Part 42
The celebration at the Shark Bar was especially loud and bright. Dylan’s win thrilled the studio executives and gave the studio credibility after the disastrous reviews and box office performance of Lez Girls. Tina and Dylan were the toast of the studio and the win instantly gave them leverage for any upcoming works. Tina, because she claimed discovery and resurrection of the project and Dylan, for obvious reasons. Helena beamed with pride and the kiss that Dylan placed on her lips before she went up to accept the award surprised her more than anybody. This was a different Dylan than she knew two years ago. She had certainly evolved beyond the Dylan who was afraid of the slightest public display of affection. It was a deep kiss that told the world, this is my girl. On stage, she admitted she did not think she would win and had not prepared an acceptance speech. Off the cuff she tried to remember all who were involved, the women of the project, Shoalin studios, Tina and of course, the love of her life, Helena. She closed the speech with, “Helena honey, I love you. This one is for you.”
Helena’s tears with the speech messed up her the make-up she was trying to maintain earlier when she received her promise ring. When Dylan returned to the seat she found her lover broken down in tears over the evening. Helena gazed into Dylan’s eyes, held both their hands together and said in disbelief, “No one has ever loved me the way you have. I don’t have to ever doubt your love.”
“No you don’t and you won’t ever again. I love you and will do anything I can to show you that.”
When they arrived via limo at the Shark Bar, the gathered paparazzi knew Dylan’s name this time. “Dylan, Dylan over here,” she could hear as they made their way into the restaurant. This was interspersed with, “Who are you wearing?”
She stopped and posed at times showing of her trophy and her love at her side. She leaned into Helena’s ear and giggled, “I’m glad you talked me out of what I was planning to wear.”
Helena winked at her and held her hand as they walked into the very dressed up Shark Bar. Inside were large flat screen TV’s that showed a replay of the ceremony, shots of the fashions on the red carpet or the sequence surrounding Dylan’s win, from the naming of the nominees, the announcement, the kiss, then the thank you. The gang and her siblings were already there and let out a loud cheer for Dylan as soon as she entered. Helena stepped back and let Dylan enjoy the praises and cheers tossed her way. After a round of hugs and kisses, she settled in and began to enjoy to party. The lively band covered a diverse variety of hits songs from the 80’s to recent.

I’m happy to hear you’re recovery is going well Squirl. I thought it was rather rude of Helena and Raquel to have that conversation in the middle of the club on Dylan’s nite. Raquel could have save that sh*t for another time and Helena should have told her that tonite wasn’t the right time. Hmmmmmm,then there’s Dylan. Is she ever going to tell Helena about the note? These three are making me dizzy. I just love Sergio Mendes & Brazil 66 version of “The Look of Love”. Fergie & Will-i-am not so much they suck. I must say Squirl I think you have a crystal ball in your possession because after reading your story and watching Helena in the first two eps is like deja vu especially when she told Alice her new motto was no attachments.
I absolutely love the new version of “The Look of love.” That version made me think of Helena and Raquel being torn. It and the album, inspired most of this chapter. Maybe that fits right it for you retroboogie….You think the song suck and this scene sucks. It makes perfect sense to me. ;-)…I have seen a few spoilers about the upcoming Dylena reunion. I’m glad I got my story out before the spoilers and the season started so there is NO influence at all. I only have ONE more chapter to this story and I hope to get it out before next Sunday. It will be fun to see what the writers do with them. If they keep them together in the end or do they send them their own separate ways.
Hey Squirl! Good to hear that you are recovering well! I loved this chapter…incredibly emotional. I know you only have one more chapter…but I still think this one could go either way… :)! I listened to “The Look of Love” but had to follow it up with “The girl from Ipanema”! lol! Btw, I so love this story that I fear the small screen version will pale in comparison! Thank you so much for sharing…Take care of yourself!
maybe you should have called this story “Helena the fiddle” because thats how your letting Dylan play her. yes indeed I am outraged that you let Raqus walk away with her heart in her hands, sure Helena is not in the know but for gods sake someone here has to take a look in the mirror and be honest with them self. Even if Helena never finds out about what happened to the note she will come to know the real Dylan, the one that manipulates. My wise old aunt, god rest her soul, used to say if thats love I’ll take vinilla, geeze I should have listened to her. Oh, I’m far from done, but I will let the weak convalesceso she is strong enough to hear the angry side of me. Glad your feeling better Squirl, take car of you. Thank you, Md
M. Oma honey, you mean you have more anger to express. Let it out. Just let it out. I want all you raw emotion. ;-)You wonder was there really a winner here don’t you? Hehehehehehe. I’m strong enough. Give it to my sistah!
