    Author Notes:

    Bette wakes up to darkness and uncertainty.

    “Let me take a look,” he says.  I sense him move closer to me beside the bed.  He mumbles just loud enough for me to hear, “pupils are bilateral and reactive.”  Then his voice is hushed a bit more as he says a few more words.  Then suddenly he says, “well, her pupils react fine and everything else looks healthy.  The blindness is probably caused by the swelling.  We’ll have a better idea about what’s going on after the tests.”  He pauses then says, “why don’t I go check to see if an orderly is on the way?  You stay here with hershe doesn’t need to be alone right now.”  ‘Stay here with her?  She doesn’t need to be alone?’  Is he talking to Tina like I’m not even here?

    As I hear the footsteps lead away from me lash out at the doctor, “I just love it when people talk about me like I’m not even here.  I can’t see doctor, but I can sure as ***** still hear.”

    “Bette!  He’s just trying to do his job,” Tina patronizes me.

    “Yeah, well, HIS job is affecting MY life,” as each word escapes my lips I grow more and more irritated.  Just because I’m in the hospital doesn’t mean I need to be treated as an incompetent child.

    “Please allow me to apologize, Bette.  I didn’t mean anything by it.  I guess I’m just used to speaking to a patient’s family, since they’re usually unconscious while under my care,” his condescending tone does nothing to calm my near rage.  He’s patronizing me just like Tina is.

    “Baby, you’re hurting my hand,” I hear Tina’s words, but hesitate before realizing that my hand is wrapped around hers like a vice.

    “Let’s get these tests run and I’ll be able to give you a clearer idea of your condition,” the doctor says before quickly exiting the room.

    Slowly, my rage has taken over my body.  The doctor’s tone, that incessant beeping, Tina’s patronization and contribute to my heavy breathing and the pain I now feel in my jaw from clenching my teeth.  “Baby, you need to calm down,” Tina implores.

    “I will not calm down,” I state tersely.  “This is MY life we’re talking aboutnot hisand certainly not yours.”  Maybe now she’ll understand that it’s not her life.  She’s not the one who can’t see.  She’s not the one who was shot.

Hope thing have slowed down and just remember to take some time for yourself.

    2. poor bette, back into darkness and not knowing what’s going on…so is tina really there because it’s sort of an obligation b/c your ex-wife is in the hospital, or is she really wanna be there for bette b/c she still loves her?

    5. I started reading your story months ago, today I was curious to know if you posted new chapters, and yeessss, you did it. Thank you, and now, please continue, I really enjoy your story. I hope everything is fine for you now (sorry for my english).

    7. Wonderful to have you back. Life is sometimes wonderful sometimes shitty and somehow the world keeps turning even when we really need it to stop.I’ve been thinking about those two stuck in the hospital! To be very selfish here glad that you are going to try and write more. Oh and I’ve been looking for a guide – put my name down in one of the follower slots!

    8. I know I’m late to the comment party, but I just wanted to say THANK YOU for updating. I really enjoy this story. There are so many levels and layers that you peel away by telling different angles of the same story. Please keep it going.
