I stuck my key in the apartment door and walked in. I didn't go pick up my dog, and now I wish I had. At least then I wouldn't seem weird if I just started talking to myself. I could always talk to my dog. As soon as I sat down on the couch my phone wrang.

" Hello." I said.

" So you did get to go home, you bastard." I heard Adam say chuckling on the other end. " I heard Gwen smashed her hand pretty good though."

" It's broken." I said. I felt bad that she broke her hand trying to help me retain the Hardcore Championship.

" That sucks ass." he said. " But at least you got to go home a few days early."

" Yeah, but I have a bad feeling that something is going to happen to Gwen while she's home." I said, finally saying it to someone other than myself.

" Terry, you can't get involved with her. She's happy with Taylor."

" I know she is, but he's not happy with her. He called earlier tonight and started yelling at her over the phone. I'm worried about her Adam."

" She'll be okay Terr. She's tough." Adam said.

" She cried because he didn't say that he loved her back." I told him.

" It's probbly just her time of the month and her emotions are all out of wack." he said. I smacked my head in frustration.

" I know that's not it. She normally warns me when it is so I don't say or do anything stupid to upset her for no reason. I've felt her wrath when she's PMSing and I know that was not it." I said. I heard Adam say some other stuff, that I wasn't listening to and was brought out of my transe by a beeping on the phone. " I've got another call Adam. I'll be back." I said. I hit the flash button.

" Hello, Gerin residence." I said, feeling goofy.

" Terry, I need your help." It was Gwen. I sat up straight.

" What's up?" I asked.

" Can I stay with you for a while?" she asked, I heard her sniffle.

" Of course you can." I said. " What's wrong?"

" I'll show you when I get there." she said. " See you soon."

" Bye." I said to the dial tone. I clicked back over to the other line and back to Adam.

" Who was it?" he asked.

" Gwen, she said that she needed to stay with me for a while." I said panicked. I knew something was going to happen.

" She's going to Detroit from Tulsa tonight."

" I don't know. She wouldn't tell me what was wrong." I said. I suddenly became aware that I was standing up. My knees went weak and I fell to the floor.

" Terry! You okay? Answer me." Adam said.

" Yeah, my knees just buckled, that's all." I said, laying on the floor, not wanting to get back up. " Adam, do you realize that it's two in the morning?" I asked, doubting that he did.

" It's only 12 here." he said. I made myself comfortable on the floor and layed there talking to Adam for another hour when he finally got tired and fell asleep. I hung up and layed there, still on the floor and looked up at the ceiling of my apartment. I knew that I wouldn't be able to sleep untill I knew Gwen was safe.

About two hours later (four o'clock in the morning), I heard a knock on my apartment door. I did a nip-up and ran to the door. I opened it to see Gwen standing there with her bags, soaked from the rain falling outside. I looked at her face.

" What happened to you? You look like you've been through a hardcore match." I said, taking her bags and helping her into the aparment. She didn't say anything and I looked at her.

" He beat me Terry. He beat me." she said. Now there would be hell to pay.
