Hello everyone. Sorry it's been a little bit. Ill do better to one it two updates a week. July is not my favorite time. I lost two people I really care about one and two years ago in the beginning so sorry I haven't updated. I was debating on how this chapter was going to end up. By the way most chapters are going to be very sexual whether sex scenes or thoughts this fic is pure smut and language!
This Chapter is mainly Helga's point of view since last chapter was mainly Arnolds.
TimeWarp321: thank you again. He will turn to them eventually. he's also kind of embarrassed about it as well.
Guest: thank you for the review.
Lavendarrose02: thanks for your input. Ill add that couples.
Enjoy!

Chapter 7
Helga sat in silence on her way to Rhonda's. Rhonda was tapping her finger to Crawling from New Year's Day. Helga thought it was quite fitting even though it is a remake if the original. She was looking out the window watching the colors speed past the city.
"Look I don't want to bother you Helga, but what happened?" Rhonda asked again for the umpteenth time. Helga sighed and tuned up the song
"There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self-control I fear is never ending
Controlling, I can't seem
To find myself again, my walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence)
(And I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before, so insecure" Helga started to him the song and felt tears threatening to fall this song really hit home today.
"Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Discomfort endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I'll stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem
Helga started to slowly sing aloud to the lyrics
To find myself again, my walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence)
(And I'm convinced that there's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before, so insecure" by the time the song ended her tears were running down her face.
"Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real
Crawling in my skin
These wounds, they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real
(There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface)
(Consuming) Confusing what is real
(This lack of self-control I fear is never ending)
(Controlling) Confusing what is real"
She was so confused with Arnold and her home. she didn't know what to do. She had to somehow get her school stuff from her house. Helga knew she had to face the truth of what her life has become, but not today. She didn't even realize they were parked and Rhonda was rubbing her back.
"Oh, Rhonda I fucked everything up" she said on a sob
"Sweetie I'm sure it's not that bad." Said Rhonda reassuring.
"I mean I know your dad is an ass…."
"No! not him. I don't care about that." She said in a whisper. Rhonda looked at her confused.
"Hey what do you say we get in the house get a bottle of wine out and hang out in the hot tub. Well play hooky tomorrow and sleep in and watch movies?" Rhonda asked. Helga looked at her blankly and blinked.
"Umm. Yeah. That sounds great. Really great. But I don't have a suit." Said Helga rubbing her arm nervously.
"Oh, don't worry about that. I have extra, or you can use an old short" she said waving away her concerns. Helga hugged Rhonda and they got out. Helga was shocked as she stood in what was going to be her room. The room was huge. About ten times bigger than her old room. She had a giant four poster bed, her own balcony, a desk and computer, a walk-in closet and her own giant bathroom. Helga squealed when she saw the jacuzzi soaker bath tub.
"Wow" said Helga in awe spinning around. She landed on her bed and Rhonda laid next to her.
"you can stay as long as you want." Said Rhonda. Helga turned on her side and her hand held up her head.
"Thanks Rhonda. Really. You have no idea how much I appreciate it." Said Helga
"no worries dear, besides my parents are rarely home with them traveling for work and all." Said Rhonda on a shrug. She sat up and started to leave.
"Why don't you take a bath and relax and let's say in 2 hours meet me downstairs." Said Rhonda as she closed the door leaving nor room for debate. She looked at her phone and saw
20 missed calls
15 text messages
15 voicemails.
Helga sighed and turned on her voicemail. Serval frim Arnold. One from Olga and the rest from phoebe. She sighed and deleted them (except for armloads, she'll re listen to those later. She then read her messages a few from Arnold to say call him and some from a very worried phoebe. Just then her phone vibrated
"football head" said the caller id. Helga stared at it when she saw it change to missed call. She sighed and called him back before she calls phoebe.
"Helga!? Are you ok, where are you?" said Arnold frantically.
"Hey football head, I'm fine, I'm at Rhonda's. Don't worry I won't go home." Said Helga shyly
She heard him exhale a breath.
