"Get off me you asshole!" I shouted. Trying to struggle out of his grip.
He pulled me towards an alley and turned me around to face him. He placed his hand on my mouth hushing my screams. Then he used his other hand to place it on my hip. I kept trying to squirm away but I couldn't move. He was inching his hand up my shirt.
His hands were near my bra straps and trying to undo the clasps that kept em in place. No no no! I can't let this happen, I never wanted anyone else but Arnold. I couldn't see his mouth but I could tell that in his eyes he thought it was amusing.
Well if I'm raped I'm definitely not giving him the satisfaction of seeing me cry. Hell no I'm going to do my best to fight back. When he leaned down towards my neck I bit his hand. I bit it so hard to where I tasted blood. I heard him scream yanking his hand away from me. That was when I kicked him in his shin then twice in his groin.
He moaned and just when I was about to run away he grabbed my ankle. making me fall in the the process, I ended up scraping my shin.
"Don't worry I'll forgive you for that Helga. I'll always forgive you..." The attacker said.
That's when I started to sweat and get really nervous. How in the hell did this guy know my name. My heart started to quicken as I felt him move his hand towards my thigh. I screamed but nobody came, I can't believe this is going to happen...
"Hey what the fuck are you doing to Helga?!" I heard someone shout near the alleyway.
"Arnold...?" I whispered.
He stood there in all his glory looking like a prince from a fairytale. My attacker looked up at Arnold and got up slowly. He was walking towards Arnold but stopped when he saw that Arnold had a bat hanging lowly from his hands.
"Get away from Helga and never come back or I'll have to kick your ass!" Arnold growled lowly.
My attacker didn't move an inch and continued to glare at Arnold. Though when Arnold raised his bat up high as if to take a swing. That's when my attacker decided to turn away from Arnold. He was almost gone before he turned to look at me.
"Oh don't worry Helga I'll come back for you and you'll finally be mine..." he then started to chuckle to himself.
"Yeah right fucking creep..." I muttered.
"Hey your okay Helga?" Arnold asked as he knelt down towards me.
"Ye-yeah I'm fine, thanks for asking." I said slowly.
"Helga I'm so glad I decided to go after you! I know you were against it but I couldn't help myself! I'm sorry!" Arnold explained.
I just shook my head and held my hand up for him to stop.
"I'm the one who should be apologizing. all you were trying to do was look out for me, yet I kept being a bitch about it. If you hadn't came then..." I trailed off.
"Helga I hate hearing you say that about yourself. Your far from ever being a bitch." Arnold whispered. His eyes intense.
I began to feel my throat tighten up and I started to shake. I'm not gonna cry, I'm not gonna -.
My thoughts were interrupted when I felt a pair of arms wrap around me. I tried to escape but Arnold just tightened his hold on me. He began to stroke my hair. He didn't say anything, we just sat there in silence while he held me closely.
I could smell his sweet forestry scent, he reminded me of nature. Arnold was so sweet and kind I didn't know how he could put up with me. That's when I felt a tear roll down my cheek. It started slow but as time passed on I began to cry harder. Clutching Arnold's shirt.
Arnold put his head on my forehead and continued to stroke my hair. His finger tips would brush my neck ever so softly. About ten minutes later and my tears started to dry up. I loosened my grip on Arnold's shirt.
"Feeling better?" Arnold smiled.
"Yeah a bit..." I whispered.
"I'm glad..." Arnold said softly.
"You know what's funny Arnold." I said.
"No what?" Arnold asked as he reached down to grab my hand to help me up.
"Is hearing you swear so much towards that creep." I smirked.
Arnold blushed from embarrassment putting a hand on his neck.
"Well the guy had pissed me off , I hate to see my friends hurt. Especially you..." Arnold said as he gripped my hand tighter. I didn't even realize that we were still holding hands. My heart skipped a beat.
Arnold gazed into my eyes. I wanted him to kiss me so bad but I just sat there and stared back. How I would have loved for us to stay like that forever.
"Well I should probably hurry and get you home huh?" Arnold said smiling.
"Yeah let's go Football head." I said walking ahead of him.
He ran up behind me and grabbed my hand. I looked up at him but he didn't say anything. I blushed and tried my best to look annoyed. I heard Arnold laughing quietly.
"And just what the hell is so darn funny." I asked.
"Ah ha ha, aw nothing Helga." Arnold said smiling.
