Chapter 30: Part 2 of 3 ~ “A Season”
People come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you figure out which it is, you know exactly what to do. ~Michelle Ventor
~~~~~~~~~~
“Would you like something to eat or drink?” Bette queried while closing the front door behind them.
“Umno Bette. I’m fine.”
Standing in the middle of her living room, Helena Peabody looked like a stranger in a foreign land. She swallowed hard as her tired eyes darted around the room, from furniture to paintings, to art, to Bette, connecting time and seasons laughter and conversation memories and.
“
She was lost in her own world of conversation memories and.dreams. Shattered.
“UmI’m feeling a bit tired actually. It’s been a terribly long day.”
“Well, you get to sleep in your own bed tonight so that should make you feel better.”
“I can’t stay here Bette. It’s just that”
Fuck. Bette. That was a stupid thing to say. Think.

It’s so great to see you back and writing again. As always, you never cease to disappoint! Thanks for sharing such a lovely and beautifully written story — I hope you’ll always find that “calm” in spite of all the work, projects, and that crazy thing called life. :)
its awsome youre back and you continue doing a great job with your stories.please continue we have to have fun in something this season. please post sooon. thank you!
Well…that was very well done. A painful way to say goodbye to her season. Have I mentioned lately how much I love this story?
a fact of life, friends/lovers/family coming together and some..falling apart..so so sad…(I’m still feeling S3 Hel from JKS…both you guys are the best) Thank you for your story..awaiting more…pls
*sigh* beautiful…i’m saying hello to greenie, hello to tina and hello to bette, so glad to see you….(singing in my best mangus voice)…i don’t know how you’re doing it but the words are so beautiful and poignant…and may i request a lifetime for B&T? i think they so need it right now…i’m glad you stick with us, grateful readers, so we can continue to enjoy this wonderful story…thanks babe (i’m not really cute, i have a big potato nose and a huge wart right in a middle)
Greenie,I love the Ventor quote. How apropos. You have this talent to arouse, to provoke, to delight, to sadden with just words. Thanks for the gift. Who is your muse?
Greetings Greentea, thank you so much for continuing this story. It is one of my favs as I have so appreciated the way you expertly weave phrases to relay this emotionally intense, immensely sweet TiBette tale. Please continue sharing.
Greentea, Thank You for your story. I love the relationship and comfort that our favorite girls have now. I have been watching season 3 and wee what can I say. It’s IC’s story to tell I simply must choose to view or not to view. It seems as if she is pulling them so far apart that there can be no return. The reality of the situation is that a new baby so recently after a break in the relationship could very well make a couple move away from each other. Well, I happy that we have fanfic land and can come here and portray our girls as we see fit and with a reverence for their love and connection. Thank you for being a great part of the fanfic universe. Both chapters were super and very well put together. As always you have my attention, until the next chapter.
Greenie….you are simply beautiful…I miss you when you are away. Please don’t let S3 get to you. We need you to continue to keep our girls in love. You can give us a little drama here and there but I know you will keep them together. Your Tina doesn’t deserve to be strangled with a resistance band…IC’s Tina…DOES. Thank you for both of the posts and can’t wait for #3
Damn, that was deep! My God, your writing is unbelievable in the best sense of the word. It’s so nice to have a happy TiBette in fanfic despite the depths of despair that I like to call season 3. I hearby excuse you for not posting more often. I can’t wait to see what’s next for your TiBette.
“The hello of their friendship was born of a goodbye from those closest to them. A goodbye which was unplanned and unwanted, yet a parting nonetheless. Now it seemed they were bidding the same farewell to each other…unplanned and unwanted, yet a parting nonetheless.” These were my favourite lines from the chapter. How sad and how true. Aren’t our lives just filled with hellos and goodbyes?! However “unplanned and unwanted” the goodbye, however sad the goodbye, it is sometimes beyond one’s control. We will however be faced with more hellos. In Bette’s case, the farewell to Helena was “unplanned and unwanted” and even though she didn’t want to let go of their friendship, she realizes that there is nothing she can do about it. Yet, in my opinion, how she handles the hello that brought Tina is more important. This is something she still has control over. The end of an era brings about the beginning of another chapter in all of their lives. Call it life. Call it fate. Thanks for both beautifully written chapters, greentea.
Your writing evokes such emotion in me. It is reminiscent of actual heartbreak. You draw me in with your words, and it leaves a lasting impression…you’ve got the gift. Thanks for sharing it.
