Kit stop laughing now feeling guilty about the way she had treated her.

Kit: I don’t know, I guess I was just jealous of all the attention daddy was showing you and how he completely ignored the fact that I was even on the trip with you guys.

Bette looked out the rear view mirror at Kit and saw the sadness in her eyes.

Bette: That’s not true Kit, he wasn’t ignoring you.

Kit: Oh he wasn’t huh? When you caught a fish he helped you reel it in…when I caught one he just said ”good job Katie”.

Kit said mocking Melvin’s voice.

Bette: I think you were just looking too much into it Kit.

Kit: oh Bette stop taking up for him, please.

Bette: I’m not taking up for him Kit, I’m just saying you always seen what you wanted to see…

Bette had her eyes focus on Kit that she didn’t see the figure standing in the middle of the street holding up her hands for her to STOP.

Bette: you never took the chance to try and connect with him…

Bette’s kept talking but her words were cut short when all of a sudden Kit yelled in the back seat.

Kit: BETTE LOOK OUT!!!

Bette looked at the woman standing in front of the car and quickly turn the wheel to avoid her, only to have the car spin around in a few circles making a loud screeching noise causing everyone to jump up immediately. She held control of the car bringing it to a hard stop.

Tina: What the fuck Bette!

Bette’s heart pound so hard you could see her chest rising and falling through her shirt. Her hands were still attach to the steering wheel shaking uncontrollably as she looked on in shock.

Alice: Did we hit something?

Kit: We don’t know, Bette and I were talking when all of a sudden this woman appeared out of nowhere.

Tina: Shit Bette do you think we hit her?

Bette didn’t answer she just continued staring in space out the front window.

Shane: Come on guys let’s take a look!

Everyone jumped out the car except Tina who was busy trying to get Bette to come back to life.

Tina: Babe it’s ok, we’re all fine…it was an accident.

Bette finally turned her head towards Tina with tears in her eyes.

Bette: Tina?

Tina: Yes baby I’m ok, are you hurt?

Bette didn’t speak just shook her head no.

Tina: It’s over now Bette, come on we’ve got to make sure we didn’t hit anyone.

Bette: What was she doing standing out there like that?

Bette spoke in a soft voice.

Tina: I don’t know but we are about to find out ok, come here.

Tina pulled Bette into a hug and kissed her on the top of her head hoping and praying that nobody was seriously hurt. They get out the car and walked over to the rest of the gang who were all standing in the middle of the street huddle over a woman wearing a white dress laying on the ground with her eyes closed.

Bette: Fuck!
