"I'll catch you later Jen, I'll just shower later. I'm too exhausted to do it now," Leane laughed as she massaged her sore shoulder before picking up her back, still dressed in her gymnastics uniform. Throwing on a pair of shorts over her leotard, Leane waved goodbye to Jenny, who was just getting into the shower, and headed out the gym door, happy for the cool night breeze hitting her face. Spotting Matt's car, Leane waved as she started walking towards it.

Matthew smiled as he and Ben stepped out of his car, Ben's head tilted to the right out of confusion. "You didn't off my girlfriend did you?" He called out with a smile. "I knew you were jealous but murder seems a bit extreme." Ben teased as Matthew walked up to Leane and put his arms around her waist.

"Oh Benjamin, do you honestly think I'd admit to murder? I will say that you'll never find her body, though," Leane teased with a wink as she leaned into Matt's embrace. "She's in the shower," she added with a wink, "She'll be out soon. I was too exhausted to take one so I'll just take one later after a small nap."

"Fair enough but I have my eye on you." Ben winked over at Leane before leaning on Matt's car to wait.

"How was practice?" Matthew asked as he pecked a kiss on Leane's forehead.

"It was good, but tough. Our competition's next Saturday so we have to work extra hard. I have practice every night next week," Leane said with a frown as she rested her chin upon his chest, "Which means I'll have less time to spend with you, I'm afraid. Unless you stalk my practices," Leane added teasingly as Jenny appeared from the gym and ran over to Ben.

Dropping her bag, Jenny wrapped her arms around Ben's neck and placed a long, tender kiss upon his lips. "Been waiting long?"

"Long enough to accuse me of murdering you," Leane teased with a wink before turning her attention back to Matt.

"Oh honestly," Jenny said with a teasing eye-roll before going back to kissing her boyfriend. After a few more kisses, Jenny rested her forehead against his with a smile, "Hi."

"Hey beautiful." Ben smiled as he leaned forward to return her kisses. "I'm glad to see you're still alive." He teased before shooting Leane a quick wink.

"You shouldn't be so humble Ben." Matthew laughed sarcastically as he led Leane back to his car.

"Come on, I'll give you a ride home," Jenny said after a few more kisses before taking his hands in hers and leading him over to her own car, leaning back against the hood as she tossed her bag back onto the ground. "Now, where were we?"

"So, how's a nap before dinner sound?" Leane said with a laugh as she walked with Matt.

"Right about here." Ben smiled as he lowered his lips to Jenny's neck to nibble lightly at the skin.

"Sounds very relaxing." Matthew assured her with a small smile before hopping into the driver's seat and buckling his seatbelt.

Jenny giggled as she leaned into his kisses, her fingertips burying into his hair as she leaned in and captured his lips in a sweet kiss.

Leaning in, Leane placed a long, tender kiss upon Matt's lips, "I'll meet you at your house then." With one last kiss, Leane slung her bag over her shoulder before heading around the school to her car. Tossing her bag in the back, Leane unlocked her door and began sliding into the seat as she heard her name being called. Turning to look, Leane's eyes grew wide as she saw Kurt leaning against the car beside her.

"Oh bloody hell, Kurt, leave me alone," Leane said icily before sliding into the seat and starting to shut the door behind her. Unfortunately, Kurt was close enough to quickly grab her door and hold it open.

"Kurt, let go."

"Now now, my darling, is that any way to talk to me?" Kurt murmured softly as he leaned into Leane, vodka coating his tongue.

"You've been drinking again, haven't you. You're going to kill yourself," Leane said with an eye roll as she took out her cellphone and texted Kenny to come pick up Kurt so he didn't risk killing others in his maniac state.

Grabbing her cellphone, after the text had luckily been sent, Kurt tossed it into the back of the vehicle before leaning in towards Leane. "Now now, my pet. Who could you be texting? Your boyfriend's right in front of you. I'm all you need," Kurt said thickly as his hand reached out and pulled lightly on her shorts, "It's been awhile since I've seen you in your uniform, Leane. But it looks as revealing on you as ever. I guess the baby bump hasn't started to show yet."

