Before the Fall – Ten
Before the Fall
by: Speed_Racer
Stretched out on a lounger beside her pool staring blankly into the distance Bette could hear Shane and Carmen in the kitchen making breakfast.
She hadn’t been in the mood for food. Hadn’t been in the mood to do much of anything other than lay in bed and process. Except that hadn’t happened, because Shane had knocked on her door around ten and demanded that she get up.
Something Shane would have never said to her normally. In fact Shane wouldn’t have been in the house at all. She didn’t like people staying the night at her house, be it friends or some random woman. And she certainly wouldn’t have let Shane anywhere near her kitchen to cook breakfast.
Sighing she rubbed her hands together feeling suddenly chilled to the bone.
Her mind was a mess. Emotions stormed around inside of her never staying long enough for her the grasp onto. The memories that had rushed through her head last night were an even bigger puzzle.
The pieces didn’t fit.
She could see the scenes but couldn’t get the emotions behind them.
She had been trying to sort out the images but none of it made sense and she was certain that she hadn’t gotten everything back.
Her head was killing her and she wanted a bottle of Jack Daniels to ease the pain. It wouldn’t be the first time she’d eased her ailments with alcohol, but considering all the medication she was on that wouldn’t be a good idea. The last thing she needed was winding up back in the hospital getting her stomach pumped because she’d mixed booze and pills.
With a sigh she struggled to her feet and made her way back inside. She raised her brows when she found Shane making out with Carmen against the counter.
“Don’t let me interrupt,” Bette said managing a small smile as she eased her way through the kitchen headed back to her room. She really needed to be alone.
“Bette…” Shane began slowly easing back from Carmen.
“Just let me know when breakfast is ready,” was all Bette said ignoring Carmen’s embarrassed face and Shane’s sheepish grin.
Reaching the safety of her room she sat down on her bed and grabbed Helena’s cell phone. She brought it up to listen to another message but stopped herself.
