Love is All She Needs...
A/N: Yep.. my first HA! story EVER to be written. Yesh, so, chapter one is pretty long.. so just skim through it. Unless you WANT to read every little word. Be my guest. o0;
Chapter one: Give her a Chance
"I just don't get it, Helga. If you are in love with the guy that much, then why the heck won't you just tell him?"
Helga sighed. "Ashlyn, do you know how big of a secret this is? I mean, Arnold sees me as this big bully who will never let people alone, so even if I DID tell him, what good would it do?"
I shook my head. "Helga, Helga, Helga. He knows you aren't this bad. So, if you told him--"
I was interuppted by the sound of Arnold's voice. "Told me what?" He asked, looking at me first, and then at Helga, as she froze and had a look of fear in her eyes.
"That uhm.. that you... ARE A STUPID FOOTBALL HEADED TWIRP WITH NO SENSE OF REALITY!" And with that, she stormed off.
He sighed. "I don't get it Ashlyn. Why does she always treat me like this? I'm just SICK of it. I can't take it any longer!"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"It means I'm through trying to be nice to her! I know she has a tough life, but to take it out on others who are actually nice to you is a sin! And I hate her..."
I gulped. Now what is Helga going to plan on doing? Jump off the Empire State building? "Well... maybe she has a reason for being mean and nasty to you. Maybe there is something about her you don't know."
"I know everything about her, Ashlyn!" He screamed. "I know she is a cold-hearted bully with no feelings!"
"She DOES have feelings!" I yelled back, showing my agressive side. "You are the one who is cold-hearted if you can't see that she goes through a tought time! No one loves her Arnold. And I thought YOU understood. Considering the fact that you used to be some loyal friend everyone looked up to, but I guess I was wrong." And I took off... leaving him in the dark alone and cold. Maybe I shouldn't have done that...
Wait... yes indeed I should've! Helga's my friend... and I couldn't be friends with someone who hated her guts and wished she would die! Okay.. I'm scaring myself.
The next day at school, I saw Helga crying in the corner of the hallway. That didn't surprise me. Arnold probably had her heartbroken since this morning.
"A-Ashlyn?" Helga looked up at me with a look of fear in her eyes. "What do you want from me?"
I decided to act like I didn't know what was wrong. That way I wouldn't get yelled at and kicked because I didn't tell her the truth in the first place. "What's wrong? You look like a person who just thought they won the lottery but it was a joke!"
She sigjed, and looked down and the floor. "Arnold hates me, Ashlyn. And he told me that if I died, he wouldn't care, and would be happy."
"What a jerk." I grumbled. All right, yeah, I knew he hated her. But if he said that last part to her, well, then, he's going to get it. "Where is he?"
"How am I to know? He stormed out of the school as soon as he yelled at me."
I raised an eyebrow. "Don't tell anyone." I whispered, and quietly tip-toed out of the building, and down the street to find Arnold. Sitting there with his head buried in his legs. Hmph... why is HE so upset now?"
"Yo, Arnold! Why are you crying?" I called, and walked over to him.
"Ashlyn... I'm worried. I mean.. I didn't mean what I said to Helga. That I wouldn't care if she died. And now, I heard her say she was going to commit suicide. ASHLYN! I can't lose her! As much as I don't like her--"
"Quit your rambling!" I snapped. "You know, if you are that concerned about her... why don't you give the one who loves you--"
"LOVE?"
"Ja... you heard me. So.. give the one who loves you another chance. Please, for all our sakes." And with that, I walked away, shaking my head in disbelief in what I just told them.
I turned around to see Arnold...passed out on the hot-cemented ground.
A/N: Hmm... a little bit of mystery there, eh? So... in the next chapter, you'll see what happens between Helga and Arnold... or... if Arnold is even alive from that little incident. o0
