Chapter six: "Heaven..."
After a slow breakfast they was sitting on the kitchen table, gazing each other in silence, their fingers intertwined on the table.
"Morning Kimba!" – said grandma (who was you thinking, anyway ^_^) entering to the kitchen and starting to prepare the breakfast for the other boarders. –"Oh! I see that you came too Helena! Glad to see you again"
"Morning Grandma" – said Arnold dreamily still looking at Helga's eyes.
"Good morning Gertie..." – said Helga on the same tone as Arnold, not bothering to take her look off Arnold tender eyes. Grandma stayed quiet for a moment, looking at them, and a smile full of memories crossed her face.
"Oooooh, look at those lovebirds!" – said Grandpa coming at the kitchen too. They broke their look for a moment and felt blushing. Grandpa laughed warmly.
"Grandpa!"
"Is just what you both look like!" – said Grandpa approaching to his wife. Grandma took his hand, still with that smile and expressive eyes. He smiled remembering too. – "You guys want some breakfast?"
"Well... we already had breakfast" – said Arnold starting to take the plates and cups. Helga stood up ready to help Arnold.
"If I knew that you was going to act so helpfully I made that night real earlier..." – said Arnold amused on Helga's ear. She blushed in silence and smiled while letting the plates and cups on the dishwasher. He gazed her, still amazed by her slow and perfect movements, and he seemed to see her older, like if put the dishwasher, and be with him after breakfast it was the most normal thing. He shook his head, letting that imagination flash go away and, go again to the real time. Yes, she was talking with his grandparents with a normal and friend tone, trying to help his grandmother preparing the breakfast, hearing her laugh at his grandpa's jokes... and then, he had the realization, he knew it deep inside. 'I'm going to spend all my life by her side. I want to spend all my life with her' Then, she looked at him still smiling and felt a warm sensation running trough her veins. 'What's that look that he has on his eyes?... I remember this same look when we was making love for first time... the same one as he gaved me when he uses to watch me go home... I always loved him, I love him... I can't believe this is happening....'
Later, when almost all boarders came down and made their jokes about them, Arnold walked her up to his room taking her hand gently. After took a good shower, fixing the bed with new sheets and covers, while they both was blushing a little and joking about all that, he opened a window letting the new air enter the room. She found a song on his computer and silently, turn the volum up and let the first chords surround the room and the space.
Oh, thinking about our younger years....
He looked at her surprised by the music, but couldn't hide a coy smile.
There was only you and me, we were young and wild and free....
She came closer to him, taking his hand plenty of emotions, with her expressive blue eyes, shining.
Now nothing can take you away from me... we've been down that road before....
He put his arms around her waist making her move to the sound of the music...
That's over now.... you keep me coming back for more....
She let her head rest on his shoulder while putting her arms around his neck...
Baby you're all that I want, when you're lying here in my arms...
Both gave a deep look on the other's eyes and closed them sighing...
I'm finding it hard to believe... we're in heaven... And lovin' is all that I need, and I'm finally there in your heart It isn't too hard to see... we're in heaven.
Oh, once in your life you find someone... who will turn your world around Bring you up when you feeling down.. Now nothing can change what you mean to me... There's a lot that I could say but just hold me now 'Cause our love will light the way....
"And baby you're all that I want..." – started singing Arnold – "When you're lying here in my arms... I'm finding it hard to believe... we're in heaven..."
"And love is all that I need, and I found it there in your heart... it isn't too hard to see... we're in heaven...." – replied Helga, singing in a whisper, looking at him dreamily.
I've been waiting for so long, for something to arrive, for love to come along... Now our dreams are coming true, trough the good times and the bad... I'll be there standing by you....
And as the music leaned on it's end they kissed softly, closing their eyes, knowing that it wasn't just a dream.
* * *
"Are you sure?" – asked Arnold worried rubbing her arm.
"Yes... it is now... o never. Now I feel stronger." – said Helga touching his hair.
They both was in front of Helga's house. They didn't want to leave but they knew that there was some things on the reality, some problems that needed to be solved.
"I'll be waiting at home. Be careful. I know that you can do it, I really believe in you" – said Arnold looking at her eyes again. He couldn't be never tired of her gaze. She couldn't resist all those emotions that was happening and a little tear appeared on her eyes, falling to her mouth. He wipped it out, but his eyes was watery too. They hugged tight and kissed each other again, a warm and long kiss, their tongues mixing sweetly, breathing each other's breath. Then, she climbed the stairs and gave him a last look at his eyes, smiling like he almost never saw her do it. He was smiling too and whispered those three words before she couldn't saw him. He waited a little and started his way to his house.
The house was like suffocated for a thick silence. It was darker than usually so, she came to the windows to put the curtains like the light could enter to the house.