That should be, Just give it to me, sistah!
Dr. Squirl I really hope your feeling a bit better today, that means your resting well and all the good thoughts coming your way are helping out. I must bring it though, IMO Helena was better off in jail, the poor thing is a prisioner onto herself. Dylan knows exactly what she is doing, she may not mean any malice and she might just be trying to hang on to the best thing she ever had but she is still manipulating the situation, she had another open window of confession and deceded yes choose and chose intentionally not to confess AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I must admit that Raqus MIGHT have to wait her turn a bit or move on but for the love of women eveywhere get Hels outta of that situation before she becomes a mean weepy untrusting lonley old woman, come on Squirl now I’m begging, help that woman. You know only you can do it even if you have to add a chapter or ten or however many more. PLEASE, Thank you, Md
Wow loved the update was raw, exciting, precious, loving, devasting, emotional and much more.i cannot wait 4 more.Raquel just had bad timing i dont think even if Helena had got her note things would have changed cus i think helena knew dylan blew her mind in Atlanta. I jus hope Helena dnt feel like she has to commit to Dylan and end up regretting it. But im rooting for Dylan to win her completely her body, mind & soul. Havent heard of that song at all…i should check it out though. I know it was hard for Raquel but it was hard for helena too, so now what happened should be left that was the final goodbye on their relationship. I enjoyed the chapter…I knew Racquel couldnt just leave so freely from Helenas life, this just shows ex’s turn up when you least expect them too, it always takes you by surprise.But i think Helena will be okay now.I just hope she makes the right decision for herself.
Md, I hear your plea. I’m going to wait for East and JC’s 2cents before I comment on your idea of “rescuing” Helena from her future of unhappiness. This is clearly a Pro-Dylan crowd. Rau, my other Raquel lover, jumped ship when I wrote the other ending. She didnot want to see anything related to Dylena at all. You have suffered throught it. I admire that.I will comment at length in the next chappie(the final) about my thoughts about them as a viable long term couple. But clearly Dylan has to watch her back, knowing Raquel in all her Helena lovin’ hotness is out there, and now she has seen them together, she HAS to be VERY VERY nervous. She’s no fool. She knows Helena’s got feelings. Will her paranoia, guilt, insecurity eventually undo their relationship, or will Helena’s new found love of things BRazilian undermine the relationhship? Or will they just chill, love each other and say bye-bye Raquel and bury her as much as they can?… I thought about it alot and I feel this story really needs a sequel. Now that I’m laid up for another 3 weeks, it will give me something to do.
