A Thin Line – Chpt 4
“What it’s ‘got to do’ with it is, you’re always sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong, Alice,†she answered quickly and angrily. “You seem to be on a never ending quest for new sources of gossip. So I thought I’d help you out. I was just trying to have some fun and give you a show, something to get a reaction out of you.â€
“Well, it certainly looks like you were having some fun alright. So I guess you were successful on all counts.â€
Bette’s brown eyes shot me indignant daggers. “Damn it, Alice!â€
I disregarded her reproof, thinking it best to get on with trying to make some sense of the situation.
“So let me see if I’ve got this straight,†I began, thoughtfully wording my understanding of the circumstances before us, “This was all your idea? What Shane and I just observed, out there on the dance floor, between you and Helena, was supposed to be a charade, a plot to get back at me? To teach me a lesson?â€
“Yes,†Bette answered as she slumped against the back of her chair and closed her eyes in an effort to regroup.
I deliberated before continuing. “Well, then, I’m afraid you set yourself up for a major backfire,†I said cautiously. Nervous as hell, I glanced over at Shane for support, before blabbing, “Bette, Helena’s carrying around a major, longstanding infatuation with you. She’s crazy about you.â€
“What?†she exclaimed incredulously, her body shooting forward in the chair, her eyes wide open and her mouth agape.
She stared at me and then at Shane. I nodded, and Shane spoke her agreement. “I think Alice is right, Bette.â€
“And how do you know? What makes you say this?†Bette asked, desperate for elucidation.
How I’d come to my surprising discovery wasn‘t easily explained. And Bette wanted an answer fast. Her eyes were boring holes in me.
“It’s a long story, Bette.â€
“Well, figure out a way to shorten it,†she barked.
“Okay. Don’t get excited,†I shot back, trying to think of something quickly.
“Alice! Now!†Bette cried impatiently.
To avoid angering her further, I just blurted out the first thing that popped into my head, “Because…because she pulled your frickin’ pigtail, damnit!â€

Very Hot, but I miss Bette and Tina together. Keep posting and I just might change my mind.
love, love, love, LOVE it. I doubt the show will ever take this turn, but it can’t stop a girl from dreaming…or reading. keep the story coming.
Yay! Another wonderful post of your Helebette story. I was waiting all week for a new chapet, you got me addicted to your story. Hope you can post some more during the weekend, maybe we’ll get to see Helebette’s first kiss?…Post soon!
So excited to see you posted! I can’t wait to see what’s going to happen next when they get a chance to talk ~ hopefully uninteruppted. Post again soon, please?!
No need to be insecure zheese…your story is amazing – with the perspectives, you provide an insight into how each character perceives the events as they unfold. A welcome explanation of how Alice and Helena came to be friends as well. Bring on the meeting and lose the question mark behind ‘tbc’
The love that Tina and Bette had is not going to compair to the love that Helena has for Bette, She moved fron NY just to be need her and kept her mouth shut now its her time with Bette, Tina will be the loser. thanks
The build up is excellent. Keep up the good work…Tina who…
i really love this helebette thing.. please post again soon..
Oh my gosh, I’m becoming obsessed with this story! It’s amazing. I love it, seriously. I can’t wait for you to continue.I foind myself checking the fanfics of this site like a madwoman every evening in hope of catching a new installment. Keep them coming, I will definitely be anxiously awaiting!!! And graciously reading. :)
Take that ? away from your Tbc and start writing, cause this is a fabulous story! My stomach was in my throat throughout the whole chapter. Thanks!
Are you and JKS one in the same??? Cause this is giving her Helbette a run for it’s money…Really love this, all the detail, descriptions I can feel all that your trying to say..Wonderful…keep going pls pls pls
? To which I respond: ?. You can’t quite now, dammit.
Sorry, its late, I’m tired. I meant ‘quit’.
Very nice! Thanks.
Your perspective and description are unique. The characters’ voice is spot on. I’m a huge TiBetter but when writers can write as well as you then I believe in HeleBette. Pls. continue.
You must continue…Helena and Bette would be so HOT together. Can’t wait for the next chapter.
Just caught up on the last 2 chapters. I’m liking the story told from each character’s perspective. The tension was palpable indeed. You’re doing an excellent job, so, please do continue.
Loving this. Pleas post again soon!
(tbc?)…. of course no question about it!Thanks for updating.
yes please continue………i love helebette….thanks!
great chapter, can’t wait for them to talk about it… thanks.
I love your story! Not only you need to continue but also to post really soon, cant’ wait to see what happen (and hope it’s goodfor helebette). Also love the POV change, esp with Alice
Beautiful chapter Z.. i just read it with Tegan & Sara’s ‘My Number’ in the background (try it) the beat and lull really fit with Helena’s ‘all I wanted and hoped for was the chance to love her’…I love your Helena voice,that she’s so in love and that Bette is being so very gentle. sigh. Thanks..and Zheese? If you need more encouragement to keep this going,u only have to ask because i dont think i’m running out of compliments for your writing :)
I love it. Helena is quite like Bette in some sense, very naive and romantic and not easy to open up. They’re a good match.
Love this story! Pleease continue and drop the ‘?’ forever ^_^
Zheese,Another glorious chapter in this must read story. You have brilliantly captured the uncertainity that both Bette and Helena are feeling. There is a rawness from both gals are they try to understand what just happened. How could something done in jest suddenly become so emotive and demonstrate an honesty that neither would naturally admit to. You have given a truthfully insight into a potentially dynamic love feast. I love the way Alice and Kit have had a hand in this. I can’t wait to see what happens next. You write with such passion that it is all to easy to be consumed by your creative wisdom and carried off to this amazing fantasty land. I do hope that the Powers That Be are watching and taking guidance from how it could be done. You rock! Your Loyal Fan.
can’t wait to see what happens next!!!!!!!
I LOVE IT !!!!!!!!!! Please continue ASAP :-D !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