"ok. Look I'm sorry. Your right I was being a dick…"
Arnold stop. Its ok. I get it I really do. Just can we have that talk another time?" she interrupted and said very fast. She heard him sigh and can picture him sitting on his bed shaking his hair as his hand runs down his unruly hair to his beautifully handsome fast. She smacked herself and mumbled Helga get ahold of yourself.
"Helga re you ok?" he asked on concern. Helga started blinking he's so sweet. Of course, he's sweet he's Arnold DOI. She told her self
"yeah I'm fine football head.
"look can we redo today? Maybe tomorrow hangout and maybe get something to eat." He asked nervously
"umm I don't know I kind of have plans with Rhonda tomorrow." She said
"oh" he said, and line got quiet Helga bit her lip what am I thinking Arnold wants to spend time with me say something you idiot.
"what about the next day?" said Helga in a rush.
"yeah that works just fine." He said
"soo." Hey, said at the same time.
"well, I gotta go Arnoldo I need to call phoebe before I go in the hot tub with Rhonda." She said and hung up. Helga laid down on the bed are rang up Phoebe.
"Hey" said Helga
"Where have you been? Everyone's been so worried…" said phoebe frantically.
"Phoebe..." Helga tried
"...that you didn't show up for rehearsal. And neither…"
"Phoebe"
"did Arnold. We called a million times …"
"PHOEBE!" Helga yelled
"…"
"Look phoebes I had... problems so Arnold gave me a great day to get my mind off of it." Said Helga thinking that's basic
"What do you mean?" asked phoebe
"I have had some pretty bad family problems." She said on a sigh
"Clarify Helga"
Helga sighed.
"Look I'm at Rhonda's for a while." Aid Helga
"Helga what's going on?" asked phoebe
" I can't right now phoebes. I'm sorry."
".." Helga waited on bated breath for her response.
"What do you mean "you can't phoebes"? I'm supposed to be your best friend. How can you not tell me something that apparently Rhonda AND Arnold know that I don't?" Demanded phoebe with a tight voice. Helga sighed loudly,
"For a while now, Bobs been angrier lately. And I'm just around." Said Helga. It was quiet for a minute
"Are you at Rhonda's now?" she asked.
"Yes" Helga whispered. Then she heard the click of the phone. Helga threw it at the pillow wondering how she can fuck everything up so easily. She stood up and went and took a shower. When she got out Phoebe was sitting on the bed.
Helga came out with a towel wrapped around her and drying her hair when she spotted Phoebe.
"Hey" said Helga.
Phoebe looked her up and down and saw the marks.
"Oh Helga" said phoebe as she ran up to her and hugged her.
"How come you didn't tell me? I would have helped." Said phoebe on a sob
"I didn't want to ruin your perfect world. Besides its been going on a while." She said rubbing phoebes back trying to comfort her phoebe stepped back
"How ,long?" she asked Helga sat on the bed and sighed as Rhonda walked in.
"Umm about the end f fifth grade." She whispered
"WHAT!" Phoebe and Rhonda both yelled.
"Yeah I came home from school and bob Lost some big client and I walked in the door and talked back and that's the first time he smacked me. He apologized and started being loving father. Then a couple's weeks later it kept happening. He stopped apologizing and it became a regular thing. Especially if I didn't have dinner made for him." She said they both just looked at her.
"So how did Arnold find out?" asked phoebe
"ummmm. Well… he grabbed my arm once and saw me flinch he questioned a lot of things after that. When he came to stop by a couple weeks again and bob answered he saw me running up the stairs with a black eye. Now today Bob was in a rage and I was late for rehearsal. I texted him if he could come get me. About an hour later he showed up. Bob gave him hell about me. I ran out with Arnold and we ran with bob yelling at me not to come back." Said Helga as she hung her head tears spilling. Damnit, she thought she hated crying and this is becoming a regular thing for her. She was a little taken back when both Rhonda and Phoebe hugged \her tight.
"Your safe now and we won't let anything happen. You know your always welcome here." Said Rhonda as she rubbed her hair trying to comfort her.
