Chapter 3

Bette was woken up to the loud ringing of her phone she
looked at the clock and saw it was 4am who was calling her at this time she
wondered she picked up the phone and what she heard was not expected.

Dr. Bradley: “Bette porter?”

Bette:  “yes that’s me”

Dr. Bradley: “hi I’m Dr. Bradley I have a Tina Kennard with
me you were on her emergency contact number.”

Bette: “hi what’s going on?” panic started to set in

Dr. Bradley: “I have Tina here she was found lying in the
street in a pool of blood we are doing tests now she is in a critical state but
we will do are best can you please get to the hospital asap”

Bette: “I will be there in 10 minutes thank you for calling
me”

Dr. Bradley: “thank you Miss Porter sees you in a short
while goodbye”

Bette putdown the phone and picked her sleeping son up and
asked the neighbours if they could look after him they said that was no problem
and Bette was speeding towards the hospital in her BMW.

Bette ran into the hospital and asked to see Tina they let
her in right away and she ran in grabbing onto Tina’s arm and sobbing loudly whispering
“don’t leave me I only just found you”

About five minutes later a young female doctor walked in who
Bette assumed to be Dr. Bradley she checked Tina’s life support machine and
then walked towards Bette.

Dr.Bradley: “hi I’m Dr. Bradley I spoke to you on the phone

Bette: “yes I remember nice to meet you it’s a shame it’s in
this situation”

Dr. Bradley: “yes I agree, we have done some tests on Miss Kennard
and we believe she may have been attacked. We have noticed her body is pretty
badly damaged for example her body is covered in bruises and burns also it
looks like she was run over.”

Bette: “oh my god will she be ok promise me she will be ok”

Dr. Bradley: “I’m sorry miss porter but I don’t think she
will make it she has some extremely serious injuries.”

Bette starts sobbing louder when she hears this, dr Bradley tells
Bette she will be back later to give Tina some more medication.  Bette sits there sobbing and praying wondering
what to do now she decides to go and get a cup of coffee from the café. As she
sits there nursing her coffee she sees a woman who looks extremely familiar as
the woman turns around she realises it is Shane holding that hand of a young
child and wonders who the child is. The girl looks about 5 years old Bette
believe has curly brunette hair just like herself and looked mixed race, the
girl certainly had a resemblance to a young Bette.

As Bette walked back into Tina’s room she was thinking about
Shane and the young girl and why they were here. Bette walked in the door and
she wasn’t expecting what happened next she saw the young girl sitting on Shane’s
lap and asking if her mommy would be ok. So this young girl must have been Tina’s
daughter but why did she look so much like herself Bette wanted answers maybe
she should ask Shane but maybe Shane hated her for leaving Tina everyone else
did. She walked out the door before Shane saw her and sat in the waiting room
before hearing a heart monitor alarm going off in the direction of Tina’s room.
