Helena

Chapter 7 Thursday night goes to parents

The two days seemed to pass by rather quickly. Helena couldn't keep herself from thinking about what they would do tonight.....but then Helena thought...." We need to go see my parents!!" "That's the whole reason we were walking down town then Bentley pulled a gun from his ass to save me...how could I forget...?" "Where did that thing even come from??!!" Helena thought. Bentley walked into Helena's hospital room to find her in her aburn dress in a wheel chair waiting to get the hell out of there. "Hahaha...you look ready to go....now you didn't forget tonight riigghhtt??" Asked Bentley. ..a devilish smile approaching his lips. "N..no I didnt....but I just remembered...that we need to go see my pa...." Helena was cut off by Bentley pushing her wheel chair extremely fast. "Aaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!! Slow the HELL dooooowwwwwnn!!!!!!!" Screamed Helena. "The hell to the no....we need to get to my house and fast!" Bentley laughed that sentence. "AAAHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" Screamed Helena at the top of her little lungs. When he got her in the car he was driving sort of recklessly. "Slow down!!" Shouted Helena. "Make a turn here!!" She shouted. "Why my house is straight this way.." Helena felt like she needed to take charge. She took the wheel from him and made it go left...just the direction she wanted. "What the hell?!" Asked Bentley. "Shut the hell up and drive we need to see my parents!" said Helena. "Oh yeeaaah..." Trailed off Bentley. Helena face palmed. They pulled up to Helena's house.The house was rather beautiful. The house looked old and was covered by weeping welow trees. Helena could see her bedroom window and wondered how sad her parents must be. Helena wanted to be a human forever again. But, time was running out and Helena only had three days left to find peace. She hoped her new boyfriend Bentley could help her. Helena saw the old red door she was always used to seeing. When she was little she would run up to the mat when it was raining and wipe her little yellow rain boots on the mat. Helena's favorite thing to do when she was little was stop around in puddles when it rained. Helena took a deep breath from all of these flashbacks and held back her tears....for she would be reunited with her family again....soon she instantly felt safe. She and Bentley ran up hand in hand to her door and knocked rather loudly. Helena hide behind Bentley's back so when they opened the door she could jump out and scream surprise. Bentley waited for them to answer. Finally the door opened. Helena's mother answered. Bentley saw a petite woman in her late 30's. It was truly amazing.....Helena and her mother looked so alike Bentley could have sworn they were twins or something. The only thing different about the two was Helena had shining green eye's and her mother had thoughtful brown eye's. "Yes...oh hello what can I do for you?" Asked the kind woman. Bentley moved aside so Helena was now showing. "Surprise mama!!!!" Screamed Helena happily. "Aaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!" Screamed Helena's mother. And with that her dear mother fainted. Helena started laughing her little girl laugh and tould Bentley or rather demanded him to help her with her mother. The two soon brought her inside. "Hello.....what are you doing in my house?! With my wife and Helena why are you........." Said a strange voice which happened to be Helena's father. He stopped talking because he was in shock his dead 15 year old daughter was standing in front of him....let alone with some boy.....holding his unconscious wife's body. "H....Helena....?" Asked her father cautiously. "Yes daddy....it's me." Helena whispered with a smile. Thomas (Helena's father) eye's started to well up with tears. The man let out a cry and immediately hugged his daughter. The two both started crying in each other's arms. Bentley stood there holding Elba (Helena's mother) in his arm's, watching the two reunit. He smiled to himself. Everything was looking up for them......or so they thought?

As soon as Elba woke up Bentley and Helena started explaing what had happened. "And that's the story!" Smiled Helena. "Oh my, I just can't believe my little Helena is here with us again.....well while you two are here....why don't you stay for dinner." Said Elba with a smile approaching her face. Helena and her mother were very alike. Same thoughtful brains that could think for a mile or even two! Same amazing personalitys that could kindle every heart in the world. And same beautiful looks....although those eye's.....both were memorizing. "Wait, I have a better idea mama!!!!" Said Helena with joy. Helena continued, "Bentley and I could spend the night!! Oh, how wonderful it would be to sleep in my soft, cozy bed again!" Helena smiled at her brilliant idea. 'How wonderful it would be if I could sleep in that bed with you....' Thought Bentley silently. Suddenly he felt an urge in his pants. 'I need to stop thinking that way.....ugh.' Thought Bentley with slight worry on his face. "Is everything alright Bentley? " Asked Thomas suspiciously. "Oh....no sir not at all!!" Replied Bentley rather fast. Thomas raised an eyebrow but forgot about it. "Well why don't I start making the casserole, Helena, why don't you spend some time with your mother in the kitchen like the old days." Said Elba with a kind face. "Sure mama!!" Smiled Helena brightly. And off the two went to make some dinner. Bentley felt a bit uneasy with Thomas staring him down. 'He is just an overprotective father...that's all.' Bentley thought to himself. "So...Thomas-" Started Bentley but Thomas interrupted him. "That's Mr. Vert to you young man." Said Thomas with a grimacing look on his face. Bentley shifted a little on the sofa. He truly was frightened....but just a little. "Sorry sir, I mean Ma'ma, I mean Mr. Vert, I mean hoopla...wait I mean Mr. Vert!!" Shouted Bentley. He was shaking like a puppy in the winter. Thomas laughed out loud...and it was a genuine laugh? Woah....it was. For Helena's father coming off so scary when he laughed...the atmosphere changed....but in a good way. Bentley not knowing what to do started laughing along with him. "I like you boy...I really do. So my daughter has chosen a fine young man." Said Thomas as he smiled warmly. Bentley smiled his amazing smile and this time it was genuine.

Helena and her mother Elba were off in the kitchen catching up on things they have missed or never talked about. "So....about that Bentley boy....." Trailed off Elba. "Yes, mama I know.....you don't approve of him.....I'm pretty sure daddy don't approve of him eather." Said Helena sadly while looking down at the floor. "Helena....now I never said that! I think he is wonderful....and he sure is a hottie!" Said Elba blushing a bit. "Mama!!! Oh, my! Well....back off he is mine!" Said Helena pushing her mother in a playful way, laughing her girlish laugh. "Oh honey.....don't I know.." Said Elba. Soon everyone was at the table eating. They all talked for a while and then went to bed. Helena kissed her mother and father good night. After her parents went to bed Helena and Bentley stayed up on the sofa by the fire light talking about Helena's peace. "Bentley. ..I'm scared." Confused Helena. "Why?" Asked Bentley. The fire flame reflecting off his face made it seem even more beautiful. "Because. ..what if this whole thing doesn't work out and I die for a second time....I won't be with my family....I won't have you..." Said Helena with tears filling her beautiful green eye's. Bentley cooed to her. "Ssshhhh....everything is going to be okay.....I won't let anything happen to you! You will find peace Helena." Said Bentley with passion. "Thank you....but Bentley. ..can you promise me something?" Asked Helena with doubt. "Well sure anything. " Replied Bentley. "When I am ever in a bind...you will come and save me and be my hero." Said Helena. "What?" Laughed Bentley. "No, I am serious...promise me.." Asked Helena. Bentley was looking into her eye's and how could any man say no to her. It would simply crush his heart and I'm sure....it would do the same to her. "Alright baby...I promise you." Said Bentley smiling. Helena was pleased now. "I must get to bed....nighty night." Helena said while getting up off the couch when Bentley pulled her down. He kissed her forehead, then her nose, then her lips. "Goodnight....I love you Helena." Said Bentley truly. "And goodnight to you...my night in shining armor." Giggled Helena.
