You were trying to assess John's injuries when you heard what the man at the door said. You quickly put two and two together and realize that this is Jake English. You help John up, once you determine he only has a small cut, and push him behind you, facing Jake. You can feel him trembling behind you. You all stand there in silence before John speaks up.

"Wh-what a-are y-you doing h-here?" John stutters. You are trying to figure a way out of this.

"I told you I would come back for you. I love you, John." Jake says in a heavy british accent. You get angry when he says he loves John.

"YOU DON'T LOVE HIM. JOHN TOLD ME WHAT YOU DID TO HIM, AND YOU DON'T HURT PEOPLE YOU LOVE." You exclaim angrily. Jake looks at you weirdly.

"Who the hell are you?" He asks.

"JOHN'S BOYFRIEND AND BESTFRIEND." You say with a smirk. He looks furious.

"You are not his boyfriend. I am his boyfriend. No one loves him as much as me." He says angrily.

"Y-you are wr-wrong. Karkat l-loves m-me. H-he actually c-cares a-about m-me. H-he doesn't h-hurt m-me." John says. Jake's face fills with fury. Suddenly a new voice speaks up.

"What the fuck are you doing here?!" You all look over to see a very pissed off Dave. You have never been happier to see Strider. Jake looks a little more scared than before. He still looks cocky though.

"I came to get my love." Jake says.

"You bastard. He is not your love, you are sick and twisted. Now get out of here before I accidently call the police and inform them of a broken restraining order." Dave threatens.

"Ooooooh I'm so scared." Jakes taunts.

"I'll also call Jane. We all know John's sister will be beyond pissed and will hunt you down and beat you to a pulp." Dave says. Jake's face pales considerably. He turns to you and John.

"I'll be back, baby." Jakes says and then darts out the door and disappears. Dave moves over to you and John.

"John, are you okay?" Dave says. You share a look and are both really worried. John has been trembling really badly. He starts sobbing.

You and Dave hold John between you as he collapses in the two of you's arms. You both hold him as he sobs and trembles. This has been a shit scary experience. Unfortunately you are sure it's not over, but you will do anything to protect John.
