She looks up at me with her tear stained face and swollen eyes… “Together…” she speaks weakly…

“Yes, together…”

“Do you think you need some counselor to talk about the accident?” We will need a counselor to help Bette through her fear from the accident, her insecurities… maybe I should get myself one too as I saw her lifeless body being pushed into the ER operation room.

She nodded weakly. I know she’s determined to get this over with and we can move on with our life… together… happily.

Bette joins in a Post Traumatic Stress Disorder group. There they voluntarily talk about their traumatic events, after listening to some of the other even worst events, Bette feel sorry for the others and silently thankful for Tina who she has been so luckily to have found after her traumatic accident.

“What is the worst aspect of the event? What is your reaction to it?”

“Not being able to take control of the wheel anymore and losing my sight… I feel helpless when I’m not in control of something, I might as well give up and let go.” She gave up her life during the accident, but when she’d survived but lost her sight, she almost let go of Tina as well.

“What were your thoughts when you were in that event… share it with us… Bette?”

The accident flash through her mind, she close her eyes and wince in pain for a little while recalling the accident… “Great pain coursing through my body… my life started to flash through my mind… I knew I had nothing left in my life and couldn’t do anything about that accident anymore… I let go… and gave up… embracing death.”

Bette lifts up her head to look at the others in the group who still looking expectantly at her to continue her talk. Right then, a certain angelic blonde pop up in her mind, smiling beautifully and lovingly at her, Bette feel warm blood rushing through her heart, warm her up inside out… “Now I’ve found the most important thing in life, my true love… I’ll not give up and let go of my life or her easily anymore…”
