPS
I think I am kind of confused, maybe when Bette goes to Philly, things will become clearer.
Yes, very interesting indeed. Bette must have blocked her all of her past with Tina out. Please don’t let her run away from Tina now. Tina obviously wants to be with her and isn’t mad about what happened. Waiting for the next one. PPS :)
Final Part 1!? So I take it there are going to be a lot more parts before this ends? Right? I think this story has a lot more to it…
I’m sorry to read that this is part of the final chapter. I was hoping you would continue on. Have really loved the story as Alice and Dana crack me up.
This is very interesting. I hope that Bette will remember and go back to L.A. and talk to Tina. Thank you PPS
you can’t end this there is so much more… wow tina got bashed. bette blocked out the whole thing, look out when she finally remembers… tina really needs to go see her and talk!!! :)
Hope the final means you are writing a sequel to this story. Looking forward to more.
This is an awesome story. I don’t thin you shoud end it any time soon. PPS. Thanks for taking the time.
Damn.
There seems to be a lot that Bette is forgetting or is she forgetting it???? Maybe there are some things we don’t know about Ms. Porter. I hope that Tina can be there for Bette because she may be the only one who can reach her.
