When New and Old Collide: Chapter 11

Previously:       

Just as those words left Bette‘s mouth, Tina rounded the corner and came to a complete stop. She stood there unable to move and unable to make a sound. It was her it; it was Bette standing on Tina‘s front porch (looking stunning as usual). All that kept going through Tina‘s mind was to breath, don’t faint, breath, don’t make an ***** out of yourself, breath.

After about five minutes of watching these two just staring at each other Alice had to break the silence. Although she was afraid for her life, knowing they were both going to figure out that she had lied to them any minute. She could not stand the silence for any longer (and what is Alice good for if not to break the awkward silence).

Alice: “So guys, long time no see huh?”

************************************************************************

            Tina and Bette both just looked at her like what the *****. Then they turned back to each other and Tina looked down at Beth wondering what she should say or if she should just have Alice take her inside. Bette just sat there like a deer caught in headlights, just wanting to run from the whole situation. Bette knew that Tina was meeting them there, but from the look on Tina‘s face she had no idea Bette was going to be there. Bette was trying to think of something, anything to say at that moment. Luckily Tina broke the silence.

Tina: “Al, can you please take Beth in the house and get her some juice, I will be there in a few minutes.”

Alice: “Sure, no problem TK.” She said taking Bethy and walking towards the front door; passing by Bette and giving her a encouraging smile before entering the house.

Tina: “So, are you just going to stand there and stare at me, or are you going to say something?” she says full of ire.

            Bette just stands there with a blank expression on her face; she knows she needs to speak up and explain her actions, but she just can’t think of anything.

Tina: “Well that explains a lot.” She says sarcastically. “Thank you for coming Bette, but until you can explain to me why you left me here alone without a word for over three years then I don’t want to see you, or hear from you.” She says walking to the front door.
