Jon was drenched from the rain outside. He swallowed a lump in his throat and Rylan saw that his strawberry blonde hair was brown when wet, and he was wearing a white tank top, his leather jacket, his blue jeans and his cowboy boots. She bit on her bottom lip and she softly said "Hi"
For the first time since she's been back, Jon gave her a smile. It wasn't big nor was it small, it was the one smile she so desperately needed to see as he softly said "Hi"
Then Rylan opened the door all the way for Jon to enter. Bobby leaned out from the bed and he saw Jon enter the room. Rylan closed the door and she went over to Jon to take off his jacket for him. She went to a chair and she hung it over the chair so it could dry. Bobby said "Do you two need me to leave?"
"No stay in the hotel" Rylan said as she went to her brother and sat down next to him. "Please Bobby?"
Then, Rylan pulled the classic puppy dog face. Bobby groaned and he said "God damn it, Rylan!"
"So you'll stay?" Rylan asked with joy as she smiled at her big brother. "Yeah I'm staying" Bobby said as he stood up and went to the door. He leaned into Jon and he said "Go easy on her"
Then, Bobby went to the door and he and Rylan said their 'I love you's and their goodbyes. Then, Rylan closed the door and she went into the bathroom and she grabbed a towel. She handed it to Jon and she said "Here. Hopefully this will help dry you up"
Jon took it and he said "Thanks"
Then, Rylan sat down in her bed as Jon sat down on the couch. He looked at Rylan and he said "Rylan, you know that I love you right?"
Rylan looked at Jon and she nodded her head 'yes'. "And I love you Jon"
Jon sighed and he said "But I still think you should've stayed away"
Rylan groaned and after that she laughed and said "Here we go again"
"No I'm serious" Jon said. "I know what's been happening with the others. And I know what happened today"
"Well if you knew what was going on and if you knew what happened earlier, why didn't you stop it? Why weren't you the one protecting me?"
Jon was silent. The truth of the matter was that Jon knew he had to protect Rylan from what's happening. It was just under the circumstance of what he had to watch that night of WrestleMania 29 that he lost all hope and capability of protecting her. Then, he brought himself to tell her why he didn't stop the hate;
"Because I feel like I've lost any and all capability of protecting you"
Rylan stood up straight and she looked at Jon as his walls started to break. The tough man she met down at the \ developmental program was no more. All she saw was a man who is broken. "Rylan I love you, and after WrestleMania 29, after seeing what those monsters did to you, and not being able to protect you. It killed me. I hated myself for not being able to fight them off-"
"Jon they numbed your body" Rylan said. Only reason why she even knew this was because she watched 1 of the 5 men stick a needle in Jon's arm, numbing his entire body. "You couldn't stop it even if you tried fighting off the numbness"
"I just feel less of a man knowing that I let those guys hurt you" he said coldly. Rylan stood up from her bed and she went to the couch and sat next to him. She then took his hands into her own and said "Jon, you can still protect me"
Jon looked at her confused and he said "How?"
Rylan looked deep into his blue eyes and said "By being by my side"
Jon smirked and he said "Speaking of being by your side, the reason why I came here was to ask you a question"
"What is it?" Rylan asked. Then, her heart stopped and her body was in fluttery happiness as Jon asked her "How do you feel about marriage?"
Rylan was speechless. Marriage? He never asked her about it before. This was so sudden for her. Then, she said "Marriage is a huge commitment for both of us. I mean how long have we even been together?"
"Since we met in April of 2011" Jon said, smiling at the memory of how they met.
They both walked into the arena of the developmental program, both carrying duffle bags filled with their ring gear and normal clothes. Rylan had her then medium length hair in two braids and she wore a black tank top with grey spandex and her wrestling boots while Jon had his shaggy strawberry blonde hair down and he was wearing black basketball shorts and his black wrestling boots. They looked around and then they locked eyes with each other. It was practically love at first sight. Then, within that month of knowing each other Jon approached Rylan one day. "Rylan can I talk to you?" he asked her. Rylan turned and she said "Sure" with the brightest of smiles. Jon's stomach fluttered at the very sight of the auburn haired beauty. Then he pulled her to the side and he said "So I know that we haven't known each other for awhile, hell we've only known each other for like a whole month. But, y'know I feel like we've gotten close throughout this month and,"
As he was saying this he was tripping on every other word and acting so nervously and Rylan found this cute. So, to shut him up, she kissed him right on the lips softly. Jon kissed back not wanting to release her. Then, they both pulled away and Rylan said with a smile "I would love to go out with you, Jon"
"That was the first time I actually had been nervous over a girl" Jon said with a chuckle. Rylan smiled and she said "You still are, even though you have grown rather stubborn to admit it"
Then, Jon looked at her and he realized just how much she meant to him, how much she loved him, and he realized how much he needed her and how much he loved her. So he stood up and he went over to Rylan and he sat down next to her and he took her hand into his own. "Rylan, I love you and I will always love you. No matter what happens, I'm always going to be here for you. In life and in death. So, there's just one thing I got to know"
"What is it Jon?" Rylan asked nervously. Then Jon got down on one knee and he pulled out a small ring box. He then opened it to reveal a 13 karat princess cut diamond engagement ring. Rylan covered her mouth with her hands and then Jon took Rylan's left hand into his and he asked her "Rylan will you marry me?"
She felt herself crying tears of happiness and joy. Then, she gave Jon her answer;
"Yes"
YAY! They patched things up! But will that stop The Authority from getting to her? Leave reviews and stay tuned for more :)