"Kurt, stop it," Leane hissed as she slapped him hard across the face. "Now get away from me!" Kicking him in the stomach, Leane shoved him backwards. Slamming her door shut and locking it, Leane started her car and screeched out of the parking lot.

Kurt only grinned as he leaned back against his car, "I'll have you yet, Leane. Just you wait and see. You won't be able to resist me for long."

Matthew-having not seen Kurt's attack-pulled out of the school parking lot and back to his home to see Leane.

Ben grinned, happily lost in Jenny's kisses as he pulled his girlfriend upwards by her waist to give her long, passionate kisses. "I love you, Jenny." He managed to say with a goofy, school boy grin on his face as he looked down at his beautiful girlfriend in his arms.

"I'm utterly in love with you as well," Jenny said softly, caressing his cheek with her fingertips before bring his lips to hers in a number of kisses. "Want to come over for awhile? My parents have gone out to dinner and are staying at a hotel tonight so they can have some alone time. I've no plans for dinner, so would you like to join me?" Jenny inquired with a warm smile as she rested her forehead against Ben's.

Sighing, Leane slipped out of the car when she reached Matt's place, leaving her bag in the trunk. Opening the back door, Leane climbed into her car and searched for her phone, her body still shaking from her encounter with Kurt. He unnerved her, even more so since she started dating Matt. He'd been drinking and being reckless far more than usual. She couldn't help but blame herself, in a sense.

"Do you even have to ask?" Ben asked as he pulled her close in a hug and giving her forehead a kiss. "I love you, you beautiful girl." He said happily before releasing his hold on Jenny to go over to the passenger's side of Jenny's car.

Matthew smiled happily as he heard Leane pull into the driveway and walked outside to see. "Hey, Lee." He said, still grinning like a fool as if he hadn't seen her only a few minutes ago. Not being able to see her face as she was looking for her cellphone, Matthew didn't notice how shaken he was as he leaned up against the passenger door. "What'd you lose?" He asked curiously.

Smiling, Jenny tossed her bag into the back before sliding into the driver's seat. Starting the car, Jenny placed a tender kiss upon Ben's cheek with a warm smile, "I love you too." With that, Jenny headed out of the parking lot. However, on her way out, she saw Kurt parked by where Leane had been, and Kenny parked in Leane's spot. Eying the way Kenny was talking to Kurt, Jenny rolled her eyes. "Doesn't that boy ever stay sober? Thank God Leane already left.." Jenny said softly as she nodded her head in the direction of Kurt and his car.

--

Leane jumped as Matt spoke behind her. Her heart racing, Leane took deep breaths as she finally found her phone. Shoving it in her pocket, Leane shook her head with a warm smile, "My phone is all. I found it, though. It must have fallen out of my bag earlier." The last thing she wanted to do was tell Matt about her encounter with Kurt, it wasn't worth him getting angry. After all, nothing had happened and Leane had managed to get away from him.

However, the thought of a restraining order didn't sound like such a terrible idea...

"Agreed." Ben said as his eyes narrowed at the sight of Kurt. "But if he wants to start trouble again I have no problem going back into a fight." He said as the car rolled out of the parking lot.

~~~

"Lee?" Matthew asked as he put his arms around her waist. "What happened? Are you okay?" He asked as he looked down, resting their foreheads together.

"You will not," Jenny said firmly, "I refuse to see another rampage like before. It may be warranted, but it's not the proper way to do things. It'll only get you hurt.."

--

Leane laughed as she nodded, "Yes, yes I'm fine. You just scared the living daylights out of me! Why would anything be wrong other than having a startle over you sneaking up on me?"

"And what if Kurt attacks Leane? Or Matt? Or you or Joanna?" Ben asked as he looked over at Jenny. "Would you like us to just sit there and let it happen?" He asked curiously.

~~~

Matthew eyed his girlfriend though he didn't push it further as he smiled and gave her lips a small kiss before leading her towards the door. "A nap then?" He asked.

"N-No.. I.." Jenny sighed as she pulled into her garage. Turning off the car, Jenny looked over at Ben with a small smile, "I don't like seeing you fight. I'm afraid you'll come back to me in a mangled mess. I don't like imagining that."

