It's not like she's actually a real bitch 'outside the ropes'. Sure, she's had her share of conflict with the other Divas, but overall she was a friend to them when the cameras stopped rolling. A few weeks into her 'affair' with The Miz, a few of the other Divas on the roster couldn't help but notice. Of course, none of them wanted to be first in line to warn Maryse about The Miz and what he did. Some wanted to tell her, and some wanted to watch her finally get burned. But that didn't stop them from talking about Maryse's situation behind her back. If Maryse is so much better than everybody else, why is she going so low as to even consider The Miz? A lot of the Divas had been involved with The Miz, and all had gotten hurt. Why would they be jealous of Maryse? What made her so invincible?

A few days just before she had gotten into it with John Morrison, Maryse had overheard Kelly, Brie and Nikki Bella talking backstage near the make-up table on her way to the woman's locker room.
"I've been there, done that with The Miz. It wasn't pretty." Kelly claimed.
"Do you think we should tell her?" Brie looked between Kelly and her sister, while Nikki shook her head.
"Hell no," Nikki quipped. "Let her find out for herself. Everybody has to get hurt sometime, right?" As Kelly and Brie nodded in agreement with the self-proclaimed 'mischievous twin', Maryse shook her head and walked into the woman's locker room. Everybody has to get hurt sometime. Those had been ringing through her ears for the next two hours as she thought about what she was going to do. It was then that it suddenly struck her that she had John Morrison's number. That was how she had gotten involved with John Morrison and it ended as quickly as it sprung upon them both, much to John's dismay.

Though it was obvious to everybody in the locker room that getting involved with John Morrison while you were involved with The Miz would no doubt make one jealous of the other, it seemed very…logical – well it was to Maryse, anyway. But her situation with John Morrison ended so fast that some of the other wrestlers on the Raw roster were a little taken aback. John Morrison was known for long-term relationships, with Melina for example. Then it suddenly clicked…Melina Perez, one of the females Maryse has dealt with in the ring as they swapped brands in the Draft. It all seemed to make sense if you really thought about it. So why was Maryse suddenly hot-and-cold with John? Although the two Divas never really had a face-to-face confrontation, it didn't take that long to come to terms with the fact that Melina had accused Maryse of taking her 'sloppy seconds'. Maryse? Sloppy seconds? Get real, bitches.

This so-called 'confrontation' left a sour taste in the mouths of many of the friends at all ends of the rainbow. This whole situation was a complete waste of time on every level and they should all just drop it immediately, but Maryse wasn't going to let this slide as easily as everybody hoped she would. It was clear The Miz still wanted her and it was clear that Melina still wanted John Morrison, who in return…wanted Maryse. Everything came back to Maryse and with her being the puppet-master and controlling these poor souls like her puppets, nothing could go wrong in her scheme…or could it?

So…maybe Maryse was heartless. That was one presumption, but she preferred to call it 'independent'…but since when was that a bad thing? Weren't women supposed to be independent? She was Divas Champion; she didn't need a man to make other girls jealous. Hell, she didn't even have to try to make other Divas jealous; it just came naturally with her. However, Maryse never knew that being independent could make you feel…horrible. Wait…what? What was happening here? Was she actually giving two shits about people other than herself? She didn't really feel all that bad about Melina, though. Melina was just a selfish ex-girlfriend who had fallen into Maryse's trap like a fly on a spider web and now, it was time for her to get burned as well. Call it vindictive or call it genius…but that's up to you to decide, now isn't it?

ooc;
Sorry it took so long to get finished! I've been busy with last-minute preparations for school and stuff. And yeah...there's a hint at Melina being the villian, get over it. =P Of all the fanfics I've read, Michelle McCool is ALWAYS...ALWAYS the villian while Melina just slides on by. I HAD to be different. xD I also just want to thank EVERY SINGLE PERSON who favorited me, my story and reviewed it! It means a lot!
