Chapter 10.5- A winning touchdown followed by a heartbreak… pt. 2

**Helena's PO.V. continued...**

Full on crying I stop when I see Kane glaring at Ethan from the bleachers. His jaw and fists are clenched his knuckles turning white. He must have noticed my presence because his eyes snap down towards me. Glaring up at him while tears still rolled down my cheeks I scream not caring if anyone around hears me. "Are you happy now you psychotic, narcissistic, selfish BASTARD?"

His face stays impassive until his mouth turns into a smirk. "Very, princess."

Huffing I take off running again away from the field. Desperately needing to get out of here, away from Kane and Ethan.

Running inside the school -- which is open -- I make my way down the hall stopping. Dropping down on my knees I start sobbing and screaming at the top of my lungs. "WHY? WHY? PLEASE GOD TELL ME WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME? Ethan does not deserve this – please." begging trying to understand why all of this is happening.

Not knowing how long I have been on the floor I hear footsteps behind me.

"Helena!" the voice calls out getting closer to my shaking body.

Feeling hands on my shoulders I begin to quiver under his touch. He helps me up then hugs me tight while I fist his jersey in my hands trying to hold on to him for the last time.

"Baby. Please do not tell me it is over between us. Tell me what I did wrong so I can fix it. I love you too much to ever let you go. I need you, Helena. You are my world. Do you not understand this?" hugging me tighter Ethan rubs circles on my back with his thumbs. His warmth and touch always soothes me, and I am going to miss it. Everything he does I am going to miss. This is so unbelievably unfair. How can the universe be playing such a cruel joke on us?

"Ethan, you did not do anything wrong. I -- I did. Please, just let it be. We cannot be together anymore. I am really sorry. That is the way it has to be."

Pulling away he cups my face shaking his head. "No, no! I am not going to accept that we are over. Do you hear me? I love you and I know you love me. Don't you?"

I say nothing.

"I know you love me, Helena. Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this to me -- to us?"

"Ethan, please understand. We cannot be together. It is over." raising my voice I pull away trying to walk past him.

He grabs my arm to stop me. "Is -- is there someone else? Is that why? Is that why you are breaking up with me?"

Remaining silent hoping it will answer his question even though it is half true. Yes, I am breaking up with him for another guy. Only because he threatened to kill him. I have too, to keep him safe.

"Answer me!" his scream makes me flinch. Knowing the silence is killing him.

Before I can say anything, a deep voice from the side of us answers. "As a matter of fact, kid, yes. She is dumping your sorry ass for another guy. Me"

Lifting my eyes up I see a smug looking Kane lean against the lockers staring at us, amusement in those gray eyes of his.

Ethan's hand tightens around my arm. "You are lying." he grits. "Helena would never leave me for someone like you." Sneering he pulls me back towards him. He is right, I would never willingly leave him for a guy like Kane.

Kane stares at Ethan then looks down to the ground shaking his head chuckling at him. Pushing his body away from the lockers, he begins to walk slowly towards us. It feels like he is calculating his attack.

Stopping about fifteen feet away from us still looking down he sighs dramatically. Rubbing his hands together he slowly lifts his head and just the way his face looks, I know he is planning something bad in that sick head of his.

"I suggest you get your hands off her kid. If you know what is good for you." saying calmly. Too calm for my liking.

"What? No, Helena and I are talking. I could not care less who the fuck you are. She is my girlfriend not yours." Ethan bravely yells.

"Ethan." whispering his name in warning I try to calm him down before Kane does anything.

"Get.Your.Fucking.Hands.Off.Of Her. NOW!" Kane grits clenching his hands again.

"What the fuck are you going to do about it? Huh?" Ethan pulls me closer to him.

Kane takes a step closer to us and smirks. "I don't think you want to know." after saying that five guys from his crew come around the corner standing a few feet away from Kane. Hearing footsteps behind us there are five more blocking the hall. I knew Kane had something planned.

Ethan glances at the guys behind us then the ones in front. His hand hesitates around my arm then slowly lets go. His warmth leaving my cold arm.

"Helena. Please tell me this is all a big joke. Please tell me that -- that you and him..." his words come out strained causing my heart to shatter. I can hear the pain behind his words.

"I am sorry Ethan. I love y--."

"Helena! Come over here. NOW!" Kane demands.

I stand there staring into Ethan's hurting eyes with my watery ones. This is goodbye, and he will never know the real reason of my departure. He can never know. All he is going to know is that I broke his heart to be with another guy. A guy I will hate for the rest of my life.

"NOW PRINCESS!" Kane's voice booms echoing through the hallways.

"Please forgive me." Whispering to Ethan taking a step back from him and towards Kane.

"Baby girl?" knitted his eyebrows together in confusion knowing he is trying to figure out what is happening.

Once in front of Kane the a-hole yanks me to his muscular body holding me tight. "Good girl." cooing in my ear making me shudder at his condescending tone. He must be crazy if he thinks he is going to treat me like his lap dog.

Cupping my face, he smashes his lips on mine kissing me possessively. To make the situation worse, he squeezes my ass hard knowing full well he is doing it to hurt Ethan more and I hate him more for it. Pulling away he smirks at me then glares at a hurt Ethan swinging his arm around my trembling shoulders.

"Helena is mine now Prince Charming. This is what you get for speaking to me the way you did the other day -- kid." spitting he then turns us around to leave.

Only taking two steps Kane turns to glance at Ethan again. "Oh yeah, by the way. Call it a courtesy warning, if you ever put your hands on what is mine again. I will make sure you will never be able to catch another football in your life." threatening he then chuckles. "Good game kid. Congratulations on getting the winning touchdown… then getting your heart broken afterwards."

Before I leave, I catch Ethan's face expression showing a mixture of pain, confusion and hatred. Knowing it is all my fault.
