Aurthor notes - This is not the sequel to daddy troubles. I do plan on writing the sequel but wanted to start off writing something new and maybe a sequel to this too. Ideas, suggestions, or anything else is always welcomed. I don't have no idea how this will end so you never know what will happen. I do know that this story is going to be long so if you don't like stories that drag on this story might not be for you. Thanks for reading my first chapter and if you want you can go check out my other fan fiction Daddy Troubles which is complete.

Summary - When you think that crazy stuff like this can never happen to you but your living your worst nightmare. Helga and Arnold now sit in a closet hearing multiple gunshots. When the closet door opens nobody is ready for what is about to happen.

Chapter One - Reminiscing

Helga's Point of view

Tomorrow is the first day of high school, where had the time gone. Of course things had changed since elemetary school. Actually everything pretty much changed right after the whole save the neighborhood thing.

I didn't seem to hold so much anger, no longer felt the need to be the school bully. I had pretty much did a full 360 with my life. My home life was even a lot better. Miriam had stopped drinking and found a good part time job as a teacher assistant.

Big Bob's business had taken off which made him in a much better mood. He had even started calling me by my name and not Olga's. We moved across town to a much bigger house with a maid, cook, and even a driver. It took me by surprise when they announced to me and Olga that they were having another baby.

What took the cake though was that my mom gave birth to another little girl. Bob acted like he was fine with it but I could tell he had really wanted a son. They named my little sister Sophie. Yea, I know their selection in a name took me by surprise too. She was now almost 3 and would start preschool soon too.

As far as school goes I found myself at the top of the class right underneath my best friend Phoebe. The whole dating scene didn't come easy for me like school did though. Yes, I didn't have my unibrow anymore but I wasn't exactly the best looking girl. I was slimmer than your average girl and didn't have much curve to me.

I started working out this summer to try and give myself more shape which actually worked. I ran three times a day and did my usual workouts in between. I had so much drive in me to finally get Arnold to notice me as more than a friend.

Me and Arnold had become pretty close but I could say that I was stuck in the friend zone and it sucked. He would tell me everything and of course I played along like I was all gun ho about his new crushes or who he was dating.

We had pretty much buried the hatchet on everything that happened on top of the FTI building. I didn't have any regrets about the whole thing because after all me and Arnold were really good friends since then. My love for him had never died if any thing it only became worse.

My obsession for him was the same. I found myself always wanting to be around him, always looking for a reason to talk to him. It became more easy to talk to him, to open up to him, to let him inside. I must say I would space myself from him when he found himself a girlfriend. It wasn't too often but it was enough to drive me crazy.

His last relationship had lasted a whole 6 months with the wonderful Lila. I had seen the day coming and after a week of him talking about her all the time I had decided it was time to find a hobby. Some kind of excuse to give to Arnold just so I didn't have to hang out with him and hear how perfect she was.

So I took extra classes in school and I even joined the girls softball team. We were pretty decent but our team didnt go any further than regular season. I played short stop and was known for my home runs. It made ditching Arnold a whole lot easier. Even though when he showed up at all my games I couldn't help but smile.

I still couldnt believe he was dating Lila. So I have to admit she was perfect but not for him. She didn't know him like I did, she would never understand him like I did. She didn't get his crazy family like I did. I woke up every day hoping they would break up. Hoping that he would get bored with her, hoping that she would get tired of him or find someone new.

What did she want with my Arnold anyways, she had never wanted to be with him and out of no where she was all the sudden in love with him. Give me a break, I could see right threw her and knew she was up to no good. I just couldn't go up to Arnold and tell him this though. I had to act like I was happy for him. I gave my fakest smile and congratulated him while wishing him the best when he told me the news.

The day he came to school with the saddest face I had ever seen him have my heart nearly broke. I should have knocked out Lila for breaking his heart the way she did. She broke up with him the second she found out his cousin Arnie was back in town. It was a bitter sweet moment. Their relationship was finally over but I hated seeing him so gloomy.

It seemed like it took him months to get over her. He had barely started acting like his normal self again. My Arnold was finally coming around when summer came and I had chosen to go to camp.

