I Take All The Blame
“Mummy, you there?”
“In here, darling.” Helena made her way in. Her mother was at her mirror, fooling with her hair.
“Mum, are you alright?”
“Fantastic.”
“Are you sure?”
“More sure than I’ve ever been.”
“Where’s Melvin?”
“Who the hell knows and who the hell cares? He can rot in hell. How dare he talk like that about you and Bette like that? I will not have it. I asked for a divorce. I’m on my way to meet my lawyers right now.”
Helena didn’t want to jump out of her skin in front of her mother. A divorce for Peggy and Melvin meant a future for Helena and Bette.
“Well, that’s unfortunate.”
“I thought you would be happy. Now, you and Bette can carry on a relationship in the open. Of course, it will be difficult explaining that to the girls.”
“Wait…you knew?”
“Don’t be silly Helena. Everyone can see the way you look at her. And, Christ, the way she looks at you! I saw it the moment you two were introduced.”
“And you don’t see anything wrong with this?”
“Good heavens, no! Why would I see something wrong with the unrestrained love between two people? Helena, I don’t care about her being a woman or how I feel like she’s my own daughter. I just want you to be happy, my dear. And if it is Bette who does that for you, then that’s what I want for you.”
Helena grinned at her mother.
“Thanks, Mummy. You’re the greatest.”
“This, I know. Please, excuse me dear. I must go if I want to keep any of my money from that wretched man.”
“Go get ‘em, mum.”
An hour later, Helena was meeting Alice at a park. She met Alice when she was 16 at boarding school when Alice’s mother moved her out of Los Angeles. Nobody knew for sure why Lenore Piezecki wanted to move away so badly, but Helena was glad she did. Alice was the only person other than Bette that she could trust. Of course, Alice had never met Bette. That was one provision Helena had. None of her friends were to ever meet Bette. Because their relationship never had a label, Helena knew that any of their friends were fair game.

Hello Ash, the pain that can be inflicted by a parent is devastating, and on top of Bette getting the best news of her young independent life she has to deal with Melvin. For her she still has so many issues to deal with, once Helena finds out what happened she is going to see Red; she will also feel guilty that she wasn’t there to protect the woman that she loves. Your details bring out the intensity of this situation, I have been on the ledge, felt those pressures, I’m just luck enough to have pulled back before I went down a path that might have left me even more alone. You are rocking this out, Luv it, Sincerely, JC
I DON’T THINK BETTE WOULD EVER CUT HER WRISTS LIKE THAT. SHE MIGHT DRINK HERSELF INTO OBLIVION BUT SHE’S NOT A CUTTER. JMO.
I’ve seen some evil people in my life, but Melvin is a work of art…bad art! This is a great story with real life behavior for some. Life isn’t always pretty, but with the support of those you love and who love you, there’s always a chance for happiness.
Ash. Did I feel her pain. I felt every cut. Well written. Melvin’s nick name must be DICK.As far as Bette cutting. Your story you tell it. Hopefully our girls will begin to rely on each other for strength because they need somebody but unfortunately they are both pretty dysfunctional.
Ash I could feel Helena’s happiness but at the sametime I could feel Bette’s pain and Helena could feel that there was something not right. Melvin is a jerk!!!
Omg I hate that blood-letting stuff…slit Melvin’s throat plz…get these girls 2gether Ash. PPS
wow, ash, you never fail to make a reader feel your words. well done, as always. how young are they in this story again? if they’re as young as i think they are, it makes perfect sense that their whole world is based on what their parents tell them it looks like. helena’s parentage teaches her that the world is wide open and free, bette’s teaches her quite the opposite. another brilliant observation from the show itself, on your part, i might add. pps and i’m off to read your others now!
So I was thrilled….at first. Peggy laid down the law w/ Melvin and Helena and Bette were going to be able to be together. But then Melvin had to come along and completely destroy his daughter. What a prick! Way to take repsonsibility Melvin. So this is getting even more complicated. What happens w/ the girls when Melvin and Peggy get divorced? I mean who gets custody? Hopefully not Melvin b/c if so I’m sure he’ll do everything in his power to poisin them both against Peggy, Helena and Bette. And Bette was having such a great day with getting the new job and all and then Melvin had to come and destry that as well. i sure hope Helena can help Bette get over harmful behavior. PPS!
yikes…i felt it too…PPS
I hope Peggy finds out about Melvin’s role in Bette’s cutting. Then he’ll have more than a divorce to worry about.
MELVIN IS A BIG JERK
