A couple days later, Helena skipped through the front entrance of The Planet in search of Kit. She was bouncy, almost giddy-like when she finally reached her, “I finally did it, Kit! I finally broke it off with Sam! Seriously though, I never thought it would take as many times to break up with her as it did, and I dont think she still accepts it, but I’m so proud of myself! I no longer feel stuck.”

Kit matched Helena’s bounciness, “I’m so happy for you, girl! What are you doing to do to celebrate this milestone?” Kit knew all too well that since Dylan left her three years ago, a piece of Helena went missing too and so she let her mom make all the decisions for her, even the ones that would ultimately make her happy. Kit knew that this was a huge step for Helena in realizing that she has to make herself happy before she can even begin to think about other people. Sam was never right for her but nobody could tell that to Helena. As far as Helena saw it, Sam was her way out of LA, but when Dylan came back into town, Helena’s way of thinking seemed to drastically change. Helena used to be arrogant, then turned into an emotional wreck to being depressed all the time. It was her who needed saving this time, but not from just anybody. She needed saving from herself as she seemed to be on a destructive spiral, but it was as if the light switched as soon as Dylan re-entered the picture. Even with everything Helena was going through, Dylan never let her down or let Helena push her away. Dylan was the only person that seemed to encourage Helena and support her and be that person she could be…. even if at the time it was just as friends. At first, it was hard for them but as time went on, they realized they wanted, they needed, to be in each other’s lives.

“Can you keep the VIP room private tonight? I’m meeting Dylan there tonight and I want to tell her something important.”

All Kit could do was smile widely, she knew what the plan was, and she was so glad to finally see Helena taking initiative. She had missed the go-getter attitude that was once a part of Helena.