Camp lasted all of summer and I loved it. We wrote each other back and forth all summer. He wrote me more than Phoebe did. I couldn't wait to see him but school was only a week away when I got home from camp. There was so much to do before school started and I wanted to look my absolute best when Arnold finally did see me.

Now here we are the day before school and I couldn't sleep to save my life. I got my home room teacher in the mail and it was the same as Arnold so this didn't help any as I knew I would see him in a few hours.

Arnold's Point Of View

Why couldn't I just pick a shirt for me to wear tomorrow. I had been through my whole closet twice and still couldn't find anything. I never had this problem before what had changed this year.

I hadn't seen Lila all summer and I knew we had the same home room together. Gerald had asked Mr. Fuzzy Slippers to get a list of everyone in our home room and bam there was her name. I don't know why I still care. I shouldn't care not after what she did to me last year.

I thought everything was going perfect between us and then out of no where my cousin shows up and she breaks up with me. I remember that the day like it was yesterday.

She came over after school so we could help each other out on our homework. When we heard a knock on the door, I got up to go answer it and in comes Arnie. We all chatted for a while then Arnie left downstairs to go get settled in. Then she tells me that we aren't working out anymore and goes down stairs with Arnie.

You would think she would have went home after that but no she stayed for dinner and held on to Arnie through the whole thing. I couldn't bare to watch anymore so I left mid way during dinner. My grandparents understood and didn't disagree either. They were never too fond over her but I never knew why not.

That was the worst day of my life. I had finally been given a chance with her and then she goes and dumps me for my cousin and acts like I never meant anything to her. She acted as if we weren't dating for the past 6 months.

The next day at school was just as bad. I got stares all day as the gossip started spreading about our break up. I tried to put on a good face but could tell I was failing miserably. It wasn't every day that someone comes and rips out your heart and stomps on it right in front of you.

I think the worst part of it was the " I told you so," I got from Gerald. He had told me day one that she was playing with my heart and I should end things before I got hurt. I could even tell that Helga wasn't a fan of our relationship either but she never voiced her opinion out loud. She would just find other things to do then hang out with me. I knew I did tend to ramble on and on about how cute Lila would look and how she would say the nicest things but these were my friends. Why couldn't they just be happy for me.

It took me about two months to finally be able to go through the whole day without thinking of her. Without getting depressed that we weren't together. Summer was in full swing by the time I had fully moved on. Summer was pretty boring without Helga being around. She went to camp and I wrote her a lot since their wasn't much to do around here anyways.

I had intentions on seeing her when she got back but lost track of time with school approaching. I knew I would just catch up with her in school since we also shared our home room teacher together.

It was now 2 in the morning and I couldn't sleep a wink. I had to get some kind of sleep, I didn't want to look like a walking zombie on my first day of high school. After all I wanted to show Lila what she was missing out on. I had changed over the summer. I had toned out a lot and even though I didn't have a 6 pack or anything you could still tell the difference.

After tossing and turning all night I was finally able to get some sleep. I was turning over in my bed when I realized I had gotten too much sleep. The clock read 7:25, and the first bell rang at 7:45. Ugh, I can't believe this happening on my first day. I hurried up and put on the royal blue shirt and blue jeans I had laid out the day before.

I scrambled for the front the door when my grandpa stopped me and asked me if I wanted a ride. Thankfully I had just walked in the front door when I heard the bell go off and by this time everyone was already in their home room class.

My phone had been going off since this morning from Gerald asking me where I was at. I had no time to reply back to him while trying to avoid being late on my first day of school. I walked into my first class out of breath and everyone was staring at me as I knew I looked like a complete mess.

I took my seat next to Gerald with no time to talk to anyone as the teacher walked in. She started handing out our schedules for the school year as everyone started sharing with each other their schedules. I found out that me and Gerald had pretty much all classes together but one. When all the sudden I could hear a familiar voice behind me when I turned around and seen Helga I was blown away. There was no way this was the same girl that left only a few months ago.

Author's Notes - Tada there goes my first chapter as I hoped you enjoyed catching up on their lives. To me first chapters are always a little boring since it kinda just talks about what has happened in their life since elementary . I also forgot to mention that this story will be rated M for adult language, violent crimes, and sexual content. So just the heads up. Write a review and let me know what you think. Thanks
