Chapter 8: T-minus 8 hours and counting...



Helena's P.O.V.


I vaguely remember how I got home -- or how I ended up in the shower -- washing away the memory of what I had been forced to witness. I also do not remember how I ended up in my bed shaking and still in shock from what had happened a few hours priors.

I know I fell asleep sometime after. The nightmares reminded me that fatigue had overtaken my body. The faces of the two guys that tried to rape me. Beaten, gagged and a bullet hole in the middle of their foreheads will forever be ingrained in my memory. How they did not even see their fate being sealed by Lucifer himself... Kane.

Waking up in a pool of my own sweat, I lay on my bed still. Afraid of moving and having to wake up to what will be my reality today and for days to come.

I get up and slowly make my way to my bathroom to take another shower. After, I get out and look at myself in the mirror. My face has no emotion, bags under my eyes are appearing. I look like a freaking zombie.

I finish what I had to do to make myself somewhat decent. Not that it matters since I will be a complete mess later. In T-minus 8 hours I had to break up with Ethan before the Grim Reaper took him away from me.

Getting dressed I make my way downstairs, say goodbye to my parents and go outside to meet a very cheerful Ethan who is leaning against his pickup truck.

"Good morning beautiful." He chirps pushing himself off the truck. Making his way over to me he hands me a cup of hot chocolate and a bag.

"Morning, thanks." Muttering as I grab the items letting him embrace me for what will most likely be the last time. I enjoyed it and hated it, smelling his cologne that I love so much I pulled away giving him a weak smile.

"What is the matter babe? Another bad dream?" He asks concern in his eyes and voice. If he only knew.

Nodding my head yes, I sigh. "I will be alright."

He stares at me then sighs. "Okay, let's go. Make sure you eat your breakfast that your awesome boyfriend brought you." he says grabbing my backpack swinging it over his shoulder. This is the reason why I love him so much. Ethan is sweet and very thoughtful.

Opening the door to his truck I get in. Placing my hot chocolate on the cup holder I then put my seatbelt on. Settling in the seat, I pull out my egg and cheese croissant out of the bag which he knows it is one of my favorites. Getting in he places my bag in the back seat then starts the engine.

Looking over to me he leans over a few inches from my face. "You would tell me if there were something going on or is bothering you. Right?"

I look in between his eyes noticing the worry in them. How can I tell him? I nod my head yes slowly. "Yes. I will tell you after school, just not right now. Okay? I am very tired and I -- I just want to spend the rest of the day happy with you. I do not want anything to get in the way of us today..." I trail off not noticing that my eyes are beginning to water.

Ethan pulls back a bit bringing his hands up to my face cupping it he then wipes the tears away with his thumbs. "Hey, hey. Please do not cry baby girl. You know I hate to see my girl cry." kissing me on my lips he pulls our foreheads together gently.

"Whatever it is you can tell me. Baby you can tell me anything. I love you so much that it hurts to know that whatever it is you want to tell me hurts you. Let me help you with whatever it is. We can get through it. I will do anything I can do to make it better. All I want is to make you and see you happy. Alright?"

I nod my head again. "I – I am so sorry Ethan. For everything. Please, whatever happens I want you to know that I love you and only you. You mean everything to me, and I do not know what I would do if anything happened to you. It will kill me." I begin to cry not able to hold it in. I want to tell him everything that has happened in the past week, but I know for his own safety I could not.

Ethan is taken back by my words furrowing his eyebrows together. He pulls me into a tight hug. "Shh, shh babe. Don't cry it will be okay. I will make sure of it." Kissing me again for a bit longer he pulls away with a smile which I return. "There is that smile I love so much."

Kissing the tip of my nose he seats back and takes off to school. I sit quietly and force myself to eat since I lost my appetite. "Oh Ethan. If you only knew that you cannot fix this."

The morning seemed to go slow. Or it was me moving at a slow pace. I was not sure, and it did not matter. Planning on breaking up with Ethan right after school I was becoming more anxious. I still do not really know exactly what to say to him.

The whole school is hyped up for the football game tonight which I almost forgot. Guess having some sociopath gang leader murderer obsessed with me who is threatening to kill my boyfriend -- if I did not break up with him -- kind of makes a person forget what else is going on around them.

Making my way to the pep rally I hear my name being called. "Helena!"

Turning around I see none other than one of Kane's lap dogs. I still do not know his name and I seem to not care. Rolling my eyes at him I turn back around and kept walking. I am not in the mood to talk to him or talk about Kane.


                              *Donovan Healy played by Diego Barrueco in Media Picture...

"Hey! Hold up!" He calls out hearing his running footsteps closer to me making me speed up my pace until I round the corner bumping into someone's chest.

"Oww!" I scream backing up to see another scary guy.

"Where are you going baby girl?" And the way he says it gave me a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach.


                                                           *Ace Doherty in Media Picture...*



"Who -- who are you?" I ask backing away. He looks older around Kane's age not remembering seeing him in this school.

"Name is Ace and you beautiful are going to be a good girl and listen to what Donovan has to say to you. Understand?" His smirk does not sit well with especially the way his finger trails down my cheek giving me the creeps.

