Shane, youre hurting. I know you are, but you got to let go of the past. Shane looked at Alice and looked out the window. Alice backed out of the space and drove off.

Bette was getting ready for her date with Tina. She was giving herself last minute checks in the mirror. She was walking out of the bathroom when the phone rings. She walked over to the phone and picked it up.

Hello?

Hey, its Tina.

I was waiting for your call, and I cant wait to see you.

Ummmabout that. Im sorry Bette, but not tonight. Bettes face drops. Oh ok.

Maybe we can see each other tomorrow, at The Planet. Around one o clock.

Shane was in her room, watching TV. She had a knock on her door. Come in. The door opened, and Jenny walks in.

Hey. Shane sat up and rubbed her eye.

Hey. How are you feeling?

Im good. UmmJenny, I wanted to tell you Im sorry for being a nuisance these last few days. And Im sorry that you had to see me like that.

Its alright. Its behind us now. Im just glad youre ok. Jenny wiped a tear from her eye. Shane patted the spot next to her. Jenny walked over to Shanes bed and sat down. Shane wrapped her arm around her. Jenny grabbed Shanes hand and kissed it.

Thank you for this Jenny.

For what?

For this house, this room, this bed. This is something I havent had in a long time.

You are most definitely welcome. Shane kissed Jennys head and kept watching TV. They slowly started to dose off. Someone was knocking on the door.

Yeah. They both sat up and stretched. The door opened, and Carmen came in. I was wondering where Jenny was. So I see youre okay. UmmI notice you guys are busy. So Ill just leave. Carmen started to leave, but Shane got up off her bed. Carmen, can I talk to you?

Sure. They walked out of her room and closed the door.

Bette was sitting in shallow part of the pool. She finished off the bottle of wine and threw in her yard. She fell backwards and waded in the pool. Kit walked into her sisters house.

Bette, are you here? Hello? Kit came outside to see her baby sis in the pool, in her clothes. What are you doing out here? Bette didnt say a word, but kept moving around the pool. Bette answer me. Whats going on? Bette got up and walked out of the pool. Tina stood me up. She wanted to see me tonight, but shes with that monster. She sat down on one of her lawn chairs. Kit was starting to sit down when she the empty wine bottle.

Bette, what are you doing? Dont do this. Dont become like me. An old lush.

I always told Tina I would never hurt you or lie to you. But I fucked that up and now, I really wish I could go back into time and change everything. Bette started to lie back and being to sob. Cmon baby sis, its time to get you in bed. Kit walked over to Bette and pulled her up.

I really did believe she wanted to see me, but it was all a lie. Shes getting back from what I did to her. Kit, you know how sorry I am. I want everything to go back again. Kit slowly gets her sister into her room. Kit tries to calm Bette down and lays her down on her bed. Im sorry, so sorry. Kit moves Bettes hair out of her face. Shhhhits ok. Everythings going to be fine. Kit tries to comfort Bette through her pain. She sat there and waited until her baby sister went to sleep.
