Bette was furious. She leaped up from the bed, her arms folded. “She what?”
“OD’d. ‘Multiple drug toxicity’ they said.”
Bette rolled her eyes. “That’s just fucking great. Is she okay?”
Alice nodded. “Yeah. She’s okay. She coded, but they got her back. I’ve been trying to get her to agree to go to rehab. Maybe you can talk to her.”
“I don’t give a fuck if she dies! Let her waste away for all I care,” Bette spat.
“Bette? What the fuck?” asked Alice.
Tina had been watching the friends. The pieces clicked into place and she looked up at her lover. “It was her, wasn’t it?” she asked.
Bette looked at her briefly, her eyes filling with angry tears.
Alice looked between them, her eyes ping ponging. “Did what? Who did what?”
Tina stood and went to Bette, holding onto her arms, keeping herself at a distance. “It’s okay.”
Bette’s lazy ponytail shook. “It’s not okay. I fucking hate her!”
Now Alice stood up. “Bette, please tell me what’s going on? What did she do?”
Bette stared at the floor, her arms crossed protectively across her chest. Tina gave an uneasy smile and turned to Alice. “They had, um, they had a fight. It didn’t end well.”
Alice stared at her friend. “What did you say to her, Bette? What did you say to her to make her want to overdose?”
“Are you fucking kidding me?” asked Bette.
“Bette, I know things have been hard between you. But you’re both my friends. I hate this shit. She’s falling apart. You’re acting like she’s your enemy. I know you fight. All couples fight. But you can be cruel. She loves you. She still loves you.”
Bette threw up her hands. “Of course. You always took her side. You never even had to know what happened. She was always in the right.”
Alice was frustrated. “This isn’t about that! She almost died, Bette. I know you fought, but who cares. Don’t you give a fuck if she lives or dies? Doesn’t she matter to you at all?”
Tina stepped between them. “Let’s calm down.”
Alice scoffed. “So she speaks for you now? What is she your handler?”

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!!!
