“Helena doesn’t often talk about her father “Tina said softly
Bette reached out and took Tina’s hand
“I know. It was hard for her when her mom and my dad got together – she didn’t like sharing her mom “
“And you liked sharing Melvin? “
Bette nodded “No – hated it – hated Helena for always being a drama queen and flouncing off
all the time when she didn’t get her own way “
“And you never felt like that ?”
“Hell yes I did but dad would have freaked – can you see dad dealing with me having a strop – that so was never going to happen. I am not a strop type person “
“You can be when someone beats you in an 800 metres race “Tina teased putting her tongue out. Bette laughed
“Yes so I have learnt about them from my sister. You have to remember that we moved in with them – that was hard for her too “
“It was hard for both of you – two precocious 15 year olds – gee I cannot imagine what it must have been like “
“Horrible – we lived for three months as separate households – we only came together for dinner and that became a battle ground “
“But not you? “
“No – that was when I got into running – it taught me real concentration – real shutting everything and everyone out – it was a good lesson. I would have preferred to learn it another way though. I’ll get the toast – you want coffee or juice?”
“Can I have both?”
“Sure “Bette kissed Tina again “It’s the least I can do for my favourite girl “
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::;
Instead of working in the library Bette and Tina went to the JCR where Dana and Lara were waiting – Alice and Shane had said that they would come straight there. Bette settled down with a book but Tina set up the pool balls for a game with Dana
“How was Alice? “She asked
“Hiding how nervous she is “
“I didn’t think Alice did nervous “
“Alice doesn’t want this to get back to her mom or her mom’s wealthy bloke who is bank – rolling her degree. Plus – well she is ashamed of her conduct “

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.
