It should never be so hard to love, Helena thought. It should never be excruciating to see the person you love so much, you’d die if she ever left you alone. It was becoming increasingly difficult for Helena to not reach out to her stepsister, hold her, and caress her. Her mother and Melvin approached in the knick of time—just before the youngsters would witness their sisters in full on make out session.
“Bette! It’s been so long!” Peggy wrapped Bette in her arms and gave her a big bear hug, “How was Spain?”
“Lovely—the women in particular.”
It was common knowledge that Bette was gay. Bette announced it to the family at dinner one night. Peggy, very accepting of alternative lifestyles, was the first to congratulate Bette on being a lesbian. For Peggy, being a lesbian was the epitome of womanhood. Melvin, on the other hand, was disappointed in his daughter. He had one daughter who was an alcoholic musician (an unacceptable profession, in Melvin’s mind) and now one who was a lesbian. It was completely unacceptable.
Even though, Melvin always welcomed his daughter with open arms in the hopes that she would someday change her mind because, out of his two oldest, biological, Bette was the only one with a good head on her shoulders.
But today was different, as Melvin did not greet his daughter with a hug, only a handshake. This struck Helena as strange.
“Good to see you healthy.” He said, retracting his hand.
“Yeah.” Bette looked away.
“Bette, darling, let me show you some of my new pieces. I went to France last month and picked up some of the most beautiful prints you’ve ever seen. Come.”
Bette looked back at Helena once before following Peggy into the small personal gallery in the back of the house.
Helena turned to Melvin, “I’ll be in my room if anybody needs me.”
“Dinner will be served in about 30 minutes.”
“Okay. I’ll be down.”
Helena retreated to her room. She felt like something was about to happen. The shit was going to hit the fan, or whatever.
She kicked her shoes off and took a seat on the bed. Reaching under her bed, she pulled a full bottle of brandy The first step in her Bette-detox was to be able to sleep in her bed and not think of her or what they had done in this bed together. She turned her head to the right, to the bathroom door that connected her room to Bette’s. She skipped that step.

Hello ashtuck, you are absolutely brilliant, each and every time I open one of your stories I am inspired by how flawlessly you seem to develop these amazing journeys. Your grasp of these characters in the multitude of scenarios you place them in are often intense, tender, real, passionate and relatable. This story has so much potential and I think that you are going to be amazing at seeing that come to light, I am a huge fan of the pairing of Bette and Helena and love that you have so effortlessly created new and interesting ways for these characters to intercede and find one another and as Taboo as this pairing in this story might seem I hope that the intensity and passion they share for one another is nurtured. You Rock, Sincerely, JC (PS – I just went to see August Rush and it renewed my intense desire to believe in love, falling in love, and everything else that love encompasses)
I grew up with step sisters and love them dearly. I can’t imagine ever having an intimate affair with them. Bring Tina and Dylan to rescue these girls..
I think that is the worst thing that Bette could do with leaving espcially to Helena. Can’t wait to see what happens next!! Great chapter ash
Whew! I’m loving it. The emotions are raw. I think Bette should move out. They need a pad of their own. They can’t be bonking in the family home. Looking forward to seeing where you take this. So so so so many possibilities.
I just hope that Helena and Bette resolve their issues because I want Helena to stop self-medicating with alcohol.
Wowww… you’ve been away for some time, but it was worth the wait… 2 stories you just finished, then 2 new ones you begin, each one with a very challenging beginning ;-) — well, this situation would sure be incest -at least it is, legally, in my country, since their parents married together- but when two people are soooo attracted to each other, taking a distance has no effect on it, except, perhaps, enhancing the desire… so, come on, here I wait for the next post… let the fun begin ;-)
As much as I want to see what happens, I’d love to get the backstory on how these two discovered each other and their first time together!
amazingly poignant and brilliantly sad. I love them.
Hello, Its me again, well I just re-read this and I thought how interesting would it be to have Helena leave, maybe go away to school or on a long trip and see how this will effect Bette. Hehe… sorry just a thought I anticipate how you will run with this story… don’t listen to me my mind wanders… You Rock, Sincerely, JC
Bette is trying to do the right thing by distanceing herself from Helena.
I know Bette is trying to do the right thing here but you can’t fight your feelings. Once their there well their there lol. Maybe dakhawdown is right, maybe Helena should go away like Bette did and see how this affect both of them. Good job Ash as always.
yikes! bette and helena should def move away…and when peggy leaves melvin for a younger (wo)man, it’ll all work out because then there won’t be any strange incest stuff going on. bette and helena will sow their wild oats through their 20s, and then hook it up in their late 30s after going through a minor spat over a certain Tina Kennard. hehehehe, don’t mind me, it’s just that i saw such a great prequel in your story. anyway, i think this is a good one. i like it. bette and those spanish women..tsk tsk..then again, i thought she had a blonde fetish like a certain girlfriend of mine has….lol. ok, i shall stop rambling now. ashtuck, keep up the mass writing, and no more sighing in comments to me about your abilities. i’ll stop being self-desparaging on my end, and it will not encourage the same from others. deal? *hugs* pps!!!!!!
ashtuck…your capacity is astounding…enjoying this post…you are prolific and awesome – all at the same time!!!
