HONOR AND TRIUMPH [a shield kidnapping story]

Untitled Part 7

Justin Gabriel’s pov 

Nix fell asleep in my arms, we’ve been driving for 2 hours and we were almost there and we were all arguing about who she’s sleeping with, David and heath think that she should be with me, and she seems to like me so I think it’s a good idea, I really like her so I can’t stand the thought of her sleeping in another guys bed. Ok I am really over protective of her. I really like her and can’t let anyone else have her. The rest of the guys finally gave up and agreed to let me have her, except for wade, but he’s just gonna have to accept it. We finally got to the house and all of the guys got out and then I picked up nix and got out and went up to my room. I put her in the bed and took off my shirt, don’t judge me, that am how I like to sleep, shirtless. I hopped into bed and wrapped my arms protectively around her .after a while I fell asleep

Nix’s pov

I am getting sick of waking up in different places every fucking night , the person with their arms around me better be likable or I will punch him in the face. I turned around to see Justin Gabriel, hm not bad, he opened his eyes and sleepily smiled at me  “good morning beautiful” he’s sweet, but I still hate that word ‘beautiful’ such a wretched word ,not to be used on the likes of me . Justin looked at me and said “I know that look” what is he talking about? “What look?” “the look on you face is one of self-hatred, the look of not being happy with just being what you are, thinking you’re  not good enough even though you better than those who think that they are better than you” how the hell did he get all of that from looking into my eyes . Justin just stared at me and said “you can tell a lot about a person by the look in their eyes. “Oh really? Well what you know about me by my eyes ”he chuckled“ I know that you always hate the way people associate you with a positive expectation that you can never live up to ,you always convinced yourself that you were a monster so you didn’t have to be any better than everyone else ,and you always think you are less than you are and you built strong walls in order to keep people out but now you realise I’ve broken down your walls and I just figured it out, I just figured you out”

 For some reason him taking every fear and emotion that I’ve kept buried and telling me that  it’s not a problem made me want to scream at him about how it wasn’t ok and I’m not ok but before I could he put a hand on my shoulder and looked into my eyes with a reassuring glance and instead of screaming I just buried my head in his chest and all of my emotions flowed out in a river of tears and he just stroked my hair and said “shh its ok” I pulled away and looked into his eyes and he just gave a sad smile and leaned in and gave me a kiss on the forehead to let me know that it’s alright. I smiled at him and he pulled me closer into his chest  and played with my hair

we heard a knock at the door and Justin said “come in”  heath slater came in smiling a polite smile at me and then he turned to Justin “Justin wade wants to talk to you” Justin’s smile instantly dropped and he just sighed and said “shore ,please look after her” heath nodded as Justin walked out of the room, heath walked over to me ,I was now sitting on the be bed with my legs crossed , he got on the bed and sat down with his legs crossed facing me , he just smiled, but when he realised that I wasn’t going to start a conversation and said “hey, I know that all of this is wired and confusing but I’m shore it’ll work out” “I know, but I just want to be able to control my life ,but it just seems to be in the hands of everyone else except me, and with each change of hands another layer of who I was is torn away until there’s nothing left but the core truth of who I am ,a lonely scared abandoned girl with no family and no heart”

 The look on heaths face was one of pure sadness and empathy he looked me in the eyes and wrapped his arms around and just kept whispering ‘I’m sorry’ I just hugged him back on the brink of tears saying ‘its ok, it’s alright it’s not your fault’ he finally pulled away and said “I’m so sorry ,after hearing how you feel , all I want is to help you and to make you happy, and the worst part is that I have no power to stop the plan that was set in motion” I know he’s serious and this is a stupid question to ask but ………. “why, why can’t you talk some sense into them and stop this madness and let me go!?, I just want to go home” I ended up sobbing into his shoulder and he pulled me into his lap and letting me cry before talking again “I know it’s unfair and I am sorry that I can’t do anything to change that , but even if I did convince the rest of the nexus that this is wrong, we couldn’t stop it. Brock would be the first to be after us, then the Wyatt family and then Kane, and the word will get around to randy and Batista so it’ll be 7average sized men vs 7 of the biggest and most feared monsters, brock alone is like 2 times my size, so I’m sorry but there is nothing that any of us can do,” ok so I have no chance of getting out of this. Great, that is just perfect for my life, note the sarcasm.

There was a knock at the door, I looked over to see Justin with a sympathetic smile. “hey nix, how’re you feeling ?” it’s so nice that he cares “I could be better but given the situation I’m feeling good” he smiled at the fact that I seem to be getting over the depression “I’m glad to see you smile, um are you hungry?” “yes I am” he chuckled lightly “good, I made breakfast for you” he said while walking over and offering me a hand” I gladly took it and he helped me up and lead me out of the room and along a corridor and down some stairs and we stopped at one of the most beautiful kitchens I had ever seen, and there on the dining table were muffins, pancakes and bacon and eggs, wow. Justin let go of my hand and walked over to the head of the table and pulled out a chair for me, I smiled and thanked him then sat downHeath and Justin sat either side of me.

We just ate our food in silence until the rest of the nexus came thundering in, and helped them-selves, just for good measure wade stole my food. It reminded me of when I was bullied in high school, when people do stuff like that ,I don’t yell at them, I just get a bit depressed and sit there feeling sorry for myself, I think today we’ve already established that I’m not as tough as I made myself out to be. Justin noticed my sadness and pointed it out to heath. Heath stood up and told off wade “give her the food” wade just chuckled and said “the girl can talk, why she doesn’t convince me to give it back”. Justin stood up and said “because your actions have already brought up some unpleasant memories for her, so she’s depressed” heath stepped in and said “she’s very shy and quiet when she’s depressed” wade just laughed again “ I’m shore she hasn’t lost the ability to speak, go ahead little one ,beg for a meal” everyone except heath and Justin laughed . They both looked furious. Just as they were about to rip wade a new one, the doorbell rang, wayde decided to be an ass yet again “Nixie, be a sweetheart and get the door will you?” I rolled my eyes at his cruel humour and went to answer the door.

When I opened it , I didn’t like what I saw
