Don’t Give Up #06
I tried to keep my drinking to a minimum but the days were long and the nights seemed even longer. I had to fill a void; but also avoid turning myself into a self-destructive mess.
After finishing up the meeting with Helena and a few execs who flew in from Canada, I thought after the mess today had been I deserved a stiff drink to unwind. Today’s events were a nightmare; all my worst fears coming true. I was going to end up alone, old and heartbroken.
Tina had made it clear to me she held all the cards. But somehow I just felt the light at the end of the tunnel had just give up and been switched off. Although I knew she would call, I just didn’t know if I could process or divulge any more information about her wanting this abortion.
Even if she didn’t want me back I still think she would make a great mother, for me there would be foreseeable work to undergo. Then still, I could see our little our boy or girl here, their presence was unnerving like they were asking me not to give up on Tina or on them. It was hard not to want to bury my head in the sand like I normally would have, this time I knew it was give up or give it my all and I wanted it to be the latter.
Helena was dropping by to pick up some paperwork for the next alignment of projects; as I sank into the sofa and felt my joints relax there was a slight tap at the door. It had to be Helena. I unwantingly removed myself from the sofa to answer the door I was right it was Helena.
"Hi Bette, sorry to come by so late just me and Winnie got into abit of a tiff about who’s having the kids this weekend". She smiled weakly as I gestured for her to come inside. "Starting early I see".
She was on the mark, she noticed my half full glass of whiskey on the coffee table. "Oh it’s just to help me unwind; been a long day you know".
I sighed I knew Tina was staying with Helena. But they hadn’t seemed as close as Tina and Alice. But Alice seemed to be going through some kind of crisis of her own with her family. I wanted to ask how Tina seemed and whether she knew about the baby. But I discouraged myself not to.

I had to go for a run tonight before settling to read your new chapter! I need a strong heart these days to withstand your assaults on it! I like your Helena ….not the spooky, rotten rich girl but a kinder one …now this is where I need a strong heart…..we are not heading in a Belena direction I hope? :0)…thank you for posting
Spooky? I meant spoiled …..damn iPad, predictive text! :0)
First, so excited about the next to posts I see and will be reading both of them immediately after this comment. Now, excellent update. I like that Helena and Bette can talk about their lives. They were always more alike than they ever would admit to being. It sounds like Bette will truly take Helena’s advice to heart, I hope she will. On to Moi Lolita. Thank you.
Excellent update. Thank you.
I like ” your ” Helena.Thank you for the update.
That talk with Helena has given Bette much food for thought. She had better act on this information post haste, she will need it dealing with Tina. Hope she is successful in getting Tina back in her life again and stop her from having the abortion. I don’t think Tina really wants an abortion so Bette had better hurry and reassure Tina and ask forgiveness. For some reason I don’t quite trust Helena in this story. Great update. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for the update. Now, Bette needs to go to Tina and convince her to keep the baby… seriously. After that is done, they need to get back together. How that is going to happen, I have no idea but I hope you do ;) PPS
Yeah, your Helena is such a relief! Sensible, not bitchy and a good influence for Bette.
I really loved this chapter and thanks for the comment you left
I like the story but I hope this is not a Belena story. If it is, please inform us.
