Crazy On You

The three girls went out for a short walk just getting back into the feel of the school grounds. Bette noticed a girl sitting on a bench that looked familiar so she walked passed her.

“Hey Bette.” Came a familiar English accent. She smiled and turned to the girl who sat reading. She didn’t even look up from the book.

“Hi Helena.” Bette said smiling. The girl looked up and smiled softly.

“How are you?” Bette shrugged.

“I’m doing alright. How about yourself?” Helena did the same, she shrugged.

“I could be better.” Bette noticed the circles around Helena’s eyes and a very light purple mark on her cheek. Bette sat down next to Helena.

“What going on?” Helena just smiled and put her book down beside her.

“Winnie and I just had a little fight. That’s all.” Bette’s eyebrows creased.

“What do you mean a little fight?”

“We just fought.”

Bette was not taking the topic as lightly as Helena.

“What happened?”

“It’s no big deal really…

“It is to me.” Bette interrupted forcefully. Helena frowned slightly.

“We stayed up most of the night fighting and she got a little rough that’s all.” Bette felt like she could kill Winnie.

“She hit you?” Bette asked firmly. Helena jus sat looking at Bette.

“Is it apparent?” Bette got up and started walking towards the dorms. When she got her hands on Winnie she was going to make her wish she had never been born. Helena and Bette were good friends since they started in the same classes. They didn’t think much of each other at first but when they found they had more and more in common they got close. Helena ran behind Bette and grabbed her arm.

“Bette please, I’m fine everything is fine stop this now…” Bette instantly interrupted her.

“It is not Fine Helena. It is fucking disgusting she should be hit harder than she can throw. And I know for a damn fact I can hit her hard.” Bette stopped when Helena let out a stifled sob.

“It doesn’t matter, we broke up last night Bette.” Bette looked at Helena’s begging eyes. She saw the unshed tears and the look of absolute heartbreak. Bette pulled Helena close and held her. Helena sobbed into Bette’s shoulder then from across the way she saw Alice and Shane jogging towards them.
