Bitter Endings, Sweet Beginnings: Part Six
“If they have spoken with Bette Porter, yes,” said Helena wryly, moving
to pick between the different blocks of cheese. “I suppose for a good
deal they simply expect me to be what one would call cultured or
refined and after many years of acting in this manner, which isn’t at
all natural to me, I find it to be rather exhausting.”
Helena felt a gentle touch to the small of her back then Alice pressed
against her, wrapping her up in a hug. “I’m sorry,” Alice murmured, her
breath warm on Helena’s skin. “That’s sucky.”
“Yes,” Helena breathed, smiling because she was being held by Alice.
“It is at times. Though being with you has helped tremendously. More
than I’m sure I can ever properly explain.”
“I’m glad,” said Alice softly. She pulled back, her arms reluctantly
slipping from Helena’s waist as she stood next to the grocery cart.
When Helena turned to put the cheese into the cart, she grinned
impishly and drawled, “Helena?”
“Yes?” said Helena, feeling a little wary at the expression Alice wore.
“At an old folks home a man sat watching TV in his room when suddenly
one of his female neighbors barges through his door, pulls up her skirt
and yells, ‘Super *****!’ The man just shrugged his shoulders and said,
‘I want the soup.”
Several moments passed where the only sound was of the overhead
announcements and customers passing by then Helena burst into laughter.
Joyful, unrestrained, expectation less laughter, causing Alice to grin
largely in response.
When the laughter finally died down into chuckles, Helena moved to hold
Alice’s hands in her own and stepped up to the blonde and tenderly
pressed a kiss onto her forehead. “Thank you, darling,” she said in
heartfelt tones, her voice thick with emotion. “Thank you for being
what everyone else is not.”
“Hey,” said Alice with a shrug, grinning widely and peering up at Helena. “It’s what I do.”

Dana found it perversely ironic that once Alice had lost interest in
her and her frightening fixation on their romance and getting it along
with Dana back had ended that Dana herself began exhibiting some of the
same behavior. She wasn’t calling Alice and hanging up nor was she
harassing her in public places but Dana found herself going to places
where she knew Alice would be simply to see her. To witness with her
own eyes that the blonde was doing as well as Jenny said that she was.

Great job on the portrayal of Veronica..I could soo see and hear her…it was kinda eerie..lol, but none the less great. You and sulkygeek have some kind of helacious conspiracy…you write them soo well and it just makes me like them a little more every time. Like how you put Dana into play, checking up on Alice and it’s obvious she still loves her. Ohh…i’m soo torn…the danish or helacious in this story is soo hard to choose
This was my favourite chapter of this story so far – perhaps because we got close to Helacious. But it might also have been that I can’t think of much better than going to an Augusten Burroughs reading at Book Soup with Gabby!
Wow i love this chapter, and the story overall so far, hope you post soon!!!
Dreiser – choppin broccoli!! I’m telling you I sat in history class my junior yr of high school the monday morning after that episode of sat night live singing it with my friends!!! God im old.
Veronica was so dead on, i could actually actually cameron manheims voice.
alice and helena? unbelievable cuteness. “Thank you for being what everyone else is not.” I actaully swooned!!!
great update – loved it. it was so good, i couldnt come up with a philosophical reference good enough!
OMG..’Im Luvin it’ I JUS..I LUV YOU 4 WRITING THIS STRY..the way u write – 2 cute..I like that you wrote Dana out 2 b a stocker as Alice had once been an obsessive stocker of Dana&Lara fiasco..GREAT chapter..Alice&Helena’z relationship seemz 2 be progressing niceli – closer&closer 2gether..’Young Luv’..I always look forward 2 reading your wrk..thnx 4 writing, dun stop..PLEASE mst Post so0N..
*melts* Full credit to your writing abilities!!!! I love the cuteness and dorkiness of Alice and Helena. It’s beautiful
Dana is by no means a stalker in this story. She’s simply still in love with Alice and wants to make sure she’s happy.
I have to say that the danish fan in me it’s hurt when I read the Dana’s part but you made unbelievable loving the helacious part too, so I can’t stop reading your work. Thanks. oh and I love Veronica too :P
I like Helene in this, Alice bring out the true person. she and Helene are very dorlie and very loveablem also. Wish she could show this side to others. thanks for a remarlablr chspter.
Oh dreiser, thank you for this latest chapter. The choppin’ broccoli song in the supermarket had me laughing my ass off. I love how close they continue to get and just hate knowing that it will be at least another two weeks before you pick up where you left off with your evilly planned ‘to be continued’. Your such a tease!
Though i am not a big shane or carmen fan, they were both very cute as you said they would be (i think i can handle things like that in small doses). But the best bit about that whole scene was Gabby fucking Deveaux! I can’t express how much i love Gabby. She’s a complete bitch, she’s got a wicked/sarcastic sense of humor, she’s fiercly intelligent, she uses words to cut people down in just nano-seconds… and she does it all with her ‘whatev’ blase attitude. Call me sick, but there’s just something about all that that makes her so damn hot. And its just so adorable that little ol’jenny gets her all embarrassed with her smiling pixie ways. I do hope that you intend to have more Gabby/Jenny flirting going on.
I like dana more in your story than in sulky’s… which is not to say that i think one of you is a better writer than the other, i enjoy you equally ;). But as i was saying, i do like dana better in this because she isn’t all stalkerish and super clingy… and she acknowleges helena being good for alice, and even sees that she is not what one would automatically assume she is.
Those are my comments for now, love your work.
woot that was really good… Hope you’ll come around and write some more of that…;)
