Chapter 3

~Flashback~

10 year-old Melody Angeles looked at the sight before them. Both of her parents sat at the dining room table crying. Neither one saying anything to the other. They had both become frustrated with their marriage. The amount of problems that had come between them were no longer fixable. Their twenty-year marriage had hit its toll.

"Mommy." Melody whispered as both of her parents looked at her.

"Melody." Her father said as he rushed over to her, "Why are you awake sweetie?"

"I couldn't sleep. Why are you and mommy crying?" Melody asked.

"Sweetie, your father and I have something that we need to tell you." Her mother said as her father hugged her.

"Your mommy and I are…are getting….we're getting a divorce, Melody." Her father said as his voice cracked.

"Why?" She asked trying to understand what was going on.

"Because things have just been hard for us, sweetie. And your father and I don't love each other the way we used to." Her mother said.

~End Flashback~

"But I don't understand why that makes you not want to see a marriage counselor." Paul said.

"I guess I've just never really found comfort in those marriage therapy because my parents weren't able to fix their relationship." Melody said.

"Melody, just because things didn't exactly work out for your parents doesn't mean that things between you and John can't be sorted out. You two are so perfect for each other. You know each other so well." Stephanie said.

"It's just … seeing my parents going through what they went through it terrified me to even think that I could ever fall in love. It never came easy for John and I. John especially. He had to work so hard to convince me to even want to be in a relationship with him. I always kept the idea that there wasn't love out there. Love didn't exist at all." Melody said.

"Melody, John's different from that. He's not gonna ever stop loving you. You're the only thing he ever speaks about! He loves you so much that he would literally do anything for you. And trust me on this, I know that since your divorce he's been beating himself up for not trying any harder. He's mad at himself that he feels bad for all the things that you guys have gone through." Paul said.

"I know that he's different. I mean we were married for 3 years and dating 8 years before that. It's just I can't help but feel like you know I wasn't the right girl for, John. Maybe he wanted someone else. Or maybe there is someone out there better for him. Like Nikki. She can give him everything that he's ever wanted." Melody said.

"I just think that you should give him more credit, sweetie. He's trying now and I think you should just give him another chance. I don't like seeing you like this, Mel. You're like a little sister to me and all I want is to see you happy. And you were definitely really happy with him." Paul said patting her shoulder.

"Melody, I want you to take the next two weeks off. You need to take care of your life and figure out what you want to happen. I want you to reevaluate everything." Stephanie said.

"But I've already gotten everything figured out. I can't push aside my job because of this. I love my job and you guys know that I could never be apart from it." Melody sated.

"We're not suggesting you do it rather we're stating that you need to do this. This would be good for you." Paul advised.

"Fine as much as I dislike this decision I'll go home." Melody muttered as she got up from her seat and walked out of catering.

Meanwhile John and Randy had been working out in the ring preparing for their upcoming match together. John looked at his best friend before he analyzed the situation that he was in. He just couldn't believe that Melody wasn't exactly willing to fight for their relationship. He had wanted to fight for their relationship in the beginning.

"What's on your mind, dude?" Randy questioned noticing the look on John's face.

"I just don't know what to do, man. She didn't even want to speak to me. It's been how many months since our divorce." He explained.

"Look you can't expect her to heal the same way you did. Plus you did jump into another relationship rather quickly." Randy commented.

He was in a relationship with Nicole Garcia-Colace otherwise known as Nikki Bella to the wrestling world. He couldn't exactly do anything about it. Melody simply didn't want anything to do with him yet he still yearned for that friendship with her. She meant so much to him. She had been there for him through everything. And he heavily relied on her for everything.

"Maybe I just need to think about everything especially my relationship with Nicole. I need to know if that's exactly the relationship I want." John commented.

"Well how are things between you and Nicole?" Randy questioned.

"I really don't know. She wants everything that comes with being in a relationship and I can also say she sees us being married in the future." John explained.

"Well where do you stand with the idea of marriage?" Randy asked throwing a fake punch towards John.

"To be honest, I don't know if I could even think about marriage. What I went through with Melody makes me realize that maybe marriage isn't for me." John said.

"Or that you can't see yourself being married to someone else other than Melody?" Randy questioned as John nodded his head, "And have you told Nicole about this?"

"I've tried. It's just been really hard. I feel like that's really what she wants and she feels I'm the one for her. But I know I'm not." He replied locking Randy in a headlock.

"Maybe you should take a break and figure things out? I know that you and I share a love for wrestling and that we hate being away but this could be good for you." Randy replied getting out of the headlock.

"I don't know…" John began to say.

"No you should just take a break. Figure things out." Randy said.

"I guess you're right. A couple weeks off wouldn't hurt." John said.
