"Wow, I’m so sorry you had to go through that Helena," Tina said.

"I had no idea Helena," Alice said, "Peggy seems like the type of woman to never let a man touch her."

"That’s because once she got her degree, she took me to London with her and started opening businesses," Helena said, "she took a lot of risks and we lived on the streets for the first few months, but look at us now. The Peabody last name went from poor family on the countryside to charitable, world renown organization. My mother is a hero."

"I see where you get it from," Alice said caressing Helena’s face.

"I love Peggy, she became like a second mother to me," Bette said, "or rather the mother I never had."

"I think she sees you the same way," Tina said, "when we first started dating she gave me the same interview she gave Alice."

"My mother interviewed you guys?" Helena cried. "Oh good Lord, I’m so sorry."

"No it’s okay, it was no sweat," Alice said confidently.

"Plus it shows she cares," Tina said.

"Hey we’re at the top," Bette said.

Everyone quieted down and looked around. The view was absolutely breathtaking. The fields were expansive and bright green with big trees.

Tina smiled and snuggled close to Bette. Alice said, "wow Helena, how did you ever leave this place?"

"It was easy to do when I went home everynight to find my mother beat up and walk around scared that I would be next," Helena said.

"And were you?" Tina asked, "were you ever next?"

"Sometimes I was," Helena said, "you know that scar on my calf?"

"Your dad did that to you?" Alice said her eyes filling in tears.

"Yes," Helena said, "he hit me with his belt."

Alice caressed her face, "I’m so sorry."

"It’s in the past darling," Helena said.

"What ever happened to your dad Helena?" Tina said.

"He died six years ago," Helena said.

"Yeah and she wouldn’t have gone to the funeral if I didn’t go with her," Bette said looking up at the sky that was darkening.

"It’s going to rain, we should go back," Helena said.

"Aww, that’s too bad, I like it here," Tina said with a sigh.
