Jenny walked into the office with a folder in her hand. She walked to Bette’s desk and handed it to her.

"This is the contract for the New York reporters?" Bette asked.

Jenny’s jaw clenched slightly but she kept her cool, "yes."

"Thank you," Bette said, "I’ll be calling from the meeting so you can talk with Tina’s friend Mark."

Jenny nodded, then turned on her heel to leave. She was about to storm out when she stopped. Bette looked at her, waiting for her to speak.

"She’s been a mess since you left ya know."

Bette sighed deeply. There were so many ideas and emotions swirling through her body she didn’t know what to do. And to top it off anytime she was around Tina she felt a deep need for her. It was something she couldn’t control.

What if what Dana said about Tina really being in love her was true? What if she walked out on the love of her life without giving her a chance to even explain herself?

"She lost everything," Jenny continued, "her savings and investments all gone because she had to buy more alcohol and more drugs."

"Drugs and alcohol?" Bette said in surprise.

"Richard got a call from Dana a while back," Jenny said, "she told him that Tina had stormed out of her house really faded and that she was scared."

"Faded?" Bette said gulping. No way. Tina was drunk and high at the same time? Why would she do that to herself?

"Richard found her in an alley not too far from Dana’s place," Jenny said, "barely alive."

Bette gulped.

"She’s been working really hard in rehab and this campaign," Jenny said, "don’t ruin it."

"What?" Bette scoffed.

"You’re the reason she hit rock bottom Bette, are you really so dense to not see how much she loves you?" Jenny said, "as much as I hate you and hurts me that I love someone who can never love me back that’s reality."

Bette could only blink not knowing what to say.

"You may be all glossed up now but you’re still the same little ugly girl," Jenny said.

"I…was never ugly."

Jenny turned around to face her with an eyebrow raised.

Bette stood up confidently, "I let Tasha talk me into giving me this make over because I wanted to feel good about myself. And when they were done I realized that those girls didn’t change anything but clothes and hair. I can wear glasses and still be pretty. I can have retainers and still be pretty. I didn’t change my face or my body. This is who I am. This is the girl that was hidden underneath all those mix-matched ugly clothes and bottle cap glasses."
