I Fall Behind pt.13
“It’s no problem baby sis.” Kit paused, not sure how
to aks the next question. “Listen… Bette, have you been taking your
medicine?”
“My crazy pills?” Bette laughed drily. Kit frowned.
“I take them Kit. Don’t worry. I just… felt something… something in
my stomach. I don’t know what it is. It might be indigestion.” Another
weak laugh. “I wasn’t feeling well so I left work. It’s no big deal.
I’ll call James after my shower. Don’t worry.”
Kit waited until Bette was in the shower before
quietly letting herself out. In the hallway, she dialed Alice’s number.

Dana watched her girlfriend pacing. When Alice
paced, it was best to stay out of her path. Her path usually went
around a small concentric orbit around the coffee table, so Dana sat on
the floor a couple of feet away.
When Alice finally plopped down on the sofa, looking
drawn, Dana got up and sat beside her. She took one of Alice’s small
strong hands and cradled it against her cheek.
“I love you, you know?” Dana spoke against the back of Alice’s hand.
Drawn from her dark ruminations, Alice smiled at the
light of her lover’s eyes. “I know. I love you.” They sat like that for
some minutes, drawing love.
“Come on then. Let’s go get Tina.”
Smiling in surprise, Alice got up and followed Dana out the door.
*****
Back at Bette’s, it was quiet save for the sound of
one woman picking apart the remnants of dreams. That morning, Bette had
woken up imagining the sun shone for her alone. Then, reality came and
knocked her out of the spotlight.
“I had almost forgotten,” Bette muttered to herself.
She was sitting on the couch, the bottle of vodka on the floor near her
foot. She didn’t want to touch it. She just wanted it to be ready in
case the pain became too great and she needed an attack of
self-inflicted amnesia.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. Bette
closed her eyes tight, suddenly overwhelmingly angry. “Can’t I have one
goddamn day to myself?!” She screeched. “Can’t a woman have a nervous
breakdown in peace?!” She screamed. She started laughing
uncontrollably. Then she was crying. When the knocking didn’t stop, she
leapt up, ran to the door and yanked it open.

Bette is really ill. I’m so sorry for my earlier flippancy. BTW “True Colors” – great song! check out ‘The Body Acoustic’, Cyndi Lauper’s new album. It’s great! Amazon has it (hint). Thanks for moving this story from the surreal to the sublime. Tina as Judy Holiday, the hooker with the heart of gold.
