Helga.
She was a mystery,
A puzzle that lost most of its pieces.
But yet she was still hard to figure out even with the clues, or the puzzle pieces that you collected, you still couldn't make out what they meant.
I cared for her a lot.
But somehow she would push me away.
I remembered in High school when I was a sophomore; I began to notice her differently.
How she walked, how she smiled, how she had that twinkle in her eyes.
I was slowly drawn to her, and soon I began to love her.
I loved everything about her.
The problem was,
I just didn't know how to tell her.
I mean I wasn't exactly her most favorite person in the world, (Or so I thought).
I would flirt with her madly; she would flirt back too, just a little though. But when she began to get carried away, she would stop and ignore me for awhile.
I never quite understood that, till that night.
When we were seniors, it was her birthday June 4, the day she was born and the day she died.
I remember that day very clearly like it was just yesterday...
~*Flashback*~
I walked slowly towards Helga as she gripped tightly to the bridge.
"Helga?" I ask, her eyes fluttered open and she turned towards me. "What do you want football head?" She sneered. "What are you doing?" I asked in confusion. She looked down at me and smiled lovingly. "I'm going to jump and kill myself" she said plainly "What!? You can't your only seventeen! You're graduating tomorrow! You have a life to live! You can't!" I screamed. "And why not?" she asked and looked at me like I had just grown five heads. "Because your friends and family will miss you" I said as the wind played with my hair. Helga snorted "like anyone would miss me! No one ever loved me! My parents ignored me and my dad didn't even know my name! I have no friends besides Phoebe. I have no life to live!" she yelled as she hung to the bridge tears rolling down her red puffy face and the wind blowing her hair in her face. I took a step closer. "We can work things out" I whispered and Helga just shook her head. "All I wanted was to be loved and I never got it, they broke my heart so many times I think I don't even have one anymore!" she sobbed, with head hanging low and her shoulders heaving as she cried. 'I love you!!!!' I felt like screaming but I was too fixed in the moment to say it, all I wanted was Helga, down from the edge of the bridge and in my arms.
But I had a feeling that, that wasn't going to happen.
"It's okay" I whispered finally and touched her cold bare arm. She looked up at me with the saddest eyes I have ever seen. "I'm sorry but I have to do this Arnold" she whispered and I shook his head. "No you don't" I protested "Yes I do" she smiled slightly. "I love you" she whispered and kissed me on the cheek. That was the last thing she said to me. Then she let go and met her icy death. "Helga!" I screamed and reached out for her. The last thing I saw was her golden hair. I felt the tears begin to fall and I touched me cheek remembering the last, and only real kiss that she ever gave me. "I love you too" I whispered.
~* End of Flashback*~
I wiped a tear, and shoved my hands into my pockets.
I walked through the park till, I found mine and Helga's favorite spot, (The spot where we usually talked).
I sat down by the edge of the lake, and looked at the sunset.
I sighed, contently.
I was so into the sunset that I hardly noticed someone sitting next to me.
"Hello Arnold long time no see" the person whispered.
"Oh hey Helga" I said,
"Helga!!?!?!?!" I screamed.
Helga smiled softly and nodded, she was wearing a pair of jeans and light green sweater.
A million questions ran through my head but all I managed to say was,
"I thought that you were dead!!" I exclaimed and hugged Helga tightly.
"Well I'm not." She replied.
"I love you" I whispered finally,
Helga drew back, and looked at me blankly,
"Do you love me now because I tried to kill myself??" Helga asked.
I shook his head vigorously,
"I've always loved you I just found the words to tell you" I whispered as I brushed a strand of hair away form her face.
Helga smiled softly, "Arnold I loved since god knows when, but now I somehow I can't return the feelings" she whispered sadly.
"I understand" I whispered and hugged her.
"Just remember I'm always here for you" I said, and released Helga.
Helga nodded and walked away into the sunset.
Helga.
She's a mystery,
A puzzle,
A work of art,
She's beautiful,
I realized what she does; she does for a reason, even if she doesn't know it.
And most of all,
I love her.
I just hope it isn't too late.
AN: Ok One more chappie to go (Maybe two I dunno yet) I might do a sequel but I'm still debating on it. Well please review!!!!
