    Before the Fall – Four

    “So you understand the urgency of this?” Helena was saying.

    “Yes. Yes I see now,” Dr. Davis said with a sigh.

    Helena smiled.

    “Good. I’ll send one of our planes for you post haste. I’ve already sent you all the pertinent information that you’ll need. I’ll see you in a few hours Dr. Davis.”

    “Goodbye Ms. Peabody,” Dr. Davis said tiredly.

    “Goodbye, Dr. Davis,” Helena said tightly before she closed her cell phone.

    She stood for a moment contemplating what her next step would be. She’d spent much of the last two days trying to establish the best medical team possible for Bette.

    The best orthopedic doctor in the country to look over her broken leg, and the best neurosurgeon to look over what the Cedars-Sinai’s resident neurosurgeon did just to make sure everything had been done correctly.

    Truth was she hadn’t spent more than a few minutes in Bette’s room. She couldn’t force herself to stay in there longer than that. Just looking at Bette and seeing her so broken…

    It completely gutted her on every emotional level.

    It only brought home how deluded she’d been in her thinking. Just because she moved as far as she dared away from Bette didn’t change a thing. As much as she would like to think that she was beyond Bette it just wasn’t possible.

    And it seemed like it never would be possible.

    Her timing was just the worst.

    Helena strode back into the hospital lost in thought.

    If Bette died…

    She inhaled sharply at that thought.

    If Bette died she would never get over it. She just knew it. She would never be able to get beyond Bette’s death. She would become some sort of emotional cripple and be unhappy for the rest of her life.

    Which, she mused, wasn’t too far from what she was like now. Unhappy and emotionally unbalanced. Or so her psychiatrist said.

    She lingered outside Bette’s room for a moment. Everything she’d wanted to do was done and now she had nothing to distract her.

    She stepped into Bette’s room and stood off to the side letting her eyes skim over Bette’s prone figure and land on Alice who sat at Bette’s bedside.

    “I was just talking to her,” Alice whispered.
