Arnold felt such a horrible feeling in his heart, he had to call Helga even if it was in the middle of the night. He wanted to make sure she was okay. The dream felt so real to him, it was like it was trying to tell him something.

Could the dream have been a premonition of something that will happen? or maybe it was just a horrible nightmare. I can't imagine Helga hurt like that, my beloved Helga. Thought Arnold.

Arnold called Helga on the cell phone...

Her cell ring and ring. "Come on Helga pick up." Nothing she didn't pick. Arnold decided to call again. The phone was ringing and ringing. Arnold's heart was raising he had a hard time breathing. "Please Helga be okay pick up" Arnold told himself terrified.

"Hello" Helga's voice sounded low and broken, it was the most beautiful sound he could hear.

"Helga, my love are you okay?" He asked desperately.

"Mmmm... Football ball head.... I'm fine... what time is it?" she asked half sleep.

"Oh thank God, I was horrified of you being hurt." Said Arnold sounding more relief.

Helga was quiet on the phone.

"Helga...Helga?"

"What football head I'm trying to sleep?!" she sounded tired and a bit frustrated.

"I'll let you sleep, I just wanted to make sure you're okay."

"Mmmm... yes, yes I'm okay now sleep Football head."

Arnold felt much better knowing Helga was save "Good night Helga."

Helga began snoring...

Arnold loved the sound of Helga sleeping, even her soft snoring was music to his ear, he hanged up to sleep at last.

As Helga was sleeping suddenly she open her eyes "Did he just called me, my love?" she told herself.

The next day Helga was wondering why did Arnold called her the night before and did he really say Helga my love.

Helga didn't have a chance to talk to Arnoldo before class so she decided to wait till lunch.

When Helga arrived at first period class there was a single pink rose on her desk with a small note that read you are special.

"Hey Helga how's your morning?" Asked Arnold as he was walking towards his desk.

"Thank you for the rose Football head I never imagine you giving me...."

Arnold interrupted disappointed in himself.

"It's...not from me Helga"

"If it's not from you then, who?" She asked thinking.

"Hi Helga, I see you're cheerful today." Said Andrew

"Is the rose from you?" she asked with tender eyes.

"Did the rose lifted you up?" Asked Andrew.

"Actually....Yes" Replied Helga smiling.

Andrew smiled back at her and grabbed Helga's hand "Than yes it's from me, after the way you were feeling last night I wanted to give you a little something to make your day brighter."

Helga just kept smiling at Andrew and before she could say a word. The bell rang for class to start.

Arnold's POV
When I walked in class I saw Helga holding a single pink rose and she looked so beautiful with it, I wished I could have taken a photo.

I felt so happy seeing my Helga so cheerful but sad at the same time knowing I could have giving her the rose and I didn't, stupid of me why didn't I think of it.

Then Andrew showed up with his dumb smile making my Helga nervous, my hands felt sweaty it took everything I had to control myself from interrupting Helga talking to Andrew. That jerk, he said after the way you were feeling last night. What does he know about Helga? Were they talking last night? Is this what Helga meant about torture? Come on Arnold don't let Andrew take your Helga. But what about that dream I had? In my dream Andrew was helping me find Helga. Maybe it was just a dream.

After class Helga tap Arnold on his shoulder. "Arnold can I talk to you during lunch?"

Arnold heart skipped a beat in excitement. "Sure Helga, should I find you?" he asked smiling.

"No, Football head I'll find you."

Arnold was left pondering, what did Helga wanted to talk to him about.

During lunch time Helga was eating with Phoebe. While Arnold was with General and the rest of the guys.

"So yes Phoebe, I'll meet up with Andrew today after practice." Said Helga

"So it's finally happening Helga you and Andrew will meet up for a date."

"It's not a date Phoebe."

"Are you sure it sounds like a date."

"Will see, he did give me a rose today." Said Helga

"Oh my, what a sweet gesture." Replied Phoebe

"I know and at first I thought the rose was Arnold's."

"Poor Arnold he probably didn't like seeing Andrew giving you a rose." Said Phoebe

"I don't know probably not, but I had to endure Arnold giving a lot of attention to other girls in the past.... Talking about Arnold, I need to ask him about something. I got to go Phoebe. I'll talk to you later."

"No problem call me." Said Phoebe as she saw Helga leave.

Arnold was with Gerald and the guys talking about basketball practice and other stuff.

