    Before the Fall – Two

    Bette lowered her head in shame and closed her eyes. She knew she’d done the wrong thing. The worst thing she could have possibly done was to laugh and then to run away like she had.

    What the hell was wrong with her?

    “I don’t need you to rub it in, Alice. I need your help in fixing this mess. I acted like a complete ass. It’s just not something I was expecting.”

    “Are you serious?” Alice asked incredulously.

    Bette opened her eyes and frowned.

    “What? Are you not surprised? Am I the only one shocked by this?” Bette demanded angrily.

    “Well…yeah. I mean we thought Helena had a crush on you. But love makes more sense. It is obvious. She’s always around you whenever you’re together, and she’s always calling you, and then there’s the way she looks at you.”

    “Infatuation. It’s infatuation, Alice! She is not in love with me. I know that. I mean how can she love me? Me? I’m arrogant, irritable, self absorbed, and bitchy! Those aren’t qualities to love in someone. I called her a child! To her face!"

    “And yet Helena is not the first to love you, Bette. You just don’t want to believe it. There’s a long line of women with broken hearts because of you.”

    “And that’s why Helena can’t be in love with me. I can’t believe I didn’t see it. I mean sure she opens up to me and we can talk about anything. But I just thought we were good friends like that.”

    “So she shows you another side of herself and you just thought she did that because you’re friends? Bette you really need to open your eyes! And those traits you described about yourself, you could have been describing Helena. You’re like two fucking peas in a pod or something.”

    “No. Helena’s not like that. Not like me. Not to that extent. I mean…she’s fragile.”

    “Fragile? Are we talking about the same Helena Peabody? The woman who shouted down Branson Williams when he was on his anti-gay warpath? Fragile? In what universe?”

    “Okay, she’s fragile around me. Around me, Alice. I guess she shows me another side of herself like you said.”

    “Right. Is that why you’re so mean to her?”

    1. This has got to be my new favorite Peggy Peabody line!!…….”Don’t make me pull you out of bed, Helena. You know how I detest physical labor. Sit up. Now.”…….Fabulous! Thanks!

    2. 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…

    3. 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

    4. 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.

    5. 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!

    6. 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…

    7. *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.
