Chapter 24

Bianca knew Jon would never hurt her, but he had to manhandle her or it wouldn't look real. "Bryan, please don't egg him on! H-He'll hit me again!" She cried out, trembling when his hand wrapped around her throat and closed her eyes, forcing tears to slip down her cheeks. "P-Please don't h-hurt me…" Bianca made sure to hide her left hand so Bryan didn't notice her wedding ring from Myron was missing.

Joe arrived at that moment, having sent Colby and Kavari ahead to get the car, bursting through the door storming over, wrapping his meaty hand around Bianca's upper arm. "Seth is already outside. Come on man, we gotta go." He yanked Bianca against him, grey eyes narrowed at Bryan. "It's 2 against 1, boy. You really think you can take both of us?"

Bryan hesitated, having been ready to strike, but the sound of his sister's crying tore at his heartstrings. Even though he was behind her abduction, he didn't think Jonathan Good was capable of abusing her. Obviously he was wrong – dead wrong – and now he had to get Bianca away from this psycho before she ended up really hurt.

Bianca winced, staring back at Bryan as more tears fell from her eyes. "6 days, Bryan. Just wait. I don't want you to get hurt." She whimpered when Joe pushed Bianca toward the side door with Jon following in hot pursuit. "Remember your promise to me, Bry! Don't let me down!"

"I'll kill you for laying a finger on my sister, Good. Mark my fucking words." Bryan growled, making sure Jon heard him loud and clear. "I won't let you down, Bia. I promise."

"Come on, where the fuck are they?" Colby growled, sitting the back with Kavari, the windows tinted. He knew Glen wouldn't come after them because he was in on the plan with Linda McMahon. He sighed with relief when both of them spotted Bianca being shoved out the door by Joe, opening the passenger door for her. He looked like he shoved her inside, but honestly Joe had been as gentle with her as he could. "Bout fucking time!" He growled, ignoring Joe's glare as Jon jogged out of the building and slid behind the wheel, all of the driving away moments later.

"Fuck, that was close."

"Too close…"

"I can't believe your fucking brother. I want to choke the life out of him!" Jon growled, fuming over the confrontation with Bryan. "How can he stand there and pretend to give a fuck about you when he's the one who came up with this stupid fucking idea in the first place? FUCKING ASSHOLE!"

A chair went flying across the dressing room and Joe instinctively pulled Bianca behind him while Colby snatched Kavari out of the way. He'd been pacing, ranting and raving since they'd gotten to the arena, his anger at an all-time high. There was no stopping the freight train. Jon would make Bryan Danielson BLEED tonight. 6 days – That's all he had to wait was 6 DAYS and that asshole would wish he never mentioned Bianca's name to the boss. Joe felt Bianca's hand tighten around his wrist, knowing she was scared because of Jon's volatile temper. When she started taking a step toward Jon, his arm shot out and wrapped around her waist, pulling her back against the wall shaking his head negatively.

"Don't. When his temper flares this bad, it's worse than mine. You have to let him get it all out and stay out of the line of fire. He'd never forgive himself if something happened and he was responsible for hurting you." It was crystal clear how Jon felt about Bianca and Joe noticed the growing feelings developing from his comrade, especially after witnessing that heated kiss between them at the hotel.

"He's the one who did this to her! Why the fuck would he be worried now?" Jon kept ranting, tossing another chair. "SON OF A BITCH!"

Joe had enough. "Jon, bro you need to calm down. You're scaring them." He gestured to both women, grey eyes narrowing and watched as Jon heaved a sigh, walking out of the dressing room to have a much needed cigarette outside.

Kavari had never seen someone so ticked off, her eyes wide from watching chairs fly across the dressing room. "Should…someone go after him?" She asked hesitantly, looking up at Colby.

It killed Bianca that she couldn't go after him because they were still in the abduction angle, tears stinging her eyes. She didn't blame Jon for being angry, but definitely didn't expect him to explode the way he did. Glancing over at Kavari, she watched as Colby immediately wrapped his arms around her, trying to calm her down. They were so cute together; Bianca could only hope she found a love like that again with Jon.

