Remember When

Chapter 1

Tina, Kit, Shane and Alice were stunned. They couldn’t believe what they have been told. They sat back down on the chairs they were sitting before the doctor came out, all lost in their thoughts. Kit was weeping silently, Shane wanted to cry but her tear didn’t show, Alice had her eyes closed but just like Kit she was weeping silently. Single tears were coming out of Tina’s eyes and down her cheeks; her face didn’t show any emotion if it weren’t for the silent tears anybody would think she was the one in a coma. Shane felt like doing something but didn’t know what so she did what came naturally to her, she went to Alice, put her arm around her shoulders and held her friend, Alice threw her arms around Shane and finally, Shane felt the tears rolling down. Hugging each other Shane and Alice cried for their friend. After taking a moment to calm down and collect themselves Alice went to call Tasha, Shane called Carmen and Helena and Kit called Angus. When Shane was about to call Jenny she stepped in to the waiting room followed by Nikki and carrying the bag of clothes for Tina.  Alice and Shane told Jenny and Nikki what the doctor said about Bette’s condition and again tears came out of all of them.

After sitting for a long time Jenny and Nikki stood up and told Shane, Alice and Kit that they were leaving. Shane asked them to wait a few minutes and sat besides Kit and Alice

     Shane- Kit, Alice, I’m leaving with Jenny. I want to go to the house and check how Angie’s doing. What are you guys going to do?

     Alice- I’m leaving with you. I want to see my earth daughter, make sure she’s ok. Like you said I’m her favorite. (She said this trying to smile)

     Shane- Ok Al no problem but…are you sure you want to leave? I mean you didn’t want to earlier and now…

     Alice- I want to now. I don’t want to think about Bette in a coma. I want to leave and I’ll be back when she wakes up, so I can give her hell for putting us through this. I mean Tina, you and Kit asked her to leave but No, Porter had to be brave and stay…well I’m leaving, I want to go. (All of this was said through tears)
