Kane's P.O.V.

We have been in the hospital for the past five hours. After Donovan and Jimmy realized there was something wrong with Helena, I wrapped her up in the bed sheet and rushed her out of the house with Donovan and Jimmy behind me.

"Where is your car, Donovan?" I yell as we went through the door.

"Over here." running towards his car me following behind.

Reaching his car he unlocks it, opening the back door so I can sit with her. Turning around I look at Ace who is smirking. "Ace."

Looking at me he turns serious. "Take care of the bastard who tried to rape Helena. I will text you later."

He nods his head then looks at Helena. Not liking the way he keeps staring at her I get inside the car holding her tightly to my body.

Peeling out Donovan speeds out making it to the hospital in fifteen minutes. Getting out of the car I rush in through the Emergency entrance. "Someone help me!" shouting getting the attention of a few nurses who run up to us.

"What is going on?" one nurse asks looking at Helena then at me.

"My, my girlfriend, I think she was drugged and raped."

Nodding her head, she motions another nurse who walks up to us with a gurney. "Lay her own. How long has she been unconscious?"

"I am not sure. I was not with her. I found her in bed half naked with a guy on t--..." my explanation cuts short not wanting to replay what I saw. Just talking about it makes me want to go back and keep shooting Ryan until he is unrecognizable.

"Okay." in understanding she says checking her heart rate. Calling a few more people over they wheel her away from me, so I follow them.

"You need to stay out here." putting her hands up to stop me.

"I want to be there with her." There is no way I want to leave her out of my sight.

"I am sorry, you cannot go back there. We will make sure she is fine. I will come back out when I have information." She then goes through the double doors leaving me standing worried about my princess.

"Kane." hearing my name I turn around and glare at Donovan.

"What.the.fuck.happened?" gritting through my teeth.

"I -- I told you. Jimmy came up to me telling me that Helena felt dizzy then passed out. He then took her to his room. Until he told us that he did not see her laying down when we barged in." he runs his shaky hands through his hair.

"So, you are telling me, that Helena and Jimmy where together and she passed out? That after I specifically told you to keep her in your sight -- meaning not leaving her -- my girl not only was with Jimmy alone but was fucking drugged. Then almost FUCKING RAPED?" shouting I grab the collar of his shirt slamming him against the wall.

"She, she was not out of my sight. I was dancing next to them."

"Dancing? They were dancing together? If they were dancing next to you, then why did you not see her pass out?"

He stares into my eyes gulping. "Because they left somewhere else." he says lowly.

I nod my head in understanding. "I see. So, not only did you not do what I asked. But you let her leave the room -- to God knows where -- passes out, then Jimmy lets you know that she is in his bedroom. You of course did not bother to check on her because if you would have, you would have known she was not in his room but the fucker who drugged her was ready to RAPE HER!" slamming him against the wall one more time. I swear if he were not my flesh and blood, I would put a bullet in his head.

Hissing he rubs the back of his head. "Look, I know I fucked up. I feel like shit right now. But where the hell were you? Helena is your girl."

Letting go of him I take a step back staring at him. Running my hand over my hair I turn around. "Where were you Kane?"

"I told you, business."

"Business? Hmm." he says standing in front of me. "Why the fuck are you lying?"

Lifting my head up I glare at him. "I told you I had business to take care off."

"And I told you, you are fucking lying. If you had business, you would have told me. So, where were you Kane?"

Walking past him I stay quiet. It is not the time to tell him where I was.

"I know I fucked up. Nonetheless you were supposed to be with Helena not somewhere else taking care of 'business'." he uses air quotations to make his point. "So again, brother. Where were you?"

"Let it go Donovan." gritting through clenched teeth. Just him questioning me has my blood boiling.

"Let it go? Let it go? Do you think I am fucking Elsa from Frozen? I am not letting it go. You know what is funny Kane? You made such a big deal about getting Helena. Even threatened to off Ethan if she would not break up with him to be with you. You have treated her like shit, your abusive and you have made her miserable. Now because your ass was taking care of 'business' you did not protect her. Thereby do not blame it all on me." he spits knowing that in a way he is right.

We have a staring match for a few seconds, and right when I was going to open my mouth, we hear a male's voice from behind us. "Are you the two who brought the girl in who was drugged?"

Donovan and I glance at each other then at the police officers. "Yes, we are." telling him in a monotone voice. "I found her half naked..." starting to tell them and for forty-five minutes they asked Donovan and I questions about Helena's attempted rape...again.

