Helena’s move to New York was as permanent as it could get.
Leaning back in her chair she didn’t allow herself to think as she deleted the e-mail.
It might have been a selfish thing to do but Bette was glad that she’d found the e-mail. It meant that she’d hopefully been in the process of being honest with Helena.
Seeing this meant that even before the accident she had made a decision.
Just like Helena had made the decision to come back here and pretend to be her lover.
While before the accident Helena’s protestations about being over her had made her doubt herself, now she knew Helena was still in love with her.
And she was in love with Helena.
What the hell was she going to do about it?
“I thought you said you’d be a minute, Bette? It’s been like ten. You ready?”
Bette clicked out of her e-mail and rose to her feet.
“Let’s go,” she said decisively.
“So, I was thinking after the movie we could stop by The Planet to get a coffee,” Alice tried to casually say.
Bette glanced at her.
“Starbucks in just down the street, we can stop there, if you want?”
“No. No. You know how–well I guess you wouldn’t remember- but it makes me sick. Their coffee is like too expensive and just too fucking much! I swear–“
“Alice take a breath,” Bette urged as they left Bette’s office and took the elevator back downstairs.
“Right,” Alice said taking a huge breath.
“And I do remember some things. Not everything. Like how you like to babble when you’re trying to keep a secret. But it’s okay I won’t tell anyone.”
“You remember things? Me? Me? What about me? Do you remember that you love me? Me, right?”
“Pleasant memories about you dear Alice. Shane. Dana. Kit. Laura. Carmen. Everyone.”
“Everyone? Helena? So you know…”
“That Helena and I aren’t together? Yes.”
“So it’s not new Bette anymore. It’s old Bette. Right?”
Waving goodbye to James they left the gallery and Bette linked arms with Alice causing Alice to come to a complete stop and stare at her.
“A new Bette with a little of the old Bette mixed in. I’m trying for a change, Alice. Trying to figure out just how to be this…new Bette.”

let me be the first to say–faaaantastic! you’re developing this story in such amazing ways. i loved how you took away the jodi factor and gave us back carmen. heh. clever, you are. helena shouldn’t take no crap from bette, but bette is such a lovable control freak…they just have to reunite. pps:)
Oh I am so happy to see a new chapter of this story. Can’t wait for the next. Oh and this one was great btw, lol.
i feel like i’ve just had a refreshing coca-cola…ahhhhhh…that was good…what will helena say, will she open the letter, will she say bette do like a banana and split, will she go running like the lady in the harlequin novels, whatever she does, let her do it soon…hint-hint, please post soon..really enjoy your story.
You put the 17 Reasons Why sign to much better use than IC did. How can Helena resist contrite Bette? That letter better not go astray!
Very nice. I was very excited to see that this got updated. Post again soon please? ‘Cause I can’t wait to see what Helena’s reaction is gonna be to Bette’s letter.
Lovely chapter as always, Speedy. Alice is adorable, and its nice to see Bette so… nice :D Thanks for this!
Please don’t stay away so long again…
I love this story. I hope that you’ll continue. It is so great, and I want to know what Helena’s reaction to Bette is.
Aww, this chapter was great. So cute! I’m glad that in losing her memory and getting it back, Bette doesn’t see the point of denying her love for Helena anymore. Alice is so hilarious, and Dana is always cute of course. Post soon, Speedy. ;)

yay speedy! Alice is the most adorable charcter on this show! She makes me laugh all the time and her lines in your story were lovely! The letter…that was really touching. Really really well-written. basically like everything you write :))) PPS!
The letter was so sweet! Awwwwwwwww… I hope that Helena will be as touched as I am when she reads it. :D Soooo nice update! It was a long wait! All worth it! You’re a good writer, I like the way you put the emotions in it, so raw, yet so natural. :D Keep up the great work! Thank you for writing, speedy!
I’m with rufus.I’m anxious now about what will happen with that letter. Will it actually get to Helena and how will she receive it. Is it to much too little too late. I hope not.The banter between Alice and Bette is so on spot. Greaet uptake. PPS
The letter was lovely – Helena would have to be made of stone to ignore it. This was a wonderful update.
u know I’m so NOT into helbette but I am so rooting for this couple which is a tribute to your storytelling skills..love it and more pleasz.
Bette and Alice was so cute, you portrayed them very well…. The letter was great…. I can’t wait to see what happens next, please update soon, thanks!!!
I just absolutely love this! Are you planning on continuing it? Because I’d be really sad if you don’t. I want to see where this goes. The idea is really original and your writing is superb. So,please,think about it?
