“Have a seat,” Tina insisted, watching Bette as she glanced around, “you don’t have to sit on the couch.”
Bette smiled, warily, and continued to walk around, ignoring Tina’s offer since she felt the need to shake of the anxiety she had over coming there.
“Alright,” Tina muttered quietly, taking a seat herself behind the large, felt covered desk. “What can I do for you Bette?”
Bette looked across at her, then looked away again, her eyes surveying the room. It felt comfortable, for the most part, with lots of green, healthy looking plants and impressive degree certificates adorning the walls. A large ornate fireplace dominated one side of the room and above it the mantelpiece held a handful of discrete, yet distinct photographs, their subject all the same.
Tina watched her stepping closer, unsure how much she knew about Evangeline or indeed their relationship with Helena. Knowing Helena as she did, Tina decided to opt for the assumption that Bette knew practically nothing.
“That’s my partner,” Tina offered, seeing Bette studying the face of the dark haired, Italian beauty.
Bette turned back and nodded, “She’s very attractive,”
“Was …” Tina corrected her, slowly sitting forwards and crossing her hands, “she died about a year ago.”
“Oh I’m sorry,” Bette replied, seeing the pain in the other woman’s eyes as she spoke, a haunting chill running though her as she brought her hand up to touch the outermost corner of the middle picture on the shelf, needing to connect in some way to a woman she would never meet.
“What can I do for you Bette?” Tina asked again, holding her hand out to insist Bette took a seat. “I’m sure you didn’t come here to talk about my personal life.”
“I don’t know why I came here,” Bette replied, sitting in the seat opposite. She stared across at Tina, displaying an uncomfortable stance.
“Let me guess, you don’t like psychiatrists much?” Tina hypothesised.
Bette’s stare broke into a smile, “I suppose not.” She stopped chuckling and turned serious, “but Helena only ever says good things about you so I’m willing to put that aside.”
Tina face turned into a frown and she appeared confused, “Helena said that?”

Oh Gawd, Oh Gawd, Oh Gawd, Oh Gawd…Damn you’re good! I’ve never seen anything like this…each chapter adding more and more mystery…or maybe I’m just stupid. And you know I’m just trying to show my enthusiasm by telling you to type faster…um…maybe hb can kiss your wrists and make them feel better, couch. Heheh…This is just soooo marvelous, brilliant, stellar, breathtaking…My gawd, you had me believing Helena was actually dead…! Couch, thank you for posting everyday…Really appreciate it! Oh, I’m just soooo enamored with this story…Sigh! Big heavy *Sigh*! Can’t wait til tomorrow… :) (Take care of those wrists and fingers :P)
Sofa, I’m reading sober tonight, happy now? Come on you know you’d like to see Tina all decked out leather… oh wait you probably want a comment on the story… Excellent twist, the intrigue thickens… There’s a lot of pie/cake eating in this story, kind of reminding me of Twin Peaks, except so far nobody is eating cherry pie… Okay, you’ve probably had enough Madc Spring Fever stream of consciousness for one comment!
Well, you threw me a little bone! So…Helena is Bipolar and a dug dealer and Tina is not her psychiatrist and Bette’s living in Tina and Evie’s old apartment. So, why is it after all this I have lots more questions??? I’m thinking that there may still be hope for a Bette and Tina match-up here…maybe…possibly…eh?
oooo, fantastic babe. helena really is reminding me of Watt’s character from Mulholland Drive just a little, in a really creative and interesting way…her deep capacity for love and connection, and her equally deep capacity for self destruction. verrrrrry interesting. bette needs to take a chill pill. how many times have i said this about her? lol, i love how you’re captured her in this story–level headed but far too rational for her own good, and yet equally wonderfully good at throwing caution to the wind. i want to see her and helena ride off into the sunset with backpacks and one way tickets to…The Czech republic perhaps. you, my darling, are sooooo my muse…you’ve got me thinking about writing again after a week off, with this ambitious and completely creative and effective storytelling. i feel like i’m in a writing class with a really good bunch of people when i read your work and discuss it with you. ok dear, i’m off to do my own writing while you slumber cutely away. xoxoxoxoxoxox post when you can;)
Hey Sofa, I’ve been silently reading and finally decided to let you know I think this story is great! You’re an amazing writer. I Love how you keep giving us a few answers but creating more questions as the story unfolds. I can’t wait to read more, thanks!
