“You did not help her “
“We did – we both damn well did. We were there for her “
“Mother “Helena began
“Shut up Helena – I have not even begun with you despite our long conversation that has lasted all afternoon “
“We spent the night at the police station waiting for her – I was so angry with her – I ripped into her like I have never done before. I told her she was fucking up her life. And since then we have both been there for her – helping Helena in any way that we can –that’s what we do because we all love each other – Tina is as much her sister as I am so do not do this to any of us “
Peggy was clearly taken aback by Bette’s temper.
“I have a right to know that my only child has been arrested “
“You are thousands of miles away – do you want us to report every little event “ Bette stood up and glared at Peggy
“It was hardly little “
“Yes – yes it was. At the time I went nuts but I over-reacted and I am sorry about that now. If you had listened to Helena she will have told you that yes it was more than personal use but not by much. She smokes dope – so what. Could you put your hand on your heart and say that you never smoked anything wacky in the 60’s? “
“I was never arrested “
“So – Helena is unlucky – that’s no reason for all of this – this is way over the top Peggy and deep down you know it. Why are you doing this? What good has an afternoon of whipping Helena done? “
“I am old fashioned – I don’t want my daughter to end up as a jail bird “
“I’M NOT A FREAKING JAIL BIRD – for God sake mother – this is not about Bette and Tina who as Bette said have done nothing but be there for me – which is more than I can say for you “
“So I destroyed those picnic tables? “ Peggy said coldly
“No – I did that and I will take my punishment – 50 hours community service and I will pay Shane and Alice’s fines and I will do whatever bloody takes to get you off my back but please stop this Chinese water torture of telling me again and again how I am not Bette and Tina. There are only so many times you can remind me how privileged I am and how I am becoming a spoilt brat. I am an idiot but not a moron – I know all of these things without you telling me not once but twenty times. Don’t you think that community service is going to be humiliating enough ? don’t you think my conversation with the Dean of the College is not going to be bad ? Do you really think I don’t see the hurt in your eyes and in Bette’s. I don’t care about the money or the community service but I hate knowing that I have let all of you down ? “

Bring in on you P sisters. This is gonna be good!
Bette was right to stand up to Peggy Helena is an adult and should be treated like one. Being a Peabody Peggy wants to hold Helena to a higher standard, but she is human and we all make mistakes. Granted some mistakes are a lot worse than others but Hel is owning up to what she did and accepting the punishment and that’s got to count for something.Can the woman have some peace for a while?
There are few things that make you feel as bad as letting someone down who means a lot to you. Peggy needs to realise that, and maybe also realise that she’s letting Helena down by being so unforgiving. Glad Bette stood up for Hels. Will she be able to help Alice too, or let her sink or swim on her own? Very good chap, ally. Thanks
At some point Alice must realize that she is being terribly self-destructive. Peggy rally needs to lighten up with Helena after all she is an adult and is learning her lesson albeit a little late. Peggy should give her a little latitude here and allow her to make amends as the Court suggests and for her to have learned a very hard lesson and change her major to something she truly enjoys and then she will be very successful.

WOW that was awesome and Im with jp22, and let see more, thanks!
To sweet to be true, Peggy was to sweet with Helena and now even Bette and Tina will get a talk! But Peggy needs to understand Helena and Helena deserve a punishment in order to think twice what she will do. Hope you are feeling better! thanks for the post
Too bad Peggy has so little prior experience as a mother. There does come a time when you need to stop or what you are trying to do becomes counterproductive. What’s with Alice? The real problem with trailer trash is that they attract tornados. You don’t seem to get those in Britain so often, so do chavs bring other forms of bad weather there?
I really like how Bette stood up to Peggy about why the drugs thing was never mentioned. Some blood-related siblings would have no problems tattling on each other. It’s also bad enough to feel like you’re being compared to someone you know is better than you at one thing or another, but to constantly be told, and by your own parent! Well it just blows my mind. Alice needs to get off her ass.
bring it on. wow bette was such a dyke!! feels good to do stuff like that. thanks.
Fantastic chapter, Ally !! If I were the one to decide, I could give you an award for this chapter alone, you sooo deserve it ! Great job !
WOW!!! So glad Bette got right back in Peggy’s face. Peggy needs to back off and give Helena room to grow up. People make mistakes and learn from them I just hope Helena does. Thanks Ally
Hello Ally, Another fabulous chapter from you, I loved the build up as Bette and Tina talked things through. They truly love Helena and want whats best for her. Sometimes loving someone is having the courage of letting them make mistakes and grow from them. This is exactly the complex emotional journey that life is. You alway keep it real. Alice really is struggling with college work but too embarrassed to admit it so I hope that Bette can get her to knuckle down and get the job done. She has the ability just not the motivation. I liked that Tina and Dana tried to sort this out but so far it has fallen on deaf ears. Now the punishments doled out on the gals were to be expected. Sad that this case revealled Helena’s first brush with the law to Peggy. I was really happy to see Bette defend her sister to Peggy. I do think that they did the best that they could in untenable conditions. Nothing would have been gained from Peggy’s involvement at that time. Pity is tha Helena is the one really suffering here as she is beating herself up about disappointing them all. Now I can’t wait to see where this leads to. Helena needs to follow her heart and find her path in life. Maybe she will meet someone during her community service. Ally, as always your wonderful words put me through the spectrum of human emotions. From joy to despair, from humor to seriousness and form love to hate. Thank you as ever for continuing this must read story. Your Loyal Fan.
