I DO NOT OWN THE RIGHTS TO HEY ARNOLD OR ANY OF THEIR CHARACTERS. CRAIG BARTLETT OWNS THE RIGHTS BUT I OWN THE STORY.
AN: Thanks for the support.
Arnold is the first one back into the room. He realizes that Helga is still in the bathroom. He decides that that they should have a movie night. He runs downstairs to the kitchen to pop some popcorn. He also gets chips, candy and drinks. As he makes his way upstairs and he sees Helga coming out if the bathroom.
"Hey Helga! Can you lend me a hand?" She runs over to him and grabs a couple of things.
"Looks like you need more hands", she giggles as she walks up to his room.
Arnold watches as she walks into his room and he likes what he sees and wants to see more of her but knows that can't happen right now.
"So I have a couple of movies that we could watch. Four Brothers, Ted, The Amazing Spiderman 1 and 2."
"I love all these movies. Thanks for making me feel at home Arnold. You're a great friend and I appreciate all that you're doing to make me comfortable." Helga was partly right. He made her feel at home and is an incredible friend but he sure didn't make feel comfortable. The sight of Arnold made her panties wet and her body ache for his touch.
Arnold smiled. He always loved to make her happen. But, he needed to control himself. He didn't want to get too happy around her. This was gonna be a longest night of his life and he knew it. Just don't think about her body. She's just my good friend that's it. Don't make this complicated. Trying to so calm was hard to do. He tried to fight those sexual urges until he could get some sleep. If he could even sleep tonight with his problem.
They began their movie night by watching Ted. Then there was Four Brothers and the amazing Spiderman movies. Helga fell asleep while in the middle of the amazing Spiderman 2. She was sleep with her head lying on Arnold's lap. He had to maneuver around her so that he wouldn't wake her. He picks her up and lays on in the bed. Staring at her for what seem like forever. Hoping that one day he will get the chance to be with this beautiful girl in front of him. For now that was just a distant dream.
(The Next Day)…
Helga jumped up forgetting where she was for a few minutes. She realized that yesterday wasn't a just a dream. It really happened and she was in so much pain from that fall she took. She looked over at Arnold. Her favorite boy is sleeping peacefully. Whatever or whoever he was dreaming about was his dream girl because Arnold had a grin on his face was one of delight. But she quickly noticed that one of his hands is down inside his pants. She blushed until cheeks were a bright red. She looks for an escape from the room and seen the latter that leads to the roof. When she got there, she saw the beautiful morning sky. It made her happy to feel alive. On the far end of the roof she had seen a grand piano. She loved to play on her spare time and when Bob wasn't trying to hurt her. He never really wanted her to play music for him. He's only attention was for Olga and all the things she did. It was like she was invisible to them. Suddenly, she had the urge to play something, something that would get all these feelings off her chest.
She said on the bench and thought of the perfect song to play…
I drove for miles just to find you and find myself
Only screams, all these voices in my head
You gave me strength, gave me hope for a lifetime
I never was satisfied
This time won't you save me, this time won't save me
Baby I can feel myself giving up, giving up
This time won't you save me, this time won't save me
Baby I can feel myself giving up, giving up
…
Arnold still was sleep. Having one of his usually dreams about Helga. In his dream, he is kissing her all over her neck and shoulders. He slowly begins to taking off her shirt and shorts. His hands are all over her breast under her bra. Still kissing her neck, he's pinching and pulling on her nipple. She lets out a moan that came deep in her throat. She wrestles her bra off as he continues to press his stiffens between them.
"Helga, slow down. I just gotta tell you something. It's important. Helga I-I lov…
"Hey Arnold! Hey Arnold! Hey Arnold! " He groans and eventually gets up to turn off his alarm clock. He notices that Helga is not in the bed. He begins to worry because he didn't know where she had gone. Until he heard as voice coming from the roof singing with so much passion, so beautiful and soft. He wasn't sure if it was Helga but he was going to find out. He climbed his ladder to the roof. The window was already open and he pushed his head out the window to see who was on the piano. He saw her playing a sad song he wonder if he could get into her mind and see what was going on in there. He sat and listened to the rest of the song.
Yes, I'm a beast and I feast when I conquer
But I'm alone on my throne, all these riches
I came this way, all this way just to say … eh
I'm giving up baby yes I'm giving up baby
Yes I'm giving up baby
This time won't you save me?
This time won't you save me?
...
Helga finished the song with tears rolling down her face. Arnold could tell that there was something wrong with her so he headed towards her. Her head was down so she didn't see him coming over to her. He sits on the bench next to her and gives her a hug holding her close to his chest. She cries into his chest as she holds him tight. She hopes that he holds her just a little longer. She never wanted this to end. She felt like he could take all her troubles away.
"Come on Helga. We should go into and we can talk about it if you like." Arnold finally said after a few minutes. She just nods and follows Arnold back inside to his room. They just sit on the couch for a while. No spoken words for a long time. Helga just leaned on his shoulder and cried. Arnold only put his arm around her to comfort her.
Hours later, Helga felt so much better but she knew Arnold would want to talk about what was going on with her. She knew it would be hard to do because she never had to share her feeling with anyone before. Just her journals. It's always been just her and her journals. Phoebe is her best friend and she doesn't know about her family problems. She needed to call her sometime today. Arnold decided to start off first because he wasn't too sure if Helga wanted to talk about her feelings right now.
"So, first things first, How did you sleep last night?'
"It was ok. I didn't think I would sleep all the way through. It feels good not to feel restless in the morning." She looks towards the flood because she knows she has to tell him sooner or later about everything that has happened to her.
Arnold looked sad. "So, is your situation at home worst then what I have I know so far?" She nods her head.
"Is it something that you can tell me or have it written down in your journals somewhere?" She thinks about it. She remembered that all of her "family problems" are in the dark blue book. She grabs it and hands it over to Arnold.
He begins to read the first few pages as she sees the anger and frustration on his face. Then it went from frustration to sickness when in minutes.
"What!? W-Why haven't you told anymore? Why isn't he in jail? He almost killed you and you told no more!" Arnold was pissed. He never knew how many times he could have lost Helga because of her evil father who might as well have been the devil.
She cries and says, "I didn't know who to turn to, Arnold. If I told the police my dad almost broken my neck by pushing me down the top of the stairs, he would make it his business to hunt me down and kill me for making a fool out of him. Please don't tell Arnold. I'm really scared for my life."
He knew who she meant the police and she looked sick at the possibility of Bob finding her.
"I'm… I'm sorry Helga. I won't tell. I just got so angry that he has been getting away with this for years but at least your safe here though and alive that's what matters. Maybe we should go out for some air. You hang with Phoebe and I will hang with Gerald. And maybe we can all meet up later?
"Sounds like a plan." Helga grabs her phone and texts Phoebe to meet her in the park in the next hour. Arnold called Gerald to see where they were meeting up at. They had so much to tell their friends, they didn't know where to begin.
AN: I will try my hardest to make these chapters longer.
