If looks could kill.
I do not own WWE, or it's superstars. I only own Danielle's character, along with her Father's, Mother's, and Step-Father's characters.
Chapter 11.
Dani slowly woke up, at the sound of the front door shutting. As she slowly opened her eyes, she heard a males voice.
"What the hell is going on here!?" Ben shouted, which woke both Jeff, and Dani up from their sleeping positions they had been in for hours.
Danielle quickly stood up, then followed by Jeff. "Ben! It's... it's not what you think..." Dani stuttered in fear. She was in for it now. Ben walked over to her.
"You fucking tramp!" Ben screamed.
"Whoa whoa! Dude, calm down. We both fell asleep watching a movie. That's all." Jeff said trying to calm him down.
"Stay out of it." Ben poked a finger at him. Jeff walked up to him.
"Jeff. It's fine." Danielle was nearly in tears... as she got in-between them.
"No, it's not fine!" Ben yelled and harshly pushed her out of his way, causing her to fall.
"Keep you're fucking hands off of her." Jeff said as he got down and helped her up. "Are you okay?" Jeff said, then looking up at Ben with a glare. She slightly nodded.
"I can do whatever I want to her. First of all- second of all- She's fine. Now get you're ass out of my house." Ben glared back at Jeff.
"I'm not leaving." Jeff stared down Ben.
"Okay. Fine, stay. Get you're ass arrested. At least if you're in jail, I know you won't be with Dani." Ben said getting face to face with Jeff.
It looked as if Jeff was about to throw a punch or something. But he wasn't going too. He didn't want to upset Dani like that.
"Jeff. Just go. Please." Danielle begged as she tried her best to hold in her tears.
Jeff pulled her off to the side. "Dani, I'm not leaving you alone with him." He said quietly.
"Jeff, I'll be fine. Please, just go before he does something to you." She pleaded.
"Dani..." His eyes pleaded with her.
"Please." She asked one more time.
He looked back up at Ben, then back at Dani. He then walked to the couch and picked up his jacket, and walked back to her. "Meet me at my hotel room in the morning." He whispered in her ear. Then he walked out of the house, slamming the door behind him. Once Ben saw Jeff pull out of the driveway, he walked towards Dani. She closed her eyes, and prayed it wouldn't hurt too bad.
------
The next morning, Jeff was sitting in his hotel room, anxiously waiting for Dani to get there. He had this terrible gut feeling that Ben had hurt her. His gut ended up proving him right, as she walked in the door.
Jeff stared at her. His heart sunk when he saw her nearly in tears. Her left eye was black, and she was holding her stomach... and walking in nearly a limp. Jeff took a deep breath.
"I'm going to kill him." He said in a soft voice, still staring at her.
"Jeff...He..." She got cut off.
"Dani. Don't. Don't make up another excuse for him. Just... stop lying to me. Tell me the truth. He did this to you didn't he?" Jeff looked deeply in her eyes.
She let a tear fall, and Jeff right then and there- knew it was true.
"Damn it!" He stopped and walked to the other end of the room. "How can I have been so stupid! I knew something was up the first time I saw you with you're black eye... but I didn't do anything about it." Jeff sat down on the bed and buried his head in his hands.
"Jeff... don't do that. It's not you're fault. He hardly even hurt me..." She paused as she sat next to him. "The eye only looks bad...he hardly even touched me..." She tried to cover it up that he hurts her worse than Jeff thinks...
"It doesn't matter Dani. He still put his hands on you." She sighed, and let another tear fall. "Did he only hit you in the eye?" Jeff asked.
She was silent for a minute... "Yeah..." She lied, again.
"Then why are you holding you're stomach?" Jeff asked.
She was silent. Jeff then reached over, and gently lifted her shirt up enough to see her ribs. As he brought it up, he was shocked to find her whole rib cage was bruised, and swollen. He put it back down, and then stood up.
"Damn it, Dani..." Jeff put his hands on his hips. "He didn't just hit you in the eye... Now tell me the whole truth. Where else did he hurt you?"
She gulped. "My knee, and my shoulder." She started crying again. Jeff closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He walked over to the bed, and sat down next to her. He wrapped his arms around her, as she cried onto his shoulder. They stayed like that for nearly 5 minutes. Once she calmed down a little, Jeff broke the silence.
"How did he do it?" He softly asked.
She was quiet for a minute, before speaking. "He punched me in the eye...which caused me to fall. Then he kicked me in the stomach a few times. Then he stomped on my arm, and knee..." She looked down.
His eyes softened, and his heart sank once more. He hated seeing her like this. He wished he could just take all of her pain, and put it on himself.
They were quiet once again for a few minutes.
"Oh my god." She looked at her watch. And stood up. "I have to go. I haven't cleaned the house yet, and Ben is coming home for lunch today. He's going to kill me..." She rushed to her jacket and purse.
Jeff quickly got up and stood in front of the door. "You're not going back."
"Jeff. I have too! He's going to hurt me again!" She panicked and started crying, as she tried to push Jeff out of the way.
"Dani. No. I wont let you." He said, trying to grab a hold of her arms so she wouldn't reach the door.
She hit him trying to get him to move, and continued to panic, and cry.
He finally got a hold of her arms and he pulled her to him, and tightly hugged her. She started sobbing in his chest. "He's not going to hurt you again, Shorty. I promise." He whispered, holding her head to his chest. "It's over."

Don't worry- the story isn't ending yet. LOL. Will Jeff's promise be true? Or will Ben find away to get Dani again? Find out soon!
