“What are you doing?” Astor asked at last.
“What? What do you mean?”
“What do I mean? I mean, luvie, what are you doing here? With Bette? Your mother told me that Bette has no memory of her life. So, I ask again what are you doing here?”
“Would you rather I walk away? Bette needs me.”
“No. She’s never needed you Helena and that’s something you’ve yet to accept. She’s used you and ignored you and made you miserable for years now.”
“You don’t know what you’re talking about,” Helena denied instantly.
“I seem to recall a number of phone calls where you sobbed that Bette would never love you. How you complained about Bette and how she would never see you as more than a friend.”
Helena stopped walking and leaned against the wall waiting for her father to notice she wasn’t walking with him.
He did at last and paused turning around.
“Helena?” he asked sternly.
“Pop.”
“Helena, luv, all I want is what’s best for you. Do you understand? This? Being here? It’s not a good thing,” Astor said as he walked back towards her.
“Abandon her? In the worst time of her life? Even if I weren’t in love with her, what kind of friend would that make me? I certainly would like to think the army of nannies you all hired raised me better.”
Astor grimaced and shook his head.
“What’s going on here? Your mother told me Bette didn’t have her memories. Tell me why I get the sense that you’re not telling us everything? I can see from the look on your face there’s something…”
Helena ducked her head and hid behind her falling hair.
“Helena…”
“There’s been…a development that was unexpected.”
“How so?” Astor asked as he settled next to her against the wall and slipped her hand into his and giving it a squeeze.
“Some how Bette’s come to think I’m her…girlfriend and she really trusts me. Which means that if we were to tell her the truth it would be detrimental to her recovery.”
“That sounds like complete rubbish, Helena! Are you saying you’ve–“
“Don’t say it,” Helena snapped. “I didn’t manipulate things to suit me, okay?”
“I didn’t mean that. I’m sorry. I just know that you love her so much that it can and does overcome your common sense. So you’re going to go along with this?”

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