Taking a step back I bump into another chest. Really?

Looking up I see the guy who I am assuming is Donovan or one of the guys that forced me in the car yesterday.

"I take it your Donovan?" Asking glaring at him.

"I am and as you know, that is Ace. He is our second in command." He nods his head towards the other guy.

Looking at him then back at Ace I sigh irritated. "What do you two want now? Is it not enough that your sociopath leader is making my existence a living HELL? Must he send his lap dogs to stalk me also?"

"Lap dogs? Who the fuck are you calling a lap dog you bit --." The guy I bumped into yells taking a menacing step towards me. Donovan stops him by pushing him away.

"Chill Ace. You know what Kane will do if you touch her."

Ace glares at me then looks at Donovan stepping back. "I seriously do not know what the fuck he sees in her anyways. He has had better and they never bitched either."

"Well, he should find them then because he is not a prize either." Snapping back. He is seriously getting on my last nerve.

We have a glaring contest until Donovan speaks. "Anyways Helena, Kane wanted us to remind you that you had until the bell rings to break up with Ethan and that he will be here to pick you up after school in the parking lot."

Snapping my head towards him I glare at him once again. "Does he seriously have to remind me of what I DO NOT WANT TO DO? God, is he trying to drive me to the mental hospital? Tell him that I know what I have to do and to get off my back!" Going around him I make my way down the hall until I turn around. "Oh and tell your ass of a leader not to bother picking me up because there is a football game I have to cheer for." Turning on my heels I head to the gym. I so had enough of everything.

After the pep rally, which is right before school let out I see Ethan walking towards me with a huge smile. Once in front of me he lifts me up swinging me over his shoulder like Kane had done a few days ago. He starts to laugh when I start squealing.

Everyone around us watch and start pointing at us even some of his friends start cheering him on.

"Ethan, what are you doing?" I ask giggling.

"You will see babe." He chuckles walking up the stairs of the school.

A few minutes later, I hear a door open he closes it shut locking it after we are inside.

Once he is in front of a desk, he carefully puts me down then steps back.

Tilting my head my eyebrows raise wondering what he is doing. He is quiet for a while. Taking a step closer to me, he opens my legs apart so he can stand in between them.

"Ethan?" Saying his name quietly. Before I can ask what, he is doing, he places his hand behind my neck pulling me closer to his face and kisses me passionately. It takes me by surprise, but I return it by wrapping my arms around his neck pulling him closer to me. At that moment I had to have him as close as possible.

His one hand is still behind my neck while the other one slides down in between my thighs. His finger inching closer to my underwear caressing the skin. Chills run down my spine. His touch making me want him.

Pulling away, his lips attach to my neck sucking on it. I know he is going to leave a mark and personally I do not care. He is still my boyfriend and Kane should not get mad about it. Who am I kidding? I know he probably will when he sees it. Oh well.

"E-- Ethan." I moan not wanting him to stop but I have to do it now.

"Shh babe. Let me enjoy kissing you before the game." He whispers attacking my lips this time his thumb presses against my center making me moan.

"Helena, I want you so badly." He rasps while his thumb moves in a circular motion on my bud. Him doing that brings back a flashback of what those guys had done to me. So, by instinct, I grab his wrist and pull away.

"Ethan. Stop – I -- I need to tell you something." I breathe out.

"I am so sorry baby. I should not have..."

"Stop Ethan. I want you to, but we, I can't. Something happened this past weekend that I need to tell you." I begin to say and pause. What am I supposed to tell him?

"What is it babe. Just tell me." His eyes look in between mine waiting for me to tell him what has been going on with me.

"Ethan, I do not know how to say this but, but you and I c--."

"Yo, Ethan? Are you in there?" We are interrupted by someone banging on the door.

"Crap." Ethan mutters shaking his head. "Sorry, babe." Turning around he walks up to the door and unlocks it.

"What is it, Matt?"

"Coach is looking for you. We are going to be late for the team meeting." His friend and teammate tells him.

Ethan sighs. "Alright, give me a minute." closing the door again he walks back towards me smashing his lips on mine again. Slowly he pulls away. "Sorry beautiful, but I have to go. I wanted to spend a few minutes alone with you before I had to run to the meeting and then the game. Rain check?" Grinning he asks showing his dimple.

"Sure." Whispering knowing that we will not have another chance to kiss or be alone.

"Good." Pecking my lips. "Oh, you were finally going to tell me what is bothering you. You want to tell me?"

Staring at him for a few seconds I shake my head no. "It is alright. I will tell you after the game. Now go to the meeting before coach makes you run ten laps." Telling him with a smile.

"Are you sure?" Leaning into him when he cups my face.

"Yes, babe positive. It can wait until after the game. Now go. I will see you later." Lightly pushing him away causing him to chuckle.

"Okay. I will see you later, then after the game you and I are going to have a heart-to-heart talk. I love you baby girl. Do not ever forget it." Hugging me I hug him tightly not wanting to let go. I am going to miss our times together.

"Bye my love." Pecking his lips again I watch him leave the room leaving me here to cry and curse Kane to hell for forcing me to break my first love's heart -- and my own.
