A/n: I know in 2009 Ethan is the new bartender at the haunted star but, given the history I'm writing Ethan in somewhere else. The new bartender at the haunted star is named Dax Barrett, younger brother of Coop Barrett./

"Johnny's going to kill you-please stop." Lulu Spencer backed away from Dax, as prey would from a Hunter. As she scrambled to get away from him behind the bar, she tripped on the landing and slid onto her back with a loud thump.

"Johnny Zacchara isn't going to a damn thing...because he's never going to find out." Dax slowly chuckled, circling her amused at her fall.

"Please, just don't. It's better if you just leave me alone. You don't want to piss Johnny off." Lulu's voice trembling as she spoke.

"Maybe that was my intent...you could have just been with me...but no, you won't be untrue to Johnny. Too bad." Dax chuckled, clicking his tongue in disappointment. Lulu finally managed the strength to get up...racing towards the exit of The Haunted Star. Johnny had been interviewing for jobs all day but, no luck so far... he walked to The Haunted Star in hopes of finding his girlfriend, Lulu Spencer.

"JOHNNY!" He heard THAT scream, coming from his girlfriend's mouth...before he'd entered the bar/boat. He heard her cries and screams of anguish, running into the entrance. Nobody fucked with his girl.

"WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXPLAIN TO ME WHAT THE FUCK YOU ARE DOING?" Johnny raised his voice at Dax, seething with anger. Lulu was laying on the floor in tears, screaming "JOHNNY " over and over again...like she was stuck in a trance.

"Maybe it's time to accept you're girl wants an actual man." Dax sneered.

"No, NO-NO." Lulu cried, rolling over on her side in pain.

"You don't fucking touch my girlfriend, you cheap prick!" Johnny swung at Dax, his fist connecting with Dax's jaw and heard an audible snap.

"Think about that the next time you think about touching her...Lulu is one thing I don't fucking play about. That's MY GIRL." Johnny glared before kneeling down to the floor where Lulu was whimpering, her beautiful face soaked with tears.

"Awe baby, it's okay." Johnny sighed frowning, placing his arms around her.

"Johnny?" She gasped.

"Yes, baby?" He sighs lifting her body into his arms, and standing up with her.

"Johnny...you're here." She says confused, when had he gotten here?

"I'm here, baby. I'm taking you home-and you're dad will be hearing about this. From me. I can promise you that." Johnny sighed into her hair, carrying her out of the boat.

"Damn...poor thing can't catch a break. Can she? First all this bullshit with Logan now, Dax. Is there anything I can do?" Maxie frowned, once Johnny had gotten Lulu home she had went into the bathroom.

"I think she just needs me to love her for a little bit. Dax wanted her for himself, it probably reminded her of Logan. I'm gonna go check on her." Johnny gingerly opens the bathroom door, to walk in on Lulu cutting her wrists with a piece of glass, sobbing.

"Shit." Johnny cursed, rushing to her side and lowering Himself to the floor with her.

"You're hurting-I know you are. It's okay, I get it. I just-I don't want to lose you, baby. You've gotta understand...Shadybrooke and Pentonville were bad enough. You being permanently gone? I couldn't handle it." Johnny murmurs into her ear, kissing the side of her head.

"I'm sorry-I'm so sorry..." the piece of glass dropping to the floor, somehow not breaking. Bursting into more tears, she tried hanging her head but...Johnny forced her to look at him.

"It's okay, I just want you to come to me. I know I can get through to you...what you went through today-it shouldn't have happened." Johnny stroked her hair as he spoke.

"It felt like it did with Logan...it was so bad, baby. I didn't know if I was going to get get out...but, you saved my life. It just got me thinking...what do I bring to you're life? Am I worth it? I feel really fucking useless Johnny. I want to be perfect for you but, I'm just-not." She mumbled, slightly relaxing at his touch.

"I know you were scared and I'm sorry, nobody should get to touch you without you're consent. Baby, I love you. I don't want a woman who is perfect because that's not real...I love you for who you are. Please stop comparing yourself to other women, I'm not into anyone but you. You're not useless-you're an amazing woman and I look forward to getting to see you every single morning. I get to wake up and see the most beautiful woman in the world. You." Johnny leaned down to kiss her lips.

"You want me to take a shower with you?" He asked, offering her his hand.

"Please." She nods, accepting his hand as she stood.

"Ow-ow." Lulu gasped at the pain in her back, doubling over.

"What's wrong?" Johnny asked, alarmed.

"My back." Lulu gasped.

"The shower will help...come here." Johnny sighed turning the shower on, helping Lulu out of her clothes.

"You're so good to me." Lulu leaned up for a kiss.
