I walked down the long, dark, cold corridor looking for Adam or Wade. Something in the shadows pulled me into a room chucking me on the bed. I screamed in terror when I see my cousins face coming towards me, his eyes were full of anger and hate.

"Why tell them?" He seethed walking towards me and going for my jeans causing me to jump back in fright and do everything I could to get away from. To no avail, he grabbed my arms, squeezing tight, and pinned me to the bed.

"Please" I begged as I felt him on top of me.

I woke with a start and let out a small scream.

"Scarlett…Are you ok?" Wade asked reassuringly.

"Fine" I sniffed curling into a ball and buried myself into Wades' chest where I felt safest.

"Bad dream?" He whispered causing me to nod in confirmation. "Do you think you'll be able to go back to sleep?" He asked, I shook my head to let him know I didn't think I would. "Do you want to sit outside on the balcony?"

"Yeah" I whispered as we got out of bed and walked outside into the cold night air, I shivered slightly and sat on a seat. Wade disappeared back inside only to return a few minutes later with a jumper. "Thank you" I whispered taking the jumper as he handed it to me. I pulled it over my head and it completely covered me looking like a dress.

"You're welcome…Do you want a cup of tea or something?" He asked looking at me sympathetically.

"Yeah…I'll make it" I offered.

"No I will" He argued.

"No…I want to" I smiled weakly "Do you want one?" I asked making my way over to the kettle.

"Yeah thanks…How are you feeling?" He asked examining me as I boiled the kettle.

"Better…I still can't get rid of this feeling though" I sighed yawning "Do you have sugar?"

"What do you mean?" He asked gently obviously trying not to upset me any further. "No"

"I don't know how to explain it" I admitted biting my bottom lip.

"Try" He pressed as I handed him his tea and sat next to him.

"I just feel like I'm dirty and disgusting" I whispered trying not to cry again "I feel like damaged goods and no one will love me or want to be with me if they find out" I added as a tear broke free and ran down my cheek.

"You're none of those things" Wade assured me putting his tea down on the side giving me a hug careful not to make me spill my tea. "And I know and I still want to be with you" He added as I sat on his lap with my head rested into the crook of his neck.

"You don't know how much this means to me…You letting me stay here" I said making the conversation go in a different direction because I wasn't sure how to answer the last thing he had just said. Even though we had kissed the night before I wasn't sure where we stood. I liked him and if I hadn't been through so much that day I would have spoken to him about starting a relationship with him. My confidence had been knocked and I felt as if he was only saying sweet things to make me feel better, not because he meant them.

"No problem" He shrugged as I drunk the last of my tea.

"What's the time?" I asked closing my eyes while resting my forehead against his, I could feel his breath hitting my face gently, his strong arms wrapped around me making me feel secure and as if nothing would get to me, our noses were side by side pressed against each other.

"Four in the morning" He answered as our lips grew closer and closer together. "Are you sure you're ok with this?" He managed to ask as my lips crashed into his, my left hand rested on the side of his neck, the other exploring his chest, Wade had one hand on my hip and the other resting on my cheek. Our tongues were entwined and I let out a small moan in pleasure due to the fact this was our first kiss that I knew meant something. We broke for air and I took his hands in mine playing with his fingers.

"What does this mean for us?" I asked with a shaky voice.

"I'm not sure" He sighed "I can't just be friends, I thought I could but I can't" He explained.

"I don't want to just be friends" I confessed "I thought I did but I don't I want to be more than just your friend" I finally looked up at his face and got lost in his green eyes. "The way you've been since I told you and Adam has made me realise I want more" I explained.

"Then…Do you want to be my girlfriend?" He asked with a smile that I couldn't help but return.

"Yes" I agreed kissing his cheek.

"Let's get back to sleep" He suggested as we both got under the covers again.


"I'm scared Wade" I admitted with a shaky voice and holding onto his hand for dear life.

"Don't worry I'm here and so is Adam" He smiled gesturing to Adam who stood on the other side of me.

"All you have to do is tell Vince the truth and he'll sort it out from there" Adam explained knocking on the door.

"Come in" Came the booming voice of Vince Mcmahon from behind the door. My grip on Wades hand tightened as Adam pushed the door open and all three of us took a step in.

"Hi…We need to talk to you about something" Adam announced.

"Course…Take a seat" He smiled gesturing to the seats in front of the desk he stood behind. "I've actually been meaning to talk to you Scarlett" He informed "I heard about your little outburst yesterday"

"Well…That's what I came to talk to you about" I took a deep breath and let go of Wades' hand. "There's something you should know…" I started "Well one of your employees…Lewis Clemence…He's my cousin" Vince furrowed his eyebrows in confusion obviously confused as to why I was telling him this "When I was twelve…" I carried on with tears filling my eyes "He…He…forced me to…" I stammered as Adam took my hand, out of the corner of my eye I see Wades face harden and his eyes fall to my hand in Adams.

