    Author Notes:

    Alice’s POV on Helebette

    “No, I just got out of yoga class. I was gonna go pick up a bite to eat at that little café down the street and then …”

    I stopped myself, curiosity getting the better of me. I started to ask, ‘Helena, it’s all so…what?’ when she interrupted.

    “I’ve got an idea. Why don’t we go together? I sense you could appreciate someone to talk with. And it might be just what the doctor ordered for me to start sharing some of what I’m learning.” Helena offered.

    “But didn’t you just sign in at the desk,” I asked, still a little wary of who I was dealing with. After all she had spent nearly a year perceived as the ‘enemy’, an obstacle to two of my best friends’ reconciliation.

    “I only stopped in to sign up for some new meditation classes. I’ve been coming here for a few weeks now and it’s proved quite insightful. Actually I’m slowly learning how to create some peace in my life. You might find it interesting…my little sojourn. And, only if you feel like it, you can tell me all about your troubles with Dana,” Helena coaxed.

    “Lunch will be my treat of course. And my pleasure. It’ll do us both good. What do you say?”

    I knew she was right. I did need someone new to talk to. My circle of friends was quickly growing weary of hearing about how I couldn’t live without Dana. Besides, you know me, I’ve never been one to walk away from a good story. And I was pretty sure Helena was offering a good one.

    Picking up my yoga mat and wiping my eyes, I stood and answered her, “You talked me into it.”

    “Let’s go then,” Helena replied, hooking her arm in mine as we marched out of the Yoga Center.

    Suddenly, a memory overtook me. I turned to look at Helena and asked, “Did I ever tell you ‘thank you’ for that hickey-hiding scarf?”

    *******************

    Over lunch, Helena was so obliging.

    She listened intently as I told her every detail about Dana and I splitting up. Her concern and empathy were apparent . When I’d get really choked up, she’d hold my right hand with her left palm up, touching mine. Then, as if trying to sweep my pain away, with long gentle motions to the back of my hand she’d gently soothe me with her right hand’s fingertips. It felt so good to talk, and to be listened to, especially by someone who had so recently had a similar type of experience. And Helena thoughtfully allowed me all the time I needed to spill my sorrow.

    4. Yes! Finally, another Helebette story! God, these two are hot together, and I’m glad that this fandom pairing is picking up pace, because these two really should find each other on the show. Wonderfully written, post more soon!

    11. I have been waiting to see if you were going to update, but since you haven’t yet, I’ll comment. I really like the way this is beginning and would love to see you continue. It’s good to see a different side of Helena and actually have some detailed explanation for the change. It would also be great to have a chance to see how Bette recovers from the breakup with Tina and moves on with her life. Thanks! Please don’t keep us waiting too long.

    14. I have seen very few pull off Alice’s point of view, but you do it flawlessly…and your characterizations are lovely. I’m glad there’s more to read! Excellent work!

    16. Bette and Helena,that sound as good as Tina and Henry. Really sounds better to me Two beautiful strong will women together. Helena is in love with Bette now now to get Bette on the ball. thanks
