Chapter 15.5: My everything... pt.2

Ethan's P.O.V. continued...

Snapping from my thoughts, I ran in the direction that I saw her take off in. Desperately needing to find her so we can talk to tell me why.

"Damn it! Was this what she had to tell me earlier today?" This morning when I picked her up for school, she looked like she had not slept. She told me there was something she needed to tell me except she cried saying she would tell me after the game. Is this what it was? Did she want to break up with me all this time and she chose to after I asked her to Homecoming? It just did not make any sense.

Helena and I never argued. If we were upset, we would talk it out and squash it right then and there. Why the fuck did I not stay after school with her so she could tell me. I could see the pain in her eyes. What kind of boyfriend am I?

Running towards the school building I make my way down the hallway only to see my angel on the floor sobbing. Seeing her like that breaks my heart.

"Helena!" I called out to her then once I reached her, I place my hands on her shoulders where I can feel her quiver under my touch. I wanted to take the pain away. Whatever it is that was causing her pain and causing her to break up with me.

Helping her up I automatically hugged her tightly like my own life depended on it while she fisted my jersey in her small hand. God, I never wanted to let go of her.

"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?" needing her to understand that she is my everything and always will be. I just held her tighter.

"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." she kept telling me. Why does she want to end things with me? Does she not love me anymore?

Pulling away I cup her face shaking my 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 scream because I know she loves me as much as I love her. Why is she doing this to me -- us?

She does not respond.

"I know you love me, Helena. Why are you doing this? Why are you doing this to me -- to us?" refusing to believe she wanted nothing to do with me. We love each other too much. We made plans for the future...

Helena continued to tell me how sorry she was and how we could not be together. Though I continued to ask her why, she would not answer me. What did I do? Did I not pay enough attention to her? Did I not love her enough? Is she -- did she find someone better? The thought made my stomach sick, but I had to ask.

She tried to leave but I grabbed her arm. "Is -- is there someone else? Is that why? Is that why you are breaking up with me?" not wanting to ask but I had to know. I needed to know. I can feel my chest tightening from what she would say. Helena could not be with someone else -- she wouldn't?

Avoiding my eyes, she did not say anything. I can feel my anger build up. Why is she not answering me?

"Answer me!" my scream makes her flinch. I have never screamed at her before and I felt horrible after I did it. I just need to know the truth.

Ready to give me an explanation we both heard someone say, "As a matter of fact, kid, yes. She is dumping your sorry ass for another guy. Me"

Facing the voice, I see none other than the leader of the Skullz wearing a smug look on his face. I wanted to rip it off. What he said made no sense to me. There is no fucking way that Helena would leave me for scum like him.

Feeling my hand tightening around her arm, I gritted through my teeth. "You are lying. Helena would never leave me for someone like you." sneering I pulled her back towards me. He had to be lying. It had to be a joke because my innocent Helena would never leave me. She couldn't. She was mine!

He even threatened me not to touch her. Who the fuck was he to tell me not to touch my girlfriend? I was so ready to run up to him and beat the hell out of him. I did not care who the fuck he was, but he was not going to take my girl away from me. Over my dead body!

Ready to fight him, the punk ass had his cronies surround me. Eleven against one would not be fair. I did not care though Helena is worth fighting for. Even if they beat me to death, she would know that I would fight for her until the end. Except I slowly let go of her. Making it the biggest mistake I would make.

"Helena. Please tell me this is all a big joke. Please tell me that -- that you and him..." I started to beg her. This could not be the end of us. She is my everything and I cannot be without her.

Hearing her sweet voice telling me that she was sorry and loved me broke me in two. So, I watched her go to him -- willingly.

And when I saw him kiss her, my world crumbled around me.

She broke up with me to be with him...

She broke my heart to be with him...

She shattered my universe to be with him...

...and I will forever hate her because of HIM!