"Thanks big guy. I'm gonna go into the bathroom for a few to get ready. When Tiffany gets here, just send her inside." She kissed his wrist and gave his hand a gentle squeeze, disappearing through the bathroom.

"Sunday can't get here fast enough." Colby muttered to Joe, still holding onto a shaking Kavari and kissed the top of her head. "It's okay baby, I won't let anything happen to you. Jon just got a little pissed because he genuinely cares about Bianca and for her brother to pretend to care sickens him. He grew up in a bad way, so family is everything to him and the fact her brother is acting like the victim in all of this pisses him off."

"I'm gonna go check on him. Can you handle these two alone?" Joe smirked when Kavari shot him a playful glare and gave her one in return, both of them having an understanding. "Get dressed, we're up first tonight." He walked out the door, knowing Jon would be outside smoking.

Colby kissed Kavari softly, cupping her face gently in his hands. "Are you okay?"

"Yeah, just worried about Jon and hoping Joe can calm him down."

Jon stalked back and forth while sucking down his 4th cigarette, trying to calm himself down enough to focus on tonight's show. He would stroke out if he didn't get his temper under control, that's how angry he was. Jon was a professional and refused to let his anger show in the ring, refusing to hurt anyone intentionally while wrestling, with the exception of Bryan Danielson. His head snapped up, watching his big Samoan friend heading toward him in the arena parking garage.

"I'm only coming to talk and make sure you're alright." Joe held his hands up defensively. "You scared the hell out of the girls. You might wanna go in and talk with Bianca, let her know you're alright. Seriously bro, Kavari's been the one saying she wasn't scared of us, but I think you scared the shit out of her, especially with how tight she was holding onto Colby during your fit." Joe gripped his shoulder, staring into the man's blazing blues. "Have another smoke, have a few more and calm down, then come back inside to get ready. We're up first tonight." Turning, he headed back inside and left Jon out there to breathe in more fresh air.

Bianca just stared back in the mirror, letting a few tears roll down her cheeks and immediately wiped them away when Kavari joined her. She just needed a small emotional release because Jon had scared the daylights out of her with his outburst. Already dressed for the evening in her 'Shield' attire, Tiffany would be arriving soon to do her 'abused' makeup, so she couldn't be crying then. Better to get it out so that way her makeup wasn't smearing out in the ring later. She felt Kavari clamp a hand on her shoulder and looked up at him, both of them suddenly embracing tightly.

"I just want this to be over." She mumbled, feeling powerless at the moment with everything being chucked at them.

"I know, I hate the fact fans think Colby is abusive. I don't want him to have that image because he won't be able to get rid of it. It's one of those things that always follows you wherever you go. We only have 6 more days until the pay-per-view, we can do this. It'll be a piece of cake." Kavari reasoned in a soft voice, squeezing her friend's shoulder. "We'll be okay, Bianca."

"I hope so." Bianca whispered, both of them finishing getting ready.

Colby pulled his black gloves on just as Joe walked in, raising a brow. "Still smoking?"

Joe nodded, already dressed in his attire for the night. "Yeah, he was really pissed off. I don't think I've ever seen him that angry. Danielson will be lucky to survive after Monday." He cracked his knuckles, grey eyes shooting to the door when a knock sounded on it. "Who is it?"

"Tiffany."

Joe opened the door for her and let the makeup artist inside, immediately closing it behind her. "They're in the bathroom."

"Thanks."

Jon finally came back and got changed, stepping into the hallway. He slid down the wall into a squatting position and closed his eyes, reigning in all the emotions flooding through his big body. He could only smoke so much before he made himself sick, so now it was up to breathing to keep himself calm. By the time Tiffany finished with Bianca's makeup, once again she looked like she got the hell beaten out of her. Tiffany had given her a black eye, split lip and laceration on her opposite cheek. Bianca hated doing this, but she had to teach her brother a lesson – one he would soon not forget. Her mind kept going back to Jon, hoping he was alright. She was worried sick about him, feeling her stomach twisting violently and took a few deep breaths to calm down.

"Thank you, Tiffany." She whispered, feeling the woman pat her shoulder and didn't move toward the bathroom door as she looked back into the mirror.

