Chapter 8
Note this chapter will be told in Madison's POV instead of Jake's.
I was up in the bedroom when I heard something. "Jake?" I say. The lights go out. "Jake," I yell. Suddenly someone has there arms around me. "Hello Madison," That voice I know that voice it him again. "Your not safe Madison. Not here in your home. Not at the Impact Zone not anywhere," He says to me as I start to scream trying to fight my way away from him. But he just throws me down on the bed. I scream and kick but he pins me down. "NO NO NO!" I yell over again as he start to shake me.
"Madison," Jake says as I wake up. I hug him. "Its ok your safe," he says holding me. "When is this going to end," I say in tears. He turns on the light as we both sit up. "You want to talk about it?" He asks. "Just like all the other ones I am alone and than he shows up and I can't get away," I say. Jake takes a deep breath I can tell he wishes he could say some kind of magic words to make me feel better but all he can say is I'll find him, your safe everything else he's been saying since this started. "I'll try making a few more calls in the morning," he says. He's been hounding every gear maker he can think off since getting that tip. "Its not going to do any good do you really think he is stupid enough to use his own name if he did get it made by a gear maker?" I snap. "Well you know…" He starts to yells but he stops himself. "I don't know what else to do," he says. "I'm sorry," I say feeling bad all he has done is try to support me and make me feel better since this started. "I'm going to check on Hope," I say getting up. I get out of the bed and but on my robe before heading to the nursery.
I see Hope fast asleep in the crib peaceful as anyone could be tucked under he blanket with her teddybear. "Hi princess," I say softly and lightly rubbing her head. I sit-down in the rocking chair we use to get her to sleep and watch her. This feeling of peace comes over me I'm so lucky to have this little girl in my life. I'm also amazed at how deeply she can sleep with Jake and I both yelling. Finally I head back for the bedroom I see Jake on the bed looking up at the ceiling. "I'm sorry," I say as I get back into the bed. "It's alright," he says one thing I love about Jake is when he says its alright it's alright he doesn't hold grudges with people he loves. He wraps his arms around me. "I wish I could be like Hope just tell me a story and out like a light," I say.
"Once upon a time…" "Jake," I say thinking he is about to make a stupid joke. "He we have tried everything else to get you to sleep might as well," I say. "Alright," I say. "Once upon a time there an irish idiot who wore the same jacket most of the time. One day he met a beautiful queen and they fell in love. And the irish idiot slays this black knight they lived happily ever after," Jake says. "Good story," I say. "So have you decided if you coming to the taping?" He asks. "I don't know do you want me to?" I ask. "No. Madison I don't want any where near that place until I have this guy beat to a bloody pulp," he says. "But Jake I don't want to be run off from my career," I says.

"Look I can turn back right now," Jake says. "I've made up my mind Jake," I say. "Ok," he says worried as we pull into the Impact Zone. We park and and head into the building. "Oh my god Madison you came?" Christy Hemme says seeing us walking in. Jake shushes her not wanting to draw a crowd. No luck several doors open as people look at me like I'm back from the dead. "Yeah she's here now move along," Jake yells as we head for the private dressing room Dixie gave us this week. We get in and first thing Jake does is lock the door. I sit down and Jake sits next to me. It doesn't take to long before someone knocks on the door. "Who is it?" Jake yells standing up ready to fight. "Its Dixie," our boss says. Jake opens the door and lets her in.
"Madison I just want to say welcome back. If you need anything let management know," Dixie says. "I will," I say. "Dixie any update on finding that guy?" Jake asks. "I'm sorry but now Jake I know you have been looking things…" "I haven't found anything that tip was a dead end," Jake says. "Madison have you remembered anything else?" Dixie asks. "To be honest Dixie I'm not sure what is memory and what is my mind making it up," I say. Dixie leaves Jake and I alone we watch the show together. Austin Aries cut a promo saying he should be getting a title shot not Jake. Jake was for the final segment in a final face off with Roode. During a promo by Samoa Joe the video broke up and than I saw it the stalker on the screen.
"Hello Madison… Have you missed me? I have missed you. Now Jake I'm sure your about to star swearing but don't worry I'm not there tonight. But I will be back soon to claim her," He says. My mouth goes dry as I grab for Jake's hand. The screen goes black. "What the hell was that?" Taz asks as they go back to the table. "How did he break into the broadcast?" Todd asks. "I have no idea folks we have to take a break we hope to get a word with either Jake or Madison after that," Mike Tenay says. I turn to face Jake. "I think I should go to the TV truck and ask some questions but I won't leave if you want me to stay with you," he says. "I'll be fine go," I say. "You sure?" he asks. "Go Jake," I tell him. He leaves and I lock the door.
Watching on the TV I see the cameras catch Jake as he is at the TV camera yelling at the director. "Tell me Kevin how and the hell did that got on the broadcast?" Jake asks. "Jake listen we are looking into it. The video packages are pre loaded into the show to air some how that replaced a video on your match with Roode," Kevin says. "Well who has access?" Jake asks. "Well no one outside of the production team but this wouldn't be the first time the wrong person got in remember Daniels and Kaz during that whole AJ and Dixie thing," Kevin says. "So what anyone can get in there and put things into the show," Jake yells.

Later that night Jake and Bobby Roode were set to have a face to face to end the show. Jake and I walked out together the fans cheering. Bobby Roode's music plays and he comes out holding the TNA world title. Roode gets in the ring and right in Jake's face. Jake controls himself but never takes his eyes off of Roode. Rood back off and both men are given microphones. "Let me make this clear again I had nothing to do with the attack on her. And I had nothing to do that video. My only concern is keeping MY title. And I don't need to play mind games to beat you Reed," Roode says. Jake takes a moment before responding. "You know Bobby your right you don't need to play mind games to beat me but you know what you don't need to a lot of things that you have done to win matches but you have done them anyway," Jake says getting right in Bobby's face.
Suddenly strange music starts to play. We all look over to the ramp where my stalker appears. "Reed he has nothing to do with me only goal is getting Madison," He says. Jake jumps out of the ring and runs at the guy as the lights go out when they come back on he is gone Jake stands where he just stood stunned.
