Speak True, Ch. 2
“She’s experiencing some trauma related memory loss from the head trauma caused by the force of the airbag. The condition is called Retrograde Amnesia. This is a form of amnesia resulting from brain injury in which the individual loses memories for the time period just prior to the injury. This time period may stretch from a few minutes to several years. In Tina’s case, she can’t recall approximately the last week.”
“Will she recover these memories?” Bette needed to know.
“It’s really too early to tell. Some patients may respond, to photographs, songs, or stories of their forgotten past. Others are less fortunate – their memories are lost, irretrievably. It is likely that she will regain the memories that were already stored in her long-term memory, however, the hours just before the accident aren’t likely to be retrieved. Those memories would have been short term and are likely lost.”
“Thank you, Doctor”
“Certainly.and like I said we will transfer her to a regular room in a few hours. She was really VERY lucky last night.”
Thinking that she could have lost Tina forever, Bette replied, “So was I, doctor. So was I.”
The doctor made his way to the next room and Bette once again turned to Tina. She slowly approached and stood at the side of her bed. Reaching her hand out she gently rubbed Tina’s forearm. Bette knew that she was taking her chances that she may wake her up but she couldn’t help herself. She needed to FEEL that Tina was there. That she was real.
As soon as she made contact with Tina’s soft skin the tears started to fall. Bette couldn’t help thinking of the night before, as she lie in her bed knowing that she would never be able to touch her angel again.
All the guilt began to flood through her body. She had been the one that had upset Tina so much that she fled the house that night. She had been the one to tarnish their vows to each other.
As she sat down in the chair beside the bed, Tina’s eyes began to flutter open.
“Hey, T-”
Tina turned her head and gave a slight smile, “Hi, babe.”
“How do you feel?” Bette placed her hand in Tina’s.
“My head hurts, but I’m so glad you are here.” Tina managed before closing her eyes once again. “Just stay with me, ok?”
Bette brushed the hair from the drowsy woman’s forehead. “I couldn’t be anywhere else. You are my heart, Tina. I’ll be right here. You rest.”
After she was sure that Tina was once again resting peacefully. Bette tiptoed from the room. She couldn’t believe the situation that presented itself. Although, Tina couldn’t remember the night before, Bette certainly could. She had a decision to make.
The night before to Bette had been an awakening. Visions of Tina sobbing, yelling, screaming at the revelation of Bette’s infidelity were too much to handle. Bette never wanted to see Tina that hurt again. Then, even worse, there was the accident, the panic on the drive to the hospital, not knowing if Tina was going to be all right. She couldn’t bear to lose her. Bette had spent hours after Tina left that night wishing she had made different decisions, wishing things hadn’t turned out the way they had.could it be that she was being given that chance?
If Tina never recovered the memories, would it be possible to start over, having learned her lesson, with Tina none-the-wiser? After all the only people that knew about the affair now, were Bette herself and ..Candace.

damn could u imagined if that really happened…man i would b debating the same thing!! but it will come back to haunt her..if she doesnt b straight up
Once Tina is out of Hospital and is stronger she has too tell her or It will come back and bite her ass and be so much harder to deal with
OHHHH NO BETTE U BETTER DON’T GO THERE!!!!!! ‘Cause when the truth comes out u won’t be able to get out of that one…. in fact it maybe worse!!!!!!!
Screwing up like that and having a situation where the other person for whatever reason can’t presently remember sounds like a break, but its not right. Karma always comes back. Once Tina’s a bit better, Bette needs to figure the right time to slowly remind Tina why she was out driving around and upset in the first place. Bette being open and honest with Tina was always a problem, no time like the present to at least try and make it right.
such a dilemma for bette to decide. should she tell tina or not? i say tell her but wait a little until she is feeling better. what goes around comes around – not telling is the smae as lying.
Don´t worry about where your story is going…hell I don´t know where my story is heading as well…I just come up with it and write it down.
Back to the story…wonderful update..this is going to be interesting..is Bette going to tell Tina or is she going to be silent??? Post soon
it will so bite her ass. this is interesting. post soon.
I like the story – keep up the great writing. I gotta say though – Bette had better not hide it. Tina can get her memory back and then a whole other can of worms is going to explode open!
WOW! I love it… Keep it up it’s great!
Hmm not if bette changes who she is while Tina doesnt remember so when she does eventually remember Tina’s love for her will be stronger and able to withstand the strain of the memory….But hey who knows, you have proposed a very interesting dilemma surrounding love and morality…
DON’T DO IT……….GHREAT JOB POST SOON…..
Ok I’m gonna go against the crowd and say HIDE IT HIDE IT HIDE IT! Yes, once T finds out, (which she will!) she’ll dump her ass, but thats gonna happen even if shes honest immediatly, so she might as well spend as much time with T as she possibly can
I think Bette should be honest with Tina; this shit could come back to haunt her becaue she is assuming that Tina didnt talk to anyone when she left that night.
is Tina pregnant????? Bette should tell her the truth she already cheated enough..great chapter please post soon!!!
Wow..”what tangle web we weave when we first learn to decieve.” I’m fifty on this situation..I say, atleast for now, Bette does not say anything, it might cause tina more head trauma, wait until she is stronger or maybe not!! Please Please continue
Now, how to get rid of Candace… I’m with Albeez. This will so bite her in the ass.
Keep writing, so I’ll keep reading.
Bette, stop and think about it, you were considering the idea of lying to Tina AGAIN?!?!
This looks more like a test than a chance. Just open your eyes.
Bette needs to tell her. Maybe not in the hospital but soon. Tina will respect that more even if she becomes angry again. Maybe not just run out..let’s don’t forget Tina played a part in the relationship failing.
ok so here’s the plan, don’t tell her and just go with it and if she remembers drop her like she’s hot
OH wait this is Bette and Tina cancel that plan.
I say wait a bit you know until she builds her strenght back up and then have a sit down, and hope like hell candyass doesn’t show up before that.
very interesting case: do you tell it or not ? i am curious how bette will handle this, how will she position her integrity ? please go on
don’t even go there Bette..
Well I think Bette should get rid of Candace and be honest with Tina about the affair but wait until Tina get better and tell her. This is very interesting and excited, please post soon, thanks!
I WOULDN’T SAY ANYTHING…SHIT IM WILL GLAD JUST TO BE FREE OF THE DRAMA
