Guys, THANK YOU so much for "I'm Only His" reaching 200k views today! You are awesome and I couldn't be more ecstatic than I am right now. So, to thank you I decided to update today though I have tons to do...hope you guys like this chapter...it will be the beginning of a few things between Helena and Kane...maybe Ethan?! *Wink Wink*

Helena's P.O.V.

The revelation of Donovan and Kane being brothers had me in deep thought for the rest of the day. It even let me ignore the sneers and nasty comments made by my peers. It seems like I was the topic of conversation today. All thanks to Kane.

Having to stay after school for cheer practice. When I notice some of the girls glance at me, they look away whispering among themselves. Tatiana would just glare and look away.

Stretching I feel a presence behind me.

"Helena, can we ask you something?" A squeaky voice asks me.

Turning around I see the cheer captains Shannon and Carly, also known as the Queen B's of the school.

"What?" Not wanting to stay talking to them for too long.

"Well, now that Ethan is free, do you mind if we take him?" Shannon asks with a smirk while twirling a strand of her blonde bleached hair.

"Yeah, like, since you so nicely humiliated him after Friday's game and dumped him for that sexy ass gang leader. We were thinking that we can help him rebound with us." Carly adds chewing her gum like a cow. They are so freaking cliche is funny.

Scrunching my eyebrows in disgust I respond. "You are actually asking me for permission? What makes you think he would date either of you anyways?"

They look at each other then at me. "Oh, we were not asking your permission. We would go after him regardless of how you felt. We were just giving you a head's up." Shannon informs me.

"Yeah, and what do you mean he would not date us? He dated you for over a year." Carly exclaims in her high pitch annoying voice.

"What is that supposed to mean?" Curiously asking this airhead.

"Hahaha. Oh, come on Helena! Look at you! You are just so -- so plain."

"Yeah, from what we heard you acted like such a prude with Ethan and then let the whole Skullz gang fuck you. To think everyone thought you were such a 'good girl'. Who knew deep down inside you were nothing but a whore just waiting to be trained by a gang?" Shannon sneers looking me up and down with disgust apparent in her caked-on face.

"I thought we were easy, but you Helena are a bigger slut than..." She does not get a chance to finish the sentence because the last thing I remember is me clenching my fist then swinging it towards her face.

It happens in slow motion. My fist connects with her overly glossed mouth making her stumble back falling on her flat ass.

Glaring down at her, I feel my anger rise within me.

"You punched me!" Squealing as she places her fake manicured hand over her bloody lip.

"Yeah. I did and I will do it again if you do not shut the hell up! You do not know anything about me or what is going on." Gritting through my clenched teeth.

"You bitch!" Shannon comes over pushing me.

"I am the bitch? You and your air head friend are the bitches here!" Yelling at them and before I know it, she slaps me.

I have never been slapped before – if you count being punched the night I was assaulted-- so it stings. In a blink of an eye, I jumped the bleached blonde Barbie knocking her padded ass also on the ground.

If anybody asks me what possessed me to fight the two biggest bitches in school, then I will tell you that I had no idea. Never have I been in a physical fight before. However, the way I feel at this very moment -- I am ready to beat their asses.

As my body straddles her skinny ass, I pound my fist on her face while pulling her extensions. She screams trying to claw my face until I am able to push her hands away. My body pushing her off. Looking to the side I notice it is Carly who is now pulling my hair. Because I had gotten caught off guard, she is able to yank it back. Managing to grab a hold of hers I pull it harder to get her off me.

Flipping us over I get on top of her and begin swinging. I do not know where this surge of energy came from. All I know is that I am pissed. Pissed for almost being raped, pissed for breaking Ethan's heart and him hating me for it and pissed for the way my life has been turned upside down in the last week.

Most of all I am beyond pissed because of Kane freaking Cruz coming into my life causing chaos.

Lifting my fist to pound on Carly's bruised face, I feel my body being lifted by two strong arms. They wrap around my arms holding them down by my sides.

"Get off me! I am not done! Get off!" Thrashing under the clad grip I scream. Not caring that a crowd is forming around. I am on savage mode and ready to kick anyone's ass.

"You are done. Calm down Helena, this is not you." The male's voice says in my ear.

"Ethan! You better calm down your psychotic whore of an ex! She broke my lip!" Shannon whines helping Carly off the ground.

"You are lucky that is the only thing I broke!" Shouting back I jump forward to break free from his arms.

"Stop fighting, you are going to make it worse." Hissing he pulls me closer to his body.

"What the hell did you ever see in her Ethan? She is crazy and a slut!" Carly screams.

"Takes one to know one! Unlike you I have never opened my legs for anyone. I have more self-worth than you two combined!" Spitting back the second I say those words I feel Ethan's grip on me loosen. This is my chance.

Pulling away from him I run up to the two bitches to finally shut them up until a hand wraps around my arm stopping me.

Ready to turn around to protest, a loud booming voice shouts from behind us. "GET.YOUR.FUCKING.HAND.OFF.OF.HER."

Kane, a very livid Kane.

Ethan's hand tightens around my arm looking or what I am assuming glaring at Kane who stands tall with five of his crew members next to him. One of them being Donovan.

"Are you deaf? Or do you want to lose that hand. I know for a fact you will need it to jerk yourself off on those cold lonely nights..." Kane chuckles. "...but then again, you do have your sideline of whores waiting to be dicked by you. Right Prince Charming?"

