The spectacle that followed would be burned in Bettes mind forever. She herself could not even think after what came out of Richard Kennards mouth, and what surprised her most was what T did. As soon as the dirt left Kennards mouth Tina jumped up and she took the tablecloth with her. Dishes, food, and glasses scraped over the table and fell on the floor at Tinas end where she held the cloth in both hands. For two full minutes nothing was said, it was so still Bette could hear everybody breathing, then Richard Kennard stood up and said in a deep booming voiceNow you look hereHe was cut off by Tina who yelled on top of her lungs that she didnt give a ***** what Richard Kennard or anybody else thought about her or Bette she was not going to take this abuse anymore. Tina then grabbed Bettes arm and dragged her up to their room leaving the mess behind. They got up to the room where what happened finally sunk into Bettes shocked mind.dammit she yelled and threw a bust on the floor, ill kill him Ill ***** kill him. Tina restrained her and pushed her against the door; it took a while to calm Bette down. She felt stupid for not doing anything but the pure nastiness of Richard Kennard made her sick. After cleaning the room up and packing up Bette and Tina left the house. While waiting for a taxi in front of the house Bette turned to Tina and held her hands, Tinayou came here for your auntand I want you to stay for her funeral but stay at a hotelT I have to go back, if I stay here im going to kill someone. Tina hugged Bette hard; she loved her so much it made her stomach hurt. Then Bette took Tinas head in her hands and kissed her full on the mouth, let them see the fuckers.

And so Bette was on the plane now, sick as ever. The realization that she was going home alone finally hit her. She hadnt stayed home alone since Tina and her were struggling. She hoped that the old feelings would stay in that dark place deep her mind where it couldnt get out. The prospect of sleeping in their bed alone wouldve made her go back if it werent for that dickhead. What an *****! Bette couldnt believe that someone could be such a ***** as he. Bette thanked the stars that Tina didnt inherit his nasty side. Bette warmed again after thinking of Tina, her T finally stood up for her. Bette was beginning to think she would have to carry them both kicking screaming out of there. Still, Bette felt like a little weakling for not standing up and giving Richard Kennard the full extent of Bette Porters knowledge of curses. Boy and the things she wouldve told him.
