While it's snowing,hold me tight

What we have common is pain

Helga makes an angry expression as her cell phone rang for the twelfth time that day."You know what,I'm sick of this!"she mumbles to herself. She snatches her phone up and harshly answers"What do you want,Football Head?!" "You know exactly what i want. I want to talk to you. I want to know how you got that bruise on your cheek."Arnold replies serious."Well I don't wanna talk about it!"Helga lashes back."Why are you being so defensive? I just want to talk!"Arnold says,his nerves quickly dissolving."I'm not being defensive,I just don't wanna talk. What,you're going to force me to speak? Sure,that'll be the day Football Head!"Helga says. Arnold last nerve dissolves."You know what,I'm coming over. Be ready Pataki!"Arnold exclaims. Helga taken aback but quickly regains her composure and lashes back."No,you be ready. You're not going to force me to do anything!" There was silence."Hello?"she asks. She then realizes Arnold hung up before she got to reply. Helga shakes her head. She wasn't going to get ready,she didn't need to. She wore a white and pink hoodie with simple blue jeans,sneakers,and small gold microphone earrings. She lays on her bed,writing in her journal.
Before she knew it a small knock is on her bedroom door."Come in!"she calls,assuming it was her mother asking her to help find her glasses that were clearly already on her face. But instead of the woman who gave her life,her lifelong love,Arnold Shortman,walked through her door. Shock crosses her face."How did-" "Your mom let me in."Arnold says,interrupting her. Helga backs away on her bed,gripping it tightly."You aren't taking me."she says,warning him."Oh yes I am."he replies and picks Helga up bridal style,walking out with her."Put me down!"she exclaims,pounding in his neck and back. Arnold ignores her complaints and manages to get to the snow-covered park. He sits her down on a bench to see her face in a pout as if she was a small child."Now are you going to talk?"he asks. Helga just looks away,scowl still covering her face. Even though she wasn't going to admit it,Helga was freezing.'Why didn't he grab my coat while he was at it?!'she thinks annoyed. Arnold sits in front of her."Please?"he asks. Helga looks into his emerald eyes.'He really does care,doesn't he?'she thinks. She looks down and sighs. She looks back at him and says"Okay,but you can't tell ANYONE about this talk. Not even Gerald." Arnold nods his head."Good."she mumbles and is quiet for a few minutes."It all started in February of eighth grade. My father lost a client and was so enraged that when I came home he started beating me. Miriam just watched and didn't help me at all. That's what made me grow to hate her;I mean,what woman doesn't try to protect her child,the human she created? Anyway,he decided that beating me would be the outlet of all his anger. And I mean ALL of it. From the smallest things of loosing five dollars,to loosing an important client,I was his outlet. Still am,to be exact. I haven't told anyone because he threatened to kill me and anyone who tries to help me. I've gotten used to his abuse,but it still hurts sometimes. I just wish I could save myself from this,and I will,but it's just going to take some time." Arnold stares in amazement at the beautiful girl in front of him. She has gone through so much,all alone. Now that he thought about it,Helga and him had drifted away around the beginning of freshman year. By time it was sophomore year,they hadn't exchanged a word in at least the slightest. But it was time to focus on the now."I could help you. I can help save you. All you have to do is just let me in,let me help."he says. Helga's eyes widen."N-no Arnold,I can't, I can save myself. I'm okay,I promise."she objects."Helga everyone needs a little help. Just accept my help please."Arnold pleads. Helga then gets annoyed,eventually turning into anger fueled by hurt."What would you even know about helping me?!"she spits with venom. Arnold is taken aback and stays quiet."You don't know what it's like to help a depressed,abused person. You don't know what it's like helping someone going through hardship! You can't even put yourself in my shoes to see what it's like!"Helga stands up off the bench,face red."Which is what people are supposed to do when they help depressed people! But all your life you have had it easy with barely any stress! Sure school,but you have a nice loving extended family! You can come home to a nice warm dinner and people to help you! I don't have that! I don't have love...and I won't ever...."Helga yelling turns into quiet sobs and tears roll down her cheeks as she collapse back onto the bench. Arnold stares at Helga in shock but his senses finally come back and he comforts Helga."It's ok to cry Helga,you can cry. And believe it or not,I don't have the perfect life. My parents died when I was three,I have to take care of my grandparents now,the borders argue all the time,and I feel all alone too. I understand my situation isn't as bad as yours,but we all are in the same life on different levels dealing with different devils. All we can do is try to help each other up as much as we can."Helga cries more as she realizes this."I-I'm sorry Arnold. I-I've been so selfish!"she sobs."Its okay Helga. But my point is: A fatal attraction is common,and what we have common is pain." Arnold needed to say nothing more,Helga understood. She sniffles and wipes her eyes."Come on,let's go. It's freezing out here."Arnold takes off his jacket and wraps it around Helga. He holds her close as they walk through the high snow. They finally arrive at her doorstep. Helga turns the knob,but then stops. She turns to Arnold."I know it's been a while,so could we start off as friends again?"she asks,voice full of hope. Arnold looks into her sky-blue eyes."Yea."he breathes out. Helga smiles and turns to go into her house."Bye Arnold."the door shuts. Arnold stands outside her door for a few moments,snowflakes swirling around him. He smiles as he knows this is the start of a brighter future.
