“You’re a giant fucking rainbow with all your colors.” She jokes. I know she’s only joking for my benefit because her eyes tell me something different.
I chuckle regardless.
She begins wrapping my body in bandages.
“How’s your head feeling?” Shane asked.
“Been better.”
“Do you know when you’ll be healed?”
“In couple months.”
“What about your ribs?”
“I’ve got months for that too.”
“I think,” Shane stood up so we were eye-level, though with my height, we were never eye level, “that if you’re in love with Helena and she’s in love with you, than we should all be happy that you found someone who makes you happy. Even if we like Tina, what difference does it make if you’re not happy with her?”
“Thanks, Shane.”
They hang out for a few hours, but ultimately leave me to my own devices.
Peggy and I have been in constant contact. We decided together that she shouldn’t live where she was living. I volunteered my place. I moved most of her things in on my own, against everyone’s wishes.
I wonder, though, now that Helena wasn’t using, would she want me? Was protection the only reason she kept me around?
But when I look at her note, I forget all of my fears.
Helena:
I lay on my back on the bare mattress. My bags are packed beside me. I look at the ceiling and watch as a spider begins creating a web above me.
And just like the spider, I’m starting to rebuild my life.
And Bette is at the center.
I haven’t spoken to her in months and I don’t know what her relationship with Tina is anymore, but I don’t care. I’m going to win her back, no matter what it takes.
The time spent alone has made it easier for me to see what everyone else saw. I was fucked up. I was the reason interventions take place all over the world. I was scum.
I’m better now. I’m always a drug addict. I know that much. And even though I feel myself wanting them sometimes, I don’t need them and that makes all the difference.

Oh jeez, ash…I didn’t know you were going to end it now. ***Wiping away tear*** :,( Seriously…I loved this story! I know the angst in this story…I know it! Thank you for writing! This story…this story! **Tears falling down both cheeks**
so emotional. Thank you for sharing this .
Ash, I too didnt know that this was the finale to this wonderful chapter. I know that you had to really get into this one because Helena had a major drug problem and she was lucky to have had Bette’s love so that she could make it for herself and her love. Not many survive a drug hell and take the easy way out and not fight. Bette didnt care what her friends had to say about Helena, cause she LOVED her and needed her and knew that she had to have her in her life and would also and did fight for her Helena. What a perfect story and can’t wait for the other stories to come!!
My Beautiful Ash… while I am saddened to see this amazingly rich and emotionally charged story come to an end… it feels right… life goes on… those moments are still there… the memories are as vibrant as “neon” you are an amazing storyteller… you are an amazing woman… you are an amazing friend… Love and Hugs, JC (PS – come on any chance you will pick up the torch and continue “I Take All The Blame” cause I LOVE THAT ONE SOOOOO MUCH… tee hee so demanding)
I loved this story Ash…sad that it ended so soon…but it was awesome…looking forward to the next fics…
one word…brilliant!
Hey Ash a little disappointed to see a great tory end but it’s better to end something in beauty than dragging it along forever. I’m glad to see Bette & elena still found their way to each other and I’m sure they will have a happy life.PS I admire Bette for being able to make love with broken ribs cause I had 5 broken ribs once and I was even scared to breathe LOL
Well how’s that for a happy ending (BRAVO)!!! I’mm sad to see the story end but I defer to the writer of this wonderful story to decide where it should end. Can’t wait to read whatever you write next, great job.

Excellent ending ash, you’re brilliant mate. Loved this story, thank you for sharing it with us all.
