Drama Unfolds-

“Gerald please calm down.” Phoebe pleaded.
“What the fuck did you say?! I don’t think I heard you right.” Gerald breathed harshly.
“Made it!” Helga exasperated, as she and Arnold made it back to the spot where they left phoebe. ‘Don’t worry phoebe you’re not alone in this.’
“Helga what’s going on?” Arnold whispered into her ear as he caught up to her, to find his Gerald arguing with phoebe. Something that doesn’t occur very often.
“I can’t say, I’m bound to secrecy.” she replied, hating not being able to tell Arnold what’s going on. ‘God it feels like I’m lying to him! I mean sure I’ved told him stories before, but this is different! I hope he doesn’t hate me after this.’
Arnold gave her a suspicious look before he turned back to the bickering couple.
“Gerald, I‘m sorry!” Phoebe sighed.
“Sorry? You’re sorry? Phoebe are you playing some sort of game here? Cause I can tell you you’re good. Go to Vegas! You have a lot of talent.” He said
“Sweetie-”
“All this time I never sensed anything different between us. You acted the same everyday, there was no hint or sign coming from you that I could have caught up on. Maybe it’s me.” Gerald growled clenching his fists, glaring at his girl friend
“No baby, it’s not you. It’s me. I’m so, so sorry. I should have told you along time ago.” Phoebe said nervously raking her hands through her hair.
“Along time ago? How long have you been at this phoebe?!” Gerald whispered harshly, barely noticing Arnold and helga witnessing their conversation.
“Well… about 5 months now.” Phoebe said silently looking down at her fingers that were dawdling.
“Oh my god. How could you? You were sleeping with some other guy for 5 months now?! That long?! Damn it phoebe if you wanted to be with him so badly why’d you stay with me?” Gerald grounded out between his teeth, with his eyes shut trying to conceal his anger. Not wanting to lash out at her, he loved her too much.
“Oh shit she didn’t tell him.” Helga said under her breath.
“Tell him what?” Arnold asked trying to get a grasp on the situation. All he got from helga as a quick shake of her head.
“Be…be…because I love you!” Phoebe cried.
“Love me? Don’t tell me that bullshit! I don’t get how you love someone and sleep with someone else for 5 months! Must be something you read in those national geographic phoebe but you know what? It doesn’t work with me! Who is he anyway? I want to know! I hope you didn’t catch something from that guy and gave it to me, phoebe I swear-”
“Phoebe? Are you ok?”
Everyone turned and looked to see who had come to intrude on the conversation. Much to helga’s surprise, it was Lisa Barnier, how she decided to pop up at the park at this exact moment, at this exact spot was beyond coincidence. Helga held he breath as she heard phoebe whisper and “oh no”
Arnold felt helga’s body stiffen next to him when this freaky looking girl popped up out of nowhere.
Automatically wrapped a hand around her waist keeping her close to him. ‘ok something freaky is going on here. Who is she? Why is helga so quiet, usually she’s making snide remarks about the gothic crowd and their black clothes, saying how they remind her of the crow and whatever. And why phoebe looks like she’s going to puke? Damn this is like one of those soaps grandma likes to watch! Why would phoebe cheat on Gerald? That makes no sense!’ He thought completely confused on the turn of events.
“I….I’m fine Lisa.” Phoebe said quickly.
“Uh…Are you sure? I heard arguing and you don’t look so hot.” Lisa said softly with concern in her eyes as she moved closer to phoebe.
“I’m fine! Me and Gerald were just talking.” Phoebe said pleadingly with her eyes.
“Who the fuck are you?” Gerald said.
“Uh..”
“This Lisa, Gerald. She’s a…friend of mine.” Phoebe said almost nervously.
Helga slowly shook her head.
Gerald didn’t believe her for a second, finally seeing the depths of phoebe’s deception, he couldn’t trust anything that came out her mouth. He doubted he ever would.
“Phoebe tell me the truth. No more lies! At least give me that.” he said calmly.
“Phoebe you don’t have to.” Lisa said softly, rubbing her lovers back in comfort.
“Yes she does!” Gerald shouted. Making helga jump. Arnold held her tighter to him.
“No she doesn’t. Don’t you see what you’re doing to her?” Lisa said turning to Gerald as phoebe sobbed into her shirt.
“SHE IS MY GIRLFRIEND!” Gerald shouted.
“That doesn’t make her your punching bag, jock!” Lisa hissed.
“Who the fuck are you anyway? I don’t know you, I’ved never met you before in my life! You and your vamped out posse hang out in dark areas, how the fuck is anyone supposed to know you’re there? Popping out of nowhere!” He shot back.
“Posse? Oh how very mature. Got any more ghetto fabulous?” she laughed
“Stop it! Stop fighting!” Phoebe wailed.
“Then tell me who she is phoebe! How is it that one of the smartest, prettiest and most popular girls in the school decide to fuck around on their boyfriend for about 5 months, drops the bomb on him, tells him that she loves him, and is now rubbing and hugging on some half-dead looking Goth chic!!” Gerald shouted clenching his fists.
