Twenty- four hours passed since Phoebe and Andrew when to see Helga. Arnold was very busy with test that day and basketball games, but even with his busy schedule he's mind and heart was with Helga. Phoebe told Arnold how Helga's father approved to have Phoebe's cell number has a second contact in case if something change with Helga's condition, Arnold felt more at ease knowing, Phoebe will let him know if Helga got better or worst.

That night the nurse who had the night duty notice Helga moving like she was going to wake up. She immediately call the doctor...
"Helga, Helga" the Doctor called out to her.
Helga slowly open her eyes, "Where am I?" She asked disoriented.
"Helga I'm Doctor Beckett, you been in the hospital for the past three days, how are you feeling?"
"I'm thirsty." She Said.
"Nurse bring her ice." Said the Doctor
"I want water."
"Yes, Helga but you have to start with ice first, then water."

The Doctor called Helga's Dad immediately. To tell him Helga was conscious and talking, the Doctor said he could see her tomorrow morning.

The next day the day nurse Samantha rushed over to Helga's room.
"Helga you're conscious congratulations."
"Who are you?" Helga asked confused.
"I'm Samantha your day nurse, you been at the hospital for four days now. You had all sorts of visitor during the time you been unconscious."

"Yes the Doctor and the night nurse told me what happen."

"Yes, you are very blessed to be alive and well. Did the Doctor tell you how Arnold saved your life?" Asked the nurse intrigued.

Helga's eyes widened "What!Arnold!"
"Yes your boyfriend!" Said the nurse
"My what!" Helga was very surprised.
"Your boyfriend Helga, don't you remember him. He pulled you out of the burning car and held you tight in his arms to keep you warm while he applied pressured on your wound. Than he was here early the next morning after the accident. He was reading to you and holding your hand it was so sweet... you can tell he really loves you."
Helga was trying to remember the accident and remembered seeing Arnold trying to pulled her out of the burning car.
"Oh. Arnold...." Said Helga with love in her eyes.
"Yes Arnold your boyfriend, you remember him now." Said the nurse staring at Helga.
"But....my boyfriend?" Helga was confused.

"Oh wait I have something for you."
The nurse stepped outside the room for a couple of minutes and return with the pink book.

Helga looked stunned when she saw the nurse with her pink diary.
"How did you get my diary?" Helga Asked
"Arnold gave it to me for safe keeping, don't worry I didn't read it. He said to make sure you get it once you woke up." The nurse gave Helga the pink diary and check Helga's vital signs.
"I see you're excited your heart is beating strongly."
Helga's cheeks blushed "I still don't understand why Arnold had my diary, last thing I remember, I had my diary in my gym bag."
The nurse was puzzled too. "Oh wait, I remember seeing your friend the one with glasses carrying a burned gym bag. Maybe she left your diary here by mistake."

Helga was quiet holding to book, trying to understand what happen the last couple of days.
"I'll give you some privacy" Said the nurse as she stepped outside her room.

Oh my sweet Football head, how much suffering have I cause you. You saved my life...
But did you read my diary? Helga thought
She open the book and check each page till she reached the last page where she had writing the last poem for Arnold and on the next page to it it was what it looked like a poem, from Arnold.
Helga exhaled deeply, her eyes were wide open she couldn't believe what she was seeing, an actual poem from Arnold on her diary.

She was so excited and at the same time afraid to read the poem. She began to read slowly.

Helga you're my greatest treasure,
I will always protect.
