    Author Notes:

    A leap of faith

     

     Bette’s head was spinning. Why couldn’t she just listen to what Helena had said and give her the assurances she sought, which would have been so easy to do. Tell her no matter what path she chose in life, she would make a success of it through sheer strength of will and heart. How she could never fail to live up to expectations because she exceeded them in every way. Why the hell couldn’t she take a chance and tell Helena these things, risk her pride being hurt to comfort the woman she loved.

    "Helena" Bette shouted as she raced out of the door "Helena please"

    She softly placed her hand on her arm as she caught her up.

    "Please Helena. Come back inside, don’t leave like this"

    Helena turned and said with a heavy heart "I think it would be better for us to have a little time apart Bette" as the tears pricked her eyes.

    "We’ve had too much time apart lately, that’s the problem. I’m an idiot Helena; I didn’t mean what I said. Its just, I….I feel desperate, I’ll miss you if you go to New York. I miss you already. I don’t want you to go." she added in a whisper "Please, just come back inside and let’s talk"

    Helena sighed. She hated hurting Bette and she knew that’s exactly what she had been doing for the last few weeks. She was scared and confused, and Bette was right – she was running away. Closing herself off as she always did, withdrawing from the person she claimed to love.

    She nodded and they slowly and silently walked back towards the house.

    "Do you want a drink?" Bette asked tentatively as Helena sat down. "I don’t know about you but I could do with a glass of wine" she added with a small smile, trying to break the tension

    "That would be good, thanks"

    A couple of minutes later she returned with the drinks, having given herself a little time to gather her composure the best she could, her mind and heart still racing. She placed the wine on the coffee table and sat next to Helena

    "Thank you"

    "What’s happened to us lately?" she asked softly, as she searched for Helena’s eyes who wouldn’t look at her. "I don’t know what I’ve done, I don’t know how I can put it right but please believe I would do anything to get back what we had"

    1. Silly, that would be totally silly of you to end the story in this very silly way. Silly you must continue. I for one an not accepting “the end”, and I have been know to hassle the Belena writers for more, more, more… So Silly you must continue you silly girl.

    2. BTW I agree that photo of Helena at the top is very inspirational. I note Jodi is the only thing standing between Bette and Helena and all Bette has to do is shake Tina off her back and there we go. ;-D

    3. Uh…NOOOO! Uh…I think you think wrong, Silly willy. No end…No end. Heheh…Like Squirl (at whom I’m chuckling), I would much prefer that you continue with this story…Search your heart for what happens next…for an obstacle to overcome. You write really well, and I hope you’re enjoying it enough to want to continue. Please keep going!! (uh…*down on knees begging*) And thank you for what you’ve already given.

    4. If only the characters on the show demonstrated that kind of character growth. I agree that a conclusion seems mighty premature at this stage. In any event, thanks for posting!

    6. Great story! I hope you will continue it. Now they don’t have to jump into bed right away, maybe you can have them go out on a few real dates. And just maybe that will get the juices flowing, so to speak.

    8. i’m not even worried about this being the end because they are just getting started. you’ve got too much talent for this to be the end..surely you jest…hahaha..really love the dialogue..PPS
