Throughout the day, Dylan kept sending sweet little texts to Helena. It was the least she could do to ease her mind from flooding with Everything-Helena—especially while at her meeting. She had a busy day today, but since she was her own boss she figured she could try to get out a little early so she could head to Hit and get her Helena fix. Definitely my addiction she chuckled to herself, both at the thought and at how corny it sounded.

Back at The Planet, Helena seemed to be moping around. All she could think about was Dylan, and how much she wanted to just wrap her arms around her, look into her eyes and tell her just how in love with her she is.

“What’s got you down, girl?” Kit finally asked.

“Dylan” she replied without looking up from what she was doing, “no wait, that came out wrong! I mean, I’m down because Dylan’s not here.”

Kit chuckled as she placed her arm around Helena’s shoulder, “I’m glad to see you finally happy. You guys have been through so much and yet, it just goes to show that love does prevail if you fight for what you want.”

Helena smiled, “I never thought I’d be here, ya know.” she said pensively, “I mean, in the way that even with what happened and all the shit that has happened, that I’d be standing here today telling you that Dylan Moreland is the love of my life.”

“Say what?” Kit asked, looking somewhat confused.

“I mean, I’ve fallen in love before, but nothing like this. Nothing like what she and I had, and nothing like what we have now. The only difference between then and now is that, I dont have to hide my feelings for her, nor do I have to hide our relationship.”

Kit laughed, “oh I know that! We all saw you in the parking lot before she left!”

Helena bit her lip as she blushed.

“I was cautious when she came back. I havent even told her how I felt, just that I’m thankful for another chance.”

“Well are you gonna tell her tonight or what? I’m sure she’s dyin’ to know that you still love her.”
“She’s the sweetest person I’ve ever met. She said that she’d wait for as long as it takes for me to let her into my heart. She’s not pushing, which makes it that much easier to let her know that I do love her. With my whole heart. She says she has never trusted anybody as much as she trusts me. And before she met Danny, there was nobody in her life that she ever trusted.” Helena shook her head, “She had nobody to encourage her. Nobody to support her. I want to be everything for her, Kit, so much so that it hurts.”
