I need to change the music. I need something more fitting now that I’m certain that Tina has left me for good. I know Kit won’t leave. It’s not in her nature to leave family in their time of need. I love her dearly for it, but I just really need to be alone. So I get up off of the bed for the first time in hours. My legs feel like jello. Maybe a combination of laying in one place for too long and my emotional state. Either way, I wordlessly reach into a box I always keep under my dresser for occasions like this. Not that I plan this, but I always figured everything has its place.

Here it is best breakup cd of all time. When Kit gets a glimpse of the case she holds her breath. It means I’m serious, I’m so ***** sad that I reduce myself to acting like a complete ***** clich and I don’t care. Track two “Fool of Me”

I bet in the long run Tina will laugh this off. It’ll be a crazy story she’ll mention to her fianc when he asks her what’s the craziest thing she’s ever done. He’ll gasp, not believing for a second that a sweet girl like that would ever fall in love with a woman. That she would let that woman seduce her to the point of getting into a fight with her sister, who he loves to death. He may even be so bold as to ask what we did and how it all went down. Her wild ways. The number of times she scratched my bare back hitting what could be described as pure ecstacy. He’ll want all the details, just enough to get him hot and bothered. And they’ll have ‘mind blowing *****’ and he’ll come incredibly hard, but her, not so much.

Maybe in that time she’ll think of me. What we had this short month. What are life could be like. It wouldn’t be easy, but it would be us against the world. Just like we promised. I guess promises are made to be ***** broken. ***** I can’t believe it’s only been the one day. How am I supposed to live if I feel this way?

“You think she went to LAX?”

“What does it matter?”

“Because I can’t ***** take this anymore Shane. And I know you can’t bare to either. Look this has gone on long enough. It’s time we put these two back together.”

Shane bites her lower lip and shakes her leg. All the while knowing that they may have interfere. Something she’s not comfortable with doing.

“What do we have to do?”

“Let’s go. You drive and I’ll get the information on outgoing flights to New York.”

“Al, I’m sure there are plenty of flights like that every hour. We don’t even know the airline they flew on.”

“That’s where you come in, sugar britches.” Alice pointed to Grace who silently watched the interaction between the two friends.

“Why me?”

“Because you owe both of them.” Alice said this with a tone that left no room for any argument.

“What do I have to do?”

“Just get in my car. I’ll let you know.” She took one look at Bette’s closed door.

“No one hurts my family. Time for these games to end.” With that she swung the door open and marched purposefully to her car.
