Chapter three: Painful memories.

SLAM!!!!

Helga slammed the door to her cottage, down by the ocean, her favourite place. " Helga, you stupid, stupid fool!! " she was sobbing hysterically. " You just made a fool of yourself! Why did u tell him that?! He's going out with Leila, I should've known. She was so much more beautiful than me, why was I so ignorant? Why did I tell him how I felt! "

She cried for and hour of so, before standing up and opening the door. The first thing she felt, was a warm, tropical smelling breeze. She took off her sandals, and walked in the sand, while watching her feet sink in and out of it. She wiggled her toes and took in some of that fresh, warm air, she felt so alive and refreshed. she walked all over the beach, which was her own, isolated property. No one ever came there. And she was happy with that. She climbed onto a rock, close to a nearby tree. From there, she climbed all the way up, up, up.....till she reached her favourite spot. The tree was extremely high off the ground. That was okay, because she loved heights. The leaves and the beautiful yellow flowers blew slightly in the breeze. She let her hair loose, and it too, became wild, like the wind. She picked a flower off the tree, and played with its petals. She was so high of the ground, lying on huge branches. There was an amazing view of the ocean from where she was sitting, as she watched the sun set, its beautiful colours, like a painting. Helga felt very emotional. Helga often climbed this tree, for it was her Thinking Spot. She loved it. " I could stay up here forever, away from that cruel world. " she thought, and let her thoughts take over. She watched the ocean breeze, move the waves, as if mocking her. Slowly, but steadily, she was claimed, by sleep.

" Jim, I don't care if the meeting is today! I have lots of things to do! Just tell him I was sick okay? Thanks man. " click. Arnold shut his cell phone, and continued driving. His black Mercedes almost hit another car, getting Arnold a mouthful of cursing. He didn't hear it. He was too busy thinking. 'I remember where her cottage is. I'll check there first.' He was snapped out of his trance, by a song drowning in and out of the radio.

It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do.......to look you in the eyes, and tell you I don't love you, its the hardest thing I'll ever have to lie..........to show no emotion, when you start to cry........can't let you see what you mean to me, when my hands are tied and my hearts not free..........when I'm meant to be............It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do........to turn around and walk away, pretending I don't love you...........................

He quickly shut off the radio. " I don't need this. " he was on the verge of tears. Too many memories filled his head. He concentrated on the road......' keep your mind on the road to dickhead. ' he snapped at himself. ' oh Helga............. why did you come into my life.........as soon as I was getting over you. ' soon, he pulled up along a cozy home near the ocean.

Helga's dark eyelashes shot up. There was a butterfly standing right on her nose. She smiled, and shooed it away. She better get inside. Just then, she saw someone. She peeked between the tree branches. Oh God. It was him. ' Can't he leave me in peace?! ' she cried inside her head. She saw him go up to her porch door. He knocked, no answer. ' Helga, you have to face him. ' she thought, and climbed down. Arnold scratched his head. "...if she's not here......then....." he turned around. " Helga. " she was coming towards him. " She has seriously changed. " he thought. He looked her over again, her beautiful blond hair, wildly flying, deep ocean blue eyes, which held a look of both pain and hatred. ' She's so beautiful. ' he thought, ashamed at himself. He blushed. She was the first to speak. " Come to embarrass me some more? " " You know I never meant it like that Helga! Don't do that to me. " he looked sincere. " Arnold....I..........." she sighed. " I'm sorry. I've been a bother in your life forever, you always had me throwing spit-balls at you, calling you football head, and everything. " she looked down. " Now look at you. Your so handsome Arnold. You shouldn't be around someone like me. Go home Arnold. Go home. " she turned around and started to walk away. He grabbed her arm and spun her around. Such force, he almost scared her. " What Arnold?! You've already made me feel bad about myself what more do you want?! " she cried, her tears flowing freely. " Helga.......listen to me. " Lila is using me, for my money, for my position. I know she is. She had and affair with a guy at work! Were not going out anymore Helga......besides........I shouldn't have been in the first pace. You were always better than her Helga. I just didn't see it." Her eyes softened. Then, they fired up. " Arnold, do you think I was born yesterday?! How can you just-........." she was cut off. Arnold pulled her in close and

kissed her hard on the lips. She was speechless. At first, she tried to cut off the kiss. But it was too good. His lips tasted that of strawberries. She was helpless. Her hands were pressed up against his chest, feeling his steady heartbeat. Memories flooded her. " A-Arnold...... I........." he smiled. "Don't leave me again Helga. I need you. " he pressed her close to him, she could feel heat radiating off him. " Oh Arnold, I don't know. " She started to cry. " Please don't do this to me. " " Don't do what? Care for you, protect you, hold you, talk to you.......love you? " he looked down at her. " Helga.....all these years I wondered what you were up to, where you've been........just thinking about you Helga, it caused me so much pain. " she looked up at him. " But I've found you now..........I've found you........" " Oh Arnold! " she clung to him, crying hysterically. " Don't leave me Arnold. " " I won't. " he whispered. " I love you Arnold. I'm sorry. " he smiled, but didn't say anything. He listened to the waves of the ocean for a second before deciding what to say. " I love you too Helga. Thank you. Thank you so much. " she looked at him. " For what? " " For loving me. For just being here. Thank you. "

Waves and leaves rustled, raindrops fell in the head........but it wasn't noticed...for the to two lovers......they had finally found where they belonged.
