Hey hi, where is Jessie? she said breathlessly

Bettes heart skip a beat, she hadnt anticipated this, isnt Katie older than Jessie, shouldnt she be in another class, What kind of jerk am I? Bette thought She is over there, honey. I think she is looking for you Katie smile and run in the said direction. Bette didnt have to turn around, once again she just knew Tina was there, her beating heart was telling her.

Am sorry she is very touchy feeling, Ill try to stay out of your way Tina said moving along to follow her daughter.

God!!! to hear her voice again, Bette thought.

Somehow everything have been block, she didnt hear a thing, nor notice the world still spinning around her, she only had eyes to watch them, for one this was probably the first time she had even seen Jessie let herself be hug by someone other than her mothers, katie was indeed dragging her everywhere by the neck, and she didnt seem to mind one bit, then katie; she was all Tina, and too much influenced by Alice she could count one by one the threats this kid had pick up from Alice behavior, then was him, she had his dark eyes, where katies curls came from, Tinas or Oscars? that train of thought wasnt healthy and she knew it, but as her mind landed on the third party, she wondered if thinking about her wasnt even worse, she hadnt allow herself to do that in years, not too often at least but now her presence was like a freight train derailing, imminent, unstoppable, causing havoc in Bettes troubled mind, heart and soul.
