I spent the next few days in my apartment. I sent Madame a short text telling her that I was on sabbatical and not to contact me before switching off my work phone. I guess that was the one thing about my job that I loved, it was as if I was freelancing. I worked when I wanted to and didn’t work when I wanted to.
I ordered in a lot of greasy Chinese, watched a lot of bad television, finished the four tubs of Ben & Jerry’s I had stocked away in my freezer and tried calling Bette nearly a hundred times.
But she never picked up, not that that surprised me.
I needed to talk to her, I needed to talk to someone. I was devastated that I had lost my best friend. My only friend.
After three days of feeling desolate and sorry for myself, I made a conscious decision.
I decided that in order to better my life, I had to rid myself of the old one; which meant major spring-cleaning. I figured that such an impossible task would at least help take my mind off Bette.
I walked over to survey my closet and realized that I would have to take out nearly half of my entire wardrobe.
But no, no matter what, I was determined to do this for myself; I deserved a new start.
It was time to clean up my act.
◊◊◊
Clothes, lingerie, toys and books; it took at nearly a week to pack everything neatly into boxes for disposal and donation but I was finally done. I had to say that my entire apartment looked fresher. To reward myself, I had even gone to get myself a new bedroom set and small pieces of furniture to decorate the rest of my apartment.
Although most of it had changed, I finally found what it felt like to have a place called home.

The second stage of clean up Helena’s life was to find a job, a good decent job.
After mulling over my options, I decided that I might like to be a Copywriter, Teacher, Editor, Journalist or Librarian. I know what you’re thinking, but I love being surrounded by books! I find my grasp of the English language to be more profound than the typical American, so why not. Although, a career in Advertising also seemed quite intriguing. I think I’m quite creative.

Since this story is mainly about Helena, I’m thinking the Tina and Bette thing is just for the sake of drama. (crossing fingers.)So, I am looking forward to them breaking up (ducking from the die-hard Tibetters)and Helena and Bette working this mess out. So, Bette, my dear, how long will it take you to realize that Helena is the person with whom you’re supposed to be?Helena, don’t give up on your one true love. It will be ok, sweetie. Bette will come around to the right side of sane. =)
Helena cleaned up her life because of Bette…..now that she has lost her I hope she doesn’t go back to her old life?
I’m not giving up on Bette finding her way to Helena…..This was your best chapter ever. Yes, you did throw in a couple of curve balls. Very, very good….Helena really needs a hug right now.
Wow – what a twist! I knew it had to be Tina…I hope Bette and Helena still get a chance to explore their feelings. I can’t wait for the next chapter – the story keeps getting better and better…
