**Birmingham, England** – **Helena**

Shortly after Alice moved to New York, she found herself in an awkward situation she wasn’t really part of the gang, more so an outsider who generally put in her two cense worth in. Alice was her beloved friend but she knew deep down she had made the right decision to go to New York. Although Helena contemplated going to live in New York to be closer to her children and be there for Alice, she didn’t want Alice to be deprived of all the good things that would come to her. Such as making a new group of friends a lot different to the ones she left behind. She knew of Alice’s departure but still found this awkward pain hard to deal with her one true friend starting a new life without her there.

Her children she loved dearly and she wouldn’t leave them behind entirely, her and Winnie had made some significant changes in their attitudes towards their parental choices. They agreed the children would visit her in England. But that she would still come to New York to spend time with them there too with Winnie there as a family. Helena continued to work for the Peabody foundation for mommy for a short while but found herself starting a organisation of her own called ‘Angels & Stars’. She created a charity to help children all over the world in need most of change, and with her help she would do that. It was a way of breaking free from mommy’s power and finding her own path in life away from the famous Peabody name.

Her work meant a lot to her it was the only thing that kept her living another day, that and her children. Friendship was something she had not cared for neither craved after all she could get the kind of friendship with benefits from all the socialites she had dalliances with. Women would fall at her feet trying to impress her or even try to leave a fragment of themselves in Helena’s memory but that was always easier said than done. No one could push themselves into Helena’s life without her say so. It was pretty much the only control in life she was able to maintain no matter what. After all when you let yourself go you just end up like before hurt and not able to explain what went wrong or how it did.
