Before the Fall – Six
“Okay. Well I can take a hint.”
“No! Could you…stay? Please?”
Helena settled back into her seat.
“Yes. As long as you’d like.”
Bette managed a small smile before her eyes closed.
“Thanks…”
““
Some how she had hoped that it had really gone away. That she’d only imagined it in all the chaos. That friendship had been mistaken for romantic love. She and Bette were best friends after all. She had tried so hard and yet it had been futile. There had been no point to it, because she’d still been in love with Bette.
Which made all this the more difficult.
She sighed as she watched Bette sleep.
All these questions Bette had and the answers were things they couldn’t really tell her. All because she’d made a mistake. Now the situation was if possible even more stressful.
Helena didn’t even know how she was going to explain everything that made up Bette’s life. How she was going to explain to Bette that she’d been a hardened, wary, and fragile woman?
How was she going to explain why Kit had left like she had? How was she going to explain to Bette that her parents had been incredibly messed up people and had abandoned her?
She didn’t even know all of the hurts that made up Bette Porter, all she knew was that when she’d met Bette she hadn’t known better than to fall for her.
Unattainable, she thought. That was Bette Porter. Or had been Bette Porter.
This was a new Bette.
She didn’t know how she was supposed to act around Bette or how to respond when Bette asked all kinds of questions that should have been easy to answer.
“There you are.”
Helena jerked in her chair and turned to see her father standing in the doorway staring at Bette.
“What are you doing here?” Helena asked in a whisper as she rose to her feet.
“Shall we take this outside?” Astor asked.
Helena nodded and with one last glance at Bette followed her father out of the room and into the hallway.
“Walk with me, Helena.”
Helena wanted to argue but her father hadn’t meant it as a request so she fell into step with him.

Wow…Tina has a point. When Bette finds out what is going on that’s it…I love this story. Thank you for the 7 pages…I still want more. Keep posting.
this is so intriguing…i wonder who will win, tina or helena or neither…it seems a coma can change a person’s enitre personality…maybe bette will chuck them all in…please post as soon as possible
You know i love this story… and I can’t help but feel a little sorry for Tina. BUt everyone is talking like what if BEtte doesn’t get her memories…blah blah…BUT what if Bette does get her memories back…she will not be a happy camper knowing that she was quite literally taken advantage of…time will tell…
Woah, emotional overload! lol. I think the Bette Porter we all know and love will come back in full force if she finds out that they’ve been lying to her. No wonder they’re keeping schtum! Can’t wait for the next chapter!
Speedy, you’ve been one busy racer! ;) – 7 damn pages…oh mah goodnezz! I couldn’t read it all at one time. But, now that I’m done, I think that since Bette has just been awakened by Amanda, Tina’s on her way out the hospital, and Bette is not leaving until tomorrow afternoon means that Helena needs to march her pretty azz right back into that room, sit down, and tell Bette the truth. Memories or no memories, Bette is not detached from reality – she can tell that everyone is keeping something from her. Helena, along with the truth needs to tell Bette the reason behind the lie. I’d much rather see Bette pissed off now than pissed off later.
I watched a TV drama before, where the husband had an affair with the mistress for YEARS. But then when he met a car accident, he completely couldn’t remember the mistress at all. Even when he saw the photos. Kind of sad really… although that can happen. In this case, I think that’s how Tina feels… I feel sorry for Tina, being the girlfriend and all that, but forgotten. I sense a war here.. It’s exciting, but I do root for Helena and Bette to be together… :D
Just catching up….All is can say is “Wow”!!! BYMAPS
I’m with Pandamel I love this story.. God what a mess our girls are in. Perhaps Helena can tell Bette that they broke up and she was with Tina lately. So sad the Tina has known for years that Bette had feelings for Helena, everyone knew. Perhaps now is finally the time when no one is lying to Bette. Helena has always been Bette’s love. Its a part of her “embedded code”. Everyone is just finally admitting it. What a great story. Thanks for the early Christmas gift
