Disclaimer: I don't own it...

A/N: Oh yeah! I passed english with a C! ::dances:: Now all I have to worry about it passing biology. The test she gave us was so fucking hard and we got to use a study guide on it. Now what does that tell you? hehe well my school blows and I'm happy it's summer! Oh yeah! Well on to the story! Helga's POV!

Newest A/N: Ok so I know it's been like a long ass time since I updated and I can't really say sorry enough. Many things have happened last year... plus I suffered major writer's block... I mean I was like 'Ok so what to write for UF?' and my brain was like 'I don't know, ask again later.' So I go back to my brain and am like 'Do you know yet?' and my brain was like 'I don't know, ask again later.' Hehe and it continues... So here's the update hopefully you like! Helga's POV! (Oh and I did pass the biology test... think I got a B on it XD)

"Dream..."

Warmth. Comfort. My eyes slowly drifting shut as Gerald leaves to get paper for the project. I hear footsteps coming toward me, but sleep is calling; I have to answer it. I hear him sigh slightly, he sounds disappointed. I try to open my eyes, tell him I'm still awake, but I can't.

I few even more warmth and comfort as he wraps a blanket around me. It smells like him; I inhale his scent and fall deeper into my head. I have no dreams and the next thing I know, it's morning.

I slowly open my eyes and hope last night was just a dream. His scent still lingers on the blanket. His body is resting on the floor next to the couch.

"Nope, not a dream," I mumble.

I cautiously move into a sitting position and wrap the blanket tighter around me. Sitting there I look into the face of the guy I'm slowly starting to trust. The light surrounds his face making him even more beautiful then usual. His darkly tanned skin has a soft glow and his afro is just as perfect kept as it always was. His eyes are brown and so understanding--wait his eyes? It takes me a moment to realize he's awake and I've been caught staring at him. My face heats up and I turn away trying to hide my red face.

"Sleep well?" he whispers, voice still sounding tired.
"Yeah, one of the best nights," I reply, "Did I just say that last part out loud?"
He nods and smiles as I slap myself mentally.
"Why don't you go back to sleep? You look tired still," I say to him, almost motherly.
"I'm not--" he yawns mid-sentence then smiles sheepishly, "Ok maybe just a little bit."

I feel the corner of my lips curve upwards. He looks at me, beaming.

"Go back to sleep, you're tired," I tell him, trying to hide the smile that wants to appear on my face.
"If you promise you'll be here when I wake back up," he replies, eyes starting to shut.
"I don't know, maybe," I return.

I want to stay, but what if he got tired of me? What if he decides I'm not good enough? I can't trust him, no matter how much I want to. I can't let him in the walls I built, I can't make myself weak again. I repeat that over and over in my head. Just tell him to go fuck himself and be over with it.

"I'm not sleeping unless you promise," he replies yawning.

Tell him to fuck himself Helga, replays over and over in my mind, but my heart has a different response. It over-rides my brain as I hear myself saying,

"Ok I promise."
"Really?"
"Yes," I reply, sincerely.
"Good," he says before falling into a deep sleep.
"He won't notice if I-- no you promised," I mumble. "I can't trust him."

Sighing defeatly, I lay back down on the couch and pull the blanket even tighter around me. I smell him again; I can't help but feel all giddy, can't help but feel like a little school girl. Can't help but feel like I did when I found out Arnold liked me. Silent tears try to push their way out of my eyes as I think about Arnold and I together. Pushing it to the back of my mind I inhale the scent of Gerald and drift off into a deep sleep.

"Helga?" a voice calls to me.
"Wha-what?" I ask it.
"Follow me," it replies.
"Why?"
"Why not?"
"Because."
"Trust me."
"I can't."
"Why not?"
"I just can't." I awake with a start
Looking around the house I notice Gerald isn't laying down by the couch. I notice that no one is in the living room at all.

"Abandoned again," I whisper.
"Helga?" I hear someone call.

I look up and Gerald comes walking in with an apron tied around his waist. He has oven mitts on his hands and he's grinning.

"Hi," I mumble as he walks in the room.
"How'd you sleep?" he asks.
"You asked me that earlier," I state.
"I did?"
"Nevermind, I slept well."
"Good, hungry."
"No," I tell him, and at the moment my stomach betrays me and grumbles.
"You lie," he says, amused.
"Ok, maybe alittle," I agree as the corner of my lips curve upwards slightly. "Where is everyone?"
"Work and friend's house," he smiles.
"Oh," is the only thing that comes out of my mouth.

He tells me to stay put while he finishes breakfast. I lay and enjoy the comfort I get from his house. The atmosphere is so different, it's really refreshing. It feels as if love is embracing me, I allow myself to smile, a real smile. For the first time in my life I feel at complete ease, complete comfort, but I know it won't last long. It never does.

A/N: Ok this chapter is really really short, I'm sorry... I thought that this would be a good place to leave off... As you see Helga is starting to find comfort with Gerald, but will she allow herself to completely trust him? Ok question... Should it really take this long for Helga to trust him? See if I had it my way she wouldn't trust him til about the 12th or so chapter... But I need to know if what I'm writing makes sense or should I speed some things up? Help me out? I'll give you a cookie! XD ok Review thanks time...
