It had been a few days since Lexi got that disturbing call. She started having nightmares of someone breaking into her apartment and trying to kill her.
She has been a nervous wreck. Everyone in the WWE has noticed.
Aside from Mercedes, Pamela and John she hasn't said anything to anyone. They'd ask Lexi what's wrong, and she would come up with a lie everytime. She isn't sure if she should tell them what was going on.
She still has no idea who this person is. And how he even knows her.
She always double check and triple check the locks on her doors and windows.
She had just gotten done taking a shower. As she was drying herself there was a knock on her door.
She wrapped a towel around her body and hurried to her front door.
She looked through the peephole and smiled widely as she saw it was John.
Then she started blushing, realizing her state of dress, or lack of.
''Uh, could you give me a minute John? I just got done taking a shower." Lexi shouted. "Uh sure. Take your time. I'll just wait out here." John replied.
She quickly put on a tee shirt and a skirt with sneakers.
She did her make up. Not too much though. She didn't want to make herself look too fancy.
Her hair was still a little wet so she brushed it a bit then made it into a ponytail.
She took a couple of deep breaths and opened the door.
John was about to say hello but instead gaped at her.
'Damn. She looks so cute in that skirt.' he thought as he was checking out her legs before snapping back to reality.
Lexi noticed the way he was looking at her legs, which made her blush a little, but didn't say anything.
"May I come in now?" he asked. She gave him a small smile. "Sure. Make yourself comfortable." she replied.
They sat down on her couch.
"So what did Nicole say when you asked her if you could visit me?" she asked.
"She didn't mind too much. I told her I'd only be gone for a couple of days. And she said it'd be good to spend time with her sister." John answered. "That's good."
"So you told me this creep somehow knows who you are and where you live." John said.
"Yes. Could you believe how crazy that is?" "Yeah. I can't imagine."
"You have any idea who might be stalking you? An ex boyfriend maybe?"
"No. Not that I can think of." she said.
"He said he was going to make me pay for what I did. I don't even know who he is." "I just wish he would just leave me alone."
John scooted closer and wrapped and arm around her shoulders she leaned close to him and cried a little.
He held her for a while. Somehow John always seems to make her feel safe no matter what.
He then reached down with one hand and cupped her chin.
"Hey. I'll always be here for you. And I'll make sure no one lays a hand on you." he replied softly, which brought a smile on her face.
"Thank you for being by my side all this time."
He smiled back. "Anything for you."
"You want to watch a movie?" Lexi asked. "Sure." he said.
She sat down on his lap and snuggled close. They would looked at each other on occasion, and smile.
After the movie ended John stretched for a bit. "That movie was great." he replied. "Yeah. It really was."
They stared at each other for a bit before she got off of his lap.
'Well now this feels awkward.' they both thought at the same time.
"How about I go get us some Chinese food?" he said real quick.
"Sure. That sound good." Lexi replied.
"I'll be back real quick." he said getting up and heading out the door.
She felt herself blushing, her heart pounding.
She couldn't help but feel a little curious about the way John was looking at her.
'Could he...' she immediately shook her head.
No. He couldn't be in love with her too. He loves Nicole. And she needs to accept it.
About 10 minutes went by before there was a knock on the door. She smiled figuring it was John.
She opened the door. "Finally. I'm-" she stopped. And had a look of dread on her face as she saw a guy with a mask on.
Before she could react the guy lunges at her, he wrapped his arms around her and tried to drag her out the door.
She struggled to break free. Then she reached back and gauged at his eyes.
He lets go of her, and she immediately grabbed her phone and locked herself in the bathroom.
Meanwhile
"You have a good day sir." The female employee greeted, giving John his Chinese food.
He had just stepped out of the restaurant when his phone rang.
He smiled when his phone read Lexi.
He answered. "Hey. I'm on my way ba-" he stopped when he heard pounding.
"John! Help me please!" she shouts.
"What's going on?"
"He's here! He's trying to kill me!"
"Where are you?"
"I'm in my bathroom. Please! You need to-" she stopped.
"NO! NO! GET AWAY!'' There was then a loud scream before there was silence.
"Lexi? LEXI?"
John was extremely worried. He immediately called the police, gave them Lexi's address, and raced back to her apartment.
The door was open.
He went inside. He immediately went to the bathroom where Lexi said she was at.
He then finds her laying by her bathtub, her face covered in blood.
Frantic he grabbed a towel and put it on the wound on her head.
"It's going to be okay. You're going to be okay." He whispered to her as he held her close.
Let me know what you thought of this chapter.
