“Yes. And it wasn’t sudden. I thought about this quite a bit before I did anything.”
“Right. Well. You two aren’t fighting then? Because Bette seemed upset when I spoke to her.”
“Well Bette’s disposition hasn’t always been pleasant. You must have caught her on a bad day. I don’t know what her problem is.”
“Are saying Bette’s okay with your move here?”
Helena shrugged.
“I wouldn’t know. We aren’t talking.”
“But you said that you two weren’t fighting?” Peggy said questioningly.
“We aren’t. I just can’t have her in my life. I just…can’t.”
“Because of–“ Astor began to say.
“Because I’m finished with her! Things have changed. I have changed! And I don’t want to bloody fucking talk about it any longer! Okay? Hilda is dinner ready?” Helena called out angrily.
“I feel the need for a bottle of Chablis. You need a good wallop over the head, Helena. Who do you think you are speaking to me and your father like that? You’ll show us respect or else!”
Helena glared at her parents.
“Or else what?” she asked in contempt.
“You’re not too old for me to put over my knee, Helena,” Astor snapped as he shifted closer to Peggy. Showing a united front.
Helena’s lip curled up in disgust and she shoved back from the table.
“I’m leaving.”
“Sit down,” Astor and Peggy said at the same time.
“I would rather leave before things are said that should not be,” Helena said stiltedly.
“Sit down,” Astor ordered again. “It’s time we had a serious discussion about your behavior.”
Peggy laughed and stared at Astor.
“Really, Astor! She’s not fifteen years old here. Helena sit down. We want to talk to you. We really would like to see where your head is at. You’ve made big life changes and we’re all aware that the reasons are not pure.”
“So in other words is this a permanent move?” Astor asked.
Helena sighed again and settled more comfortably in her chair before she glanced around the room. She really did not want to have this discussion. Not with her parents, and not with her friends either.
Talking about it would mean she’d been defeated. She was never going to attain her ultimate goal. But the truth was that she was never going to have Bette and after all this time she had finally come that realization.

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!!!!!!
