-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Randy and Jules talked about their performance and how his wrestling career was going on the way to her place. He pulled in the driveway and put the car in park. "So, can I come up and talk for awhile?" Randy asked.

Juliana took a deep breath and looked at the clock, "Ok, but I have to get up early in the morning, so I can't be up too late."

They walked in and Juliana turned the lights on. "I just had the carpets done, would you mind taking off your shoes?" She asked slipping hers off.

"No problem. This is a really nice place." Randy replied.

"Thanks. I have a cat lurking around here somewhere, and he's really friendly, so don't mind him His name is Boots." Juliana said taking his jacket from him and hanging it up. "Come on in, can I get you something to drink?"

"Do you have any soda?" Randy asked looking around her living room.

"Yup, I'll grab you one." She said heading into her kitchen.

"Hey Jules, you have a message." Randy said seeing the light blink on her machine.

"Go ahead and push play, it's probably just Nikki." She said walking towards him with their sodas.

Randy pushed play, and there was a loud, harsh voice screaming "Ok you little bitch, you think you can run, you think you can hide, but you'll never be rid of me, NEVER. I'm coming for you, and I'll be all over you like an owl stalks his pray."

Quickly Juliana leaned across Randy and turned off her machine, "Uh…must have been a wrong number." She said sitting down, "So, how's your family?" She said trying to change the subject.

"Jules, what was that all about?" Randy asked concerned. "That wasn't a wrong number was it."

"It's nothing, he was probably just drinking and couldn't find himself a hooker for the night." She said praying he would just drop it.

"Jules, are you in danger? Who was that?" Randy asked.

"Why don't we just drop it and talk about something else?" Juliana offered.

"Jules, this is serious." Randy started to argue.

"Randy please, I'm not getting you involved. This isn't your fight. I'm the one that has to deal with it, not you." Juliana started to argue back but Randy interrupted.

"Jules, you don't have to deal with this alone. Who is this guy? What's going on?" Randy asked with a stern tone in his voice.

"Randy, this is none of your concern. I'm handling it, you don't have to worry about me." Juliana said standing up. "He's an ex of mine."

"What would make you date a guy like that?" Randy asked looking in her eyes.

"Well, I sure as hell didn't try to date a guy like that. He didn't start off like that, it just got worse and worse. Once I realized it, I knew I had to get out of there or it'd turn out just like my dad did and I wasn't going there again. So finally I took off. Now I've been dealing with this ever since." Juliana confessed. "But I don't need your help. I do not trust anyone with this except myself. I'll be just fine."

"Jules, do you have a restraining order against him?" Randy asked. He was getting a little concerned. He knew all of the hell that Juliana went through, not just with her abusive father, but after he was gone, she went through a big adjustment time where she wasn't very nice to herself. And he was the only one who was able to get through to her and help her. He didn't want her to go back to that place again.

"I went out and got a restraining order against him, and he put me in the hospital for over a week. So no, I never did renew it because I wasn't going through that again." She replied ashamed. She couldn't even look at him.

"Does Nikki know about this?" Randy asked softly. He could see she was starting to withdraw herself.

"No she doesn't know, and she doesn't need to know. She's not my guardian, I don't need to answer to her with everything. So don't go telling her." Juliana exploded.

Randy was a little taken aback, he knew that he hadn't been in her life for awhile, but her emotions were so sporadic, it reminded him of right before her father died when the abuse was reaching it's worse peak. He sat down by her and put his arm around her, "Jules, this isn't your fault. And you have people who care about you and who love you and want to help, but you have to let them help."

Jules turned and looked at him, she had tears streaming down her face. "Randy, you don't want to be here right now. You don't want to be here with me. I know you said you want to be friends and you want to show me you've changed, but after tonight you won't mean it. You'll go back out on the road with all of your friends and all of the divas, and the last thing you're going to want is to be a friend with someone like me. I'm damaged, I know that, and you know that. You know that better than anybody, even Nikki doesn't get it. Why don't you just go now?"

Randy was shocked, at first he didn't quite know what to say. Finally he cleared his throat, "Jules, I want you to listen to me, and I want you to listen good. I'm not going anywhere ever again. I want to be your friend, and god willing maybe one day I'll get to be even more to you again. I want you to listen to me." He said making sure he had eye contact with her. "I love you. I always have, even when I was stupid and made the worse decision of my life. But, I will always love you whether we're speaking or whether I never seen you again. My feelings for you have never changed."

Juliana stood up, "Just stop Randy, I don't want to hear it. You can sit here and say all these things, but you've never showed them. You know what? I can't do this right now, I can't have this talk right now. Just go home, ok? I have things to get ready for and you have a life to get back to. Just go home."

"Jules, I'm not trying to upset you, but I can see that he's still trying to control you. I don't think you're very safe right now. I think that you need some help." Randy tried to explain, but Juliana wasn't hearing it. Although it didn't seem like Juliana talking, it was like another person had taken over.

"Damnit Randy, I'm not saying it again. Just GO HOME!" And Juliana walked into her bedroom and slammed the door. She sunk down to the floor crying. She felt horrible, he was trying to be nice, but she couldn't get over her own self to let him in. She had built up her walls so high that she couldn't bring herself to break them down.

Randy stood there for a minute, he didn't know what to do. He knew she wanted him to go but yet she seemed so fragile, so delicate that he wasn't sure if he should leave. He was worried about that lunatic showing up. Plus, he could hear her sobbing on the other side of the door.

Just as he was about to go and tap on her door to make sure she'd be ok, the phone rang. He heard her pick up the phone. He tried to listen through the door, but he couldn't make out what she was saying.

Just as he was about to knock, he heard her yell, "JUST LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE!" And he heard something crash against the wall. He didn't even knock, he opened the door and there she was on the floor sobbing. He looked across the room and there was her phone on the floor. "Jules, are you ok?" He said sitting down by her.

Juliana didn't hold back, she leaned on him and just let herself cry. She held him so close and he held her back and he just rocked her and let her cry.
