Joe helped me out of the ring and to the back. Jon met us at the curtain and he hugged me. I cried in his chest.
"Why is Bray acting like this?" Jon asked.
"Because she rejected him." Joe said.
"Okay. We're gonna take care of him. He needs his ass kicked." Jon said.
"He's crazy Jon. He'll do anything."
That was it. I got out of Jon's grip and ran off towards my locker room. When I got there I sat down on the couch and just cried. This couldn't be happening. I felt like it was my dad all over again.
I felt like I couldn't breathe. I needed air. I needed to be able to breathe. I got up and ran out of the arena. I felt a lot better.
The door opened but I didn't look. I was too scared that it might be Bray.
"Baby, are you okay?" I heard Joe's voice.
I sighed in relief. "No. No I'm not."
"Please. Let me help you." he said. He put his hands on my shoulders and I could feel myself breaking down again.
"I can't let you get hurt because of me." I said.
"Does that mean you're reconsidering?" I heard Bray. He walked out of the dark with somebody behind him.
"No. I'm not." I said.
"Well, in that case, I have somebody that wants to talk to you." he said.
The figure behind him stepped out from behind him and I about passed out. It was my father. I didn't break. I just stood there staring at him.
"Hello sweetie." he said.
"Don't you call me that. You are not allowed to call me that ever again." I said.
"What's going on?" Joe asked.
"You're Joe, right? Yeah, listen, this is between me and my daughter. So why don't you just go back inside." my dad said.
"No don't you leave me." I said.

JOE'S P.O.V.
"No don't you leave me." she said.
I looked down and saw that she was shaking. Her father seriously scares her. My phone vibrated and I checked it without anybody knowing. It was Jon.
Katie's dad is here. Get here in here now! He did things to her and that's why he was in prison.
I felt something inside of me burn with anger. I looked back at the man and gently grabbed Katie's hand. We were close enough to the door that we could make a run for it.

KATIE'S P.O.V.
I felt Joe grab my hand and I felt a little more at ease. After a few seconds I was being pulled backwards through a door. I ran along with Joe until we got to catering. Jon was standing there and when we walked in Jon ran over to me and hugged me. "Your mom called me. She told me everything."
I broke down crying in his arms after that. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you. I'm so sorry." I cried.
"Don't be sorry sweetheart. You have nothing to be sorry for."
"Katie Campion?" I heard. I pulled away from Jon and saw a police officer standing there. "We wanted you to know that we arrested your father and he's going back to prison. You have a protection order and he broke it."
I cried harder this time. Thank god. Now my only problem is Bray.

A week later
One week has passed and I haven't heard from Bray at all. Joe and Jon have been keeping me close to them so they could keep an eye on me. That meant, I was doing everything with them from rooming with them to leaving with them wherever they went. It was annoying but I liked that they were so caring. Since nothing really happened I haven't been that upset about it.
Jon was at the gym working out and Joe was in the hotel room with me. I was watching a movie and Joe was in the bathroom shaving. When he was done, he came out and sat down beside me in only basketball shorts.
I looked over but had to do a second look really quick. "Well, look at my man being all sexy." I said.
"Really?" he said leaning in.
"Yeah. It's inspired me to do something." I said.
"Me too." He was just about to kiss me when I pulled away.
"I have to go grab my vibrator." I got up and ran to the Joe's bedroom.
I could hear Joe running after me and when I got in the bedroom, I was pulled down on the bed laughing. It was fun joking with Joe about this stuff.
We pulled away from each other and smiled. "I love you." Joe said.
"What?" I asked shocked.
"I know it's soon. It's too soon in fact but I can't hold it back anymore. I love you. I'm in love with you." he said.
"I don't know what to say." I said. I was on the verge of tears.
"You don't have to say anything. I know it's too soon and I know that I caught you off guard but I just had to tell you."
"I, um, I, I love you too." I said. I really meant it. I think I actually loved him since we first met.
"Really?" he asked.
"Yeah. I do. I have since day one. I saw you and I instantly felt a connection between the two of us. I've never felt like this with anyone else." I said.
"Me too."
He kissed me.
