I Lost You

It was a very quite day at the boarding house…and very lonely. All of the boarders left for the evening either to spend time with family or with friends. But the owner of the house decided to stay cooped up in there…alone, Gerald had came by that evening wanting Arnold to get out of the house. Though Arnold made up an excuse saying that he really wanted to take of some things and with that reply Gerald left. Gerald was no idiot he knew the real reason why Arnold wanted to be alone and it pain him to see his buddy hurting even if his not showing it.

Today was the anniversary that Helga had gotten married, and the day she had left.

Arnold slouch all the way upstairs to his room, where he would lay and regret everything that happen and the things he should have done all those years ago. When he was about to seep into his bed when he caught a glimpse of her, in a very old picture back to when they where in the fourth grade. She had her arms around him smiling as if she was the happiest she's ever been in her miserable life. He smiled remembering that day; it was their first date together.

Remembering her soft voice..."Hey Arnold!?"

*Flashback*

"Hey Arnold... Arnold…FOOTBALL HEAD!?"

"Wha- Oh I'm sorry Helga I was-…Just …you look really beautiful Helga." He stuttered his face completely red beat.

Helga was flush and just stared at the ground "Oh umm t-thanks Footba- Arnold"

He smiled, he loved how she blush when she was nervous. He offered his hand to her.

"Shall we mademoiselle" he kiss her hand

She smiled face flush again.

"That ride was awesome!" she shouted "let's go again"

"Hehehe maybe later Helga" he sighed "I'm beat"

Arnold looked to her and smiled.

Oblivious to his stare, she was looking for the next ride for them to get on.

He continued to gaze at her till his eye caught sight a boy taking pictures of the people that went by. A sound binged into his head, and as if she could have heard it she turned and stared back at him.

"What?"

He pointed behind her. She turned to the direction he was pointing to and saw the boy holding the camera.

"You know Helga…pictures DO last forever."

She turned and smiled.

"I had a wonderful time Arnold"

"So did I Helga"

They both leaned in into each other.

*Flashback End*

A tear fell from his cheek down to the glass that separated it and the picture. The memory tortured him on what he ounce had, her smile, holding her hand, kissing her, being with her, he gave all that up. For what on something that didn't even last!

Now…now he could never have that again.

Now he knew that he could never have her again. He had his chance with her and he destroyed it with cruelty. But now he was far from late, far from ever having a chance.

Now she had a husband…and a child.

"…why did I had lose you"
