Silent Night
Disclaimer: I don't own Hey Arnold! I'm still working on it, though.
A/N: Wow! Three in one day? I'm on a roll! I'm hoping to write more. I really want to get this thing set into the place I want it. I thought I could have done it last chapter but I wanted to have a cliffhanger instead. Sorry, but you'll just have to wait awhile to find out who the last speaker was!
One More Chance
Finally, I'm with you.
My heart is having a fit.
I thought it was what I wanted.
But I guess that's what I get.
I fell in love with a damned soul,
The one thing I truly regret.
I was almost certain
My gaze was set on you.
But then I changed my mortifying perspective.
What is there left to do?
I only wanted one simple thing,
You still have no clue.
When the one thing I wanted
Was the one and only you.
You played my heart,
Your tore it into pieces.
I thought you loved me, too.
But you couldn't be decent.
My feelings were shattered
At the will of your beautiful gaze.
I saw them, looked into them,
I can say the made me feel dazed.
So when you can admit it,
That you can't get over me,
I'll be running back to you.
There's only one thing I don't see.
How can someone so beautiful
Rip my heart in two?
She wrote it with her heart. Oh, how I wished that I could be such a writer as her. That thought was swiped from my mind the second I saw a small golden object laying on my floor.
"There you are! You were making my go loony! Where have you been?" I cried to my un-answering locket. "Oh, how I've longed to look at that prize of a smile every hour of thy day. And yet, I don't need you."
"Whom are you talking to?" I heard a small voice call from behind me. I turned with a remorse look on my surprised face. I slapped an unwilling hand up to my mouth.
"What are you doing here?" I asked the figure standing in my doorway listening in on my every word. "What are you doing here?" I asked again. Still there was no answer to my question. "I'm going to ask you one last time! What are you doing here?"
"You never mined my being here before. Why the sudden harsh tone, Helga? From what I remember you were always happy to see me. Helga, you loved me!" Whispered the figure. I felt a warm tear trickle down my cheek.
"I told you to never come again!" I said slightly louder. I was staring at the figure of Danny Lynden.
"Now, now, now, Helga. Let's not be hasty. I'm only here for a visit." He cooed. I felt my knees go a little weak. "I just wanted to see how my girl was holding up."
"Danny! I told you never to call me that. I'd rather you not some around at all! Would you mind leaving?" I sniffed. The tears that had been dwelling my eyes for seven years were pouring down my cheeks.
"I shall leave your presence in a while. Helga, why haven't you even tried to contact me?" He purred. My face was beat red. I walked over to him. I was only an inch from his face.
"Danny. I said leave. Now, go! I don't wish for you to be here! Leave!" The second I uttered the last word he disappeared. I fell to my knees and buried my face in my trembling hands. I could picture his face from seven years before. He looked the same, just mountains taller.
"May I speak to Arnold?" I asked, still trying to muffle the sound of my sobs. I wasn't doing an extravagant job of it, though.
"Eleanor? Is that you?" I heard Gertie call from the other end of the phone line.
"Yes. May I please speak with Arnold? This is important!"
"Sure. Here he is. Tex! Pick up the phone! It's Eleanor."
"Hello? Helga?" He asked.
"Yeah, it's me. Arnold? Do you think that you could meet me at Ollie's Coffee House?" I sobbed. Arnold took notice to this rather quickly.
"Of course. Want me to pick you up or go straight over?"
"Meet me there. It'll be quicker. Please hurry!" I said hanging up the phone and running to the bottom of the steps. I pushed through the door only stopping to wipe my eyes. I ran around the block to Ollie's.
I saw Arnold turning a corner. He ran when he caught sight of me. When he reached me he pulled me into his arms. He closed his eyes and started to pat down my hair.
"It's okay. I'm here now. Don't worry. Everything is alright." He said soothingly. I sobbed into his welcoming shoulders. Arnold still had no clue what was wrong with me, yet he leant me a shoulder to cry on.
After a few minutes of that, I pulled up from his shoulder and smiled. Arnold did the same.
"Helga? What happened?" Came the dreaded words that I knew were coming. I took a deep breath and let it out, another tear running down my swollen cheek.
"Danny is what happened." I managed.
"Who's Danny?" He asked looking at me with hurt eyes. He thought I was cheating on him. I gaped at him.
"He's Olga's husbands cousin. I've known him since the day I was born. I hate him! I thought I loved him and he told me he loved me. He broke my heart and I told him to leave. He showed up today. I fell apart." I confided in him. He looked somewhat happier.
"Oh. I thought-Why did you break down like that?" He asked, a concerned look upon his red flushed face.
"Arnold? You don't get it, do you? He tore me apart and I don't want a thing to do with him!" I started, walking slowly into Ollie's.
"You still love him, don't you?" I could see his eyes growing red.
"No! I couldn't love him!" I shouted in my growing temper.
"That's not what it seems like! You don't just start crying over someone who makes you feel like this!" His calm voice stated. I walked to an unoccupied table.
"How can you say that? He makes me feel like I'm nothing. I hate that! The worst part is, he's everywhere." I cried.
"Helga? Is that how I used to make you feel? Did I make you cry when I was so stupid as to ignore you?" He asked, his eyes mournful. I stared in his eyes for a second.
"I'll admit, I cried every time I thought about how you only noticed me when I was someone else. Sure, I disliked you sometimes because of it. But I could never feel that way towards you. Arnold, I'm really in love with you. There's no doubt about it."
After a long awaited time, he let himself go. I saw a few tears stroll down his face. I smiled.
"Arnold? Will you promise me one thing?" I asked when my smile faded.
"Anything." He answered.
"Promise me that you'll never assume things like that again!" I chuckled. He laughed along then nodded. We sat there talking for another hour with the waiter coming by every fifteen minutes to see if we wanted anything else.

Wow! I wasn't expecting this to be seven pages long. But I had so much fun putting all of my feelings into this. I think that this story is starting to reflect upon my life. I'm hoping that you guys liked it! I'm not sure what the next chapter is to be called. Happy reading!