Leave it to Kane to throw his puns and insults towards Ethan.

Hissing from the tighter grip that Ethan has on me, I become furious remembering how he called me a whore when he was the one whoring around.

Snatching my arm from him I glare at Ethan who turns to look at me. His eyes show sadness but quickly masks it.

"Rather have a sideline than have one that let you in." He grits staring me in the eyes.

My eyes widen at his insult. However instead of getting upset, I punch him in the nose.

"What the f--?" Yelling while holding his nose that starts dripping blood.

"You will not disrespect me again. You may hate me and ignore me, but you will not go around calling me something I am not!" Gritting through my teeth I turn on my heel to walk away then stop turning around to look at him.

"Funny how I am the whore in your eyes. Yet you were the one who admitted being unfaithful to me when I was being the faithful one. You are nothing but a liar and a hypocrite. Kane may be a lot of things. Except from day one, he never pretended to be someone he is not and for that, I will be the one not forgiving your betrayal."

"Come on Ethan, let's go. Forget her. She made her choice. Now you know she is nothing but a skank." Shannon dares to insult me as she wraps her hand around his arm.

"Do you want me to kick your ass again? You and your skank friend are the ones opening your legs for the whole football team -- and I am the whore?" I chuckle shaking my head. "Like I said before. I will never compromise my reputation or self-worth for anyone." Turning on my heels again I stalk over to where my things are picking them up passing Kane who is smirking at the whole scene.

"Touch her again fuck boy, and your hand is not the only thing you are going to lose. That also goes for your whores next to you." Hearing Kane say from behind me as I walk away.

Feeling numb and emotionless I reach Kane's car. Standing there staring down on the ground I try to digest what had just happened. The person back there is not me. I always liked to be in the back unnoticed let alone start a fight. What happened back there? All I know is that I saw red when those two bitches started running their mouths about things they have no clue about. I needed to shut them up.

Feeling two arms wrap around my waist I knew they belonged to Kane. "If I knew any better, I could have sworn my girl turned into Ronda Rousey back there." Kane chuckles from behind me.

"Ronda Rousey lost her last match." I say in a monotone tone.

"Does not matter princess. You kicked ass like she would before her opponent got a lucky break." He says kissing my temple.

"Baby girl, you have no idea how fucking sexy you looked punching your ex. His shocked face expression was priceless. Had not idea you had it in you."

He is right, I did not know I had it in me. Whatever happened back there set free something that is inside of me. Igniting a feeling I thought I did not have or never gain from being under Kane's demands. It is something I am going to need to survive being Kane's girl...

Turning around I take a step back from Kane. He looks surprised raising his brow wondering what is wrong.

I must face the fact that I will be with Kane until he decides to leave me alone. I also know that my flight or fight mode has been in full force since the night I was assaulted. Needing to fight Kane every step of the way for the past week so he will not gain control of me and my life. It is so easy for outsiders to think I willingly left Ethan for him. That I can give myself to someone like Kane -- cold, heartless, murderous and calculating like he is. How in my situation I should have told Ethan the truth from the beginning and seek out help from the authorities. Yet they do not know that he has people in his pocket, and no one can be trusted. Should I have taken the chance and have people hurt or killed so I can be free of him? Maybe, but I was not willing to take that chance.

Should I just shut up and let Kane control, sexually assault and command me to do what he wants me to do? It would be easy except a part of me refuses to just give in to him. I should not have to. He does not respect me so why should I? Will I choose my battles with him like Donovan suggested? Perhaps. Will I win the war against Kane? I can only pray I survive in the end of whatever sick demented game Kane is playing with my free will.

Glancing up at him I smile sweetly causing Kane's eyes to widen. Taking a step closer to him my hand lifts to cup the side of his face. My thumb caresses his cheek softly feeling some stubble on his usually clean shave face. Reaching up, I do something I thought I would never do. Getting on my tip toes I lean forward placing a kiss on his lips catching him off guard. Pulling away I look in between his gray eyes.

"You are right Kane. I myself did not think I had it in me..." Taking my hand off his cheek I bring it back slightly then slap him as hard as I could.

"...but I do now." Stepping back I open the door to his car throwing my things on the floor then sit down crossing my arms in front of my chest.

Kane stands outside stung. His face still to the side after the slap and after a few seconds he closes the door shut and walks in front of the car to the driver's side.

Opening the door, he gets in and just sits there quietly for a moment before speaking. "That slap was free. Next time be ready for the consequences." He says in a calm voice.

I turn to face him while he does the same. "Trust me Kane. I will be ready from now on."

Smirking at me, he puts the keys in the ignition turning the car on peeling out of the parking lot.

I know daring to slap Kane would have consequences. I just did not give a crap at that moment. I am not going to be walked on, taken advantage off or even be controlled by him or anyone else ever again.

Though Ethan was always the perfect guy, treating me the way I should be treated, I knew I lost a part of me to him. Now with Kane I know I will lose more of myself but gain something I have been lacking. That is strength and a voice to stand up for myself....and from today on I will do and be the person that will win Kane Cruz's game. Starting with being the 'perfect girlfriend'.

*Well guys, hope you liked the chapter...you saw another side of Helena she herself didn't know was in her. Do you think it's just all the pent up frustration and anger she has been holding or will this be the way she will be from now on? Is this her plan to figure Kane out and escape him later...will she play his game?
