I know, Marissa whispered, tears flooding her eyes.

Even if I have to go to every Melissa Etheridge, K.D. Lang, and Indigo Girls concert or if you decide to take up building houses or something. ***** even if you get a mullet, Summer joked.

Well I doubt you need to worry about the mullet, but its good to know youll stick with me if I fall prey to any ***** stereotypes, Marissa dryly commented.

Well thats what friends are for, Summer chirped, glad to lessen the tension. Alright as much as I hate to break away from your problems, I need your advise.

Marissa smirked, Seth or Zack?

Exactly! Summer exhaled, clearly annoyed. God, its like no matter what I do I can not get Seth Cohen out of my head. Hes like a tumor or something. No wait thats exactly what he is, a tumor. A whiney, boat riding, bitchy tumor that flees town when things seem to be looking up that is killing the common sense section of my brain.

Outside the room

What do you need Shane? Bette asked a little confused.

Like I said I need a favor. I have to find this girl and I need some help, Shane explained resting on her couch.

Why dont you get Alice, Dana or T.Tina to help you? Bette stuttered unaccustomed to the pain her ex lovers name brought.

Cause I wanted you to, Shane sighed as though it made perfect sense. Are you seriously going to make me say please?

Okay, okay, Ill be there in a half hour, Bette smiled.

Thanks, Shane laughed then hung up the phone.

Bette chuckled slightly at her friends phone habits. In the entire time she had known her, she had never said bye before hanging up the phone.

Placing the phone on the hook, Bette went to the T.V. and turned it off. After Tina had left, she was constantly leaving on the T.V. or radio. It wasnt as though she was watching any of it. The sound however distracted her from the oppressive silence the house had adopted.

Momentarily frozen, Bettes mind flashed to what it would be like had their child survived. She could almost see Tina rocking a child by the window. Suddenly the hallucination ended and the only thing near the window was a forgotten plant.
