    That Same Old Two-Step

    “I don’t do grand romantic gestures. I don’t know how to do that,” Bette mumbled.

    “You didn’t even bother to try.”

    “I said I was sorry!”

    “Sorry isn’t good enough in a situation like yours. Besides the way Alice tells it you were still shagging Candace while you were apologizing.”

    “You let this woman whom you barely know take away time from your children. You let her use you and you think that’s okay. How much did your mother screw you up, Helena? It’s not okay to be used and abused.”

    “She doesn’t abuse me.”

    “Really? You’re dependent on her. Staying with her. She holds all the cards right? Alice said you lost your money at the races. Catherine told you to bet on that horse and you did. Losing all your money doesn’t mean you’ve lost all your brain cells, Helena! You blew almost a hundred thousand dollars. You could have lived on that for quite some time before you found a job.”

    “I heard your Jodi doesn’t like children. And yet you’re still with her. Don’t cast stones.”

    “It’s different.”

    “No it’s not.”

    “You’re behaving like you’ve had a lobotomy.”

    “You’re exaggerating.”

    “And you’re here at my house because Catherine kicked you out, right?”

    “No,” Helena said but her voice lacked conviction.

    “She was finished with you and tossed you aside. How can you let some one treat you like that?”

    “She treated me quite well.”

    “You know what?” Bette said as she stood unsteadily. “Get up.”

    Helena peered up at Bette through blurry eyes.

    “I’m comfortable thank you very much.”

    “Get up you fucking English bitch. Up!”

    “Fuck you Bette. You fucking….control freak!”

    Bette grabbed Helena’s arm and pulled her to her feet. Dragging her along she headed for the bathroom.

    “Look at yourself. You’re disgusting, Helena. Wearing dirty sweats. Letting some woman dictate to you. Neglecting your children. What is this proving to Peggy? You’re just showing her that she’s raised a woman who can’t see how much she’s worth. That lets people lead her around like a stray puppy.”

    “She didn’t raise me. That money was mine! She shouldn’t have taken it from me!”

    “Helena money isn’t everything.”

    “Says the woman with a job.”

    “That it took a me a long time to nab, Helena. Tell me what you see.”

    1. Speed Racer, Nice story! I’ve been waiting about a month for the resolution to the cliffie from “Say It Like you Mean It.” This is a great Bette/Helena interlude and very possible. I just loved the way you let them bait each other in “Mean It.” Hope you haven’t given up on that one. I know it’s often hard to get to post when you have that real life thing going on, but hope you have time soon! Thanks for writing!!!!!!!!!!!!

    2. Hey SR, Great intro for what promises to be an interesting and humorous tale. Loved the ending as both gals stood shouting their respective mantras. I can’t wait until you continue this story as it illustrates your terrific talent. Many thanks, Your Loyal Fan.

    3. speedy hun, did I ever tell you that you ROCK! I mean, you could write a story about George W. and his teddy bear and I’d still be captivated by it! Awesome! I think this is the 2nd story you should continue (after Say It :p) Speaking about Say it. I’m VERY eagerly waiting for the next chapter ;)

    4. I haven’t read it yet but had to make comment. Thanks for the “crumb” I know it will be filling and thanks to JaneC for tipping me off on another site that Speed_Racer has posted a story. Now I will go read ;-)

    5. Thanks for the story. If only the writers of this show could have one tenth of the insight you have into Helena our favorite season 2 bitch. Great interaction between the two. Very much in character to both. Now I’ll go read it again about two three more times.