Another 15 minutes later and we were in front of my doorstep.
"So thanks for walking me home. Even though I didn't ask for it." I said.
"Your welcome Helga, I'll see you at school. Bye Helga." Arnold said. He let my hand fall slowly from his grip.
"Yeah bye." I whispered.
I looked at his figure disappearing into the night as I sighed. I could still feel the tingles that rushed through my finger tips. I pulled out my locket and sighed to myself.
Oh Arnold how kind and benevolent you are. Always out there doing your best for people. Putting others first and never taking care of yourself. But I guess you wouldn't be the sweet man I know you to be. I clutched the locket to my chest.
I completely froze when I felt breathing on my neck. The next second my fist connected with someone's nose. I saw Brainy lying in the grass with his glasses broken. Oh my goodness I didn't mean to smack him.
But since I had that terrible encounter with that bastard. I kinda became paranoid. I mean can you blame a girl for being cautious!
"Olga hurry up! We need to talk now!" I heard my dad shout.
"Alright, alright I'm coming! Crimeny." I yelled.
I walked inside leaving Brainy on the grass. Though I did call Eugene to come and pick the little weirdo up. I can be a bitch sometimes. But at least I'm not a heartless one.
I walked in and looked around the house.
"Hello?" I asked.
"Were in the trophy room Helga!" Big Bob yelled.
I walked in and was surprised to see a handsome young man sitting in one of the chairs in my room. He had a piercing in his lower lip and had dark mascara under his eyes. He wore a ripped long black sleeved shirt and had spiky bracelets on his wrists.
Holy Fuck! This guy look as if he walked straight from a bad boys magazine.
"What's up." The guy said. His voice was deep and masculine, my gosh. But he could never compare to my Arnold.
"Hey. So who the heck is this?" I asked my mom.
"Well you tell her B." Miriam said slowly.
"He's a new worker that's going to be staying with us for a while." Big Bob said.
"Wait what?!" I yelled.
"What do you mean he's staying with us?!" I said.
"Well I wouldn't have approved but he's one of my best friends kid. Apparently he got kicked out of his old apartment and needed a place to stay." My dad said.
"And he couldn't have moved back in with his dad?" I said.
"Olga show some respect!" Big Bob responded.
"It's Helga dad! Besides you hardly even know the guy!" I snapped rolling my eyes.
"It's fine Mr. Pataki, I understand why she would feel uncomfortable." The stranger said cooly.
I looked at him, giving him a look like I don't need your help.
"Oh well I guess if your not offended then that should take care of it." Big Bob said.
"Wait where the hell is he sleeping?!" I yelled.
If they said my room I was going to literally move out right then. Money or not, it beats having to share a room with a complete stranger.
"Oh don't worry honey he's going to be sleeping in the living room. You guys should get to know each other. If you guys need anything I'll be in the kitchen." My mom said. Then she left out of the room and went towards the kitchen.
I growled inwardly and looked him up and down. As much as I hate to admit this, the guy has a nice figure. I guess I wasn't the only one checking someone out. I saw him smirking at me with his hands in his pocket.
"Your not to bad looking yourself." I heard him say.
I blushed, embarrassed that he caught me looking at him. I then rolled my eyes.
"Whatever you better just stay out of my way loser." I said turning my back on him.
He ended up grabbing my hand making me have to look at him. He got closer and deepened his voice.
"My names Ian by the way." He said.
"As if I care." I said before I yanked my arm out of his hand.
He ended up laughing at me. Humph the nerve of that ass! I'm just gonna ignore him. Just as I said this I heard him say.
"I think you and I are gonna get along just fine." Ian said as he continued to laugh.
I flipped him off and stormed up my stairs and shut my door. I can't believe that my parents agreed to this.
After we had finished eating I went upstairs to call Phoebe.
"Hello?" Phoebe asked.
"Hey Phoebs." I answered.
"Oh hey Helga how's it going? Are you feeling any better?" Phoebe asked me.
"Nah just wanted to tell you why I'm so pissed off right now." I said.
"Oh what happened?" Phoebe asked.
So I explained to her the whole situation of the new guy. Though I left out the part of me having that encounter with the stalker.
"Wow that's a lot of stuff to deal with. You think you'll be okay there with him?" Phoebe asked worriedly.
"Don't worry I'll be fine. But if he messes with me I don't think he'll be fine. " I stated jokingly.
