When you first joined the WWE, you swore that you wouldn't date your fellow wrestlers off camera; that was until you met John Cena. Compared to all of the men that you met, John was the funniest, sweetest, and most considerate. The only problem was that you were already dating someone, and the man was a complete and utter disgrace for a human being.

Tyler would always go out at night and not tell you where he was going, and sometimes not even tell you that he was going out at all. You didn't have a choice but to live with him 'cause none of your friends had room for you to stay with them (at least that's what they claimed) so you were struck with the cheater whom you hardly ever saw anyway. You and Tyler had frequent fights about his all-nighters and he would sometimes hit you when he got mad enough.

You were talking to John one day after Raw and he noticed a red mark on your cheek and said, "What's that mark on your cheek, Tammy?" You'd forgotten to put make-up over it and you just put your hand over it and walked off. You were on the phone with Tyler shortly after the episode with John and you started crying because Tyler said that he never loved you and the only reason he was with you was 'cause you were the money maker in the relationship and that he'd found someone who could bring him even more money than you could.

You fell to your knees and cried after he hung up on you. "How could I not see it? I always knew that he was a heartless asshole but this just takes the cake." you moaned as you crossed your arms over your chest.

You heard footsteps from behind and when you looked up you saw John kneeling down in front of you with a look of great concern on his face. "Tammy, what's wrong? Why are you crying?" he asked as he started wiping up your tears with his finger tips.

"T-Tyler just told me that he never loved me and that h-he only dated me 'c-cause I was the money maker in the relationship. Now he's found someone else and he didn't even seem to care about how it made me feel. I should've know that this would happen. God, I'm so stupid!" you yelled as John took you in his arms and let you cry into his shirt.

"Was Tyler the one who hit you?" John asked quietly.

"Y-yes. We were fighting about his all-nighters and he finally snapped and slapped me across the face." you whispered as you wrapped your arms around John's waist, not wanting to let go.

"I'm so sorry, Tammy. A beautiful, smart, kind, and caring woman like you doesn't deserve a life like that. You need someone who appreciates and truly loves you."

You huffed and said, "Yeah, and where would I be able to find someone like that?"

John took your face in his hands and pulled away slightly and tilted your chin up so that you had direct eye contact with him. "Tamika Turner, I've been in love with you since the day I met you. I always knew that Tyler wasn't good for you, but I also knew that you liked him so that's why I didn't say anything before. But now that this has happened, I finally have a chance to tell you how I truly feel about you. You don't have to answer now, but I just want to ask before I chicken out or before someone else asks you before I've had the chance; will you be my girlfriend?" John asked while staring into your dazzling green eyes.

You hugged John tightly and whispered, "Yes. I wanted to be with you since I met you, but I just didn't know how to get out of my relationship with Tyler. Now that I have, I finally have the opportunity to start over; and I want to start over with you."

You could tell that John was shocked by this because it took him awhile to respond, but when did, he sounded ecstatic. "Come live with me. I know that sounds forward, but we don't have to sleep in the same bed until you're ready. Just anything to get you away from Tyler."

You smiled widely as you said, "I've been waiting months for someone to take me in. Just being away from Tyler is all that I care about."

Out of nowhere, John pulled you into a passionate kiss. You were shocked for maybe a millisecond but you got over it and kissed him back with as much passion as you could muster. When you pulled away for air, you placed your forehead against John's and whispered, "Thank you, John. I owe you big time."

John kissed your forehead and said, "You don't owe me anything, baby. Your safety and love is all that I ask for."

"You got it." you muttered before laughing softly. You and John only lived together for a week before y'all started sleeping in the same room which didn't even feel awkward like you thought it would. You figured it was 'cause you and John had so much chemistry that you just didn't feel the normal awkwardness of a new relationship, and you soaked in every minute of the time that you and John were together, not wanting it to ever end.