Arnold could have sworn a vein must’ve popped in Gerald’s head, at that moment. For he noticed it all too. ‘Gerald must want phoebe to be out with it. Phoebe into girls? Whoa shit! No wonder helga wouldn’t say anything, that’s what they were talking about before I popped up.’ he said remembering when she walked up to them seeing phoebe grab helga’s injured arm, begging her not to tell him ‘*snort* and to think she was going to tell me anyhow, she had so much faith that I wouldn’t spill to Gerald. But then again I would be in the same position she was in. Damn! Thanks helga you saved us both a lot of grief.’
“She’s…..she’s..”
“She’s what? Out with it!” He growled.
“Stop pushing her around like that!” Lisa said protectively.
“You stay out of it.” Gerald countered.
“Gerald! *sigh* Lisa is the one I’ved been with all these months.” Phoebe confessed.
A moment of silence fell between all of them. Lisa glaring at Gerald, and Gerald with his eyes closed apparently counting to himself.
Whirling to where Arnold and helga stood watching Gerald glared at helga.
“Did you know about this?! Don’t lie helga, you’re phoebe’s best friend! I bet this was like a huge joke to you! I bet you think that this is just fucking hilarious!” He growled.
“Gerald stop it!” Arnold said pulling helga into his chest.
“What do you mean stop it? It’s obvious the bitch knew! How couldn’t she? I hope you liked watching because-”
“Gerald! Shut the fuck up! Don’t talk to her that! Why are you turning you anger on helga for?” Arnold said angry with his best friend for calling his girl friend a bitch. He would have never called phoebe a bitch even to make gest.
“Because she knew Arnold! Are you blind? Oh I see! Your were in on it, too!” He shot back.
“No Gerald he didn’t know, I begged helga not to tell.” Phoebe shouted.
“See? She knew all along.” Gerald sneered.
“No I didn’t! She just told me today, that’s why were here in the park.” Helga said.
“Bull-shit, you’re going to tell me your best-friend since elementary school kept this big a secret from you? Put that on something helga.” Gerald sneered.
“I put that on my good arm, since you thrashed the other.” Helga growled.
“I apologized for that.” Gerald flinched. “But I still don’t believe phoebe-”
“Yes, Gerald she deceived us all. Arnold remember when I told you this morning on the phone that phoebe woke me up?” Helga said.
“Yeah.”
“This is why.” Helga said motioning to Lisa. “She couldn’t keep it anymore. I guess after sex with you last night, she couldn’t keep it in any longer. You did have sex with her last night right?”
“Yes, but I don’t want to have to remember that right now, helga.” He said painfully.
“You bitch!” Lisa screeched throwing phoebe off of her. “You told me you weren’t sleeping with him anymore!”
“I….I….oh god Lisa I told you I still loved Gerald.” Phoebe sighed clenching her fists at her side.
“Please stop saying that, it makes me nauseous.” Gerald winced. “Well helga I believe you now, I never thought I’d see something like this. My ex-girlfriend is lying lesbo! No! Correction. Lying Bi-sexual nympho. Shit there should be a movie about this.”
“You whore! I can’t believe you, I thought you loved me.” Lisa shouted.
“Now, Lisa I never said that. I mean I like you and all, but-”
“Well damn, the lesbian Goth chick isn’t good enough for you? Wow phoebe your tastes are very refined.” Gerald snorted folding his arms.
“Like? You liked me? We’ve going at it for months now phoebe, I thought we had a commitment.” Lisa said completely ignoring Gerald.
“Ok, Lisa this is what I’m talking about. I never a greed to any commitment with you.” Phoebe said sternly.
“Oh so it’s ok for you to go back to him! What am I? Leftover liverwurst?” she growled.
Helga on the other hand was trying to block out the conversation that had anything to do with lesbian relations, which wasn’t working.
“Crimity! Let’s end this! I swear I’m going to have a migraine. I was on an orgasm high before coming here, now it’s just non-existent! And right now that fucking blows.” Helga said being purposely self-centered, about the whole situation.
Arnold couldn’t help but give a cocky grin. Gerald rolled his eyes. Leave it to helga to turn the mood of a conversation.
“Fuck you helga! No one cares about your libido right now.” Lisa lashed.
“I do!” Arnold said raising his hand chuckling.
“You know what? Fucking me is something you’ll never do, you half-dead cow! And by the looks of it neither will phoebe, so go find another milkmaid, bitch! Or better yet find another farm, there isn’t enough women to turn out on this side of the city. None that are interested anyway.” Helga smirked.
“Fuck you! You blonde haired psycho!” Lisa said charging towards helga, but was held back by phoebe hand.
“Aw go fuck yourself! You know your better at it anyway.” Helga snickered.
“Helga!” Arnold grunted, grabbing hold of helga as she tried to shoot off after Lisa in retaliation.
“I do not need this.” Gerald said sitting down on the bench wondering how his life hit a major curve.
