The phone rang and Bette saw it was Helena calling… maybe she had an argument with her mother and she is needed of a friend thought Bette while answering Helena’s call.

            Hello again

            Hi Bette, I hope you weren’t sleeping apologize Helena; it was really not the hour for a phone call.

            Not at all, I was reading, did you talked to Peggy? Bette was totally sure that the British was calling her because of her mother, it seemed that Peggy, as Melvin used to do to her, it was the only thing that made Helena behave like a baby girl

            Yes, that’s why I’m calling you. My mother was calling me because she’s worried about you as long as she said she hadn’t had notices from you in weeks… sadness was so obvious in Helena’s words that Bette didn’t need to be with her to imagine her friends face.

            Oh sorry Bette was speechless, Peggy should have thought about Helena before calling her just to know if she was ok.

            Don’t apologize Bette, it’s not your fault; it’s my mother’s good sense of motherhood. The main reason why I call you is to let you know that I lied her about you. I said to my mother that I haven’t saw you in weeks said Helena

            Really? You lied your mother… Bette was surprised. One day while talking about their childhoods Helena told Bette that there were only two women she was totally unable of lying to them. Her mother and the woman she’d loved… How it happened? I mean I…

            I know, it’s weird, it’s the first time I remember I lied to her, but believe me… when I said it was so natural that I almost believe me… Helena was smiling on the phone what made Bette feel better.

            Why did you lie to her Helena?

            I don’t have any clue. Maybe because I know her and if she discovers we’re friends she is going to start worrying about how much pain I’m going to cause you and how wrong I’m judging people… and all that stuff…

            But your mother will be right Helena…. You were wrong with me, I’m not a bitch… said Bette trying to show Helena that those mistakes were common in life. I was also wrong about you, you are not a dragon, or a bitch… definitely you are not of the things I called you… I see it now…
