“Well that did help. But just because you had the money didn’t mean it would be a success. You did that Bette. Your passion and drive have made the galleries what they are today. You can be proud of that fact.”
“I’m going to get so see one of these galleries right?”
“Absolutely. As soon as you’re home.”
“How come we don’t live together?”
Bette watched as Helena looked panicked and unsure for a moment before the emotions were wiped from her face. She knew whatever Helena was going to say wouldn’t be the whole truth. It was the same look she’d seen everyone else get when she asked certain questions.
What was so bad that they couldn’t tell her?
“Oh…well we’re both independent and like our privacy. It never really came up actually. We liked how things were.”
“Right,” Bette couldn’t keep the skepticism from her voice. This felt odd, this whole situation felt odd. These people were kind of odd.
Hell even she was odd.
“You sound like you don’t believe me,” Helena remarked.
“I guess I’ll learn more once I’m out of here, right? Isn’t that what you told me?”
Helena sat back and arched a brow.
“Do you want me to overwhelm you? A deluge of things that will confuse you? I can if you’d like. I can tell you all about your family. All the problems. About your friends. Everything about your businesses. I can say a lot of things, Bette. You wouldn’t grasp it all. It would mean nothing to you and that’s not the point. The point is for you to understand where you’ve come from and where you were when the accident happened. Just telling you everything all at once won’t help you recover your memories. I think once you start talking to Dr. Adams you’ll see what I mean.”
“But it feels like you’re keeping me in the dark on purpose.”
“Not purposely. Because the doctors told us this was how we are supposed to go about this. I know that you feel at the mercy of everyone else and powerless, but we’re all trying to help you any way we can.”
Bette nodded.
“Okay. I…I’m tired. I think I’m going to take a nap,” Bette said after a moment.

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
