How did everything get so messed up, Bette?
Story written on March 20, 2006 by Mad Maggot.
Bette continued to spend time with Helena, who was much more cultured than Bette could have ever imagined. As it turned out, they shared a robust emotional bond. Bette found a great collocutor in Helena and every day when she was coming home from work, instead of burying herself in unfinished revision, she waited for Helena to call her and tell her how she’d spent her day. She also couldn’t wait to know what was going on with Tina, but Helena’s answer was always the same – Tina barely ever talked about her life outside the studio, mostly preferring to discuss neutral topics.
Helena herself, on the other hand, had to sit down before dialing Bette’s number, because of the growing weakness in her knees. Whenever she was around Bette, she was trying to sit as close to her as possible, gently brushing against Bette’s skin whenever she had a chance, she was just one step away from fainting if Bette touched her hands when she was excitedly telling her something.
All Helena wondered about was when Bette would notice her affection, which was rather obvious, even though she tried to prevent herself from being too transparent.
One morning, as Bette was sitting at The Planet before going off to work, drinking coffee in hopes that it will help her function better and reading the latest edition of Art News, she heard familiar voices in the distance. She turned around and saw Helena and Alice approaching her table.
“You should try to be nice to her,” Alice instructed Helena as they went, “no catfights, though it might be a very entertaining thing to observe Bette!” she yelled as they finally stopped near the table.
“Alice, Helena” Bette said, standing up, “why don’t you join me?”
Helena just nodded, trying not to look at Bette not to give out the poorly hidden desire in her eyes.
“We’ll surely join you,” Alice said, noticing the change in Helena’s manners as they both saw Bette, “how have you been doing? I haven’t heard from you since that Saturday night when I visited you at your place.”
“I’ve been somewhat busy lately. You know, work, students, theses. I also went out with Helena a couple of times,” she said, warmly smiling at her new friend.

I love this .Tina doesn’t want Bette,yet she doesn’t want anyone else to have her. Don’t let Helena get hurt in this. Let each day go by and Let Bette love Tina less with each pasting day. Thanks
thanks for your comments so far!.. the strange thing is that a couple of hours ago the text looked fine, now it looks totally unformatted, going to fix this now.
To Bad for Tina NOT. Tina needs to leave Bette alone. Please let Bette and Helena get together I think they would be great together. Please Post soon
I’m another in the camp of “Bette needs to move on.” I love Bette and Helena could be good for her.
Helena seems so genuine with bette id like her to hang in there for a while..see how this works out… Tina needs to leave well alone until she`s really sure of what she wants…so im enjoying where this is going…
I am a huge fan of Bette and Helena pairing, I think their personalities build great chemistry. I only hope Tina can stop tormenting Bette with her mind game, and emotional play and allow’s Bette the freedom she requires to move on with her life.
Well, they’re yours to do what you will in this story, but I think Tina ought to leave Bette alone and see if Bette can find some happiness elsewhere. But, that’s just me. . .
bette should get over tina and be with helena.. hope season 4 would be like this.. ha..ha..
Helena seems like me. I am horrible at hiding my feelings so it’s obvious if I flirt with someone. Or, it used to be anyway. Haven’t exactly felt comfortable flirting for awhile now.
I also think Bette should move on, and Tina too! Please don’t hurt Helena in this story…
I like the story, but Bette and Helena? please no. But it’s your story, i will keep on reading it.
nice story… I know how everyone says that Tina should leave Bette alone to explore Helena… but that just takes out the fun of writing dramas. Doesnt it? I say leave them in a doomed triangle, its more exciting… or am I just evil? If I am I blame Illene and season 4. hppft.
hoho, Tina, it’s so not decided by you now. You’d better get your mind back and go after Bette again, before Helena gets in her way.
What is wrong with the text in this story? Trademark signs, foreign language accent marks makes it difficult to read.
i love this – brilliant maD — TOTALLY BRILLIANT !!
Woman up, Tina! Go and get Bette…well, grovel first. Loving this story! Thanks for this chapter. Please continue and post soon.
make them talk, they have too understand what they feel…helena will be okay and she’s a 3rd wheel right now…i just can’t see bette and helena together..i live in denialville
Well this is a nice chapter. Go on your story is really tempting. Nice to see Helena growing soft because of love; the hunter has left for the moment. Love your stories, ashley
Tina better think quick or she will lose Bette forever. OK post soon please, thanks!
