Scrump let out a happy bark as Leon and Helena sat and stared at each other in shock.
Helena's mind and heart were fluttering, "To hell with it, I can't fight these doubts any longer. I love him, how couldn't I. He's perfect"
Leon's mind was in a different place entirely "HOLY! SHIT!…What am I doing! That was a mistake, I can't get attached like this again!" Leon's mind was going crazy. He thought about the women in his life, Claire. She and him were an item after Raccoon city but she left to look for her brother then fell in love with Steve. She told him that she'd never love again, and it broke his heart. He and Angela had a fling, but she was boring, it didn't get far.
Then there was Ada, the woman who had captured his heart..Then stepped on it. He'd been empty since Spain, it made no sense she was the enemy, she had tried to kill him as many times as he tried to help him. Recently he had given up, all that was left was a picture, now half a picture.
Now, there was Helena. She was a tortured soul like him, only she had been through hell once (as ridiculous as that sounds) and despite trauma and horrors she was exposed to he could still see light in her eyes. She was beautiful, strong, kind…what wasn't to like about her?
"Then why am so afraid?" Leon thought, he knew the answer"I can't hurt her,and i can't be hurt again at this point in both of our lives. If something happens I wouldn't be able to live with myself.
Helena had stars in her eyes, she leaned in for another kiss, but Leon stopped her.
"Helena I can't.."he said with sorrow.
Helena looked shocked "Wait…what do you mean?"
Leon looked at her with sorrow, "Helena I can't do this, us…I just can't please don't take it personally.." Leon saw tears fill Helena's eyes
She tried to smile "Oh..Im sorry…Uhm I'm pretty tired, I think we'll go.." Leon could see she was trying to keep it together. She got up and walked to the door,"I had a great…time..goodnight Leon"
Leon could her her losing control he got up and started towards her,"Helena…don't."
Helena held up a hand and finally began to fall apart." Leon its ok..Scrump, sweetie cmere." Leon could see her tears dropping to the floor as Scrump got off the couch and slowly walked to the door with her tail between her legs. Scrump licked Helena's hand and whined, Helena gave the fur on her back a squeeze before she let out a sob "Goodbye Leon Kennedy, I hope you find Ada someday, when you do.." Helena sniffed hard then pulled something small out of her a pocket on her dress.
To Leon it looked like she was pulling the object out and her heart along with it, it was almost too much to bear, He could stare down a B.O.W. without flinching but couldn't stand to witness the pain he was causing this woman.
Helena struggled to keep it together as she finished " When you do…give this to her." She tossed the small object and it landed at Leon's feet.
Leon looked at the object in disbelief, it was Ada's compact. She must have kept it.
He looked at Helena, the pain in her face was torturing him. Helena took a deep breath in between sobs and choked out ten words "I hope she can make you happy Leon, Because, you..deserve it."
Then she was gone.
Leon fell to his knees and grabbed Ada's compact," What had he done! "
Rage built up inside Leon as he looked at the compact. "NO! NO! NO NO NO NO NO! WHAT HAVE I DONE!? GOD DAMNIT LEON!" His fist tightened, and he felt the casing on the compact beginning to crack and bend.
Leon roared with fury and threw the compact a wall. The impact destroyed the compact and its contents.
Leon's chest heaved, what kind of monster was he, Helena had given her heart to him only for him to spit on it. The beautiful women had trusted him, centered her world around him. Only for him to turn her away.
But what angered Leon the most is why he did it, He wasn't looking out for her! No, he was looking out for himself he was afraid of being hurt, but he had done more than just hurt Helena. He crushed her! and it made him sick.
Leon stormed into the bathroom and stared at himself in the mirror.
The sight repulsed him.
he saw a mutated Simmons staring at him laughing " You should have let her die, it would be less painful than what you've done to her."
Leon roared and punched the mirror cracking the felt the glass slicing into his fist. It hurt, a lot. But not as much as he hurt Helena.
Leon had a choice he could salvage his mistake; go to Helena and make it right, or retreat and live the empty shell that was his life without her.
The answer was clear, and he needed a plan.
Helena was a wreck, as soon as she was home from Leon's she went strait to her liquor cabinet and grabbed a bottle of wine bit the cork out. She took a deep pull and collapsed to her knees bawling her eyes out.
Scrump waggled over and put her head on Helena's lap. Helena scratched Scrump behind the ears.
" I was nothing to him, a fool, I'll never have his attention as long as Ada is out there." Helena snarled and smashed the bottle of wine on the floor. "ITS NOT FAIR!" she shrieked " Why should that red skunk get his attention and not me! What has she done for him? Im just the girl who picks up the shattered pieces of him after she was done crushing him."
She stopped screaming and heard scrump whining softly into her lap.
Her tears fell silently from her face as she picked up a broken shard of glass and felt it sink into her flesh. Helena squirmed at the sick comfort it gave her, till something caught her attention.
A figure fell past her window, Helen ran to the window and looked down.
Nothing.
Helena screamed as another figure fell then stopped at her window.
"D-Deborah!" she stammered at her mutated sister put her hand softly on the glass.
A wide smile spread across Helena's face and she reached up to touch the glass that separated her from her sister.
Scrump growled and barked angrily.
Suddenly the glass shattered and Deborah grabbed Helena and pulled her.
Helena screamed as the ground rushed for her before she was brought to a abrupt stop.
She looked up to see Scrump holding her shoe in her mouth, keeping her from falling.
"Scrump!" Helena sobbed "Let me go baby…let me go.." Scrump growled defiantly.
Tears fell from Helena's eyes as she closed her eyes and began shaking her foot' " I'm sorry baby…" she felt her shoe slide off and she began to fall, until a hand grabbed her ankle.
"No I am." A low voice said.
Helena's eyes flew open.
"L..Leon!"