"Not all of us have Arnold's luck." Said Josh

"Yeah man, pass me the girl's phone number, if you don't want it next time." Said Raul

"Is that all you think about Raul?" Asked Arnold.

"Yeah man girls and more girls and....Helga?" As Raul was saying Arnold stood up and raised his voice "Shut up Raul!"

"Arnold are you always this rude to Raul!?" Asked Helga stunned, who was standing behind Arnold.

Arnold eyes widened looking at Raul. "That's why I said Helga, Arnold." said Raul staring at Arnold.

"What was that Raul?" Asked Helga

Everyone at the table laughed...

Arnold turned to look at her. "You wanted to talk right?" Arnold whisper to Helga so the others couldn't hear.

"Ugh. Yes" . I love it when he whispers at me. Thought Helga.

"Okay let's go" Arnold grabbed Helga's hand and took her outside the cafeteria to be more private.

"Shit, Helga has Arnold under a spell. Did you see how he change his face when he saw her?" Asked Raul

"Tell me about it and that's not even half of it." Replied Gerald

Outside the cafeteria Arnold was happy that he has some alone time with Helga away from everyone.

"How are you Helga?"

"Mmm Good. The reason why I wanted to talk to you was because you called me last night right, I wasn't dreaming."

Arnold touched the back of his neck nervously. "Yes I did call you, I'm sorry for waking you."

"What was that all about football head?"

Arnold didn't know if to tell Helga what was his nightmare about, since it was really scary and then there was that part with Andrew that he really didn't want Helga to know about.

"I... had a nightmare and I saw you hurt and bleeding from your head. It was horrible."

Arnold looked down remembering the nightmare the feeling of seeing Helga hurt still haunted him.

"Oh, but it was just a nightmare Arnoldo I'm okay."

"Yes, it's just that...at that moment when I woke up, I was sweating and I felt a horrible feeling in my heart that something happened to you...I just had to hear your voice."

Helga smiled at Arnold who look so concerned.

"So that's what the dream was about, you saw me hurt and that's all, I didn't say anything to you?" asked Helga

"You did say something to me, the words stayed in my head like a recording." He look up gazing at her, he took a step closer to her and grabbed her hands. "You said...soon my love."

Helga's eyes widened stunned. That's what I told Arnold Sunday morning when he was talking in his sleep. Thought Helga.

"But then you mentioned something else, I think you said first you have to be strong...I was so horrified to see you bleeding like that." He said still holding her hands.

At that moment Helga let go of his hands and turned around. "What Helga? Did I said something wrong?" he asked worried.

Still facing her back to Arnold she thought. Should I tell him that's exactly what I told him the other night?

"Helga... are you okay?" asked Arnold again.

"It's just that, what I said to you in your dream it's exactly what I told you that's morning in your room, when you were talking in your sleep, you looked so tense, I think you were having a nightmare."

Arnold walked in front of Helga and grabbed her shoulders. "What do you mean?"

Helga was looking down and said in a low tone voice almost like a whisper "Soon my love and that's when I kissed your forehead."

Arnold felt Helga's love so strongly towards him in those words, he just had to feel her body close to his. He wrapped his arms around her embracing her so tightly. "What did I say to you that morning in my sleep?"

Helga wanted to tell him, but she felt it wasn't the right time for him to know. "I'll tell you later." she whispered with her head pressed against his shoulder.

Than Helga remember "Arnold did you say, Helga my love last night?" Arnold continued pressing her body against his, treasuring every second he had Helga save in his arms.
"I did, you are my love." He answered with his voice almost breaking. Helga's breath become heavy. No Helga stay in control be strong she thought.

Suddenly she felt the locket under his shirt. "Is that the locket?" she asked surprised that he was actually wearing it. "Yes it is" He finally released her and pulled the locket from under his shirt. Helga saw their picture on the locket.

"I didn't know you were actually going to wear it." Helga was breathing heavily.

"Of course I wear it, you said it was your heart and I know you wore it all those years. I'll tried to wear it as much as I can."

Helga wrapped her arms around his neck and kiss him on the cheek. Arnold wrapped his arms on her waist and pressed her body as close to his as possible as time stood still for them.

The bell rang and Arnold didn't want to release her. "Arnold you can let me go"

Arnold was still holding her leaning his head on hers. "Arnold.... can you stop being so mushy Football head!!" Shouted Helga in desperation.

Arnold finally released her "oh, I'm sorry Helga it's just having you with me it's..."

"Yeah, Yeah I know. The bell rang I have to get to class, see you later Football head." Said Helga as she walked away.
