Henry: This is all YOU’RE fault. If it wasn’t for you she wouldn’t have left.

 Tina: Henry, just leave!

Bette: I didn’t do anything; it was all you.

Just as Henry was about to say something, sirens we’re wailing from outside. Two police men pulled up and stepped out of the car. Shane told the two cops where to go and they entered Bette and Tina’s home. The rushed through into the kitchen.

Police: We got a call that there was a problem here.

Bette was still making eye contact with Henry as she talked to the police.

Bette: This man refuses to leave our home; he is violating a restraint order we filed against him.

Police: Sir we are going to have to ask you to come with us.

The one police officer escorted Henry out of the house. Henry didn’t stop making eye contact with Bette until he was out of the house.

Police: Have you had any other problems with this man before?

Bette and Tina explained to him what had happened in the past with Henry. The officer told them it was best that they file a permanent restraint order than the temporary. They thanked the officers and then they left.

Tina sat down on the couch with her face in her hands; Bette sat next to her.

Bette: Are you okay T? Did he hurt you?

Tina: No, I’m fine. I was vacuuming; and I heard a noise from the kitchen; he had come in through the back door.

Tina took a deep breath and tried to blink back her tears.

Tina: God Bette; I don’t know what to do. He just keeps appearing, I just…I…

Tina started to cry; Bette pulled Tina into an embrace.

Bette: Shh…don’t worry; we’ll figure out something.

Tina continued to cry as Bette held her. Shane walked in with Angelica asleep in her arms. She quietly walked into the living room. Shane whispered.

Shane: Is everything okay?

Bette and Tina looked up. Tina started to calm down and wiped away her tears.

Bette: Yeah everything is fine now; here let me put her in her crib.

Shane gently handed Angelica over to Bette; Bette took Angelica in her room while Shane sat down next to Tina.

Shane: I looked in the window and saw Henry; so I called the cops.

Tina: Thanks, I’m glad you saw because I had left the phone out in the living room.

Bette walked out and joined them in the living room.

Shane: Well; I better go. I have a client in a half hour.

Bette: Okay, I’ll walk you out. I’ll be right back T.

Shane and Bette walked outside and down the steps.

Shane: So what exactly happened?

Bette: From what Tina told me he got in through the back door. She said he didn’t hurt her…but it looked like he was going to. Fuck Shane; I don’t know what to do. I wanted to kill him.

Shane: I bet. I’m glad that she’s okay.

Bette: Me too…well thanks for everything Shane.

Shane: Call me if you guys need anything.

Bette: Okay.

Shane got in her truck; Bette started walking back into the house. She went back into the living room; but Tina wasn’t there. She walked back into her bedroom. Tina was curled up on Bette’s bed.

Bette: T?

Bette walked over and realized that Tina had fallen asleep. She sat down on the bed and gently stoked her face; happy that nothing had happened to her. Bette stood up and walked back into the living room; locked the doors and tuned the alarm on. After checking that the rest of the doors and windows were locked she quickly checked on Angelica; who was sleeping peacefully. Bette retuned to her room. She took a blanket and cover Tina. She leaned down and kissed her on the forehead; and turned the light off.
