Ok, I decided to update this before I have to go back to school. I've been off for the last 2 weeks (Fall Break!) and...well, that'll end now. If you're wondering why I get a 2-week fall break, I started school back on August 4th.
Flute-Player14- Thanks, and I'm pretty in-tune with Helga. This may sound a little weird, but there are times when I'm writing her parts where I can feel exactly what she is. Also, I'm a writer that usually doesn't change the characters much. If I do change one...it's just that. It's usually only 1 or maybe 2 that has had a dramatic change.EL CHUPACABRA- It's definitely something new! And that's what makes it so interesting. If you're hooked now, you definitely will be later!
Number6- Well here's your chance to find out what happens in this chapter. Will Helga be happy? Who knows, she might not be... just have to wait and see really. (I know it may seem like she will be, but believe me, I'm quite a surprising author sometimes...especially with my longer stories. With my stories, sometimes it's hard to guess what'll happen next...or guess it correctly.) It's ok if your English is "bad". I looked at your profile...even though you don't have a bio written, I did notice that some of your favorite stories are in Spanish. So I figured that you were originally Spanish speaking, right? Also, you might really like my two other stories "A Lone Stormy Night" and the sequel "A Lone Stormy Night II"

-Flashback-A Week Before Today, 5 Years Ago-
----
Helga was standing alone on the bridge in the park, over the creek. It was her favorite place in the park, maybe even world, to think, and well, so much was filling her mind at the moment. It's been months since the "FTi incident" and since then, Helga hasn't said much of anything to anyone. She seemed constantly depressed and shy, yet aggressive towards anyone who tried to get close or who just bugged her. Anyway, it was dark, and raining at an average to heavy rate. Helga's pink dress and pale body was getting totally soaked, but she could care less. Suddenly, it stopped raining...but only on her! She looked up and noticed a familiar blue umbrella...
"Hey Helga...are you ok?" asked the figure behind her. She shook her head no. "Is something wrong? Well, ok, obviously something's wrong...care to share?" Again, she shook her head no, still not looking at the figure behind her.
"Well, I've been looking for you really." Now, Helga looked at the figure. "...you see" The figure sighs, "I'm gonna be leaving next week...to San Lorenzo..." Helga rolled her eyes knowing it's almost winter break "...and I might not be coming back."
Helga looked shocked. Her eyes widened and a slight look of horror was shown on her wet face. She didn't want to believe what she just heard. Never did she want to hear anything like this. Ever.
"You're the first person I've told, if that means anything. And well, I want to invite you to come to the airport next week to see me off. It'd really mean a lot to me if you and my friends were there. Please come Helga...I'll be leaving at noon." Said the figure with a hint of sadness.
Helga stared at the figure, her bottom lip twitching. The figure rested a hand on her shoulder, smiled, and started walking off...but came back a moment later.
"Oh, here. You can have this." The figure said handing her the umbrella. "Don't want to get sick now do we? Hope to see you next week..." and left
Helga stood there, almost paralyzed, clutching the now closed umbrella close to her. Tears welling up in here eyes, but not falling.
'This is all a dream...some horrible nightmare! ...please let this be just a dream...' Helga thought.-
She was quick to find out that this wasn't a dream. Come the following week, everyone, but Helga, was at the airport...
"Well...take care buddy. I'll miss you man." said Gerald
"I'll miss you too Gerald." The figure stated
"See ya." Stinky said trying to keep a smile on his face, but failing miserably.
"Boy howdy, I never thought I'd see the day...take care." added Sid
Minutes later
"Bye...I'll miss you." Came Lila's voice, hugging the person before her
"I think everyone will miss me. But...well, this is something I've always wanted to do." The figure said to her.
"I understand." She said sadly
Phoebe walks up and hugs the figure before her. "Bye...I'm going to miss you terribly!" she said trying not to cry, but failing miserably.
"Same here. Take care of Gerald."
"I will, and I'm sorry Helga didn't come."
"Don't worry about it...I'm sure she was busy." Knowing that probably wasn't true
"Maybe..."
The figure Picked up his carry on bag and proceeded to the gate. Before entering, he turned around and took one last look at his friends. A weak smile came to his face. Then he turned around...but stopped. There, standing behind a pillar was none other than Helga G. Pataki. They stared at each other for a moment. Tears were slowly trickling down her face. Sorrow shown on Helga's face was all to clear. Then she mouths these final words. (A/N: Mouthing is speaking without any sound)
"I Love You...goodbye." Helga mouthed
Helga closed her eyes and let more tears fall. He watched her for a moment...but she then ran off in tears, unnoticed. No one knew she was there, no one except him. He sighed, and looked at the floor for a moment. Then, turned and proceeded through the gate to the plane...and was gone...forever...

-End of Flashback-

'Why did he have to leave me? Why did he leave period?! (Sigh) Stop blaming yourself Helga...there's nothing you can do. You're over him...have been for 3 years now. Stop living in fantasy and live in reality! This is reality...I have no boyfriend, nor friends, unless you'd like to count Phoebe, my parent's are both neglectful drunks who don't notice I exist or even care, I'm feared and hated by everyone, I'm a 15 year old depressed and hopeless girl with no life...hmm what else? Ah yes, I'm known throughout Hillwood High as "The Bitch in Black". Heh, some reality. Better yet, some life I have. Someone up there must really hate me. Either that or I'm destined to live a lonely, pointless life full of misery and despair. Oh well, I've make it 15 years, I think I can manage a few more.' Helga thought to herself.
She continued to sit there absentmindedly, while the baseball game finished. Chalk up another victory for Wolfgang...
