A few weeks passed and Jayden didn't recieve anymore notes or calls. She became really close with some of the wrestlers, but extremely close with Dave and John. Lita was still the only one who knew some of Jayden's past and she kept her promise about keeping it between them till Jayden was ready to tell everyone.
Jayden sat between Dave and John or the flight to Maryland. She was nervous about getting so close to home. The guys noticed she seemed distant this week as did the girls and other wrestlers. She seemed to be crawling into a hole all by herself.
"So baby girl are we gonna get to see your home today?" Dave asked.
Jayden shrugged "I don't know. I do need to stop by my apartment to pick up a couple more bags, and since we're only gonna be a few hours away I guess getting them now would be smart."
John looked at Jayden as she said this. She seemed so down lately, she barley smiled anymore.
" Are you okay? You seem really far away."
" I'm just tired. I'm fine." Jayden said giving a weak smile.
Dave put his arm around Jayden's shoulder and she leaned into him falling asleep quick.
The flight landed and after everyone got settled into their rooms they all decided to look around and go shopping.
Jayden drove the one van they rented while Adam followed behind her in the other. Rey,John, Dave, Randy, Trish, Carlito, Mark, and Hunter rode with Jayden while Glen, Lita, Christy,Ric,Shawn, Chris M, Chris Benoilt, and Chris Jericho rode with Adam.
"So Jayden where are we going?" Randy asked.
"I guess my apartment first, and then I can show you around my hometown. Plus I promised Frank, and Karie I'd stop by the Mall and see them."
Hunter laughed a little "Don't sound so enthused."
Jayden smiled a little. They drove for two and a half hours before they pulled up in front of a small apartment building.
Jayden unbuckled her seat belt "I'll be back in a few. Trish you wanna come?"
"Sure."
"Well we wanna come." Carlito said in a whiny voice that cause the others to laugh.
Jayden let out a fake frustrated sigh "Oh alright, If you have to. I'll tell the others to go ahead to the mall, and we'll meet them there in about 35 minutes."
After Jayden did this everyone followed her up the stairs to her apartment. She unlocked the door and let everyone in before closing the door behind her.
"Make yourselves at home, I'll be back out in a minute." Jayden walked into her bedroom while everyone looked around.
There were pictures of her and her friends on the walls and on some of the shelves, she also had a large book collection beside her bedroom door.
Trish was looking at a picture on her dresser when she noticed the flashing light on the answering machine. "Hey J, you got a message out here!"
"Can you press play for me? I can hear it in here."
Trish pressed the button then moved to sit on the couch.
"Hey JoJo. It's Frank give me a call when you get this message. You haven't been picking up your cell lately and I wanna make sure your okay. Love ya girl."
(BEEP)
"Hey J, it's Jenn. I heard you were out of town working a new job. I hope everything goes okay. I just wanted to let you know that I'm sorry I wasn't there for you with everything that happened with Colten. He was a jerk and you deserve better.I'm glad he's in jail. Call me sometime."
(BEEP)
"Hello Jayden. You probably thought you got rid of me didn't you..."
Jayden stepped out of her bedroom and just stared at the machine. The guys saw the frightened look on her face.
"You'll always be mine. I can't
and won't let you go. You should know by now that things have a way
of happening to those who go against me. You think when I put you in
the hospital a few months ago was bad just wait. By the way I'm closer to you than you think."
As he began to laugh in the machine Jayden ran to the machine and turned it off. She picked up her phone and dialed fast.
"Please pick up, please pick up." She whispered to herself.
"Hi You got Karie and Chris leave a message."
"Shit!" Jayden then dialed Frank's number.
"Jayden what's going on? Who was that and what was he saying about putting you in a hospital?" Trish asked as she stood up.
"It's a long story. Come on Frank pick up."
On the fifth ring there was a knock on the front door. Jayden hung up and walked to the door applying the lock.
"Yeah!"
When there was no answer Jayden went to look through the peep hole, but as she did someone slammed into her door at full force.
"Ahh! Go away!"
"Come on baby open up the door, and we can finish this bitch !"
"Colten go away or I swear I'll call the cops."
" You can't hide forever. Your mine! Got it!"
Jayden picked up her phone and dialed 911. "Colten your sick. I'm not afraid of you anymore!"
"We'll see."
When it got really quiet Jayden hung up the phone and looked out the door. No one was there.
Jayden put her back to the door and slid down as the tears fell from her eyes.
"Baby girl. What's going on?" Dave asked sitting beside her.
Jayden looked him in the face and could see the concern " I have a lot to tell you all about my past. I just don't know where to start."
"How about you start with the guy who tried to break down your door." John said.
"He was my boyfriend. We broke up a few months back. He put me in the hospital when he beat me up with a metal baseball bat. I pressed charges finally after going through it for four years, and then dumpped him on his day in court where I knew he couldn't hurt me after."
"He hit you with a metal baseball bat. He could've killed you." Rey said sitting on the floor infront of her.
"That's what he was going for. I was living with him at the time, and he was suppose to be working late. I couldn't take the abuse anymore so I planned to leave while he was at work and dissappear. He came home early and caught me packing. Said if he couldn't have me than noone would. He was trying to kill me that night. Someone called the cops and they hauled him off as they took me to the hospital . When I came around 4 days later my friend Karie told me what happened and that he only got 3 months in jail and 4 years probabtion. I decided to apply for a traveling job as an assistant that way he couldn't catch up with me. Or at least I though anyways. I thought I'd be safe finally, but I was wrong."
Dave wrapped her in his arms " I'll kill him if he comes anywhere near you. I wish we all knew you then so we could've helpped you out of the situation. No woman deserves to be beat like she's nothing."
Jayden sniffed a little and nodded. " I'm so scared right now. I didn't want you all to get involved so I tried to keep it all a secret, but then I told Lita, and then the thought of having to come back here didn't help. I feel like I have noone, like I'm gonna be alone for the rest of my life."
Dave put a finger under her chin and tilted her face towards him " Your never gonna be alone again if I can help it." He then leaned down and gave her the sweetest kiss she had ever recieved. As they pulled apart John sat down beside her and pulled her towards him.
"Your apart of our family now yo. He wants you he'll have to go through the whole WWE. Trust be your boy over there is like the great wall. Great wall Batista, the rest of us are the war before death. He want's some then he needs to come get some."
Jayden laughed " Thanks guys."
Randy pounded his fist on his chest "We got your back girl."
After pulling herself together a little Jayden walked back to her room and grabbed her bags then they all headed to the mall.
