another Hey Arnold one shot
Brave, Caring, Selfless, Hardheaded, Passionate, these are a few things I would use to Describe Helga Pataki but from my own observations, I must say the word that fits her perfectly would be that she is STRONG.
I'm not only talking about Physical strength though she has plenty of that to spare, this child sitting in front of me telling me about her Awful parents and extra Older sister. I know I'm not supposed to Have those thoughts about my patients but that's what I think.
I'm not supposed to gain emotional attachments to my young patients but this strong girl just pulled me in and made me care for her. I know she's likely going to hate me for what I Must do to her but I know that if anyone can pull through what I am about to do it would be her.
I look down at the papers to CPS that I have filled out in my lap next to the notes from my various sessions with Helga. If only her family had kept ignoring her and neglecting her this wouldn't be happening, I wouldn't be forced to do this.
Not that Neglect is a good thing mind you but the alternative is worse.
But Helga...Brave STRONG Helga this, this won't break her it cant break her; she'll come out of this stronger than ever. Her family though… They can't break her either she's too strong for them as well. What they are doing is Killing her!
I look over at the young blond in my office as she comes to the climax of her tale, and zones in on the dark purple bruise in the shape of a hand around her much to thin neck one of her beautiful blue eyes was swollen shut and the size of a golf ball, four stitches graced her lips from were it was split open and stitched back together. This is what her family has done to her.
Helga's hands were covered with medical tape as well because as much as she took from her family she gave back in full. She had 3 broken fingers on one hand and 2 on the other with her knuckles being bruised.
She could never just sit still and talk she always had to get up and express her self through movement, it is one of the things I love about her. With her movement, it was easy to see that she had a hurt leg at some point judging by her limp.
Their time has been up for the last 20 min but I don't want the girl I see as my own to go back to that place for even another minute. I glance at the preapproved foster papers on my desk with a sad smile hopefully I will get what I want without someone claiming conflict of interest
A loud bang vibrates the room startling my self and Helga we turn to see Robert Pataki storm into the room with a broken nose and a black eye. That's my strong girl giving it back to him with his appearance and watching him grab her arm and drag her out of the building despite my own protests
My resolve is stolen now this strong girl will grow if I have anything to say about it or my name isn't Dr. Jennifer Bliss
