When New and Old Collide: Chapter 4

Previously:

Jenny: Are you ok Tina?

Tina: I am great; a little drunk but great, why?

Jenny: I just thought that you would be upset after seeing Bette.

Tina: What are you talking about? she says now wondering if what she saw was real now.

Jenny: I just saw her leave; she looked upset so I came to see if you were alright.

Tina not hearing another word gets up and runs to the front doors of Milk. She runs outside but Bette is long gone and now Tina is wondering why she is running to find someone who obviously did not want to be near her. She sits on the curb as she starts to cry, but is she crying because she misses Bette or is she crying because she thinks Bette does not miss her.

As Bette was driving to her hotel she was wondering why she was running away and also who in the ***** was Bethy? She was thinking she must be Tinas new girlfriend, the girl who took Bettes place in Tinas heart and life. Bette reached her hotel room and went straight to the bed and fell asleep. While she was asleep she had a dream that haunted her and comforted her these past three and a half years. She dreamt about her and Tina and their beautiful daughter, she always wondered why she dreamt that they had a daughter; because the baby that they lost was a little boy. The dream always started out with Tina, Bette, and the nameless little girl having a picnic and ended with Bette watching Tina and the little girl from a distance, and then farther and farther away until she could not see them anymore.

Bette woke up in a cold sweat and wanted to get out of L.A. as soon as possible; it was 8am and her meeting with Peggy was at noon. Bette figured if the meeting went well and all of the business was handled that she could catch a flight out early on Sunday. Bette got up, took a shower and got dressed; she called Kit to see if she wanted to meet for breakfast before her meeting.
