Helena Walton's POV

Finally we reached our destination and I put my tennis shoes back on when Adam parked the car in front of a huge wooden house. I remembered coming here when we were kids but the memories were faint and distant.

Climbing out of the car I stood there looking at the wooden structure, trying to get more memories about the times we visited. But Adam had other plans in mind as he took my hand and led me away from the house. Oh right, the sunset, he wanted to watch it with me. It made me giddy that we were actually going to have our first real romantic moment and more importantly drama free.

We reached the edge of their garden just as the sun was starting to set. It was breathtaking and so romantic. I felt Adams arms go around me and instantly relaxed into him. I felt like I was in the right place, this was home, his arms were my safe haven.

"It's amazing isn't it?" Adam's voice sounded so sexy and husky that it sent a shiver down my body. But before I could answer him I felt him pull away from me and turn to look behind us. I did the same and gasped in horror.

"It is amazing indeed"

I coward back a little before Adam jumped in front of me protecting me from the gun pointed at us. Only a few minutes ago I thought this would be a drama free moment for us, turns out it is quite well the opposite.

I buried my face in Adam's back, I could feel how tense he was, and I couldn't blame him! He was at gun point after all, and he was also trying to figure out how to get me out of here unscathed.

Without knowing where I got the courage from, I slightly pushed Adam aside who was reluctant to let me face the man threatening us. But I had just gotten Adam back, I wasn't going to stay back like a coward and let him get harmed.

"It was beautiful before you showed up Damon!"

"Shhh don't anger him Lena, what are you doing?" Adam whispered shout at me but I ignored him and took a step forward.

I was in fact terrified, but I didn't want to show it. I never liked to show my weaknesses and that wasn't going to happen today.

"What do you want?" I asked him with a glare.

"I missed you baby, didn't you miss me?" he smirked checking me out and I was glad I chose an oversized jumper.

"I can never miss someone like you Damon, you're a jerk, a rapist! Why would I miss you?"

"Alright that's enough, he has a gun!" Adam pulled me back to him but I shoved him off, maybe it was the adrenaline I don't know but I just wanted to take care of myself for once.

I had never forgotten how bad he made me feel that night, how bad I just wanted to die. If it wasn't for Adam, I probably would have. He showed just on time before I could just throw myself at the coming cars.

I took another step forward and gave Adam a warning "Stay back and don't touch me!"

"Lena please he has a gun for God Sake" I looked at Damon who was grinning from ear to ear.

"Yeah Lena, you should listen to your brother for once... oh he's not your brother he's your boyfriend? But what about Maxwell?"

How the hell did he know about Max? When was he even released from prison? Was he stalking me since he got out? Why show up now? A million questions were running through my mind when I heard Adam's voice break through my thoughts.

"I'm not her brother you jerk! Stop insinuating things! What do you want?"

"I'd check my temper if I were you Adam, I'm holding a gun after all aren't I?"

"Why did you do it?" I asked Damon as I took another step forward getting closer to him.

"Did what princess?"

"Why did you try and rape me?"

"Because I'm not stupid. I knew you were with me to piss him off, and I wanted you to forget about him. There was no way you could forget about him if you didn't really give me a chance. I loved you Lena, like I've never loved anyone. He knows how picky I am, he knows I never really liked anyone before you. And then you happened. And I couldn't just allow you to leave me and crawl back to him. Let's be honest here, you were going to leave me weren't you?"

It's true, I was going to leave him, I started feeling the pressure of being in a real relationship and I just wasn't ready for it. But it had nothing to do with Adam, or did it?

"I wasn't going to leave you idiot! You were hot, smart, kind and you were everything a girl could have wished for!" I heard Adam groan behind me but ignored him. Nothing I was saying was true anyway, he should know better than doubt me.

"That's a lie! You kept denying me every time I asked for it!"

"I wasn't fucking ready Damon! Why couldn't you just be okay with it and give me time to actually give you what was meant for you? But no you couldn't and you had to think with your dick and take it by force! Now how did that go?"

"You two threw me in prison and enjoyed your lavish lives while I was living like a rat!

"This is all your doing Damon, you could have let me love you, but instead you taught me how to loathe you"

"You never loved me! You were just a slut pretending to be an angel! But I'm no fool, you are a little minx aren't you, now sleeping with him while you already have a boyfriend who was looking for you today like a crazed man!"

"Watch it Damon!" Adam was by my side throwing daggers at Damon as he put a protective arm around me.

"Stop with the empty threats Yilmaz" he again pointed the gun at Adam.

"Both of you stop bickering! And you" I spoke to Damon "What are you talking about?"

"Maxwell was at your apartment banging on the door before you showed up with him" he pointed at Adam. "You missed him by minutes, I'm sure the confrontation would have been interesting if he saw you two going into that building hand in hand"

I rolled my eyes not caring about Max's thoughts, he wasn't a saint either and I knew he was sleeping around anyway. I glanced at Adam and saw his features relaxed, even his posture wasn't as tense as it was before and I raised both eyebrows wondering why he was so calm all of a sudden.

I looked back at Damon and shrugged "So now what? You're going to kill us both and go live your life happily?"

"Exactly! I'm going to take away the years you took from me, I couldn't even fucking graduate, and now even if I want to I can't! My own father disowned me, I have nothing"

"Is it money you want? You know..."

"Shove it up your ass!"

"Damon stop being so dramatic! And don't think for one second that I'm afraid to die. I'm not, I've lived a rather beautiful life and now that I know the man I love loves me back, I can die in peace I don't care. But leave him out of this, I'm the one who threw you in jail not him, he wasn't even around, he was in Turkey when it happened!"

I felt Adam's arm tightened around just as I saw cops coming silently from behind Damon. So that's why Adam was so at ease! But how? I tried hard not to give out anything as the cops were getting closer to us.

"I don't care where he was, I'm going to kill you and leave this country for good and start over"

"You can do that in jail" a cop said pointing a gun at Damon.

Everything went so fast, Damon was taken by surprise and immediately fired my way, but I felt nothing. I looked up and saw Adam smiling at me, he had jumped in front of me knocking us both to the ground avoiding the bullet.

"Adam?" I said in a panicked voice as he didn't budge and stayed on top of me. Damn he was heavy.

"Adam! Adam!" I shouted his name many times fearing to push him off me and even afraid to touch his back, afraid of finding out... what if he didn't manage to avoid the bullet?

"Adam baby please talk to me..." nothing "Adammmmmm"
