It was Friday night and Bette was feeling low, as she looked up at the clock she saw she had only been lying on her bed for 15mins. It felt like a lifetime, she was without Tina and time couldnt move slower. Bette didnt want to move from the house which held so many happy memories with Tina, Bette tried to think of all of the good things but all she could think about was Tina and what she was thinking, thoughts of Bette and Candace, that horrible night which they fought, when they both lost control and then she left.
Tina left, Bette said in despair. Bettes eyes filled with tears as she laid on the bed her and Tina once shared.

Bettes phone rang, she jumped up to see if it was Tina, caller I-d came up it was kit!
Bette hesitated, she wasnt sure if she wanted to talk to anyone but Tina, she hoped that kit wouldnt bring it up.
Hello? Bette said sounding questionable, kit didnt know that they had caller id.
Hey baby girl. Whats going down with my baby sister? Kit said in her always cheerful voice.
Nothing much just sleeping Bette said with a fake yawn.
Well Im going to look at some clubs, want to come with? Kit said in a suggesting voice.
Ummm. Wanting to say no Bette hesitated hoping Kit would get the message.
Great Ill pick you up at 8 and we can go get a drink after we look at the clubs.
The phone went blank, silence. Kit hung up
*****, better have a shower and get ready, Bette thought.


The doorbell rang.
Hey baby girl, you ready? Kit said as she barged through the door
Yeah sorta. Bette looked at kit with a half smile.
Kit could see that Bette was still down; it was obvious anyone would be but she had to get out of this slum of feeling sorry for herself.

They went from club to club and finally stopped at a little bar. It was quiet but there were actually a lot of people there, Bette liked it there it was cozy and the music was nice. They both ordered a drink and sat down. There was girl on stage that was singing and playing he piano.
Bette looked at her and although she had brown hair and big green eyes, Bette couldnt help but think of Tina when she looked at her.
Kit looked at Bettes face with sympathy; it was something Bette had never seen before.
What are you thinking about baby girl? Kit said with an intriguing insight, it was obvious what Bette was thinking about but Kit wanted to help Bette. Kit wanted to be the big sister she always longed to be.
I stuffed up big time, Im so stupid, I love her, I do! Bette said as her eyes filled with teas, this had become a casual thing.
Kit and Bette talked until closing time, I was exhausting and emotionally draining for Bette but she was glad she went and got everything out.

As Bette and Kit walked back to the car they could her the girl from the bar and the owner in a fight. As they both kept walking the girl brushed past kit and droped her bag, Kit leant down to help her pick her things up. Kit picked up a photo, it had Tina in it, she was holding a little girl. It was an old photo and looked like it had been through a lot. The girl snatched it from kit and ran off.

Bette meet me at the car Kit said looking around for the girl.
Okay Bette said. She was so exhausted from their chat she didnt have energy to even think about it.
Kit walked over to the owner
Who was that girl? She said approaching the owner of the bar.
Jackie? he said, raising one eyebrow.
The girl who was singing. Kit said in a rushed voice
Yeah, Jackie Collins, she performs every Sunday and monday, she goes to the school up the road, why. He said in a proud voice.
No reason, thanx kit said. Who is Jackie Collins? Kit thought as she walked back to the car.
