Rheas POV-
     I was in a complete panic after I got off the phone with Ally, the mixed emotions of pure rage, worry and fear all playing a part. I rushed into my locker room , throwing everything into my bag while trying to change out of my ring gear.
     Fuck, was the only word at this point of time I could speak.  Once I had everything packed, ran out and down the hallway trying to find Priest.
  
        I rushed into the guys locker room finding Priest sitting there while her chatted with Dom and Finn.
   "Woah, Rhea what's wrong?" He's eyes caught mine as he looked at me with worry. "We need to leave now, please. I need to get home."

    Not trying to sit here and explain my situation further as Dom was eyeing me. "What's wrong Mi Amor?" He asked me with a slight hint of worry but also annoyance.
  "I'm ready, let's go." Priest grabbed my hand as we ran out of the building and to the rental car. Priest asked no questions as he drove as fast as he could to the airport, then proceeded to take care of getting us a flight home.
  "There's a flight to Orlando taking off within the next hour." The agent looked up at us while we handed her each of our cards.
      Sprinting towards security, thanking whoever is watching above us that no one was there. We found our gate rather fast and were able to board right away. Priest let me have the window seat as he took the the middle.
  "Now that we're alone and away from everyone, what's going on?" He turned his head towards me while I took a deep breath. "Ally is the top surgeon for Orlando Hospital and is a nationally recognized surgeon.
    
     She has this boss who is just a complete and utter asshole to her. Constantly tries and hits on her, disrespecting her and her work. I guess all day today he's been nothing but a terror to her. When she called me , she was hysterical about something. Priest , this woman isn't easily frightened. But she was sobbing, begging me to let her come to my house.
       I asked her what's going on, she only responded with Mark. Not to mention, she was watching the show tonight. She saw Dom kissing me once again." I rubbed my forehead as I groaned in frustration.
    "Demi, look. She needs to feel safe and secure, and right now that is your house. Obviously this man needs to be reported because talking to him doesn't seem to be working. You just need to talk to and talk to her calmly about this. I know you are protective of her and that you want to make sure she's taken care of. Reality is Rhe, you guys spent 10 years apart , she knows how to handle herself. With the Dom situation, he just needs to grow up."

       I looked over to him while he gave me a soft look. I leaned into him as he wrapped his arm around me. "I just.. I can't lose her once again Priest." Feeling the tears forming in my eyes. "And you're not Demi. If you were going to lose her , she wouldn't be in your bed at your house."
  We didn't speak the rest of the flight but he did let me stay against him as I let myself slowly fall asleep.
   "Demi, hey we landed . Come on, let's get out of here." Priest shook me gently, letting me  have a few minutes to get myself together. "Why don't you let me drive?" He looked down at me as he extended his hand out for my key. "Absolutely not, my truck , my driving." 
      He groaned as he hates when I drive. I looked down at my phone , seeing it was close to 2 am. I looked to see if Ally texted me but I haven't heard anything since she called me.
    "Maam, your truck." The attendant handed me my keys as I thanked him, throwing my bags in the back seat.  Once I saw Priest was in , I quickly took off, making my way home as he sat there shaking his head.
   It took me no longer than 20 minutes to get home, pulling down my street as I saw my house coming into view.
   "See, look. I'm guessing that's her truck." I pulled into my driveway, seeing her truck next to mine now, leaving my bag in the truck. I opened the front door, seeing her bags and shoes next to the doorway. The dogs had to be upstairs with her since they didn't come running over.  Priest came in shortly after me, as he looked at me to show him his room.
        I walked him upstairs and down the hallway to the spare guest room , showing him where everything was in the bathroom for him.
    "I'll see you in the morning, go be with her." He pushed me out of the room as I flew down the hallway, opening the door slowly as I saw Barry perk his head up and Luna curled on the end of the bed. I stripped the clothes I had on , making my way over to my side of the bed, climbing in gently.
    She stirred quickly, her hands pushing me away as she panicked. "Baby, it's me . It's just me, my love."  She calmed down slightly as I pulled her into me tightly, wrapping my arms around her. She nuzzled her face into the crook of my neck, while I rubbed my hands up and down her back.
       "Baby." I whispered softly as she turned her head up to me , I could see the tears brimming her eyes. Her lips crashed on to mine while her hands held my face tightly. I kissed back , keeping up the pace she had, while she crawled into my lap. Her legs straddled me , my hands resting on her hips, gripping them softly.
She tried to deepen the kiss, running her tongue against my lip, I denied her. Pushing her back from me while she protested trying to keep her grip. "Baby stop. I need you to talk to me, my love."  She didn't say anything but constantly crashed against my chest as the sounds of soft sobs started coming through. 
 
    I paused for a moment, but then quickly wrapped my arms around her, holding her tightly. " Shhhh, you're a safe baby. I'm here, I got you my love."
  She didn't say anything, as she laid on my chest, sobbing while I kissed her head here and there.
