PS118- inside
Helga took a final swing and threw the axe
on the floor, while Arnold climbed out. Helga took a good look at him, his blue
hat that normally sat in between is hair was gone, other than that he just
looked tired.
"Helga I think we should get out of here…"
"Okay Football head lets go" They started
to run to the stairs when they saw that the flames where rapidly climbing up
the stairs.
"The fire escape" They both yelled. Helga
turned back around and started to run.
"Not so fast…" Helga stopped as she heard
the menacing voice she turned back around and gasped. There was a clocked man (a
mask covering his face) pulling back Arnold with a knife near his neck.
"Helga… go get out of here" Arnold gasped
"No Arnold… I'm not leaving you…"
"Why don't you just tell him Helga?" The
voice asked. Helga's heart nearly stopped.
"Who are you?"
"Why Helga… I'm surprised at you, mind you
I'm not wheezing a lot." Suddenly Helga realized who he was.
"Brainy why?"
"Simple I love you Helga I always
have. Haven't you always wondered why I was always there when you talked
about him? Why you always punched me in the face after I snuck up on you?"
"But why this?" Helga waved her arms around
it, she saw the flames getting closer and closer.
"I wanted to make him pay, so I planned
this. Nobody would have noticed that I wasn't in class today. So I waited by
the door until Arnold here had to go out of the classroom then I pushed him
into the closet and set the school on fire…"
"Well Arnold remember Cecile? And the pink
book?" Brainy asked
"Yea but what does this have to do with… it
was Helga?" Helga nodded as realisation formed on Arnolds face.
"Yes it was Helga. Now you see why I'm
doing this? Helga loved YOU not me so I had to get rid of you, and then she
would be free to love me."
"Brainy I could never love you. Even if
Arnold was dead I would never love anyone else." Helga exploded.
"You wouldn't?" Brainy and Arnold asked at
the same time.
"No I wouldn't" Brainy then let go of
Arnold, accidentally cutting him on the shoulder with the knife.
"Then my life isn't worth living. Goodbye
Helga…" Brainy then stabbed himself in the heart making him fall down as Helga
watched on in horror.
"Helga we have to go…" She nodded as the
both ran towards the fire escape and getting out just in time.
PS118- out side
"Short man you okay?" Grandpa asked as
everyone crowed around himself and Helga. He nodded and then started coughing
as Helga did the same thing. He then felt himself go dizzy and blank out.
At
the Hospital
Arnold blinked a couple of times and looked
around the room. He could tell where he was as hospitals have that certain
smell of cleanness in the air. He saw Helga sitting next to his bed asleep. He
felt a bandage on his arm and remembered the fire Darn I thought it was all
a weird dream… he thought to himself. Helga's eyes opened then and when she
saw he was awake her face went into a wide smile.
"Helga… Why am I here?
"You've been unconscious for the past 2
days worrying everyone half to death football head. You apparently lost a lot
of blood when brainy accidentally cut you…"
"Do they know?"
"They know that Brainy caused the fire…
they don't know why though…" Suddenly Arnold smiled
"I guess you want your stuff back…"
"I wouldn't mind the shoe, you can keep the
book I guess." Arnold's face went serious again.
"Helga I want to tell you something"
"Arnold if you never want to see me again
I'll understand"
"Never want to see me again? Now why would
I want that?"
"Because of what happened back there…"
"Helga you saved my life… Twice…"
"But I caused the whole thing in the first
place…"
"Look I know I can be dense, I mean I
realize everything now… but now you're the one being dense…"
"What are you trying to say?" Helga's heart
started pounding.
"I fell in love with the girl who pretended
to be Cecile… and seeing as you where Cecile I fell in love with you didn't I?"
Helga nodded not trusting her voice. Arnold then lent up and kissed her gently
on the lips.
He loves me! He really loves me! Helga thought to herself. Arnold started laughing.
"Arnold why are you laughing?"
"I just remembered something Grandpa said
once about you teasing the one you love…" Arnold pulled Helga into another
kiss, but this time it was interrupted, by someone coughing. Helga and Arnold
both pulled apart and blushed.
"Gerald!"
"Hey man glad to see you're finally awake"
"Yeah well… Hey I have a question for the
both of you, how did you get past the nurses?"
"Pretended you where my brother" Helga said
sheepishly
"Snuck past" Gerald said just as
sheepishly. Arnold smiled.
"Anyway visiting hours are nearly on so I
thought I'll drop by early to see if you where awake…" Suddenly a group of
people came in
"Hey Short man glad to see you awake."
"Howdy Texan"
"Arnold your okay!"
"Arnold you're a very special person"
Arnold looked around the room everyone he
knew was their including
"Dino?"
"Been worried about you buddy…" Suddenly
Arnold thought about something.
"Guys what's going to happen to the
school?" Mr Simmons cleared his throat causing the room to go silent as they to
where wondering about it.
"The school bored is deciding whether or
not to rebuild it, but at the moment seeing as we only have two weeks till
summer vacation you guys have an extended holidays." The room filled with
cheers as their minds registered the news. Secretly Arnold was worried. What
if they didn't rebuild the school? What if they all got split up? What if he
and Helga got sent to different schools?
The end?
