    Love & Pride – chapter 72

     

    It was almost the first time that Tina could remember Helena mentioning her father- she rested her hand on Helena’s other shoulder

     

    “Sorry Helena “

     

    “Its okay – I just miss how he could control her – without him she doesn’t have a stop button.

    Your dad is getting there with controlling her but he doesn’t have the knack that dad had – what time is it?”

     

    “8:30 “

     

    “Better have some coffee and cereal “

     

    “What are Peggy’s plans for tonight – we wondered if we should cook for her here?”

     

    Bette looked at Tina for approval for the plan

     

    “Well I guess it depends on what sort of mood she is in and that depends on what my punishment is “

    “A fine if you are unlucky “Tina repeated

     

    “Its not that which worries me – its Peggy – she hasn’t come all this way just to hold my hand and agree that the world is a big and scary place “

     

    :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

     

    Bette came out of her 10am lecture and hurried to the library coffee bar to met Tina who had been in classes since 9am.

     

    “Any sightings? “ Bette asked as soon as she sat down and greeted her lover with a soft kiss on the lips.

     

    “I passed Lara and she said they weren’t back yet “

    “Is that a good thing or not?”

     

    “Might not have got into court yet – I was talking to a guy on my course and he does know something about it because his dad is a magistrate and he said it could be half the morning”

    “Did you ask him about the sentence?”

     

    “I asked what first time offenders got and he said – suspended sentence or a fine or a

    warning”

     

    “She’s not that worried about what the court says “

    “I know – where you surprised that Peggy was so sweet last night?”

     

    “No “ Bette turned and signalled for two rounds of toast to be put in for them “ She is sweet – but then she can also turn and be horrible. There will be some of the latter on display – but not in front of Shane and Alice and maybe not in front of us but there will be a price to pay “

    1. 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?

    2. 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

    3. 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.

    5. 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

    6. 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?

    7. 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.

    8. 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

    9. 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.
