"Dammit Jen!" Jake yells from outside the door, "I asked for running pants not sweats! You stupid or something? You can't seem to do anything right, completely useless," he growls.

She hands him his running pants in exchange for the sweats grimacing at his words, "I'm sorry Jake I-"

"I don't care right now," he says snatching the pants, "We'll talk later." He wraps the pants around his leg and races toward the trees transforming in mid-stride.

Jen sighs watching her boyfriend disappear into the trees and heads back into the house.

She tries to justify that he's just overworked right now but the last several months have been like this. Him complaining about her nonstop. The love they shared was wearing thin. It didn't feel like he cared about her anymore. He treated her more like his maid than his girlfriend. She was surprised he hadn't fired her yet or something.

Tears dripped down her cheek and she rests her forehead on the counter, when suddenly the shrill ringing of her cell phone drags her from her sadness. A glance at the caller ID makes her heart pound.

"Hello," she answers.

"Baby," a soft purr echoes from the other line.

"Matt," she responds happily.

"How's my beautiful gal doing today?" The southern accent rings through the phone.

"I..." she starts and the morning's events replay in her mind.

"He upset you again didn't he?" Matt asks from the other line.

"H-he called me stupid...and useless...and can't do anything right," she replies holding back a sob.

"I can't even... i can't even imagine anyone even thinking about saying that to you..."he pauses on the other end, "I have half the mind to come over there and take care of whatever drove him to say it," Matt half growls from his end.

"That's not a good idea Matt, I've told you," she replies softly.

A sigh comes from the other line, "You don't deserve to be treated like that. Don't let him make you think otherwise, you understand?"

"I mess up a lot," is all she can think to say.

"So you make a few mistakes now and again. That doesn't give him any right for him to degrade you like that," Matt replies.

"O-ok," she responds.

Silence comes from his end followed by, "Are you busy?"

"No," she answers looking down at Jake's sweatpants in her hands.

"Well I'm in Seattle right now for a show... I get out in about an hour after I shoot my promo. Could you meet me at the Cold Stone on the west side of town? Or will he stop you? I wanna see you really bad, I can't get you out of my head beautiful... you're incredible you know that?"

Jen's heart beats faster at the words and leaves that loving ringing feeling. "He's on patrol right now... he'll probably be out late with the guys, I think I'll be able to make it. Aw thanks."

"I'll meet you there, and I'll be thinking about you," he says happily.

"See you there," she replies closing her phone with a smile. She glances at Jake's pants in her hands, and drops them to the floor. Grabbing her keys and phone she heads out the door stepping on the pants on her way out.
