    Author Notes:

    .

     

    “What are we going to do with you, hmmm?” she asked, looking down at the worry lines creasing Tina’s sleeping brow. 

     

    An even more puzzling question to Helena, though, was how Bette could have abandoned Tina in this condition.  After Bette’s Herculean efforts to win Tina back, what sense did it possibly make for her to walk away now, when they needed each other most?  Hadn’t they learned anything about their own responses to tragedy from all that they’d been through together?  Was Bette still so surprised that Tina wanted someone who could remain emotionally open and available to her, especially during the hardest times? 

     

    There was certainly no love lost between Helena and Bette.  And, if Helena was completely honest with herself, she knew that a big reason for their prickly relationship was because they were more alike than not.  But the differences between them were marked.  And as far as Helena could see, the key difference now was that she learned from her mistakes.  And Bette, unfortunately, did not.

     

    Tina moaned quietly and Helena leaned close to her ear, whispering, “It’s going to be okay.  We’ll figure this out.”

     

    —

    When Tina woke up a few hours later to hushed voices, she thought she had fallen asleep with the television on.  But after she sat up and looked around, she could see that the set was dark.  She squinted at the sun filtering through her thin curtains, and tried to focus her fuzzy thoughts.  Helena had been with her last night.  She had just shown up at Tina’s door, as if this was a perfectly normal occurrence.

     

    As if on cue, Helena led a delivery boy from the kitchen to the front door.  “Good morning, Darling,” she said with a smile, seeing the teenager out before joining Tina on the couch.

     

    “Good morning,” Tina said, pushing her hair out of her eyes.

     

    “I’ve got croissants, granola, fresh fruit.  All your favorites.  And coffee, of course.  Very strong, just as it should be,” Helena smiled.  “Why don’t you get in the shower and by the time you’re done, I’ll have everything ready.”

     

    “Helena, I I appreciate the thought, but I haven’t been very hungry,” Tina said.

     

    “I know that your heart isn’t hungry, but your body is starving.  We’ve got to put some weight on you or you’re going to end up in hospital.”

     

    “Ium I’ve been having trouble keeping things down.”

     

    “We’ll start slowly, then.  A few bites.  That’s a reasonable request, isn’t it?”

     

    “But–”

     

    “Tina.  You’ve got to fight.  You can’t give up,” Helena said, squeezing Tina’s hand.  “There’s still so much to live for, even if you can’t see it right now.”

     

    Tina exhaled slowly, considering.

     

    “Come on,” Helena urged.  “A hot shower is the perfect way to start the day.”

     

    “Okay,” came the tentative reply.

     

    “Lovely.”

    1. what the hell? where’s bette? is helena trying to get tina back that way? what bette isn’t there? i agree with helena – why to get back together and then split again? i’m too sad

    6. Yes Bette needs to come back. Maybe let Tina open up to Helena about still loving Bette? And Helena doing the right thing by contact Bette and tell her to get home. Yes that’s it, they have to do that, Right? well, post soon.

    8. Tina is not anorexic..she is in pain..lose a daugther is one of the most painfull experience to a mother…she need time and help to get through and i hate to say this but im glad Helena is there to help her when Bette dosent.. that story is painful but i have faith they will find peace and confort in their hearts..post soon

    10. I am beginning to like this Helena! For all her faults, she always seems to know how to “fix” things. If now, she can only be the pillar of strength for Tina but, also for Bette. It would be nice to see if this is going to be the turning point for Helena, where she realizes that doing something for others, without the hidden agenda, could actually bring her the true friendship of others, as well as happiness.

    11. Dare I say that this Helena is growing on me. She seems to want Tina just to be well with no hidden agenda. Now I would LOVE this Helena is if she confronts Bette and makes it right between Tina and Bette.

    15. dont know if im emotionally strong enough to read this. for various reasons. this is to hard and close to home. hmmmm. making me confront stuff that i thought i was slowly getting over. but do you really ever. excellent. can never deny that of your writing or your path. thanks.
