It came slowly but surely, Bette Porter was losing control of herself. Something she feared very much and something that had already fucked everything up. Because of her lack of sleep Bette was lethargic all through work, being pleasant to everybody including Franklinsurprising everyone. It was like a wool cap got pulled over her head, she pushed everything deep inside herself until she couldnt feel the pain anymore. The lack of sleep helped, but being a natural workaholic helped as well. But now it all came back on the long drive home.
where the ***** can T be?…wherenot at Alices? thats weirdmaybe Alice does know and is just not telling meyeah thats it..Tina would run away to Alice if something as drastic as this happenedTurning around Bette sped towards her one-time lovers apartment, slowly growing angry instead of panickyshe was dead-tired and in no mood for any bullshit.
The skys blue was turning into a shade darker when Bette swerved and parked by the curb. All the way here her anger built and built until she slammed the car door so hard a crack appeared on her car door, further maddening Bette. Storming near the intercoms Bette pushed Alices button over and over again and until she heard the familiar voice, slightly annoyed at the incessant buzzing.
Hello?
Let me in its Bette
umm Bettehi!…
Alice let me the ***** in
hang on im going down there
Oooo the little conniving *****, Alice was hiding Tina up thereBette paced and waited until Alice appeared around the corner and opened the door, squeezing out so she was outside facing Bette. Before Alice could say another word Bette had her hands on Alices shoulders shaking her back and forthLET MEIN LET ME THE ***** IN WHERE IS SHE!!!??……Alice stumbled and grabbed onto Bettes blouse for support ripping the seam a few inches down Bettes side. Not even noticing Bette continued to shake her, getting staccato in her physical harassment.
.WHERE IS HE WHERE IS SHE BRING HER DOWN HERE LET ME THE ***** UP!!…
..BETTE CALM DOWN CALM DOWNSTOP SHAKING ME.
Alice pushed Bette hard enough to make her stumble and moved back out of her reach.Bette felt the rage of tornadoes and kicked a potted plant that was by the door down the stepsshe started towards Alice again when Alice blurted out
shes at the Capri shes at the Capri ok! Dont touch me Bette calm down Bette calm down ok..
For a second Bette held her face with her hands and choked..almost sobbing she glanced into Alices eyes.what Alice saw there made her want to step back and step forward at the same time..Bettes eyes were bloodshot with exhaustion and tears were peeking through the corners-she was obviously trying to not to cry..but what made Alice step back was a rage she saw there, it was irrational and desperate. Alice reached out to touch Bette but she pushed her hand away and suddenly walked fast to her Saab, leaving a traumatized and confused Alice.
.right, thought Bette, the Caprishe is at the Capri.
