Helena Walton's POV

I woke up to the sound of the blender, and was immediately was hit with the smell of freshly brewed coffee. I stretched in bed and rubbed my eyes before opening them and looking around. "Shit" memories from last night came rushing back all at once. My head was going to explode "what have I done!" I groaned burying my face in his pillow. But that wasn't a good idea. It smelled so manly, so like him. I blushed remembering how I kissed him last night.

"Oh my God!" I looked under the covers remembering taking my clothes off, but found myself in a simple black t-shirt.

"Why does he always make it so hard for me to hate him?!"

I looked up  as the door was pushed opened and watched Adam stride inside while holding a bed tray. He put it in front of me and smiled.

"Good morning Lena. Eat this, drink your coffee and take the aspirin, your head must be pounding"

"Adam... last night?"

"Nothing happened, we were both drunk. We passed out. Don't worry you didn't sleep with the enemy" he mocked turning to look in the mirror and fixed his hair. He was wearing black jeans and a black t-shirt with white Skechers. He looked gorgeous. Was he going on a date?

"Good, thanks Adam" I said gesturing to the tray

"No problem, siblings take care of each other" he winked and was about to walk away when I called his name.

"Adam?"

"Yes?"

"Where are you going?"

He frowned for a second and smirked "I have a girlfriend you know, I 'm going to see her. Have a great day, try not to get in trouble" and he walked out.

I stared at the tray and pushed it aside feeling nauseated. It took me an hour to be able to get anything in my system. I took a long shower, resting my head on the cold surface of the wall letting the hot water spray down on my neck and lower body.

I told him I'm a virgin. Why in the fucking world would I share this information with Adam? Even Serena didn't know I was a virgin! Hell only Jason, who gave me my first orgasm knew that. I grinned remembering that time everyone came over to our house for a barbeque; I had sneaked Jason to my room, I was only sixteen years old.

*Flashback*

"Helena what are we doing in your bedroom?"

"Come sit next to me I won't bite. I just want to talk"

Girls at school were all talking about having sex and I didn't know the littlest thing about it. I didn't want them to shun me. I liked being popular and didn't want that to change. And I also didn't want to try anything with someone I barely knew. So the best fitted person to do this was Jason.

"Alright, I'm sitting. What did you want to talk about? If you're going to rant about Adam let me leave, I actually like the guy"

I cupped his face and kissed him hard. He instantly kissed me back, wrapping an arm around my body. He was known for sleeping around even at an early age, he had his reputation at school.

I pulled away and rested my forehead against his "Do me a favor Jason"

"What do you need?"

"Make me cum"

And he did. The day after I spread the rumor about us sleeping together, it was self destruction but I just wanted to maintain my spot. Since then, Jason and I were more like friends with benefits but without actually doing it. He respected the fact that I wasn't ready for it.

*End of flashback*

I walked out of the shower and took my time drying myself, knowing I had nothing better to do. I didn't feel like going out today. I moisturized my skin and went to my bedroom to get dressed. I chose some black cotton shorts with a matching tank top.

I kept glancing at the door expecting Adam to walk in but it wasn't until late afternoon that he came home grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"Lena! You're home" he smiled going to the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water. He downed it all and threw it in the bin before joining me on the couch.

"You look lazy, what's up with you?"

"You look happy, what up with you?"

He grinned "Nothing, I just had fun with Amanda that's all."

"Your girlfriend?"

"Yeah, the girl you saw me talking to yesterday"

That gorgeous redhead is his girlfriend!

"She's pretty"

"She's drop dead gorgeous to the point she makes other girls shy down in her presence."

"Stop exaggerating"

"I'm not it's true. We really get a lot of attention when we go out."

(This is Amanda)

I smiled, maybe you're the one they are looking at dummy! I screamed at him in my head.

"Did you eat anything?"

"No I ordered Chinese."

"You always order Chinese"

"I love it"

"Yeah just like mom"

"She is not your mom Adam stop calling her that"

He glared at me and got up without saying anything. He grabbed his keys and left the apartment again.

"Whoa what just happened?" he never stormed away when I say stuff like that to him so what just happened seriously? I sighed grabbing my phone and sent him text.

HW: I'm sorry

He didn't reply. I heard the doorbell and thought he came back so I went to open it ready to apologize to him for some reason, only to find the delivery guy. I took my food inside and ate alone in my huge flat. I couldn't wait college to actually start; at least I won't be feeling so alone.

I stayed up late that night, waiting Adam to come back. For some reason I just wanted to apologize to him. I never felt this way before, I always tried to hurt him and I usually I would be so happy when succeeding. But this time was different. And it drove me crazy. I went to bed when I lost hope of him coming back. Maybe he went back to his girlfriend? Who knows?

