A/N: Thanks for the reviews and due to an overwhelming response... this will be a real story. I will do chapters about each of them, but I will mainly focus on John's side of the story (Not because I don't like Nikki, but because she can literally do anything now). They are going to be short chapters, and more like just glimpse of moments they are having.
I sighed as I watched the movers taking all her stuff. I don't know why, but a part of me hoped that she would show up to supervise, but she didn't. I watched as they took boxes, things, large pieces of furniture, and various things. I had found a silver lining in all of this... since I was the asshole who had her sign that contract I knew exactly what she was taking back so there wouldn't be any surprises. I knew that I should trust Nikki after all the good and bad we had been through, but I didn't trust anyone. I guess that was the root of the problem, but I had gotten this far doing this, and I wasn't going to change any time soon.
They finally finished a few hours later, and I was glad. I just wanted a new start to my life if she wasn't going to be in it anymore. I had been getting a lot of message, and ignored most of them. A lot of people were either telling me it would be alright or I was the biggest heel in the world... either way I couldn't make myself care about any of them. The only one I responded to was from Brie, because People magazine was saying that she had been saying stuff she hadn't... I wasn't surprised. I had already seen so many people speculate reasons for why we broke up, but they all had the same outcome... I was the jerk.
"John?" a voice called out and I immediately walked towards the front door. I hugged my Dad as soon as I got close enough to him. He was one of the few people in life that I was happy to always made time for. He had always been my biggest supporter and the one person who always told me the truth.
"I wasn't sure if you would be here right now." he said as he motioned to the movers wrapping up their stuff.
"I needed to be... I was also hoping that she would be." I said and he clapped a hand on my shoulder.
"I know you have beers, come on." he said and I chuckled, but nodded in agreement. The movers left as we sat on the back patio and sipped on beers.
"What happened?" he finally asked me and I ran a hand over my face.
"I don't know, but I do know... I always told the truth. I never lied to her, but I guess she either thought she could change me or she convinced herself that she would be alright with me." I said and he nodded.
"Do you regret proposing?" he asked me and I chuckled as I looked up at him. I distinctly remember a conversation we had before I proposed where Dad said that he was happy i was going to do it, but cautioned against doing it at Wrestlemania. I smirked at the memory as I nodded my head yes.
"I will admit that you were right about this one, Dad." I said and he nodded.
"I didn't want to be, John. I just didn't want you to get hurt." he said and I gave a sad smile.
"You will be fine." he said after a few moments of silence.
"I will be. I am never proposing to anyone again, but I will be alright." I said and he sighed.
"Never say never, John... you said that after Liz." he said with a chuckle and I smirked.
"This makes what happened with Liz seem almost normal." I said and he laughed out loud. I knew that most of my family held ill will towards Liz, but at least she kept most things private between me and her.
I spent the rest of the night taking to Dad and it was good to have time with family. I had taken a few weeks off the WWE so maybe family is what I needed right now.
A/N: please review.
