Job interview after job interview went by and before I knew it, nearly a month had passed since I had spoken to Bette. I was still waiting on my prospects, but I wanted to keep optimistic.
◊◊◊
The thing about running from your past is that it always seems to find a way of sneaking up on you when you least expect it.
I was spending a lazy Wednesday circling prospective job opportunities, when I heard my buzzer sound.
“Chloe?” the voice, which I immediately recognized as Madame’s, called out through the intercom. The name was so familiar, yet completely unfamiliar to me. I hadn’t heard anyone call me that since, well, since the last time I saw Bette.
“What is it?” I said after I hit the answer button.
“I need to speak to you.”
“I’ll come down,” I replied, unwilling to let her up into my newly furnished apartment. I didn’t want my past merging with my new present.
I saw her standing just outside the doors of my building, smoking a cigarette; she threw me a strained smile as I walked towards her.
“What are you doing here?” I asked.
“Well, Chloe,” she said, “You scrawl me some ridiculous text about taking a sabbatical, then don’t take my calls for over a month? I had to come down to see if you were dead.”
I resisted the urge to roll my eyes, “What do you want?”
“I have a job for you…”
“I told you I don’t do that anymore.”
She looked at me with her eyes widened, “I’ve heard that line before, Chloe,” she replied, letting out a snort and taking another puff from her cigarette, “All you girls think you want to clean up, but you always come back to Madame at the end.”
“I’m not going to change my mind,” I retorted, “This is what I want with my life.”
“Oh Chloe,” she replied in a condescending tone, “Tsk tsk, you’re so naïve. Do you really think that you can give up this life without the blink of an eye? There is no other job out there like this one.”
I took in a deep breath, “I believe I can,” I said, hoping that I sounded more confident than I felt.

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…
