Tina slammed the door in Bette’s face, but Bette saw the look in her eyes. She was sure Tina still felt something for her. So Bette did not leave right away, instead she
leaned against the door and breathed out, was quiet. And heard Tina breathe too, she was still there, leaning against the other side of the door. If you were to cut the scene into
a section, one would see Bette on the outside leaning in listening, and Tina doing the same inside….wood seperating them. Bette could hear Tina…Tina could hear Bette.

“Bette?”

“…..Tina?….Tina baby…if you still want me forgive me…..forgive me……..”

 Suddenly the door opened, Bette was cut off. Tina’s man heard the slam and thought Bette was harassing Tina. “What the ***** is going on? YOU get the ***** off
her property”  He stood there, Tina against the wall looking confused, on hte verge of tears….an expression of hate and love on her face. Bette stumbled back a few steps. But now
turned to the man. Everything came boiling up. Her crumbling relationship with Pax, the fiasco with Tina, the hate anger bittterness confusion all came boiling up into an
expression of such hate the man stepped back. “go on you crazy woman…” At that Bette attacked. She took two steps and rammed her fist into his groin, he doubled over then
Bette kicked him in the stomach pushing him back, she tripped over Tina’s leg and they all went down…..the man got up and was about to knock Bette a good one when Tina
stoppped him…”Stop Tom STOP!! She’s my cousin ok she’s kinda mental but means no harm, back OFFF” At that Bette froze, she grinned and tried to act retarded, she
drooled a bit. The man got up, backing away. “The ***** man!”  Tina opened the door..”Just leave….” Tom threw up his hands, he left. And they were alone together.

 The atmopshere changed, the thing that was there…disappeared. Now Tina helped her up and Bette sat on the couch. Tina sat down on the chair close to it. Gave Bette
a horrible look….Bette swallowed and apologised for the ruckus. “Bette…jesus what the ***** are you doing here? Why the ***** are you back after two months of being gone why the
***** did you have to attack Tom and why the ***** are you here??”  Bette was astonished.She had never seen Tina like this, Tina was not like this…she couldn’t be. Bette knew
Tina heard her..why was she acting like she didn’t? *****…Tina doesn’t know Bette read her diary, it’s her resolution! Should she say she read the thing? No…that would make it
worse…*****. Bette swallowed and went on her speech, she went ona whim..more like out of a panic. She was in a panic, she said her words to alleviate the pressure in her. There
was too much violence in her life, she had been hurt too much, had hurt others too much…and now she just attacked that guy. This was not her nature…..and these were unnatural
times. Bette just said what felt right, with her eyes closed….not looking at Tina she spoke.
