SURPRISE!!

Ethan's P.O.V.

My football team and I had made it back home from a football camp that was held this past weekend. We usually have them during the summer for longer periods of time except for this one. Coach wanted the wide receivers to get extra training. Especially since we had an upcoming game.

It was grueling, but I enjoy it. The only thing that would had made it better was if my beautiful Helena would have been there. I missed her so much and I could not wait to see and have her in my arms.

Calling her to see if I could go over that Sunday evening, she did not sound like herself telling me she was not feeling well. I had even offered to take her some soup and take care of her, but she kept shutting me down. To say I was very disappointed that I could not see her beautiful face was understatement. I told her it was alright even though it was not.

The following day I made it to school and made my way to find my girl. Finding her getting her things out of her locker I decided to sneak up on her which now looking back should had given me a sign.

"Damn baby you are so damn sexy. I can't wait to get you alone." I whispered in her ear pushing her against the locker pinning her body with mine.

Thinking that she would play along she began to shake and panic. "Please. Please, don't!"

"What the fuck?" I had thought to myself. Why is she freaking out?

"Helena! Baby girl what's wrong? Look at me please! It's me Ethan, baby."

I told her quickly. What the hell was wrong with her?

"E-- Ethan?" Opening her eyes, I notice the fear that she had however, when she saw me in front of her it had gone away.

"Yes babe, it's me. Who did you think it was?" I ask chuckling and wondering why she had panicked. I had to admit that I was a bit freaked out also. Helena has never reacted that way before.

She had stayed quiet holding me tight like if her life depended on it. I had missed her, so I also held tightly to her. God, she smelled good.

Pulling away I cupped her face with both hands looking in her eyes. "Helena, what's wrong? What the hell happened to your cheek?" Noticing the bruise, she had on her cheek.

She told me she had bad dreams the night before which scared her and since I had sneaked up on her it had startled her. She had also told me that she had fallen down the steps in Tatiana's house which in a way I believed. What else could have happened if not for her hitting it. Right?

Asking her if there was anything else wrong, Helena just reassured me that she was fine. I had a feeling that she was not, but she just kept saying no. If only I would have pushed the issue. Just like when she had told me a few days later that she had something important she needed to tell me. But no, I let other things get in the way of finding out why my beautiful, innocent girlfriend was looking over her shoulder like if someone was out to get her or how she faked a smile when it looked like she wanted to cry. Especially how distant she was when she was with me. She did not even talk to Tatiana which I found very strange since those two were inseparable. I even asked Tatiana what was going on with them. All she told me was that they had a 'misunderstanding'. Whatever that meant.

I should have also not ignored the fact that when I found the leader of the Skullz too close to Helena she looked freaked out and when we were leaving the diner, he said to me. "This is not over! We will meet again!"

I had no clue what the fuck he was talking about and why he was talking to Helena. By the look on her face, she was uncomfortable being near him, so I did not understand why he was saying that? Did they even know each other? Helena would never hang out with someone like him. Questions ran through my head on the drive home. We both stayed quiet since it looked like she did not want to talk about it either.

Stupid I know. I knew there was something wrong with her. My Helena was quiet but when we were together, she was different. She was always smiling, talking and joking with me. She was always herself and she always told me everything, we were each other's best friends.

I still remember the first time I asked her out. It was at a football practice and the cheerleading team was outside having try outs. I kept watching her hoping she would notice me, but she didn't. She never noticed when other guys checked her out. That is one of the reasons why I liked her so much. She is not the type of girl to bring herself negative attention and did not flaunt the amazing body she has. She is soft spoken with a bit of sass if she gets upset and thoughtful of people's feelings. Her caring and loving nature made me fall in love with her and I seriously could not see my life without her in it.

After an hour of nonchalantly glancing her way, I got up the nerve to go up to her. I remember my heart beating a hundred miles a minute with every step I took toward her. We knew each other from having some classes together since our freshman year. To be honest, I had always liked her but was to chicken to ask her out. Finally standing next to her I cleared my throat to get her attention when she turned around and smiled at me. I swear I forgot how to speak and breathe when she smiled at me. Every time she does it took my breath away.

When I remembered to breathe and speak, I began to talk to her then asked her out to get something to eat after practice -- which she accepted -- and the rest is history. We are happy. At least I thought we were.

So, when I got on my knee and asked her to go to Homecoming with me and she said she couldn't I was beyond confused. First, I thought she was joking until I saw her tearing up.

She kept shaking her head no and saying sorry repeatedly. "Why could she not go with me? Was it something I did or did not do?"

Thinking that I misunderstood, that she just could not go to the dance, she shocked me with the next words that came out of her mouth. "I love you, Ethan. You will always have my heart. However, I cannot be with you anymore. I am so, so sorry." Then she took off running.

Dumbfounded and speechless, I stood there frozen trying to register what had just happened. Did the love of my life just break up with me? She could not have. There had to be an explanation, and I had to find out why. I was not going to let things end between us without knowing the reason.

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!
