Candice stared at Chris in shock as he continued standing up the door. She couldn't believe that after all these years he was right there, it felt like a dream come true. Now the man she loved since she was fifteen years old was going to be her on-screen boyfriend.
"Jericho this is Candice." Vince said.
"Why do I get stuck with all these divas? I'm Chris Jericho I should be fighting for titles not be forced into a stupid storyline with some diva." Chris said.
Candice felt her heart rip in two as she listened to what Chris said. This wasn't the attitude she thought she would get if Chris and her ever saw each other again.
"Some diva?" Candice asked with hurt in her voice.
"Yeah you are just some slutty little thing that got into the WWE because she could dance around a pole." Chris said.
Candice felt tears in her eyes as she listened to what Chris said, why would he say such things to her. Did he even remember who she was? What they shared before he left? Or was it just a distant memory that could never resurface again?
"What, what's her name? Oh well doesn't matter anyways, how long is this stupid thing going to last?" Chris asked.
"Five months." Vince said.
"Five months! What the hell is wrong with the stupid creative team?!" Chris yelled as he stormed out of the office.
"Candice I'm sorry about what he said." Vince said.
"No…it's okay." Candice lied as she wiped away some tears then left the office.
Candice ran down the hallway desperately wanting to get back to her locker room, feeling like she was going to breakdown and cry any second. As she ran she wasn't paying attention and accidentally ran into someone. Candice fell to the floor and looked up through her teary eyes to see Chris and she wished she didn't run into him.
"God are you so dumb that you can't watch where you're going?" Chris asked.
Candice whimpered as she looked down to the floor. She wished she could run away right now but her body felt numb after all the emotional pain she went through just a couple minutes ago.
"Well obviously you are since you can't say a word either, like I'm sorry I bumped into you. I'm so unworthy to even touch somebody of your excellence." Chris said.
Candice looked up at Chris, this wasn't the Chris she remembered before. This wasn't the Chris she fell in love with. How could someone so caring and so much fun to be with before could be this horrible man that was standing right in front of her right now.
"You know what you are wasting my time." Chris said and started walking down the hallway.
Candice looked at Chris as more tears rolled down her cheeks.
"How could you!" Candice yelled.
Chris turned around and glared at Candice.
"How could I what?" Chris asked as he crossed his arms.
"How could you forget me?" Candice asked as she finally stood up off the floor.
"I haven't. I met you a couple minutes ago and I haven't forgotten you, I'm not as stupid as you are." Chris said.
"You didn't just meet me Chris." Candice said as she walked towards him.
"Uh yes I did." Chris said.
"No you didn't, I'm Candice Michelle Beckman. Don't you remember that name?" Candice asked.
Chris paused for a minute and turned away.
"No." Chris said.
Candice looked at Chris as he started walking away then ran up to him and turned him around to face her.
"Yes you do." Candice said.
"No I don't now leave me alone." Chris said and walked down the hallway again.
"Christopher Keith Irvine don't you dare walk away from me!" Candice yelled.
Chris stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at Candice.
"What do you want?" Chris asked.
"Do you remember me? Because I remember you and before you weren't anything like the way you are now." Candice said.
"Well maybe you should start forgetting the past." Chris said.
"I don't want to because everything we shared was special Chris, why would I want to forget it?" Candice asked.
"Because I don't love you anymore." Chris lied.
"What?" Candice asked not realizing Chris just lied to her.
"I don't…love you anymore." Chris said as he turned away and walked away.
"No, Chris please don't say that!" Candice yelled as she went after to him.
"Candice leave me alone, the only time we'll ever be near each other is on-screen." Chris said.
"Chris." Candice said with a whimper.
"Candice I have to go." Chris said with hurt in his eyes before he walked away.
Candice looked down at the floor as she wiped away her tears then felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around then saw a brunette haired person standing in front of her.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, just heartbroken that's all." Candice said.
"I'm Mickie James, you must be Candice." Mickie said.
"Yeah I'm Candice." Candice said with a small smile.
"Why are you heartbroken?" Mickie asked.
"I…just found out the guy I really loved doesn't love me anymore." Candice said.
"I'm so sorry, thank god I have a boyfriend I know will never stop loving me." Mickie said.
"Who's your boyfriend?" Candice asked.
"Chris Jericho." Mickie said.
Candice's heart dropped and she tried to hold the tears that were hiding behind her dark brown eyes back.
"I'm happy for you." Candice lied with a small smile.
"Thanks, don't worry there's a lot of single men in this business you will find someone to love." Mickie said.
"Yeah thanks, I'm going to go back to my locker room now." Candice said then quickly walked away.
Candice slammed the door shut as she walked into her locker room and let the tears fall from her eyes. She grabbed the picture from her bag and looked at it then watched as her own tears fell on glass covering the picture. It a moment of rage she threw the picture of her and Chris towards the wall. Candice watched as the glass shattered and fell to the floor then grabbed the picture underneath the glass.
"Why can't I let you go?" Candice asked herself as she looked at Chris in the picture.
She held the picture close to her then fell to the floor in tears.
