Chapter 8
The contestants made their way to the house where a bouquet of Willows favourite flowers stood outside the front door. When she saw them, her whole body froze with fear; she knew exactly who they were from, "I don't want them. Throw them away" she whispered as Dean and Brooke took her into the house while Khloe, Barry and Mario disposed of the flowers. They entered the house clutching a piece of paper which had been in with the flowers. "Willow, honey you might wanna read this" Khloe said as Willow shook her head as she said "they're from Eric. I don't want anything to do with him after what he put me through last year" before going to her bedroom. Brooke took the note and read it:
Willow,
I'm sorry for everything. Don't trust him, he's only going to hurt you.
All my love
Eric x
"Willow doesn't need to see this right now" Brooke said quietly, making a mental note to tell Matt about this latest development the next time that she saw him, as she headed to the bedroom to check on Willow.
The man saw the look of fear on his targets face and knew that his plan was working. She was becoming more and more vulnerable by the second and he knew it would be time to make his move soon. Her boyfriend was injured and he thought that he wouldn't be around for a while, and using her father's past obsession with her was just perfect. It has to be this weekend he thought to himself. This weekend I will get her back.
The results show the next night had a huge shock in store for everyone. Willow, Dean, Khloe, Spencer, Barry and Mario were through to the next show and it was between Heidi and Brooke. Everyone thought that Brooke was going to leave because of the fan base that Heidi had from appearing on The Hills. Unfortunately for Heidi, her luck ran out that night and she was voted off, much to the relief of the other contestants, who preferred Brooke over her and Spencer. "As we say goodbye to another celebrity, make sure to tune in next weekend when we have a special rock night planned" Jeremy said as the show's theme music started.
"I was so worried that you were gonna go Brooke" Willow said, relieved that her friend had been kept in for another week, when someone tapped her shoulder. She spun around to see Jeff, Trish, Amy, Chris Jericho and the one person she really wanted to see, Matt. She flung her arms around him, forgetting that his arm was broken. "You were amazing last night baby" Matt said, "I made one of the nurses put it on in exchange for an autograph for her son" "I was so worried last night when I didn't see you" Willow replied, pulling him in for a passionate kiss. As Willow turned to talk to the others, Brooke pulled Matt to one side and told him all about the flowers and the note. "So Eric doesn't trust him either?" he said, confused by Eric's actions "he's gone all out to make her life a living hell and now he's protecting her? It doesn't make any sense" "it does if the person in question is trying to break you guys up and Eric just wants to see his daughter happy. I'll still keep my eye on him though, I don't trust him either" Brooke replied, leaving Matt with a lot to think about.
A few hours later, back at the house Polly called everyone into the living area for a meeting. "As you all know Heidi was voted off the programme earlier tonight. Unfortunately, due to this elimination Spencer has made up his mind and he has quit the programme as well" she announced to cheers and applause from the others. "Finally we are free from those two, stuck up idiots" Barry said happily "now we are looking for someone to fill the slot left by Spencer and hopefully we will have someone by tomorrow morning" Polly said "so for now, get some rest. It's going to be a big day tomorrow" and she wasn't wrong.
Willow awoke early the next morning. She was the first one up and decided to make the most of her time alone. She decided to catch up on all the wrestling she had missed since entering the house. She was alone for less than two hours when Dean got up and joined her on the couch. "You ok after everything that happened last night Wills?" he asked as Willow nodded her head. "I guess I was just shocked that he would even contact me after everything he's put me through" "I know Wills" Dean replied as he put his arm around her. Willow was starting to feel uncomfortable around him and intuition was telling her not to trust him, and it was right. Not long after Dean had put his arm around her, he pulled her closer to him; Willow could feel the warmth of his breath on her cheek, which made her shudder and she knew what was going to happen next. She had barely thought about it when, all of a sudden, Dean moved himself on top of her and kissed her. Unfortunately, he kissed her just as Polly brought in Spencer's replacement, along with the person who was helping him bring his bags in. Willow felt her heart break when she heard a familiar voice say "Willow, what the hell?" causing her to push Dean off her and bolt up, which ended up being the shock of her life.
Stood in front of her was Jeff, who was to be Spencer's replacement and Matt, who had seen everything.
