"Open the door," the masculine voice continued. The banging was still strong. "Hadlynn, open it right now! I'm not joking around!"
"Please, don't hurt me," Hadkynn screamed as she curled into a ball by her couch. She was hysterical on the floor, face covered with heavy tears. The banging stopped, and Hadlynn could hear what sounded like the door opening. She tucked her face into her knees blocking her vision. "I'm begging you not the hurt me."
The door opened, and a mass ran over to Hadlynn, wrapping their arms around her. She begs to scream at the top of her lungs. A hand covered her mouth before she could continue. " Hadlynn, it's me. It's Shawn. I'm right here. I'm not going to hurt you, okay?"
Hadlynn looked up from her knees, opening her eyes. Shawn had concern written all over his face. She removed his had from her mouth. She grabbed him tightly, hiding her face in his chest. He lifted her up, carrying her over to her couch. When Shawn put her down, she started to speak through her hysterics. "Shawn, he.. He was here. He was back. He was going to hurt..."
Shawn shushed her, rocking her gently in her arms. She started to calm down, breathing easier. Shawn started, "Who is he? The man that you think was going to hurt you, who is he?"
Locking eyes with Shawn, Hadlynn felt chills run down her spine. She was taking deep breathes before she finally whispered it out, "Jamie Noble."
Triple H sprinted into the main living space of the apartment. He looked around before running to the master bedroom. Hadlynn was laying on the bed, wrapped in Seth's arms. A sigh of relief pumped through the man. He approached the bed, sitting at the foot. Tears were visible on Hadlynn's face.
"Are you okay," Hunter asked, wiping her tears away with his thumbs. She nodded, forcing a smile onto her face. "Tell me exactly what happened. Step by step."
Hadlynn sat up, Shawn moving his arms to her shoulders. She took a deep breathe and closed her eyes. "Paige said she was going out and buying me some groceries. I was sitting in my couch when I heard a knock on the door. I thought it was Paige, so I opened it. When I did, Jamie was just staring at me with this horrible smile on his face. I slammed the door and went to call Paige. He just kept banging and banging. I tried to hide, but I couldn't. Then Shawn came in, and I guess Jamie left."
Paige now entered the room, paper grocery bags filling her arms. She was breathing heavily. Looking at both Shawn and Hunter, she tried to catch her breath. "I guess I'm a little late to that party?"
Seth arrived, bursting through the door without even a thought of knocking. He was about to speak, but Hadlynn shouted, "I'm moving out of this place. Please don't break my door before I leave!"
"Tell me everything that happened," Seth said as he tried to run over to her. She now sat in a curled up ball on the couch. Before Seth could reach her, Shawn stepped firmly in front of him, holding his arm out to create space. "Relax, Michaels, I'm only here because I'm as concerned as you are."
A smile overtook the older man's face. He laughed for a short while. "If your concerned, then why was it one of your body guards who showed up here?"
"What the hell are you talking about!" Shawn pushed his arm out further, creating more space between Seth and the couch. "Listen, all I got was a message from Hady saying that somebody tried to get into her house and that she was alright. I didn't hear anything else. I don't know the damn story, so could we please fill me in a little bit?"
Hadlynn moved Shawn away, allowing Seth the take a seat by her on the couch. Shawn sat behind Hadlynn, glaring intensely at Seth. Hadkynn started, "I went to open the door, thinking it was Paige with my groceries, and Jamie was just standing their with his ugly ass gober smile. I slammed it in his face, but he just kept banging on it and banging on it. All I'm saying is that he shouldn't be anywhere near here."
"I have no clue why he'd be here. Honestly, I thought he left to go home a few days ago. I assure you, this type of crap will never happen again. I swear on my life." Seth gave her a huge hug as he stood up. "I have to get back home. If you need anything, call me or Dean or Roman and we'll all get here as fast as possible. I'll be seeing you soon."
Seth shut the door, leaving Shawn and Hadlynn alone. "I think he's an asshole," Shawn said, causing a fit of laughter to erupt. Shawn never ever swore in front of people, and, if he did, that meant he either really liked you or had no respect for you. Never anywhere in between.
"Do you think people are treating me different," Hadlynn asked, suddenly but meekly. Shawn gave her a confused smile. "I mean, do you think people are doing all of this because I'm pregnant?"
"No," Shawn answered strongly. "They're doing all of this because you're going through a very rough patch in your life and need help getting through it. I mean, I'm not going to lie here, but there's no way you could get through all of this alone. It's because we care that we do this."
"Shawn Michaels, you should consider being a philosopher part time. Or, since you're one of God's main bros, you should be a preacher. Best of both worlds." Shawn rolled his eyes and laughed. "Honestly, you're the dad I never had."
"I'll make you a deal," Shawn stated. "If you chose somebody else to be the godfather of the baby, I'll be your dad. I mean, I'll seriously adopt you. I know your like 20, but I want to do this for you."
Hadlynn smiled ear to ear, laughing a little bit. She held out her right hand, shaking his hand. It was a done deal. Hadlynn was getting a father. A real father that actually loved her.
