Hey Arnold: Wanna Come In Helga?
To Lay Her Burden Down
Helga walked through the door of her house. There was a ruckus going on in the kitchen, and the tv wasn't on in the living room so she knew Big Bob wasn't home. She didn't know how she was going to face him or her sister after this morning. She felt her stomach grumbl in disagreement so she through her bookbag down and went into the kitchen for a snack.
She entered going for the usual. Some fruit snacks and a coke. She was going to sit down and pay no mind to olga who was now up in the top cabinets obviously looking for something. Olga turned around and saw Helga. "Helga"came her mother's voice," your home."
"Ah yeah"Helga said in a little bit of shock. It was Miriam. Or at least she thought it was.
"Well I wanted to talk to you about this morning. See well when two people care about each other they"Miriam sat down at the dinner table not sure how to present this. "We'll they........."
"Mom i know all about the birds and the bees. You don't have to explain, its just this morningI thought you were Olga, and it scared me. Thats all." Helga stood up to leave.
"Well Helga"Miriam pushed her glasses up on her nose. "I'm glad I had this talk, didn't want you to think your dad was cheating or anything."
Helga raised a finely plucked brow and left the kitchen. She finished off the snacks on the way out of the kitchen, dropping the paper and can in the trash on the way out. She grabbed a coat and left the house to go over to the tree house. She climbed the ladder to see no one in sight. She sighed making a resting space inside. She use to long to feel Arnold, but she didn't any more. After kissing him, she felt different. As if for the first time she was letting him go. She felt inspired to right a poem about htis moment, not Arnold, but this very moment about letting Arnold go. She had tried so hard to hate him because she loved him, and now she simply didn't feel anything towards him.
As she sat there, the stars were starting to peek out and the sun was going down in its usual blaze of glory. "Oh Arnold"she sighed. It was over, she felt nothing for him, and only saw him as a good friend. "Goodbye."
