"Do you need help"
"Joe, if I tell you I'm fine then I got it" my stitches and bruises should be healed right now, and they would've been. Had I not gotten into a fight with Carmella and busted my stitches open, she hit me first though! It was self defense-
"Luna pay attention!" Joe wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me out of the way of the door which was violently swung open by Colby, he walked in looking beyond angry.
"JOE WHAT THE FUCK-" Joe set me down and shoved him out the door, closing it once they left out. I shook my head and settled on the couch, they've argued a lot lately. Not just those two, Jon and Joe have been arguing a lot as well lately, it's really starting to worry me because I don't want them to split. Especially not with BattleGround being next Sunday, we don't need this drama. The door opened and I looked back, Colby had Joe by the back of his shirt.
"What happened?" I stood up as best as I could, still completely confused
"Tell her. Now" Colby demanded shoving Joe in front of me, Joe stared at the floor.
"....Joe?" He shook his head and I started to panic
"Colby, what happened" I nearly shouted when I saw Joe's black eye
"You won't tell her, I will. Joe has been cheating on you with Carmella. Their 'storyline' is a plan for them to sabotage your title match" my arms fell to my sides, what? How could Joe do...
"That's not true" I shook my head and turned to Joe
"You wouldn't do that" he closed his eyes, I stared at him waiting for a response. None ever came. He lifted his head and finally spoke
"I wanted to tell you sooner-" I slapped him and his head snapped to the side, I know I slapped him hard because the entire side of his face was red. He hissed and cradled his face, pretty sure I hit his eyes when I hit him. That's exactly what I was going for, he looked at me and his eyes held a rage I'd never seen before. For once I was scared of Joe, but I held my ground. He was breathing heavily as he inched toward me, I stared back at him. Not moving an inch. Colby went to step in
"Next time you put you hands on me-"
I hit him again before he could finish his sentence, he paused looking even angrier if it was possible.
"Luna.." Colby warned, I held my hand up to him. I know Joe better than anyone, he won't hit me. Joe got in my face and his hands came down on hard my shoulders
"Hit me. Do it, if it helps you feel better about what you did to me" he stopped and his face softened, I shoved him back
"Colby my bag is in that room, can I stay with you?"
"Sure" he walked away and Joe turned to me
"Wait, no. Don't leave, I'm sorry. I love you still-"
"Tough. You should've thought about that-" he gently took my hand in his
"Please, let me make up for it. It was stupid, I know and I'm pissed at myself. This secret has been tearing me up on the inside, don't you think me having to deal with a guilty conscience is enough punishment? Don't leave me to deal with it on my own, babe. Stay" he pulled me into his chest and nuzzled his face in my hair, I fought back tears as best as I could. By now my anger had completely died out, all I felt was sadness and hurt.
