As soon as Helga knew that Arnold had turned around to go who knows where she regretted telling him to leave. She needed him right now. He was the one person who actually cared about her.

'Yeah, because he has to because you carrying his baby!' she screamed at herself in her head. 'No, Arnold and me have been close for awhile now, he cares about me….Doesn't he?'

Helga just didn't know anymore. Bob had gotten into her head once again but she just couldn't seem to shake the feeling that Arnold only cared about the baby. The thought was so depressing because this baby ment everything to her now. I mean, she was carrying Arnold's baby! A piece of Arnold. A miracle left over from there night together. She smiled slightly. She would just have to be the best mom ever. And she would make damn sure she would be!

Arnold watched Helga walk away and turned around feeling terrible. He was so angry at Bob for saying such hateful things to her. How could Bob not see her. How could he not see how beautiful and nice, and caring and honest and hopeful she was. And how all she wanted was to be loved. He sighed. He had wanted to tell her for so long now that he was in love with her, but so desperately didn't want to ruin the friendship if she didn't feel the same way. He loved her so completely though. He hoped that she at least knew he cared. He would have to prove it to her to make sure. He would start at school tomorrow. He wouldn't leave her side. They still had awhile before anyone would know at school so he had lots of time to show her this without everyone scrutinizing them. Yes, that's what he would do.

'Don't worry Helga, I'm going to be right there. I will always be right here!'

THE NEXT DAY AT SCHOOL

Helga had gotten back to Arnold's the night before quickly ran to her room and stayed there all night. Her room was right below Arnold's and she heard him come home shortly after pausing at her door for a moment and then continuing to his room. His grandpa had come by shortly after and slipped a note under her door, letting her know that there was a plate of food outside of her door when she got hungry. She opened the door to a covered plate and ate whatever was on it not even stopping to really see what it was then deposited the empty dishes outside the door again, with a thank you note attached. She had fallen asleep shortly after.

She had left early this morning to do some running before school, and maybe to avoid Arnold a little bit. She didn't know why but after everything her dad said she felt like she was being a bother to Arnold, and just wasting his time. She should leave him alone to carry on his life still, even if they were having a baby together.

She stretched quickly as usual, flashbacks of doing this not to long ago after Bob had hit her played in her mind.

She started to jog. She didn't want to overdue it because of the baby. She knew she had to be careful but as she ran she started to forget about that part. All she could hear was Bob's words repeating in her head.

'whore…..couldn't keep your legs closed….no body's ever going to want you…waste of skin…' Tears started to run down her cheeks and she pushed harder. Her breath becoming shallow

'No one cared not even Arnold. The only reason he hadn't run screaming to the hills was because he was a responsible young man, and he would take care of his baby.

It was like a lightening bolt had hit her she remembered the baby and she was full out running, breath short, lungs burning she needed to slow down. She started to too, but she hit a dip in the path and launched herself forward. She was falling face first towards the ground, she didn't have time to protect herself she just instantly cradled her stomach in order to take any impact away from the baby. She waited for the pain.

Nothing came though. She realized she was hovering a couple feet above the ground. Two strong arms had caught her upper arms and were now lifting her to her feet. Once she was steadily on them again, she tried to step back but the arms wrapped around her waist and pulled her close.

"Helga look at me!"

The voice was trembling with slight anger, like he was trying not to lose control.

She slowly looked up into Arnold's eyes. She knew it would be him, who else would it be, it was always him.

"Helga, what do you think you were doing. You could of hurt yourself."

Helga smiled slightly. Maybe he did care.

"Not to mention the fact that you could of hurt our baby." He was yelling now slightly.

Helga's face dropped. There it was, the real reason he was here. Her bottom lip trembled and she tried to rip out of his embrace but he held tight.

"Just let me go Arnold, don't waste your breath, I'm not worth it. I'll make sure nothing happens to your baby though, you can leave now.

Arnold looked down at her and instantly his face softened and he frowned.

"That's not what I ment Helga. I'm worried about that but you could of really hurt yourself there. You would have ran your face right into this gravel and really hurt yourself. And don't say that you're a waste. You dad is obviously blind if he thinks that."

Helga looked up at him. He grabbed her chin then.

"Helga, don't listen to him. I know you wouldn't talk to me yesterday but I truly hope you don't believe him. You are not a waste, you are not any of those things he called you. And there are plenty of people who love and care about you, Gerald does, Phoebe does….I do." He drifted off.

Helga just kept staring at him. Did he mean love as a friend? Of course he did….

"Helga…." He still had her face in his hand and he smiled down at her now.

"I don't mean as just a friend…." He slowly leaned down then waited for signs of hesitation from her. She was still just staring.

'Was this really happening? Did Arnold just admit he had feelings for her? Was he about to….kiss her?'

He saw that she was smiling slightly and he decended his lips to hers and kissed her softly.

Helga's mind was spinning. 'What is happening? I'm kissing Arnold! He's kissing me!'

She was loving every second of it and she brought her arms up to wrap around Arnolds neck and continued to kiss him back.
