Lately: Part 2
Alice and Dana were close like Bette and Helena were. Dana and Alice always had each other, through thick and thin. Alice couldn’t save her, so she knew Alice was going to take this harder than everybody else.
"It’s going to be okay, baby. I promise." Bette whispered to Alice as she held her tightly. Tina rubbed Alice’s back as they stood there, "Are her parent’s here?"
"Yeah." Alice sniffled, "They’re at the morgue."
"Is Shane here?"
"She’s on her way."
Shane didn’t grow up with the rest of the girls. Alice and Bette met her in an LA club, after she tried to hit on both Bette and Alice. They instantly fell for her, in the friendship variety.
"Did you call…uh…"
"Yeah. She’s taking a flight here."
They didnt’t have to say her name for Tina to know who they were talking about. Growing up around Helena and Bette meant having to see the dynamics in action. It meant knowing when one of their names was mentioned without actually being said. It meant feeling the thick tension.
Bette didn’t like to say Helena’s name so much anymore. Not only did it ignite those old feelings in Bette (some good and some bad), it also caused Tina to get jealous. Tina would just have to deal with it for now. Helena was just as much a part of Dana’s life as the rest of them were.
Bette wrapped her arms around Alice again, "It’s going to be okay. Do you need me to stay the night with you tonight?" Alice just nodded, "You got it." Bette then turned to Tina, "I’m going to stay with Alice tonight, T. Do you think you can hold the fort down without me?" Bette gave a sweet smile to Tina. A smile she knew she couldn’t resist. Most women couldn’t.
She could’ve brought Alice home with her and have her sleep in the guest room, but she wanted time without Tina tonight. To clear her head and to focus on the task at hand: living without Dana.
"Yeah, it’s fine. You have to be there for Alice. I’m going to go home. Call me in the morning?" Bette nodded and smiled. She kissed Tina deeply on the lips, "I love you, Bette."

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!