Laaaytah Helena..People come in and out of our lives for all sorts of reasons..they were 2 needy bitches and now one isn’t..lol Hi Teatea hope you are having a beautiful day :) I am really annoyed with the new season too. Hot Humps says “IC is a women hater” and I kinda agree her love life must really suck ;p
Green…that was so beautifully written. The sadest moments are when you must say goodbye to someone who has meant so much to you. It isn’t planned or expected but a necessary path of a long journey. Every day we are touched by strangers if only for a brief moment, but in that moment we are changed for a lifetime. The pain of saying goodbye will slowly desolve, but the lessons learned and taught with Helena will live on with Bette. As it should be always. Thanks for these wonderful and loving chapters. As always…a pleasure. Thanks sweetie.
hello Greentea, thank you so much for the update ! Has anyone ever told you that your writing is absolutely amazing ? LOL …well I know that it’s been said so manytimes but really I can’t help myself and you never can get too many compliments ;) these 2 chapters really had me drowning in emotion, it was so beautifull and so sad at the same time. I just can’t believe how you can make me feel so emotional with your writing. I think you could even write a story about a pea and a carrot and I’d still be touched by your words…..allthough I’d prefer it if you stick with B and T ! :DThx again for posting and lots of greetings and a big hug from me and my gf. We’ll blow two kisses your way there’s a lot of wind tonight here in Belgium so it shouldn’t take too long before they reach you ;)
Well once again you’ve managed to be so darn eloquent! Do you ever have a bad writing day? Your Bette is really growing up….even Helena too. What a way to say goodbye. Why do I get the feeling you are ending this story? I sure hope I’m wrong because you are one of the few writers that could convince not to give up hope for Tibette. Thanks again for sharing this story with us. Oh, and I’m sorry you don’t have an office sweetie. You can come share mine anytime ;-P
Thanks for writing a Tina that is likeable, supportive and actually cares about Bette. Boy do I miss those days!
This is awesome!
“All of fate’s a chance;it’s either good or bad….I tossed my coin to sayto say…in love with me you’d stay…but all in war is so cold…you either win or lose;when all is put away…the losing side I’ll play…But all is fair in love;I should have never left your side…A writer takes (her) pen…to write the words again…that all in love is fair;”
always a joy to c u post tea!! aww it was sad..but i mean its painful for both to keep bickering…haha yes yes u r a slacker!! im jk with the quality of ur writing take as long as u need…just not too long ;-) luved it babe waitin for more!
Hey Green!!! When i got on-line tonight and saw not 1 but 2 chapters from you it made my day!!! Although we can’t change what has already been filmed for season 3 we can still have some happiness in fan fic thank you for your wonderful writing!!!
Wow…that just made my heart ache. Beautifully written…thank you.
Hey Baby Doll,You really tugged at the heartstrings with these two parts. You have imbued these installments with such tenderness and torture. One door closes as another one opens in Bette’s life. If you love something you have to let it go, if it returns then it was yours and if not then it never was. The latter case is the friendship with Helena. Life is an extraordinary journey. The beginning and end are marked out but it is the people you meet and how you affect their lives and how they affect yours that makes it all so worthwhile. May they only be there a day or a lifetime does not determine the effect that meeting them has. Helena was there for Bette when she needed her most and this was reciprocated altruistically. Saying a final goodbye is a terrible torment as one cycle ends however you can when cast away these shackles and look to opportunities and possibilities that a new one brings. Now Tina needs to be there for Bette and support her through this period of mourning. I look to Ecclesiastes 3:1-11 “To every thing there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven. A time to be born, And a time to die; A time to plant, And a time to pluck what is planted; A time to kill, And a time to heal; A time to break down, And a time to build up; A time to weep, And a time to laugh; A time to mourn, And a time to dance; A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; A time to gain, And a time to lose; A time to keep, And a time to throw away; A time to tear, And a time to sew; A time to keep silence, And a time to speak; A time to love, And a time to hate; A time of war, And a time of peace.” for an understanding of this time. It is your talent that has crafted such poetic brilliance and forced your audience to worship from afar. (ackn. to JWet)As always, I can’t wait for your next chapter so please post soon.Thank you again for this magnificent melodramaYour Loyal Fan.
AHH ive a lump in my throat after that i know its a beginning as well as an end, and a beginning im loving but….well you know!…Anyway as always delighted to see not 1 post but 2…of such a lovely story…was missing it!thanks
i am a major b&t fan, but in your story i really don’t like tina, and i really feel sorry for helena…your a great writer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
hey greenie!!! I love it when I see your posts. and 2 in one day, wow! hey I know what you mean about S3. the show is not going in a good direction for our girls, and from the previews of ep4, it won’t get any better any time soon. but as someone so aptly wrote, it is IC’s story to tell so…Whatev!!! Greenie your writing is so beautiful. this chapter was a little sad, but it was time for B and H to say goodbye……will we see part 3 today or tomorrow? whenever you can do it baby I’m there.
First off season 3 is so painful to watch, is killing me, I am left feeling so empty and crushed after each show. So I turn to fanfic and Hello! greentea has posted not 1 but 2 chapters and all of a suden I am jumping up and down and life seems so much better…I wish I could put in to words what your writting does to me…you are so amazing, you tell such a great story and I am left always wanting more…I loved both chapters, awaiting the next. Thanks a bunch your loyal fan B.
