Ryleigh laid down on Adam's bed later that night, still worried about Justin. She felt Adam lay down beside her. He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her to him. "Don't worry. I will always protect you."

She turned to face him. "I just don't know what he will do. I mean everyone who works at the coffee house is a target because they are my friends. Katelyn is a major target because she's my best friend and roommate."

"But Katelyn has John and I don't think he will let anything happen to her. And you called all your friends right? To warn them about him." She nodded. "We will get through this okay?"

"Okay." She said softly.

"Let's rest." He said to her as he pulled her closer. She rested her head on his chest and listened to his heartbeat. She hoped he was right and Justin would get the idea. "Chris thinks it's funny that you're my girlfriend. But he's happy for us."

"Funny how?" She asked.

"Because he told me that I should just go for it with you. He knew before I did."

She laughed. "Well, I guess we just follow fate?"

"I didn't realize you believed in that."

"I don't. Not really. That's more Katelyn's thing. But you and I just clicked from the beginning."

"Yeah we did. Now lets get some rest. Mike and Cody want to meet us for breakfast in the morning." She nodded and got comfortable by him. She was soon asleep.

Katelyn walked into the coffee shop the next day. John had headed to work too. He knew she would be safe at the coffee shop. She walked in and saw from the schedule that Mike and Adam were due in about nine. Ryleigh was off that day but she would probably come in to talk to Adam. She breathed a sigh of relief when she didn't see Justin outside the apartment or outside the shop.

"Hey, Katelyn." She heard from the counter.

"Hey, Chris, right? Adam's brother." She said to him.

"I am." He replied.

"Well it's nice to meet you. What can I get you?"

"Latte and a blueberry muffin."

"Coming up." She said as she turned to the machine.

"Where's your help?"

"The manager is in the back. Mike and Adam are coming in at nine. And the other girl is stocking the cooler."

"Ryleigh's pretty shaken up by this whole thing. She's worried about you guys."

"We're all worried about her." She said as the door opened and Justin and his friends walked in. Katelyn sighed. "Here is your latte and muffin." She said handing Chris his order. He moved over to get napkins as Justin stepped up. Chris noticed Justin as he leaned in close to the register.

"Ryleigh here?" He asked her.

"No. She's not." She said. "What can I get you?"

He huffed. "Latte and a scone."

"Coming up." She faked smiled and walked to the machine. Justin looked around hoping to see Ryleigh.

"So Katelyn...did you hear that Ryleigh and Adam are having dinner with her brother tonight? They've asked me to go too. It's getting pretty serious I think." Chris replied.

"It sounds like it if both families are meeting in a sense." Katelyn said as she made the latte. She put the lid on the cup and got the scone. "I think it's great. Ryleigh needs a great guy." She said as she walked back to the counter. "Here you go Justin. A latte and a scone."

Justin glared at her for a moment and picked up the cup of hot coffee and threw it at her. She had just enough time to duck and the cup hit the machine. Chris turned him around and pushed him.

"What the hell is your problem?" Justin looked at him.

"Your brother messing with something that's not his." The door opened up and Adam, Cody, Mike and Ryleigh walked in. And so did Randy. He'd called Ryleigh and told her he'd meet her at the coffee shop so that they could hang out before dinner that night.

"There a problem here?" Randy asked instantly going into cop mode.

"Yes, there is." Chris said letting Justin go. "He threw a hot cup of coffee at Katelyn. Luckily she moved and it hit the machine instead."

Ryleigh, Cody and Mike ran around the counter to check on Katelyn. "He's also been harassing Ryleigh for weeks." Adam said causing Randy to look at him. "We were going to tell you tonight." Randy looked at Ryleigh.

"That true?" Ryleigh nodded. "You wanna press charges Katelyn?"

"Yes I do."

Justin looked at her. "You stupid bitch. You haven't seen anything yet."

"Justin Gabriel, you're under arrest for assault and threatening of Katelyn Hennigan."

"Neither of you know what you've just done." Randy snapped the cuffs on tighter as the back up he'd called for arrived.

"Get him out of here. I'll be down to the station in a few." Randy said and Officer Bryan nodded and took him away. He then turned his attention to Katelyn. "Stephen will be here to take your statement." And then he looked at Ryleigh. "Is there somewhere we can talk?"

"I'm sure Drew wouldn't mind if we used the break room."

"Good. Then I need to see you, Adam and Chris." The three of them followed him into the break room. "So, tell me exactly what is going on. And don't leave anything out."

"Justin's been harassing her for months. He comes in every day, he shows up at her apartment randomly. He even followed us when we were going out one day."

Randy looked at his sister. "Why didn't you tell me this before now? I could done something."

"I didn't want you to worry. I thought I could handle it. But after Adam kissed me that first time, it's only gotten worse."

"Has he threatened you before?" Randy asked. "Has he Ryleigh?"

"No. This is the first time he's threatened me. But he won't take the hint and leave me alone."

"He will now." Randy said walking out of the break room. He saw that the patrol officers were there and taking Justin into custody. "Take him to the station and book him on the assault charge." They nodded and headed out with him. "Did you get Katelyn's statement?" He asked Stephen.

"I did."

"Is it enough for a restraining order?"

"Seeing that Justin showed up at her apartment and then today he throws coffee at her. I'm sure we can get one that would require him to stay 250 feet away from her."

"Take Ryleigh's statement. I want a restraining order for her too." He nodded and walked over to talk to Ryleigh. He took her statement and they all headed down the police station. The judge would issues the restraining orders and then Justin would be booked. Randy hoped this kept Justin away from Ryleigh. "And do me a favor...run a background check on this Copeland kid."

"Sure no problem." He said walking out.

Randy sighed once they left. He couldn't believe Ryleigh would keep this from him. He would make sure Justin stayed away from her. He walked out and headed to the police station.
