All in Your Head, ch 11
Up in Mighty Pete, the ancient tree with a tree house (and plumbing even), she sat crying her eyes out about what she was unable to change. Her eyes were red and itchy, her face and hands felt sticky and disgusting. But despite that discomfort, crying made her feel slightly better.
"What are you doing?" he asked her.
"Nothing. Besides, I'm ever so sure that it is none of your business." Lila replied, "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be watching Helga or something?"
"I don't always watch her."
"Don't lie! You're always around her, watching her every move! You're obsessed!"
His eyes showed no emotion and he spoke calmly to her, "And you aren't?"
"Aren't I what?"
"Obsessed."
"I am so NOT obsessed. I'm over him!" she exclaimed, a bit too loudly, and he knew it wasn't true.
He smiled slightly, "You keep on telling yourself that, but you know it's a lie."
She hiccupped and scowled at him, "Shut up, Brainy, what would you know?"
He took a seat beside her and looked into her tear-soaked eyes, still smiling ever so slightly, "I think I would know. You and I both want something we can never have, no matter how hard we try, no matter how long we plan and scheme against fate, we will never win. Helga loves Arnold, Arnold loves Helga. So where does that leave us?"
Lila couldn't say anything. Brainy was right, he always was.
"So you agree, that I know as well as you do? It isn't meant to be, Lila, no matter how much we want it. All we can do is continue to care, or try to forget, but the latter isn't as easy."
She hiccupped again and he handed her a water bottle. She took a sip, "But, why? Why do we have to suffer?" she hiccupped a third time and took another sip.
"In order for Helga and Arnold to be happy, we will have to suffer. That's just the way it has to be, Lila. Instead of trying to separate them, like we tried the other day, we should try to help them." Brainy said.
"But I don't want to! I want to win. I want to be the one who gets Arnold, not Helga!" Lila cried.
"Believe me, I would love to be the one, instead of Arnold, but I cant. Even if Arnold was out of the way, Helga would never care about me."
Lila knew, Brainy was worse off than she was. Helga never talked to him, never tried to be his friend, she wouldn't even know he existed if she hadn't caught him watching her every day and punched his lights out. Brainy had never been loved, or even liked by Helga. He followed her around, watching her all the time, trying to be as close to her as possible. But when he got too close, BAM, he would wake up and she would be gone. It was so sad. How could he love a person who only hurt him nearly every day of his life?
Helga never hurt Arnold. Never physically. She wouldn't hurt a hair on his football head. Sure, she would trip him, and push him around, but it was never as bad as what she did to the others, especially poor Brainy. That was one way you could have been able to tell Helga cared about Arnold especially. She had picked on him the most, and hurt him the least.
It was a mystery as to why Arnold liked Helga. Brainy believed they were simply destined for each other. Lila wasn't too sure if she believed that. She figured that that was just an explanation that Brainy had made up to make himself feel better about his situation. But still, nothing else made much sense. What was so special about Helga anyway?
"How can you LIKE her?" she blurted out all of a sudden, and covered her mouth in surprise.
Brainy gave Lila a look as though she had sprouted 5 heads, "What? Why do I like Helga?"
Without thinking, she nodded.
"I, well, its hard to explain." Brainy's expression became sad, "I- you, well, you have to see her the way I do. She has another side to her that not many people see."
Lila felt very guilty, "I'm ever so sorry Brainy. I shouldn't ask such things. I don't mean to make you feel bad."
She hugged him and he brightened a little, "It's alright" Brainy told her, "We're a lot alike, you and I. Two people obsessed over what will never be."
She smiled, but it faded when she began to think again, "So what do we do?" she asked.
"Good question. Want to go Helga and Arnold watching tomorrow?"
She giggled, "No, I'm ever so sure that YOUR area of expertise, I'd just mess things up."
"Hmm. well, we've got a nice little afternoon left, no homework, what say we just lay around here and think of how we can glue our lives back together?"
"Sounds like a plan."
******well, its bed time, wow, 2 chappers written in two days ^- ^******
******I dunno why I feel it necessary to tell you that a lot of what Brainy and Lila are thinking and doing is similar to what happened to me long ago, in the before time (ok, maybe it was last summer?). I had to move on too *snifflz* poor me, I don't know how! Oh well, bipolar ness, do your stuff! *starts laughing for no reason at all* ******
*****Thank you to anyone who gave me ideas for songs, I will try to use them. If you have any more, be sure to let me know in a review, por favor!******
******I love you all!!! (hehehe, no not like that v!!)******
******nobody will give me any ideas for sooongs! *snifflz* oh well, I have lotsa songs, somewhere******
