Bette’s body had gone numb. She watched silently and counted the mere 17 people that had shown up to pay their final respects to one of the world’s most altruistic people.
Tina: Babe? Are you ok?
Bette nodded.
She was trying to feel something. Anything. She knew sadness was the appropriate emotion but anger prevailed. How could someone, who touched so many lives, be laid to rest with only a handful of people here to witness it? Bette would never understand. Her eyes gazed out at the few people who stood to place their single red roses on the mahogany coffin. It would be her turn soon. When she felt Tina’s hand on her lower back Bette rose. Wobbly and nervous she walked to the head of the line. Nervously she cleared her throat.
Bette: If everyone can just humor me for a moment I would like to say a few words.
All eyes were on the shaky brunette. Most of the people were fellow industry. Dancers, singers, actors and they knew who Bette was.
Bette: In all of my years I’ve never had a hard time speaking in front of a crowd.
Everyone shared a polite smile.
Bette: But this time is different. Usually I am asked to read someone else’s emotions. I was reading words that had been scribbled down on a piece of paper. I was speaking for some imaginary person with imaginary feelings. It’s easier that way.
Bette’s eyes scanned the crowd looking for strength in Tina’s presence.
Bette: Unfortunately for me this solemn occasion calls for me to actually play a role, I’ve never been any good at. Myself. Some of you who may know the situation between Sara and I, may be wondering what nerve I have being here at all. She gave her heart to me and I in turn had given mine to someone else. But Sara understood that. She just wanted what was best for me. She let me go. And really isn’t that what love is? Isn’t that the truest definition of the word? Let this be a lesson to us all. Love truly is a verb. Sara has proven that. Love is what you do and how you do it. Love is setting someone free so that they might find their true happiness. No matter what it may do to you. Love is looking someone in the eye and saying ” I love you enough to know that I am not who you are supposed to be with.” And in your final moments on this earth, love is making sure that those who survive you are taken care of. That is Sara. So if years from now we find ourselves desperately trying to remember something about Sara. If we can’t remember exactly how brown her eyes shown, or if we can’t recall the sound of her voice, let us remember that Sara loved. Beyond all else Sara Michaels truly loved.

I somehow feel like Ashley’s planning some kind of revenge on Bette and Tina… Will she seduce Bette to part the couple?
Yeah Bette do need a big apartment and I see some drama coming on it way now. Ok post soon please, thanks!

Loved Bettes speech at the funeral very sad but very touching….so is Ashley going to be trouble dont get me wrong im sorry for her shes just lost her sister but they can only be alike in so many ways!!! cant wait! just love this!
I hope Ashley feels very welcome in their makeshift family soon. She’s young but very knowledgeable. Not many people can hold their own against Alice! I’m sure she’ll make things interesting. Hehe I see a little bit of Sara in her. :)
” Bette: I’m gonna need a bigger apartment…” A bigger apartment with a SOUNDPROOF master bedroom, if I recall their antics correctly…Thanks!
