Chapter 3...Anytime

When Gerald had left Arnold's house, he went straight to his. He didn't bother to say hi to his mom or dad he went to his room. He got inside his room he dropped himself on his bed and looked over at his phone still debating if he should call Lila. He knew that he was going to have to call sooner or later. He grabbed his phone and dialled Lila's number. After 2 rings Lila picked up her cell phone.

"Hello?" she said

"Hey Lila"

"Baby what's wrong" she said concerned

"I …I finally told Arnold and Phoebe"

"Arnold I understand, but why Phoebe?"

"I guess she needed to know too, she's a good friend" he lied

"Gerald why are you lying to me I know that you like her. Did you call me to break it off?"

"I called you, because I needed someone to talk too"

"Well you came to the right one"

Now Gerald remembered why he had said yes to her, because she's such a caring person who could say no to her.

"I knew that I could count on you" he said

"Anytime"

….. At the Pataki's……

It's been a while since Phoebe left and Helga was still in shock. Phoebe never talked to her that way before. She needed to get her mind cleared, she took her mp3 player and went out, she headed for the park. She walked through the bicycle path until she reached had a bench. She found Arnold sitting there.

"What are you doing here?" Helga asked

"What do you want Helga?" He wasn't in the mood to kid

"Oh! I guess that Gerald told you the big news"

"How do you know about it?"
"Phoebe told me"

"I see"

"So how are you handling things? Are you going to be ok?"

"I'm going to be fine, and why do care all suddenly?"

"Me and Phoebs just had a fight"

"About what?"

"The whole Gerald situation"

"What happened?"
"She said things I knew, but didn't want to hear"

"What did she say?"
"Ok Arnold enough with the questions, how are going to deal with Gerald and Lila?"

"I can't make any promises , but I know that it's going to be hard to deal with."
"But what I don't get is after al these years you still didn't give up on her. Arnold I don't want to sound mean, but it was obvious that she didn't like you back. I think you should move on" she said with sincere

"Uuh? Thanks Helga" he said a bit confused

"No problem Arnold, anytime"

….At the Heyerdahl's….

Phoebe locked herself in her room ever since she came back from Helga's. she wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone, she wanted to be left alone. She never acted that way before and if she did she would call Gerald, but now it's different she couldn't do that anymore. She felt numb, she felt like she was being trapped in a big hole. She just lost the love of her life and her best friend.

"Phoebe it's dinner" her mom said knocking on her door

"I'm not hungry" she whispered back

Her mom didn't hear her, she opened the door.

"Phoebe didn't yo…what's wrong honey?"

"Nothing mom, I'm not hungry"

"Is it still that headache of yours"

"Yes mom it's my headache it didn't go away all day. I think that I'll go to bed"

"Well let me go get you some medication"

"That would be nice mom"

"Anytime dear"

And her mom left her room and she thought of how dense her parents can be she never had a headache, just a heart break. She made her way to her bed and a few tears made their way down her cheeks.

"You said that you would never hurt me Gerald, death seems really sweet right now" she told herself in a bitter way.
