Love Is Love

Destroy his reputation...

Lin's POV:
I let Stacy out of the car like the gentleman I am and settled her down in the green room. Pippa was making a cup of tea by the kettle so I beckoned her to follow me. Of course she instantly followed without saying a word since she is telepathic clearly.
"What's up Lin?"
"Hey, you know you're going on maternity leave?"
"Um... Do you want me to stay or something? Because if you do I-"
"-You don't. I just wondered if you're comfortable with letting Stacy play the Eliza role."
"I get it. She's your wife and you want to kiss her but she needs to sing and act too."
"She can. Her audition will be tonight."
"In the theatre or..."
"In the theatre. You can go back to your tea now."
She awkwardly left not knowing if she did anything wrong, I mean she sorta did though. I ignored my thoughts and left for my dressing room. There was a lot of noise coming from the spare dressing room but I assumed it was storage moving and opened the door to see Groff. Well... I guessed it was.
"Groffsauce?"
His whole body was behind the blinds and only his nose was poking out. It was quite hilarious to see but I needed to get him changed before he pulled a Leslie and waited till the 5 minute call. He wasn't changed in his costume at all. Typical.
"HELLO LIN-MANUEL MIRANDA!"
"Someone's energetic!"
He laughed and went to his costume rack putting on his crown.
"I'M THE KING OF THE CASTLE AND YOU'RE THE DIRTY RASCAL!!!"
"Did someone get laid last night or are you on drugs?"
He blushed and told me of him and his boyfriends' 'escapade'. Fun. Eventually Renee came in and saved me from any more torture of being told a taboo subject that should stay taboo. If you get what I mean... I immediately rushed and asked her how her family was to her confusion but I needed to escape Jon.
"Someone's happy!"
"Shhhh..."
Eventually she got the gist and later on asked me whether I wanted some coffee to which I obliged and she left for the green room to get it leaving me back with Jon.
"Lin..."
"Liiiinnnnn..."
"LIN!"
"Huh?"
"That was the 5 minute call."
"WHAT?!"
He laughed as I frantically grasped bits of my costume. When I was finished Leslie smirked from the other side of the wings. Damn he is quick.
After the show Renee handed me a coffee as I went to stage door. I hadn't seen Stacy today which was a worry since she usually doesn't leave my side so the stage dooring was purposely sped up a bit. Afterwards I walked down the hallway hearing more noise from the spare dressing room and let my curiosity get the better of me taking a peep. I froze as the first thing I saw was a gun aimed at me. Not a fake one. I made sure to stay still and looked to see Stacy crying tied up on the floor, she had a band covering her mouth to mute her as my heart broke seeing her a sorry state. She was covered in bruises and was bleeding from a nasty gash across her forehead. Unable to bear anymore I turned to look back at the man holding the gun. It was one of the men carrying the body bag. They were after her too.

Stacy's POV:
I watched as Lin walked in the room. Out of all the people I wanted to come in he was the last. He didn't deserve this, he is kind and warm hearted and this man is evil and cruel. This man has no heart at all probably. As soon as the man turned to face Lin I held back a scream when he aimed his gun, I must be strong, for Lin, for us. It was painful to see Lin attempting to take hand of the situation he just walked into. If he didn't come he would be fine but now he has, we're both in equal danger.

Lin's POV:
"I-I know you, you were one of the people who killed her p-parents."
"What an intelligent fiancé! Go back to your fame and pretend you didn't see this okay?"
I can't leave her. I won't. If she dies I sure as hell am gonna die by her side.
"I'm afraid I can't do that."
"Why not?"
"Because the girl you are mercilessly torturing is the love of my life and I will not allow her to die."
"Oh! Does she need to ask permission then?"
Okay now he's really just taking the piss.
"If she dies. I'll die."
I heard Stacy take a sharp breath at my words but I was more than aware that my words will not heal her wounds and she needs to get to a hospital quick.
"Tell you what. You, me fight. Winner gets the girl."
"But I love her you just want to hurt her!"
"Deal?"
If I say no she'll die if I say yes she's got a 50/50 chance. Hell, here we go then.
"Deal. I'm taking her home tonight and I'll fight you here tomorrow morning."
He nodded his head,
"And if you go now I won't tell anyone about your visit tonight."
With that he scarpered and I called the ambulance to sort Stacy out.
"S-Sweetie?"
"Shhhh..."
"D-Don't you know what h-he's capable of?"
"Yes but that's my burden to carry not yours now I want you to stay awake okay?"
I was told the ambulance would be there in 8 minutes and watched as her eyes drifted across the room lazily.
"Hey Hun?"
"What?"
"You go get your stitches picked while I go sort out the dick!"
She rolled her eyes but there was a hint of a smile there and I was more than happy to see it. She needed a smile right now. After a while the ambulance came and she was rushed to and fro with me by her side.
"Excuse me sir, we think she's going to stay the night here and you can see her tomorrow afternoon."
I got up from my seat mumbling:
"If I'm alive tomorrow afternoon"
"Excuse me?"
"Just you wait."
I replied sarcastically and left to plan what the heck I was going to do tomorrow morning to keep my fiancé. Once I got home I sat down on the sofa for hours before I felt cold circular metal being pushed against my temple.

"Thought I'd pay an early visit."

AN: Going on holiday in 30 minutes so I thought I'd quickly write a surprise chapter for you guys! Lots of drama coming up but I'll see ya in the next chapter!!!
