It happened. | COLIFER FANFIC

Chapter 20 | Again

That night, Colin woke up with a knocking on his hotel door.

"Fuck." He groaned as he looked to the clock. 3am.

Helen was still frozen still, grabbing him like a rock and suddenly the knocking stopped.

He didn't even get up and laid back down in the bed.

But then this thought hit him.
It could be Jen.

He reached his phone on the nightstand, Helen still laying on him.

His notifications were all about texts. Jen texts.

Colin are you awake?
Please answer me
I need help
Colin...
Please...

He looked at it and got up in a second waking Helen with a confused look.

"Cad é an ifreann?" She groaned.

"I'll be right back."

She didn't say anythingg more and just buried her face in the pillow.

Colin opened the door and of course she wasn't here anymore.
He ran to the elevator, still with his pajamas and finally pressed the 2nd floor button.

He ran down the aisle to her door and finally knocked on her door.

He heard footsteps coming towards the door and then stopped.

"Jen it's me open the door."

There was a moment of silence.

"Jen let me in."

The door swung open showing her still in a white tight dress and when he looked at her face he swear his heart broke.

"Jen bloody hell" he breathed as he stepped inside.

She had her right cheek all bruised, a purple circle around her left eye.
Her eyes were red of crying, tears still drying on her cheeks.

"Jesse appeared." He said, his teeth pressuring on his lower teeth to ease his anger.

"No... Jesse is in preventive detention. The court would be in 3 days." She was breathing heavily. "It was his men. I told you that when he said this, it was true. Colin I shouldn't have reported him,. Colin..." Her voice started breaking, she started sobbing and he just brought her to his arms.

She started crying like he has never seen.
Her body trembling with fear.

He just held her tighter against him.

And they stayed like that.
Probably for half an hour.
She just kept crying, pouring out all her sadness, her fears and how he was here now.

Lost in thought, he realized she had stopped crying and pulled her away, still holding her arms with his hands.

"Let's take care of you hum?"

He smiled at her and she weakly smiled back.

Take care of me... Jen thought. He's really going to take care of her.
