I felt sad because Helena would try to destroy Hermia's and Lysander's plan
Firstly, Lysander was deeply in love with Hermia, but when Puck (the fairy) put the love potion on Lysanders eyes, he fell in love with Helena- betraying Hermia. He was protective over her, because demetrius loved her also.
Hermia
He argues that in terms of wealth or status there is not much to choose between Demetrius and himself, but that Lysander has something which should override any differences if there are any, and that is Hermia's love.
Hermia loves Lysander. Lysander and Demetrius both love Hermia. Helena loves Demetrius.
She would like Demetrius to go for her, but instead he's interested in Hermia. She says to Hermia, "Teach me how you look and with what art you sway the motion of Demetrius' heart"
Helena tells Demetrius about Hermia and Lysander's plan to elope because she hopes that by revealing this information, Demetrius will love her instead of Hermia. Helena is desperate for Demetrius's affection and believes that her loyalty to him will make him realize her feelings for him.
Lysander says in act 1 scene 1 that Demetrius was being rude and ignorant by isolating Helena, so he thinks that Demetrius would do the same to Hermia. He tried explaining this to Egeus but Egeus did not take Lysanders word for it.

Before the play starts Helena is engaged with Demetrius, and Hermia and Lysander are in love with each other and are planning to get married. But then Demetrius falls in love with Hermia and wants to marry her, Hermia still loves Lysander and does not want to marry Demetrius (Hermia's father wants Hermia to marry Demetrius). Helena still loves Demetrius. Then Lysander loves Helena who loves Demetrius who loves Hermia, Hermia still loves Lysander. Demetrius then changes his thoughts and starts to love Helena again, but Lysander is still in love with Helena. But then every thing changes as everyone goes back to who they loved in the first place; Helena -> Demetrius Demetrius -> Helena Hermia -> Lysander Lysander -> Hermia Very confusing! :)
Hermia loves Lysander. Lysander and Demetrius both love Hermia. Helena loves Demetrius.
Hermia thinks that Demetrius has killed Lysander because she finds Lysander's blood-stained handkerchief near Demetrius, and believes it to be evidence of his guilt. Demetrius swears he did not harm Lysander, and Hermia eventually discovers that Puck's mischief is responsible for the confusion.

Killed him. And to be frank, that was Demetrius's idea.
Demetrius has Egeus's consent to marry her, but not, unfortunately, Hermia's.
The main storyline concerns the young people Hermia, Lysander, Demetrius and Helena. Hermia and Lysander are lovers, but Demetrius wants to marry Hermia too, and has Hermia's father and the law on his side. Helena used to be Demetrius's girlfriend, but he dumped her to chase after Hermia. To escape the law, Lysander and Hermia plan to fly the country through the wood next to town, and Helena and Demetrius follow. Due to the unexpected interference of various fairies in the wood, Lysander is magicked into loving Helena, then Demetrius is magicked into loving her also. The spell on Lysander is reversed so he goes back to loving Hermia, and they are found and invited to return to the city and to marry each other, Lysander marrying Hermia and Demetrius marrying Helena.