--

"A nap sounds perfect," Leane said as she placed a tender kiss upon his neck. Following him into the house, Leane headed towards her bedroom. Leaving Matt with a kiss on the lips, Leane headed over to the dresser and pulled out one of her nightgowns. Slipping out of her leotard, shorts, tights, and sports bra, Leane slipped on her nightgown before climbing into her side of the bed.

"I would never come back to you mangled, Jenny." Ben said as he reached over to caress her cheek. "But I would risk getting a few bruises if it meant standing up for you or any of our friends." He said softly.

~~~

Matthew smiled as he walked back to the kitchen and poured himself a glass of lemonade before taking a seat in front of the couch and turning on the sports channel.

Jenny sighed as he placed a tender kiss upon his wrist, "I still don't like this idea."

"Come on, we'll talk more inside while we cook dinner," Jenny said with a warm smile before getting out of the car and grabbing her bag.

--

After about ten minutes, Leane sighed as she gave up trying to nap. Slipping out of the bed, Leane headed into the living room and curled up on the couch beside Matt, her hair still up in a high ponytail from practice. Wrapping her arms around his waist, Leane snuggled close, resting her cheek against his chest.

Ben nodded as he stepped out of the car and held open the door to Jenny's house for her before entering himself. "What do you want to cook for dinner?" He asked her.

~~~

"Not sleeping well?" Matt asked as he put his arms around her before lowering the volume on the television so he could watch the game without disrupting Leane trying to sleep.

"Something I won't burn?" Jenny admitted teasingly with a laugh, "Have you any ideas on what you might like?"

--

"Not at all.. I think it's because I keep thinking of what Kurt did today," Leane said softly, half asleep and not really thinking about what she was saying, too tired to even care at that moment.

"How about some pasta?" Ben asked as he left Jenny's side to look curiously through her kitchen cabinets. "I can make pasta without burning it and maybe I can whip up a tomato sauce." He offered.

~~~

"What Kurt did today?" Matthew asked, his hand tightening painfully around the remote. "What did Kurt do today?" He asked as he failed in his attempt to keep his voice even.

"Sounds good. Do you want to add any meat to it?" Jenny asked as she looked through her fridge, "We have chicken or hamburger."

--

"Hmm? Oh, Kurt. He had Vodka on his breath.. I don't think that boy does anything but drink. He pulled on my shorts, teasing me about my leotard, saying he was my boyfriend and that I shouldn't tell him to get away from me.. That it wasn't nice. I think he was too drunk to realize what he was doing," Leane murmured sleepily, almost incoherently, into Matt's chest as she snuggled closer to him.

"Hamburger will go good." Ben said as he set water on to boil and began to mix together the ingredients of the sauce. "If you want to start cooking the meat I can add the sauce to it." He said over his shoulder.

~~~

"What?!" Matthew roared as he threw the remote to the floor and rose quickly to his feet. "Leane, you cannot let him keep doing this. This is....This-Its crazy. That's what this is!" He yelled angrily before putting on a coat and struggling to get into his shoes as he was half-blinded from his anger.

"Sure," Jenny said with a smile as she got out a pan. Tossing the hamburger into it, Jenny threw the empty package away and grabbed a spatula to break it up.

--

That woke Leane up. Rubbing her eyes, Leane slipped from the couch and wrapped her arms around Matt's waist. "Stop it.. He didn't touch me, I promise, nor did he try anything. He just... He's being reckless and stupid because he's drinking all the time. It's making him delusional misinterpreting wishes for reality," Leane said sleepily as she rested her chin upon his chest, looking up into his eyes.

Taking off his jacket, and hanging it up behind him, Leane continued to speak, "You're being reckless right now. I managed to text Kenny to go pick him up before he threw my phone. I'm sure Kenny already gave him an earful and tried to set him straight. When I managed to get him out of the way of the car door, I was so shaken I just left my phone and drove straight here, not wanting to be there any longer than necessary.

"Please, Matt, don't leave me here alone, okay? Will you not come to bed with me?" Leane asked as she rested her cheek against his chest, holding him tight, her fingertips digging slightly into his back as she pulled him closer to her, as if she were afraid she would lose him if she didn't hold on.
