“Are you well enough?” Bette protested.

“I’m well enough for this and I’ve made up my mind baby sis. I’m coming and that’s that,” Kit reinforced. She handed Angelica to Tina and got up from her bed making her way over to her suitcase. She grasped suddenly onto the chair on which it stood and Bette sprung to her sister.

“I think maybe I might have to miss it,” Kit whispered as Bette called for a nurse.

Harold braced himself against a tree. He wore blue despite the usual attire of all black. He blended in with the police escort that distanced themselves a little way away from the affair as not to disrupt the solemness of the mood. A few people stood in a winter rain as a lightly drizzled over a single podieum that had obviously seen better days. A priest read words in latin that very few of them understood to mean “She has passed into the holy realm of the everlasting God, amen.” Then as the priest stepped aside few dare approach the rocking structure. Umbrellas circled the crowd as the rain begain to increase from a drizzle and words were spoken lightly. Finally Shane came to the podieum.

“I’ve uh, never been good with speeches,” she started. She fumbled in her mind. The flashes of her breif encounters with Will filled her thoughts and she realised how much was the potential of a real friendship. She had been a friend, not wanting or expecting anything from her. Just there for the company of her cowboy. Shane smiled. God I hate that nickname. “She was, my friend.” Shane finished and stepped down from the podeium giving a sideways glance over toward Harold. He lowered his head and walked toward the berage of police vehicles as the rain suddenly stopped, as it did in LA, and the sun glared through the clouds never having said a word on his sister’s behalf.

“And you’re unsure of your feelings?” Dr. Hawthorne assest. Alice shook her head.

“I got to bed with her every night, I make sure she’s ok. But I don’t leave. Am I just scared for her or do I, well I don’t know,” Alice started. It was unlike anything she had been in before. They had just kind of happened. Dana had gone, Helena had simply show up. Somehow or another they got be friends but this, lately, had been feeling like something more.
