17.
Chloe
After a hardworking shift, I decided to head back home for the night and watched Joe cut a promo against Colby during SmackDown. I still knew little-to-nothing about wrestling, but he looked sexy standing in the middle of the ring; just like he did when we first met that night.
While the time was inching closer to midnight, I started hearing sudden knocking on my door and I thought Emma was coming to visit me for the night.
I walked down to the door and when I opened it, there was a tallish man standing right in front of me with a pair of shades on; and because I knew exactly who this man was, my face grew pale and I was almost frozen in place like I had seen a ghost.
"Hey baby. It's been awhile."
"Joshua..." I paused, "Wh-What are you doing here?"
"I thought I'd make a small trip over to see you." He said, gazing his eyes from my face and down to my ass while seductively licking his lips, "Mmm, you look so fucking good, baby."
His hand started to press against my waist and trailed down to my ass.
"Joshua, stop it!"
He chuckled, "Stop what, baby? You used to like that shit, remember?"
"No, I didn't."
"You weren't saying that a long time ago. I know you've been missing me and this dick."
"Joshua, I want nothing to do with you. You know exactly what you did back then and I don't want you anywhere near me anymore. Leave before I call the cops."
I almost pulled out my phone to call for help and then he smacked it out from my hand and almost broke the screen.
"What's gonna happen if I don't, huh?" He crooked a smile.
I remember I had a self-defense tool locked in my cabinet near the door, and I quickly pulled out some pepper-spray and sprayed him in the eyes.
"Goddammit! You fucking bitch! My eyes!" Joshua screamed in agony as his eyes were burning.
"That's what you get for coming back here. I'm calling the cops on your ass."
I quickly picked up my phone from the floor and called for help. The police didn't hesitate to arrive just two minutes after pleading for help.
"Ma'am. What happened?" An officer asked.
"My psychotic ex-boyfriend came back to my house and was putting his hands on me when I told him to leave and never come back."
"You're coming with us, scumbag."
The officers pinned Joshua against the wall and cuffed his hands.
"This isn't the last time you're gonna see me, baby girl. I'll be back for you!" He winked.
The police officers took a moment and asked questions about Joshua for the next few minutes while they locked him inside of the police car; handcuffed and unable to escape.
"Thank you. Please, keep him away from me!"
Joe
After SmackDown, I called up Chloe through FaceTime with a smile on my face and I couldn't wait to talk to her. After she accepted the call, I flashed a smile at how beautiful she looked tonight.
"Hey baby."
"H-Hey." She sniffled.
Noticing that she was hiding her face, my eyebrows furrowed in concern, "Baby, are you okay?"
I noticed that she wasn't acting like herself. The tone in her voice had changed and she was slightly stuttering on her words whenever she'd speak to me. What was going on?
"I'm fine, Joe." She faked a smile, "Just fine."
I shook my head, "Nah, I'm not buying that."
"Okay, okay..." She dropped her head in defeat and started to panic. "Joshua was at my house."
Who the fuck was Joshua?
Then it hit me, she used to tell me that Joshua was the name of her abuser. The man who traumatized her and made her feel less of a woman. Beaten her and degraded her on a daily basis. The mere thought of him made me wish I could kill him on the spot.
My eyes furrowed, "What did he do to you, Chloe?"
"He came over to my house and refused to leave when I noticed that it was him. Then it gets worse, he tried to grope me; and when I called the police, they took him away, but he said this wasn't the last time I'd ever see him."
I sat down on my bed in silence while Chloe continued to vent to me about him. My eyebrows were still furrowed and my upper lip was twitching nonstop.
"So you mean to tell me that bastard came to your house, groped your ass and is now stalking you?" I huffed.
"Y-Yes, Joe."
"If he suddenly gets bailed out of prison, his ass better run because I'm not afraid to commit a murder." I smiled.
"Joe, please don't do anything you'd regret."
"Listen, I love you and I'm not gonna have some psychotic ex-boyfriend of yours continuing to stalk and traumatize you." I sighed, "Nobody deserves that; especially not you, baby, and if he attempts this shit one more time, I'm killing his ass and I'll make sure there's no witnesses either."
Chloe remained silent for a moment and looked back at the camera.
"Can you come over?"
"Yeah. I'm coming over, and I'll let you know when I'm at your doorstep. Lock the doors. Now."
"Of course!"
Chloe went over to her front door and locked it along with the back doors and windows. I was worried for her life with the way this guy was talking to her. And to stalk her in her own home? I worried even more for her safety.
"Listen, I'm packing my things and I'm taking a flight up to Toronto right now."
All she did was reply with a nod and we wrapped up the conversation. It wasn't long until I left the hotel and accidentally bumped into Colby.
"Hey brother. What's going on?"
"I'm going back to Toronto."
"Ah, because of Chloe?"
"Mhm." I nodded, "Something's come up and I'm gonna check on her."
"Damn, what happened?"
"Her psychotic ex-boyfriend went to her house, tried to cause some trouble, and he got arrested but I'm still making my way over there either way."
"Do what you gotta do, Joe. Thankfully you're not having to work any live events for awhile."
"Yeah, I'm grateful for that too. Listen, I gotta go."
"I understand." Colby nodded, "Take care, brother."
I left the hotel and quickly booked my flight to Toronto. I wasn't happy to know that Chloe was still going through this whole ordeal with her ex-boyfriend.
After a few long hours of taking my flight in my private jet, I landed at the Toronto Airlines and I quickly made my way over to Chloe's. When I arrived, I pulled out my phone and messaged her.
I'm outside baby.
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Okay...I'm coming to unlock the door.
After she unlocked the door, I rushed myself towards her and reeled her into a hug.
"Hey, how are you feeling?"
"I'm okay. I'm still a little shook up."
I nodded, "I know, I know."
We walked over to the couch in the living room and we sat down together. She was still trembling and I could tell that this was fucking with her head.
"Come here, baby." I said in a deepened voice, "Let me hold you."
I pulled her closer into my embrace and I allowed her to lay on my chest. I could feel her heart beginning to race, and she hasn't said a word in minutes.
"Are you alright, baby?"
"Trying to be."
I sighed, "I feel like there's something you're not telling me."
"But, I-"
"Chloe." I sat up from the couch and placed my hand underneath her chin, allowing her eyes to meet with mine. "What are you not telling me, baby?"
She dropped her head in defeat once more.
"You won't tell anyone?"
I shook my head, "I won't tell a soul. Your secret is forever safe with me."
She brought a pinkie out; initiating a pinkie promise and I cocked an eyebrow, "Um?"
"I'm kidding, Joe." She sighed, "I just wanted to distract you, but Joshua was the same guy who also tried raping me in the past; he would always throw punches to my face and cause a lot of damage in the past. He always sexually assaulted me and treated me as if I was an object instead of a woman. No matter how many times I tried to leave him, he abused me to the point I almost died at one point in the hospital."
I looked into those eyes, full of hurt and heartbreak and it sent me into rage on the inside as my upper lip started to twitch and my eyebrows began to furrow like before.
"That fucking bastard." I huffed, "He's dead if he ever crosses paths with me. I don't care if I'm in the middle of the ring, out in public, or in the back of a darkened alley. I'm killing his ass if he ever bothers you again and if I ever see him."
"I wouldn't mind that."
"You sure?"
"Mhm. I'm just glad that you're back."
"I'm glad too, baby." I pulled her close to me and ran my hand around her back.
I looked her in the eyes and pressed my lips against hers with passion, "I'll protect you, baby."
