The party came to an end and all they wished good night. Bette drove to her empty house opening the door. It was dark and quiet, just like in her soul. She switched the lights and walked through the house. After the shower she put her Pj,s and went to bed. Tossing and turning all night, she had slept not more than 2 hours.

“Good morning” Tina said walking in “The Planet”. The girls were already there, like usually around the table in the corner.

“Hello lover girl…how was it last night?” Alice asked…

“I’m sure that I’m not going to see him again…but who cares…” Tina said matter of fact.

“That’s my girl…” Shane gave her high five.

“Hey…where’s Porter?” Tina looked around…

“Probable still sleeping…” Alice mumbled…

“Hum…strange. She’s usually first in here…” Tina said taking her place.

 “She’s on her way…” A voice came behind them…

“Kit….omg…you’re back!” Tina hugged the older Porter….”How was the tour?”

“Boring….how is the life?” Kit asked

“Boring…” They answered in one voice.

“Hey…guess what…Alice and Dana are getting married!” Tina said pointing at Dana’s ring…

“Guilty…!” They said getting up and hugging Kit…

………………………….

Bette made her way in the café finding her friends around the usual table.

“Hey Porter you are late…” Alice said, and then she noticed the dark circles around her eyes…”What knocked you down…”

Bette just glared at her…

“Wow…never mind…” Alice backed off…

Kit walked next to the table placing her hand on Bette’s shoulder…

“Helloo baby sis…” she said…nice to see you live and kicking…”

Bette jumped off hugging her older sister…”How long you’re staying? Why didn’t you call me….?”

“Hey…hey…take it easy…I’m here to stay actually…and I was wondering if I can stay with you?”

“You know the answer is always yes…you don’t have to ask me such a thing…” Bette smiled. At least she wouldn’t be alone anymore.

Tina looked at her watch…”I got to go…I have um…meeting! Bye guys. She hugged all of them except for Bette. Bette felt hurt of that, but decide to let it go. Tina was probable still affected from last night. Alice’s word came back in her head…”…she’s in love with you…are you blind…” She wasn’t blind, no, not at all, but the thought of loosing Tina over this relationship thing was terrifying her. They were incompatible. Tina was calm and well-balanced person and Bette was self-centered control freak. What kind of life that would be….
