Chapter 4 - What is happening?
Helga's Point Of View
My heart was racing faster than a horse running a marathon. Was this real or just another one of my dreams. I don't remember going to sleep. We inched closer and closer in till our lips met. His lips were so soft as I had longed for this moment.
Since I was a little girl I looked forward to this moment to be real. Our kiss became deeper and deeper in till I suddenly remembered that I had a boyfriend. Why couldn't this had happened any sooner.
I knew I could never love someone like I loved Arnold but I couldn't just go around cheating on Aaron. He didn't deserve that, he deserved someone who was gonna love him and be able to give him their full heart. Mine was already taken and yet the one who held my heart didn't know.
I pulled away from him and instantly felt guilty. He looked the same why I did.
"I'm sorry Helga, I," - Arnold
Then one of the babies started crying and we seemed to have dropped the subject for now. After the babies were fast asleep. We thought it would be best to go to sleep ourselves since the babies would be up again soon.
It felt like I had just shut my eyes when I heard one of the babies crying.
"Ugh this can't be real. I just want to sleep." - Helga
" Its okay Helga I will get them this time, you go back to bed." - Arnold
It was music to my ears. What would I do when Arnold went back home. There was no one to help me out at night. I would have to do it by myself. I started dozing off and was instantly asleep before another thought could cross my mind.
Another two hours later the babies were up and I knew it was my turn but Arnold was already up and feeding one of the babies. Well who was I to stop him so I turned around and shut my eyes.
The next time I heard the babies crying the clock read 3:00am, this was definitely going to be a long night. I got up and started feeding and changing the babies as I laid them both next to me so I could just turn over the next time one cried.
When morning finally came I noticed Arnold on one side of my bed and the babies sleeping in between us. It was like a perfect family picture that I couldn't take. Then the memories of last night came back to me or was it just a dream. Everything was so fuzzy with the baby's crying all night.
I'm pretty sure Arnold will mention it if it wasn't a dream. I didn't want to bring it up if it never happened, then he would know I had been dreaming about him. Yeah, I better wait for him to say something just to be on the safe side.
I walked downstairs to grab something to eat when I could hear Bob arguing with someone on the phone. That is all he seemed to do now a days. We have all these body guard and I feel like I'm not allowed to do anything without someone following me. I knew my dad had some bad business deals in the past but never had enough to need this much security.
Even the house had over 30 cameras from every angle imaginable. The only place there wasn't cameras where the restrooms and my room. Bob had full intentions on putting one up in till I stopped him.
I grabbed a piece of toast, some eggs, and bacon. I even grabbed me some coffee since I was still sleepy. I hope I didn't become this caffeine addict for the next month. As soon as I drank a sip I felt a lot better. I sat at the table eating my breakfast when I started to think how I was going to make this baby situation work.
How would I have survived the night without Arnold helping me. I couldn't just have him over every night or could I? No, I couldn't do that, Aaron would be furious and I don't think Arnold would go for it. I know I need to see how I could do by myself but I was honestly scared. What if we failed because I was so tired I didn't hear the baby crying.
This project was becoming a nightmare. Yeah, I got to spend time with Arnold but something more easier would have been great.
Two weeks later. . .
I shut the door to my locker and there was Arnold holding baby Rose. I had honestly grown attached to them. Arnold was literally over every day and most nights so we could take care of the babies together. We had tried to do it without each other one night and failed miserably so we decided it was best for him to stay with me or for me to stay with him.
Bob didn't like the idea of me being over there so most nights he stayed at my house. Today marked the day that newborn mode went off and the babies wouldn't cry so much. Me and Arnold wouldn't need each others help as much anymore and I hated it.
We never did talk about that kiss if it was really real. It wasn't even awkward or anything which made me believe maybe it was just a dream. Aaron hated all the time I spent with Arnold. He even tried to come over a couple of times when Arnold was there but it didn't work out too well since the babies are real needy.
We started walking to our next class when out of no where I heard bullets going off. I turned around to see everyone running and screaming. People were yelling run they have guys! Screams were coming everywhere and Arnold grabbed my hand. We started running as fast as our feet could let us go.
We made our way down the hall but ended up with a shooter literally right in front of us. I was in shock and couldn't move an inch. All I could see where more bullets flying and blood everywhere. This couldn't be happening. You only read about this kind of stuff, you only see this kind of stuff on the news. This had to be some kind of bad dream.
Arnold grabbed me again as he shoved us into a closet. We were surrounded by men in masked with big rifles. I began to cry and Arnold tried his best to comfort me. He grabbed me and as I rested my head on his shoulders. He let me cry as he held me. I started crying more as I knew this wasn't looking good for us.
"Helga look at me, we are gonna be okay. Me and you we are gonna make it out of here. Shhh they will hear us. You have to calm down." - Arnold
Hearing bullet after bullet. The screams were too much for me. These were my friends that could be potentially getting killed. What would I do if I lost one of them. I started rocking myself back and forth to try and calm myself but it wasn't working.
Arnold's Point Of View
I tried my best to keep my composure as me and Helga hid in a closet in the corner. The sound of bullets was over whelming as I hoped it would be over soon. It began to get quite out in the halls but then I heard a voice.
" Where's the girl?" - Gunman
" I seen her go off this way, spread out we have 2 minutes to find her before the cops show up and the boss isn't gonna be too happy about it." - Gunman
They were looking for a girl, oh god I hope they weren't looking for Helga. They said two minutes. Two minutes should pass by quick I just needed two minutes to pass by and me and Helga would be okay. We had to be okay, I told her we would be fine.
"Shhh, don't say anything." - Arnold
We both remained still for what seemed to be hours. Every sound we heard we both would flinch. They were throwing multi things around and we would still hear gunshots and more screaming. In till the screaming stopped as I assumed the worst. This day had seemed normal. Why did this have to happen?
I didn't understand why someone would go through this much trouble just to kidnap a girl. They had other opportunities to take her why shoot up a school. Then I remembered Helga telling me that the guards followed her everywhere but when she got to school they would give her some space. She said they stayed outside in till school was over but where were they now and why weren't they here protecting her.
These people had to have been following Helga for a while to know that Helga's security didn't come in the building. All of this was leaving me uneasy.
"Did you find her? - Gunman
"No! The boss is gonna be really upset." - Gunman
" Did you check that closet over there?" - Gunman
I could hear someone coming closer and closer to the closet where we were. Then the doorknob turned.
"Yes, I checked everywhere!" - Gunman
It sounded like someone had just released the knob.
I breathed a sound of relief but it was too soon. The door opened and I could see one of the gunman smiling.
"Oh, you checked all the closets huh? I found her and she has the football head kid with her." - Gunman
"Do you think we should kill him or take him too? - Gunman
" Boss, only said to bring the girl." - Gunman
"No, my dad will give you anything you want just don't kill him!" - Helga
"Awww that's so sweet. Sorry girl but orders are orders." - Gunman
"Kill him it is." - Gunman
I could see my life ending soon. They were going to kill me.
"I love you Helga." - Arnold
Then I heard two guns shots and Helga screaming. Things started going black as I could feel myself dying.
