!I've Been Here All Along!

Chapter 2:Morning Fight

The next morning Helga found herself in Arnold's arms. She told him to stay on his side of the bed even though she did trust him.

"Oh Arnold I'm sorry, didn't mean to sleep in you like that" Helga said while she was getting up, she had a hint of embarrassment on in her voice

"it's ok Helga "

Helga got off the bed and walked towards the door, she turns around and looked at Arnold with pity eyes.

"Arnold are you going to be ok"

"I'll try not to think about it, but I know that it will be kind of hard, because it's never easy to forget the one we love"

"Arnold you are going to have to learn to let go, if she had the courage to do this to you do you seriously think that she loved you" Helga said in pure jealously, because she hated the fact that he still loved Lila.

" Helga you're not helping"

"No I think that I am someone needs to bring you back to reality. Wasn't it obvious that she was cheating on you. Did she kissed you the same way as before, touch the same way, I don't think that she did" Helga's voice getting a bit louder.

"Helga what is wrong with you, you're saying all these things like you knew about it"

Helga just stared at him not knowing what to say.

"Well Helga did you know that Lila was cheating on me?"

Helga still didn't answer, and Arnold started to be a bit suspicious .

"Helga is there something you know that I should know, what are you hiding from me"

"Arnold I'm sorry" her voice sounded like she was about to cry.

"Well Helga what are you hiding from me"

"I knew"

"You knew what"

"That Lila was cheating on you" the tears flowed out of her eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me" Arnold was in shock in at the same time mad.

"Because I didn't want to see you get hurt"

"And how do you think I'm feeling right now"

"I'm sorry Arnold, I was afraid that you wouldn't believe me and it would ruin our friendship"

"That's not true" he said

"Yes you know it's true, because you were so crazy love that you would've chosen her side over mine and if you deny that you know that you would be lying" she said to defend herself

"Wow Helga I really don't know what to say"

"You could at lease try to understand "

"There's nothing there to understand"

Arnold walked passed her, he went into the living room got his coat and was about to walk out the door, Helga came in the room.

"Arnold where are you going " Helga was kind of scared because he wasn't sure what he would do to himself

"I'm going out to think"

"Are you coming back"

"I don't know …" and he walked out the door.

Helga stood there in disbelief, she felt ashamed for doing this to Arnold. She was scared for their friendship and she was scared for her own heart because she could not stand fighting with him. She would've rather broken her own heart instead of his. This was not the time to make mistakes , now that Lila was out of the picture she can finally let her feelings show and maybe they could work something out. She made her way to the door and closed it .

"Maybe a good shower should help" she said to herself.

She got into the shower, and let the hot water fall on her body. She got out and dressed herself, she promised herself that she would not go out until Arnold comes back, even if it would take all day he was worth the wait.

She took the phone and dialed Phoebe's number, her only girl friend.

"Hello" Phoebe said

"Hey it's Helga"

"Is Gerald here"

"yeah, why"

"I was wondering if he was with Arnold"

"Oh yes he just got here, he didn't lookvery happy"

"That would be my fault"

"Ok Helga what did you do"

"Cindy was cheating on him and I knew and I didn't tell him about it, and we just got into a fight, can you make sure that he comes back here after he's done talking with Gerald. I'm so worried about him."

"Yes I will. So him and Lila are not together anymore"

"No they're not "

"And what are you gong to do about that"

"Nothing, what can I do Phoebe, confess to him he'll never accept me"

"Helga you'll never know until you try"

"Not now, right now I'm trying to make him understand that what I did was only for our friendship sake"

"Or was it for your own"

"It was for us"

"Well Helga I got to go, when you have kids it's not an easy life, I'll see you later ok"

"yeah bye Phoebe"

Helga hung up the phone and lay on the couch to wait for Arnold's arrival.

Over at Phoebe's house Arnold was in the basement with Gerald, Arnold was telling him about Lila.

"So you are telling me that Lila was cheating on you" Gerald said

"yes, and the worst is that Helga knew about it and didn't tell me about it"

"Did she told you why she did it"

"She said that she was scare for our friendship"

"Do you believe her"

"Yeah I do, but it feel's like I can't trust her anymore"

"Just because of one little secret. You knew that you wouldn't have believed her anyways she was right not to tell you"

"Are you on my side or hers'

"Arnold you it's true, you practically worshiped the grounds that Lila walked on"

"Was I that bad in love with her"

"It was almost contagious, but think about it , it might be for the better if you guys broke up, maybe there's someone who's more than what Lila was for you"

"You really think so"

"Believe me"

"But you know that I won't be able to forger about Lila so fast"

"It's ok as long you find happiness the pain will go away"

"Should I go back to see Helga"

"It would be the wise thing to do. And ask her a question"

"Witch one"

"What's the real reason why she didn't tell you about Lila"

"Ok I will, thanks Gerald"

"Any time buddy"
