Title: I'm Coming For You
Characters/Pairings: Melina/John Cena (my first time using this pairing); Mickie/Randy; Triple H/Lita; Stephanie/Jericho; Jillian/Mr. Kennedy; Maria/CM Punk, Donovan Anderson (OC).
Rating: Strong PG-13/Strong R
Disclaimer: I only own the OC. The rest? I don't. Sucks for me!
Setting/Classification: Wrestling, AU, Romance, Sexual Content, Violence, Drama, Suspense
Spoilers: Late 2007 through 2008. Lita never left and she broke up with Edge at the Survivor Series PPV. Melina and Johnny Nitro (now John Morrison) also broke up two years prior to her relationship with Cena.
Summary: Melina was supposed to be happy. She was engaged and happily awaiting for her wedding when someone from her past comes back and decides to take back what's his. Terrified and fearful of what he might do, she turns to her friends for help. Will the paparazzi princess even be free from the nightmare?
Author's note: So, it's shocking to see that this is not a Melina/Nathan Morris fic lol. I decided to give them a break even though that pairing is used in my latest fic. Besides, I've been quite enthralled with Melina and John Cena for a long time, especially since I saw a cute picture of them together, so I decided to give it a shot. And please heed the strong T rating.
Enjoy and happy reading!
Lots of love, hugs and kisses from your resident writer and friend, Nina!

"You're a fucking bitch!" he roared as he raised his hand up and slapped her hard across her face. She stumbled back and held her face in her hands. Fresh tears started falling from her eyes as she looked at her boyfriend. She couldn't believe this was happening again. She couldn't believe she had to endure his wrath once again.
She realized that there was no point in trying to salvage the relationship and there was no point in trying to get him some help any longer. He was always angry at her for no apparent reason and no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't soothe his anger and she couldn't help him. She wanted out; but didn't know how to do that.
"You're a fucking whore, Melina Adrienne Perez! You're fuck anyone, anytime, anywhere!" he hissed right in her face. She shrunk back in fear because she knew what's gonna happen next.
"Did you hear what I fucking said?!" he snapped. Not wanting to deal with him anymore, she pushed past him and walked away, which pissed him off even more. He reached over and grabbed her by her long black hair and yanked her back towards him.
"Don't you ever walk away from me, bitch! And don't you ever ignore me! What is it, I'm not man enough for you?!" he roared. To his surprise, she managed to release herself from his strong grip and began standing her ground.
"As a matter of fact, no!" she bit back.
He tried to grab her, but she moved away from him. "Don't touch me, don't do anything to me! I'm sick and tired of being your personal punching bag! I'm sick and tired of you ridiculing me and making me feel worthless! I'm sick and tired of YOU!"
His face darkened when she said those words. "I suggest you lower your tone, Melina. You know what's gonna happen to you when you decide to grow a backbone!"
"You'll what?! You'll hit me?! Slap me around?! Go out and sleep with all the scallywags and then decide to come home and hurt me some more?! Well, I got news for you, asshole, I don't care anymore! I don't care about what you do, who you do it with and why you do it, but I'm sick and tired of being your fucking punching bag! And I'm not gonna lower my tone because I ain't your girlfriend anymore!"
"WHAT. DID. YOU. SAY. TO. ME?!" he roared, his face getting more and more angrier.
"You heard me! I'm not your girlfriend anymore! I never was! You never loved me! You just loved to hurt me! You didn't care; you just did what you wanted to do! You slept around, got another woman pregnant and contracted an STD for it, and then you have the balls to blame my ass?! I don't think so! I want you out of my life, once and for all! Matter of fact, I don't think I ever wanted you in the first fucking place!" she screamed, her veins popping out in anger and frustration.
Something inside of him snapped and he just couldn't control it anymore. As he looked at the paparazzi princess, he balled his hands up into tight fists as he began spiraling out of control. After all this time, after everything he did for her, she's just gonna up and walk away?! She belonged to him and no one else. He was gonna make her see that and if not, she's gonna be one dead bitch!
"I suggest you take back every single word that you said, Melina, before I do something that you're not gonna like," he warned in a low, menacing tone.
But she didn't budge. "I'm not taking anything back! I hate you, Donovan Anderson! I hate you so much!"
That did it. He just completely snapped. He lunged at her and wrapped his hands around her neck. She screamed but she didn't stay down for long. She lifted her leg up and kicked him on the side of his head, knocking him off balance and causing him to release her.
Melina had seconds. She didn't care about her possessions; she can always get them later. Her life came first. Without wasting anymore time, she took off running. However, Donovan, now outrageously pissed, got on his feet and took off right after her. He just about caught up with her when her instincts kicked in and she started throwing things at him, distracting him and causing him to retreat.
"LEAVE ME THE FUCK ALONE!" she screamed at him as she kept throwing things at him.
Donovan couldn't believe it. He was actually being punked by his girlfriend and he didn't like it one bit. Now, he was really angry. When she stopped throwing stuff at him, he saw his chance. He jumped up and ran after her, but she was two feet away from him. However, just when she was about to open the door, he grabbed her by her long black hair and yanked her back towards him.
"I'm gonna have real fun with you, you lying bitch," he snarled right in her face. Tears started falling from her eyes when he started dragging her towards the living room, then throwing her down on the couch harshly. Melina tried to move, but he kicked her right in her face. He reached down and picked up a baseball bat, frightening the young woman.
"This is what happens when you decide to grow a backbone and try to leave me. You belong to me; no one else can have you. If I can't have you, you can't have life!" he snapped. Another scream escaped her lips when he started beating her with the metal object...
Melina tried so hard to forget it, but it was still fresh in her mind. She never thought in a million years that the man she once loved would try to kill her, but he did. He tried to kill her and would've succeeded if the cops hadn't came in and arrested him on the spot. As he was being escorted out, he whispered to her that he will get her, no matter what it takes.
And she's supposed to be happy. She shouldn't be thinking about her ex when she has a wonderful fiancé waiting for her. Despite having to see her ex again in court and got little satisfaction in seeing him get convicted, she was able to move on with her life and was able to get her career back on track as well. Despite being a bitch on screen, she was a total sweetheart behind the scenes and that what makes her job so much more enjoyable.
"Hey, Mel, what's shaking?" Amy Christine Dumas a.k.a. Lita beamed when she walked inside.
Melina looked up and smiled. "What's up, Bella?"
"I'm just getting my bag and I'll be on my way. Hunter's waiting for me," the redhead said with a grin on her face.
Melina rolled her eyes and laughed. "Man, Bella, ever since you finally wised up and broke up with Edge, you've been happier."
"I know. I couldn't believe I wasted so much time on him. Everyone warned me about him, but, stupid me, I didn't listen. I thought he was a good person. Well, I learned the hard way that a leopard can't change its spots," Amy explained, shrugging her shoulders.
"I know what's that like for me. I went through the same thing with my ex," Melina grumbled.
"Speaking of your ex, and I don't wanna upset you by mentioning his name, but have you heard from him lately?" Amy asked.
Melina sighed. She knew it was coming and she also knew that she couldn't avoid it forever. She's gonna have to face facts sometime.
"No, I haven't heard from him and I'm glad. He had hurt me so much and I never wanna have anything to do with him anymore. I'm happily engaged to the man of my dreams," Melina sighed happily.
Amy smiled as she headed towards the door. "I'm happy for you as well."
As the redhead left, Melina looked down at her sparkling diamond engagement ring and beamed with happiness. After her breakup with Johnny Nitro in late 2005, she thought she would never be able to find happiness with someone again. Thank God for John Cena, WWE champion and the most sexiest man she'd ever seen in her life, came in and rescued her six months later. At first, they were friends, but it didn't take them long to realize their feelings for each other . It was like she was given a new lease on life when he got down on one knee and proposed marriage after a year of dating.
She was finally happy. Nothing was gonna take that away from her.
But, as the familiar old saying goes, 'what goes up, must come down'.

