Come Back To Me chapter 1.
Night. Bette’s house.
Alice and Shane helped Bette through her yard as the glow of the swimming pool shone behind them. They supported her on each side as she drunkenly made her way into the house. They guided her to her bed and sat her down. They took off her shoes and gently urged her to take refuge in the soft mattress. Bette willingly gave herself over to their command. Alice looked on with a mix of shock and terrible, terrible sadness. She had never seen Bette so destroyed. It rocked her. Bette had always been so strong, composed. Alice didn’t recognize this frail, broken women who was sobbing uncontrollably. It quite literally made her heart ache for her best friend.
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry", Bette pleaded softly through her tears to the one person that meant the most to her. The woman she’d lost.
She lay on her side as Shane and Alice tried to comfort her with kisses and hair stroking while waiting for sleep to come and rescue Better from her misery.
After they were confident that sleep had claimed Bette, her friends stood watching over.
"Shit" whispered Alice.
"This fucking sucks" agreed Shane.
"What are we gonna do?"
"We’re gonna leave is what we’re gonna do."
"But…"
"Al, we’ve done all we can do for tonight. All we can do is be here for her. And for Tina."
"I know, but it’s just so…fucked up!!"
"Quiet" Shane hushed her.
They quietly made their way out of her bedroom and into the living room. As they headed toward the front door they slowly looked around at the remnants of the happy life that used to be centered throughout. Photos of happier times were strewn over the coffee table that was also littered with empty liquor bottles, a glass with traces of what appeared to be red wine and several crumpled tissues.
"Let’s clean up a little" offered Shane.
Alice nodded and picked up the bottles and glass and took them to the kitchen while Shane swept the tissues into a nearby wastebasket. Alice opened the refrigerator and was slightly shocked by what she found. Three bottles of water, a six-pack of beer, a half-empty bottle of wine, and one solitary bag of carrots that had surely seen better days. "Jesus, Porter" Alice sighed as she grabbed a bottle of water and took it to Bette’s night stand knowing the dehydration that always followed a night of indulgence.

Please continue for sure. This is a new spin on things.
yes please do
What a lovely start. Yes, please continue.
This was a great first chapter! I remember how unforgiving Alice seemed to be towards Bette until this scene…and as Alice was stroking Bette’s head, I remember thinking, ‘see Alice, see how much pain Bette is in too!’ Thank you for this…I hope you do continue!
By all means, please continue. Great start!!
this is a great start! Poor Bette thinks she is dreaming. pps.
love it! you have to continue!
i love those little changes we make to the show…please continue, it’s interesting to see how it could have been
If only…
This scene from season 2 was one of my favorites. Bette’s pain broke my heart. I’t nice to see your take on what else could have happened between them. Please continue!
It’s hard to believe that this is a first post. You write beautifully, like a seasoned pro, and you’re taking the story in a direction I would have loved to have seen on the show. Continue? It’s a no-brainer. Hell yes!
Great start! Don’t stop now!
Hey gang, Thanks so much for the kind comments. You sure know how to make a gal feel welcome. Just wanted to let you know (the early readers) that I noticed a mistake on page 2 and cleaned it up. Something went flooey in all the copying and pasting. It was the second paragraph of page 2. Thanks again. I will post soon. Not tonight though. Been a long day. -rh
Wow – definitely continue please.
more please…great stuff you got here!
Looking for the next page, next post, I got nothing. Hello, please keep Tina there.
This is good start and please continue soon, thanks!
uh yah…you have to ask?
Great Beginning. You must continue. Please soon.
For this being your first post, you did a really great job with the first chapter.. I love how you capture the feelings and emotions with both of these two women..I really hope that you continue on and keep writing…PPS!

For damned sure continue…u v got me totally hooked!!!!!!
Keep going, please.
I wish you would alter parts of season 2 and pretty much all of seasons 3 and 4 :). Wonderful beginning, please continue.
Oh wow that was awesome. I felt like I was right there. You must continue this I love this. This is something that should have happened on the show.
PLEASE! continue this is a very good start! welcome!
This is awesome. I always wanted Tina to see Bette at this point. We got to see her fall apart but not in a good way in season 3 and nobody to catch her when she fell. If Tina had seen Bette at this point then maybe things would be a whole lot different.
yes plz continue
I don’t know how I mossed this wonderful fic the first time around. Someone at TWoP was kind enough to mention this story, and I am so glad that they did. Thank you again. Please write more.
