Like I said in the previous chapter, the ending might have been a little bit confusing so I made sure to clear it up in this one. When I comes to me updating though, it'll probably be on the weekend because i'm now busy during the week with practice and everything cuz i'm back from break. Also, thank you for all the reviews, favorite and follows, it means a lot to me ^.^ I hope you guys like this chapter =)

"I wanna discuses my contract….."

"What about it?" Paul sat behind his desk looking at the man that's had this company on edge. He had hoped to discuss Phil's contract situation after the match. He was going to have Phil win the title that night. He wanted Phil to get that rush of not only winning the title, but doing so in front of his hometown. He knew it would remind Phil why he started wrestling in the first place and joined the WWE, he hoped that it would push Phil to resign.

"I wanna resign." Phil could see the look of surprise on the Cerebral Assassins face; he had taken him completely off guard. To be honest it shocked Phil just as much as it did Paul. This was his chance to do something though, he had to take it. He knew he had Paul right where he wanted it him. He could have anything he wanted and he knew it. He wasn't planning to do this, but it seemed like there were storylines he just couldn't leave up to the creative team. Knowing them they would have John get the girl in their new storyline and he just couldn't have that. If Phil couldn't have Jenn in real life maybe it wouldn't be so bad to just have Alex Bolton on screen.

"What? You do? No fight, Brooks?" Paul sat back in his chair, taking this all in. He gave Phil a curious look, What was he up to? This wasn't like Phil, never has been and never will be. He was up to something.

"You know what I want contract wise, but I'm gonna tell you what I want storyline wise." Phil stated, leaving no ground to question, he was gonna lay it all out on the table. He had this storyline swirling in his head ever since he heard about the new storyline. Of course that was only 15 or so minutes ago, but 15 minutes was enough for him. Phil made sure he had Paul's complete attention before continuing, "You let me win the match tonight-"

"Already done. I was planning on having you win the title tonight anyways." Paul cut in.

"That's nice to know." Phil really wasn't expecting for them to risk giving the title to him. "Well, that takes care of that, but obviously there's more….I take the title and 'drop off the grid'. All the fans'll think I completely disappeared. No twitter, not social media, no anything for…2 weeks? Then during the time I'm gone, you bring Cena in as the 'new champ'." Phil brought his tattooed hands up for the air quotes on 'new champ'. "Then I come back and we start a whole 'who the legitimate champion' dispute and so on and so forth."

"Wow that's a better storyline then some of the creative writers can come up with. Its good and I like it, but there's one problem," Paul shifted again in his chair, now leaning forward and folding his hands on his desk, "Where does Jennifer fit into all this?"

"Uhhh….." Phil knew he wanted to end up with her over Cena, but hadn't though really thought about how he wanted to get to the point. "…. Have her torn between me and John I guess, but she should end up with me in the end because I can tell you one thing," Phil said trying to sound completely professional, "you put her with Cena in the end and people are gonna flip 'cause they're so sick and tired of seeing Cena put above everyone else."

"Okay, that's fine. We can sorta have him move in on her when you're not around for the time being. But then he'll be viewed in a romantic way and you'll still be stuck in that best friend slot. Apples and oranges, Phil. We need romantic on both sides…."

"Oh don't worry; I can take care of that." Phil was 100% positive he could come up with something. As a matter of fact he already had an idea or two…. "You just gotta let me have control of the wheel on this one. You gotta let me say and do what I want and then we can work it out as we go."

Paul took a moment to think this over. Giving Phil complete control over what he did or said could go two ways. Right now Paul really didn't have much of a choice though, he had to let Phil do what he did best. "Okay, but just for tonight. After tonight you have to run everything by me." Paul saw Phil's face light up at the opportunity he had handed him. He got to do what he wanted and say what he wanted to say, no restrains. Paul hoped he wouldn't regret this. "One more thing, you can't have any contact with Jennifer for the next two weeks, starting right after that match ends, as soon as you have that championship in your hands and are out that door. I mean I hate to do this to you guys, but it'll make it seem more real for the two of you, especially Jennifer."

Phil had gone more then to weeks without any contact with Jenn before, but it wasn't on purpose. With what Phil wanted to do later that night, two weeks of no contact might just wreck them. He hated to think that, but it was true. To get into a 'romantic' view in this storyline would deeply effect there life-long friendship, but it was a risk he had to take.

"Alright, no contact. You just make sure Jennifer is out at ringside for the match." Phil knew one thing for sure, Paul wouldn't have to worry about this storyline seeming 'real' for him because it already was.

"I had a lot of fun tonight. It's probably one of my favorite dates that I've ever been on." Jenn smiled at John as they walked through the park, the last stop of the night. They had been all over the city in a mere 4 hours, but no matter where they managed to find themselves they always had a smile on their faces.

"Really? Well I'm glad to hear that. I wasn't really expecting for you to even want to come tonight after the whole Phil thing, but you surprised me." John returned her smile, his blue eyes shining back at her. To say he was having the time of his life would be an understatement. She was everything he thought she would be and more. She was just amazing. She did give him a little bit of a scare earlier thought; he thought this date wasn't going to happen. The look on her face when she saw her stuff outside of his bus and no sign of Phil was heartbreaking. She was SO attached to Phil that it scared John and made him realize that Phil might just have a bigger role in his new relationship with Jenn then he originally thought.

