Chapter Nine: Part One

"Hey guys, she’s waking up! Somebody go get a nurse," Kit ordered. She looked in between her sister’s flickering eyes and the group of friends scattered around the room.

Shane jumped up and quickly exited the room. Seconds later she returned, a surprised nurse in tow. She approached the bed and peered down at Bette.

Bette squinted in the bright white light, her head was throbbing and her throat was dry. She felt terrible. She dampened her lips and tried her best to look around the room but had no success. There was a hand in her right and she squeezed it, hoping that it would be Tina’s.

"Bette, look up at me please?" The nurse asked.

She tilted her head back and looked up at the nurse, she shone a torch into Bette’s dark eyes before pulling back and turning to the others in the room. Bette closed her eyes and waited for what she was going to say.

"She seems OK, she’ll have to be kept under careful observation though, this could pass," The nurse waved her hand in Bette’s direction, "Come and get me if there are any problems," She smiled and left.

Bette turned and watched Kit carefully. She seemed to be happy that she was awake but she could also see a scared, worried, glint in her eyes. Bette swallowed and closed her eyes once she felt the tears forming. She just knew that was happening, but she felt she had to ask.

"Where is Tina?" Bette croaked.

The room seemed to fall into a deadly silence. Kit tightened her grip around Bette’s hand and sighed loudly. Bette tilted her head to the side and watched her with worried eyes.

"Bette, she’s OK. She’s at home,"

Bette sighed with relief and chuckled, the others frowned and looked between each other curiously.

"Why am I here?" Bette asked.

"Well, it’s a long story." Dana jumped in.

Bette narrowed her eyes a little, "Well I’m not going anywhere."

Dana and Kit exchanged glances before beginning the story about how Bette got into hospital.
