Future Journey 3/3

Next few weeks

Colleen POV

Tension was mounting between Josh and I. I have been on the east coast for 3.5 weeks straight and haven't flown home. I am going from meeting to meeting and then to the studios to talk to crew. This is my show and my one shot to make it. I get a text from Josh saying to call him later if I have time. I close my eyes and can just imagine what the dialogue will be. Him yelling or upset and right now I cannot handle it. I am under so much stress. I make my way to Johns apartment and find that someone seems to be following me. I walk a little quicker and go into a store to see if I am overreacting and he goes away. I pop out 10 mins later with some groceries for John and I and see that he was waiting for me. I phone John and ask him to meet me but he doesn't answer. I am getting worried. I walk into the building and he walks right up to me and into the elevator. Maybe he lives here? I think. I go up the elevator and he hits a higher floor than mine. "you are Colleen Ballinger aren't you?" he asks me. "yes well I am married now , Colleen Evans" I say. He seems to be a little old for my fans honestly. "I am a big fan" he says. He is creeping me out. "thank you...have a good day" I say as I step off the elevator. Just as I do he pushes me against the wall and starts trying to kiss me, touch me and I start to scream for John. His apartment is two doors away. I am trying to get out his grasp but he is stronger than me. I am crying and trying to get my hands free. Finally I hear a door open and I hear Johns voice. He is yelling at him and punches him right in the face. He passes me his phone and says call 911. I do crying and the police come shortly after to take him away. They ask me if I need medical help which I don't physically.Mentally I am a mess. The police tell John to bring me to police station in the morning and they take all of our information while I sit on the floor and stare into space. John comes and scoops me up. My shirt is torn off and I have cuts everywhere from when I was trying to break free. "Oh my god Colleen are you okay? I need to call Josh" he says. I shake my head no. John says "Colleen I couldn't live with myself if I didn't" as he hugs me tight. I start crying again.

Josh POV

I am really annoyed lately. I miss my wife who doesn't seem to want to talk to me or have time for me. She can never make it home to see us. I get that she is working hard but I want our old life back. Where we live under the same roof. The kids are watching TV while I make some pasta and I get a phone call. I look at the caller ID and its Colleen. I answer the phone ready to give her shit but it's not her. "Josh?" "Yes" I say "JOhn?" I ask. "Yup. Ummm there has been an incident and Colleen got attacked and she didn't want me to call you but she is a mess" he says. My heart stops. "What? How is she?" I ask. "She was walking to my apartment tonight and someone followed her and well attacked her and tore off her clothes but I got to him before anything too major happened thank god" he says. "John where is she now? Hospital?" I ask crying. "No she is in her room. She isn't talking to anyone. She denied medical attention" he says. "I had to call you, sorry Josh" he says. "no thank you for calling me" I say. "I am going to call her sister to come watch my kids and I will fly out there. Pls take care of her until then" I ask him. "yes of course, text me the details" he says.

I call Rachel. She is crying and her and Matt again come to our rescue. I get on a 10pm flight from LA which lands in NY at 3am LA time/6am New York time. I think of Colleen all flight. Why was I mad cause she was working....sooo silly to pick fights over meaningless stuff. I am on my way Baby