Oh give me a break! Shane of all people should know that a serious spliff overdose will send you to the kitchen for a major pig-out and then to bed for a good snooze. No dying. So DOES Helena have an official shrink? Or do the fuck me heels make it seem Tina is her mental health professional? One doesn’t have to be Jewish or even religious to have a rabbi and that rabbi doesn’t have to be Jewish or have religious training. I mean maybe Helena isn’t outright lying, maybe she just feels like Tina is her shrink. How come nobody sat or lay on the sofa this chapter?
Not at all upset that Tom Cruise, et al have not invaded this story; that sorry little soul-less evil troll.
that was good…okay, not that was outstanding…the plot seriously thickens…what was bette thinking…isn’t there such a thing as patient/doctor privilege…guess not if it’s not your doctor, but she didn’t know that…love makes you do crazy things…awesome..PPS
I love this story, but I hope Helena can be convinced to get treatment of some sort. (p.s. I also hope there’s more than one or two chapters left.) thanks, sofa.
With every chapter I want to scream, “Holy Cow Batman!” That was another great post. Like the others I am loving this and can’t wait 4 more. Geeeez it’s great! Did I mention how amazing this is??? You and Helebette, my favorite dynamic duo!!! Post soon please.
You had me thinking Helena was dead. That is weird that Marina want talk, Helena want talk,and Tina did very little. How can you be with someone 24=7 If they want drugs they get it. Maybe you can still get it straight in this crazy mixed up mind of mine. thanks
Whoa! I really don’t know what to say. I truly did not see that one coming. I must say you have me totally hooked and I truly can’t wait for your next update. As I said before I enjoy a good mystery and you hit the head on the nail with this one. Excellent update!
Sofa I am enraptured by this story.Reminds me of the movie Mullholland Drive for some reason.
Loving your twists and turns, sofa. What a mesmorizing little web you are so masterfully weaving. I only hope you are not intent on sticking to your time frame… hate to see it end.
Very nice. I’m a little anxious about the bipolar thing, because I’m bipolar and it isn’t often treated well in the public eye. Of course, right now I think you’ve handled it very well and I have faith in ya. :) Love all of the twists and turns.
Fantastic as always! Tina shouldn’t have discuss Helena’s privat business with Bette. Even if she isn’t Helena’s psychiatrist, she has no right to give out information about her behind her back. That’s just wrong. Plus I don’t trust her. I hope Bette and Helena are going to talk soon about this all and can work it out and have a real chance on a relationship together. I don’t wanna see this story come to an end so soon… Maybe a sequel? Please? PPS
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!! even though i don’t like Bette/Helena together, i love this story. I’m hoping that Bette/Tina find their way to each other.
oh wow…was helena f…ing Evie as well? Bit mean to sell someone an apartment where a person topped themselves isn’t it? Sounds like Helena has a pattern going on here first Evie now Bette. Poor Marina and Tina. Get Bette out of this unhealthy triangulation b4 she too goes crazy. Suicide is the pits cuz it leaves everyone else to suffer & some people blame each other which apparently is where Marina’s at with Tina. Tina should go back to San Fran taking Bette with her. Excellent chapter. PPS.
re a comment about pot: actually in some cases its laced with p or other shyt and can have a real downer affect once the initial ‘buzz’ wears off; this has lead to suicide in more than one case in my country. I doubt that Helena is a drug dealer but she certainly has a source of supply. Wouldn’t want to see Bette go downhill like Evie & she’s already acting out of character-her friends have a right to be concerned. Drugs & women can seduce and be a lethal combination.
wow…I mean seriously WOW! Twist and turns galore and the plot keeps on thickening.
OkI’ve just caught up with the last 4 chapters and I still want more hehe… I loved all the chapters but i’m worried that something bad is going to happen to Helena =O PPS!!!
Why is that dumb bitch telling Helena’s personal business? She knows Helena will be hurt that Bette found out that she’s bipolar….maybe Tina blames Helena for her ex death as well….sorry excuse my ranting that just shows I’m loving the story pps.
