Disclaimer: I do not own the characters affiliated with WWE, I do own Nicole Michael's however. This story is completely AU! This is my first fic so be gentle, reviews are welcomed! Caution: This chapter contains a non-consensual scene, you have been warned!
Nicole woke up to the soothing stroke of a man's hand on her hair. It was dark outside. "John?" she asked sitting up to see not John, but Adam who immediately twisted around, holding her tightly against his body and cupping her mouth.
"Poor Dave," he cooed stroking her cheek, "but I guess that's what happens when you betray a Michaels'."
Nicole felt his hand drift down her body and inside her gown.
"Perhaps you should start to take me seriously," Adam growled in her ear. "If daddy finds out what a naughty girl you've been, well, I'd hate to think what he'd do to you."
She tried to relax, struggling was what Adam thrived on, but his roaming hand was making her feel dirty.
"Now," he said letting his hands go between her legs, "be a good girl and go about your business. No more drawing attention to you and I, and I wouldn't recommend running to Cena or Orton, because look where it got Dave." She nodded her head trying to steady her breathing. He began to kiss her neck. "Relax sweetie," he moaned in her ear. "I want what Jeff got, but not yet, I'll leave that for later. For now, I think I promised you once I'd make you scream my name," he said as he began rubbing her clit. "You're going to fall for me," he said as she tried to fight against him, but he was too strong. "And we're going to be happy; and soon we'll get married and have children. Your grandmother would be so proud." Nicole tried to close her mind to his bullshit, but it wasn't working. He was whispering his sweet nothings into her ear. "Soon my dear, it will be soon," he said as she cried out with her orgasm.
He's a fucking nutcase, she thought to herself clutching her gown over her body.
He got up and walked to the door. "Remember, not a word," and left the room.
Nicole ran to the bathroom, jumped into the marble shower and scrubbed herself clean, sobbing. She sank to the floor and rocked herself. He was a monster, and was going to destroy her if it was the last thing he did.
When she woke the next morning she found Maria sleeping next to her. She must have found out what happened yesterday. Was I out that long?
She got out of bed and went to get changed into an oversized tee-shirt and skinny leg jeans. Her skin was still raw from the scrubbing. She went to the bathroom and washed her face. Her eyes had lost their lustre. Her face looked pale and gaunt. The last thing she wanted was to go down and face Adam, but she couldn't hide in her room forever.
Nicole pulled her hair into a ponytail and went downstairs to find the dining room deserted.
"They've all gone to church." She turned around to see John standing with his hands in his pocket. She nodded before running into his arms. "I'm sorry you had to see that. I know you loved Dave as a brother, but he betrayed us."
"I know," she said pulling away. "I need to be alone for a while, please make sure Maria's okay when she wakes up."
"Where are you going?"
"It doesn't matter."
"It matters to me," he said looking into her eyes. She could see the sadness and loneliness. Dave had been a great friend to him and the loss was hurting him as much as Nicole.
"I'm sorry," she said backing away and running out of the house. She ran as fast as she could to Jeff's, the only safe place she knew. She needed to be in his arms. She dodged the driving cars and children playing in the streets.
She ran to the door pounding her hands against it. Shannon opened the door only to have her thrust herself into his arms sobbing.
"What's wrong?" he asked pulling her inside.
"I need to see Jeff," she said in between sobs. Shannon nodded and went upstairs to find Jeff.
"What are you doing here?" Matt asked coming into kitchen. "Did daddy cut you off? Or did he cut something off?"
"I don't know what you're talking about," she said wiping away her tears.
"I know who your daddy is."
"So do I," Jeff said coming down the stairs. He took Nicole in his arms and held her close. "And I accept her for who she is because I love her." He led Nicole out to the backyard before Matt could respond.
Shannon turned to Matt, "Get off your high horse. Unlike you, there's no way for her to get out. Jeff's the only thing she's got."
Jeff held Nicole as she sobbed in his arms where they sat on the bench in the garden by the pool. "What's wrong baby girl?"
"Daddy shot Dave," she cried. "He was giving some guy called Nash information."
Jeff's heart froze, but now wasn't the time. "We need to get you out of there."
"Don't you see, we can't get out of here," she cried, looking up at him with pleading eyes. "They'll find us and they'll kill us."
"What do you mean? No one knows we're together."
"One of dad's men found out," she sighed, "he's been threatening me."
"Why didn't you tell me?"
"I couldn't," she said quietly. "He knows about the baby. He knows about Shannon. He'll tell dad."
"What does he want with you?"
"He wants to marry me. I think he wants to be the new head when dad goes. Sounds like something out of a bad movie, doesn't it?" she asked sadly. "It's not safe for you to be with me."
"No, we are not ending this, that's what he wants."
"And if my father finds out he will kill us."
Jeff thought. If only she knew the truth, if only I could tell her. I must sort this out. "Let him play his games, your father will not find out about Europe."
"I can't believe you're risking your life to stay with me," she said cupping his face with her hands.
"You're everything to me," he said, "you're the reason I even stayed here. I was going to leave, I was going to go home but you came into my life and I couldn't leave. I couldn't stand to go another day without seeing your beautiful smile."
Nicole pulled him into a searing kiss. "I love you."
He hugged her tightly. "Let me show you that I love you." He carried her upstairs and threw her onto the bed.
When Nicole woke up Jeff lay across from her watching her sleep.
"Hey, what time is it?" she asked and kissed him gently on the lips.
"Six o'clock," he said smiling lazily.
"I need to be back for dinner," she said sadly.
"It'll be fine sweetie," Jeff said, "I'll sort everything out."
"How?"
"Do you trust me?"
"Of course."
"Then I will sort things out."
A/N: Thankyou so much for the reviews Ms Shannygoat- yes if I were living in that house I'd be sleeping with them all too! Call me a whore, but it would be illegal not to!
