“What’s all this talk about sex for? You guys not having any?” Bette asked smiling.
“We’re seeing how far we can take this. Usually you never talk about anything you don’t want to talk about.”
“I…let’s talk about something else,” Bette requested. “I haven’t had any alcohol so this conversation will have to wait.”
“Remember that time we stole that sign for me?” Shane asked.
“You mean that seventeen reasons why sign? The one you wanted so you could tell Carmen that you loved her? That sign?” Bette asked with a slow grin.
“Aww. That was so sweet baby…” Carmen said kissing Shane.
“What about…” Dana began.
And so that’s how the rest of the night went.
Amazingly enough Bette didn’t find herself getting annoyed with her friends’ childish antics, Alice’s babbling, Dana’s clueless looks or Shane’s completely laid back demeanor. She was relaxed for what seemed like the first time in years and in fact enjoyed herself thoroughly.
Alice came back home with her after a stop to get some ice cream from Cold Stone Creamery.
“Bette…will you do something with me?” Alice asked licking her melting cone as she walked up the walk to the house.
“Should I be worried?”
“Let’s watch a scary movie!”
Alice bounced around much like a child with too much energy and too much sugar. Bette watched her in amazement.
“Let me take a nap, okay? And then when I get up we can watch something.”
“Something scary?”
“Something,” Bette said again.
“Scary?”
“Yes! Okay. Scary. But not too scary, Alice. You know you’ll have nightmares,” Bette felt compelled to say.
“You do know me!” Alice said happily as she unlocked the door and stepped in.
Bette made sure Alice would let her take an hour long nap before taking another pain pill as she headed for bedroom.
As she lay in bed her mind was too busy for her to go to sleep.
Thoughts circled and circled around her brain and there was nothing she could do to stop it.
She had told herself she was on a new path but so far it didn’t feel quite right yet.
And she knew why.
She didn’t want to hold grudges and didn’t want to live in the past anymore.

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. ;)
great letter…bette is so nice…NOW….PPS
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?
