Author's note: This one is a tad darker than my usual. In a nutshell, Heather submits to some non-consensual sex to save her lesbian lover from a worse fate.

This story cements a connection between my "Hero's Life" series and my one-off "Strawberries & Bubblegum" story. I have a near-neurotic need to fit puzzle pieces together like this. Where do you think I got the idea for Heather's connect-the-dots character?
Here, Heather's do-gooder instincts reach their peak. We also see how and why Heather and Stacey break up in spite of the deep and meaningful connection they made in "Strawberries & Bubblegum."
Samantha, Heather's current lesbian lover - a girl who is a sweet, sexy, and dangerous combination of "tough as nails" and gentle big sister - tells Heather's story on her behalf.
Yes, everyone in the story is at least 18 years-old, etc.
~~~ Saving Berry ~~~
Let's get something straight from the beginning, Heather was definitely not gunning for martyr status. She just did the best she could. The trouble is, it was a little
too
good and Heather lost Stacey, her beautiful little "Berry", because of it.
Stacey ended up leaving her based on a crappy mix of shame, fear, stupidity, loneliness, lust, love, and an inability to cope with Heather's unbelievable sacrifice.
Heather claims that she is over it now and that everything happens for a reason. I am sure her little connect-the-dots brain has worked out the various causes and effects. And maybe she is right. Maybe this will be even better in the long run.
But, between you and me, I can't believe she doesn't wonder what could have been. I would. Then again, I would have broken a few of the fucker's limbs instead of doing what Heather did. But, hey, that's just me.
I'll jump right to the shitty part - the part where Stacey told Heather it was over between them through Stacey's bathroom door. We can work backwards from there.
"Stace, it's just me. Open the door?"
"I can't... just please... go away..."
"Stacey, it's okay. It's over. Your step-brother just left. I'm all right and you're all right. The important thing is nobody got hurt. Please let me in?"
"I can't... I can't let you see me like this... I can't believe what you saw Glenn and I doing... And I can't believe what you did... and that you did it for me... please just... just go away and leave me alone... I'm so ashamed I can't even look at myself... or you... Oh god, I just want to die..."
"It's not your fault honey, it's his fault. He's the asshole here."
"You don't understand. It really is my fault. I... I started it with him. I was so lonely before you. And he was so depressed. He was sweet and gentle the first few times we did things together. But he turned so mean. I told him it was over and that's when he moved out. I never wanted you to know. I never wanted anyone to know."
"I don't care about any of that, Berry. You know I don't judge people. This doesn't change how I feel about you."
"Heather, I hate myself. How can I love someone else with this much hate inside me? Just go... just go and be with somebody normal. Somebody who deserves you."
"But I still love you, Berry."
"...Heather... don't call me that... just go... please? Just go."
So Heather went. She pulled on her clothes. She picked up her book bag and she went home. And she cried. For months.
Here's what led up to that point.
Stacey spent a lot of time at Heather's house. It wasn't just because they were teammates, then best friends, then friends with small benefits, then full-on lesbian lovers. It was also because Stacey's house sucked. Or, rather, her family did.
Her dad was a great guy but he was never home. He had to travel a lot for work. And her stepmother was a drinker, which might have been cool if she was a happy drunk and had let the girls join in now and again. But she was an ugly drunk. She pretty much followed her stepdaughter around the house with a cocktail and pointed out her shortcomings. Her mom didn't work and she didn't have any real hobbies so she specialized in being mean to the people around her.
Stacey also had an older stepbrother and he pretty much scared the shit out of Heather. First off, he was huge; more than 6 feet and over 225 lbs of muscle. That wasn't the worst part - he looked at Heather in a way that made her swear he thought she was some kind of
food
.
His looks weren't the lusty leers Heather had been getting from men since she hit puberty that were some variation of "Wow, I'd love to see her naughty bits."
No, Glenn's looks were more sinister. They said, "I wonder if she'd be better with soy sauce or ketchup?"
Thank god he didn't live at home with Stacey anymore. He had moved into an apartment with some friends a few months ago. Heather had bumped into him just three times at Stacey's house and that was enough.
The day things blew up, Stacey's dad was away on a business trip. Not unusual. The difference was Stacey's mom was away too. She'd decided, on a whim, to fly to Florida to visit girlfriends. Stacey was home all alone.
