    Author Notes:

    If you loved someone how far would you go, to get them to love you back? What if they never loved you?

    “Permanent as far as I am concerned,” she said after a moment turning her eyes to her father. Looking at her mother now would not be wise. Peggy was no doubt chomping at the bit to say some outlandish thing.

    “And at some point after you’ve calmed down you won’t want to move everything back out to L.A.?” Peggy asked a hint of doubt in her words.

    “You think I made this decision lightly?” Helena asked tightly. “You think this is one of my “whims”? That I moved our employees out here because I had a fight with Bette? That had nothing to do with it. This was something that I thought long and hard about. I discussed this with Milton and with the board at length, just because you didn’t hear about it doesn’t mean I didn’t take all the things you’ve said into consideration. I have. It’s done.”

    “It’s not like you to run away from things.”

    “This is me facing facts, Mummy. I’ve wasted my life so far. Pining after Bette like that. I am reconciled with the fact that what I want and what I need are two very different things.”

    “Well I am glad for that,” Astor announced to break the uncomfortable silence that had fallen. “You start over here, luvie. You’re young still, Helena. You have the rest of your life ahead of you. Bette Porter be damned!”

    ““

    “Then I was like, no! No you may not put your hands on me for the sake of art. I told him he’d do better trying that on Bette. Right Bette?”

    Bette turned slowly to look at Alice across the table. They’d been sitting at the dinner table for half an hour and Bette was sure she’d only listened to five minutes of the conversation.

    “What?” she asked dully.

    She had not been paying attention at all. Her mind always seemed to be on Helena. Since Helena had been gone it seemed all she had done was dwell upon it. Helena was constantly in her thoughts.

    “I was just telling everyone about—“

    “Alice I need a drink. Is there more wine in the kitchen?” Bette interrupted Alice as she rose from the dining room table. “Anyone else want anything?” she asked looking around the table.

    2. Oh Speedy. I was having chest pain through out that painful conversation with Bette and Helena. What the hell is wrong with Bette, why won’t she admit what she is feeling, why is she afraid to give into it. How awful for Helena and now what the hell has happened to Bette Please, please please, please post soon. My chest is heavy :-(

    3. You’ve been hinting that we will find out why our playa Bette is so reluctant to be involved with Helena. I wonder if they are related??? Is Bette the offspring, bastard child of Astor? Does she know this, so knows she cannot even begin to lay hands on Helena? I hope I’m wrong… Please tell me I am wrong. I hope for a happy ending but sometimes it just isn’t what we want. Brillant as stated before. You definately have skills.

    5. Squirl, no! No, no, no. That thought never crossed my mind. I wouldn’t be able to write something like that anyway. Rest assured I am not Jerry Springer. There’s no blood relation between Bette and Helena. None. Breath easy. Whew!

    11. What in the world was the inspiration for Peggy and Astor? Those two are really special. Great description, I felt as though I was there. Ok, what was really the impetus for the current situation that B and H find themselves experiencing? Is H truly tired of pining or did something specific occur? Ummmm…..what’s AU? The two stories almost feel like they fit together, almost! BYMAPS

    13. Good work, really. And although I like some of those, it IS nice to read a good story with proper grammar & spelling.Keep up with the excellent work, I’m really looking forward to the next episode.

    14. lwfan_niki AU is alternate universe. Which since this isn’t cannon, it would be AU. The two stories won’t resemble each other too much hopefully. Thanks a lot guys.

    15. Good god :( this chapter made MY heart ache too… you’re cutting us right to the core with this story Speedy… I hope you have happy ending and give us hope. Thanks for this..

    16. See a good reason why you shouldn’t drink so much, speedy, I LOVE this story and especially that it’s not focused on tina. I love how you write these two, pls post soon, I’m hanging on the edge of my seat!!!

    17. OMG! You’re making my heart ache with this chapter! I… shit! I’ve been where Helena is and this chapter just brought it all home to me. dman, you’re good! Despite the heartache and gut-wrenching conversations, this is written superbly. I am so into this story. You’ve got some serious talent there, Speed. I hate to see the end of each chapter. That’s a sure sign of something great! Please, continue. Preferably, real soon..lol! If there was a rating, you’d get 5 stars for all of the chapters so far! Magnificent job you’re doing. Keep it up!

    18. I can’t stop reading this story…I am a Tibetter but this story is so appealing. The tension between the two of them is so powerful. I don’t know what is holding Bette back from admitting to Helena that she means the world to her…you have written this so well I am on the edge of my seat. Will Helena make it back to LA? Keep posting.
