Heartbeat – Chapter 2
Previously
“Out of my way! Out of way!” James ran past the students and knelt beside Bette and took her hand in his. “Bette…Bette…it’s going to be okay.” He watched as Bette winced. Her complexion was getting pale with each passing second.
Bette looked up at the activity surrounding her. “It hurts.” She winced and clenched her fists, the pain was getting unbearable. “Tina…Tina…” she whispered before closing her eyes.
Chapter 2
The hazel-eyed blonde jumped in the back of the New York City taxi cab and told her driver her destination. She settled herself in the back seat and pulled out a script from her bag. If she was lucky, there would be no traffic and she would be able to meet with the director. She uncapped her neon highlighter and marked several dialogues she had questions about. She glanced out of the window to gauge her location when her cell phone rang. The caller ID displayed Bette’s office number. She debated whether or not to answer it when it stopped ringing. She sighed and was about to place the cell phone in her purse when it rang again, this time the caller ID displayed “PRIVATE”. The voice mail icon appeared on the screen before she had a chance to slide the “Accept” button.
She placed her cell phone in her purse and concentrated on the script. After a few minutes of silence her cell phone rang again. Bette’s cell phone number appeared this time on the screen. She blew out a breath and slid the “Accept” green button and brought the phone to her ear.
“Yes?” she sighed.
“Hi. It’s James…I’m calling from Bette’s phone.”
“Yes, I know. Her number came up on the caller ID. What is it that you want?” It wasn’t weird that James had called her. He had been their go-between for a few months now, but this was the first time he had used Bette’s cell phone.
“Bette is on her way to the hospital. The medics just wheeled her from the athletic building.” James paused and waited for a response, when he didn’t get one he continued. “They think she had a heart attack…I thought maybe you’d like to know what was going on.”

I’m confused and the first Tina is a jerk
Wow, Tina must’ve had a pretty acrimonious split from Bette if this is the question running through her mind: “Head to the meeting or go see Bette?” If it’s a maybe, it’s a no. Bette, you deserve better than that. Tina… you’ve made your choice. As for Christina, who knows how her path might intersect with Bette’s again? (Or, some woman named Elizabeth, sometime in the future… ;) ) Thanks for the post! :)
okay….it’s not what you think…believe me.
As far as I can reed the stuff, the first lady isn’t given any name yet. So there is no second Tina, just a second hazel eyed blonde. So calm down folks.
For a minute you have me worried and so, I went back and read the first part of chapter one and that is when I realized that you did not identify the first hazel eyed blonde as Tina, and then I saw the name of the Physician’s Assistant-oh well on with the rest of the chapters, I think this is going to be very interesting.
Totally confused. Post ASAP.
Interesting start I can’t wait to read more. Thank ou
Ohlala! SO tibette are no longer together, and Tina’s kinda heartless? And we have younger version of Tina around? Oh the age difference…I like! PPS!
So, I take it “Christina” is our Tina (the real one) and “Tina” (the heartless bitch) is Bette’s ex in this story? Funny, when I started to read this chapter I thought I wouldn’t be clicking on this story in the future. That is till I read the last paragraph, haha.
ok. just as confused but doubly curious, and, I’M IN!! sounds like a great story. cant wait to read more. thanks for sharing and taking the time.
Whats going on ?Confused.PPS
Wow! You are a clever gal. I love all the comments and confusion. Yes I am too but I know that you will enlighten us soon. Great start to a story. Thanks!
Clever girl… you are having us believe all sorts of things…. one Tina in a taxi and another in a hospital who goes by her full name! I like a twisted plot… thank you! And thank you for choosing “Heartbeat’ definitely flattered by this!! xxK
Okay, totally confused! Is Tina a jerk or is she remembering the past or is Bette remembering? Thanks for posting.
A little confusing here
