They hadn’t called.
She listened to Bette’s message impassively.
“Glad I’m gone?” Helena echoed aloud.
She shook her head and resisted the urge to call Bette back and argue with her. They were quite good at arguing with one another.
But she was past that now.
Past fighting for Bette and everything she’d wanted with her.
“You’re glad I’m gone? Well so am I.”
““
Bette tried to concentrate on the road, but that was rather difficult since she was holding a conversation with Helena’s voicemail once again.
“…repeatedly, okay? I just don’t need it. I don’t understand why you’re doing this to me, Helena. What did I ever do to you? I just—“ Bette cut herself off as the voice mail cut off.
She re-dialed with one hand and drove with the other.
“Why do you insist on calling me?” Helena asked and Bette’s hands jerked on the steering wheel at the sound of Helena’s voice.
“Helena! Why do I insist? Maybe because you won’t talk to me.”
“That is usually a clue that I don’t want to talk to you,” Helena muttered.
“Well it’s not going to work. I have some things I want to say to you,” Bette announced keeping an eye on the road.
“I think we’ve said all there was to say.”
“No. You did. I didn’t get to say anything. You’ve been gone three months, Helena. And in those three months you haven’t taken my phone calls! Why? We’re friends.”
“I don’t want to be friends with you.”
The words hurt more than they had a right to.
“Is this because…because of you know?” she asked hesitantly. It had been an unspoken agreement that they never spoke about that night.
“No. Listen Bette it’s just the way things are now. I can’t be around you and I like things the way that they are.”
“So you can be friends with all our friends but just not with me? You’re really making me feel special here, Hels. I can’t believe just because I’m not in love with you, you have to move across the country to get away from me! That’s extreme.”
Helena’s laugh was rough and ugly.
“You think that’s what this is about? Really Bette? I moved because of that? You need to be serious here. You know why I moved. You know why I’m here. You know why I am not talking to you. You know.”

What a pleasant surprise. Now I have to go back and read.
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 :-(
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.
Bette is so BULL-HEADED! Hopefully that’ll change.
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!
I have never been so happy to be wrong. THANKS. Waiting with baited-breath for your next chapter
Damn this is good speedy!!!!! but you know youre wrong for leaving us hanging like that right
Grrr, you suck, leaving us hanging like that. But aside from that, I am very much enjoying this story and can’t wait to read more.
Wow! Now there’s a cliffhanger!! Thanks!
please speed posta again soon.. great chapter.. i love belena stories..
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
I’m sure that every reader has heart ache from Helena and Bette’s attitude and conversation. You’re so cruel leaving us on a cliffhanger! lol.
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.
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.
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..
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!!!
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!
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.
i soooooo luv this story, this is a different side of bette, that i think is really sexy!!!!now hurry up and write!!!!!!
