Hey guys! Okay. First off, Chapter 14 is fixed…hopefully. Secondly, for once in like forever I am working on the story again. Again I say I want to finish it up in the next few chapters but I may get hit by a brick of inspiration…those things hurt though. Anyways, so here is the next chapter. I may not update as quickly as others because I am making a rule for myself not to update unless I have already written another chapter behind it. This is just to make sure I won't get hit by the writer's block…those hurt more. Thanks for your patience everybody and thank you so much for reading my story. I would like to add that I LUV! reviews so please review often and lots. Luv You All!
Sinilu Silverspell- Thank you so much for bringing Chapter 14 to my attention. I love you eternally for that. And I must say NO FREAKING FEM SLASH IN MY STORY. Haha, sorry, I may have dirty thinking friends and be a little dirty thinking myself but none of that is going into this story, sorry hun. Plus I forgot what rating this story is, but I know it is not like XXX…good movie by the way. OH and I love you especially forever for the Hershey's caramel kisses. I actually down a bag of those last week. Best sugar high of my life. And um….you don't have to worship me…just give me Hershey's kisses every once and a while. And maybe some pixie sticks.
Ari-Griffin yeah…writing an excellent story…truth be told it ain't excellent, just a way of keeping my sanity. I think I have read all the chapters of the Summer. And the only book I've read in there was The DaVinci Code. I have Angels and Demons but I haven't gotten around to reading it. And no…all green stuff is nasty.
King Cheetah I adore those faces! Haha…I'm glad you like my story! It makes me happy. And please…you don't have to be my servant. Again I say if you want to do anything for me then get me some Hershey's caramel kisses!

Disclaimer: Don't Own Hey Arnold. But I do own You! Bwahahaha….haha…ha…yeah…sorry bout that.
Helga was short of breathe. She bent over and tried to catch what little oxygen was in the air. She slowly lifted her head up to see Arnold's boarding house. Helga walked up to the door and gave a weak knock. She would be surprised if anyone heard her even if they were on the other side of the door listening for if someone would knock. Luckily someone did answer the door.
"Officer Lagney! How good to see you! You seem out of breathe! Have you been chasing the bandit of the Henlantie diamond again? I suppose you might want to talk to the professor on the properties of the diamond again. I'll call for him. PROFESSOR," Arnold's grandma called upstairs. Helga wasn't sure whatever happened to this woman, but she didn't care right now as long as Arnold was there. Helga then viewed a foot onto the staircase. She knew that foot.
"Yes grandma….Helga? Hey! What brings you here?" Arnold looked deep into Helga's blue eyes. He seemed to notice the small tear forming.
"Grandma, Helga and I are going to go up to my room for a little bit."
"Okey dokey, professor. If I can be any help in the arresting of this fugitive then just get me. I'll be hunting down the tiger in the kitchen." Pooky turned toward the kitchen and grabbed the fly swatter by the payphone.
Helga and Arnold moved their way to the upstairs. As soon as Helga was safe in the confines of Arnold's sanctuary she started letting out tears like bullets. Arnold just put his arm around her and led her to his bed to sit down. As soon as Helga was situated on the bed she buried her head in Arnold's shirt and cried until her eyes hurt. All this time Arnold just held her, trying to find an inclination of how Helga could feel this way. Finally too confused to bear, Arnold asked Helga what happened. Helga took a deep breath and tried to stop her breath from wavering enough so she could speak. She finally got out what she wanted to say in between spurts of tears.
"Mir…Miriam is com…coming home an…and Bob is…is leaving to Chicago again and Re…Rebecca is going wi…with him."
Helga started to bawl again but managed to look up at around for a second so see his reaction to all of this.
For the first time Arnold noticed the gash across Helga's face from where Bob slashed her. Arnold finally connected all the dots and just looked into Helga's eyes for a minute. Then as if he finally realized what he wanted to do he grabbed Helga into his arms and hugged her for the longest time.
"Oh Helga! I didn't know Bob could be this…Oh Helga. You can stay here with Miriam here as long as you want. I'm sure Grandma and Grandpa would be absolutely fine with it. Oh Helga. I'm so sorry!"
Helga pulled apart from Arnold. She just sat on the side of the bed for a minute looking at the floor until she spoke. She had finally gained her composure, or at least a little of it, back.
"No Arnold. Life without Bob will be better. I am glad he is gone. I am just worried about Rebecca. And also I am worried that my mom will go back to her old ways once she comes back to the house."
Arnold scooted over next to Helga and wiped a tear from her eye, and put his arm around her.
"I'm sure both of them will be fine. Anyone who can deal with you has got to be strong for themselves. Everything will be okay."
Helga turned to face Arnold. She mouthed a silent "Thank You" and then just sunk into his embrace.
Helga spent the rest of the night at Arnold's and then returned to her empty house.
She rolled into bed and thought to herself. Another beginning. Let's start this one right.