Ok so it’s come down to it’s all fair in love and war has it? Let me just weigh in with a few facts 1st: JC & East have been routing for Dylan all along. I think East just likes that Dylan discoverd the yoga moves before any one else did, correct me here if that’s not right East. 2nd: My little brother may or may not come along for several chapters. 3rd: I get the feeling JC just plain dose not like Helena, just a feeling JC, correct me if I’m wrong. 4th: I understood that Rauqs sent Helena to get closer on Dylan not closed the door tight, again correction is welcome if needed, in fact feel free to correct any and all misunderstandings. Where was I with this rant? oh ya 5th: Rauqs/Dylan either way Helena has painted herself into a corner so maybe she should just go play in another sand box or something. 6th. I hear Marvin Gaye singing “When she’s gone” do you hear it?????????? 7th: Dylan and Helena went head to head already about the openness and honesty and Dalan is still choosing to withhold, I understand fright all to well but you know the chaos from chaos deal. Which brings us to strike 3, first the original sin, then she blew it again before going away now the letter, yep count um, three strikes. #8: I know that Dylan has her work and she loves it but Helena did ask her not to go on this trip and givin that they are really on rocky ground and Dylan could have a job anywhere right now she didn’t even pospone, not right in my head. 9: I could go back and quote major Raquel hot stuff but since you might just own this story I’ll choose to believe that you remember every steamy detail and much as I do and that should speak for itself. I’ll answer your pm after I go gently nudge Rau to make a comment, but I’m thinking she might need some Raquel persuasion. So greatful for the sequel thoughts. Thank you, Md
Hey Squirl! Welcome back woman! I hope your recovery is proceeding smoothly and the procedure was successful. I have been sending out wishes into the universe for a speedy healing and a successful outcome! Let us know how you are doing in the next few days.Now, I feel as though I must defend poor Dylan from the wrath of MD. First, just for clarification, the Brazilian babe did capture my heart for a few chapters (so MD I have not been rooting for Dylan all along – at least not entirely). I will admit that Dylan’s stock rose significantly when she discovered and practiced some of those advanced yoga moves with Helena. Woot! Woot! (MD even you have to admit that was HOT!) Now Raquel’s got the body that won’t stop. She also has the sexy voice and let’s face it Brazil is a damn nice place to escape to for a bit of R&R. The problem with the Brazilian Babe as I read her, is that she’s just not dealing with her fear about relationships. C’mon – this is the second chance she had to make her feelings for Helena known. She could have said I love you more than my own life – is there anything I can do at this point to change your mind? But, Noooooo! Instead she acts like an adult and just gives up. What the heck is up with that? I say that makes her an automatic loser by default for not even trying. Oh, and MD – while I think Dylan’s tactics with the note are horrendous (as is covering it up) she is doing it out of a fear that she will lose the woman of her dreams. At least she is acting on her emotions. Raquel seems to think she just has to dress the role and spout words of love to accomplish the deed. I guess I’m an action woman – I want to see it! OK – so that’s my piece. I’ll leave it in the wonderful hands of the incredible writer to determine the ending (or sequel) to this lovely story. East
Md, I sure hope little brother comes out before another 4 chapters. But I will not hold up the works for him. He doesn’t like Helena does he. OMG….I love her….Yes you keep score well….East is a HUGE Dylena fan, but I cherish her very learned opinion of the state of this union. You are very right Raquel did send Helena off to find the truth and did leave an open door, but she did tell her, you are a distraction, not exactly the welcome wagon. Raquel has issues and we will see why she backed up off Helena when Dylan surfaced, so quickly in the next chappie. The hints have been there, they become clearly exposed why she would be afraid and why she let hot sexy love walk away from her so easily to pursue, ex-hot sexy love…. Dylan is a wounded soul. I think they are all fucked up, I should know, I wrote them that way. So it’s a matter of which fucked up relationship you want to cheer for more.(Although….I have not written anything bad about Raqlena other than Raq’s fears. I don’t understand why we don’t have more pro-Raquel folks. She hot, she’s rich, she loves Helena and loves loving Helena,(we love her loving Helena) her family is a bit jacked right now, but whose isn’t, I can forgive that. I think Helena definitely can. )….Now I will go back and review Raqlena steam but you are RIGHT, I remember more details that I will ever admit. (My toes are curling)I will go bump Rau for comment but I already know her response, especially after the note tearing incident, “Fuck Dylan”. I think that just about summarizes it. I’m feeling you though, honestly and you know it.
