“May I help you?” Tina asked,
Bette turned and looked, knowing it was her. She brought her hand up to catch a runaway tear that escaped as she was mulling over Helena’s plight, her random array of emotions catching her off guard.
“Um … no … sorry,” Bette got up hurriedly to walk away, but Tina’s hand against her shoulder forced her back down again.
“Sit,” she instructed, “you look upset, perhaps you shouldn’t drive just yet,”
Bette nodded pitifully, “Yes … I am upset,”
“Is there anything I can help with?” Tina asked, recognising the brunette instantly from outside the apartments and from The Planet, “you’re new around here, aren’t you?” she asked.
Bette stared back at her, “Yes …” she felt an urge to backtrack and deny why she was there, fearing Helena’s feelings and the obvious consequences of getting involved in something she wasn’t sure she couldn’t handle. “I was just on my way to meet some friends,” Bette mumbled, “but then I …”
“You felt you had to stop?” Tina offered, noting Bette’s car parked opposite on the street with the driver door still wide open.
Bette nodded.
“A lot of people feel that way when they come here,” Tina stated, “new place, new environment, new people …”
Bette nodded again, not quite sure what she was saying.
“It drives people to do strange things …” Tina added, her chin resting on her hands as she stared at the side of Bette’s profile.
Bette felt her looking and grew uncomfortable, aware of the unwritten rule that people’s relationships with their psychiatrist should stay private. But the doctor herself didn’t seem too perturbed by Bette’s appearance.
“I should go,” Bette muttered, “I’m already late …”
Tina stayed sitting on the steps and watched her walk away, “Goodbye then,” she called, “come back anytime!”
Bette glanced back as she rushed to get into the car, suddenly wanting nothing more than to shake off the dark feeling the blonde woman left her with. Their lives inextricably linked by the same person, the only person Bette found herself wanting to see.

She found Helena sitting on the table in the courtyard beside the pool, her eyes hidden behind her shades again as she dragged hard on a spliff.

Dr. Kennard’s not an enforcer for the Church of Scientology or anything like that, is she? She’s beginning to creep me out. Or maybe she’s just an agent, an extension of Peggy’s long reach. God, this is getting noirier and noirier.
Do we get to meet Evangeline, as a ghost, flashback or at the grave??? After funnyone’s comment, I’m envisioning Tina as an enforcer in black leather, boots and a riding crop in hand. Tell me your fears, *smack*. LOL, Okay, maybe I should have had one less frozen alcoholic beverage today.
Still haven’t gotten my work done but couldn’t resist this story. now why can’t Helena spend the night? Who is Evangelina
Weird, wonderful and wild.
this story reminds me of a song by blue rodeo…it’s not so much film noir, this song, as it is somehow a reflection of a relationship which itself is a reflection of an introspective landscape..the song is called 5 days in May…the part where helena tells bette not to leave her, there’s something very profound about that, though at quick glance it may seem too much too soon, it really isn’t, it fits the story and gives the characters this sort of intensity…hmmm…anyhoo, i like:) the sex scene made such perfect perfect sense and it was so cosmically and physically yummy. more more? more? mwah mwah mwah
This story is great. Was Helena partying with Evangeline and gave her the drugs that she overdosed on? She’s now all screwed up and feels responsible for Evangeline’s death. Tina being Evangeline’s ex was obvious effected and Marina blames Helena for her sister’s death and Tina for not looking out for her.
Ok I caved just now to say that this is one story here I totally buy Bette and Helena.Sofa keep the twists coming.
how the plot thickens…you gotta love google!!
O.K., time for some more guessing. Helena and Evageline are tied through a Hollywood connection. Helena feels responsible in some way for her overdose. Marina blames Helena in some way for her death. Evageline and Tina are tied through their relationship. Now, why if Tina was personally involved is she treating Helena. Oh crap, this is getting to me. I guess I’ll just wait until tomorrow…when at some point I have to start getting some answers to my questions. You have slipped this in under my nose…it is a Belina story!
HOLY SHIT!!!!! Poor Dr Kennard…how come she’s the only one got it together? or has she?
I loved this chapter. There was something really profound between Bette and Helena’s love scene. I can’t wait to find out more about what happened between all of them. More and PPS
very intruiging Sofa, Is that laptop and those three girls going to go crashing through into Bett’s apartment with a ton of questions or are they going to be quite friends in this story? Thank you. Md
I love a good mystery and this certainly fit the bill. Great story! It’s dark, it’s deep and very well written. Oh yeah I almost forgot the sex is good too! Excellent update!!
