CHAPTER 7 - Meetings

Chris and Christina walked down the hallway into the parking lot after a Smackdown! - Taping. They were holding hands, looking forward to their hotel room. It was a nice show tonight, the crowd is great anyway here in Boston.

"Hon? I got that feeling again!", Christina said as Chris unlocked the door of his rental. He looked around and scanned the complete area. There was Adam, Paul with Steph and their little daughter, but no one who looks suspicious.

"It's nothing Sweets. Trust me.", he answered and kissed her softly. He worried a bit about her. Since a week she got the feeling that someone would watch them. The whole thing with her father still hurt her, she always say she's through with it, but Chris knows it better. She's scared. Scared that the martyr of her childhood come overseas and confront her again.

Chris know, that Christina don't want to make him feel bad or upset him, but he always worries about her. She is his everything, his greatest treasure, how could he not worry? She got a very bad sleep the last days, got nightmares, woke up soaked in sweat and almost crying. Chris took her into his arms then, give her comfort, tell her that it's good to cry, even if it's the most terrible thing for him to see her cry.

"Nobody hurts my girl anymore.", he whispers to her every night she wake up and lay in his arms. And he mean every word of it. God better have mercy for that one, who will try to lend a hand on her. The rage of Jericho will be unleashed…

~One week later~

Smackdown!-Taping, Buffalo, NY

Christina sat on a chair in the hallway of the "Buffalo State"-arena. She checked her camera for the last time before the show begins. Chris was in his locker room to stretch and get ready for his match tonight. He got a "King of the Ring" - rematch against the 500 pound monster Big Show tonight, so he have to be prepared well.

Christina felt better, she's got the last three days off and could find some time for herself and Chris. They were just for themselves, Chris took her for the first time to his residence in Tampa and she loved it from the first moment. The huge house in the middle of nowhere surrounded from trees and forest is perfect.

They lived a life like normal people, cooked together, layed on the pool, took long walks around the lake that was directly behind Chris' villa and lived their love with every beating of their hearts.

It was time for Christina to clear her mind, to forget that stupid incident with her father, she finally was Christina again. That girl that Chris love so much. That girl he fell for. Chris was glad to got his "old" Christina again he thought. The one who laugh so hearty about his silly jokes, the one who was so full of positive energy and motivation. The one who was so proud of him after every match.

She's back and Chris felt a rock falling from his chest. He couldn't see her cry, it filled him with anger and sadness. Anger about her fucking father. Sadness about the desperate look in Christina's green, deep eyes. She doesn't deserve to be treaten like that. She should not cry and not feeling so weak either. But now, after three days of wonderful togetherness, she's finally through with it - forever!

Chris went out of his locker room and already saw his girl sitting beside Adam who looked through the latest ECW-photos Christina did before the Smackdown! - show. Chris smile grew wider as he saw how happy she was. The young woman looked up and smiled as well. "Hey hon.", she said, gave Adam her camera and stood up. Chris went up to her and laid his hands around her waist. Her eyes were so clear and bright again. He pulled her close to him. "Sweets! You're feeling good?", he asked and leaned down to kiss her gently.

After their lips parted, she looked deep into Chris' eyes and nodded. "Now I am." She softly stroked Chris' oily chest. Her fingers were so soft, so gentle, simply her touch could drive Chris insane. If he just could, he would skip tonight's match, drove back to the hotel and spend a night full of love with her.

Adam who still sat on his chair, just looked at the scene in front of him. "This is so sweet!", he giggled with a wide grin. Chris looked down at him and raise an eyebrow. "Do you like to watch people?", he asked him. Adam nodded. "If it's you two: Yes!", he answered, still grinning. Chris rolled his eyes. "C'mon Adam, get a life. Where's Jay?", Chris asked. Jay is Adam's best friend, but they simply call each other brothers, they know each other since their childhood in Toronto. He pointed down the hallway. "He already heads back to the hotel after his match.", he explained.

