You went to bed that evening feeling scared or even anxious about the next time you were going to see Helena. After all, she was busy filming Harry Potter. Would she have time to see a 19 year old that was completely in love with her when she didn't even have time to see her own children?
In fact, that night you couldn't sleep at all. It was 3AM when you headed down the hall to where Helena slept. You gently opened the door as you held a small piece of paper with your phone number scrawled on the back. She looked so peaceful as she slept. Her curls exploding on her pillow as her thin pink lips moved up and down in correspondence with her breathing rate. You couldn't bare to leave her after not knowing when you were going to see her again.
She murmed as you climbed into her bed before rolling over and accidentally hitting you in the face. "Cheers Helena" you mumbled as you nestled into the sheets. You fell asleep almost as your head hit the pillow. She was so comforting and made you feel so safe. You felt like no one could hurt you when you were with Helena. She was your person.
Her alarm suddenly started bleeping at 5am. Your eyes were still so raw and sore from the lack of sleep. "Hello you" she giggled, despite it being so early. "How long've you been here" she whispered. "Since 3AM" you yawned. "Couldn't sleep"
"Y/N you need your sleep.. it'll help keep your skin youthful and soft" she said. "Remember sleep is the most natural producer of collagen my love" she said, stroking your head. "I've got to go now darling but you know where everything is" she said, placing a kiss on the top of your head. "Enjoy" you said, handing her the piece of paper. "That's me.." you said, as she took it into her freshly manicured hands. "Thankyou love" she said, before leaving the room.
You didn't know what to do with yourself now that Helena was gone. You grabbed your belongings then headed back into your bedroom. Still being unable to sleep, you read some poetry you had saved on your phone till you heard voices. "Come on Nell time to get up" Billy said. "I don't want to" she complained. "Its Monday you have school" he said. You crept down the hallway. "Billy?" you said as his face shot up at you. "I'm so sorry Y/N did we wake you?" he said. "No don't worry I couldn't sleep" you replied. "Y/N please don't make me go" the young girl cried.
"Your mummy would be very mad with me" you giggled. "How about if me and Billy take you to school and we grab icecream afterwards?" you said, taking her hands. She had her thinking face on and it wasn't long before she finally agreed. "Okay" she grumbled, getting up out of bed and ready for school. "Your so good with her" Billy whispered as you smiled.
It wasn't long before you were all ready and out of the door. Walking down the beautiful area of Hampstead with Nell's hands interlinked with yours and Billys, you eventually arrived at Nell's school. It was large and very grand with large gates. "Go on then Nellie" Billy called as she headed into school as her little backpack rested upon her shoulders. "I think we should grab breakfast" Billy said as you walked back to Helena's. "Good idea" you yawned, as the pair of you came to a small cafe.
"I think I'm going to have.. orange juice and a full English" you chirped. "I was thinking exactly the same thing. "Here we are" the waitress said, bringing out two plates and placing them down. "Give my mum your best Bill" she said, before giving you a quick smile and heading off. "Will do" he said, as he rolled his eyes playfully. "So do you and your mum come here often" you said. "Every Sunday" he replied, handing you your cutlery. "Graciass" you laughed. "Amazing" you said. "It is isn't it? They do know how to put together a good breakfast" he said, finishing his meal.
"Right Bill I think I need to head home soon" you said, a few hours after arriving back at Helena's. "Yeh that's all good Y/N" he replied. "What time does Nell finish? I promised her ice cream" you said, as he smiled at you. "That's why I'm so blessed to have you as my bestfriend" he said, as you blushed."She finishes at 3pm. I'll stop by yours and we'll go together" he said. "Perfect" you smiled as you headed back to your little apartment. It was just as you left it. You snuggled in bed as you got a million and one notifications on your phone. It was from your parents. Your friends. Even Helena. "Y/N check the news" "Y/N what?" "What the fuck Y/N".
What the chuff were these bloody people on about? You opened your laptop and clicked on the Daily Mail. "BILLY BURTON, 19 SEEN WITH RUMOURED TO BE GIRLFRIEND" "BILLY IN LOVE? HELENA BONHAM CARTER, 55, AND TIM BURTON, 62, SON SEEN OUT IN NORTH LONDON WITH SISTER NELL, 9, AND HIS NEW GIRLFRIEND"
"Oh for fucks sake" you grumbled, hitting your head against the wall. You clicked onto Helena's message. Luckily it was just a 'hi love its H xx' You honestly couldn't believe it. Now the whole bloody country thought you and Billy Burton were an item. You rang him immediately. "Y/N I'm so sorry" he said. "Paparazzi are horrendous I should've known better".
"Bill its not your fault" you said. "I know" he replied. "I just don't want you to feel uncomfortable.. I know how upset Mum gets" he said, solemnly. "Just don't worry" you said. "See you at half 2" you added. "If you still want to" he said. "Of course I do my beautiful boyfriend" you joked as he laughed in response. "Alright future wife" he giggled, referencing to the Daily Mail's comments. You changed into a pair of high waisted black jeans and a puffy blouse. If you were going to be photographed and be associated with Helena, you wanted to look good.
Billy came to collect you at approximately half past two and the two of you headed to go collect Nell for icecream. It was an adorable little parlour with a large outdoor seating arrangement. Outside, there were 5 tables each painted a brilliant white and covered with a baby pink and blue umberella. "I've got it" you said as you paid for the ice cream. "Y/N no-" he said. "Whats mine is yours and what yours is mine" you said, bringing the icecreams over to the table. "Thankyou" they both said. "No worries" you said, as you licked your cone.
You spent the rest of the day playing with both Nell and Billy in a park local to Hampstead so you weren't far from Helena's. As you got home, you checked your phone frantically to see if Helena had messaged. Still nothing.
'hello you x'
That was the last text you'd sent Helena. 12 hours ago. Obviously, you didn't want to pressure her but it still kinda hurt. She was one of the only people in the world that made you feel safe or that made you feel anything at all and to hear nothing was an emotional blow. You tried ringing. Every call was declined.
'everything okay?'
This was the final message you were going to send. A simple 'yes im fine talk later?' would've been sufficient but to be blanked especially after the time you'd shared together. 'yes stop calling' she replied. "Oh nice to hear from you Helena" you spat. 'fine.' you replied. Who the hell did she think she was? After that, you stopped. You stopped calling. You stopped messaging. You didn't give her the time of day. She didn't deserve it.
Heartbreak was probably the only way to describe it. You felt used if anything. Billy noticed there was something wrong when you returned to Uni. "Everything okay?" he asked, as you sat down for yet another lecture. "Yes" you replied. "Are you sure?" he said, still unconvinced. "Yes for goodness sake" you snapped. "I'm sorry" you said, quickly apologising. "I'm just stressed at the moment"
"No worries Y/N" he said, smiling weakly. "Obviously I know its last minute but Dad is back and I'd love for you to come over this weekend if you feel comfortable" he said. Of fucking course. She had her 'husband' back. She no longer needed you. You were disposable to her and clearly what you had didn't mean fuck all to her. "Of course I will Bill" you smiled, sweetly. "Wouldn't miss it for the world".
Oh you were right about that. You wasn't going to miss this 'Family' style weekend. You could easily play the same game Helena was playing and boy were you going to make her feel it.
