Before the Fall – Four
She’d spoken to her friends a few times but had not made the effort to do it on a regular basis. She really had been trying to move on and that meant distancing herself from the group as a whole not just Bette.
“I’m not so callous,” Helena said stiffly.
“Well thanks for coming,” Shane said just as stiffly and sat back down.
Helena nodded.
“I believe I have someone’s coffee,” she said after a beat.
“Hey Helena. Kit, hi,” Laura said as she rose to her feet and took the cup from Helena’s hand. She gave her a one armed hug. Then turned to Kit.
Carmen rose to her feet too and gave Kit a quick hug taking her coffee and nodded to Helena.
Helena sighed to herself and took a seat against the wall facing the women.
“How is she?” Helena asked.
“Well she’s in surgery right now,” Alice said bluntly.
Helena glanced at the floor and kept her gaze there.
“What for? How the hell did this happen?” Kit demanded. “And who gave them permission to perform surgery? I’m her only next of kin it should have been me.”
Alice held up a hand.
“Whoa. Kit you live in Philly, okay? What good would you be living that far away? Bette gave me power of attorney, okay? That way if she needed surgery, which she did, we wouldn’t have to wait for you to get in from Philly. As for what happened I don’t know. She and some guy got into an accident earlier in the morning. It was… Apparently the guy drove head long into the driver’s side and Bette took the brunt of it.”
“And the surgery she needed,” Shane continued as Alice fell silent. “She’s got some broken bones, but they were worried about the impact on her brain. They’re doing surgery to relieve some of the swelling around her brain. They’ve been at it for awhile now.”
“What sort of broken bones?” Helena asked.
“Well they said she fractured her…um left tibia. And they think she fractured her right wrist too, and maybe some ribs,” Shane said.
“Was she drinking?” Kit asked abruptly. “Was she drivin’ around drunk? Is she going to be arrested?”
“Kit calm down,” Helena said quickly seeing how upset Kit was becoming.

Very interesting, indeed. So it appears that the amnesia has triggered some truth in Bette. How will she respond to Tina?