peeks around the corner, Raquel must be shy>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>runs, yells back, Just a little unconfident>>>>>>>>lurks
see what you started Squirl
Hello One Hello All… MD it is not that I don’t like Helena I love Helena but the reality is that within the confines of said story and the realism portrayed within Helena needed to ‘grow up’ I understand the harshness of her reality as Squirl has portrayed it in such astonishing detail but also we were given amazing insights into what made/makes Dylan tick… I am not a ‘fan’ of the Dylan character beyond the incredible take presented here within this fiction… but for me Helena continued to be a sheltered ‘bitch’ if you were… gaining everything and giving ‘NOTHING’ in that each time Dylan would open up to her and share and recant and seek some kind of forgiveness ‘Helena’ was already looking for the next excuse/reason to remove herself from said relationship… when Dylan gave of her self honestly Helena ran… was Dylan perfect nope… I never said or thought she was… but she was at least open and truly honest and yes she did hide things and reserve what she did share but in the end she was more open with Helena then Helena has been with any one… all I wanted for Helena was for her to ‘grow up’ … it didn’t matter if she was with Dylan or Raquel in the end cause she deserves neither if she can’t give to them exactly what she wants from them… openness… honesty… ahhhhhh… got to get ready for work but will be back, love and hugs, Always and Forever, JC
Eastie sweetie, honey, baby….You snuck in under the radar…. I felt you positive vibes…Things are going very well…Post-op day 5 and I am home and happy….I have to share this…This is my first day home and my younger son, 3, ran over to me after his bath and said, “Mommy I just want to give you a kiss.” He’s got the sweetest, softest sugar-lips every created.It was the best kiss I have EVER had. I am still smiling over that…East you have some really interesting points on Raquel, that she backed out to easily….But if she did say ‘Helena, I love you be with me’, do you really think it would have been right. She’s already taking flack from retro, BeL that she showed up at the party and dared to speak to Helena, but if she demanded the come with me, do you think it would have worked. I don’t think in JC’s bitchiest of Bitches Helena would ever do that to anyone, especially after giving her “promise”. Dylan outplayed poor little Raquel. Who now will have to plot how to get her back over the next few years…..But I am curious about your thought about Helena’s mental state as written, do you really think she would have dumped Dylan on her big night….I really thought your comment was so unique and I anticipated every response to this chapter but yours….I guess that’s why I wanted to see it…I think your justification for getting rid of the note is pretty darn cool….As I said, we will soon understand the underlying reason for Raquel’s fear, she told it, incompletely the first night we meet her. I debated having her tell Helena the full story why she is so afraid at this Oscar party, but I thought…..Nah…too tacky, too groveling…I don’t see her groveling for anyone, even Ms Sex on legs….So out of Helena’s life she strolls…Really leaving Helena nearly a basket case and Dylan ready to capture all her “prizes.” Torture for all indeeed
AlRIGHT, let me try this again, I’ll try and make it easy on all, When Raqus said Helena was a distration it was more of a compliment in a undercurrent kinda way. Dylan is a wounded soul but she is not learning from those wounds, just give here some vitiam E, she’ll be ok. JC, please don’t overlook the fact that Dylan nearly ruined Helens life and Helena had to bounce back from that, spoild as she may be she still is fragile and it is my conviction that her hinges need a little oiling not Dylan manipulating the situation, just saying. Oh that openness your talking about, ya she was real open, open the trash bin for the note open. Golly if I were this Helena I would open the door and keep running. East I just have to say that Raqus didn’t say more right away because she knew she messed up and now she is outside the club thinking of the grand ummmmmm ummmmmmmm grand ummmm well we’ll let Squirl tell us. BeLena don’t you think you were just maybe a little harsh, maybe just a tad? retro, wow couldn’t ya see that love was in the air, ya they couldn’t just walk away, it might not have been the best timing but that happens and gee ya know that conversation would have been all over with if Dylan would have givin the note to Helena in the first place. See easy pezy Dylan might have come up with the jewels first but it is my hope that
