2.1 What if…
2.1.1 By: Christina
2.1.1.1 Hurt Again and Running Away
Arnold walked out the door, unknowingly breaking the heart of the girl left behind. He was so confused; she had seemed so in control, so nice and sane when he talked to her online. What had changed? Was it possible what she was saying was true? He couldn't believe something so farfetched. But then again, they had both been having the same dream. Wait, she said that, but how did he know. He had his answer, and was sure that was the last time he would see her.
Helga's heart was shattered. She wiped her tears and her eyes held the image of a rose. The rose Arnold had brought for her. The tears flowed again. A petal of the rose fell off and Helga left the shop. She went home and made herself a hot bath and forgot all her worries.
Arnold retreated to his home and put on some jazz music to call him down. He settled down on his couch and took a little nap.
DREAM
A girl with a pink bow and dress looked at him. She played with the hem of her skirt nervously. Arnold was yelling at her, ignoring the hurt that was so evident on her face. He yelled, "I never want to see you again" and the world around them swirled. He was again in the same spot but the girl had disappeared. He searched for her, but she was nowhere to be found.
END DREAM
Arnold opened his eyes and sat up. She was right! His wish had come true! Suddenly a flood of memories raced through his mind. So many clues, yet he had had no idea! Arnold, your football head is so dense. He couldn't see what was so clear. He had seen only the Helga the rest of the world had seen. How shallow, how stupid! Arnold had to get a hold of Helga.
Helga had packed up her things. She couldn't bear to be hurt by Arnold anymore. Her apartment was cleared out and she was standing by the street waiting for her cab. She was going to L.A. There she could be safe from Arnold, and every memory of him. Plus, that was where she grew up and where she felt most comfortable. A cab pulled up and she got in. The ride to the airport was silent. She got out and booked the next flight to L.A. Then she went to buy a magazine to read on the plane.
Her flight was called and she approached the ticket lady. She entered the plane and tried to find a seat. Her seat was a window seat, and no one was sitting next to her. She opened her magazine and started reading.
She woke up 5 hours later. She had fallen asleep. She wiped away the sleep from her eyes and stretched. The pilot announced they were landing soon and Helga put her seat belt on. After landing, she waited until most people had gotten off the plane before exiting. A cute male flight attendant checked her out. She smiled shyly and kept walking along. She walked silently towards the baggage claim and waited patiently. Soon she saw her distinctive bag coming towards her. She picked it up and walked towards where the taxi's picked people up.
She got in and directed him to the nearest hotel. After thanking him and paying for the ride, she walked into the hotel and rented herself a room. She was handed a key and set off looking for her room.
