Erick woke up to the sound of his phone ringing. He reached blindly for it and opened his eyes once he had it in his hand. His girlfriend's name flashed across the screen. Something had to be wrong if she called him in the middle of the night.
"Lynn?" He asked.
"He's here, Erick!" She whispered as loudly as she dared.
"Who's there?" He asked.
"Luke! He's here! He's inside!" He could hear she was crying. "He's come to kill me!"
Erick flew out of the bed. No one knew the real reason WWE had pulled him and Luke apart. Sure, he had been injured at Summerslam but even without the injury they were supposed to be pulled apart. All because Luke couldn't keep his hands off Erick's girlfriend Lynn. He had turned into a psychotic creep around her, not understanding that she didn't want anything to do with him. Luke had already been released. WWE just hadn't announced it officially yet.
"Hang on, baby, I'll be there soon!" He said.
He stormed out of his house bare footed, only wearing his blue and white checkered pajama pants. Lynn lived close by in her own house and he sprinted towards it while having the phone on speaker so he could still hear her.
"Erick!" She pleaded.
"I'm almost there!" He shouted.
Luke's dark voice tore through his phone in an almost singsong manner.
"Lynn!" He called out. "Where are you, sweet cakes? I lost my job because of you but there's no way I'm losing my girl too!"
"Shit!" Erick hissed.
Luke had to be close to Lynn when his voice came through like that. How close he was got clear just a few seconds later when her scream tore through the phone.
"Lynn!" Erick shouted.
"There you are!" Luke's voice was dark and full of hate. "Give me that! Who are you calling anyway?"
The call got disconnected and Erick had to swallow back his fears. He turned down her road and continued sprinting, inwardly cursing that she had to live in the other end of the street. Every second mattered and he wasn't gonna let her down.
"Lynn!" He burst through her front door. "Lynn! Baby! Where are you?"
The house was way too quiet and he swallowed hard before running from room to room in search of her. He found her on the bedroom floor, her arms under the bed as if she had tried to drag herself back under it.
"No!" He fell to his knees. "No! No! No!"
It was impossible to say how many stab wounds she had in her chest and stomach and there was no way he could save her. She was already gone. The kitchen knife laid next to her, laughing up in his tear stained face.
"No!" He pulled her up in his arms and buried his head in her vanilla scented hair. "No, baby, no!"
