April was pacing back and forth on her step brother's private tour bus, the place she had been living with the exception of the occasional hotel room. She walked back and forth in her small living space, pulling at the long sleeves on her shirt. She heard footsteps towards the door of the bus and turned around expecting to see her step brother coming back, but instead she saw the same man she ran into the night before; Corey Graves.
"Hey." He started.
"What are you doing in here?" April asked surprised.
"I haven't seen you since last night so I wanted to check on you."
"Aren't you supposed to be commentating?"
"Not on Sunday's. Unless it's a pay per view. So how are you?"
"I'm fine. Now you need to get out of here." April told him. She knew her step brother would be back soon.
"Are you sure? Because you weren't when I last saw you." Corey gently pushed.
"Yes, I'm sure. Now you really need to leave. Please." April pleaded.
"April, please talk to me." He said as he took a step closer towards her. "You were looking for me last night."
"I ran into you last night There's a difference." She corrected him before hugging her arms and turning around to pace again.
"If that's what you want to tell yourself, fine. Either way, you seemed to feel comfortable when you were with me." Corey stated, but he got no reply. "Look, I just want to help you."
"I tried last night and you just threw me to the wolves." April said, still facing away from him.
Corey cocked an eyebrow. "What is that supposed to mean?"
"Yeah, what does that mean?" Another voice asked from behind Corey.
April whipped around to see her step brother now standing on the bus as well. She hadn't heard him come onto the bus like she heard Corey. She wasn't even sure Corey heard him. And judging by the fact that he was still in his wrestling gear, he came back in a hurry.
"Randy!" She exclaimed at his questioning look. "I was just telling him that he had to leave."
"What are you doing in here anyway?" Randy questioned Corey.
"I just wanted to see how April was." Corey answered.
"And I told him I didn't want to talk about last night and he needed to leave." April added.
"She's fine. I'm taking care of her. Now I think it;s time for you to go back to work."
Randy turned and got off of the bus, not giving Corey any time to argue. Corey didn't want to start any kind of problems, so he followed Randy off of the bus. He planned on going right back inside the arena, but Randy wanted to have another word with him.
"Stay away from my sister Graves." Randy said in a serious tone.
"I was just seeing if she was okay. She hasn't been off your bus all day." Corey defended.
"And you shouldn't have been on it. She has enough going on right now without you sniffing around. So I suggest you back off, and go back inside before your girlfriend knows you were out here."
Randy again turned back around before Corey could respond, and went back onto his bus closing the door behind him. April was not sitting on the small couch by the window. She looked up at Randy as he walked over to her.
"Randy, I tried to tell him to leave." She spoke quickly as he sat down next to her. "I told him he shouldn't be in here, but he didn't listen."
Randy put his arm around her and held her tightly. "I know. I took care of it."
April buries her head into Randy's bare chest. She kept trying to breathe, but she felt like no matter what she did she couldn't catch her breath. Randy held her tighter to him as she tried to hold back tears.
"I'm sorry."
"Calm down." Randy tried to say in a calming voice placing his hand on her head. "Just remember, I can protect you from anyone out there. But no one can protect you from me."
