Chapter 10: Sudden Realization

After the houseshow a bunch of superstars and divas decided to go out for some drinks at a local bar. Maria was still not feeling up to partying, but she went anyway. This was what she needed, just some time with friends. Randy and Maria arrived before everyone else did and they had a couple of minutes to themselves.

"Look here, don't try anything stupid and if anyone notices that black and blue on your arm, just say you fell." (R)

Maria had no choice but to agree she knew if she didn't she would face serious consequences and that's something she didn't want. In fact, she didn't even know why she was with Randy sometimes. He had so much disrespect for her and treated her like a dog, like if he never even wanted her. She had no idea what she saw in him when they first started dating, all along it was just all an act to have her, but still she made the decision to remain with him.

Eventually more people arrived and started having a good time. Maria chatted with some of the divas at a table, while some of the other superstars and Randy were chatting by the bar. When Maria was talking to the divas, John walked in. She couldn't help but notice that he was looking awfully cute cute. He started walking towards her and she began to blush, when she turned to talk to the divas, she noticed they left her there alone and went to dance.

"Hey. Mind if I sit here?" (J)

"Ummm...no, you can sit." Maria said as she bit her lip

"So where's Randy?" John said in a disgusted tone

Maria took a sip of her martini and pointed towards Randy's direction. John followed her finger and saw Randy flirting with some random chicks, then he turned to Maria who wasn't even paying any attention to Randy. Typical...John thought to himself.

"So he left you alone?" (R)

"Actually no, I decided to come and sit by Candice, Ashley, Mickie and Kelly but they all left me here to dance. Bummer right?" (M)

"I guess you can say that." said John as he chuckled. "But if you would like to dance, I'd be happy to dance with you." (J)

Maria looked up from her glass to look at John. Randy would never offer to dance with her and she was so shocked that John would.

"Really?" (M)

"Yea, but be warned I'm a horrible dancer." (J)

"No problem." said Maria as she giggled

"Shall we?" said John as he stood up and reached for Maria's hand

"Yes, we shall." said Maria as she took John's hand and blushed.

John led Maria to the floor and they both started dancing to Rihanna's "Please Don't Stop The Music" and David Guetta's "Love is Gone" which were Maria's two favorite songs. John didn't mind dancing with Maria, his girlfriend, not Randy's. Just seeing her happy and smiling again made John happy as well. Suddenly a slow song went on and it was Beyonce's "Dangerously in Love". Maria wrapped her arms around John's neck and John put his arms around her waist, she felt comfortable in his arms and in her mind it was just her and John on the dance floor. The lyrics were exactly the way Maria and John felt about each other and they moved in closer to each other.

I am in love with you

You set me free

I can't do this thing, called life without you here with me

Cause I'm dangerously in love with you

I'll never leave

Just keep loving me the way I love you loving me

Suddenly Maria and John's lips crashed onto one another's. The kiss was so passionate and it was what they both wanted. They didn't care who was around watching, they got caught up in the moment and felt so good to be kissing each other. Maria regretfully broke the kiss and began to run away to the bathroom.

"I'm so sorry John. I can't...that shouldn't have happened. I've gotta go." (M)

John was thinking to himself that he was an idiot for letting that happen, he totally forgot that Maria thought she was with Randy. He decided to leave the club and go back to the hotel, he didn't want Maria to feel uncomfortable while he was there.

-xxxxxxxxxxxx-

Randy saw all this occur and started following Maria.

"Maria!" (R)

Maria stopped dead in her tracks and turned to face Randy.

"Randy, please I am so sorry, I didn't mean for that to happen...it's just..." (M)

"It's ok. I just thought I'd check on you to see how you were doing after what I heard John say to some of the guys." said Randy while he was lying

"What? What did he say?" (M)

"Oh, well he said that the kiss meant nothing to him and that he just did that to get you into bed with him. I can't believe he said that, but that's what he said. I would never do anything like that to you." said Randy with a smirk on his face

"Ummm..yea." Maria said as tears began welling up in her eyes "I'm just gonna go to the bathroom." (M)

Maria ran to the bathroom, she couldn't believe John would say or do such a thing like that. Little did she know that this was all just Randy's plan to sepearte them as much as possible, as a matter of fact, that just took him about 5 minutes to make up because he knew Maria would believe anything he said.

