Spencer was listening to the match on the television behind her while she got things in order for Clint she looked at her watch, she had about 15 minutes until Clint would be back, and as she looked at the monitor she saw John, and Dave were getting the upper hand in the match so maybe they'd all be done at the same time. She didn't hear the door shut slightly behind her or the foot steps until the shadow covered her. She looked up with a smile expecting clint, but the smile turned into a frown quick as she stood fast and put distance between them.
"What are you doing in here?"
Daniel smiled. "I just wanted to say hi."
Spencer saw the door closed and was trying to figure out if she could make it to the door before anything happened if something was going to happen. Daniel saw her look at the door.
"Think you can make it?"
Spencer had some books on the table next to her, and she was weighing her options.
"Well you know what Clint will be here in a couple minutes so if you need someting you should just wait for him. I need to go meet John, and Dave at Gorilla and I still need to talk to Stephanie, so..."
"Yea I talked to Stephanie to a few minutes ago. Interesting conversation, adn then I hear John talking to you about being his Valet, and that you love him. Guess you've moved on."
"Yea well it was going to happen Dan." She started inching towards the door but he blocked her way. Spencer was starting to panick. Her breathing picked up.
"Wow, months apart and I can still make you nervous. You seem scared baby." Daniel smiled a sick smile at her, and she knew this wasn't good. "You should be."
He came at her and she picked up a book from the desk hitting him as hard as she could against the face with it. She knew from the grunt she hurt something and she went to go for the door but he threw her to the floor and kicked her in the face then kicked her in the stomach. Spencer screamed out in pain as the blood ran out of her nose. She tried to crawl away from him to stop his assault but he pulled her up by her hair and threw her into the wall she took her hands and clawed his eyes as best she could. Daniel grabbed at his face pissing him off even more. He grabbed her by the throat and swueezed as hard as he but she wasn't going down without a fight she brought her knee up as hard as she could and he ended up pinning her against the floor as they both fell. She pushed him off and got up using the desk for help she heard him get up to and she just needed to make it to the door. The television showed John going for the f u and the pin. She turned as she heard the 3 tap and she didn't know when it all went wrong she found herself face to face with Daniel holding her stomach as she slid to the floor, and the knife in his hand dripping with her blood. She heard him leave in a panick of what he had just done as she laid there on the floor, her body getting cold and the tears spilling out of her eyes.
Clint was walking back from break and stopped dead at the scene infront of him. He backed up quick and smacked right into Paul, Randy, and Philip.
"Clint man, what's up?"
"She...I...She..." Clint slid down the wall and pointed to the room. Paul walked in and scream.
John, and Dave were pumped walking down the hall, but as they neared the training room Randy was trying to get CLint to focus on something, he was asking him questions Philip was on his cell phone and stopped talking as he saw John. John ran to the room, and before anyone could stop him he ran in and his heart stopped. Spencer was lying in a pool of blood and Paul was trying to hold a towel to her stomach.
"John, we don't know what happened."
John dropped infront of spencer, and picked her up into his lap as he craddled her in his arms. "GOD NO! BABY! BABY WAKE UP!"
Kelly and eve and some others heard the commotion. Philip was running to meet up with Hunter, and Shawn and let them know what was going on.
John just clutched her tight praying this was a nightmare. " BABY! HELP ME! NO! OH GOD WHAT DID HE DO TO YOU!" John cried hugging her close.
No one knew what to do. The paramedics came, and put her on oxygen and tried to contain the bleeding before transporting her. They pulled John off which took a few people to do. John was seeing red. Hunter was trying to see if anyone saw what happended when John grabbed him by his collar and slammed him into the wall. Paul, and Randy tried to pull him off.
"I'm telling you now if she dies it's on you! You knew Daniel was a threat of some kind and you did nothing! I know she told Stephanie what was going on because I talked to her for a sec after my match, and yet you guys did nothing! Now look at her!"
"John man calm down. Come over here. They are taking her out come on. Go with her."
John let go of Hunter, and grabbed the one side of the gurney as he walked out with Spencer. It was such a mess. Paul had Blood all over him. John had blood on his hands, but the real blood was on Daniel's and he had no idea what he had just caused.
Randy called John's parent's and told them what was going on and his family was on the next flight out to be there for him, and Spencer.
The cops were at the hospital, and the arena. They couldn't make an arrest because no one saw anything and Daniel was no where to be found, but John knew this was all him.
John sat with his head in his hands in the waiting room for news on Spencer. All he could think was the worst Kelly was sitting with him, and the others were standing waiting. How could he not have seen this coming? Who could have seen this coming?
John looked up with someone put a cup of coffee infront of his face. He just shook his head. He kept looking up as the doctors ran in and out of Spencer's room. He saw them take in a code cart, and rushed to the window to see her flat line. The nurse shut the blinds and he was left to himself again. Eve put an arm around him, and took him back to his seat.