"I would never back out of a date last minute like that. I promised you a date and so I delivered. Plus, the whole thing with Phil is no big deal, really. It just took me a little off guard, that's all." Jenn took his hand in her's, interlocking their fingers, trying to reassure that she was fine, which of course she wasn't. She couldn't get Phil out of her head. It was driving her mad. He had been acting so weird all night and then POOF he was gone. She was worried about him and needed to talk to him about what had happened that night, but she obviously couldn't do that seeing that she couldn't even get in contact with him. "I'm glad I came on this date with you….. You know, I really like you, John."

"I really like you too and that's why I was kinda afraid earlier when I thought you were gonna cancel on me." John looked and Jenn for a brief second, but then diverted his attention to his surrounding, which he hadn't been paying much thought to. The only source of light was a few light posts lining along the walk way. Everything else was dark besides the moon and stars.

"Are you kidding me? I would have to be nuts to cancel a date with John Cena." Jenn nudged him, smiling and chuckling. He really was a great guy. He was funny, sweet, kind, he was a gentlemen and was incredibly good looking. She figured if there was ever going be a guy to help her get over her long time crush, it would be John.

"Keep that in mind for the future, Ms. McCoy."

"Oh I will." Jenn stated, confirming that the two had a future together.

"So, where to next?" John knew their date was over and that they were both tired and wanted to going to sleep, especially seeing that it was 4 in the morning.

"I hate to break it to ya, but we both need to head home. Well, home for me, hotel for you." Not only was Jenn tired, but she also wanted to stop by at a certain someone's apartment.

"Let me take you home then," John insisted.

"I wasn't going to go straight home to be honest. I was going to stop by Phil's place before I headed home. His apartment is only a few doors down from mine." Jenn and Phil had done it that way because knowing Phil would be gone for most part of the year it made it easier for Jennifer to go and get his mail, check on his things, stuff like that.

"Okay then, how 'bout I drive you to your apartment, you can go check on his place real quick then you let me walk to your door." The last thing John really wanted to do was go to Phil's apartment, but if Jenn wanted to go, he would tag along.

"Sounds good. Let's go."

Jenn walked up to the familiar door and gave a brief knock. She waited for a few seconds to pass before she pulled her keys out of her pocket. She flipped through them until she came across the correct one. "You have a key to his place?"

"Of course I do. Who do you think checks on his shit when he's not here?" She replied back to John over her shoulder. She turned the key, hearing the click of the lock and opened the door. She turned back to John before heading in. "Um, why don't you stay out here? It might be a little weird if I let you in his apartment if he's not here."

"Uh yeah, sure that's fine. I get it." He smiled almost glad he didn't have to accompany her in there. Jenn gave him one last smile before she closed the door slightly.

"Phil? You in here?" She called. No answer. Jenn sighed and did a quick once over of his apartment. He had been here. She was sure of it. His stack of comic books had been shuffled though and his kitchen light had been left on. Weird. Why was his kitchen light on?

Jenn found herself heading to his kitchen, knowing he would never forget to leave his lights on. He always did a once over before he left to make sure they were off. The kitchen had looked the same as she left it the last time she was here except there was a sheet of paper folded up, stuck to the fridge with her name on it. She took it from off the fridge and opened it.

Jenn I know you must be really confused and worried right now. I'm sorry for that and I just wanted to let you know that I'm okay; I'm not hurt and I wasn't kidnapped by ninjas. I'm perfectly fine.

This is last you'll hear from me for a while, I don't have much of a choice on the matter actually. I'm breaking the deal I made just by leaving you this. I couldn't leave you how I planned to though, I just couldn't. It broke my heart just thinking about it and it's breaking my heart thinking of what I'm putting you through, but you'll have John there for you and you'll have everyone else there for you too. This isn't a good-bye though, not at all. I'll see you soon, I just hope me doing this won't affect our friendship.

P.S. Tonight was one of the best nights of my life and it's not just because I won the title.

xxPhil

Jenn just kinda started at the letter written in his messy handwriting. She snapped out of it when she heard John call out her name. She shoved the letter into her back pocket and headed back to John, her mind still left in Phil's apartment, left running the words in his letter continuously through her head.

For the rest of the night her mind just kept running on those words. John had walked her to her door and offered her a spot on his bus to drive to the shows. She kindly accepted half mindedly. John smiled at her for a final time that night seeing that she was clearly distracted now and there was no getting her back. He gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek and said good-bye. Once John was out of sight, Jenn entered her apartment physically, but was in a totally whole different world mentally with so many thoughts and words rushing through her head.

I hope you guys liked it. I only wrote out the last part of Jenn and John's date cuz I figured you guys could used your amazing imaginations to fill in that part and make their date however you think it would be lol. Don't forget to review I always love hearing what you guys think =)