"It's ok" Adam assured me.

"I can't do this" I sniffed, I felt Adam pull me into a hug and Wade shifted in his seat obviously not liking the closeness me and Adam had.

"You need to" Adam whispered kissing my forehead as again Wade looked pissed.

"When I was twelve my cousin…Lewis…he forced me to ermm" I stammered "He forced me to…" I took a deep breath and looked up into Wades eyes for reassurance, his face immediately softened and he took my hand "He forced me to have sex with him" I admitted finally breaking down.

"Ok…Well obviously we can't just let this go" Vince announced "Do you have any evidence?" He asked.

"No" I shook my head "I've never told anyone before" I confessed, Wades' grip on my hand immediately tightened and he looked down at me with sympathetic eyes.

"Well…That sort of changes things…I won't legally be able to fire him without him suing the company for firing him with no good reason…I'll pull him in and have a chat with him see if he admits it or not and then I'll call you and we'll see where we go from there"

"WHAT? NO YOU HAVE TO FIRE HIM!" Wade shouted standing up.

"HE'S A PERVERT!" Adam shouted also standing up. They both looked at Vince with anger in their eyes.

"I'm sorry boys…I promise that no matter what happens Scarlett here will never see Jay again" Vince explained in a calm tone.

"How can you be so calm?" I whispered.

"I have to get all of the facts and both sides of the story before I do anything Scarlett" Vince smiled sympathetically "But I don't doubt you for a second" He added.

"Thank you" I nodded in a shaky voice as we heard the door slam and noticed that Adam had stormed out, Wade was still standing, breathing heavily as he tried to keep his temper in check.

"Come on let's go" Wade sighed as we both walked out. "I can't fucking believe it" He snarled as we walked down the corridor.

"Let's just go and find Adam" I suggested as we walked around a few corners.


"Scarlett" Wade said suddenly breaking the silence.

"Yeah" I answered checking one of the locker rooms.

"You and Adam…" He started seemingly finding the topic of conversation difficult to talk about.

"What about us?" I asked.

"I know you're close friends but I was wondering if there was anything else between you two?"

"No course not" I replied shocked at what he had just said, and slightly angered at it. How could he even suggest that me and Adam were more than friends? For one I was with Wade anyway, and secondly Adam was fast becoming one of my best friends I didn't having kind of feelings for him apart from friendship.

"Ok…Sorry for asking I just wanted to make sure because it would have played on my mind otherwise"

"I'm glad you think you can talk about things like that with me" I smiled leaning up and kissing his cheek. "So…Where do you think we can find Adam?" I sighed.

"Lets just go back to the hotel…He'll turn up once he's calmed down" Wade explained, he had a point so I followed him. "Shit" He blurted out all of a sudden "I've got an autograph signing in an hour…I've got to go" He groaned looking at his watch.

"Never mind" I smiled leaning up and placing a kiss on his cheek.

"Come to my room about six" He smiled giving me one more quick kiss as we went our separate ways.


"Adam?" I called walking into our room.

"In here" He called from the bathroom, I placed my key card on the side and walked into the bathroom to find him sitting on the floor next to the toilet against the bath.

"What are you doing in here?" I asked sitting down infront of him.

"I'm supposed to protect you" He sniffed trying to stop himself from crying.

"You're not my dad…It's not your job to protect me" I explained shifting so I was next to him, I rested my head on his shoulder and sighed.

"Is that what you see me as?" He asked sadness clear in his eyes "A father figure"

"No" I smiled shaking my head "I see you more as a best friend" I confessed kissing his cheek.

"I can't believe how much you've been through and you can still sit there and smile" He said shaking his head.

"I have to…There's no point in crying over something that happened years ago" I pointed out.

"True but you might have to see him every day…How are you going to deal with that?" He asked.

"Just ignore him and if that fails I have you and Wade" I smiled kissing his cheek, Adam smiled brushing his lips gently over my forehead. I closed my eyes and sighed in contentment. He swung my legs around so they were across his and began kissing my jaw line getting closer and closer to my lips. I wanted him to kiss me. I wanted him to kiss me so much, but something stopped me "I'm with Wade" I blurted out, Adam quickly pushed my legs off and walked out of the bathroom. "What's wrong now?" I asked following him.

"Nothing" He said turning around and smiling at me. "Nothing's wrong?" He pulled me into a hug and rubbed my back soothingly "I'm happy for you" He whispered kissing my forehead.

"I'm going to go for a walk" I informed him walking towards the door.

"For the record Scarlett…You're one of my best friends to" He winked, I smiled back at him before walking out.


"Scarlett" Justin called as I walked out of the front entrance.

"Hey What's up?" I smiled.

"Are you going for a walk?"

"Yeah" I nodded.

"Do you mind if I join…It's just I was going for a walk anyway"

"Course not" I smiled. We walked around the city on silence for a while before Justin broke the silence between us.

