All That I Want – Chapter 2
Helena turned around and looked at Bette, with a slightly shocked expression. "Bette. Are you alright?"
Bette bit her lip. "I…" She swallowed. "I need you to take Angelica. Just… just take her to Tina, please. And tell Tina… that I’m sorry."
"Bette," Helena sighed. Another bloody problem, another thing I can’t sort. Why does no one ever come through for me? "I don’t really…” Helena faltered. “I’d rather not get involved in all of this. No more drama, not tonight. Just take her up yourself. I’m sure if the two of you sit and talk whatever it is through, you can–"
"No!" Bette looked down at the baby, who slept on. She lowered her voice and repeated, "No. I need you to–"
The drinkers at the tables closest to them looked over with renewed interest at the women. The bartender walked to the end of the bar, still drying a beer glass. "Ma’am, Ms. Peabody? Is there a problem?"
Helena turned to the bartender and gave him a bland smile. "No, thank you. Everything is fine." She waited until he had turned away, then picked up her small purse from the stool next to her and took Bette by the arm and led her out into the lobby. She noticed the overcoat and the carrier for the first time.
"Wait… Bette, why are you out with Angelica this late anyway?" Helena flapped a hand downwards, gesturing at Bette’s choice of outerwear. "What… where have you been?" She looked back up at Bette, suddenly wary.
"I can’t – I can’t answer any questions right now, Helena. Please? Can you do this for me?" Bette looked at her with an expression Helena hadn’t ever seen on Bette’s face: one of complete vulnerability.
Helena stood for a moment, silently regarding Bette.
Bette began to turn away. “I can go and find Ali–”
“Bette, wait.” Helena swallowed. She was in the middle of it all anyway. What would another mess matter at this stage? What was it her father used to say… “In for a penny, in for a pound.” She sighed and held out a hand for the carrier. "Right, give her here. I’ll take her up, and I’ll talk to Tina." Helena brought the car seat up to see the baby and smiled. "At least she’s sleeping. Tina can’t yell then, hey?" She lowered her arms. "Bette, are you sure you can’t–"

Great beginning and I hope you’re planning to post the next chapters continously???? Like right now???? :) PPS
Love it!Tnx for fast update, hope you’ll continue that way!Love the accident, love the emotions!still hope it’ll be belena along the way LMAO, but whatever you write-I’ll read! Post soon!;)
Oh I WANT BELENA I WANT BELENA I WANT BELENA I WANT BELENA I WANT BELENA I WANT BELENA… That’s loud and clear right? Please, I love that and it would be something else than another TiBette story. not that that’s bad but I like Belena equally. PPS
Love the update and so fast. Please post soon… please no Belena.
Great story!!! PPS
NO Belena PLEASE!! Let Bette be rescued soon please! Come back soon please!
Thank you for another update. I’m more worried that Bette will recover from her car accident, and not freeze to death before someone finds her rather than who she hooks up. Tina always seems to find it in her heart to forgive Bette and realize she loves her only after she’s broken and near dead so we’ll see how this one turns out. Great start. Driving while upset especially on icy roads at night was a recipe for disaster, just glad Angie wasn’t with her. Great job writing. Looking forward to more.
ITA with BatnAA. You have masterfully captured Bette’s anguish, resentment toward Henry, and self anger and self-loathing. I can sense the urgency and panic that Bette is exhibiting. You write like an adult, one that has full command of the English language. Your chapters have been a pleasure to read. I am not concerned about Bette hooking up w/someone. I want to know what happens after Bette’s accident.I once had an accident on black ice. It was terrifying. Fortunately, I came out of it unscathed. Kind of a miracle.
Just caught up with your updates. Wonderful beginning and can’t wait to read more. I hope Bette’s ok.
Again,please no Belena.Thank you for the update.I hope Bette is o.k.
ty for this its great. gripping wonder who will find Bette. ty :)
Good start!!!! I better buy some more tissue paper!!!!
Great start, really like it so far but PLEASE, NO BELENA. We just don’t need that crap. Hope Bette will be alright in the aftermath of the accident and hope someone finds her soon. Great chapter. Thanks.
