"Why are you watching me while I sleep?” she yawned out and I looked ahead briefly at the sun that was shining in.

“Because your phone woke me up and I had nothing better to do” I shrugged.

“Oh so romantic! Who called?”

I handed her , her phone as I already saw it unintentionally due to the notification popping up.

“Kane… he texted you” I remembered what it said as she looked at her phone .

“Kenzie you forgot your bag in my car guess we’ll be spending time together for the next two weeks anyway Caryn loved your cookies said you have learnt well! Anyway I have to go, we miss you xx”

The text had helped me feel relieved as it did seem like she was close to his wife and shit like she said.

“I don’t remember being in bed” she  smiled up at me.

“That’s cause you fell asleep “ I pulled her body on top of mine and saw her cleavage trying to break free from my t-shirt.

“Why do you seem so stressed while you sleep?

“What?” she looked down at me.

“You frown a lot so I know you not dreaming of me cause you’d be moaning” I attempted to tease as I realized she had gotten uncomfortable when I asked.

I had been noticing it for awhile as I was usually up before her and it bothered me. She remained quiet for abit and looked down and then looked at me again.

“Maybe you aren’t satisfying me hence the frown?” I could tell she was avoiding the question which meant there was something up and I bet Kane fucking knew.

I cursed myself for getting annoyed that he probably knew whatever was going on with her, but she did trust him.

“Lets do something to let your mind know I always satisfy you baby” I tipped her over and she began laughing.

“Don’t you have a early meeting today you mentioned it at dinner?” I looked over at the time and realized I had less than a hour and I still had to drive which meant Paul would most likely come knocking.

I groaned into her chest and I felt her fingers gently trace over the stitches on my head while the other traced over my back.

“Er Kenz?” I looked up at her as she looked into my eyes. “This… us.. we cant let people know”

“What do you mean?” she raised her eyebrow and I didn’t know how to explain without making it seem weird.

“Well just keep shit professional” I was never good at putting things subtle. “I mean the less people know the better, I'm not the guy that’s in the papers for relationships and shit. I don’t like people knowing my business ..”

“Okay…” she simply said as she interrupted me, she didn’t continue and looked away from me.

I knew she was upset and I didn’t wanna leave her but I had an important meeting and the last thing I wanted was Paul walking in on another one of our arguments.

“Look I have to get a shower and get going, I’ll be back for lunch..”

“Sure!” she forced a smile and kissed my cheek.

Im pretty sure she had never done that before but I was prepared for hell once I got back to the hotel room. As I got up, she simply turned herself and grabbed her phone and I figured she was probably texting Kane back.

MCKENZIE POV

I had been on the treadmill for about an hour, I had spent most of the morning on the phone with my brother. I certainly didn’t tell him where I was as far as he knew I was in New York but I did miss him and was happy to hear his voice.

I hadn’t spoken to him since Brock’s suspension , but he didn’t bring it up as he knew I needed him. My brother wasn’t all bad sure he treated me badly sometimes but he made up for it so many times and I couldn’t repay him enough for half the shit he had to go through with me.

I glanced over at the clock and saw it was just after one with the music from my iPod blasting.

After the phone call I realized I needed to get out so I slipped on my black gym tights, trainers and a raceback top of my brothers I had as I didn’t feel like the tightness of a tank top. I was going to head out in just my sports bra but figured it was best to throw something over.

Brock caught me abit off guard with his whole ‘keep it a secret’ shit but it didn’t surprise me I don’t know what I was expecting, he didn’t even like the idea of me hugging him in a public place. I couldn’t hide my disappointed though as I didn’t know how to respond and I just wanted to shut him up to prevent him from making me feel worse.

Paul was basically the only one in Brock’s life who could’ve known about me but to him I was just some diva of the month sort of thing for Brock even though he never did that and well for me Kane and Paige knew and my brother I wasn’t sure of.

I was left confused again and Paige’s words of me being a rebound for him rang in my head and I continued running faster hoping I could run away from those words from not being good enough for yet another guy…

“Fuck sis , not again!” I looked up at my brother who had just gotten home and I hoped he wouldn’t be as he was expected to get in a few days later.

He dropped his bags and walked over to the staircase where I was huddled on, holding my knees to my chest. By the way he looked at me I could tell he was looking at my bruised eye and busted lip.

He sat with me and pulled me into his arms, “This time I'm going to find him and kill him” Seth whispered as he took in my bleeding arm and the several other bruises. I couldn’t respond as my words couldn’t escape…

“Fuck!” I jumped off the treadmill and tried to catch my breath as I hadn’t even realized how fast I was going. I guzzled down my water and looked to see if anyone was looking at me like I was some sort of psycho.

I sat down on a bench for a minute or two and then took off Seth’s merch and wiped my face and threw it over my shoulder as I saw one of the trainers walking up to me.The last thing I wanted to do was break down in a fucking gym .

“You okay?”

“Yeah I think I just overdid it!” I tried to smile and he nodded.

“Three hours of cardio will do that to you I guess” and I nearly choked on my water as I hadn’t realized it had been so long.

“Yeah” I breath out and stood up to leave as Brock was probably back in our room.

“Well enjoy your day!” I thanked him and walked out and got into an elevator, I let my hair loose as the tight grip was getting to me.

I walked into the room and for a second I thought I was in the wrong one as it looked like a war had just taken place.

The couches were tipped, lamps broken, everything that could be smashed was and I was surprised that I hadn’t walked in to see security here as they must've heard what happened.

I placed my iPod on the only surviving table next to the door and as I looked up I saw Brock walking from the bedroom with only his trackpants on and his face was blood red as he glared at me as soon as he saw me.

“Where the hell have you been?” he spat out and I jumped, this was the last thing I wanted or needed right now.

“At the gym…”

“I have been calling you for the last fucking two… three hours!” he screamed out as he got closer  to me.

“My phone…” was all I managed to get out.

“Your phone what?” he screamed out yet again.

“Its in the room I didn’t take it with..”

I could feel tears pooling in my eyes and I hated it as I was supposed to be screaming back at him but after the flashes of the past I didn’t have time to recover.

“I don’t have time for…” I turned to open the door as I wanted to get away from him seeing me break down. Its not that I was really afraid of him , I wasn’t as I had gotten used to his tantrums but I wasn’t expecting it now.

I felt the door being slammed shut, “Im sorry , fuck I didn’t mean to scare you” his voice softened and he pulled me into his arms.

I held my hands to my chest as he held me with my face buried in his. “I thought you left and I wasn’t thinking straight, I had a shit meeting and then you weren’t here…” he continued rambling, he was tense even as he held me.

I loved how him holding me felt like the world couldn’t hurt me , the beast was protecting me.

What had happened in the past had to remain there , I really wish my mind could accept it.

A/N: Last update for the weekend so hope you enjoyed it :)