"So you and Wade are together now then" He stated.

"Yeah" I nodded.

"I'm glad" He grinned "Wade likes you a lot and me and Heath definitely like you better than Alicia…She's a bitch" He laughed.

"Well…I like him a lot to and it's not hard to be a better person than Alicia" I pointed out.

"That's true" He agreed "I was wondering. You don't have to say anything if you don't want to but what is it that got you so upset yesterday?" He asked, I couldn't blame him for being curious I reacted badly and I couldn't blame him for being worried about that.

"Something happened years ago" I admitted "I can't say but trust me…I think I deserved to react that way" I explained

"Ok…I just wanted to make sure you were ok" He smiled wrapping his arm around my shoulders and pulling me into a comforting hug after that we just spoke about random things and realised that we had a lot more in common than we originally thought.


"Hi" I smiled as Wade opened the door to his room.

"Hi…I thought we'd stay in and watch a film" He smiled as we both sat down on the sofa.

"Sounds good to me" I agreed lying down as Wade lay behind me and wrapped his arm over my waist. I began to play with his fingers and my mind strayed from the movie we were watching. Was Adam going to kiss me? Why did I want him to kiss me? I didn't have feelings for him did I? He didn't have feelings for me did he? All these questions and more ran around my head as the film played.

"Do you want something to eat?" Wade asked walking over to the kitchen area.

"No" I refused as I hopped up onto the counter.

"How are you feeling now anyway?" He asked placing a hand either side of me and kissing the end of my nose gently.

"Better…It still plays on my mind a bit but I'll get over it" I explained kissing him.

"Do you want to stay here tonight?" He asked running a hand up my inner thigh.

"No" I said quickly shaking my head.

"Sorry…I didn't mean we had to…" He started but I interrupted him by kissing him.

"I do want to stay but I can't…It's not fair on Adam if I just don't come back without letting him know" I sighed.

"He's not in charge of you Scar" Wade laughed.

"I know…But he's my best friend" I pointed out kissing his shoulder through his shirt.

"I know" He sighed lifting my chin and kissing me. I wrapped my legs around his waist and run my hands under his top. "Is this definitely what you want?" He asked in between kisses, I sighed and jumped down.

"Not yet" I sighed.

"That's fine" He smiled "I'll wait as long as it takes" He explained placing a hand on my bum and squeezing it gently.


"Hey" I heard a voice call down the hallway where mine and Adams room was, I froze in fear as I heard the voice knowing exactly who it belonged to. "Scarlett…Come here" The commanded, I found my feet quickly and began to speed up. I heard them running down the hall and before I could react Lewis had me pinned against the wall.

"Why couldn't you keep your little slag mouth shut?" He spat his face inches from mine.

"Please…go" I begged turning my head.

"I denied it" He smiled sickly "And you're not going to say anything more about it" He added licking his lip.

"And what are you going to do if I do?" I snarled still looking away from him, he didn't reply he just kissed my lips hard and threw me to the floor.

I walked into mine and Adams room with tears in my eyes, I wipe them away and tried to pull myself together hoping that he wouldn't notice. Luckily I found him asleep; I walked over to my suitcase to get my pyjamas out.

"Scarlett?" I heard him say through the darkness.

"Yeah" I replied looking over at him through the dark.

"Are you ok?" He asked concern clear in his voice.

"Yeah…Fine" I sniffed walking into the bathroom, I quickly got changed not wanting to be with just my bra and thong on for too long and then leant against the sink taking deep breaths.

"Scarlett" Adam said through the door "What's wrong?" He asked.

"Nothing I'm fine…Just go back to sleep" I told him.

"Not while you're crying…Just let me in" He pleaded, slowly I unlocked the door and went back to leaning over the sink.

"What happened…Is it Wade?" He asked standing behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist placing his hands gently on my stomach under my top, his touch was soft and gentle for some reason I wanted more but I just put it down to the fact I was scared and upset.

"No" I shook my head stepping away from him and sitting on the edge of the bath.

"Then what?" He asked squatting infront of me so we were level with each other.

"Lewis…He just…pinned me against the wall…and he…threatened me" I stammered wrapping my arms around Adams neck.

"Is that all?" He asked soothingly as he rubbed my back where my top and gone up slightly.

"No…He…He…He kissed me" I cried as Adams grip around me tightened and carried me into the bedroom bridal style.

"I'll kill him" He seethed placing me on his bed.

"No…Adam don't…It's only you that's going to get in trouble" I pointed out.

"Fine" He huffed laying behind me and draping his arm over my waist, I took a hold of his hand and squeezed it gently as fresh tears ran down my cheeks "Please don't cry" He pleaded making me roll onto my back so I could see him "I hate seeing you cry" He sighed gently brushing a strand of hair from my face.

"Do you mind if I sleep in your bed with you tonight?" I asked.

"I don't mind" He shrugged lying back down.
