Lilith Harlow

Music and broken noses

Lilith pov

I get to the hotel still clutching the number tightly in my hand not quite understanding what happened tonight. Trying to wrap my head around what just happened, I walk toward my bed and flop down as dramatically as possible.

In 4 days I make my debut and here I am acting like a teenage girl gushing over a boy in school. As I pull out my phone I feel almost like a zombie adding the number to my contacts. I don't have to courage to text the number just yet so in the meantime I decide to go take a shower to try and wash off the events of tonight.

I don't really know how long I stood under the water but all I know is when I stepped out I immediately went to my phone and added the number I've been stressing about all night. Knowing if I text him tonight I will stress until I get an answer, I set a timer to send a text for about an hour after I see myself falling into a dreamless sleep.

I wake up to my alarm blaring on my nightstand. I get up knowing I have to get in a workout before I head to the arena. I have a meeting with one of the tech guys so we can find my entrance music and logo.

I grab my workout gear and my regular gear before heading downstairs to the gym. Within the next two hours, I find myself standing under the steaming water trying to wash the remnants of my workout off before I head to the arena.

Making my way to the tech room, I realize I have a few minutes to spare so I pull out my earbuds and listen to my entrance music one last time before I decide to make it mine. As soon as I hear the first chord I know that this is it. I unplug my earbuds and nudge the door open with my shoulder not ready for what awaited me on the other side.

Jons POV

I make my way down the relatively empty hallways of the arena replaying the events of last night the entire time. I don't know what made me do it but I do know that waking up to a text from an unknown number made my mind race like it hasn't since I was with Renee.

My phone buzzes snapping me out of my thoughts. I sigh when I see a text from Cody telling me to meet him at the tech room so we can start to figure out the music for when I tag with Lilith. I have an idea for a song but it has to be cleared through Lilith and ultimately Cody.

As I near the door I can hear arguing and I recognize one of the voices is the guy from the club last night. I pick up my pace and push the door open as fast as I can to see if my memory aids me correctly.

I see a curtain of grayish blond hair laying down the back of who I recognize as Lilith. She stands shaking in front of Jack... sorry Jake, whatever it doesn't matter what his name is. What matters is the fact that he has a bright red handprint on his left cheek and is now stepping closer to Lilith backing her against the wall.

Why it took me so long to step forward and stop him I don't know but I do know that seeing her so vulnerable makes my blood boil as I walk toward Jake. "What the fuck do you think you're doing. I thought I told you last night to stay the fuck away from her." He doesn't make a move to back up he instead turns his head to face me.

"Last I checked Dean I didn't think you were in any place to tell me what to do." Hearing that name just pushed me over the edge and all I'm seeing at this point is red. Stepping forward I grab the back of his shirt and throw him to the floor. I watch as his head makes contact with the concrete but I don't stop there. I get on top of him and throw punch after punch hearing a crack as my fist connects with his nose.

I feel a small hand on my shoulder stopping me from hitting him again. I look back to see Lilith standing over me pulling me off of a now unconscious Jake with a furious Cody standing behind her.

"WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU JON!! I don't know what that was but I think you have some explaining to do." Lilith breaks eye contact that I didn't even realize that we were holding before turning to Cody.

"He was standing up for me Cody. When he walked in Jake had me up against the wall with his arm against my throat. Jake came in yelling at me calling me a slut and that I would never amount to anything in this company without him. He brought up my past so I slapped him and he started to choke me." She looks down shyly before continuing. "That's when Jon stepped in."

Cody nods his head in understanding before extending a hand to me pulling me off the floor. "Since you're both here I guess now is as good a time as any to discuss the ins and outs of you teaming together."
