“Nothing that she didn’t need to know,” Tina said loftily.
“You know what her doctors said. We’re not to overwhelm her! And telling her everything right now isn’t going to help. You were going to tell what was going on, weren’t you?”
Tina scowled fiercely and shook her head.
“I can’t believe you! I can’t believe that you’ve put us in this situation, Helena. I know you’re selfish and self centered, but I always thought you had Bette’s best interest at heart.”
“Don’t question my loyalty to Bette. I would do anything for her and you bloody well know it.”
“And that’s the fucking problem,” Tina spat. “It’s always been this way. You want her. You’ve always wanted her. I know that and now this? This is the way you’re going get her, right? What if she never recovers her memories and you go on your merry way just like this? How can you stand it? How can you lie to her face like that and say you love her?”
“Because that’s what we have to do,” Helena said coldly. “Because this is the mess we’re in. Because I love her. Because she needs me.”
“Because you made her need you.”
Helena shook her head and muffled a laugh.
“Are we talking about this new Bette or the old Bette? Tina don’t drag yourself down like this. Just concentrate on helping me and the girls get Bette adjusted.”
“You’re lording the fact that Bette’s always had a thing for you over me. You’ve always done that.”
“I don’t know what you’re talking about. But Bette’s never really had a thing for me,” Helena found herself saying.
Tina stared at her in disbelief.
“Now you’re just lying. I dealt with it because there was nothing I could do to stop it. But then you moved and it was like…Bette wilted. She wasn’t the same and it was because of you. And now you’re back and taking her from me all over again.”
Helena swallowed and closed her eyes.
“I’m sorry, Tina. I don’t know what to say. Things between Bette and I have always been complicated. But I want you to know that I’m not using this to usurp you in her life.”
“But you already have. She thinks I’m some kind of friend! And that you’re her girlfriend. I saw the way she looked at you,” Tina muttered rubbing at her watering eyes. “She’s never looked at me like that. Even when she had her memories.”
Helena opened her eyes and had to look away at the sight of Tina crying.
“I’m sorry,” Helena whispered.
“I’m not going to let you have her.”
“She’s not something to be fought over, Tina.”
“But she is. She’s amazing. She’s just…so… I love her, Helena. I do and there is no way you’re going to just waltz in and take her from me.”
“I didn’t have to take her,” Helena said her voice soft but with an edge. “She’s always been mine, and that’s just the way things are. It’s just time she realized it.”
Helena turned from Tina and walked away.
“She’ll never forgive you,” Tina called after her.
Helena ignored her.
Everything she’d ever wanted, but at what cost?
How much was this going to cost her? She had the sinking feeling that it would cost her everything.

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
