A/N: I only own the OC.
Thank you for the reviews! I really appreciate all your thoughts, suggestions, and love for this story.
We stood in our spots for what seems like an eternity before I finally made the first move. I walked down the stairs and up to him; he looked at me, but didn't say anything. He had his hands in his pockets and was looking out in the ocean... it was a little rough today, and I could relate to it.
"I still love you, but you hurt me." he finally said and looked at me. I nodded and looked at him.
"I never meant to hurt you, but I did what I thought was best." I said and omitted the fact that I wanted to tell him he wasn't there, but I wanted this to be ok... not start more shit between us.
"I still wish you would have told me." he said and I sighed as I ran a hand through my hair.
"I tried Finn... I did. I called you, and even showed up on RAW that night... you didn't want to talk to me." I said and he looked at me as he shook his head.
"You stopped talking to me... not the other way around, remember?" I asked him as I felt all the emotions from those weeks where I didn't know what to do, what he was going to do or not do, and that my career was possibly over because of this.
"I remember... I had my reasons." he said and I felt my eyebrows raise in shock.
"Please do tell these reasons." I said and he looked at the sand as he moved some of it around with his foot.
"I was scared. We were getting serious, and I got called up. I wasn't sure if we were going to make it, and I had been told that you were going to Smackdown." he said and I pursed my lips.
"That's a bullshit excuse." I said and he looked at me surprised.
"It's the truth! They told me I needed to appear single, and that I didn't need to leave anything behind in NXT. I knew that I loved you, but I wasn't sure if that was going to be enough to get us through everything." he said and I took a deep breath.
"So, instead of telling me that you just stopped talking to me?" I asked him and he ran his hands over his face. I didn't believe that at all.
"I'm calling bullshit on that Finn." I said and he shook his head. I still felt like I was missing a piece of this puzzle.
"Fine, Kayla, I was with Cathy... ok, I cheated on you with her. I didn't answer you because I didn't want to tell you what a horrible person I was." He said and my heart sank... I guess some time things are better left unsaid.
"If I had known you were pregnant..." He was saying and I cut him off.
"But you didn't, and you have no right to be mad at me about it now. I fucking tried, Finn... but you... you ran to someone else. I have felt like a fucking failure since you left me at my Dad's. I felt like maybe I didn't try hard enough. I have relived those days, and opened those emotions... only to just have you told me that no matter what I did I never had your heart. You were already gone." I said and I was surprised that no tears had come out yet. I didn't even have the emotions to scream at him... I only felt a new form of pain.
"Kayla..." He said and I held up my hand to stop him. I didn't really want to hear anymore revelations from him.
"No, Finn, don't... please don't. I loved you the first time, and I let myself love you this time. I want this to work, but now I'm scared it's going to end like the first time because I don't know if I will ever have your heart." I said and turned to walk away, but he grabbed my hand. I looked at him and he was looking at the ring.
"I didn't buy this for Cathy... I bought it for you. I bought it a few weeks before I got called up, and then we had that fight." He said and I listened to him. I knew what fight he was talking about... he had accused me of cheating on him with My ex who came to the show at Full Sail that night, and I threw his relationship with Bayley in his face. We got through it, but he had left mad that night. I always wondered who he had stayed with, but I guess I knew now. She had been at Full Sail that night... I remember her and Finn talking, but thought nothing of it.
"I went to the hotel some friends were staying at... and she was there. I didn't mean for it to happen, but it did. I came home the next day, and things felt so different. I looked at the ring, and realized that no matter what I wasn't good enough for you. I knew that I was going to Raw, and took the cowards way out." He said and looked at me.
"Why stay with her? Why not talk to me?" I asked him as I let my hand fall to my side.
"She had connections. I got a lot of extra pushes because she was good friends with the right people. I enjoyed that, but not her. She pushed me to marry her, but it never felt right." He said and I looked at him as he sat down in the sand.
"You always felt right." He said and looked up at me. He took my hand and gently pulled me to him in the sand. He pulled me in his lap and put his chin on my head. I didn't want to say anything, but instead enjoy this moment... because I didn't know how many more moments I had like this with him.
