They were sleeping so soundly that neither heard the doorbell ring. It wasn’t until they heard a brief pounding on the front door that either woman began to stir. They were snuggled into a tight spoon, with Tina holding Bette closely. The blonde lifted her head, trying to figure out where she was and what was going on. Bette grumbled and scooted her bottom closer to Tina’s midsection.
They both sat up quickly as the front door opened and footsteps sounded on the hardwood.
Bette’s eyes were wild and frightened. Her heart was racing, her chest heaving. She grasped at Tina.
“Bette! Bette where are you?” called Alice.
The brunette’s throat was dry. She swallowed thickly. “Alice?”
“Bette? Honey where are you?” asked Alice.
Bette squeezed Tina and replied, “I’m here, Al.”
The footsteps grew closer and suddenly, a frazzled Alice was standing in the doorway, still in last night’s wrinkled clothes. She stopped only for a moment to notice Tina before rushing to Bette and pulling her into a hug. She felt her best friend tense and she pulled back, studying the woman in her arms.
“Why haven’t you been answering your phone?” asked Alice. “I was so worried about you. I didn’t know what happened.”
“I’m fine. I’ve just been – – -,” she stumbled then, unsure of what to say.
“She’s been sick,” Tina finished.
Alice looked at her, her eyes hard. “And who are you?”
“This is Tina. My girlfriend,” Bette supplied. “Tina, this is my best friend. This is Alice.”
Alice sighed. “I’m sorry, it’s been a long night. I don’t mean to be a bitch.”
Tina nodded. “It’s okay. It’s nice to meet you.”
Alice smiled softly. “You too.” She turned to Bette. “Please tell me what the fuck is going on? I was with Sidney at the hospital all night. She said to apologize to you. But she wouldn’t tell me why?”
Bette’s cheeks flushed and she grew angry. “Why were you at the hospital?”
“She had an overdose, Bette. Last night, she called me and told me she was sorry. Then she hung up. When she didn’t answer my calls I went to her place. She was out of it. I had to call the paramedics.”

Thanks for the update! Gotta love Tina for being so caring and calm. Good thing that Bette accepts Tina’s help and lets her near.
Now that Alice unknowingly revealed more about what happend the day before maybe Bette will talk to Tina.
What a mess! Being thrown into such a difficult situation after only one week of knowing each other.
Can’t wait to read more.
I still think that Tina despite Bette protest needs to take a charge and call to police. Hide head in the sand and pretend that never happened it’s not the best choice.
Nice but so true to Alice to not read what was going on and jump off the wrong deep end of the pool… glad Tina is there to help but for how long then her own secrets are going to catch up before she can tell Bette. Thank you
Whew!!! intense ! Felt like Alice might end up in the middle, but thankfully, not too much. Glad that Tina kept her word and didnt reveal what Bette had asked her to hold in confidence.
I’m not so sure that even if she had gotten Bette to speak of the rape, that she could have talked her into going to the hospital. And contacting the police, and…and…
Gonna be hard enough to hide the swollen eyes and cuts even with a good make up artist that Tina might know.
Way off the subject, but wonder if Tasha will end up investigating where Sid got the drugs from which will lead back to SHANE and her infamous “shampoo”!!!!
Are you psychic? More to come on the Shane shampoo. (winks)
How did Alice not see the bandaids on Bette’s head? Or the tears streaming down her face? Why not just a simple question of “What happened Bette?” Maybe she could not see the scratches on her neck, but her response was not taking any of the scene into account by her questions.
Of course Sidney’s cryptic message like “Tell Bette I’m sorry” does not explain what she is sorry for.
Now Bette’s gallery is in a big mess. A show who’s artist has not selected the works to be displayed, the artist is has overdosed and is in hospital who may go to rehab shortly, and gallery owner who has been rapped and assualted by the artist. It is looking doubtful that the show can go on. Even with access, it is doubtful Bette is in any condition to make the selections. That mean it would all fall on the shoulders of James and with 2 weeks to go, can selection, framing, and hanging occur in time. And I would make sure that Sidney would not be present under any circumstances.
Good chapter….thank you….
Agree that Sidney MUST not be allowed to show her face at the gallery nor Opening!!!
But Bette will not have the circle of friends & family (“framily”) to step in an protect her bc she hasnt told any of them!!!