Jimmy arrives at the hospital just when the police officers had left. They had gone to speak to the doctor about her condition. I also gave them her parent's phone number to let them know that she is in the hospital.

"Dude, I am sorry for what happened to Helena. I was with her all night, and I was the only one who gave her something to drink." Jimmy tells me from the side.

I look over at him. "Hey, not to worry, it was bottled water. He must of gone and slipped it in when I was not looking." he sighs leaning forward with his elbows on his knees.

I know Jimmy well and I know for a fact he would not have done it, especially after catching the bastard who did in the act.

"I just cannot believe Ryan would fucking drug her." shaking his head in disbelief.

"Yeah, well he was always shady." I tell him. Ryan is one of Ace's good friends. I never trusted him, not that I trusted a lot of people anyway.

"Yeah. Wonder what made him do it?" he asks.

"Does it have to be a reason besides being a fucking rapist? He targeted Helena and no one messes with my girl. He deserved what he got." clenching my jaw. Thank God I got there in time to stop him. I would have lost my mind if he had raped her. I know for a fact Helena would never be the same either. Who would?

"Where is she? Where is my daughter?" looking up I see a couple passing us rushing up to the information desk.

"Mam, please calm down. What is your daughter's name?" the nurse asks calmly.

"Helena. Helena Rodriguez. We received a phone call that she was brought in. Please, we need to see her." the woman that I know now to be Helena's mother pleads.

"Alright. Please wait here and I will get someone to take you to see her." the nurse tells her picking up the phone.

"Thank you." the man with her says. Obviously, Helena's father.

He brings her in for a hug, I can see the tears rolling down her cheeks. I stare at her. Helena and her look so much alike.

"Mr. and Mrs. Rodriguez?" I hear Donovan call standing next to them.

Glancing at him the man glares at him. "Donovan. What happened to our daughter?" I do not blame him. I would never want to be in his position at this moment. I know if I ever have a daughter I would be seething. Not that I already am.

"She, umm, she was drugged. Someone put a rape drug in her water. Our friend Jimmy..." he turns to look over at him. "...laid her down in bed to get rest since he did not know what was wrong. When he checked up on her, she was not in the room where he left her. When Kane..." looking at me now. "...went to look for her, he found the guy. Well --." he stops not wanting to finish the details.

"Oh my God!" her mom gasps covering her mouth. "Mi Helena. Mi pobre bebe." (My Helena. My poor baby." saying in Spanish.

"I am very sorry." he whispers putting his head down in shame.

"Sorry? Sorry?" she begins to repeat getting closer to us. She looks at Donovan then glares at me.

"This is ALL YOUR FAULT!" screaming at me she does the same thing Helena did to me, slap me. I stand there staring at her clenching my jaw. Holding back my instinct to strike back.

"Maria." her husband calls grabbing her upper arm to pull her away.

"My daughter did not want to go to that party. You were the one making her go. I saw it in her face. Ever since she broke up with Ethan and started seeing you, she has not been the same. I know who you are Kane Cruz. I went to school with your mother. I knew your father, and I know you are just as cold, heartless and abusive as he is. This is your fault! YOURS! Where were you? Where the hell were you when my daughter was been attacked?" she continues yelling causing others in the area to glance over at us.

"I was not there. I had just gotten there."

"Exactly! You made her go to a party and you were not there! Just like you will never ever be there in her life. I want you to stay away from my daughter. Do you hear me? Stay the hell away from my baby." Chocking on a sob, her husband embraces her.

"I cannot do that. She belongs to me, and I will never leave her alone." I say calmly. I know they are her parents, but they will not keep me away from my princess.

"I suggest you do. I know your father also Kane. You do not scare me. Just ask him who Victor Rodriguez is and he will tell you." her father says to me seriously. "Stay away from Helena. I am warning you."

My hands ball up into fists, my jaw clenches and unclenches a few times. No one will tell me to stay away from her. No one.

"Mr. and Mrs. Rodriguez?" we all look at a woman standing by the double doors.

"Yes? Can we see our daughter?" her mom asks rushing up to her.

"Yes, you may. Please follow me." she waves them over opening the door for them.

They start to go through until her mom stops turning to look at me. "My daughter does not belong in your world. You will destroy her just like you did tonight. If you care for her then please. Stay away from her. I know what it is like to be with someone like you. It changes you from the inside out, and Helena does not deserve it." she looks over at Donovan nodding then walks in, her husband by her side who glares at me.

The double doors close behind them as I stare at them. I do care for Helena. Maybe more than I would like to admit. That is why I cannot leave her alone. I will not. She is mine -- now more than ever.
