The 4 of them laughed but secretly they all wished for Bette to wake up. After a few minutes Tina was going to stand up but felt dizzy and had to sit down again. Kit, Alice and Tasha noticed and Kit felt it was time to put her foot down.

     Kit- That’s it Tina, now I don’t care if you want to stay here or not, Alice and Tasha are taking you home, so you can rest, be with you baby girl and have a proper meal because a person cant live off of coffee and tea forever.

     Tina- No Kit, I’m not leaving her I told you that before.

     Kit- I don’t care what you said, you are going home and that’s that. Look baby girl I told you earlier, you are not going to help Bette get better if you get sick, so please go home and rest and I’ll stay with baby sis and take care of her and I promise if she wakes up or if something happens I will call you. I’m sure one of the girls will bring you to the hospital after you’re rested. Please Tina!

     Tina- (looking at Bette)…….ok I’ll go home but just for a couple of hours, then I’m coming back. I can’t leave her alone for so long. (Kit looked at her when she said alone) You know what I mean Kit.

     Kit- yeah, yeah I know. So go and I’ll see you when you come back.

     Tina-(she stood up and bent so she could whisper in Bette’s ears) Baby I love you so very much. I’m going home for a little bit but I’ll be back in a couple of hours ok. I’m just going to take a shower and see Angie and then I’ll be back, ok. I love you. (She kissed Bette’s cheek and let some tears come out)

Tina stood up, Alice and Tasha walked to the door, Tina kissed Bette’s cheek and hand one more time, looked up at Kit and walked out the door and out of the place she had been for the past 4 days.

Kit took a sit next to Bette and looked at her sister and cried. She couldn’t believe how weird life was, just when it seemed everything was in its place this had to happen.  After a few minutes of just letting go and crying her heart out Kit calmed down and looked at her little sister, she looked so pale and so fragile, it was strange for Kit to see her like that because she was used to see the beautiful and proud sister she has always known.
