Spencer woke up the next morning feeling more at ease than she had in a while. She felt a peace with herself. She heard JOhn and his brothers outside talking below the window to her room, and she couldn't help but listen.

John was throwing the football with his brothers before breakfast. "So what do you all think of Spencer?"

Dan looked at John "She's pretty cool. She's not stuck up." He threw the foot ball to Sean.

Sean caught the long ball and did a goofy dance. "I like her a lot. She seems like a good hearted person and level headed I think."

Sean threw it back to John who smiled and then threw it to Matt.

"John I think she's awesome. Cute, funny, and she's not an air head like that Amber chick from the roaster you brought home last year. Spencer has a good personality." Matt threw to Boog who had to jump to catch the ball.

Boog laughed as he landed hard. "Thanks Matt, you dork. I know mom absolutely loves her. That's all she talked about this morning, and that we need to bring home girls like her. I feel bad about her mom and dad though."

Sean tackled Boog for the ball then threw it to John. "You never did say why you guys were visiting though."

John shrugged "It's personal. I'm not gonna break what little trust I have with her. Just we both needed a break."

"Boys breakfast!" The boys all came inside, and Spencer hurried up and dress in Jeans and a sweater before she met everyone in the kitchen throwing her hair up in a ponytail.

"Morning Spencer." Rang out.

"Morning everyone." She could easily fall for John and his family was a huge plus. They were so close, and caring she loved that. She felt like she fit in. They ate breakfast, and then with just a look her and John walked outside to sit on the patio.

Spencer sat by John and then as he sighed she leaned closer causing him to smile while he wrapped an arm around her.

Spencer leaned her head on his shoulder. "What are we doing?"

John stared straight. "I was letting you decide. I know what I want to happen but I'm letting you be in control of that because I know right now you got a lot on your plate, and I don't wanna push anything on you your not ready for."

Spencer thought for a moment choosing her words very carefully. "I do have so much on my shoulder's right now, and Daniel isn't just gonna back off."

"I know that but I don't care about him. He's a dick who's gonna get whats coming to him. I can handle him. "

Spencer knew exactly how John felt, and that even though she just wanted it to end he would never let it go until things were settled. "I am so confused. When you hold me or just sit with me like this I feel closer to you than I've ever felt with any guy I've dated, and we aren't even a couple. I feel things I never thought I'd feel with anyone, and I feel so safe."

"You are." John kissed the top of her head.

"I like the way I feel when I'm with you, but I am so scared."

"Of what?"

"What if you just think ok enough is enough. Your ex is screwing everything up, and I'm not gonna deal with it anymore. What if something happens and you get angry?"

John turned Spencer so she was facing him. "If there is one thing you ever have to not worry about it's me ever hitting you. That will never happen.. As for Daniel, I would never let him come between us. I'm not worried about him, he can't touch us. If he even looks at you wrong he's done."

"How can you promise that though?"

"Because I really care for you. I always have since the day you started. That hasn't changed even now."

Spencer knew he was telling the truth and she really believed him whole hearted. For the first time in a very long time her heart felt whole, not in pieces. She leaned forward and gave him a kiss and the shock on his face showed he was completely surprised. John smiled and wrapped his arms around her tight kissing her again with actual participation.

When they pulled apart John rested his head against hers. " Better late than never."

Spencer laughed. "Lets go back inside, I'm cold."

John stood then helped her up when someone clearing their throat interrupted them. Spencer gripped John's shirt tight.

"What are you doing here Bryan?"

"I heard Spencer was here, and I wanted to talk to her."

"Well your going to talk to someone cause your about to meet your maker."

"Cena this is none of your business."

"Spencer is my business now."

John's family came out to see what was going on.

Daniel turned red with anger. "So you come here to whore around with him?"

"What?...I'm not..."

John grabbed Daniel by the collar. "You ever talk like that to her again I'll knock your teeth down your throat."

Carol placed a hand on Spencer's shoulder to let her know she had people behind her.

Daniel pushed John away. " She is my girlfriend Cena you have no right to put your hands on her!"

"She broke up with you after you beat the crap out of her! At least when I hold her I don't leave bruises!"

