It was her neighbor, Mrs. Caroll.

”Oh, child…” The elderly woman whispered, having pretty much the same concerned look as Kit. ”You fainted, an ambulance will be here in a few minutes”

Kit shook her head. ”She hadn’t been answering my calls for three days, I knew she needed some time alone… But I would’ve come here earlier if I knew she was that bad” She spoke to Mrs. Caroll.

”What could have brought her in such state? She looks like she haven’t been eating for weeks” The woman said, reaching out for a glass of water and bringing it close to Bette’s mouth.

Kit looked down at Bette then back at Mrs. Caroll. ”I’ll tell you later”

”Honey, please drink some water…” Mrs. Caroll pleaded, when Bette began to turn away from the glass.

”Bette, drink the water, you must be dehydrated” Kit said, wishing for Bette to stop fussing in her arms. ”Don’t move, sis, you’re too weak”

”Get off your hands of me” Bette snarled all of sudden, her voice frail and hoarse, but still demanding. She tried to rise up from her slouching position, struggling against Kit’s hold. From standing up too sharp her head started to swim, causing her to lean on one of the nearest wooden columns for support.

Both Kit and Mrs. Caroll shook their heads at the stubborn young woman.

”How the fuck did you get in here?” The brunette asked them petulantly, rubbing her temples.

”I came here, I knocked, but you weren’t opening the door, so I asked Mrs. Caroll to open your apartment. She has a spare key, remember? You haven’t been answering to my calls for three days, I was worried. Shane and Helena are worried too, they said you don’t talk to them too…” Kit explained quickly.

”Your television was shaking the walls, I was planning to come over anyways” Mrs. Caroll stated further. ”When was the last time you ate, Bette?”

Bette’s head was about to explode. Too many fucking words, too many fucking obnoxious people around here…

”Get out” She said plainly.

”Bette-” The elder woman began, but was interrupted by Kit’s more forceful voice.

”Are you kidding me? Bette, we’re going nowhere, we’re staying here and waiting for the doctors. You need a checkup!”
