Lately: Part 2
Alice told Helena about everything. Two years ago, Dana was diagnosed with breast cancer. It went into remission after months of chemotherapy and she was all in the clear until two months prior to her death. When the cancer came back, it came back with a vengence. Dana got very sick and she was died of heart failure as a result of a virus that she got during her second set of chemotherapy sessions.
Helena felt like shit. The way she treated her friends, how she had alienated them all because of Bette, had come back to bite her on the ass in a major way. Her friend was dead and she didn’t spend those precious moments with her. All because of her cowardice. She called the airport, booking the first flight out. Fuck Bette, she thought, she was going for Alice. She was going to say goodbye to her good friend.
She wasn’t going to see Bette. She wasn’t going to tell her how in love with her she was. How much she loved her since they were kids. How she fell in love with her when they were fifteen years old.
1992
Bette and Helena crashed on the bed. They had went out for a run through Central Park in New York City. They would always run through what ever city they were in together. It was a way to make the monthly movements they made with their families between cities–Los Angeles, London, New York, Paris, Tokyo–less monotonous. The penthouse apartment that Helena’s parents were staying in was beautifully extravagant. This was back when Peggy and Harold Peabody were still married, for their second time.
Bette was heaving, her chest moving in and out. Helena took notice. She watched those breasts, so perfectly pressed against her tank top.
"You’re tired, yeah?" Helena asked.
"I love the way you make a statement a question."
"It’s an English thing."
"I love your accent." Helena’s green eyes met Bette’s dark brown ones.
"You do?"
"Yeah, I do." Their eyes stayed on each other as their bodies got closer. Helena’s eyes were dancing, back and forth, showing a naive desire. Bette’s eyes did the same.
"I’m thinking things, that I probably shouldn’t be thinking Bette."
"About me?"

This story was intense, full of emotion, it had a certain heaviness about it. It made me wonder how Helena and Alice became such good friends on the show. I am curious to see how you’re going to reverse the story and make Helena and Bette get together. They would have been a hot young couple. PPS!
I like the way you provide a glimpse of the nurturing Bette of S3 in this chapter. I wonder how long it will take before poor Tina buys a clue. I feel sorry for her too, but the deep connection between Bette and Helena can’t be swept under the rug forever.
Ash I sure loved this chpater, cause you could feel the pain of Dane’s death and both Bette and Helena were there for al and for thier late freind Dana. I do feel kinda bad for tina. Cause Bette loves her but she is NOT IN LOVE with her. There is a difference IMO. I can see that Alice is going to get them together cause she knows the truth between them both and know i wonder how Tna is going to be left out of the picture, will she be woman enough to see that she is not LOVED? Anyway, loved is ash and will have lots of readingwhen I get back after my weeklong vacation!!
jolly good show–i like the twists and turns of this story, especially where the young helena and bette are concerned (though, i feel a little ‘wrong’ for it…heh) pps!
ps. i agree with rufus…helena and bette, yeeeeeeah!
Hey Ashtuck, I like the new story. Feel a little bit sorry for Tina, but I’m sure you’ll fix that with more of the background info.
I feel really bad for Tina :( It’s probably because I’ve become rather taken with her recently. But I like the rest of the story :) Thanks for the update, I miss Dana :(
how could you end it there…that was so wrong…i really am enjoying this fic…pps!!
poor tina…
Aww…I’m still sad with the whole Dana thing. I really hope that things will work with Helena and Bette, even though Helena is there for Dana and not Bette *YEAH RIGHT! LOL* PPS!
