Summer Vacation. Chapter 9
Previously:
Bette knew returning to LA would be hard on Helena. “Are you okay about going home?” she asked, aware that many subjects lately provoked outbursts of crying from Helena,
“I think so,” Helena replied after a short while, “it’s time we went … it’s time we got used to our life there again,” she added, “I’ve done enough hiding here in New York.”
Bette nodded, “You know you’re not on your own … right? you still have family there,” she said, gently indicating her own family’s unwavering support.
Whatever had gone on between them was in the past, they were stronger than that now, and more alike than people often realised.
Helena smiled, “It will be good to get home, for both of us.”
Chapter Nine.
Lottie pulled alongside Jo’s apartment building and parked the car. She sat for a few moments, allowing the cool air inside the car to calm her nerves. Tina had been so very right, having a car in LA was necessary if only for the fact it came with air con, it was already after nine and yet the heat outside was still sweltering.
She took a deep breath, resisting the urge to ask herself ‘what are you doing?’ over and over. It didn’t just apply to tonight either, but to the whole of the last year and especially the last two weeks.
She shook her head, attempting to dislodge that nagging voice in her head which criticised. Sometimes the voice sounded like her father, when he’d say she was asking for trouble, telling her that she always went looking for difficulties even as a kid. Sometimes it was just her own voice, wondering why she always needed to have all the answers, why nothing could be achieved until this was all laid to rest.
Other times it felt like it might be the voice of her mother, a voice she struggled to remember. A soft and gentle soothing voice, telling her it would be okay. That if what she was doing felt right then everything would work out in the end, just to follow her heart.
She jumped at the knock on the window. Jo smiled at her, a little confused. She wound down the window.