"You are always welcome to stay with me to." Said phoebe as she patted Helga's back.
"I love you guys" said Helga on a sniff.
"I honestly didn't think anybody cared. I mean I know Arnold does but its Arnold he would do that for anyone." She said.
"Well I personally want to go in that hot tub." Sad Helga as she stood up to go get changed. Phoebe and Rhonda both nodded.
"Phoebe there's a spare room and ill go find a suit for you." Said Rhonda leaving the room.
"Hey Helga, can I stay in here with you?" asked phoebe not wanting to leave her.
"Yeah Phoebes." Said Helga as she walked out proudly showing her bruises and she walked out linking arms with phoebe heading to the hot tub.
The next day Arnold woke up and laid in bed staring up at the celling. It was Monday.
"Arnold honey are you up yet? Your going to be late for school." Said Stella
"Yeah, I'm up mom" said Arnold.
He sighed and got up he grabbed his stuff and went to take a shower. When he was done Gerald was already down stairs eating breakfast and talking to his parents.
"Hey man" said Arnold as he went to do his signature shake.
"Where's Phoebes?" asked Arnold looking around.
"She said she wasn't feeling well and was staying home today, man she must be really sick for her to mis her perfect attendance." He said and didn't notice Arnold frowning. I wonder of this has to do with Helga he thought.
"YO Arnold!" yelled Gerald as he pushed hm.
"Get your head out of the clouds we gotta go." He said
"Thank you for breakfast Mrs. Shortman." Said herald politely.
"Gerald how many times do I have to tell you call me Stella." Said Stella as she went to clean the kitchen.
"Arnold Dear?" she asked poking her head out of the kitchen.
"Yeah mom?" said Arnold grabbing his bag and finishing his toast.
"Invite Helga over for dinner this week." She said. Arnold froze half way and Gerald chuckled.
"He. H. Helga?" squeaked Arnold.
"Yes, Helga. Oh, I know you guys can rehearse. Your father and I will be you audience." She said excitedly.
"...Umm... I'll ask her, but not promising anything." He mumbled.
"Ok sweetie have a good day." She said and kissed the top of his head.
"Man, oh man I ant wait to see hell girl's reaction to dinner with the rents. Not to mention the rehearsing in front of the." Said Gerald laughing he started to grab his stomach when Arnold shoved him
"Shut up man" said Arnold turning pink.
"Oh man can I be there? I want to see how this goes." He said still laughing Arnold shoved him again.
"I mean its going to be awkward doing the play with the kissing scenes and not to mention the semi sex scenes, but to do this is front of your parents with a girl you can't stand. Priceless." Said Gerald full on hysterics
"Yeah, barley stand" he mumbled looking down at his shoes with a frown ignoring Gerald all together now.
Twenty minutes later they got to the school. He was looking around at Helga wanting to apologize, but he never saw her. This is strange all three of them aren't here. He thought he'd wait till English. And she never showed.
You ok? Arnold sent a text to her. He didn't have to wait long
"yeah I'm fine" Helga
"are you at home?" he said with a worried frown
"Mr. Shortman. Care to explain what could possibly more important then this class? Asked his teacher. His head shot up and he put his phone back in his pocket.
"Nothing sir. Just looking up about the hamlet play." He said in a panic
"Well, I'm glad your taking an interest in literature but please focus on the lecture. Now where is Miss Pataki?" he said
"Sir she's… sick." Said Arnold
"I was talking to her at lunch she was very sick." He said trying to over.
"Well Mr. Shortman. Since you and Miss. Pataki seem so close you can send her todays assignment." He said going back to the board. Arnold sighed and tried to pay attention. When he felt his phone vibrate he looked ta the teacher and made sure he wasn't looking
" Nah I'm at Rhonda's." She said. Rhonda's? So, they are all together then? He thought. Well he must drop off her homework maybe I can talk to her then.
Riiing
"Mr. Shortman come see me after school." He said looking at his papers.
"Yes sir" he said in a nervous voice.
