    Before the Fall – Two

    “I am not mean to her!” Bette declared indignantly.

    “Yeah, you kinda are. Some of the things you say! I mean you seem to be constantly out to poke at her. Calling her a child and such.”

    “No, no. I don’t do that on purpose. Well not all of the time. And sometimes Helena does act like a child! I don’t want to hurt Helena. I really don’t.”

    “So maybe it’s subconscious then? A way to dissuade Helena from feeling anything for you? Because that’s all that comes to mind, Bette. From the start it’s been this way. You push and Helena lets you. You can talk anyway you want to her and sometimes she’ll reciprocate, but mostly she lets you get away with it.”

    “I…don’t! Do I really act like that?” Bette asked after a long silence. She was dismayed to think that she did treat Helena like that. It was wrong and no one deserved to be treated like that, much less Helena. Who was a good and dear friend to her, even if she was young.

    “For sure. I don’t know I guess I just assumed that you were putting up with Helena because of Peggy. I mean we love her. Helena’s awesome. I just never got where you stood with her.”

    “I like Helena. I like being friends with Helena,” Bette muttered. She did like Helena. Helena had grown on her over time and now she couldn’t picture her life without the youngest Peabody in it.

    “But then why do you always try to get under skin? Nettle her all of the damn time?”

    “Because!” Bette couldn’t think of anything else to say. She just always seemed to get unnerved around Helena. She acted in ways she normally never would. Said things she normally never would.

    “Because what? You gotta do better than that; it’s two in the fucking afternoon here, Bette. Give me something solid to chew on.”

    Bette sighed heavily.

    “Because it’s easier that way. She has just…from the very first time we met…she just…” Bette trailed off unable to finish.

    She thought about Helena briefly.

    Those damn blue eyes. That sexy mouth. Her hair. Her body. It was every goddamn thing about her!

    Bette shuddered

    “Oh God,” she moaned. “Talking to her. Being around Helena is all just so…difficult.”

    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.