Ok I was not done yet, who tried to cut me off?????? So I was saying that I hope that rock can’t cut glass, I sticking with Raqus till my untimely death. Raqus on, YA Raqu on, maybe I have to go hide out in Brazil. Thanks again, Md
JC, I am here to address some of the anger you clearly have with Helena. Squirl I am certinly not trying to step on your toes here so if this distrubs you just cut it out or tell me to knock it off or whatever you need to do. I am merly trying to help my poor misguided little brother see the light. JC I only say that because I love you and would hate to think big sister did not do her job. Maybe we should start back at part 39 on the first page here is what it said “Helena grabbed Dylan’s face and pecked her on the lips, “Dylan, love, please don’t worry. Yes it’s different.””In what ways is it different?””Sweetheart, I don’t want to get into a comparison of the two of you. But you are very different. Your temperament, what you want out of life and love, it’s very different. Please drop this. Don’t ask me to compare.””Okay, fair enough. You can’t blame me for being insecure when you tell me you came here to break up with me.” “Dylan, you’ve opened my eyes. I thought I needed to end things with you in some matter, express my hurt and anger to you, so I could move on. Instead I found I still loved you, so I can tell you, you hurt me, I was angry at you, but most of all I have to tell you, I still love you.”Dylan smiled, “So did we take care of the hurt and angry part? I want to get that part behind us. I don’t want it creeping back in.”See what I see now, Helena is doing the best she can, in fact I believe all three of the girls are in their own ways. The thing is though is Dylan keeps flowing the path she travelled as a broken kid growing up on her own, I’m sure she had to manipulate many situations in order to mearly survive but she needs to acknowledge that and fix it before she can give of herself to anyone and that is not an overnite process. Helena grew up not knowing love either but she is the poor little rich girl, the kind that have what they have for a while and then it’s gone and another something comes along and another and another till she just plain thinks thats the way life is. Now crash bang smash into each other they run and of course nither have a clue, sure it’s the best thing either of them think they ever had and lets face it our Author, Mrs. Squirl, ya I know it’s your story, and a lovely one at that. anyway Dr. Squirl put them together in the end, for now, I hope. My thing is that It Ain’t Gonna Work, so now Raqus is just crying in her beer someplace in the world all alone sopping it up with some old bar towel, pity just a pity. You guys think Euni will let me in her cave? Thank you, Md
JC, I’m sorry sweetness I forgot the most important point I was going to make in my rant. There’s this thing, I don’t know what you’d call it but it’s a this vs that kinda thing. Some people wear their hearts on their sleeves and some keep their feelings all to them selves. I think Helena is the later until she gets to know someone or unless she feels the contact and then that contact is not broken, ya that was the most important.
I’m taking the easy road out….I agree with all the above!!!…Okay now honestly…I think I said before this story was not meant to be about Helena’s redemption but Dylan’s(Raquel was tossed in as an antagonist and what a superfine antagonist she turns out to be)So most of my time writing is about their character and story not hers…I assume Helena to be whatever TLW has told us she was…Beautiful, sexy, spoiled, not always thinking things through, good to her friends, looking for love…I have not spent a lot of time writing her back story, that was IC’s job…I will though in the final chapter answer a valid question…Why? Why what? JC aksed it. You’ll have to read the final chapter to see what and why…Good question JC!!!. I think Helena has tons of heart, she doesn’t wear it on her sleeve. She’s British for God’s sakes…I agree with Md, she does open up to those who are close…It’s deeper for her, you know, “still waters run deep”. That’s how I see Helena. Whoever get’s her has her….Right now it’s Dylan, flaws and all. I”ll be working on JC’s question…Answer by next Sunday hopefully.
