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.

My life began with my parents gone,
with nothing but an umbrella,
to cover the showering loss.
Life smiled upon me that day,
when a little girl with a pink bow,
looked my way.

Everyday you annoyed me with no end, throwing paper pieces distracted my silent pain. Not knowing back then how good your attention was. Everyday instead of sadness,
I would focus on your eyes.

Little by little you began to steal my heart,
everything in me being trapped by your mind.
All those times I felt sad,
you were always there in my path.

Year after year you took over my heart,
everything you gave me, your words,
your push, your staring eyes,
even when you yelled at me,
move it Football head were treasures in my life.

All those times you gave me a kiss,
you took breath from my heart,
It was becoming so addictive,
tasting your love.
I must confess all this time,
your lips are the only ones,
I have caress in my life

No matter where I was,
you were always first in my heart.
Having your touch, your smile,
hearing your voice.
Even your criticism at me,
were miracles in my life.

I love you, I always have,
You're what I hold dear in my life.
Stay strong, for you are the only one,
that can fill the gap in my heart.

Your love completes my heart,
I love you too forever
Arnold, Football head.

By the end of the poem Helga began to shed tears. "Oh my Arnold, I can't believe you wrote a poem about us my heart beats only for you." Helga kissed the poem and pressed the book against her chest.

That morning in school after last period class Andrew walked towards Arnold in the hallway.
"Hey Arnold."
"What do you want?" Replied Arnold still walking to his next class without even turning to look at Andrew.
"I need to talk to you after school." Replied Andrew.
"Talk?..Forget it." Replied Arnold looking very serious.
"Look I saw Helga the other day at the hospital and there's something you should know about..." As Andrew was saying. Arnold snapped and looked at Andrew with anger in his eyes, in a split second he grabbed Andrew by the collar and pushed him against the lockers.
"Why did you go to see Helga!?" Yelled Arnold.
Andrew was able to pulled Arnold off of him and pushed him away.
There where only a few students that saw their encounter.
"Look I don't want to fight! but there's something you must know! Meet me today after school by the track, you can either show up or not, that's up to you!" said Andrew upset as he left before a teacher saw them arguing.

As the day continue, Arnold couldn't help to wonder why Andrew went to see Helga, for what purpose. The thought of Andrew being in the same room as his precious injured Helga made his blood boiled. Arnold didn't care why Andrew wanted to talk to him, he care to know why Andrew was at the Hospital in the first place and who took him there. Then he thought Phoebe.

Arnold talked to Gerald in private during lunch and told him what Andrew had told him that morning.
"Did you know Gerald that Phoebe took him to see Helga?"
"No man, I didn't know. But I'm sure she took him with the best intentions."
"I don't care about best intention. He shouldn't have gone to see here." Arnold was upset and nervous.
"Calm down Arnold, look I'll talk to my girl, now just meet with Andrew after school and see why he went to see Helga in the first place."
Said Gerald trying to calm him down.

Arnold was serious looking down, for him Helga was at her most vulnerable at her stage and having Andrew in her room was unacceptable. He obviously didn't like Andrew and meeting with him to talk was a challenge.

The last bell of the day rang and Arnold hurried to the track to get their meeting over with, he had basketball practice that day and he didn't want to be late for it. Besides he didn't tolerate seeing Andrew and especially after he saw him kissing his precious Helga.

Arnold was waiting for Andrew by the running track. "So you figure you want to know what I'm going to say." Said Andrew as he walk up to Arnold.
"I don't care about that, I care about my Helga. Why did you went to see her and when!?"
"Look Arnold I like Helga and..."
"That's the wrong way to start a conversation with me!" Shouted Arnold
"Shit, why is it so complicated to talk to you. Your just going to have to listen to what I'm going to say. I care about her and when I heard about what happen to her, that she was at the hospital I just had to see her."
"For what!?" Asked Arnold looking at Andrew like his worst enemy.
"I was worried I wanted to see how she was. And Phoebe told me what you did for her, you saved her life."

Arnold change his face impression. "There's nothing I wouldn't do for her."
"I know..." Replied Andrew
"So, is that what you needed to talk to me about." Arnold was serious.
"Actually no....you know Helga needs you"
"I don't know about that, she's been talking more to you this past couple of weeks and than I messed it up with her at the movies, she hates me."  Said Arnold looking down not wanting to say it.
"I don't think so, she was very upset that day after she argued with you."
"How do you know."
"Because I went after her, after she took off running at the movies."
Arnold's eyes widened "You bastard, you couldn't leave her alone for one minute!"
"Am I really the bastard. You're the piece of shit that had me check and monitored!"
Arnold got closer to his face "Damn right, I had you check! I never trusted you around my Helga, you just wanted to steal her from me and...." Arnold looked down and stepped away from Andrew. He took a deep breath and turned his back on him. "And... you succeeded."

Andrew looked at Arnold confused. "What the hell are you talking about?" Asked Andrew.
Arnold turned around to look at Andrew again.
"You know damn right what I'm talking about, you got closer to her, help her with her mother and all the problems she had and than you.... kissed her." Arnold looked extremely sad, like he was defeated. 
"I didn't kissed her." Replied Andrew
"I saw you!" Shouted Arnold
Andrew look down and nodded "No I didn't."
Arnold stared at Andrew trying to comprehend what he was saying. "I wanted too, but right before I could touch her lips, she said... her heart belong to someone else. And that's when you pulled me off of her."

Arnold turned around and placed his hands on his head. "I'm such a dumb ass!"
"You are a dumb ass but....Helga's heart belong to you, so you must be doing something right with her.... than two days ago when I saw her at the hospital, I was holding her hand talking to her and.... she started to move her hand and she spoke."

Arnold turned to face Andrew again with his eyes widened and happy. "She did, her hand moved! What did she said."
Andrew look down in disappointment. "She said" Andrew took a deep breath. "Arnold I love you."
Arnold's eyes where wide open with amazement.

Gerald had walked up to Andrew from behind. "Mmm,Mmm,Mmm, Man this is worse than I thought. I decided to check on you guys to make sure you weren't beating each other up. But I see there's a lot of love in the air." Said Gerald laughing.

Arnold was so happy he felt like he has received the best gift yet. "Thank you Andrew, I take back everything wrong I said about you and I'm so sorry for grabbing you like that and even when I punch you, from now on you have my respect." Said Arnold while shaking his hand.
"Yeah. Yeah. Just take good care of Helga she deserves the best and treat her right." Replied Andrew looking serious.

"Hey Arnold, Phoebe just told me the nurse called her to tell her, Helga is conscious and talking."

"She is!!! Tell the coach I have to missed practice but I'll try to make it to the game!" Said Arnold has he took off running.

"He really does love her." Said Andrew
"You have no idea how much." Replied Gerald.
"Now, what were you telling him?" Asked Gerald confused. Andrew just rolled his eyes.

Notes:
So what do you think about the poem? I tried my best to do a poem base on Arnold's feelings from dealing with the loss of his parents to meeting Helga and falling in love with her.
In my story his parents left when he was a baby to finished their last mission at the jungle and they were never found. So the jungle movie never took placed.

Also I just loved how the poem Arnold wrote was not revealed till Helga read it. At first I was going to post it when Arnold had read the poem to her but I thought this way was more special.

Andrew had a lot of patience with Arnold, than again Andrew is very special, he's like the Angel of the story, I'll say more about his character later. And Gerald lol I wanted this chapter to end with something funny and Gerald arrived just in time. LOL.
