As Shane had yelled at Bette she had noticed Bette’s face begin to
pale, by the time Shane had finished her verbal beating Bette was ghost
like in appearance. There was no emotion in her eyes. *****. What did I
do? Shane thought as she started to speak.

 ”Bette I’m sorry I” Shane reached out to touch Bette’s arm.

“Don’t touch me,” Bette responded in a lifeless whisper. “You aren’t
her. I need her. She’s gone! Don’t touch me.” Shane heard Bette’s plea
but instead of listening she tried to wrap Bette in her lanky arms.
Bette shoved Shane away and yelled, “Don’t ***** touch me!”

Shane had seen a lot of things in her short life, but the look in
Bette’s eyes truly scared her. It was primal. Bette looked like a
scared, cornered animal filled with rage. Suddenly tears began to pour
from Bette’s eyes as a desperate scream left her lungs and she began to
throw everything in her sight.

Shane was in shock as she watched Bette smash everything in the room.
She finally snapped out of her trance as Bette put her fist through the
large mirror hanging on the wall. Blood was now gushing out of Bette’s
arm, but she didn’t seem to care as she picked up her laptop and threw
it out the front window.

“Bette!” Shane screamed. “You’re hurt. Calm down. Calm down.” She
whispered as she restrained Bette’s arms. “Calm down. It’s gonna be
okay man. I promise.”

*****End of Flashback*****

“Shane” Tina was now sobbing in the bathroom of the Planet. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

“I didn’t know how. You were both sobroken. I called Kit and she came
over to help. Kit had to take Bette home with her because she refused
to stay in the house without you.” Shane explained. “Twhen I leftshe
was still whispering “she’s gone” over and over on the floor just
hanging on to Kit. I’ve never seen anything like it.”

As Tina took in Shane’s final words her body began to shake with
emotion as she sank to the floor. “Oh my god. Oh my god. My baby’s
hurting.” Tina began to chant as her crying increased.

Shane wrapped Tina’s tiny frame into a hug and whispered into her ear, “It’s going to be okay. I promise.”

“Shane. I can’t do this anymore. I can’t live without her.” Tina looked
at Shane desperately, “But I don’t know how to forget what happened.”