Donovan has been out of jail for the last six months and he finds being back out in the world less pleasing. Immediately, he was greeted with cold shoulders, silent treatments and people avoiding him like he was a disease or something. He hadn't felt this humiliated since the night he got arrested. And he has only one person to blame for his troubles.
Furthermore, when he picked up a newspaper at the local newsstand as soon as he got out, he was shocked when he saw Melina's face on the front page. Even more shocking, he noticed a ring on her finger, which means only one thing:
She was engaged. She had moved on with her life. She's getting married.
He was beyond upset. He was beyond irate. He was beyond furious. He couldn't believe she was getting married when clearly he still loves her and wants her back. However, the night he got arrested, the night she told him she hated him and wanted him out of her life once and for all, he felt as though she broke his heart. She injured him. Even after all that, he still wanted her back. Now that he's out of the slammer, he plans on getting her back by any means necessary.
And now that she's engaged, he'll do whatever it takes to take out her precious fiancé, whoever he is.

Melina stood in the mirror and admired herself for a moment. For the first time in a long time, she felt alive, she felt at peace and she felt like herself. When she was with Donovan, he ripped away her self-respect, her pride and her ability to live. He kept her under control, he belittled her every chance he got and he had a habit of accusing her of cheating when he went out, got another woman pregnant and even contracted a sexually transmitted disease. And he felt she was the blame. She was glad to be away from him.
Now, she no longer felt any negativity in her bones. She was finally happy. Looking in the mirror, she knew she looked good in a black sleeveless babydoll dress that accentuated her curves very well. Her fiancé was waiting for her in the bedroom and she just needed to be in his arms again. Tonight proved to be a grueling night for them both.
"Mel, I'm waiting out here," John called out to her.
A smirk formed on her face. She decided to play with him for a bit.
"I'm not ready yet, sweetheart," she singsonged with a giggle.
"Damn, I know women take long to get ready for something, but this is ridiculous," he grumbled.
Realizing that he was impatient, she opened the door and poked her head out.
"Aw, poor baby," she said teasingly before she revealed herself in front of him, making his jaw drop in shock.
"Damn, Mel. You look good enough to eat with that on. However, once I get you naked, you're gonna be my delicious dessert," he growled as he got up from the bed and went over to where she was standing and wrapped his strong arms around her waist. He leaned down and kissed her passionately.
"Um, shouldn't we be taking it to the bed?" she moaned as he started placing kisses along her neck and shoulders.
John smirked, getting his fiancee right where he wants her. He reached down and picked her up, bridal style and carried her over to the bed.
"Are we practicing?" she giggled as he laid her down.
"I don't see the problem. In about five months, you're gonna be my beautiful wife," he chuckled.
However, and little did they know, they're gonna have to endure a test to prove they belong together.
Coming up in the next chapter: Melina and John make love while Donovan plots to get her back. Meanwhile, at an autograph session, she runs into her ex, who makes his intentions clear. Stay tuned!