Heather was going to surprise her by dropping by and staying the night. She threw some stuff in a backpack and drove over to keep Stacey company - hopefully,
sexy
company. With the house empty, they could spend the night exhausting themselves in the sweet, sweaty girl-girl sex they had both quickly become addicted to. So Heather was practically vibrating with anticipation as she drove to Stacey's house.
Heather is a smart girl. If only she hadn't been thinking "sexsexsexsexsex" as she slipped in the front door. She would have realized something was not right right from the start. For starters, speed metal was blaring. Stacey was more of a rhythm and blues girl. But Heather was so excited about the prospect of surprising Stacey that she thought more about how well the music covered the sound of her coming in the house and bounding up the stairs.
Carrying her little backpack, Heather headed up towards Stacey's room. She never got there. At the top of the stairs she heard noises that made her stop and turn towards Glenn's old bedroom instead.
The noises were... not good. Glenn's door was open and she could hear grunting and mewling sounds coming down the hallway. She walked quietly down the hall and slowly peeked around the doorjamb.
Glenn was there and he was standing in front of his bed. His enormous V-shaped back was to her. He was even bigger than when she saw him last. She got the distinct impression he'd started taking steroids. There was another 25 pounds of muscle on him. He was shirtless and his jeans were bunched down around his knees. His muscular ass flexed as he humped forward and back.
Stacey was laying on his bed but Heather could not see her face because it was behind Glenn's pumping ass. Stacey was stretched out on her side with her feet running up towards the head of the bed. She was wearing her favorite old gray, long sleeved t-shirt that fell almost to her knees. And nothing else. Her smooth, ivory legs were bare. Her large bra-less breasts were rocking under the gray shirt. Heather could see Stacey's long, loose auburn hair shifting on the bed too.
Most importantly, by the sounds of things, Stacey had her stepbrother's dick in her mouth.
There was a lot of slurping.
Heather should have run. She really should have run away. But her feet wouldn't listen. She was rooted to the spot and she watched them. The more she watched the less mutual things were looking. Stacey wasn't blowing her stepbrother. He was fucking her face and grunting savagely while doing it. Stacey sniffled and mewled each time her brother sank himself too far into her mouth.
Then he shoved way too hard during one thrust. Stacey sputtered and choked forcefully enough that he pulled out of her mouth. She coughed violently. "Do you like this Glenn? Do you like using my mouth? Shoving your dick down your poor defenseless little stepsister's throat?"
"Shut up," he grunted. He reached a big hand down her body to cup and squeeze one of the large, firm breasts that shifted under the thin cotton of her t-shirt.
Stacey winced at his groping but kept talking. "You don't have to do this you know. I didn't know you were coming home. I would have put more clothes on if I knew you would be here. I didn't mean to tease you. Honest. I know not to tease you anymore."
"That's right," he grunted again. "Because what do teases get?" His hand slid down, away from her breast, and around to her backside. He drew it back and smacked her sharply on her ass. It made a huge cracking sound that made Heather jump.
Stacey jerked. "Ow!"
"I said 'what do teases get?'"
Stacey sighed. "Fucked," she said in a small voice, "Teases get fucked."
"That's right. Maybe I should really teach you a lesson. Maybe I should use your little virgin cunt. Take your precious cherry right now."
"No! Please! I... I didn't mean to tease. I didn't know. Mom didn't tell me were coming home to watch me." There was a long pause. "You can... you can come in my mouth this time if you want."
"Nice try," Glenn snickered darkly. "I think it's going to take a little more than that."
He twisted a hand into her hair and pushed her farther back onto the bed and flipped her onto her stomach. She tried to roll away but he pressed her down face-first into the bed as he kicked off his jeans and laid down on top of her. The only thing separating their nude bodies was the thin gray cotton of Stacey's old t-shirt that had now ridden up to the mid-thigh on her sleek porcelain legs.
Glenn humped down into her. "I think I want
this
. You remember don't you? Why don't you let me take your ass again? It was so good that time."
"No! You were too rough, Glenn. My butt was sore for days afterwards. I'm little back there and you're big. You did it way too hard. Come on, I'll suck on you real nice. Just let me up?"
"No! I'm tired of that. I feel like some fucking right now. I'll be reasonable," he chuckled darkly, "I'll even let you pick which hole." He ground himself into her from behind again and reached for the bottom hem of her t-shirt.
