After making sure that Randy stayed with Abby he ran after Brad. Brad hadn't gotten far probably because he kept looking behind him. Just when he got his hand on the front door John latched onto his shirt collar. Brad had a decision to make. Was he going to fight back or was he going to beg. Looking at the fire blazing out of John Cena's eyes made the decision for him. He willed his body to go limp and he began to cry. John couldn't believe what he was hearing, the woman beating bastard was crying.

"Brad? It is Brad right? Stand up. Tell me what all the tears are about."

Brad is unsure what to do next. John's voice was calm and polite almost nice. It belied any of the animosity showing on his face. Brad was sure it was a trick. He knew John was waiting for a reason to hurt him. It pissed him off. He was his favorite wrestler and because of Abigail his idle wanted to beat him bloody. No way he wasn't going out like that he was going to stand up to John Cena. Make Cena respect him. Brad knew that if he could do that John would let me go before that pretty boy came out. He was unsure of how to earn John's respect so he decided to speak to John on a level he could understand. John Cena was about to be in the fight of his life. Without another thought Brad swung and connected with John Cena's jaw. Unfortunately for Brad, Cena doesn't have a glass jaw. One punch was all John needed. He began beating Brad for all the abuse he had heaped onto Abby. At first Brad fought back but after awhile the power of John's punches wore him down. When the police arrived John was sitting on Brad's chest still beating the bloody man. The police pulled him off of Brad and immediately handcuffed him. When John tried to protest they threatened him with a taser. The police decided to check the rest of the house and they found Randy and Abby in her bedroom. Abby was crying and clinging to Randy. The police surveyed the situation and after believing that Abby was fine they asked her to identify the person who broke into her apartment. The police were sure that they had the right person in handcuffs. When Abby emerged from her room, she was shocked at the state of Brad's face.

"Ma'am when we arrived this man was assaulting this other man. We have called an ambulance but we need to take your statement before we take them away."

"Them? What do you mean? You have to leave John here! He was only helping me! If you people had arrested Brad earlier when I called this wouldn't have happened."

"We will take him to the hospital and then book him for breaking and entering."

They let John out of the handcuffs and Abby immediately ran to him. She hugged him and thanked him profusely. The three of them watched as the paramedics loaded Brad onto a stretcher and wheeled him from her apartment. Another paramedic looked at Abby's bruises and deemed her well enough to not need the hospital. When they were all gone Abby collapsed onto the couch.

"Nice work with the bastard, Cena."

"I do what I can."

"I find myself being indebted to you both again. Thank you so much I don't know what I would've done without you tonight."

"Abs, you'll never have to find out what it's like to be without us, I promise."

"He's right, baby girl. We always got your back!"

There was a knock on Abby's door and John went to open it and found Alana at the door. She looked at the trio and rushed to Abby's side.

"Abby are you alright?"

"Yeah, I'm fine. Randy and John were here and they saved me."

"I'm glad."

Alana sat down next to John and looked at his knuckles. She took his hand in hers and kissed his fingers. John looked at her and smiled. She looked at Randy and Abby and motioned for John to stand up. When the two of them were almost at the door Abby looked up.

"Where are you guys going?"

"I'm taking John back to my house cause you guys need some alone time. We'll see you tomorrow."

"Bye."

After John and Alana left Abby snuggled close to Randy on the couch. He stroked her hair and thought about how much he had missed her. He couldn't help but think that if he hadn't gotten there in time he could have lost Abby forever. He had no doubt that Brad would have killed Abby had him and John not arrived when they did. He knew how much his talk of them as more than friends bothered her so he wasn't going to mention it. He was just going to be happy that he had her in his arms and that she was safe. Her safety was a top priority for him. Abby could feel Randy's heart beat and she was surprised that it was in sync with her own. She didn't know if that meant something or not but to her it was a sign. She shuddered at the thought of what could have happened if Randy and John hadn't shown up when they did. Brad was unlike she had ever seen him. She knew that for a long time she would see his eyes and her his voice when she closed her eyes. He was more angry than she had ever seen him he scared her more than he ever had she couldn't help but replay what had happen even with Randy holding her close.

