After they finished at the mall Jayden told the rest about what happened and they all reacted like everyone else. They said they'd protect her to the fullest.

Lita and Jayden walked around the arena that night to prepare for The first Raw and Smackdown combo matches.

"So I noticed you and Dave holding hands at the mall earlier today."

Jayden blushed a little " Yeah. After my little break down he kissed me. I felt happy, like I haven't felt in a long time. After that he asked me to give him a chance to show me how a girl should be treated and I said okay."

Lita clapped her hands together " I'm so excited for you."

A crew man came up to them as they nearer the locker room a few of the guys were sharing.

"Miss. Preston you had a gift delivered."

"Thank you Mike."

She took the box from him and as he left both girls walked into the locker room. Lita went to join Adam as he stretched for his match against Shawn. Jayden went to sit with Hunter, Randy, and Dave on the lounger. John and Rey just entered after winning their tag team match against Chris M, and Carlito.

"What's in the box?"Chris M asked as he Chris B. and Carlito entered.

Jayden shrugged and openned it before dropping it to the floor and jumpping up off the lounger.

" Worms! Worms with a black rose."

Dave wrapped his arms around her as John took the box out to the garbage can.

"It'll be okay. I promise."

Jayden nodded. " I better go check and see if Shane needs me for anything. I'll see you all later."

When Jayden left Lita addressed the group "She's gonna pull away. She didn't even reallt stop to see her friends today. She just said hi and then said she had to go. They looked really dissappointed."

"She's going through a lot, and I'm sure they understand that." Chris B said sitting down in a chair.

"We need to tell Shane to tighten seurity around the arena. We need to help her feel safe." John said.

Adam looked at Dave " This is a lot for anyone to handle are you sure you want to get in the middle of this?"

Dave nodded " I may not have known her for years but I know her. I have feelings for her, and I'm not going to say it's love because it's to soon to tell, but I will protect her from this jerkoff by every means necessary."

"It'll take her a while, but we can help her get back on track."Lita said. Everyone agreed, and decided that she was just as much family as someone who'd been in the business 50 years. They'd help her put this guy away for good.


Jayden left Shane's office with the paper's for the writers on next weeks match setup so they could do the storylines. She was walking down the stairs when she heard slight footsteps behind her.

She stopped and listened, and when they kept coming she decided it was probably a wrestler, or a stage hand.

She got to the last flight of stairs as somone pushed her from behind causing her to fall forward and land with a sickening thud at the bottom, papers flying everywhere.She rolled over and tried to get up but her back hurt so bad. She felt a liquid coming down her face and when she put her hand up to her forhead it showed blood on her palm when she looked at it.

She used the wall for support and finally got to a standing position as she was turned roughly and pushed into the wall. The person holding her there with their forearm.

"Thought you'd be protected around here?"

"Let me go, please."

He leaned down close to her face "Your mine, and you always will be. I had you first." He rubbed his hand over the front of her pants as she whimppered a bit pleading to be let go.

"Noone will ever have you the way I did."

"Leave me alone." Jayden said with as much conviction as she could muster, which wasn't much with the headache she was feeling at the moment. "You'll eventually get caught, and then you'll rot in hell where you belong."

He slapped her in the faceand started to unbutton her pants a little, but the sound of footsteps jerked his attention to the stairs. Jayden took this oppurtunity to knee him in the groin and when he fell to the floor in shock and pain she made her way to the steps.

"Help Me!"

Her attacker pulled her back and backhanded her so hard she fell her head the steps just as the footsteps that went from walking to running reached them.

"Hey!" Someone yelled as a guy ran down the deserted hallway to the exit door.

"Jayden?"

Jayden looked up to see Shawn looking down at her and pulling a hankerchief from his jacket pocket while he craddled her in his lap.

"Chavo go get help quick!"

"Si I'll be back."

Chavo ran up the stairs two at a time.

"We're getting help little sister just hang on."

Jayden closed her eyes a little and heard the faint sounds of Shawn telling her to wake up.

The paramedics took Jayden out on a stretcher as the wrestlers assembled outside and watched them load her into the ambulance to be taken to the hospital. Dave rode with her while the others stayed behind to answer questions.The police had been givin detailed stories from earlier today, and a fairly good descrption of the guy who attacked Jayden tonight from Chavo, and Shawn. The police went to question her friends letting everyone know they'd be in touch as soon as they had the suspect in custody.

A bunch of the guys were to say the least pissed and worried after the police left. Each one stating freely what would happen when they found this guy on the street somewhere as they piled into cars and headed for the hospital.
