Two days had gone by since Bette had visited Helena in prison. Yesterday she went to see her again, but she hadn’t been allowed to go in. As she went to ask why she couldn’t go visit her friend, she was told that the inmates were only allowed 2 visits a week. Peggy went to see her at the beginning of the week and Bette was there 3 days after her. So that made already two visits.

Bette was furious! She wanted to give Helena some hope, that everything is gonna be ok. They would see to it, that nothing happened to her anymore.

Bette was in the kitchen making herself some coffee. The exotic aroma filled the air and when her coffee was at the boiling point, she poured it’s content in her cup, sat down on her couch and switched on her tv.

She took the day off. She knew she wouldn’t be able to focus on her work, when her thoughts were constantly with Helena. She couldn’t even enjoy the simplest pleasure of life, like what she was doing right now, drinking some coffee while watching tv, because she was permanently thinking about what Helena was doing now. If she was ok, or if she was being hurt.

Bette thought of how much had changed between Helena and herself. A few years ago they couldn’t stand each other and they weren’t even able to talk to each other without making any bitchy comments. Even their friends were sometimes uncomfortable being around them in one room.

Now, everything had changed. Over the years they had helped each other out and became friends. First they were both a little bit precautious about the others intentions, but eventually they began to hang out together with their friends and falled into a pleasant atmosphere. In the course of time they found out, they had a lot in common and talked about their children, the art, their parents, their difficult youths and many other things.

Bette missed her presence. Their fluent and agreeable conversations they shared. As the time went by her friendship became stronger and she couldn’t fight against the attraction she began to feel towards Helena. Of course she had noticed before that she was an intelligent, confident, sexy and gorgeous woman, but now she just had this sweetness surrounding her, which made you want to squeeze her like an oversized teddybear. In Bette’s eyes, Helena had one of the biggest heart she had ever seen.