"Nice try with the police Abigail. You're not smart enough to get rid of me."

"Randy will be here soon. You have a chance to run!"

"You'll be dead long before he gets here. And if you're not then I'll just take care of him while you watch. You're mine Abigail and nobody is going to deny me that."

"You're crazy!"

"Shut up, bitch! I will carve you in to pieces. When I talk you listen or have you forgotten the rules. I hope not, because if you have forgotten I'm going to punish you. You remember punishment don't you Abigail? You remember how you earned every single punishing you got."

Abby was to terrified to moved. Brad had finally snapped. He had a knife to her throat and she knew he wouldn't hesitate to use it. She knew Randy was coming she just had to hold on until he got there. Abby could feel the point of the knife at her throat and she could feel the rage rolling from Brad. She knew her leaving had pushed him completely over the edge. She wasn't sure what he was going to do to her and it paralyzed her with fear.

"Brad, please don't."

"Shut up! I owe you so much punishment. When I woke up and realized you had stolen my money and ran away I was shocked. I couldn't believe you had the nerve. I knew someone had to be helping you. I called everyone we knew. I had to tell them all that you had stolen from me and then left. Do you know how embarrassed I was? No one could believe that timid little Abby had run off with my money. But when I told them you had cheated and that I was the hoodwinked boyfriend they understood. They cursed your wretched name telling me how much they hoped you would pay for what you did. And I have no intention of letting them down. At first my plan was to take you home with me and forgive you, but now that I know you've been slutting around all over the country with Orton I wouldn't dare allow you in my home. When your precious Randy gets here he won't even recognize his whore."

Brad then started to slid the tip of the knife down her arm. Just enough to draw blood but not enough to scar, he did both arms and just when he was about to take the knife to her face he was snatched away from her.

"Abs, did you hear me?"

"I'm sorry no. I was just thinking about what happened before you got here and what would have happened if you hadn't been in time."

"You should stop thinking about that. It's over and I'm here and I'm never letting you go!"

"Randy, I know it's over but I'll still see him in my dreams and I'll hear his voice. But I know I am strong enough to forget. You reminded me of that."

"Abs. I was so scared. I thought I was going to lose you. I couldn't bear the thought of that. I love you! I'm sorry I know you don't like it when I talk that way."

"No, it's OK. I've done a lot of thinking. I was going to surprise you when you came to visit."

"Surprise me. How?"

"By telling you that I understand everything that you have been saying about loving me. Brad use to tell me that he was the only one who could love me and I guess on some level I always believed that it was true. Then you came along. You with your open arms and generosity and love. I didn't know how you could love someone as damaged as I was, and still am. But I'm glad you do. You gave me a second chance at life and love and I don't know how I can ever repay you, but I want to try."

"Abs, you don't have to repay me. We're even because you saved me just as much as I saved you. I was contented to live the rest of my life without love. Then you show up and I fall in love with you so deep that I can't see an end. Abs, I love you."

"Randy, I love you. I know I have been reluctant to say so but it's how I feel. I was so scared that you would decide that you didn't want me anymore and I would be all alone. I'm tired of being scared. I don't want to live like that anymore."

"You never have to again."

Randy turned so that he was looking Abigail in the eyes. Her eyes were shining with tears. He leaned in and kissed her. It was everything he had hoped it would be. Being in her arms was like coming home. He knew that Abby probably wasn't ready for a physical relationship and he didn't mind but he loved touching her. She moaned against him. He loved the sound of her pleasure. It made him want to always make her make those sounds. He pulled her into his lap. She looked up at him and her eyes were clouded with lust.

"Abs, are you sure?"

"Randy, I want you more than I've ever wanted anything. Please make love to me."

Randy didn't need to hear anything else. He stood up from the couch and carried Abby bridal style to her bedroom. He laid her on the bed and removed his shirt. Abby ran her hands along his finely chiseled body and sighed. She was finally getting exactly what she wanted and it felt better than she ever thought it would. She had wanted Randy to hold her and kiss her and touch her and now that he was she could barely think coherently. She couldn't believe that all her fantasies were coming true. Her fantasy man was in her arms and she was never letting him go.
