Kit: (Sighs) “Okay…” Bette approaches the door. “Hey…”

Bette: (She looks over) “Yeah?”

Kit: (Crosses her fingers) “Good luck.”

Bette: (Blushes) “Thanks…” She opens the door and steps outside. Kit steps outside and watches Bette get in to the car. Bette smiles and waves at her. Tears fills Kit’s eyes, though she doesn’t let Bette know. She waves as Shane pulls off down the street. Kit bows her head and prays. She then raises it and heads back inside and closes the door.

Shane’s car

Bette: “Shane.”

Shane: “Yeah?”

Bette: “Can I ask you something?”

Shane: (She gazes over at the brunette) “Sure, shoot.”

Bette: “Why is Tina so stubborn?”

Shane: (Laughs) “She’s been giving you some problems too huh?”

Bette: “A little. I mean…she’s so damn pushy, and she always wants things her way.”

Shane: (Shakes her head) “That’s Tina. She’s always been that way Bette from the time when I first laid eyes on her at the park. She’s always been the type that wouldn’t mind smacking someone around who gave her hell. She always stood her ground and she doesn’t take anyone’s bullshit.”

Bette: “What do you mean?”

Shane: “Like Tommy’s…” Bette sighed and rolled her eyes. Shane saw this. “Hey, look, last night was the first time that Tina had called me crying in over six years. That girl hardly cries about anything, and when she does, she doesn’t have a problem showing it. That’s how I know she’s telling the truth about something, or when she’s serious. Usually her eyes will become filled with tears, or suddenly they began to fall. Tina’s not a liar Bette. Nor is she a cheater. I agree with you, and I told her this-Tommy shouldn’t have been in her house. I don’t care what it was that she needed to say-she could of called him, or she could of waited until the next day. She broke down when I told her this. Now I’m sure that it probably broke her heart and that’s why she ran off running to San Diego, because she couldn’t take the heat. Last night when she was planning to leave- I told her that she couldn’t continue to run from her problems. This isn’t her first time Bette. This is the second time she’s done this. Once with Tommy, and now with you. I guess sometimes when you really love or like someone-it’s best to leave in some circumstances if you believe that it’ll make the relationship better, but…” She looks over at Bette. “She never had anything serious with Tommy. Even I know that when she left before he wasn’t going to change. And me being the friend I am-I told her. But, her ass is so stubborn and she’s so hardheaded. She left anyway with hoping that he’d come after her.”
