Tina’s POV

I hear a fate voice that alarms my body and I begin to open my eyes to see Alice standing over me.

“Morning, here I made you some coffee.”

I rise my body to sit up as I reach out to take the coffee mug from Alice’s hand. “Thanks” I say looking at her before I swing my legs out over the bed and place my feet on the cool floor.

“How are you Tina? I’m worried about you.”

Alice’s concern seemed to have grown, but how couldn’t it? Of course she’s concerned, I basically dropped my broken self off here last night without giving her much of an explanation as to what happened. But i don’t know how to answer back to Alice. How am I? I still feel hurt, angry and disgusted.  “How am I suppose be? Bette hurt me so much, I feel like it was all a lie.”

“I know i’ve only heard Bette’s pleading to you last night about the truth and I know I don’t know the truth and I’m not going to take sides. But Tina after you walked out of here last night, she broke down, I never seen Bette lose herself that way. I think you guys need to talk this through and now. I know you need time but i’ve never seen Bette in that state before.”

Alice’s words leave my thoughts wondering about the truth, was she really telling me the truth. I think about how broken her voice had sounded last night.

“I don’t know if I’m ready to face her yet but I know I have to for our daughter.”

Alice sits down beside me and takes my hand into hers. “Go home and listen to her.”

..
“Mommy!”

My smile appears on my face when I see my daughter running towards me with her arms opened wide.

“Hey my girl!”

I lift her and hold her for a tight embrace.

“How was your night with Auntie Helena and Auntie Dylan?”

“It was so fun mama, we swam and played hide n seek and we watched two movies!!”

My heart melts when I hear Angie talk about her night in excitement, I place her back on her feet. “Wow, that sounds like so much fun! What do you say to Auntie Helena and Auntie Dylan?”