Adam love to watch those two lovebirds, not that he's a pervert or something, but he admires their relationship. They love each other, give them shelter and are connected by something beautiful that only they know. The way they looked at each other, the way they kiss, Adam knew they are made for each other, that something big brought them together.

"You're ready for tonight?", Christina asked and looked at Chris. He nodded. "I am… because I got you again.", he answered and kissed her forehead. She smiled. "I love you."

"I love you too." They looked at each others eyes for a moment as they heard some uproar at the end of the corridor. Chris softly pulled Christina behind his back, while Adam stood up. WWE securitys yelled, they got problems how it looks.

Adam joined Chris. He want to help him to protect Christina. She became kind of a little sister to him, he like her since Day One, so it's the least thing he could do to help Chris now if anything should happen. The noise came closer, they yelled something like "You're not allowed to be here, get out of here!"

It seems like something more that just a crazy fan who tried to get backstage. Chris didn't want to bring Christina in danger. "Sweets, I want you to go into my locker room and stay there." She nodded. "Alright.", she answered and made her way to his room. She turnes one more and said. "Chris… take care okay?" He smile softly. "Don't worry, you know me." They looked at each other and Chris gave her a lovable smile. "Trust me!"

As Christina closed the door behind her, a guy stood before him and Adam. The guy looked at him. He was not really someone you want to meet at night in a lonely street. He was small, his face don't show any friendy expression. One of the securitys asked: "Hey man, what's your problem?"

The odd guy didn't answer, just still looked at Chris. "Are you… Chris Jericho?", he asked with a harsh voice. Chris looked him in his eyes, got a bad feeling right now. He felt uncomfortable. He was glad that he sent Christina away, this could have a bad ending with the wrong words now. The guy nodded und laughed silently. "Than you're the guy that bangs my daughter since a couple of weeks?"

Chris was shocked. 'No, this could not be!', he thought by himself. He stood eye to eye with Christina's father, that goddamn fucking guy who tortured his girl at her childhood. He couldn't believe it. Every feeling of morals or self-control get lost in this very moment. His eyes turn dark, his hands become fists.

The guy still looked at Chris, not knowing that Chris is exploding inside. "So, where is she?", he asked and looked around.

Adam who still stood beside Chris couldn't find any words, still got his mouth open out of surprise and even more shock. He looked at Chris, than at the guy. At Chris, then at the guy.

Chris completely lost his control. "What did you say? How dare you!? How dare you to come here and ask about your daughter? You Son of a Bitch, I'll kill you.", he yelled, grabbed the guy at his shirt and threw him against the wall. He punched him, threw fists in his stomach, completely lost of control. "Now you get everything back!"

The securitys and Adam tried to pull Chris off that guy. Four people were needed to grab him and threw Chris to the wall on the opposite of the hallway. "Come down, man!", Adam tried to calm Chris down and tapped him on his chest. Chris eyes were full of hate. Hate, Adam saw for the first time in his life. He never saw his canadian friend raging like that. Sure, this was a strange situation, Christina's father is here, maybe Adam would react the same way. But to say something like her father did, was far too much.

"I am banging your daughter? Just a newsflash for you: I love her, I really love her! She's my everything. I try to give her the love you never gave her. And how dare you to come here, after all you've done?", Chris yelled and pointed at Christina's father who also was held by a few securitys. Chris body was shivering, his hands were still clenched to fists, his eyes dark and full of hate.

Other wrestlers came out of their locker room to look who made such an revolt. Most of them knew now about Christina's father, they all were angry about him, don't understand how someone could do that. Also Christina was curious, it was in her nature. She wanted to know what's happening out there. There was a uncomfortable noise, she felt bumps against the wall of Chris' locker room, she have to know what's out there, maybe Chris was involved, he don't have to get hurt.

Slowly she opened the door and looked out tentative. "Hell what is going on here?", she asked quietly. Chris looked up. She don't should see him like that. Held by four guys, pressed at the wall to tame him. "Sweets, I have told you…"

"Dad?"
