“Actually I don’t.”
“You want to act like you’re unaffected by this. By me. Yet you’re the one who’s been calling me non-stop. You’re the one who can’t let go. It kills you that I’ve let you go. You’re so used to me at your beck and call. Following you around like some fucking little puppy! Well no more.”
“I never treated you like that. Never. I never made you do anything for me. You just don’t know how to separate the two. We have a friendship.”
“No. We don’t.”
“What would you call it then?”
“I’d call it a farce. You wanted to be my friend. I wanted to be your friend. But somehow that just isn’t working out.”
“I’d call that six years too fucking late, Helena,” Bette snapped.
“So would I! Look…do us both a favor and let this go. Okay? We’ll move on as if we were never in each other’s lives. We can both do that.”
“Both? Helena that’s…crazy. I can’t just let you disappear from my life. Believe it or not we are friends and I care about you. I don’t want to give you up.”
“And there’s the rub. You don’t want to give me up. You’ve never wanted to give me up. But why? What kind of friends are we? The kind who like to talk? The kind who like to be around each other? The kind, that if they got the chance, would like to fuck? The kind that are in love with each other? Which one is it? Why can’t you give me up? Why won’t you give me a moment’s peace? I want to live…some kind of life where I’m not…agonizing over you!”
“I’m not…I’m not doing it on purpose,” Bette muttered desperately. “Really I’m not. Helena–“
“No. I don’t want to hear any more. I want you to tell me goodbye and don’t call me again. This break is going to be clean and permanent.”
“I can’t do that. I just…can’t.”
“You won’t. That’s what you mean. I’m hanging up now.”
“Wait! Wait. Wait. So what? So what if we’re not “real” friends? We’re friends of a sort. You care for me. I care for you. We care about each other. Cut out of each other’s lives. Helena, that’s cold. Real cold. Why does it have to be this way?”

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!!!!!!
