Normal POV
When she accepted the video call.

"Hey Rhonda."

"Hey I have Phoebe and Nadine here on the chat too."

"Hey Helga what happen to you?" phoebe asked.

"well I was with my dad and he…can we not talk about it I needed to talk to you guys anyway."

Arnold POV

I wanted to talk to Helga some more. I get up and head to he room. I raise my hand to know when I could hear her talking to someone.

"Helga what do you want to talk to us about?" I could recognize the voice it was Rhonda. That only means she is video chatting to Phoebe, Rhonda, and Nadine.

"Well Rhonda I was in my room. You all know that I will be moving in the boarding house. Well I was here the other night and I saw something out my window!"

"What was that Helga?" Nadine asked.

"Well I think I saw Lila out behind the fence with some other guy. I have a picture. I don't know how to tell Arnold what I saw."

"what was she doing with this other guy?" Rhonda asked.

"she was kissing him from what I could see!"

I looked at the door with a fist. I whispered, "I knew something was up and I did not want to believe that she would do to me."

I heard Helga say bye to her friends and she walked to the door.

"Arnold how long have you been standing here?"

"Long enough. I heard you saw Lila. I want to see the picture!"

She nodded and I walked into her room. She then handed me the photo.

"Is that Arnie! What the hell he is with Lila. How could the do this to me?"

"Arnold I don't know what to tell you?"

"Tell me how you really feel about me now please I need to know. I need to know and if I am right I will give her up I mean it. Please Helga I need good news or I will go off the deep end!"

"Arnold I…" She bit her lip. "Arnold I always have loved you I still do. You help me when I needed it and I love being here with you."

I grabbed her hand and hugged her. "Helga I have been waiting for you to tell me that for a long time. When I started to date Lila I could not stop thinking of you. I am going to break up with Lila." I kissed her on the cheek and I saw tears in her eyes. I took her up to my room and we cuddled in my bed all night.

Helga POV
when I woke in the morning I realized where I was. I was laying on Arnold's chest. He had one hand on my back and the other holding my hand. I still could not believe that he would believe me about Lila. I looked at the clock and it said 8:30. I jumped up and it woke up Arnold.

"I am sorry Arnold, but I have to get ready Olga will be here soon to pick me up ok."

"Well I hope you come back real soon and we can talk about Rhonda's party."

"I will."

I ran down to my room and got dressed. Shortly after that my hone rang.

"Baby sister I am outside come on lets go!"

"I will be right out."

I hung up the phone and ran out the door. When I got the car I saw Olga she was looking nice and she was determined to get me out of Bob's clutches.

"Helga I am going to tell you this. After I get daddy to let you to live with me I will be helping you out. I will send money to you because I know you cannot live on a small pay check. Don't worry I make plenty to help you out!"

"Olga you're the best!" I know in the past she and I did not see eye to eye. But, now I was happy because she noticed how Bob was to me. She knew I was living in hell with them.

When we got to the house I saw Bob and Miriam stand outside.

"Sorry Olga that the girl made you keep her there last night." Bob told her looking at me.

"Daddy it is alright. That is what I wanted to talk to you today." We all walked into the house and Olga told Bob that she wanted me to live with her.

She explained that she wanted to spend more time with me. it seemed to work because he got up, "I hope you will not need anything from me with the girl?"

"No daddy I can take care of her. We have gotten so close and I know she would listen to me. right Helga?"

"Yes Olga I would I know that we have not gotten along in the past, but I am willing to do what ever you said."

"Well then you can take her I guess."

"Thank you daddy! I will not let you down!" She looked at me and smiled, "Go get your stuff and we will go!"

I grabbed the rest of my things and it was not to much more. I had about two duffle bags of stuff and the last of my bedding. Olga helped get the last of it in the car. She said he goodbyes and we left to go back to the boarding house.

"Well Baby sister that went smoothly. Now here I will give you this to hold you off till you and I get paid I will send you some money next week. I will tell the school that you are living at the boarding house, but if they need anything to call me. if you are sick text me and I will call them ok. Remember that I love you and I am always here for you!"

She hugged me and handed me the money. Arnold was waiting for me outside and he then helped me get the last of my stuff to my room. I gave my sister a smile and I went inside.

Normal POV
Arnold helped get the last of the stuff up stairs. Looked at Helga she looked so happy to be where she is.

Arnold's Grandpa walked in, "Shortman told me everything. Welcome to the family!"

"Thank you and I do have the rent and some money for the security deposit." She handed him $250 and she had enough to live on till the end of the week.

She walked up stairs and Arnold's Grandpa stopped him, "Shortman her sister is pay her rent now and she don't have to give me money. I trust that you give this back to her and tell her."

"I will!"

He ran upstairs and explained to Helga what his Grandpa told him. He then handed the money back to her.

"Well that means I can start saving money!" she had a little lock box in one of her bags. She pulled it out. He looked and could not help to notice a bungle of money.

"Hey where did you get all that?"

"Well Olga always sent me money for my birthday and holidays. She knew Bob would not give me a dime. So I decided to save it I got enough to get this box then I saved the rest. So Bob could not get his hands on it. I only use it for emergencies."

"How much do you have saved up?"

"Well I have not counted it recently! I might say around $2,000. I just don't want to spend much. If I have to it is to buy clothes and school supplies. They are not cheap so at the beginning of every school year I end up with $1,000 after school fees and everything."

"You have been taking care of yourself years like this. Well you will save more with the new job now. Before you know it you will be able to afford college!" He laughed and ran his hand through his hair.

"How about this you get dressed and we go shopping. I need some food and last minute touches on my costume."

"Ok then it is a date!" He ran up stairs to his room and got dressed. Then they went out to have a day of fun.
