“How come you didn’t?”

“For one thing I was hurt,” Helena frowned, “and because dearest mommy cut me off financial so I had no money.”

            “Lets watches the tape Dylan sent you!” Alice said excitedly. Helena eyed the tape as if she was ready to grab it straight from her friend’s very hands.

“I have all ready seen what I wanted to see,” Helena said.

“But I haven’t,” She said, grinning.  

Alice slips in the tape into her VCR and they start watching it, sitting together on the floor amongst all of Helena’s things and boxes. Time passed by as they watched Dylan speak, but then Dylan started something that sparked Alice’s interest.

            “I really don’t know,” Dylan said through the tape, “how to face the fact that I love…”

            “Suddenly, Helena grabs the remote right from Alice’s hands, flicking off the tape. Then, she grabbed the tape straight from the VCR and started to tear it up while Alice looked on in shock.

“What are you doing?” Alice gasped, “She was just about to say she loves you!”

            “No she wasn’t! In the board room she told me she never wanted to see me again,” Helena responded while rolling her eyes.

“I am telling you she said she loves you. But, you ruined the tape so now you can’t hear it.”

            Helena looks down at the shards of the tape that still remained in her hand and at the chunks that littered to the floor. Her eyes widened, knowing that what Alice said was really possible.

“Helena, you know what you should do is to put the story forward. Didn’t you once tell her that you believed in what she was doing, and that’s why you wanted to invest in it and help her out?”

“Aren’t you forgetting something?” Helena said, while tossing the rest of the ruined tape to the floor.

“What I am forgetting?”

“I have no money and remember how was going to invest in our chart and I lost that at the horse races.”

            Alice sighed, almost defeated. She continued to uncover Helena’s things and she uncovered a trinket wrapped in the Sunday newspaper. Studying the piece of newspaper closely, she picks it up and sees this small advertisement on a big poker game for that very night where you could win prizes and card hold cash. The grand prize?-Two hundred thousand dollars; the exact amount that Helena needed to show up Catherine.
