Helena sighed deeply and nodded numbly, “It was.” Helena then turned to Raquel. “I’m just going to step out for a minute. I need some time alone to gather my thoughts.”
Raquel nodded as Helena stepped out to the veranda. She had been having such a wonderful time getting to know Raquel and her family. She was trying to let go of her past with Dylan but Dylan get resurfacing. Was she trying to avoid Dylan as Raquel suggested? She looked out over the ocean and thought, Dylan why can’t I just get you out of my head? Why are you reappearing in my life now? What am I to do with all of this?
As the guys were trying to decide what to play next, the video continued to play on. In the background what they thought were directors discussion about the film turned out to clearly be a spoken message to Helena. Dylan stood nervously before the camera, cleared her throat and began to speak, “Hi Helena” She cleared her throat again and took a deep breath and laughed nervously. “You would think I might be better at this by now.” She rubbed her hands together and then on her pants. She cleared her throat again, “Helena, if you are seeing this, at least you’ve watched the movie. I hope you caught the thank you I put in the credits. I wanted you to know how I feel and if the rest of the world knows too, so be it. You might not see it, so I thought if you got this far I can send you back to it. Nobody reads the credits right? Helena, there is so much I want to tell you. So much I want to share with you. I hope you’ll let me one day. I just don’t think another videotaped apology will do…”
The video continued to play as everyone in the room turned to see Helena’s reaction to the monologue. Raquel realized this message was only for Helena she shouted at Nando, “Desligue-o. Remova-o. Dê-meo (Turn it off. Take it out. Give it to me.)”
Once she received it, she debated briefly if she should show it to Helena or not. She came out on the veranda and found Helena on the swing with her legs pulled up and with her arms wrapped around them, curled in a ball. Helena looked up at a saddened Raquel. Raquel took the disc from her pocket and handed it to Helena. “That wasn’t the only message to you. You have to play the extra stuff. You know, the stuff that comes after the movie.” Raquel bit her lip as she held the video out to Helena and continued, “I have to give her credit. She put that thank you in when she hadn’t even spoken to you. She really went out on the limb. That is love Eliana. I don’t think I can beat that.”

OMG. Squirly-Whirly. That was. Sniff. Beautifully written. Especially Dylan’s monologue at the end. Oh my. My heart literally melted. Wow. Raquel. I have to give her some credit. Sigh. Man. This is really a case of being torn between two lovers. I don’t doubt that Helena feels some kind of love for Raquel, but I guess there is just something about Dylan. Some people just come into our lives and mess us up in ways we can’t explain, and then, we just can’t bring ourselves to let them go completely. Aaarrrhhh. Brava, brava! ((:
Oy! Dylan puts her love on a DVD, Raquel puts her love in a language Helena can’t understand, Helena puts her love for Dylan in a box and tells Raquel of her love when Raquel can’t really have it. Wasn’t there a song about how love stinks?
Oh my ….what is helena going to do? pps
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawwwww shyt, i am so over dylan and into raquel.
Damn…two chapters in a row where I actually feel for Racquel. Now I know I’m screwed. So beautifully written Squirl. Dylan’s words are powerfully poignant…I hope they are able to thaw Helena’s heart.
Happy birthday East. That chapter was for you. ;-)
Wow that was powerful. Dylan’s monologue was to good to be true, I just wish she had the courage to show Helena in person how she really feels and I wished she stopped hurting her by keeping things from her. In a way I want Helena to be with Raquel cause she really truly needs someone who loves her deeply but I guess as long as Hel’s heart isn’t free Raquel won’t stand a chance. I hope Hel’s will be able to sort things out soon cause I know this must be driving her crazy. PPS please
More importantly i meant to write…
Dylan wow my my she found her way with words but what will Hel’s do with its more appointment.
Wow so Dylan actually “told” Helena about Chelsea…hmmm. This is definitely hard….but I knew Raquel was classy! Well said funnyone! Thanks Squirl! PPS
Damm Dr. Squirl, my Saturday mornings will never be the same. I had to step away at the to of this page and reflect a bit. Unpopular as this might be this is what I came up with. Running is not such a horrible thing. Nope, see if Dyaln kept running she wouldn’t be in a cyclone of feelings now and for the most part would have just keep bouncing around for the rest of her life. Not such a bad thing. Runnings not horrible, if Helena never talked to Dylan she could keep running from her feelings and ran w/Raqus for a while anyway, see not so bad, and if Raqus wants to run over here, sorry off topic, if Raquel keep running from her feelings she will end up giving herself to her family, she will have some fun from time to time so see running is not so horrible. As for Funny, ya J. Geils Band has that very popular hit but this chapter made me think of Rod Stewarts, First cut is the deepest, as I believe Helena & Dylan found a soulmate kind of love thet your lucky to find once in life but there is another song that say “sometimes love just ain’t enough” that could also reflect these hearts.Ok Squril did you guess you hit a nerve with this one, good job. I owe you a pm and will try to get to that tonigh, life got very hetic at the end of the week. Thank you, Md
