Chapter 5
The ladies woke the next day and quickly got going. Shane left to find decent coffee while Tina and Alice attempted to give Tina some kind of shower.
“So Tina, what’s with the eye patch? Can we take it off?”
Tina paused.
“Well Al, the doctor said I could take it off and they were pretty sure it’ll be fine. They did a lot of tests, but shit Al it looks really bad.”
“Okay, that sounds like good news. What do you say we have a look?”
Tina hesitated but gave Alice a shy smile.
They stood together near the bathroom sink and began to carefully remove the bandage over Tina’s eye. As they looked at Tina’s eye Alice made a sad face and commented.
“Oh shit T, thank god you were hammered when this happened.”
“Me too, Al. Me too.”
“You know Tina, the swelling and the bruising is a lot better today. Except for the green and yellow coloring it really looks better.”
“Yeah, it does look a little better. Shit Al…let’s get away from the mirror.”
“Okay, time to get dressed. I bought some sweats and t-shirts when I was out yesterday. I’ll get you something and we can get you dressed.”
“Thanks Al”
They carefully dressed Tina and Alice asked.
“Tina does it hurt.”
Tina smiled down at her loving friend as she was putting on her sock for her.
“Al, it’s not so bad. I have the pain killers and really the only thing that hurts a lot are my ribs.”
“Shit, you didn’t mention ribs.”
“They’ll heal. Just a few cracked ribs. C’mon…help me with this t shirt.”
“Tina, how can you be so fucking calm about all this. Why aren’t you mad or I don’t know, cowering in a corner somewhere.”
Tina looked at Alice and thought for a minute.
“You know Al I hadn’t really thought about that, but I guess as fucked up as I am right now…it’s probably better than I’ve been in over 2 years…or more…I’ve been on this horrible downward cycle since I lost my son, and I kind of feel…I don’t know… thankful…and with and Shane here…I feel safe and loved…”
“Wow Tina you are easy.”
The ladies laughed as Alice helped Tina into the Living room.

I love the last scenario-all the girls in bed together like old times really. I am looking foward to the next update. Keep ’em coming.
BTW, I added u to my favorite authors, clap! clap!
i love this story. dont think i read anything else of yours tho. glad your a quick poster tho. ok time to bring bette into the story please. thanks
you’ve made Alice and Shane into good medicine ;-)
Love the way Shane and Alice are taking care of Tina. Real friendship there.
Dazed, thank you, thank you, thank you for not having Bette and Jodie together. Oh, yeah, I forget about skanky Candace. Good riddence to both of them. I cant wait to see everyones reaction when Tina is back in L.A. Will Bette be her stubborn self? Probably. I cant wait for the next update.
Love your story.PPS
Thanks for the new chapters. I loved relaxing to them after work. I was itching to know how Bette was as well. Glad to know they are both doing better.
I think Tina’s going to be okay. She’s got backup now. Hopefully the guy that did that to Tina doesn’t come looking for her, and has no further claim to be in her life. Bette, though… who knows how she’ll react? Thanks for posting, DnA. :)
Glad you brought us up to date with Bette. Also good to know she’s single. Can’t wait for more. PPS
Hey D&A, What is so wonderful about this tale is the continued friendship between these gals. It has endured some real tough times.With Alice and Shane’s support Tina is getting back to her true self.The physical injuries will fade quickly however the emotional ones are still there and need to be cared for too.This is why Tina has to go home to LA and face her demons. This includes Bette because Tina has to sort things out properly then Bette and Tina can discover what is left of their relationship and what is worth saving.I hope that they can find each other again because they are incomplete without one another. I think that the last couple of years have proved this.I am so happy with these frequent posts.Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Wow you are fast. Another great chapter. I’m glad to hear Bette isn’t bouncing from woman to woman. It really makes you think just how bad they screwed it up. One colossal mistake. Thanks more please.
Anoter excellent update. Thank you.
Fantastic chapter. It gave me some of the answers I’ve been seeking. Good to know that Bette isn’t seeing anyone. Just wonder how Bette will react to Tina being back in town when she decides to re-surface. Can hardly wait for the next chapter. Thanks for posting.