Lil bro I agree with you 110% about Sqrirls writing and sincerely appreciate your words telling her so, so I can say dito. As for your other comment, maybe or maybe not, still the fact remains that Dylan is a manipulateor, is that a word, well anyway look at this: to control or take advantage of by artful, unfair, or insidious means=tearing up the note and not saying anything 2x, once when she did it and once when she stood quite about it. Listen little buddy you don’t have to endorse Raqus, just don’t lead Helena into a life of lies and deceit. I think I’m going to go on a sit in in protest to everyone that indorses Dylan. Md
Hi y’all, I am soooooooooo here under duress and protest. I don’t like Dylan, never did, never will. She does nothing for me as a woman!!!! and nothing for Helena!!!! Imo, right now, Hels is scared to run after Raquel and take the biggest risk of her life so she’s using the EXCUSE that she made a promise to Dylan rah-rah-blah-blah. Bette should step the fyck outa it becuz she is NO WISE WOMAN and is just damned lucky that Tina is and that Tina ‘loves’ her otherwise my 1st choice would be Helena and Tina for life!!!!!!!!!! However, I have always been ready to concede that its Bette and Tina and the kids for life!!!!!! Now Raquel is one emotional, hot, Latino babe who will keep Helena’s blood pumping and excite everyone of her days whereas Dylan???? what can I say??? does a tiger lose its spots/stripes whatever????? It appears to me that Dylan had her chance with the hottest property in LA and she threw it away in spades. Has Helena got no pride???!!!!! Yes, Dylan says she’s sorry but can she ever recompense Helena’s losses at that time or ever really get inside Helena’s psyche, Imo, a big fat NO!!!!! Besides which, HOLY MOSES!!!! Dylan is still a flat out manipulative liar. Is that what those of us who love and adore Hels want for her? NOT ME!!!!!!!! So Squirls bring in Tina to LISTEN [not talk at Hels like Bette did], really HEAR both words and feelings of Hels and then let Hels make the right decision from HEARING her own true words & feelings and there is ONLY ONE HERE result=====Raquel; or put it like this: its Raquel or Hell for Helena because a life with an insecure, lying, manipulative woman such as Dylan is a life destined for pain, misery and finally a descent into HELL!!!!!Have I said enuff???? to pull you Squirls back from the edge of making the biggest mistake of your life??? Better PM me b4 u post that next chappie because I am so not coming back to be tortured by Hels and Dylan!!!!!
Oh BTW sorry to hear u have not been well…I could say that’s what u get for torturing me BUT I am kinder than that. Take care and be well.
heheheheheheheheeeeeeeeeee, there’s my pal Rau, you go girl, heheheeeeee, I knew someone else loves Raquel and didn’t want Helena to always be second guessing herself, phewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. At least I can stop second guessing myself. Thank you, Md
Sooo….hmmmmm I see…So Rau are you saying you think Helena belongs with Raquel….I kinda thought that’s what you think..I see I’ll have to write something special just for you and the president of the Raquel fan club…That’s cool. I love writing her…Even better, Helena and Raquel…doing things that two consenting adults like to do…Thanks for sucking it in and humbly telling me what you think…Advice to Raquel fans….Do NOT read the next chapter, actually read the 1st part then cut off at the first sign of DYlan. Your second coming of Raquel will soon follow…
I’m glad you’re doing well. Yeah, hospitals leave a lot to be desired. My stints have encompassed quite a few jabs and any number of tubes but no cuts. I hope you got decent food and decent nurses, they both mean a lot in the quality of the stay. Regardless, leaving is the best. Just a note to all out there: if ever anyone wipes your ass for you, be sure to say thank you! Well, too bad for Raquel, but a note and some flowers just don’t compare to unadulterated expression. Dylan was the rightful winner.
Hello My Most Amazingly Passionate Friend…
OMG OMG OMG… I am so so so happy to see you… last night before I left for work I lit a candle and prayed for you my most beautiful friend…
To see you and hear you (in my mind and soul) makes me so delirious…
Ok I have to go and read this but I couldn’t contain myself to see you just makes my entire year worth living…
love and hugs, always and forever,
JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels and the ever loving Cuzzie to the ever talented Eunichick and Personal Fanner to the Incredibly Talent Deean)
Hey squirlgood to see you are recovering well and still found some time to treat us with a new update.I must say I am with retro on this one, it was very inappropriate of Raquel to show up on Dylan’s night like that and don’t tell me she didn’tknow Dylan had won or that Helena was with Dylan now, she knew for sure and just wanted to go at that party to stirr things She’s had her chance, she didn’t take it, time to move on and leave Helena the ‘L alone :) I hope Dylan will be honest and tell Helena she destroyed the note but I’m afraid she isn’t going to do that unless she has really changed. Loved this update very much and I’m a little sad knowing this great story is coming to an end. Take good care of yourself and I hope we will see a new story any time soon.
