Goodbye Party- Chapter 5

March 20, 2012-Ohio State Rehabilitation Center

Helena laid back in her bed and smiled. It was nice that her family came to visit her, even Winnie was pleasant. They promised to visit every two weeks and Helena couldn’t be happier. It was the happiest she had been in years.

Her mom was on her way to visit her now. Helena of course felt terrible that her mother was getting worse healthwise, she was scared she wouldn’t be able to be clean before…

The door opened and the adorable little six year old boy that captured her heart walked in with his usual grin.

"David!" Helena said happily as the little boy climbed onto the bed and hugged her. 

"Hi momma," David said. Though Helena was in no way the little boy’s mother, she had helped to raise the boy along with his father and took the role of mother.

It was when in her drunk state that she left the stove of the kitchen on and the house went up in flames with little David inside. The firefighters saved him on time but not without permanent burns on his arms and legs. That’s when Helena put herself in the rehab center. She couldn’t bear to hurt her little boy.

It was at the moment that the little boy’s father, who had become way closer friends to Helena than they were in LA, walked into the room.

"Max," Helena said with a small smile.

The transgender boy was only too happy to see Helena smiling and much fatter. She was anorexic before and Max was worried. He had found Helena drunk on the streets five years ago in his hometown in Oklahoma.

He was already moving to a nice suburban house in Ohio since he was stable enough to raise his son on his own. He couldn’t leave an old friend behind so he brought her along. They lived together for four years and a half before the incident occured. Max and David missed Helena very dearly but the rehab people said it would be another 6 months before she would be set free.

 "Hi Helena," Max said sitting on the other side of the delicate brunette.

Helena’s eyes filled with tears as she released David to firmly hug her savior. Max had eventually done the operation he was so scared of before, so the firm manly chest was a comfort to Helena. There was some other surgeries Max wanted to do, and that was something they were arguing about the day before.