Lovely. I’m glad Tina’s being more quietly supportive during this development in Bette’s life. I’m also glad Bette and Helena were able to part at least amicably. Good stuff, greentea!
you found a new way to try and kill me taking all day to post!!!!!!!!!! you made me feel bad for helena OMG!!!!!! Do i need to talk to your boss cause he is trying to kill me too make the post longer were is part 3!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful as always Greenie :o)…..loving the story as you well know. Sorry I didn´t comment on the other one, but just went on today and saw your postings. Can´t wait for part 3 to be up and running. Please hurry and my breathing is back to normal thanks to the oxygen :O)))
have to come back…you know me, i can’t stay away even if i try…i think i’m attached to the story by more than just my mind…anyway, since IC is such a meanie to us, Tibetters, i look for double meaning in everything now, so i have to re-read this part…and this is indeed beautiful if you made me feel sad for helena, and i do…i hate goodbyes, especially when they are final…i hope helena will find peace and happiness…bring the jury back and a lifetime of happiness and no goodbyes to B&T…thanks for your beautiful mind
Wow the reason, the season is so absolutely beautiful and full of meaning. It made me stop for a moment and think about my family, friends and GF – thank you for that!!!! Please don’t let S3 get to you, we need you and all the other writers to keep the B&T hope alive – we’ve to have faith (easy for me to say, I can’t see S3) but it’s true, we’ve to have B&T faith….I truly hope you keep posting and not a single word from me about THE PROMISE :o)) Take care…
angel, im trying to get it fixed. i miss reading and commenting. you have mail though. have some sake for me, k? yours
“Whats goin on with me?”–Nothing..that might be the problem.Whatever…I’ll have to hit you up soon.One of these days. Promise. *tries to remember promise* LOLAnd just for you Ill try to look for more food comparisons I can generously include in my comments to you in the future. So do not go on some training regimen any time soon. I might even work on an extension of ‘THE list’ ;-). Thanks for hearting me back..I smiled.:-D *hehe*“An average person would probably describe them as sexy. But not Helena. She might as well have heard nails on a chalkboard with the volume turned way the hell up.”—Bwuahahaha!! That MUST have been a cruel thing to hear then…and im yet undecided whether I feel sympathy for Helena or would rather force her to listen to hours of the same sound as form of sweet torture..LOL ;-)“A greater part, however, wished that Helena hadn’t overheard something that might cause such enormous pain. She wouldn’t wish that on anyone, including her worst enemy.“—This pretty much summed up my sentiments towards the whole ‘split’ between Hel &Bette…Despite seeing it inevitable and good for the sake of decreasing drama in the area, the idea that Helena and the feelings she carried got hurt somehow made this perfectly written piece of closure between two women a lil saddening…for lack of better words.“Helena fought to keep the wails of sadness from escaping her mouth. She lost the battle against her tears however, and resignedly swallowed the salty drops of liquid, along with her pride.”seemingly simply written but the choice of your words…the descriptiveness of them…that you can envision how Helena slowly looses the fight against her emotions. Watching something emotional evolve in a beautiful way. That’s deep in its own right.Lastly…the whole act of Bette approaching to hug Helena was something else. I mean…it really caused a flood of compassion to wash over me and Im not even that easily affected. The sadness of it and the physical proximity being paired with the waiting farewell…thats such a contrast of conflicting issues mixed into a few lines of closely-knit description. Drawing out how Helena’s whole being feels broken apart and her body lying in pieces was poetic and simple altogether:“She felt broken and disjointed – an arm here, a neck there, a heart in a million pieces everywhere. She waited impatiently for Bette’s comforting arms to locate and rescue her. These arms belong to Tina she thought. Helena nearly collapsed as Bette’s strong embrace surrounded and supported her.”—Sad and beautiful!!! Helena falling apart in all single pieces and joints…heavy.And in all this you couldn’t have found a more fitting quote to accompany the chapters—till now. Whatever remains to happen in part 3!! But basically Helena and Bettes phase ends and the quote is a fitting attachment to it.On another note..another one of those lines that make me heart the story just a lil harder each time:“She took a deep breath and slowly morphed into a state of mindfulness.”—that’s such a YOU line. So just Greenie!! Makes me smile cause I always know somewhere in there I will find such a line. And it always leaves me hanging like: Huh??*makes stupid faces* Mindfulness??I do have to admit I might be lackin some braincells for your story..lolAll..in all…these two chapters are a striking combination of past and present and hello and farewell and happiness and sadness and the fusion is what makes the treat of reading just THAT more sweet. :-)Do NOT use the bad word starting with ‘dis’ in your reply to my comment and in case you are wondering what the HECK this whole comment was trying to say…do not ask me, writing this was all a sort of blur so if I come back tomorrow and reread it I will prolly end up like.WTF? lol