Everyone looked up when Jon rejoined them a few minutes later and Colby instinctively tightened his arm around Kavari in case she was still scared. "She's in the bathroom still." Colby supplied, watching his friend head toward the bathroom door and knocked before entering, the door closing behind him.

"Tell me you're okay." Were the first words out of Jon's mouth, his hands sliding up Bianca's arms and looked for any sign he might've given her during his tantrum earlier. Not to mention how he had to treat her at the hotel during their run-in with Bryan. The makeup made him nauseous, but Jon swallowed it down and carefully rained kisses all over her face, not wanting to smudge the makeup job from Tiffany. "I'm sorry I lost my temper. I'm so sorry, Bianca. I didn't mean to let your brother get to me. He has no right looking worried about you when this whole damn thing was his idea in the first place." He kissed her lips softly, tenderly. "I'm sorry if I scared you, I didn't mean to."

"I was worried about you. I wanted to run after you, but because of this stupid abduction angle, I wasn't able to." Blinking tears away, not wanting to ruin Tiffany's outstanding makeup job, Bianca carefully pressed herself against Jon, squeezing him tightly. "I can't wait for this to be over. Then I can finally just be in the Shield and…with you." Bianca pulled back to look up into his electric blue eyes, reaching a hand to caress his face tenderly. "I want to be with you, Jon. I feel…alive and better when I'm with you. Empty when you're gone."

Why did he have to look so incredible in his Shield outfit? The tactic vest and cargo pants looked ready to bust off of him and hugged his lower regions to perfection. Bianca wasn't sure how much longer she could hold back how she felt for Jon, both emotionally and physically, her body aching for him. Cupping his face tenderly in her hands, Bianca kissed him harder this time moaning softly in his mouth as their tongues touched again. Her mouth angled slightly, giving Jon full reign and access of her mouth and buried her fingers in his slick wet hair, her head whirling. Jon smiled against her lips and once again found his hand cupping the back of her head, holding her mouth to his, never wanting the kiss to end. He could get used to this if he wasn't careful. Hearing Joe growling at Colby through the door because he was being hyper, Jon chuckled against Bianca's mouth and broke the kiss, staring deep into her beautiful sky blues.

"Sorry, I can hear them out there getting on each other's nerves."

Shaking her head, Bianca reached up to wrap her arms around Jon's neck, feeling him lift her up, planting her on the sink so she didn't have to strain. "There's something I want to talk to you about when we get back to the hotel tonight." She said in his ear, closing her eyes and made sure not to press her cheek against his because of her makeup. "It's nothing bad, just a thought I had." Pulling back, Bianca softly kissed Jon and hopped down from the sink, taking his hand as their fingers laced together, walking out of the bathroom.

"Come on you guys, we need to get in position for our entrance." Jon announced, reluctantly releasing Bianca's hand and wrapped it around her upper arm, sighing. "It's not too tight, is it? I still have to give the illusion of being an asshole."

"I know, I trust you." Bianca murmured to him before they once again put on a performance for the fans.

Joe and Colby faced Bryan and Glen with Jon watching over the two women. They were actually handcuffed to the ring posts, something both Bianca and Kavari knew would happen. They understood though, surprisingly. What better way to make it look real then tossing some surprises in the mix? The whole time out by the ring, Bianca looked at Bryan pleadingly while Jon practically ground against her from behind, his mouth flicking her ear, his hand wrapped around her throat. Dear god, she would need a new change of panties if he kept this up! Somehow, someway Bianca maintained her stoic expression and the Shield ended up winning the match because of Jon's distractions. They left with both girls over Jon and Colby's shoulders while Glen had to hold Bryan back, reminding him they only had 6 days until this all ended.

Later that night at the hotel, Bianca laid in Jon's arms and asked him if he wanted to come home with her on their days off coming up the following Wednesday so they could spend some quality time together. Kavari did invite them to Tennessee, but Bianca declined because she had something very important to do and she wanted Jon there with her when it happened. Jon agreed, refusing to go anywhere without her and they ended up having a heavy make out session. Though, his hands still stayed away from her intimate parts – the parts that burned with need to be touched.
