I have come back from the dead. I know, I know it's been a WHILE since I have posted anything on this story. At first I was just going to trash it, but I know how much you all like the story so I'm going to continue. I'm pulling an all-nighter for this one chapter. Need to get back in the swing of writing fan fiction. Thanks for being so very patient with me. I hope you like it, I know it won't be my best but it will get better. More Drama I promise :)

The night was cold and unforgiving. The trees make creaking sounds and the wind blew past its branches. The moon was over casted by dark and ominous clouds. The street lights flickered on and off and Arnold and Helga shuffled off to his house. Both, in a numb state. Recollecting about the events before.

'How could my dad do this to me. To us. Our family. He drove us all away by is compulsive need to be a man. Drinking and the 'late' nights at the beeper emporium. Everyone knew what he was really but to. No one really buys beepers at 10:30 at night. Just….why?'

Helga mind was screaming at her. She felt like she shouldn't have told Phoebe. She should have just left it alone, none of this would have happened if she just kept he nosey ass out of it.

'I hate her. Why did she have to go and tell him? Now my dad is on the war path and nothing can stop him and it's all her fault'

She really didn't feel that way about her best friend, she was just confused and doesn't know where to turn to talk to since her mother was out of the picture now.

Arnold held on to Helga's hand as if it would disappear if he let go.

'It so clear now. I understand why she is so mean, but why couldn't she just tell me she was hurting. I would have come to help, if she just asked.' Arnold thought to himself as the reached the front door of the boarding house.

"Wait here" Arnold said as he walked into the kitchen, where his grandparents were seated.

" Hey short man, where have you been? Its 9:30" his grandfather questioned. Arnold wanted to tell him all the happen so he could get help, but something just held him back.

" I was at the park and just lost track of time, sorry grandpa" Arnold looked to the hallway where Helga was, " Is it okay if I have friend stay the night?"

" I don't see why not" Grandpa said with a smile.

" Just don't get too close, if you know what I mean" his grandmother replied with a deep glare.

" What do you mean pookie?" She just smiled

" He knows what I mean. Well clean up and I will send up supper" Arnold ran and hugged his grandparents before walking quickly in the hallway where Helga was.

" Follow me" As he lead her up to his room.

Big Bob Living room

Bob just sat there on his chair showing a blank expressing. His world was slipping away and he was determined to get it back. He rose very slowly; stumbling over the beer bottles he had strewed everywhere.

' She thinks she can just take off with some man and I not find out about it. Well Miriam, you have another thing coming.' Big Bob yelled to himself as he stumbled into the kitchen. He opened the fridge for another beer so see there wasn't any, which in turn mad him even madder. He stormed back into the living room, smashing everything in he path. He slowly slid down to the ground and cried,

' I was the perfect father taking in all the children's flaws. I was the perfect husband, I control my house hold and everyone in it did as I said. And now what, My wife left me and my daughter ran off with some boy….." Big Bob stood again, ' I will be the only man in their lives, mark my word'