Adam Yilmaz POV

"She is not your mom Adam stop calling her that"

I was used to Helena saying shit like that to me. At first it just hurt me a lot, and it bothered me. But then I realized that no matter how much she said it, it wouldn't changed the fact that the Walton's loved me and I loved them. They were my living parents. Elise was my rock, she reminded me of my mother every day. She knew her too well. And as I grew up I started forgetting things about my mother, but Elise wouldn't allow it. She would talk about her for hours, keeping her memory alive in my mind and in my heart.

Today I just didn't feel like fighting with Helena, and I knew if I said anything back to her I'll only aggravate the situation. So I decided to leave for now.

I called Johnny D once in my car and met him in a low key bar.

"Dude what happened to you last night? You just punched the old guy and left"

"He was a creep ogling Helena and planning on taking her home."

"Well everyone talks shit about Helena, you know that already. plus I think this girl makes it on purpose"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean she likes the attention. Remember when we were 16? She did everything to remain on the top of the popular kids' list. She even slept with her cousin for god sake"

"Jason isn't her cousin. His sister Serena is. That doesn't make them cousins"

"It's gross anyway"

I was getting tired of this conversation. I ordered another round and changed the subject.

"So, Amanda is back"

"Yeah she messaged me this morning and told me you were going to hang out."

"Man, your cousin is so bipolar"

We both laughed at that.

"What did she say"

"Well she asked me to come over and I went to see her thinking she wanted us back together. Turns out she wants us to be friends with benefits, no strings attached. I just don't get it, she approached me, asked me to be her boyfriend, a month later she disappears, and only calls me a week after. Now she's back and she wants us to use each other's bodies."

"She's just not that into you Adam"

"We both know she is Johnny D. she's just hiding something I'm not sure what though but I'll find out soon enough."

"Did you agree to her terms?"

"Of course not. Either I'm with someone who really cares for me, or I'm alone."

"How did she take it?"

"She went all psycho on me at first" I laughed "But then I cooked her lunch and she was all happy again. I'm telling you she's crazy man".

"Just forget about Amanda, look around, so many beautiful creatures here, most of them staring at us, so let's have some fun man. Welcome to the single men club" he happily patted my back making me laugh.

I stayed out very late. I knew I promised my dad to keep an eye on Helena but I needed this right now. I needed to get out and have my share of fun.

When I got home, everything was dark, meaning Helena was asleep. Good, I wasn't able to fight with that wildfire right now. I headed straight for my bed not even bothering to take my clothes off or even close the door behind me. Next morning I woke up early for my morning run and was back before Helena woke up. I took a shower and left the apartment. I just felt like avoiding her for now. And that's what I did for the next week. Her face wasn't popping in newspaper and I thought I had no reason to stick around for now.

I was coming out of class when I bumped into her "Sorry... Lena? I'm sorry I was distracted"

"Don't sweat it" she said and kept walking not even glancing back at me. Not even giving me a snarky remark. What was wrong with that girl? Was she mad because I was avoiding her? I was doing her a favor after all.

I met up with Johnny D, Matt and Damon for lunch. We wanted to have a boys night but I didn't think bringing them home would be wise. They were horny wolves and Helena was hot. And unpredictable.

"Why don't we go to yours Adam?" Damon asked while chewing on his burger.

"I'm not sure it's a good idea. I have a roommate"

"So?" Matt pressured before taking a sip of his drink.

Johnny D and I exchanged a look and he butted in "Guys let's go to mine tonight."

"No man, your roommate is weird" Damon cringed. Last time we were at Johnny's place, his roommate tried to make friends with us. I didn't find him weird, he was just lonely and I didn't mind him at all. But the guys didn't let anyone in our group so easily.

"Well I guess you can kiss boys night good bye coz we're not going to Adam's place"

I chuckled and took my phone out texting Helena.

AY: Hey, can I bring some guys over tonight?

HW: Whatever. I don't care.

Her response kind of angered me. But I quickly hid it and looked up at the guys.

"Stop whining ladies, we'll go to mine tonight"

"Are you sure?"

Johnny D asked me a bit confused. He knew how protective I was of Helena, and he knew I wasn't sure the guys would behave. They didn't know her, Johnny and I met them in boxing club one night and hit it off quickly. Apart from partly being perverts, they were cool.

I nodded at him and put my phone away. I just hoped she wouldn't go out tonight and ruin my night. If she did I'll have to follow her. I liked protecting her but now it started to feel like a burden, a huge responsibility, especially after her confession of being a virgin. That night, after she told me that, I just kissed her on her forehead and told her I didn't think she's a slut. I asked her why she wanted everyone to think that but she had already drifted to sleep.

Just as we were cleaning our table before heading back to our classes, Johnny D nudged my arm motioning me to look ahead of me. I followed his gaze and saw Helena lip locking with a third year student. Josh Martin, captain of the basket ball team.

"Is she  trying to be popular here too?"

"I don't know Johnny D, but I don't like this guy."

"I don't either, I heard he forced himself on a freshmen student last year".
