Chapter 14

"Another week over, another casualty, this time poor Mario" Brooke said as she entered the room she was sharing with Willow, who was already in there, with Jeff and Khloe. "At this rate, Dean won't have any friends left in this house" Jeff replied, making the girls giggle as Willow tried to forget the events from the previous week.

Willow awoke early on the Monday morning, slowly made her way to the bathroom where she thought about who she was going to see today where she shuddered with fear, her father Eric Bischoff. Last time I faced Eric, I had Matt with me she thought to herself I wish he was coming with me today as she felt a single tear roll down her cheek and stepped into the hot shower, where she broke down in tears once again, unaware that over 2000 miles away, the one man she really wanted to see was already on his way to LA.

25000 feet in the air, Matt Hardy felt his cell vibrate in his pocket. He took it out and smiled at the message that his young brother had just sent him:

Hey Matty, how hot did Willow look this weekend? Bet you're feeling a bit silly now for leaving her. Today is the day she goes to visit you know who, but I'm starting to think that she's having second thoughts. She couldn't stop saying your name last night; she was shaking really badly and was crying. Matt, I don't think she can do this without you.

Matt reread the message before replying:

Hey Jeff, Willow looked amazing this weekend and yeah I feel a bit stupid but she shouldn't have kissed that Dean guy. I know that she's off to see him today, she needs answers but I feel like this is a really bad idea which will only result in her getting hurt all over again and I don't want her to have to suffer anymore than what she already has at his hands. I'm just glad that she has you and Brooke looking out for her in the house, and don't worry little bro, I'll be seeing you sooner than you think

As soon as his plane landed, he jumped straight into a taxi and headed for the prison where Eric was currently serving time, knowing that that would be the best place to catch Willow and hopefully stop her from making a huge mistake.

Willow sat in the back of the taxi, her head spinning with all the questions she had to ask him, heading to the prison where she was about to visit her father, Eric Bischoff. The man who had raped her mom when she was only 12, stalked her for months less than 2 years ago, then last year kidnapped her, tortured and raped her, only for it to be revealed that he was in fact her father. A sudden wave of nausea came over her as the taxi came to a grinding halt. She had arrived at the prison and there was no turning back now. She paid the driver and took a deep breath as she stepped out into the fresh air. She started walking slowly towards the entrance, the fear of what she had endured in the past from Eric made her begin to panic. I am doing the right thing aren't I? she thought to herself, before taking another deep breath yes, I am. He knows something and I need answers that only he can give me. As she entered the prison, she got one of the biggest surprises of her life. There stood in front of her was Matt.

"Matt, what are you doing here?" Willow asked, shocked but unable to hide the glee in her voice "hey Little Red. I thought you might need some support in there with him, after everything he's done to you and Ames" Matt replied, unable to take his eyes off his former lover. "Willow I'm sor" he started to say but Willow cut him off "Matt, I'm glad that you're here, but I need to see him on my own" she said confidently, before saying "but if you wait here, I'll tell you everything he says over lunch?" Matt nodded in agreement, not wanting to upset or hurt her "ok Wills, whatever you want, and I'll get lunch" as she smiled, before being led through the double doors to the visiting room, where she about to come face to face with her nightmares.

"Willow, how good of you to finally come and see me" Eric said, standing up to greet his daughter, but she was having none of it "Eric, what did you mean the other week when you said that 'someone was out to hurt me?'" she asked, unsure if she was gonna like what she was about to hear. "I meant exactly that Willow. Someone close to you is out to split you and Matt so they can have you all for themselves" he replied "yeah, we've figured that part out Eric. We know who it is, its Dean who is doing the show with me. But I had a feeling that you knew more than you were letting on when you came to see me the other week" Willow said, "but you are not the only visitor I've had lately" "what do you mean Willow?" Eric asked, confused by this statement "Molly. She's been released on appeal" she replied, "Wow, that is huge Willow" Eric said, clearly surprised by this revelation "do you think this has any connection with the person who is out to hurt you?" "Honestly Eric, I don't know. This whole situation has got me so stressed and upset. Its straining my relationships, not only with Matt but the rest of the family as well" she replied, close to tears, which Eric could see "Look Willow, if Dean is out to split you and Matt up, then you need to be on your guard. Keep close to those who you trust, especially while you're doing the show. As for Molly, it wouldn't surprise me if the two situations were related, it sounds as though they might be in it together, but I'll try and find out some more about it" Willow nodded and as she stood up to leave Eric called out to her, "Willow, stay strong. You are a tough girl. You know where I am if you need me and I won't be going anywhere" leaving her stood in the middle of the room, tears silently flowing over her face.

Matt didn't know how long he had been waiting in the foyer of the prison for Willow, when she suddenly came running out of the visiting room, he could see the tears on her face as he raced after her. "Willow, wait up" he yelled as he chased after her, grabbing her wrist and pulling her close to him, where she completely broke down. Matt hadn't seen Willow like this since Eric stalked her and it reminded him just how much he loved her. "Willow what did he say? Please talk to me" he whispered "Matt please, just let me go. You don't have to care. In fact, you shouldn't care about me" she replied pushing him away "I'm just one messed up girl who fucked up the best thing she ever had" "Willow, you didn't..." he started to reply but she cut him off "Matt, you shouldn't have come here today. Just stay away from me" as she headed towards the taxi that was waiting for her, leaving Matt completely stunned at the 180 that Willow had done since seeing Eric and he made the decision to go in and see him himself, but before he did he sent a message to the one person he trusted and knew would look after Willow.

Willow made her way into the house, her eyes stinging from the tears that she had cried on the way back from the prison. She longed to find Jeff and Brooke and tell them everything that had happened, but they were nowhere to be found. The only person who was in the house was the one person Willow really wanted to avoid, Dean. "Hey Wills, what's wrong" he asked, putting his arms around her, and to his surprise she didn't push him away. In fact she did the opposite, and moved in closer to him, he could feel the wetness from her tears on his chest, "everything is fucked up Dean" she sobbed "Matt, Eric, us. Ever since I started this show, my life has gone from good to rock bottom" "Wills, everything will work itself out, you'll see" Dean replied, before kissing Willow on her forehead, but as he did, she moved her head so he kissed her on the lips and to his surprise, she kissed back "Dean, thank you. For being here today" she whispered as she moved in for another kiss, took him by the hand and led him to his room, where they kissed once more, and ended up in bed together.
