“Yes she’s hurting now…but once she hears you out and she learns the truth, it won’t take long before you guys are perfect again and in love. She will listen to you Bette, she’s just going to need some time and you know that.”

I try to believe my sisters words but I can’t help thinking I tore the last string on our love. I’m feeling this way because of the look I saw on her face.

I feel my sisters hands place themselves on my arms then I feel her griping them gently and pulling me to my feet.

“Kit, Tina won’t answer any of my calls, I know she won’t. Kit I need you to try and get a hold of her, I want to know where our daughter is going to be staying.”

“Of course baby girl.”

My body lifted my feet to take the first steps but with each step both my feet would take it felt two sandbags weighing me down.

…

Tina’s P.O.V

Making my way around the corner and to Alice’s apartment door, I lightly knock and stand there with my arms crossed and my face hanging down.

When she opens the door that’s when my head raises but only for a second.

“Come on sweetie.” I hear Alice speak with such a soft tone and thats when I feel her guide me inside.

“How are you doing now?” Alice asked me with her hand resting on my shoulder.

I never replied to Alice’s concern towards me because no words wanted to escape my mouth at the moment, I just wanted to lay down and be alone.

Alice nodded knowing I didn’t want to talk. “I’ve set the fold out cot for you, Tina. And I have a pair of pyjamas placed on it for you.”

I nod my head and turn to look into the living room then my mouth decides to open and I spill out one word. “Thanks.”

I slowly drag my feet into the room, I decide to sit down on the folded out cot before I decide to make my way into the bathroom to change out of these clothes I’m wearing.

When I exit the bathroom, I turn off the lights and I climb my body under the sheets and lay on my side to stare at the darkness.
