She ran back to her car to retrieve her mobile phone. She placed a call to the emergency services and against her better judgement climbed down the ravine to check on the victim.
She called out to her but got no response. When she finally approach her she realised that she was unconscious, her hair was covering her face. She brushed it careful to the side to take a look at her face. She was very pale almost angelic. Bette felt for a pulse, a reflex, something you see on TV, her skin was soft. She felt overcome with sadness at the scene she was witnessing and started crying.
When the Emergency services arrived, she gave them the small details she had and before she knew it they had the woman removed from the scene and on route to hospital.
The paramedics made sure Bette was alright and at her request told her the name of the hospital the woman would be brought to.
She was about to start the climb back to her car when she saw the necklace glistening in the dirt. It had almost been buried when the heavy boots of the paramedics had trampled all over it. She lifted it and placed it in her pocket. She would call by the hospital in the hope of returning the necklace to its owner. She felt her stomach tightened at the thought that this woman, a complete stranger, might die. The scene around her certainly screamed desperate hope for her survival. She would have to make sure for herself that she had made it. She would call at the hospital the next day.
Two weeks on, her planned single visit had taken a different turn. Her first visit had been granted on the basis of her discovery of the scene of the accident and that she only wanted to satisfy herself of the well being of the woman. But as time went on she was allowed at her request to visit the patient as she remained unidentified and in such never received any visitors.
To date she had been her only visitor. Doctors started sharing medical information with Bette as they now regarded her as the only "family" Jane Doe, as she was now called, possessed. They had given little or no attention to the necklace that Bette had in her possession. It could have been anyone’s. But Bette had hung on to the belief that it was hers and as such had taken to calling her "T".
Police progress had been slow and the severity of the accident had been such that forensics had been called to investigate the wreckage. So far no clue had come forward as to the identity of the victim.
Bette prepared to leave her office and make her usual stop over at the hospital to visit her "T". She had got used to doing it everyday and was very much looking forward to it.
The doctors had encouraged her to speak to her when visiting just as you would with a normal wakened person.
Bette usually sat in the room and talked about her day. She had shared with her, the organisation of her latest art exhibit and had detailed some of the most beautiful pieces to her. At first, she felt odd but she soon relaxed and this was almost a cathartic experience. She felt very close to the woman.
She arrived at the hospital and made her way to the room. Nothing much had changed, the same quiet beeping noises, the low lighting, she was positioned differently in the bed and her hospital gown had been changed.
Bette took a seat by the bed and started her one sided conversation but tonight she unconsciously reached and took her hand in hers, her thumb rubbing gently on the top careful not to disturb the IV drip.

Sooo this is a new story?:)) Another version, parallel? Like it! Please update soon!
Okay, got it now. Thanks for the answers. Brillant!!! Although I wish the events in the previous chapters had “really” existed. But if you think about it, if they had existed, everything would probably have turned out the same way, since Tina’s vision of Bette is based on the “real” Bette talking to her (and about her) on a daily basis. At least that’s the way I see it… Can’t wait to see what will happen when “T” wakes up (Love that everybody calls her Jane Doe when Bette is the only one calling her T. Good one there, K!) Anyway, thanks a lot for this very enlightening chapter!
OMG… what a story… loving it… and thanks for answering some of our questions… pps
Fantastic twist! Love the way you’ve created Tina’s memory. Can’t wait to see where you’re taking us.
Okay, so I was way off. And that’s okay too, because I love this story.
Very interesting… thanks for posting!
Very intriguing! Love it!
What an original story! Loving it so much. Thanks for clarifying some issues.
I must be dense…because I don’t get it. The previous chapters don’t exist?? This is the beginning?? I still don’t understand….not to be confused with me not enjoying it. I’m just not sure what’s going on and where in the story we are. Thanks.
Okay got it now. What an original way for a B&T beginning. Can´t wait to see how it unfolds.
Wow… I am in awe!! :-)
This is interesting and like it!
Hi kins, fabulous twists and turns as you reveal little by little of this story. BB, was right on the money with her suggestions about htis great adventure. I do hope that there is some prophetic nature to Tina’s coma dreams as Dana and Bette have become so much of her life there. As for Bette, there is a real sense of sadness and loss about her. Her intervention at the accident has opened up this new world to her. I am sure that Tina’s identify will be discovered sonn however that does not mean a whole raft of friends and family will descend on her hospital room. Some people tread very lightly on this planet so it could just be some work colleagues that are her only additional visitors. And depending how long this coma endures may only visit once or twice. I do hoep for some signs of improvement in Tina’s condition soon. Kins you have written a beautiful and tender romance. long may it continue. Many thanks from Your Loyal Fan.
Great story,love it.Thank you very much for the update.
So Tina is living in her unconscious mind..I didn’t see this…wow!
There are several ways to identify the owner of the car, even if it did burn. The vehicle id numbers are stamped into the metal in several places and those numbers can be traced to the registered owner of the car. Even if it was a rental, the rental company would know who they leased the car to, thereby giving us an identy of the person. And there are always Tina’s fingerprints which are taken at birth and any time in her adult life that she might have been registered or bonded for things. Fingerprints NEVER change even if you burn them off, they will grow back and NO two people have the same fingerprint, even twins and such. Everyone is different. So there are numerous ways to have an identy of her, if someone would just try.
