Before the Fall – Two
Helena’s only response was to pull the covers tighter around her.
“Don’t make me pull you out of bed, Helena. You know how I detest physical labor. Sit up. Now.”
Helena wanted to rebel and stay hidden under her covers but she knew the tone her mother was using. Peggy wasn’t above pulling her out of bed by her ankles.
She thrust the comforter down to reveal her face.
“What are you doing here? Why can’t you bother someone else?” she asked bitterly.
“Because I’ve gotten numerous phone calls about you, my darling devil child. Concerned phone calls. From your professors. From your friends. From Bette Porter.”
Helena perked up at the mention of Bette.
“Bette called?” Helena asked hope springing forth.
“I knew that would get your attention. She wanted to see how you were doing. Since it seems you’ve turned off all your phones. And have been hiding under the covers for over a week!”
“What did she say?”
Maybe Alice had been wrong, she thought excitedly. Bette cared for her after all!
“She wanted to know if you were okay. I told her I hadn’t the faintest clue. She suggested quite strongly that I find out. After more and more calls in the same vain, here I am! So does your current mood have something to do with Ms. Porter?”
Helena refused to answer.
“She told me you thought you were in love with her. She also told me she thought you were just infatuated with her. I hadn’t the heart to tell her the truth. She seemed bent on believing what she was saying.”
Helena glanced at her mother as Peggy gingerly sat down in her desk chair while looking around curiously. Helena realized this was the first time her mother had been to her apartment in the three years she’d had it.
It must be very important for her to be here.
“What truth?” Helena demanded as she sat up further, running a hand through her tangled locks.
Peggy regarded her steadily for a moment before she responded.
“That you are in love with her. Let her keep her delusions.”
“No! She mustn’t keep her delusions, Mummy. She needs to know that I am quite serious. I am in love with her.”

my my Ms Porter all of 26 thinks she’s a grown up??? maybe at 52 she will be!!! and is Helena 19 or 20 and what is the legal age in the USA for sex??? is it 16 or 18?…..besides my queries…this is shaping up to be a good story…
Amazing… I GET this story on so many levels… now let’s see if I can learn something from Helena :) Do post soon, really loving this and your writing. Thank you
Somehow I missed chapter one! This is great, and I hope you continue this journey soon.
Love that Peggy. I’m with Seahurst on Peggy quote. Betty just see Helena as the child she first met. Thanks
I still Bette likes Helena but she is not ready for Helena and really Helena is probably not ready for Bette but your story is very intruiging
Rau age of consent in the UK is 16 yrs old. And I meant to post that Helena is 19 yrs old, but she’s known Bette since she was 17 she was legal then too. Thanks for the reviews.
Rau I didn’t answer your question, lol! U.S. consent is 16 yrs old I believe. Thanks for the review everyone!
Oh man! Come on, Bette! Hell, you’re breaking MY heart. I can SO feel what Helena is going through right now. This story just started, but I already know that it is going to be really good. These first couple of chapters just grab your attention and doesn’t let go until you run out of words to read… because the chapter has ended. LOL! I was so disappointed to see the end of this chapter. Take that a compliment, because it is one. Please, post again when you can. I am very anxious to travel on this journey with Bette and Helena. And, I LOVE Peggy. My goodness, that woman has to be the coolest person to have as a friend. I could definitely hang around with Peggy… if only to hear her talk. She is very direct and I love that!
Amazing how some people can blind themselves to their own feelings… and how far they can get to prevent themselves from seeing the truth… Bette sure has feelings… and sure does not WANT to have… a long long way to go…Keep it up…
Come on, Bette! To quote Peggy, “Don’t be such a pussy!” Lol. Great chapter, I’m hanging on my seat here.
Im really like this story….Please continue it’s like reading a book. PPS
*rolling my eyes at Bette* Git a grip woman!! So afraid…to love and be loved! I am thoroughly enjoying this and am anxiously awaiting the next installment of both stories.
wonderful, wonderful story…I love the play between these two…pls continue and soon
Oh! You’re so good in your writing! Why didn’t I notice your fics earlier! Way to go! :) Please continue!
