Guardian Angel 5: Good-Bye Grandma
(A/N: I HATE BROTHERS!!!!!!!!!! Thankyou that's all)
"Arnold drive slowly" Helga said. He looked at her.
"I thought she said soon. Not now!" he yelled. He had to get there before his grandma left.
"She will wait for you Arnold. Even if he cant she will go knowing you love her. You feel and see those things as you leave" Helga said her gaze drifting off to space.
"I know Helga but I want to tell her" he said. Tears were going dowm his face.
"Your grandpa is going to have a hard time of it" Helga said. "Maybe you should go back and live with him" she said,
"I cant. I have been trying since they first took me away! They wont let me"
"Because your 16 they will let you choose where you want to live. As long as you have a guardian" he looked at her. "Human guardian Arnold. Angel's aren't included" she told him. They finally left the highway and Arnold had to slow down. It wasn't busy, thank god, so he had a pretty smooth drive all the way to the hospital. Now all he had to do was find a parking space (ever notice how whenever you're in a hurry there are none?). In the end Helga willed a man who was just sitting in his car to move. He did and Arnold took his space. Helga chanced a look at the man. He looked confused. She shrugged and watched as Arnold rushed up the stairs. Helga just transported herself to the room...
He ran through the halls. He just had to get there before she died. He ran through the door ignoring the nurse who called to him to stop running. There she was. Hooked up to all these machines. He never knew so many tubes and needles could come from one person. Helga was standing over her with her hands over her heart. They were glowing a soft rose pink like the rest of her. She looked up at him.
"Hurry up Arnold. I'm not supossed to be doing this," she said. He walked over and took his grandma's hand and then grabbed his grandpa's. Phil was just sitting there with a blank expression on his face. His grandma had never looked so small. He leaned over and kissed her forehead. "I love you grandma. Thank-you for looking after me all those years. I'll miss you" he whispered. She opened her eyes briefly.
"Arnold? Isn't that the Pataki's little girl?" she said taking Helga's hand.
"Yeah grandma, that's Helga" he said.
"I'm gonna take you home" Helga said. Arnold watched as his grandma smiled the closed her eyess.
"See you soon Phil" then she was gone. Helga looked at Arnold and he looked at her.
"I'll be right back" she said and touched both of his grandma's hands and pulled back. He watched as a misty light, at first, emerged then turn into his grandma. Then they both dissapeared...
"Thank you Helga. Although you were supossed to leave this to me" the angel of death, Daniel , told her.
"I know, but I knew this woman and I felt I don't know obligated to" she stammered looking down. She felt his hand on her shoulder.
"It's okay. It saved me a trip anyway" he told her with a small smile. Then left. She sighed and went back to the hospital room.
"Did she make it?" Arnold asked. She looked at him. His eyes were red and swollen but he wasn't in complete grif.
"Yes Arnold she did. Peter is getting her details done and set orderly and she will go to her heaven" Helga said looking past him. Daniel was entering the room of a young girl who had recently been brought in. She saw him leave holding her hand and smiled at Helga one more time then they were gone. "Let's go" she said. She turned and saw "Steely" Phil looking at the wall. Right now he didn't look so steely. He looked like an egg. The slightest puff of air would push him off the wall and break him into millions of little pieces and he would never be put back together again. She felt sad for him. He felt sad for himself. He looked straight at her.
"Is she okay? She'll be okay? I will see her wont I?" he asked her anxiously. She looked behind her. No-one. Was he talking to her? "Aren't you Bob Pataki's missing girl?" he asked cocking his head to one side. Helga nodded. Phil nodded. " She is okay isn't she?" he asked again.
"She will be fine. And you will see her again. If you die of natural causes. Not suicide. Suiciders go nowhere. They just continue to walk around feeling misrrable for the rest of their eternal life. They never see any light. They never make it to Heaven or Hell. So don't take that way out" she told him. The last thing she wanted was Arnold's grandpa turning around and taking his life thinking that would get him to Gertrude. Phil took her hand.
"Thank-you" he said. She smiled and grabbed Arnold's hand.
"I'm going to find a way for Arnold to stay with you" she vowed. Phil nodded and a small light went on in his eyes. He needed his grandson now. Helga turned to Arnold. "I think we should get him home," she said. Arnold nodded.
(A/N: These are my beliefs anyway. I believe the only one right religion is the one you feel comfortable with. When you r&r you can tell me what you think of it. I kinda like criticism by the way. Keeps me humble ;))
