Ch. 22

Katelyn stayed frozen on the bench as Wade came towards her. She wasn't sure what to say or do. Her eyes met his and saw a creepy distant look that made chills run down her spine. His unshaven unkempt appearance made her worry more since he rarely let himself go in anyway.

"I really don't want to see you. Could you please leave?" she calmly spoke trying to be civil.

"I just went through hell to find you darling. I'm not leaving," he sat down in the chair in front of her Chris had left. "We need to talk."

"There is nothing to talk about. Our relationship is over," she swallowed hard trying to keep her nerves under control.

"It's not over. We are just having a disagreement," he ran a hand through his hair.

"It's not a disagreement. You need to accept its over and move on," she softly spoke as he started shaking his head no repeatedly.

"What in the hell do you want me to do so you'll stop saying its over!" he yelled hitting the chair.

"I'll never stop saying it because it's the truth."

"Katy, please stop. We can get through this,' he reached out trying to run his fingers through her hair. She pushed his hand away.

"Don't touch me," she glared at him.

"I thought you enjoyed my touch darling," he reached out again trying to run his fingertips along her cheek. She jumped up trying to go to the door. He grabbed her around the waist stopping her.

"Let me go!" she exclaimed hoping someone would hear.

"Calm the hell down. You scream one more time I'll make you stop," he tightened his grip till she couldn't squirm anymore. "I'm not letting you go till you give me what I want."

"What do you want?"

"I want you to come with me. We can go back to my room and work things out. After that I have the time off we can take a trip wherever you like. I just want to be with you. I'm not losing you," he said not letting her go resting his head against hers. Katelyn tried to figure out what to do. "Katy, I made a mistake. Please come with me," he pleaded.

"If you let me go, I'll leave with you right now," she said hoping her idea to get away from him would work.

"Thank you darling for not being difficult any longer," he let her go. She tried to keep her calm as she grabbed her purse looking inside thankfully to see what she needed for her idea was there.

"I'll have to call Chris on the way. He'll wonder where I went," she said looking up into his eyes still not liking what she saw in them at all.

"That's fine. Let's get out of here," Wade took her hand tugging her towards the door.

Katelyn slipped her other hand into her purse grabbing her phone. Wade kept a tight hold of her as they made their way down the hall. Katelyn took a deep breathe tossing the phone so it slid across the floor as they rounded a corner.

"Oh no, I hope it didn't break," she said acting upset.

"Darling relax it should be fine," Wade let her go to pick it up. Katelyn used the moment of being loose to turn and run down the hall as fast as she could. "Katy stop!" Wade ran after her as she rounded the corner racing down another hallway. "Stop!" he was starting to gain on her as she went around another corner slamming into Randy.

"What is going on Katelyn?" Randy held onto her feeling her shaking all over with fear in her eyes.

"Wade is …," she stopped speaking when she heard Wade behind her. Randy kept his eyes locked on Wade as he gently moved Katelyn behind him.

"Orton this isn't your concern. I'll just be taking my girl and we will be going on our way," Wade glared at Randy.

"You can go. She doesn't want to go with you," Randy didn't back down as Wade got in his face.

"I'm not going anywhere without her. You have no idea what she wants," Wade snapped.

"If a woman runs away from you it means she doesn't want to be with you," Randy said calmly.

"Katy, come on darling," Wade turned his gaze to her.

"I'm not going with you. Leave me alone," she said staying behind Randy.

"If you want your phone back you'll get your ass over here now!" he raised his voice holding up her phone.

"You can keep it," she turned away hurrying down the hall.

"Katy! Come back here!" he yelled trying to go after her as Randy pushed him back roughly. "You better step aside!"

"I'm not moving," Randy didn't budge.

"What is going on here?" Hunter came down the hall. "Barrett, I thought you had an emergency?"

"His emergency was Chris' sister Katelyn broke up with him. She is here visiting Chris. Barrett decided to come chase her around the arena harassing her," Randy filled Hunter in making Wade's blood boil even more.

"That won't be tolerated here. You wanted time off you got it. You're banned from the shows this week," Hunter stared Wade down. "You even step in any of the arenas. I'm suspending you. Understood?"

"Whatever," Wade turned to walk away then stopped pointing at Randy. "You're going to regret getting in my business."

Randy didn't say a word just stared at him as he stomped away.

"Is Katelyn ok?" Hunter asked breaking the stare down.

"I think so. I'll go check," Randy said glancing down the hall one more time to make sure Wade was gone.

"I'll tell security he isn't allowed in the shows. She'll be safe here."

"Thanks Hunter, I'll talk to you later," Randy hurried down the hall hoping Katelyn went to his locker room. He pushed open his door relieved to see her. His heart ached when she looked up at him with tear filled eyes. "It's going to be ok. He is gone. What happened?" Randy gathered her in his arms. She broke down crying against his chest.

"He found me in Chris's locker room. I tried to get away and he stopped me. He wanted to try to work things out back at the hotel. I came up with idea to pretend to go with him so I could get away. I tossed my old phone and ran," she paused looking up at him.

"So he doesn't have your phone right now?"

"No, I upgraded my phone a few weeks ago. I wiped the old one being using it as an iPod."

"He isn't going to bother you anymore. Hunter banned him from the shows. Either Chris or I will keep an eye on you outside the arenas," he kissed her forehead. "Are you sure he didn't hurt you?"

"He just scared me. I've never seen him like this. He told me if I tried to scream again he would have stopped me. I have a strong feeling he would have hurt me and not even cared. I've never been afraid of him but I am now," she softly said feeling safer with Randy but she was unable to forget the eerie look in Wade's eyes.

"Katy, he won't hurt you. There is nothing to be afraid of. I won't let him near you again. You're safe now just relax," Randy kept a tight hold on her feeling like he couldn't let her go. "Where is Chris?"

"He went to get Kelly."

"Well then you'll be staying with me till he gets back. You can stay with me when he returns if you like. I don't have any meetings just going to do a run through and work out," Randy said looking down into her eyes. "You do trust me enough to know I won't let Barrett or anyone else hurt you right?"

"I do," she held his stare. "I'll text Chris that I need to talk to him alone when he gets back and that I'm going to stay with you till time to go back to hotel."

"Good, I was hoping you would stay with me," he leaned down kissing her deeply.
