Darla swallowed hard as she looked at Glen and Taker back and forth.She knew what she had to do but she wasn’t sure if she could.Thoughts ran through her head and before she even knew what she was doing words were spilling from her mouth as she slowly walked closer to them.

"I’m so,so tired.I’m tired of being beaten for no reason,I’m tired of being belittled and treated like I’m nothing" Darla said,tears filling her eyes.

The tears ran down her face as she looked up at Taker in fear.

"I could never go back with you" Darla whispered.

Taker’s face contorted in fury as Glen breathed a sigh of relief.

"You don’t know what you’re saying,you’ll come back to me.You’ll find out what kind of guy he is soon enough and then you’ll come crawling back to me" Taker growled.

"It’s your own fault I left to begin with" Darla said,still talking almost automatically.

She didn’t know what gave her the courage to say the things she was saying but she was glad for whatever it was.Taker could see that Darla wasn’t changing her mind and he could feel the anger building up inside of him.He lunged at Darla before Glen could stop him and managed grab her by her hair before Glen pulled him off her.

Glen and Taker fought their way into the hallway,attracting the attention of several other wrestlers who were staying at the hotel.Glen and Taker were seperated by several wrestlers.Taker left and Glen went back to his hotelroom.Glen found Darla in the bathroom,throwing up in the toilet.

Glen kneeled down behind Darla and hesitantly stuck his arm out to her.When he noticed she wasn’t pulling away from him he stroked her hair gently.Darla calmed down after a while and turned to Glen.Her face was pale,her hair was a mess and there were tearstains on her face.

"Hey,do you wanna get some sleep?" Glen asked.

Glen saw Darla flinch away from him as he said this and he frowned.Then it suddenly dawned on him.

"You do know that what he said was a lie,don’t you?" Glen asked.

Doubt flickered in Darla’s eyes before she broke into a smile and said:

"Of course,I don’t believe him"

Glen nodded,she was damaged,badly damaged,he couldn’t expect her to just trust him without knowing him.Glen helped Darla get back to the bedroom and she sat down on the bed.Darla absently rubbed the spot where Taker had grabbed her hair.

"I’m sorry I’m bothering you with all this" Darla said after a while.

"You’re not bothering me,I’m glad I can help" Glen said.

Darla laid herself to rest shortly after.Darla woke up in the middle of the night with a strange feeling in her heart,a feeling she knew had alot to do with the big man sleeping in the chair on the other side of the room.

Darla looked over at Glen and saw that he was indeed asleep.She had seen something in his eyes when he had looked at her earlier,something she had never seen in Taker’s eyes.It wasn’t love,after all they had only just met,it was affection.It filled Darla with a small amount of hope to know that he cared about her,but did he really care?.Was Taker telling the truth?.

Darla thought about it as she continued to watch the large man sleep.Glen was a very strong man but unlike Taker,he wasn’t dominating.He didn’t seem to want to intimidate anybody while Taker lived for it.He had a low but gentle voice while Taker’s voice was commanding and it scared the hell out of her.

Darla didn’t know why but she felt comfortable around him and it wasn’t fair to push him away after everything he had done for her.The only doubt in Darla’s mind was the fact that Taker had been sweet and caring at first as well,he had tricked her into loving him and before she knew it she was stuck.

Darla quietly stepped from the bed and walked to Glen,she grabbed the blanket that had previously been covering her from the floor and covered him with it.Glen stirred in his sleep and murmured something.Darla smiled and stepped back to the bed.Maybe there was hope after all…maybe.
