The next morning, Helena was awoken by a banging in the kitchen. It startled her out of bed, and she glared at the sleeping dog at the foot of the bed, “some watchdog you are”.

She found her bat behind the closet door and was ready to swing at whatever came her way if she needed to. She walked quietly down the hall and down the stairs, in through the living room and then finally into the kitchen, “You’re home early!” she shrieked as she noticed Sam rummaging through the cabinets for some food. Sam made her way over to Helena, “This is what I wanted” and proceeded to passionately kiss Helena on the mouth, which Helena wasnt too pleased with.
“What? You dont like my kisses anymore? Didn’t you miss me?” inquired Sam as she continued rummaging through the kitchen.
Helena sat down at the kitchen table, “Can we talk?” she asked, wanting to finally let Sam know that she wasnt happy. That she couldn’t live like this anymore and that she wanted out of this relationship.

Without looking at Helena, Sam responded with “not now, hun, I have to go take a shower before my meeting with your mother.”
“You have a meeting with my mother?” Helena asked

“Oh yeah, I guess I forgot to tell you.” she said nonchalantly, “we’re going to go over plans for the wedding-”
“Whose wedding?” Helena asked, looking confused.

“Ours silly! For when you finally come to your senses and realize that you want more than all this!”

Before Helena could respond, Sam was out of the room as fast as she had arrived.

Helena was so upset that she called Dylan. Before Dylan could answer the phone in her usual way, Helena interrupted with “I’m so sick of this right now, Dylan! She’s overbearing and controlling and doesnt care what I think! She’s pushing too much!”

Dylan asked, “I thought you wanted somebody to push you?”

Helena sighed, “Not like this, Dylan! I want somebody to ask me what I want, somebody to actually care about my feelings and what I have to say.” she said desperately, “she’s pushing in all the wrong directions and I’m so tired of it.” she began pacing around the kitchen in circles, “I’m so upset right now, she’s planning things without my approval and is going behind my back to talk to my mum!” she wiped a tear from her eyes. But when she turned back around to walk the other way, she was only met with an irritated looking Sam who had her arms folded.
