My apartment is on the first floor, third door on the right. I unlock it, but let her go in first.
Bette:
Her apartment is cleaner than I imagined it would be. It has been weeks since my last visit and it was a mess and she was unconscious on the bathroom floor.
I never wanted to see her like that again. It was the single most frightening moment of my life.
“Thanks for coming for me, Bette.” Her eyes zero in on me, turning my insides to mush. She starts coming towards me.
My arms wrap around her waist. I need to hold her. I need to feel her body, hear her beating heart. It’s the only way I know that she’s still alive.
I worry about her every night. I worry if she still alive, if she’s been hurt. Some days, I can’t help but think of her.
I’d say that her body felt thin, but Helena’s always been a thin girl. I worry that maybe she felt too thin.
“Are you okay?”
“Yeah, I’m fine.”
“No, are you really okay?”
She gives me that look, the one that I can’t seem to forget. There’s the smirk and the sparkle in her eyes. Like she takes some pride in knowing that I care about her much too much for my own good.
She wrapped her arms around my neck, bringing her face dangerously close to my face.
“You should stop worrying so much. It makes that vein in your forehead bulge. And the one in your neck, it’s starting to pulsate. You know I love it when that happens.” She groaned softly, making my body get weak.
Its times like this, when her lips are less than an inch away from mine, that I forget that Tina exists. I forget that I have a home to go to and the rest of the world melts away around us.
When our lips touched, I can taste smoke and alcohol left on her breath. I suck it all in, feeling as if I had been with her all day. Her kiss is soft, meaningful. I take my arms from around her waist and backed away from her.

Helena is really living on the edge. What got her here? Does she live off her mother? I have to admit. I’m not liking her very much. Strange as this seems. Right now I’m rooting for the BB.
Hello My Beautiful Ash… you have always had such a gift at merging the ugliness of reality within the beauties… you take the darker seedier sides of life and you can show us that there are still glimmers of hope and love there… that is your gift, to show hope and beauty where desolation and decay exist… you my friend completely amaze me taking me from my very highs to my very lows and never wavering and never looking back… always and forever my love and hugs, JC (Latin Nephew to those Salsa Angels) PS – any chance at getting some “I Take All The Blame” PLEASE… I miss it so much Huggles…
I like understanding the story from the other’s perspective and like Squirl wood like to know how H got there…you know I’m a Belena chic but H is something else in this story, net-net MORE PLEASE…is that addict like behavior…smile!!! PPS
That was pretty disturbing. Helena’s quite the hedonist, dropping an orange one on the way to Mummie’s luncheon. At least she packed a blue one in case the orange isn’t pleasant. Hmmmm…I was never one much for pills, more of a natural woman, if you know what I mean. I therefore was never to be found passed out on the floor, I’m glad to say. Just as her money won’t buy her real happiness, I doubt if Helena’s pills will either. Hope she finds what she needs to accomplish that.
Ash once again you have me amazed at how well written this chapter was, how you have me intrigued with both women and how they still love one another and yet not together. I like how you have one of the doing drugs cause it’s nice to see the mind of a woman using this and why. And why Bette is actually with Tina and not cause of True Love, but cuase she needs teh stability Tina gives her. Great chapter Ash!!
Dangit! That’s the second time that’s happened to me today! Tried to leave a comment and it got sucked into some black cyberspace hole! Anyway…let me try again: Um, no, ash, I didn’t know you admired my writing (*blush*)…but I must tell you the feeling is mutual. You have such a beautiful construct here! And I love your words, like: “The next morning, the sun is blaring through my window. My hand is in the same position that it was when Bette left. My fingers are cradled, as if there was something that needed to be held there.”…And just, wow, everything! I’m really afraid of that orange pill though…really really afeared…but I also can’t wait to see what happens and the effect it’s going to induce. Please…hope you can update soon…I had to wait too long for this one! :) But thanks so much for your beautiful words! Hope you don’t mind a (((hug)))
I’m not to sure about this Helena. She scares me.I guess she is Bette’s drug of choice.Just maybe Peggy needs to find out what her daugther is up to. Because this girl need some serious help. Please post more when you are able. It’s a great story and you write it well!
Helena needs to get her act together. All this for the attention of some woman….geeez, talk about some serious self-esteem problems….maybe Helena didn’t get enough attention as a child. I can’t wait to see what affect that pill has on Helena at Peggy’s gallery. I know one thing if she ruin’s the luncheon she will probably wish she was dead instead of answering to Peggy.
This Helena is fun and exciting…and one BIG mystery. Now I don’t know who I’m supposed to be pulling for her, Bette & Helena, Bette & Tina or just for Helena to get her life together. I love the pull and hold that Helena seems to ahve over Bette. We all know that one person who owns our heart in good times and bad that we would bend over backwards for…..and even risk an existing relationship for. PPS! I’m hooked; I guess this story is my addiction (LOL).
Ash, you’ve got me. I love how you depict this story with such emotion and truth. I loved how Bette waited for Helena to fall asleep before leaving. I love the style you have decided to use with this story. It’s so amazing. You’ve got such amazing talent, babe! (: Can’t wait for your next post. Can’t wait. (:
Aw thank you for your sweet words Ash, you really touched me.As for your story I like it very much; like all the rest you have writen but I guess you already knew that right :)Seems like Helena has some serious issues and I truly hope she can work them out or that Bette will be able to put her into rehab or something. Just like Z I’m really scared what effect this orange pill is going to on her. Can’t wait to find out, PPS
