The plane had landed not long ago and Colby and I were headed to baggage claim to grab our things. We walked in silence and I could feel some sort of tension that sent chills down my spine. Why was there tension?

I grabbed my things before walking away to where I was supposed to meet my team. I saw my manager Jessica and grinned. Running over to her, I dropped my things and jumped on her in a hug. She wrapped her arms around me and I sighed. She has been there for me through it all.

"I missed you Jess, so much." She squeezed me tighter and nodded her head.

"I missed you too crackhead. Let's get you home and safe." 

I could hear Colby following us and I wasn't quite sure what he was thinking right now but I was scared. I was scared of him thinking the worst of things. I saw my old bodyguard, Jeff, from Kansas waiting by the car for us and grinned. 

I handed my bags to my new bodyguard and ran to Jeff.

"Jeffery! I missed you so much!" I jumped on him and he caught me and chuckled.

"I missed you too squirt! We got to get going but we'll talk yeah?"

I nodded and climbed into the car. I told them to take us to Colby's apartment complex first and they nodded driving over there. I looked over at Colby to see him looking out at the window. I reached over and grabbed his hand and held it in my lap.

Grabbing his attention, Colby looked over at me and smiled before leaning over and kissing my cheek. I smiled widely and leaned my head on his shoulder. I could see Jessica and Jeff looking at us with smiles on their faces. They knew that it took a lot out of me to date someone after what happened. 

I frowned at the thought of my ex. Soon enough we were at Colby's complex. He asked me if I wanted to come with him and I shook my head.

"I've been with you for a week, go be with your friends." I hugged him and kissed his cheek goodbye before climbing into the car.

I looked at my team and smiled, "Let's go home."

At my house

I looked at the place that I used to call home. I didn't know what it was to me anymore. I felt lost. The thoughts in my head soared as my team led me into the house carrying my things. They were talking to me, but I wasn't listening.

I nodded my head to everything that they were saying and it wasn't long before they were leaving. I sat on my couch thinking about everything that has happened in the last few weeks and sighed. My thoughts were broken by the sound of my phone buzzing.

I picked it up to see something that I never thought I would see again. He was back. My ex was back. I had gotten a notification from my lawyer saying that my ex had been released from jail and to be careful. 

Memories started to fill my head as my mind spun with all of the information that I was being given. My ex, Liam Edwards, was out of jail after being charged with assault, 2nd degree murder, and rape. Tears flooded my eyes as I thought of what he did.

Flashback

"WHY DID YOU CHEAT ON ME YOU SLUT!"

I shook my head violently, "I didn't cheat on you, Li it's your baby I promise. You always said that you wanted to get married and have kids with me and now we can."

"HA you thought that I actually loved you. I only kept you around because I knew that you couldn't live without me. How does it feel to be completely helpless, worthless even. That baby is not mine and you know it whore."

He started to charge at me and I could feel my body go cold as his stone cold hands grabbed my arm pulling me to my feet. I knew what was coming and I began trying to pull myself away, but there was no use. He wasn't stronger than me but he terrified me to the point where I was weak and helpless.

He ripped my shirt from my body and threw it to the ground before pulling me to the chains that he had attached to the wall. He chained me up as he grabbed his knife set and stood a ways back. He had this sickly grin on his face as he threw the first knife at my stomach.

The knife made contact with me as he laughed and I began to bleed out. I couldn't remember much after the sixth knife made contact with my stomach. I had blacked out.

Present day

I shook my head at the thoughts and looked at my phone again to see a text from Liam.

I'm coming for you 

My body shook in fright and I didn't know what to do. I had nobody left that knew about this situation. I missed Jay in this moment. He promised me that he would be by my side no matter what happened and I needed it right now more than ever.

My body sank to the floor as I clutched my phone in my hand. He knew exactly where I was because of my fans and I wouldn't be surprised if Ashley told him my address. She was beginning to be a pain in my ass.

My jaw tightened as my phone began to buzz with an incoming call from Lucas. I ignored the call and threw my phone against the wall. I wasn't going to let him coddle me. I was an adult and I needed to figure out what to do by myself. 

I stood up slowly and looked toward my TV for a moment. I could see someone in my reflection through the screen and frowned in confusion. How was he here? I spun around on my heels only to see him there in the flesh.

"Jay?..."
