Chapter ten "Say anything that could make this all okay. Take it away, take it away, Take away all of this emptiness I feel 'Cause I will never find another you."(Another You; Of Mice & Men)

"I know," I spoke up. "I know. I just… I don't know honestly."

"Do you like it, or…"

I shrugged. "I'm used to it. Jon was the same way when we were dating years ago." I look down. "He just knows what Matt has done."

"You're right on that point. Matt did leave you, too, when you needed help. Matt just doesn't like to admit that." I nodded. "I can understand why Jon is being protective, but I had to check in with you. I still care about you, Vi, as a friend, of course."

"Let's just grab this stuff to go." Colby asks me why. "Because I don't need Jon choking out Matt." He chuckles as we grab our lunch. We walked back. "So, did Jon hold up well?"

"We weren't really doing anything. I mean, we went out to drink on Tuesday with Claudio Castagnoli, and Joe's cousins," Antonio Cesaro and The Usos, "and he was just gone. You weren't texting him and he literally sat there and drank alone." We got to the house. "Maybe this whole thing with moving with Sami is a good idea." I shrugged. "Listen, he knows if you're not texting him, Sami will right away."

"I guess."

Colby pat my shoulder. "Jon is just worried about you."

"Keep him in check during the weekend shows." Colby nods. "I know you are better then anyone else. Well, you and Joe are really good. I just get worried about him too." We walked inside to see Matt and Jon at the table eating. "Did you poison his food," I jokingly said. Matt smirks.

"You guys got yourself food?" Jon said.

I nodded. "We were going to eat there, but I was afraid to see Matt dead on the floor." Jon smirks. I sat next to him, eating my sandwich. After a while of an awkward silence, a knock came to the door.

"Must be Sam," Matt got up. We heard the door open.

Jon jumped up. It's been a while since Jon and Sam had seen each other. Though both stayed in close contact, they never had chances to hang out. "Mox!" Sami screams out. Jon throws him into a hug. I chuckle. Ever since Jon trained him in Ohio, they have always been close. They were tag teams champ in CZW, and they never lost touch. Those two were the best to me. Sam always treated me well, and well… Jon is the best.

"Dude, I've missed you!" I smile to the both of them. "I think Violet has too."

"Ms. Orton," he says. I got up and hugged him. "I'm sorry about yesterday."

"You're fine. Just don't be a dick anymore, Sami." I let go. "I'll send Mox after you."

"I'm kind of scared with that threat." I chuckled. "I mean, I know what he is capable of." Jon slaps the back of his head. "What?!"

"That's what you get for the other day, you asshole." I smiled. "Be careful around her."

I took the three guys upstairs, Colby, Sam, and Jon, to help pack my stuff. "I don't have much. Of course, we still have our house in Jersey."

"I kind miss Jersey," Sam chuckles. He lived out there with Chrissy. Once they were divorce up, he got the offer at NXT. He moved straight to Florida.

"Would you guys move to Florida?" Colby spoke up, taking my gear bag.

I turn to Jon. "Well," he says. "Maybe, we kind of just got our house in New Jersey."

"Yeah, but both of you will rarely be there." Sam pointed out. "I mean, I don't mind having you guys here for a while."

I look at Jon, picking up a couple of my bags. He knows what I'm thinking. I became really close with Chrissy after the divorce. She was heartbroken. Even though I was as sick at the time, I still tried my hardest to be there for Chrissy. She returned the favor to me. She was like Phil who always called and sent me gifts. I was by her side, and she always was by my side.

"Maybe," Jon shrugs. "The last thing I want to think about is another move while Violet is already stressing out." I'm not that stress, Jon.

!

I didn't even make eye contact with Matt. I just put my stuff in Sami's car and hoped for the best. I laid my head on Jon's shoulder as he ran his fingers through my short hair. I took one of his hands and held on tight. Maybe I was stressed. All I knew is that I had Jon here.

We unloaded our stuff into the room. Colby and Sam left us alone. Jon looks up at me. He puts his lips against mine. I tried to kiss back with feeling, but it was hard. Was I stressing so much that I felt numb? Jon moved onto my neck. I closed my eyes, trying to remember he loves me.

"You okay," he went back to my lips. I opened my eyes. He went to grab my hands. "Violet?"

"Yeah," he kisses my nose. I smiled, feeling the warm, loving feeling. "Sometimes, you are the best in the world."

"I'm no CM Punk, but I try." I chuckled and kissed him. I then went in for a hug. He places his hands on my back. "You know, you're also the best, Violet."

"Sometimes, I'm not though…"

"No, you doubt yourself a lot." I let go. Jon took both of my hands. "You know I love you, right, Violet?" I nod. "We shouldn't be hiding this."

"My brother…"

Jon looks down. "One day, he'll accept."

"We can wait for that day."

"I don't know how much longer, Violet Orton." I let go of his hands when he used my full name. His tone of voice was very stentorian to me. "What?"

I look down. "I don't like it when you raise your voice and used my full name." Jon mumbles out a sorry. "Jon, just respect what I'm doing. If you truly love me—"

"I do, Violet."

"Then why are you threatening to practically leave me?" I shout out, picking up my head. He backs away. "Jon, if you can't take it anymore, then leave again."

"You know," Jon puts his hands up. "I can start today. Maybe I regretted this decision."

"What?"

"Regretted being with you, Violet." I push back my bangs. "I didn't expect being in a relationship with Ms. Orton would be this bad."

"You know, maybe I should have dated Matt instead then." Jon ducks his head. "You would have love to see me with another man, won't you have?" Jon stood silence. "You didn't like it much when I was with Colby." Jon still couldn't make eye contact with me. "Whatever, you stay up here and decided whether you are going to leave me or not."

I grab my phone and slammed the door behind me. When I went downstairs, Sam met me there. "What did he do, Vi?"

"You were right." I said. "You were just god damn right."

"No, no no," Sami puts me in a hug. "No…"

I broke down in his arms. "He can't just do this again…"

"No, he can't, Violet." Sami just held me closer. He kept repeating the words to calm me down. There's was nothing that could stop Jon at this point. n

A/N: Sorry it's been a while! I got super sick and in a down mood. I'm still fighting off a cold. Ugh. But I have a lot of chapters written ahead. I hope to post them soon. Hope you guys are still enjoying.