"Well... that's better" – said Helga to herself. She went to her room to let Arnold's clothes that she was wearing and changed herself onto her normal clothes. She waited for someone knocking at the door or scream her name loudly... but it was just silence. She sighed but remembered 'now or never, now or never, now or never....'
"MIri... I mean... MOM??" – said loudly. No answer. She went then to the kitchen and found her mother sleep, with her head leaning on the table. She frowned, but then she looked at some full bottles of alcohol that was on the garbage can and let a smile. Maybe, after all, she decided to quit alcohol... or start to fight for herself. In silence, Helga sitted down next to her mom, and after a moments of hesitating, she pulled her mother's hair out of her face.
"Mom..."
"Helga!!" – said Miriam suddenly waking up. She looked at her daughter with relief. She hugged her tight letting Helga in a total shock state. – "Where have you been!? I've been so worried! WE'VE been so worried!!"
"Mom?!"
"Oh... Helga... I thought I've lost you..."
"But... is not the first time that I'm out for hours!"
"But yesterday... all happened so fast... I know Bob wouldn't slap you..." – Helga made a weak expression.
"You can't know it..."
"Helga... yesterday you opened my eyes. I felt stronger when I saw that you was going to help me, I mean that a forteen year's old..."
"I'm sixteen mom... almost seventeen..."
"Well... wathever... just... I thought that you will run away from home forever with that Arthur and..."
"It's Arnold.... but... – started Helga putting her hand on her mother's shoulder – mom... I think I started to say the truth yesterday, talk with you sincerely and... I don't know..."
"What do you mean?"
"I just want that you and Bob accept me as I am... I don't wanna be or stay like always on Olga's shadow... I can't be like her, I'm other person... I'm not going to be like her mom..."
Then, the silence was present again on the air. Helga sighed.
"Where's Bob?"
"He's going to come back for work to have lunch. He... has called earlier and asked where was you... we had a talk yesterday... and I think he's going to listen to you, he's going to make an effort". Helga stood up and watched at her mother. She knew that things wasn't going to be different the next morning... it would take months or more time to see changes... but she saw her mother resolved to do something and this worked for her.
"You... you want me to help you cooking the lunch?" – said Helga after more silent doubts. Of course she would make that their parents listened to her... but she had to do some steps too, or nothing will change. Her mother smiled and nodded. They started to prepare some food and their silence was now pretty much confortable.

Well! Six chapter of this story!! I'm sorry if you think that I made thing too much sweet between Arnold and Helga, but... I just felt like that ^_^ For the song I recommend you the slow version from DJ Sammy & Yanou – Heaven, anyway Bryan Adams version is cool too. Remember that I don't own them!!!!! (Hard to trust me?? xD )
I think this one was shorter, but on next one I'm going to be on the subject between Bob and Helga... are they going to solve anything? Who knows...
By the way, thanks to all who have rewiewed:
Ruffmaster: Hello Quiet guy!! Thank you very much for your rewiews and your positive mails, they helped me a lot to keep on writing. About the english subject, I know that some sentences will sound funny or weird on the story but I'm trying to do my best with a dictionary at my side. I don't think that he's going to beat really bad Helga, but it's a possibility, because he becomes so irrational when he loses his mind and control. Anyway, thank you again for rewiewing and reading the story, I hope you update yours soon! ;)
DarthRoden: Well, I let you a rewiew on your stories, I really think that they are very nice, well you know!! I had the opportunity to read more of your stories. I really liked the one of Arnold's couch confessions. It makes me feel so happy that you think like this about last chapter, it makes me feel proud of my "job", anyway I know is not very impressing or super amazing, but I do the best I can by now :) Thank you again!!!!
Cassbball9797: Heeey!!! : ) Thank you for rewiewing my story, really!!! About the english grammar mistakes I think that you corrected me twice the same kind of mistake and I don't know if I learned it :S (I'm a bad student on this now, snif) Anyway thank you for helping me with the english and what you thought about the last chapter. I didn't wanted to describe it too much, I just wanted that it be wonderful, an expression of their love, not something just sexual, because I think that between them is, of course, more than that. Hoping that you update soon your story, as I always say, I don't want to stress you, but... I just like your story very much!!! : )
Silver Ash: Do you like my story??? : ) wow... a new rewiewer, this is just wonderful!! Thanks for reading my story and rewiewing. I hope that you will read next chapters too.... Oh! About the condoms thing!!! I know I didn't mentioned it earlier, when they was going to make love, but when I realized that I didn't say anything about "protection" it was like... hey! What message are you giving?!?! As I said to DarthRoden, I think that if you are responsible enough to make love, have sex or whatever with another person, you have to be responsible as well to think about how to protect yourself! Thanks for check on that!!! I hope that you will understand all that I'm trying to say on this story, I know that my english is so imperfect, but... I'm working on it!!!
Yours, Estel fugaç.