Spencer looked down ashamed when the words left John's mouth because now his whole family knew. Carol's grip tightened but not in a painful way in a comforting way.

Daniel got right back in John's face. "SHe will never be yours like she was mine."

Spencer had enough she walked down the stairs and stood between the two guys. "Enough! I'm not a pieve of property. Daniel we aren't together. You need help, and I can't go through what I have gone through with you anymore. It's not right . I deserve better."

Daniel grabbed at her shirt pulling her towards him and it caused her sweater to stretch down over her shoulder showing the welts the belt left from her last beating. Spencer pushed him away and landed in John's arms where he handed her to Sean and Dan and went at Daniel tackleing him to the ground giving him punch after punch in the face. Matt, and Boog pulled John off Daniel.

"John man let it go . He ain't worth it." Matt said standing infront of him pushing him towards Spencer, Dan and Sean.

Spencer put a hand on John's arm, and just her touch calmed him down. Daniel stood up wiped the blood from his nose and spit some out of his mouth. John pointed to the driveway.

"You better leave before I bury you in my yard. You come near her and I will make you beg for death."

Daniel just smirked before winking at Spencer and turning around to leave. John wrapped his arms around Spencer carefully and kissed her head.

"Never again will you have to worry about anyones anger being taken out on you."

Carol Pulled Spencer from John's arm "Why didn't you say something sooner?"

"I was ashamed because I should've known better. I didn't want anyone to know. This is all my fault, and I now I brought it to your home. I'm so sorry."

"You didn't bring anything. He came on his own. You didn't do anything." Dan said.

Matt put his arm around her and hugged her tight. "There is no way you deserve someone like that who is going to treat you like dirt. Your way to good for that. Heck your to good for John I think you should date me."

John smacked him upside the head while Spencer laughed. "Funny Bro."

They all headed back inside so John could ice his hand.

Days passed and it was time to head back to work so John, and Spencer packed up, and headed to the next town for the house show. They were headed to the arena.

"Are you worried about what people are going to say? I was with Daniel now I'm with you."

"Nah, It's no one's business but ours." John kissed her hand as he drove then held onto it. Spencer liked the little things he did to let her know he cared.

"What about Daniel?"

"I told you before not to worry about it. We will take it as it comes, and we got people behind us who already sorta know what he did to you. Philip, Zack,Randy, Shamus, and Paul. None of them like him. They will have our backs."

"It's hard not to worry."

"Well let's try. Your safe now."

As he said the words Spencer knew it was true. In time it would be ok, and work out how ever it's suppose to.

They both got their orders from Stephanie, and Hunter then went their separate way. John went to find someone to work out with while Spencer went to drop her stuff in the training room so she could look over some papers Stephanie gave her of stuff she missed so she was up to date on injuries. Also since she was back she would have to start a match schedule, and as much as revenge wasn't in her she really just wanted Daniel to pay so she took advantage, and set him up in a match first that was sure to really get to him.

She was in the middle of paper's when Philip let himself in like usual

"Welcome back girl." He squeezed a little to tight and she squeaked in pain before he left go fast. "I am so sorry."

"I'm ok. I promise. Have you talked to John he's looking for someone to workout with and spar I think?"

"Nah but I heard from Randy and Kelly that you two have finally came to your senses. I'm glad your away from that prick and with someone who at least I like as a good guy."

"Gee I'm glad you approve." Spencer looked up and saw Daniel standing in the doorway.

"I need help stretching my back out so Steph sent me to you."

Philip glared at Him. "Do you want me to stay Spence or maybe go get John?"

"I'm ok, but can you tell John I have his schedule ready I'm working on your next so I should have it for you when you come back."

"I'll be right back."

Spencer nodded, and knew that was a warning to Daniel should he try anything. Daniel hopped up on the table and sat there waiting for Spencer to start stretching his muscles so he wouldn't be so tight.

Spencer only fumbled for a minute before she got to work. John promised her she was safe now, she had to start trusting him.

"So Spencer how was vacation?"

"Fine."

"I still love you, you know."

"No you don't I don't think you ever did. You loved the control you had."

"You can think we're done all you want, and that John is your knight in shining armor, but how long before you come running back to me."

