Chapter 4:
"Ok this is just nuts. Jen, you don't even know the guy and you're letting him stay alone in our appartment and use your brand new car?" Jessica said to me when we got into the car.
"Yes Jess. The way you feel about John is the way I feel about Jeff."
" Listen to me. You can't feel that way. John and I have known each other nearly fifteen years. We didn't start dating until after over ten years. You surely haven't known Jeff long enough to be in love with him. "
"Jess, I knew Alex inside and out. I had known him just shy of fifteen years when I went out with him and you see how that turned out. I don't think it matters how long you've known the person. What matters is how much you care about them." She didn't know how to respond to that one. We arrived at campus and headed toward english class. When I turned the cornor I saw my dad and Clare standing infront of my class. Clare is in my class, but doesn't talk to me because I'm never very nice to her. Dad never brought her to class. Seeing him there scared me.
"Jess, wait. Am I imagining or is my dad standing there talking to Clare?"
"Yes. But don't worry about it. If we don't go in there now we're going to be late." I nervously followed her toward the classroom.
Clare walked in and then dad realized I was walking toward him. "Ah, Jen. You and I need to talk, NOW!"He looked really mad.
"I've got class right now, I'll call you later." I tried to walk in the class, but he grabbed my arm and roughly pulled me in the opposite direction.
"Your boyfriend wants to hit me, well I'll show him." I could smell alcohol on his breath.
"Dad Please DON'T!!" But it didn't do any good. He hit me harder across the head than he had ever hit me. I started crying really hard. I was hoping that would be it, but it wasn't. He was so mad he beat me until three teachers came and pulled him off of me. Jessica called the cops and then ran to check on me.
"Jess, call Jeff," I whisphered and then passed out. When I woke up again, Jess, John, Jeff, and my mom were sitting around my hospital bed.
Jeff was the first one to realize I was awake. "Jen, how are you?" He asked jumping up and running closer to my side. The other three were at the bed in less than thirty seconds.
"I'm ok really. Did they arrest him?" They all looked at each other then back at me.
"Well...You see....He took off before the cops got there," mom spoke softly.
The doctor came in then. "Oh good, she's up. How do you feel Jen? Any pain?" He asked begining to examine me.
"I'm ok, I just want to go home."
"Well, you sustained a hard blow to the head, which made you pass out. As a result, when you came in you had a little swelling to the brain. Now it's pretty much gone, but we have to keep you over night for observation. Other than that, you look okay."
"Can I have someone stay here with me over night please?"
"I don't see why not. That chair pulls out to a bed. Enjoy your evening and I'll be in early tomorrow morning to check on you."
"Thank you doctor." The doctor left.
"Jen, John and I have to get to work. I'll call you later tonight. Feel better soon," Jess said and then her and John left.
"Are you hungry? Let me get you some food. Jeffrey would you like something from McDonalds?" Mom asked.
"Uh, yeah sure, a number five with a coke please. Thanks," Jeff said.
"I want that too ma."
"Ok, I'll be back as fast as I can." She left and then it was just Jeff and I.
"Are you really ok?" Jeff asked as he pulled a chair closer to my bed, sat down, and started rubbing my forehead.
"I am now that you're here. I'm sorry you have to deal with this on your day off. You don't have to stay, you can leave."
"I'm not leaving without ya. Yesterday when I met ya father I suspected that he was no good. It wasn't until now that I realize how no good he actually is. When Jessica told me ya were in the hospital, my heart stopped. I wanted to be next to ya immediatly, to hold ya in my arms, and to show ya that everything would be okay. But I couldn't do that. And I didn't like that. The feeling I had told me what I already knew, I love you with all my heart and soul. I want to protect ya forever. Even if I have to give up wrestling to do it."
"I love you and could NEVER ask you to give up wrestling. Actually I was gonna ask you if I could tour with you."
"Ya are gonna give up college to go on the road with me?"
"Jeff, after today, I never want to step foot on Brown campus again. I'm giving it up one way or another. I would much rather be with you where I know I'm safe than stay here in Rhode Island constantly looking over my shoulder wondering if he's there."
"I would be honored to have ya on the road with me because then I'd be the luckest man alive. I love you Jennifer." We kissed.
The next day I was released from the hospital and went straight home to pack. When I told my mom my plans she told me I was nuts but she understood why I need to. Jess and John both helped me move even though they both told me I was crazy.
Jeff and I had rented a moving van, and drove down to Cameron, North Carolina together. He was allowing me to leave my things at his place and just bring what I needed on the road with me. We unloaded the van Thursday, drove it back Friday, and then caught a plane back to North Carolina where that nights house show would take place. When we got to the arena things were chaotic.
"Has anyone seen Alice?" Vince shouted.
"Whose Alice?" I whispered to Jeff.
"A new valet whose supposed to debut tonight." She was no where around. No one had seen her either. Vince then saw me. He had met me the night after I met Jeff.
"Jen, if Alice don't show will you do it for me, please?" He begged me.
"Sure, no problem."
"Ok, go get ready. Jeff find her something sexy that she can wear to accompany Albert and Scotty 2 Hottie," Vince instructed.
"Sure thing boss." We ran to a local store and bought me a hot pink halter top and a pair of skin tight jeans. We went back to teh arena and then I had to go to make-up. Before that, Vince had me sign a 90 day trial contract and told me what I had to do that night.
An hour later, I made my debut. I was teamed with Scotty and Albert. My job was simple. They were wrestling against the Dudley boys and all I had to do was slap D-von acrros the face and run behind Albert who would then power bomb D-von, win the match, and then hoist me on his shoulders and walk up the ramp. That's exactly how it worked out. The crowd went wild when we first entered. Scotty grabbed a microphone and announced I was their new manager, Desiree. When I got in the back, Jeff was there waiting.
"Ya did awesome baby," He said greeting me with a hug.
"Jennifer, fantastic job. How would you like to debut on Monday Night Raw?" Vince asked.
"Really??"
"Yeah sure. We'll have you valet for a while until Jeff and Amy teach you enough so you can put on an actual match."
"Ok great thanks Vince."
"You're welcome." He walked off.
"Oh my god. Do you believe it? Jeff can you believe this? It's a dream come true. Oh My God!" I screamed.
"Calm down baby. Congratulations. I have to do go my match. Paul and Stephanie told me they wanted to talk to ya."
"Ok." We kissed and I went to find Paul and Steph.
"Ok this is just nuts. Jen, you don't even know the guy and you're letting him stay alone in our appartment and use your brand new car?" Jessica said to me when we got into the car.
