Alice walked into her apartment and threw herself down on the couch. Her body was shaking from the tears and her heart felt like it was wrenching.

The door opened and Helena stepped in.

“Oh Alice,” Helena said walking over to couch and pulling Alice into a hug.

“I fucked up Helena, so much,” Alice said, “she didn’t choose me.”

“You are such a good person,” Helena said laying back on the couch, pulling Alice down on top of her. Alice snuggled against her chest and sighed.

“That’s not enough is it?”

“I think it is,” Helena said, “maybe you wouldn’t have found complete happiness with Dana. Maybe you were simply supposed to be best friends.”

“I don’t think I will ever find anyone whom I will love more than Dana Fairbanks,” Alice said.

“Never say never,” Helena said, “she may be right under your nose and you don’t even know it.”

“Heh, are you assuming it’s you?” Alice said chuckling.

Helena laughed, “no you dork, I’m just saying. You wanna hear a funny story?”

“Sure,” Alice said shifting to her side beside Helena and snuggling into her chest.

“I went to a psychic once to get advice for my film studio,” Helena said, “and she told me that there would be a brunette in my life that I would get closer too. And she even told me her name was Bette.”

“Really?” Alice said in shock.

“Yeah, she said by having Bette in my life my film studio would succeed,” Helena said, “I quickly figured out that having Bette in my life meant having Tina in my life. And Tina sure as hell ran my studio like a pro!”

“Tina is good at what she does,” Alice said, “that’s really cool.”

“Here’s the funny part,” Helena said chuckling, “I asked her about my love life and she told me that the person would be blonde. We would start off back to back then get face to face. Now I thought about it for days, wondering who this person would be. Then you called me one day after the radio show and asked me for a distraction and I took you to yoga class.

“I remember you were crying the whole time, just talking about Dana, and the instructor said, ‘now get with your partner and sit back to back.’ I just kept thinking, ‘oh my God! Oh my God!’ I almost flipped out when he said, ‘now turn around and sit face to face!’”