She pressed a little harder than necessary on one of his muscles causing him to jerk a bit. " Oh sorry did that hurt. My mistake."

"He'll never love you. Your to pathetic, and he will see that in time."

Spencer ignored the words, John wasn't like that. John and Philip came back at that moment but daniel didn't notice yet.

"He's gonna use you and then toss you. Your nothing to him just a bed filler til the next girl comes around."

Spencer wasn't going to let him get to her. " So your saying he's like you. Well considering he's been the complete opposite I doubt he'll ever be like you."

"Maybe I should tell him how you like to be held down, and that your a screamer."

Spencer pushed so hard his muscle tightened worse into a cramp. "I never wanted to be with you that way because you made me sick to even think about being with you in an intimate way. You need to leave NOW!"

Daniel tried to get the cramp out as best he could but it wasn't happening. "Dam it Bitch!"

John, and Philip both came through the door before he could say anything else.

"I think you should leave like she said." Philip said as John went over to Spencer.

Daniel left without a word and Spencer left out a breath she didn't know she was holding.

"I'm fine John I swear." She said as John started to look at her like he was looking for any marks. John smiled and Kissed her.

"You know Spence if you report him Hunter will have his head on a platter."

Spencer didn't really notice Philip was with John until he spoke.

"I don't think I can do that yet."

John wasn't going to push her or let anyone else. "You don't have to do anything until your ready. I know you don't want your business spread around and if you tell Hunter, and He gets fired it'll most likely become everyones knowledge as to why so I understand that you aren't ready for that yet."

Philip understood what John was saying. "My lips are sealed."

John nodded a thanks over Spencer's head. "So Phil says you got my match schedule."

Spencer smiled and handed him the paper off her desk. John smiled at his first coming back match and kissed Spencer a dozen times.

"I did this because I know you once you've settled something it's usually done so I'm hoping this can help with that a little bit."

"Oh yea." Now he couldn't wait for tonight's show.

Spencer watched from backstage with Shamus as Daniel was in the ring running his mouth.

"To bad I forgot to give him his match schedule for tonight."

Shamus looked at her and smiled. They both turned their attention back to the ring as Hunter came down the ramp with a mic.

"You know Bryan you say you the best, and that that belt you hold, that many other held before you proves that. Well let's see how good you are. You're in a match tonight right now and it's my terms. You face off against Shamus in a no disscualification match but there is a stipulation Shamus can bring down who he wants in his corner they can't interfer in the inside match but you get on the outside it's open season."

Daniel turned a shade of pale, and green as Shamus's music started and the paused at the top of the ramp as different music start revieling Randy Orton, The Big show, C.M. Punk, Kane, and John Cena. They all came down and circled the ring as Shamus entered. The Ref ttook the belt, and then Hunter spoke.

"Also Bryan this is for the belt." He moved his hand and the bell rang signaling the start.

Shamus started the assault no problem. It went back and forth for a while Shamus playing with his head a little bit.

"So Danny boy let's see ya go up against someone your own size." Shamus said kicking him in the gut then tossing him over the ropes.

Randy, and Kane started in on him as soon as he hit the floor.

"Here we go."

Randy did a D.D.T then Kane picked him up and body slammed him before he picked him up, and sent him back in the ring. Everyone got a chance at taking out some extra aggression on Daniel John being last. When Daniel came face to face with John you could see and feel the tension there.

"So how's it feel to be beaten down to nothing?"

"She asked for it."

John put him in a choke hold. " Well now she's telling you to stay away because this is nothing to what could IT!" JOhn did the F U on the steel steps then sent him back in the ring where Shamus did a power kick to his face, and got the pin. Everyone clapped for Shamus but John just looked at Daniel laying in the ring, and backed his way up the ring.

Spencer was waiting at Gorilla for John to come back and the first thing he did was wrap his arms around her.

"That was great."

Spencer smiled into John's chest as everyone else came back stage and then Daniel was last being helpped by 2 ref's. He just glared at John and Spencer while holding his ribs. The ref's helpped him to the trainer's room where Clint was helping him while John, and Spencer went back to the locker rooms to say congrats to Shamus.