Phoebe giggled and we continued to talk about other school and girl stuff. I even decided to tease her about Gerald. Of course she would just stutter and try to ignore me. It was so funny, I could tell she was blushing like a tomato just from her voice.
I heard the phone beeped.
"Hold on someone's on the other line."
I answered to Lila's sweet voice.
"Hello Helga, I wanted to check on you since you left so early." Lila asked
"Yeah I'm f-. " I started before I heard another beep from my phone.
Oh I almost forgot about Phoebe being on the other line. I told Lila to hold on and pushed the three way button. I was surprised to hear Rhonda's voice instead.
"Hey girl, how come you left without saying anything? I planned for us girls to go to the mall!" Rhonda shouted.
"You do realize it was 8:35 at night?" I said.
"You know it's never to late to go shopping! Especially for me." Rhonda retorted.
I rolled my eyes even though she couldn't see me.
"But we all know why she happened to be so busy." Lila said cheerfully.
"Oh yeah you need to tell us what happened!" Rhonda shouted.
"Geez calm down! What the hell are you guys talking about?" I asked agitated.
"Oh come on you can't possibly tell me that nothing happened between you and Arnold!" Rhonda said.
I blushed heavily and looked confused.
"Yeah you can tell us." Lila said.
"How in the hell did you guys even figure that-." I began.
Phoebe...
"Hold on you guys I'm getting Phoebe on the other line." I said.
"Hello?" Phoebe answered.
"Phoebe you darn blabber mouth!" I shouted.
"What did I do?" Phoebe asked innocently.
"What do you think?" I asked.
"Umm..." Phoebe trailed off.
Just then I heard another beep.
"Oh look someone's on the other line. Just a sec!" Phoebe said quickly.
I growled but waited. I heard Lila and Rhonda giggling in the background.
A few seconds later I heard Phoebe and Nadine on the other line.
"What up girls!" Nadine said.
We all replied to her.
"He he he oh Helga were all best friends. Besides we already know how much you care for Arnold." Phoebe stated.
"I do NOT care, you guys are evil when it comes to Arnold!" I shouted.
"You do realize were on the other line right?" Rhonda remarked sarcastically.
"Oh really, then I'm glad." I said.
"Were not that mean are we?" Lila asked.
"Well I know we're not, not so sure about Rhonda though." Nadine said.
We all started to laugh. Though Rhonda was not amused.
"Changing the subject! So how was it with Arnold? Did you guys finally kiss yet?" Rhonda asked.
"Oh my gosh you and Arnold kissed! Why didn't you tell me?!" Nadine squealed.
"I bet it was what Helga wanted to happen." Lila replied.
Phoebe giggled uncontrollably. See I told you they were evil.
"No we did not kiss and Lila I'm not even going to answer your question.
We all laughed even though I was annoyed. I just couldn't stay mad at them for too long. They begged me over and over again to tell them what happened. Eventually I just gave in.
"Aww I knew something had to have happened!" Rhonda said knowingly.
"I can't believe he held your hand the entire time!" Lila squealed.
"Or how said he wanted to see you later!" Nadine said.
"Which means he can't wait see you again and spend time with you!" Phoebe said enthusiastically.
"Oh my gosh you guys shut up!" I yelled blushing.
"What's all the fuss about?" I heard a deep voice say.
I swung around and got up from my bed.
"What the hell? Nobody comes in my room without permission!" I growled.
"Ooh someone's feisty. Come over here and make me, I like a challenge." Ian said closing the space between us.
I then noticed he didn't have any clothes on besides an underwear. He had a towel draped over his shoulder.
"W-what the hell?! Get out and put some clothes on!" I shrieked.
"Come on, don't tell me you don't want any of this." He said with a smirk.
"What I want is for you to get out or I'll have to kick your skinny ass!" I said.
"Skinny? I think you know my ass is anything but." Ian said.
As if to prove his point he turned around and bumped me with his butt. Literally bumped me! I ended up falling on the bed. I couldn't help myself I laughed.
"Okay asshole your gonna get it later." I said laughing.
"Ooh I'll be looking forward to it." Ian mocked.
He ended up running out of the room going towards the shower. Hmm maybe he won't be that bad...
"Helga!" I heard Rhonda say.
I was shocked, forgetting my girls were still on the phone. Oh my gosh, please tell me they didn't hear any of that!
"Y-yes...?" I asked nervously.
"You my friend have some explaining to do." Rhonda said.
