Just The Girl – Chapter Forty Three (a HYD-inspired fic)
“Tsk.” She clicked her tongue in gross disapproval as she caught sight of her reflection on the mirror by the sink, the dark circles under her eyes gained prominence with each passing day. Opening up the small cabinet behind the glass, she took out her trusty container of eye cream and applied the product fervently to her tired eyes. She should probably get used to getting little or no sleep in this place – so maintaining her stock of expensive facial products was one of the few indulgences that she would not let go.
POP.
“Ack!” Bette yelped in surprise when electricity sparked as she plugged in her hair dryer, something that always seem to happen a lot with the sockets in this apartment. She did not get electrocuted, thank God, but she did get a nice scare out of it. “Fucking place is a fire hazard too.” She muttered under her breath. Oh well, hopefully she won’t accidentally burn the pad down with a $220 hairdryer that James got for her in Sears. That would suck.. and ruin her hair. She dried and brushed her wavy brown locks into a more manageable and presentable state, singing a sappy power ballad all the while. Thankfully for the poor neighbors, the hairdryer drowned out her grating voice.
Walking back to her room, she stepped in front of her pea-sized closet and surveyed her trimmed down wardrobe. Although she missed having a lot of choices when it comes to clothes, she couldn’t help but feel a little relieved that she didn’t have to go through a thousand and one selections each day. Gingerly, she sifted through the different fabrics and meticulously examined each one – checking for holes, teeth marks and whatnot. There were none, her clothes were untouched. “Thanks Chessy.” She sighed in relief as she shot a quick glance at the small opening at the corner. Tina was right, once she started playing nice with the rats, Chester didn’t play with her clothes anymore. “Boho-chic.” She decided, opting for a pair of faded skinny jeans, a blue sequined wide-strapped tank top with an empire waist and some flats. She stood in front of the mirror and studied her reflection with judging eyes. “Hot as always.” She grinned, patting herself on the back for a job well done. Being poor certainly did not give her an excuse to let her pretty little self go.

That is so wrong on so many levels. Sam is sad right now, but she is very much aware how Bette is when it comes to Tina. She’s messing up with TiBette. I see drama
Glad that u are back. Loved the humor in this update…So sad about Helena & Sam-things starting to get real complicated…Sam wondering What If about Tina. Can’t wait for more. Awesome job!!!!
Wow another excellent chapter, poor Sam n poor Helena who won’t see the end of her ‘sisterly love’ lol PPS n I love the length of ur posts
I was starting to have withdrawls from this story! Awesome update as usual! Can’t wait for the next part! PPS!
No Sam that is not right, think of Bette. Ion’t think Sam loves Tina that way she is just lost. I hope Helena willput this right before leving for South Africa, after all Sam has got a private jet so she could se her wherever Helna is.I hope I a big deep cleaning will be organise to make Bette’s appartment habitable hey.Great chapter Alchemy10 PPS
oh shit!
Helena is an ass. Bette is going to kill Sam(maybe, she knows she’s hurting) Tina is in deep trouble.
Oh no! Poor Sam, but she knows better. She didn’t fall for Tina because she loves Helena… I hope Sam drops this line of thought really quickly, cos the potential for drama if/when Bette finds out is gonna be massive. Yikes! Thanks for the post, Alchemy
i have loved this story since the first chapter, but i have to say, that i really love your sence of humor u crack me up!!can’t wait for more!!!!!!!!!
This is not going to end well at all. Tina needs to tell Bette what happened right away. I know Sam is upset but going up to Tina like that was so not smart. WOW!!! The DRAMA!!! What Helena said to Sam so wrong. Thanks PPVS
I really feel sorry for Sam. :< She waited so long to score with Helena and when they finally did it, boom!, Helena loved her just like a kid sister. Poor Sam. And if she doesn't let go of Tina anytime soon and shake off the regrets nonsense, I fear for her safety too. We all know how Porter turns into a possessive and murderous maniac when it comes to Kennard. Tina better wriggle out of that desperate embrace before Bette catches them. I think at this stage the triangle won't work because Tina is already over her Sam crush and Sam had given her word to Bette that she's not interested in Tina. Come on, Alchemy. Pair her off with someone else so she'll get over Helena. Maybe she'll have chemistry with Dawn Denbo or her lover Cindy or even Molly, but please, please, don't make her chase Tina. I'm sure you can come up with other interesting twists and source of drama but please, not the Bettinasam triangle. Thank you for this post, Alchemy! I sure don't mind its length! PPS! :>
Bette is funny. Poor Sam, but hope she not do anything stupid that will hurt Bette and Tina. Hope Helena will talk to Sam and make thing right before she go. Please post more thanks!
