You hurt me, I hear Tinas voice and turn to face her. Before the affairbefore the miscarriageyou hurt me. She turns back around and sits on the couch. At that moment, I feel something on my cheeka single tear. I look at Alice, her eyes are filled with sympathythen I turn and leave.

I thankfully make it to my car before the flood gates open, but once inside all bets are off. I begin to weep uncontrollably. Ive never cried like this before.not when we lost the babyor when Tina walked outI sit here in my car crying until the sky grows dark and the stars come out. What brought these feelingsthese deepburied emotions out? Was it facing Tina? The strain it put on memy feelings? Or was it Tinatelling me how I hurt her? She said before the miscarriagewhat did I do to hurt her before we lost the baby? I eventually compose myself and gather enough resolve to go homealoneto an empty house.

Pulling into the driveway, I see a figure on the front steps. Who could that be? I step out of the car and walk toward the door, coming closer to the figure.

How could you to it Bette? I hear Shanes voice.

Look Shane, Im not in the mood right now I begin as I walk past her to the door. I just came from seeing Tinaand I dont have it in me to talk any more.

Then listen! Shes angry. Why is she angry? Dana and Alice didnt seem this angry with me. Tinas the only one who has a right to feel that way. I unlock the door and enter the house. Walking straight to the kitchen for some water, I leave the lights offuntil Shane flips the switch. I hear the door close as I reach for a glass. Turning to fill it, I notice the picture on the counter. I brought some glass home with me tonight. Ill fix it after Shane leaves. I gulp the water down trying to steal myself for the impending onslaught of questions.

Bette, you have to answer for what you did.