Maria walked into what she thought was an empty bathroom. She began crying her eyes out at what Randy just told her. She suddenly heard someone coming towards her and saw that it was Mickie.

"Honey, what's wrong?" (MJ)

"It's nothing." (M)

"It's obviously not nothing if you come in here crying your eyes out." (MJ)

"Well it's just that John and I just kissed out there on the dance floor, and not just any kiss, I mean like a full out passionate one. I stopped because I thought about Randy and what he would say and I left him. Then I ran into Randy and he told me that John said he just did that to get me into bed with him and that the kiss meant nothing to him." (M)

Mickie couldn't believe that her best friend would actually believe the things that came out of Randy's mouth, she knew John was too in love with Maria and he would never say that to her.

"I don't think he said that sweetie. Maybe Randy is just making it up..." (MJ)

"Mickie! He's obviously not, he heard John say it to everyone else. I can't believe Randy! I am so out of here." Maria got up and stormed off to go back with Randy.

What the hell just happened, Mickie thought to herself.

She took out her cell phone and texted John.

We need to talk! - 4xchampMickie

About? - JohnFelixAnthonyCena

Just come by my room and I'll tell you, I'm leaving the club now - 4xchampMickie

Okay. Be there in 10 min. - JohnFelixAnthonyCena

Back by the bar...

Maria went up to Randy and kissed him passionately, then she had a couple of shots of tequila and basically got herself drunk. Randy knew exactly what she was doing and wasn't even trying to stop her. He then told Maria they were leaving and headed back to their hotel room. They arrived at their hotel room and began making out on the bed, Randy decided that he was going to take this oppourtunity and sleep with Maria. He began to disrobe her of her jacket and her shirt, she let him at first but when he began to get aggressive, she was getting scared. She pushed him off of her and told him to stop, again he just continued and started to hold her arms down, she began crying and at that moment for some reason, she wished John was there. She again pushed him off of her, roughly, and began running to the door. He caught up to her and pushed her into the wall, she began to feel dizzy and fell to the floor. He again got on top of her and roughly began to rape her. She closed her eyes and let the tears stream down her face, then she suddenly started having these sort of like flashbacks. She remembered Randy attempting to rape her last time and she remembered kissing John, making love to him after the carnival, Valentine's Day and the accident. It was all coming back to her.

"Get off of me!" said Maria as she kicked Randy right between his legs (if you know what I mean ;p)

He rolled over in pain and she started making her way out the door, she was once again heading to room 0423. She felt so light-headed and dizzy from just running to John's room and she was getting tired. Finally, she made it to his room and banged on his door, there was no answer. She didn't have the strength to run anymore and to make matters worse, she collapsed in front of his door.

-xxxxxxxxxxxx-

John was making his way back to his room after he left Mickie's room. She told him everything that Maria had said to her and how Randy lied to Maria. He didn't think Randy would stoop that low, but he did. Now John had to find a way to try and clear up things with Maria, which to him would be hard. He made it to his floor and headed to his room, when he was walking down the hallway, he saw Maria's body on the floor by his door. He immediately panicked and ran to her side. He held her up in his arms and wiped the hair away from her face, he needed to wake her up to make sure she was ok.

She suddenly opens her eyes and wraps her arms around him, then she looked at him.

"John, you...you promised...you promised you wouldn't leave me." (M)

She then fell unconcious again in his arms and he held his tears in. He didn't leave her, he never would, she left him and it tore him up inside. Then he suddenly realized something, Maria just said he promised he would never leave her and that promise was made when they were together, he realized that Maria got her memory back. He looked at her, asleep in his arms, and then he got up and brought her into his room.

A/N: Ok so finally! Maria got her memory back!! Yay!! Well I know this chapter was a little longer than usual, but I had to put it all together. Please R&R! I'd really really like to hear what you think.