"She'll be ok. God wouldn't give you guys a chance then take it away."
"I hope your right Eve." He put his head back down again, and his heart crushed with every second ticking by as to whether his love would live or not.
After hourse of waiting a Doctor finally came out to talk to John.
"Are you here for Spencer Kyle?"
John nodded and rushed over to the Doctor, Randy, and Dave beside as well as the others.
"It seems Miss Kyle was stabbed twice in the abdomen and once in the side. I have good news, and bad news. She's stable right now, but there is no gaurentee on if she will make it through the night. The next 48 hours are going to be the most crucial. The good news is her heart seems to be fighting, so hopefully the outcome is good. We have to take her down for surgery in a few minutes to repair a knick in her liver but she's very lucky that that's all we have to repair. No internal damage is a good sign so keep thinking positive."
John gripped hold of Randy, and Dave feeling his legs shake.
"Can I see her?"
"Yes quickly, before we take her down."
Randy and Dave walked in with John knowing he would need the support. When they saw her John would have hit the floor had they not been there for support. Spencer laid with a machine that was breathing for her and 2 I.V. containing blood and other stuff. The heart monitor was beeping slowly, and she looked so pale, and frail. If the heart monitor wouldn't have reminded them of her heart beat she would have looked already gone. John walked over to the bed and kissed her on the head.
"I am so sorry about this baby. Please make it through...for me. I love you so much. I need you."
The orderly's came in for Spencer and the guys walked back out. John sitting in a chair and watching the clock.
Kelly walked over to Randy. "How did she look?"
"Not good. Looking at her is enough to make anyone sick. She looks dead Kel."
Kelly hugged Randy. "How could anyone do this?"
Randy shrugged wishing he knew the answer.
"How is John handleing this?"
"I've always know John to be strong no matter what's thrown at him. In that room. I'd never seen him so defeated before."
Everyone sat down to wait and just be there for John. Stephanie came later.
"John I am so sorry."
"Tell that to Spencer if she comes out of this."
"I will trust me."
"I'm just letting you know now. If anything happens to her. I quit. I love my job Steph but I love her more. I can't do this without her. It wouldn't be right, and I wouldn't be able to wrestle knowing that while I was in the ring she was being killed."
"John your not thinking..."
"No I am. She should have been safe. I can't work somewhere where this can happen, and my fans will either understand or not."
"I hope she's ok."
Stephanie laid a comforting hand on his shoulder then went to sit with Hunter, and Shawn.
"?"
John stood up when the Doctor called for him.
"She's out of surgery. I think it went ok but only time will tell. You can go be with her. They are bringing her up now."
"Thank you Doctor."
Everyone looked at her as they rolled her into ehr room and John followed. No one was leaving until they knew she'd be ok. Stephanie post poned some shows and gave everyone time off for now to be there for both Spencer, and John. The police were still looking for Daniel.
John sat in a chair by her bedside that evening afraid that if he slept he would miss something and he wanted every second her could have with her incase it was the last second.
John's parent's and Brothers arrived late into the night, and were waiting with everyone else out in the waiting room. John was just about to doze off when some machine started beeping very fast, and another went hay wire. Doctor's and nurses ushered John out of the room.
"Wait! What's happening? SOMEONE TELL ME! " John screamed as they pushed him into the waiting area, his dad coming over to calm him down.
"Son breathe, it'll be ok just keep thinking that."
Doctor's rushed around the room trying to get everything under control as John gripped his dad for support his brother Sean came to help get John to a chair.
Carol hugged her son close to her. She knew if this ended badly John would never be the same, and she was worried about both him, and Spencer.
The Doctor came out and looked gravely at John. "I am so sorry . It's not looking good. There's nothing we can do. It's in God's hands."
John broke crying on his mom's shoulder as she comforted him as best she could. How could life be so cruel?
"No... I can't be without her mom."
"SHHH. I know hon, I know."
He had never cried so hard before in his life. His world was shattering in the blink of an eye. He had no way to make it better.
Around 6 am people started to clear out to get some rest saying they'd be back in a few hours. While John sat with his mother not having the energy to cry anymore or acknowledge who was here or not. Around 9 that morning he went back in to sit with Spencer.
He had never been very religious but at that moment he would sell his soul if it meant she would live. That was all he wanted.
John picked up her hand and gripped it tight kissing it before looking up "Please god hasn't she suffered enough. PLease I'm not asking for much just let her live. She's all I have." Tears fell from his eyes as he closed them when a slight squeeze brought him back.
"Spencer?"
Spencer found herself in a dark place wanting the pain to end when a voice brought her back. She knew JOhn was begging her , and she knew she had to fight. This wasn't going to be her end. It couldn't be.
