Chapter 1 // Where is the real me? I’m lost and it kills me inside, I'm paralyzed

The cold air had began to set in. I walked back into the kitchen and sat down wondering where my current boyfriend is, Duke Wells. I began to look photos of us, when we were happier last year, now it feels like he is just attempting to control me. I grabbed a few of my things and left him a note when I heard the door unlock.

"What the fuck are you doing?" He asked coming in drunk and stumbling.

"You're fucking drunk again!"

"No I am not."

"I am going to visit my sister in LA for a few days."

"No you're not!"

He grabbed me by the arm and pushed me down onto the floor.

"You will leave when I say you leave!!" He began to kick me in the ribs making me whimper.

I tripped him and he fell onto the floor breaking his nose.

"You fucking whore!" He said as I heard a knock at the door and ran toward it and making it out of there.

I left everything in there but my cell phone. I called Dany and thankfully she was in NYC for a premiere.

"Hey LC!"

 "I need your help. Where are you?"

"I am at the hotel, I am on my way."

"No its okay, I just need a place to stay for the night."

"I am coming, sit tight please."

After a few minutes, a black SUV pulled up and she got out. She hugged me and I cried.

"What happened?"

I showed her my bruises and on my arms and the moment I had started to shiver a little.

"Lets get you inside." She said as Luke , her bodyguard headed up to get my stuff.

25 minutes later , he came down with my stuff and more police came.

"He tried to attack me so I had to defend myself."

I saw him when he got into the police car as a tear row down my cheek. Luke got me out of there and headed to the hotel.

"Does Dwayne know about this?"

"No. I don't want him to know."

"Why?"

"Between the I told you so and to the temper he would have if he ever saw Duke again."

"Okay good point."

"Ma'am, we should get her checked out quickly."

"No questions asked if we get a doctor to come out to the hotel."

"Okay ma'am, I will drop the two of you off and grab Dr. Clemens."

"Thank you Luke, for everything. "I hugged him and headed through the lobby and into the elevator.

 Once I was inside, the doctor came about 25 minutes later. He checked me over and my ribs were bruised but I was able to breathe and the x-ray showed I had no broken ribs.

"I want you to take it easy. "

After I took a few muscle relaxers , I fell asleep fast in the bed. Dany had taken another room next door to give me some privacy. I wasn't aware of what would happen next to me. That next morning, I felt sore and horrible. Not only did the tabloids hear about that whole ordeal last night, but damn I didn't tell DJ or even Roman for that matter and now I was half ass expecting a call, but instead I got a knock on the door. Luke had slept on the couch while I took the bed and he got up to answer it.

"Hey." Luke nodded at him and let Dwayne in. "Why didn't you call me last night about this?"

"Because I don't need the I told you so."

 "I wouldn't have told you that , especially with you being in so much pain."

He hugged me lightly, but I lifted my shirt up to show him my bruises and he was mad.

"So the good news is you will be booked on a flight to England for a movie."

"What are you talking about?" I asked Dany.

"You are going for an audition."

"Really? I don't have any of my nice clothing or anything with me."

"I am coming with you so we can go together. Mel is in Hawaii with her boyfriend and I just wrapped a movie up, I want to come sis."

"Okay fine."

I took a fast shower, the paps were all over this.

My outfit:
"Luke, do whatever you can to make sure she is okay." Dany said.

He nodded and the bellhop man took down my bags along with Dwayne's. He locked his arm with mine so we would get out quickly and Luke had gotten me safely into the car. Dany had gotten me a temporary passport until I get my real one back from the skanky Duke.

"Okay so here is your passport, I had to make sure you got a temp one, the guy owes me a few favors at the Post Office so until that happens, the new passport will arrive at your location in England approximately 3 days. " She hugged us goodbye and I headed through the airport with my brother and my good and trustworthy bodyguard.

I smiled at the thought of my life changing, I took time off from WWE and wrestling in general, giving myself some time to breathe and time to do some acting.

"So do you have any idea what this part is?" Dwayne asked me.

"No, she didn't say what or with whom."

"A bit of mystery, I kinda love it."

"Me too, I think this is good for me, to get away from WWE and do some acting in different places."

"I am so excited for you, I know its going to take some time to relax there, but I am going to go help as much as you need me to."

"Thank you for everything."

After making a connecting flight , we headed to London Heathrow airport. I slept the entire way which was what I wanted. After 6 and a half hours, we were scheduled to arrive in about half of an hour and now I was wide awake for my audition for the part here in London.

"You definitely didn't have to come." He looked at me and smiled.

"I have to help you with your lines though."

"Why?" I laughed.

I shook my head and joked about how my brilliant brother is babysitting me.

Mel's POV:

I walked into the bar with Jason, my long time crush and now the most important man in my life. I got a text from our brother Dwayne that LC was in London for a part.

"How is she?"

"Angry and pissed that Duke got the jump on her, but I think she is fine other than that. My brother is with her in London and Luke is with them too. Dany on the other hand is definitely pissed, she is doing damage control."

"Why on earth would someone hit her? Especially with your brother being Dwayne?"

"Well his stupid ass thought he would get away with it?"

"Dumbass." Jason said as we headed back to the house that she has here.

"Well I must get back to the hotel."

"Stay here? I think its stupid , I sure as hell know she would want you here."

"Okay sounds good." We stopped off at the hotel to get his things and headed back to her place for a bit.

"So do you want to take a dip in the hot tub?"

He smiled and winked at me.

"No we are not fucking in the hot tub, I don't want to get pregnant and she would have a fit if she finds a pubic hair in her hot tub."

"Okay fine, we will have to find other places to do it then."

"First , we go on a proper date."

"You were always stubborn."

We laughed as we headed into her house.After tonight, I wasn't going to be the same ever again. That next morning I had woken up with Jason next to me, thankfully we didn't do anything my mother would be ashamed about. I woke up to a text from my brother, whom had gone back to LA after making sure LC was okay. I ended up calling him asap.

"Okay so you made sure she was okay?" I asked him on the phone.

"She is good now. She is stubborn like us, but we are always going to be even more stubborn."

"Just take care of her, make sure no one harms her."

"Luke is here, he will make sure no one touches a hair on her."

After we hung up, I felt better about LC being away from the shithead. She was in London for an audition and now we just wait to see if she gets it or not.  I just wanted her to get the part and have fun while in London... or was she starting her new chapter in her life with someone new?
