And the week before that…
“Sorry again, Bette. But El had planned a special surprise for me tonight. I feel bad if I were to do a rain check after all that he’s done. I hope you understand. Really, really sorry dear.”
Helena observed the visible change in Bette’s facial expression as a strong sense of guilt washed over her.
“Bette, I’m so, so, so, so, so, sorry. I got the days mixed up.” Helena apologized softly and sincerely.
Bette didn’t respond, let alone, look at Helena.
“A few of El’s works are being displayed at this gallery and it means a lot to him if I were there at the opening.”
Bette was annoyed, irritated and angry. She was sick of Helena cancelling on her again and again. She was sick of pretending that she wasn’t sick of Helena cancelling on her again and again.
Don’t overreact, Bette. No big deal. Just let it go.
“Yeah, okay. Whatever…” Bette murmured, convinced to let this go.
Helena felt so remorseful.
“I promise that I would make it up to you okay?”
That was it. That very statement triggered Bette to unleash all that annoyance, irritation, frustration and anger that she had bottled up for so long.
“No, Helena…” Bette shot. “You’re always making empty promises you know that? In case you haven’t realized, you never make it up to me.”
Helena felt ashamed and extremely guilty for neglecting her best friend for the past months.
She really did meant it whenever she said that she would make it up but it just so happens that every single time she’s about to make it up, something else comes up.
Bette had her jaws clamped down tightly while rubbing both of her hands roughly against each other. This was the angriest that Helena had ever seen Bette.
“Bette, come on…” Helena tried to calm the brunette down.
Bette looked up from her hands and at Helena.
“No, you come on.” She huffed, trying hard to not raise her voice any louder. “It’s always El, El, El! El, this. El that. I’m so sick of El!”

I’m with you Jac. I just hope the next time Bette sees Helena she’ll tell her to pack up her shit and move in with her fake boyfriend because she’s fake and they should be happy living fake ever after….lol. I hate to say this but Helena is getting on my nerves because I can’t stand fake, cowardly people. Has Helena tried talking to her parents or has she over heard them crticizing gays and that’s why she’s afraid to be herself. Talking is always the best solution so maybe when Helena decides to grow some and stand up for herself she’ll find that her parents don’t care who she loves as long as she’s happy. pps.
Whoaaaaa!! Is H that blind…and B has to open up or step away!! I’d say open up even if she doesn’t tell H she’s in love with her….but she can’t stew in her own juices…you know!!!
oh oh!!! This didn’t go well, did it? Bette and helena will have to talk at some point. It might help them move on about their feeling for each other. I just hope Helena will decide to date women and specially bette but if not may be may be bring Tina as a threat might make her change her mind. Great post even if it is sad to see them like that. PPVS
I feel like they’re both in the wrong for that…I understand both sides. Sounds like an argument I had last night….hmm…anyway, good post, pps
Maybe it’s me but for some reason I believe this is the argument they needed to get the ball rolling. Great update!
I loved this chapter. Great tension between both of them. I hope Helena realises how fake it is her relationship wth El and how much in love she is with Bette.
