    First Year- Chapter 25

    “Not now but I was overweight then. I was still in my braces and my skin was not exactly perfect. I was not exactly the most beautiful debutant but I was so excited for my coming out, maybe I should have waited another year or two. My father had made such a big deal about me coming out to the social society of LA. I remembered my mother talking about her cotillion and all the fun she had getting ready for it. I couldn’t wait to participate in mine. I had just turned 16, so in some ways it was my sweet 16 party. My mother died when I was 9 so I was really looking forward to this to connect to her memory.”

    I looked at her and tried hard to remember. “Bette, I am so very sorry. I was not a happy debutante. I do remember that. I guess in my unhappiness I might have said something flippant and insensitive.”

    “I felt awful. I remembered just about everything leading up to that day. I suppose I was irrationally exuberant about the event. Your little flippant remark, which the other debutants thought was quite funny, deflated my sails. My entire evening was shot. I couldn’t wait to leave. I couldn’t remember my dance steps. I felt so sick to my stomach for the rest of the evening. I barely ate my dinner and was quiet for the remainder of the night. The rest of the girls laughed, giggled and had a great time. Even though they probably weren’t, I was convinced they were laughing at me. I just wanted to crawl under the table and die. I was supposed to feel elegant and beautiful but instead, I felt very ugly that night.”

    I could see the pain still lingered 10 years later. I said softly, “I’m sorry Bette. I don’t know what to say. I was a very rude and obnoxious teenager. I am mortified that I said something so cruel and insensitive to you. I probably insulted everyone at that table in some way that evening. I am so very sorry. I hope you will accept my most heartfelt apology. Please, if there is anything I can do to make it up to you, please tell me. I want to make it up to you. I wish I could remember. Well, maybe I don’t want to remember. ”

    1. azmama, what was the cold part? Sounded pretty hot and sweaty! Yeesh, I’m sure we all have things to regret saying from our adolescent years, but to be reminded of something particularly nasty by your victim whom you’re now attracted to? Awkward! Weeeeel, since Bette made a real revelation, I’d say it’s Helena’s turn.

    2. wow…now ain’t that a kick in the head…LOL…hmmm wonder what else B is thinking…that H is/was something else!!! Well done…I feel H’s pain after my steep walk on the treadmill tonight!!! Well done – yet again !!!

    3. Very well done, Squirl. This chapter certainly gives us a new perspective on the roots of Bette’s tendency to withdraw and isolate. It also makes me wonder if she is still struggling a bit with hidden self-esteem issues. I didn’t take her showing her body to Helena as revenge though. I thought she was seeking confirmation and validation for the changes she had made in her appearance — I thought she wanted what she didn’t have before – Helena’s acceptance. This opens up a whole new avenue in the story. I hope these runs become a more regular event.

    4. Squirl this might sound kind of goofy as my thought process is not processing properly today but lets try, sounds like Bette has/had a complex type of thing that allowed her to worry about what others thought. While sometimes that’s important I believe our young women and men should be taught that nagitive statements should be tossed away. So glad Bette was able to relieve herself of that demond and will now be able to not have it haunting her. I will be awaiting chapter 26. Thank you, Md aka Oma

    5. Nice…and unexpected! I like this unknown (to Helena) layer in their relationship. It gives them a ready made emotional foundation….I can see…this will be fun! It is interesting that with the pain that Bette was so easily able to re-visit from a time past…that she actually provided an open ear to Helena when she needed it. Now we have an idea of why Bette works so hard to be perfect… and why she wanted to punish Helena… “She looked at me with a grin as if she knew she was about cause me grave bodily harm” lol!

    6. How do i love this story…let me count the ways! 1) Bette shirtless :-)2) Helena throbbing over seeing Bette shirtless3) This whole section -That was all she gave me. I didn’t ask for more. She was definitely not willing or ready to share anything more. We stayed up there for a few more minutes and enjoyed the views and silently each other’s company. The more time I spent with Bette, the more she fascinated me and the more I wanted to spend time with her. There was definitely an air of mystery about her. She intrigued me. I wanted to know more about her and what ran through her head. There was much more to Dr Porter than she presented. PPS!

    7. Great update! Now we can understand why Bette may have kept her distant from the others. I know revenge can be sweet at times, but I would think it would lose some of it’s appeal if you have to remind someone of what they did. I don’t think the joy would be there. Knowing the person who caused that pain, wasn’t even worth a memory to them. But we all were young once. And we all have said or did some really stupid things growing up. But you live and you learn, well some of us do.

    8. Is this a BeLena? Please, please, please! I am a TiBette fan but when the writing is good and all, I can be a BeLena too! Can this be a BeLena? Please? :)

    9. S once again a great chapter, loved how Bette finally told Helena how they met and the horrible time how she spent it,in some ways just like Helena. It was not the best time of thier lives. I think that Rick noticed Bette and she saw it as love and it could be but not her real love IMO,not saying it’s Helena or Tina or ? but IMO time will tell. I so enjoy reading your story S!

    10. Well at least Bette did something about her weight…and never seemingly hated Helena for it. Instead did something about it. And it has now paid off for her. Helena can not remember but at least she did not dismiss her actions towards Bette and apologized to her. Nice update…Helenas looking for condo’s how come? PPVS