Hello Again… No I haven’t forgotten that Dylan ‘ALMOST’ ruined Helena’s life… and caused her all kinds of emotional and physical distress… but Helena is playing like a damn ping pong ball… D… R… D… R… D… R… at this point in time I am wondering why the ‘hell’ Helena is with Dylan… Dylan ruined my life blah blah blah… OK… she has not in so many words actually shown Dylan just how much she was broken… I mean in the sense of completely balls out 100% telling Dylan how much ‘She’ was hurt… Helena is the queen of slight of mind… saying something to imply that she has said a lot… once again NOT ONCE have I ever said that Dylan was perfect… and I have on many times said that Helena doesn’t deserve either of these woman… not because of them because of ‘her’ she is not willing to give of herself exactly what she wants for everyone else… in this story up until this point she is the one who hasn’t been honest… she is the one hiding behind her faux bravado and is unwilling to show ‘the ones she claims to love’ anything resembling her honest feelings… again… there are no innocent parties her… Raquel was a coward for telling Helena she loved her in a way that Helena couldn’t understand… Helena has told both these woman she ‘loves’ them and is unwilling to tell them why… and Dylan well she caused someone pain and hurt them blah blah blah… Dylan has admitted that she hurt Helena… she has been 100% honest about what happened back then… and her slip ups are a fling with a girl when she wasn’t committed to the other one… huh… Helena can go around an bang Raquel and of course everyone knows… Helena isn’t very shy or secretive about who she is sleeping with… also Raquel is a public figure doesn’t take much to hear the rumors… and Dylan had an oversight and didn’t mention it… Helena should have made a decision about Dylan and figured going with the safe route if she didn’t figure getting hurt again by her… cause heaven knows she hasn’t been hurt before by someone who has told her they love her… so until Helena ‘can’ give of herself what she expects others… why does she deserver special treatment… cause she was in jail… Ok… fine… wasn’t Dylan molested as a child she doesn’t deserve any kind of redemption… and I’m sure Raquel’s past isn’t all roses… so they all have made mistakes… none are innocent and the only one playing that part is Helena… oh me oh my how can I choose… well I don’t know… such a tough decision the one who destroyed me and I still love… or the one who treats me like gold and I love… hmmmmm… Ok… lets have them jump through hoops… sorry but I love Helena and I love how she is flawed but she still needs to be held accountable for her own actions and her own shortfalls… no one else can be… Sincerely, JC
Squirl, it’s good to see you back and hopefully doing well. I feel so bad for Helena. This entire situation has been torture for her–being so torn apart by two lovers. But I think she was in the wrong in talking with Raq in such a way and on that night. I don’t blame Dylan for feeling so insecure after witnessing such an interaction. I don’t think she should ever tell Helena about the note. What H doesn’t know can’t hurt her. Besides, the motive behind her tearing up the note is completely justifiable, even if the act itself isn’t.
MD I will say this you are right on account Helena did in fact tell Dylan she loves her but also one missing peace is loving someone and forgiving someone are two different crosses to bear… maybe just maybe Dylan might be less insecure about losing Helena if maybe just maybe she was given the forgiveness with the love… you are amazing my beautiful sis, love and hugs, JC
Hello its me again… I guess another thing that I might have taken into context that shouldn’t have been or actually should have been put into context is that these last few chapters have been Helena and Dylan’s story… we already had our resolution with Raquel and how their lives might have turned out… and maybe I’m selfish cause for me… IC and her crew have never ever ever come close to giving me as a reader, lover of the human conditions… the amount of detail’s that you have given Dylan and Raquel… the backgrounds and insights have been completely mind blowing… I can go back and re-read this story and pick out so many amazing and insightful nuances that you have crafted… and for me I’m selfish cause I would have loved to have seen this kind of detailing for Helena… yes IC did create her and all the other characters… but her talents and theirs are minuet compared to yours my passionate friend… maybe if I took all the details you gave Helena in your other story and transfered it here I might have a better appreciation… and maybe like I said I want you to continue forever and give me all the wonderful and amazing insights and details that only you can give me cause for me my model of who/what/and why? Helena is comes from your stories… and your passion… so yeah I’m selfish and I want you to continue forever and ever… but thats just me, love and hugs, always and forever, JC
