"Who did this to you?' he asked, a tint of anger in his voice. "John just cool it." She pleaded. She could see the muscles in his jaw twitching, his eyes growing narrow with anger. "John…" "WHO IS HE AUSTIN?" he shouted. "Why are you protecting him?" "John he's dead! He's been dead!" she shouted back. "This happened a LONG time ago!" "Ill resurrect the SOB and kill him again 10 times over just for hurting you." "John! Don't talk like that! It scares me when you get this angry." She pleaded with him through her tears. "You being angry won't help this any."

The hard look in his eyes softened. "I'm sorry Austin. It just makes me so angry that someone would hurt my baby so badly like that. He'd better be glad he's not alive." He said. She fell against his chest sobbing into his shirt. "Baby I'm sorry just calm down." "John if you want to leave now I understand." "Wman will you quit talking all this foolishness about me leaving? I'm not leaving you no matter what. I love you and I'm here."

"Do you trust me Austin?" he asks her. She looks up at him and wipes the tears away from her eyes. "I love you John and I want to it's just…." "I'll never hurt you Austin you know that." "I know…I just have such a hard time…" I know you do Austin no need to explain." She lay her head on his chest listening to the steady beat of his heart never feeling so safe. "I love you Austin." "I love you John."
