Chapter 8: Telling Amber

April 23rd, the next year.

John's POV

I wake up and I look next to me and there she is, my beautiful. We have been together for a year now. I just lay there watching her sleep. She looks so peaceful. When she woke up I said "Happy 21st Birthday Baby" and gave her a kiss.

She smiled and said "Happy Birthday to you too Johnny" then she got up and got dressed. Today she wore my old 'kick ass, take names' shirt and all her wrestling bracelets and necklaces. Today she had a plan. But so do I and she don't know about it.

"OK Johnny, I can't believe that we have been dating for a year and I haven't told Amber, she is my best friend. I hope she doesn't get too mad" she panicked, you could tell she was mad at herself.

"How can anybody get mad at you Baby? So how are we doing this?" I asked to make sure.

"OK since the show is in Ft. Wayne tonight. I am taking Amber to the show. Now she don't know that we are dating or that Dave is my dad, or the stuff that happened with my mom, she doesn't know anything from the past year. But we will be around back with the fans. You come back and sign autographs. I guarantee you that she will ask you if you're taken, you tell her something like 'ya, for the past year' and later. Instead of going through the front, we will go through the back and I explain everything to her then" Donna explained, in a hurry.

"OK, so we leave separate today?" I asked

"Ya, I actually have to leave now. See ya later Johnny, love ya" she said and gave me a kiss.

"Love ya too baby" I said, then she smiled as she shut the hotel door. I can't wait till tonight.

Donna's POV

So I get to Amber's and we give each other a huge hug.

"Donna, it's been way too long. You look great" she said. She hadn't seen me since I lost all the weight.

"Thank you. So do you" she always looked good though.

"And Happy 21st, you're legal now" she smiled

"Oh don't I know it. I wanna go out tonight, you gonna come?" I asked, I was hoping she would cause we never got drunk together, she wasn't able to go to the party that Rob and I had.

"Of course, I wouldn't miss it. Now why are YOU taking ME to a show on YOUR birthday?" she asked

"I never miss a show when they come to town and you've never been to one. So let's go, so we can get autographs" I said and we left to go to the coliseum. We had gotten quite a few autographs. Each one that we did get, of course, knew me and looked at me with one of those 'what are you doing?' looks. And I would just say "This is her first show" and point at Amber while giving them, one of those 'I'll explain later' looks. Then John comes out to sign autographs. He gets to us and like I told him…

"So is Mr. John Cena taken?" Amber asked

"Sorry honey, yes I am. I've been in a great relationship for the past year. Today is our one year anniversary" he answered

"Happy Anniversary" I told him, he just smiled.

"Thank you" he said

"Well she must be really special" Amber stated

"Oh yes she is. Actually, I am hoping to have her as my fiancée by the end of the night" he said and smiled at Amber, then moved on to signing more. Oh my god, that's so mean. Why did he say that right here, right now. I can't show any emotion about it. So I tried not to cry from happiness.

"Wow, that girl must be really lucky" Amber said as John walked back up to the building, looking back at me and smiling.

"Ya, she is" I said getting choked up. It's really hard not to cry in that situation.

"Are you OK Donna?" Amber asked, a little worried.

"Ya, I'm fine. I'm terrific. I'm fantastic" I said, getting a hold of myself.

"OK, cause it looked like you were gonna cry"

"Nope, I'm fine. You wanna go inside?" I asked after the rest of the fans left, otherwise they would have followed me, cause they didn't know who I was.

"Sure" she said and we walked around the barricade and started walking up to the back door.

"Amber, there's something I haven't told you"

"Aren't we supposed to go through the front?" she asked as we walked up to the door.

"Hey Jimmy" I said to the guard

"Hey Donna" he said as he let us in. "Amber, Earl isn't my real dad"

"What?! So who is?" she asked as we stopped in front of Dave's door. She looked at the name that I pointed to and she gasped. I opened the door.

"Hey dad" I gave him a hug.

"Hey honey" he hugged me back. "And this must be Amber. Donna's told me a lot about you" Dad said and shook her hand.

"Ya" she said, then looked at me "When did you find this out?"

"Girl you wouldn't believe the year I had" I said, hoping she wouldn't get mad.

"For a year?!" then she thought for a minute "Well I guess I can't blame you, cause I never called either"

"I just don't want you to be mad at me" I said to Amber

"No, I'm not"

"OK good. There's something else I want to tell you but first. Amber, tell dad what John just said to you out there"

"Oh, he said that he's had a great girlfriend for the past year and hopes to have her as a fiancée by the end of the night. I wonder who she is" she said. Dad got the hint that she didn't know yet.

"Ya, did he ask you?" I asked him

"Of course. He got it okayed with everyone, except her mom of course. About a month after they started dating" dad answered. Now I'm about to cry.

"Wow, he must really love this chick" Amber said

"Ya" I said then I couldn't hold it back anymore, I was so happy, I started to cry. I heard dad call John and tell him to just come do it now.

Amber's POV

"Do what? Donna what's going on?" I asked. Then I saw John Cena walk in. As he did he got down on one knee in front of Donna.

"Baby, you know I love you. I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I have ever since I laid eyes on you. Will you make me the happiest man in the world and be my wife?" he asked her. Oh my god. Donna's the lucky girl.

"Of course I will Johnny. I love you" then they kissed and he put the ring on her.

"Amber, I'm engaged to John Cena" she said and showed me the ring. It was beautiful. "I didn't expect this Amber. I was just gonna tell you that I was dating him. He sprung this on me. That's why I was getting choked up out there" she explained, wiping her tears.

So I hugged her "I'm happy for you Donna. But what did Dave mean that your mom would never OK it?" I wondered why not. Then she explained to me what happened. I didn't know her mom could be that cruel.

After the show, we went out and got caught up… and trashed. Well Donna and I did anyways. Cause I remember John and Dave carrying Donna and I back to a hotel room. That was great fun.
