Bette: “I’m sorry. Just talking to myself.” she says with a small smile. “Stupid stress.” she says under her breath.
Carmen: “Hey, are you sure you are ok? Do you need someone to talk to?” she says with genuine concern on her face.
Bette: “Actually I just moved here and I am a little stressed out. Sorry for bothering you.” she says and starts to turn away.
Carmen: “Carmen.”
Bette: “Excuse me?”
Carmen: “My name is Carmen. If you need a friend or just someone to talk to I am always up for making new friends.”
Bette is taken aback at just how friendly this stranger is. Still she wants to keep her identity somewhat guarded; she is not ready for the WeHo scene to know that she is back yet. Bette may be in her early fifty’s but she is still one hot lady.
Bette: “Elizabeth Porter.” she says extending her hand. “Thank you, it’s always nice to make a new friend. I am sorry Carmen, but I have a hungry teenager at home and I was supposed to already be there.” she says looking down at her watch.
Carmen: “Well, hey if you want to hang out sometime just give me a call or come by the little caf on the corner it’s called The Planet.” she says handing Bette a card with her number on it.
Bette: “I know where that is. I might just have to take you up on that offer.”
Carmen: “Great so if you want you call me or just show up at The Planet I am usually there from 8:00am to 10:00am.”
Bette: “Thank you, I will probably see you tomorrow Carmen.” she says with a smile as she turns to walk to a register.
Carmen: “Ok, bye Elizabeth.” she says as she goes back to finding something for Shane and their son Ethan to have for dinner while she goes to DJ a private party in the Hollywood Hills.
Sam was watching TV when Bette got home from the grocery store. She wanted answers as to why they had moved here and why now in her first year of high school. When Sam walked into the kitchen she saw her mom putting the groceries, so she walked up behind her.
Sam: “Hey mom can we talk?” she says hesitantly.
Bette: “Of course sweet heart. What did you want to talk to me about?”
Sam: “I hate it here mom. I have no friends, and everybody here dresses so weird and I don’t know if I will be able to stay up with their curriculum.” she says in one breath. “And I just hate it here. Why did you make us move here, I liked it in Chicago.”
Bette: “Oh, come here.” she says pulling Sam in for a hug. “You will make friends because you are a great girl and everyone will love you. I know you will be able to keep up with the curriculum because you are brilliant, I mean come on you’re my kid.”
Sam: “Oh god mom you are such a dork.”
Bette: “And as for the way the kids dresswelleveryone is entitled to their own style. If you want to dress the way that you dress than dress that way and don’t worry about what other people are wearing.”
Sam: “Thanks mom. You still haven’t answered my main question though.”
Bette: “What was that?”
Sam: “Why did we have to move here?”
