Disclaimer: I do not own Christian/Jay Reso (although I really wish I did) or any of the Superstars and the Divas mentioned in this story – they own themselves and Vincent Kennedy McMahon owns the WWE. I only own this story and its original characters. I'll hit the switch on you if ever try to steal this story.

Three weeks have passed, but what transpired between Dawn and John was still fresh in their minds. Two weeks ago, Vince McMahon gave the two of them an intense rom session which didn't end on a good note; that memory too is still fresh in their minds. And this week, they now have to face their consequence.

It was the first day of May and it was eight thirty-five in the morning. WWE was in Stamford, Conneticut and everyone was suffering from post-Extreme Rules and Raw Supershow depression. Most of the Superstars and the Divas were still on their beds, trying to get as much sleep and rest as they can, but John Cena and Dawn Ricard were at the WWE headquarters instead of taking their much deserved-rest. The two did a terrific performance at Extreme Rules: John won in his match against Brock Lesnar and Scarlet was the new Divas Champion. The two didn't know why Vince wanted to see the two of them, and judging by the tone of his voice when he called them, he didn't sound like he was going to congratulate them. Dawn felt very anxious and even though John had told her that there was nothing to worry about, she just couldn't shake the feeling.

When they got there, John and Dawn were immediately sent to Vince's office. When they stepped inside his office, the back of his leather chair greeted them. When he turned around, John and Dawn discovered that he was holding a stack of printed photographs in his hands. John and Dawn silently took the seats in front of Vince. Vince then stood up and slammed the photographs down on his table. Dawn looked at it and all the color from her face was drained. John looked at it as well and his eyes widened. He wiped his face with his hand.

"This is unacceptable, Miss Ricard!"

Vince McMahon scolded Dawn. Dawn wanted to cry, but she was trying her best not to. John thought that Vince was being harsh on Dawn, so he decided to stand up for her.

"Vince, this is my fault, not hers." John calmly told Vince. "Please. Don't blame her, this is all on me."

Vince sighed and rubbed his temples. He started pacing back and forth. It was silent for a while but then he took a seat on his leather chair. "We're a PG show now, you two know that. I can't have any of you doing anything reckless outside the ring! I'm very, very disappointed in the two of you."

"I'm sorry Mr. McMahon," Dawn started, her voice slightly cracking. "I promise I won't let you down again."

"You better not, Miss Ricard. As for you John, try to control yourself - you have an image to protect." Vince told them sternly before standing up from his chair and started lecturing them.

May 14, 2012 - Monday
Raw Supershow
Live at Consol Energy Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The new Divas Champion Scarlet could be seen walking backstage. The Divas title was placed on top of her left shoulder. Her in-ring attire was still the same - shiny vest halter top, very short shorts, stockings and garter. The only things that were different about it were the color and the design. Her attire was black now instead of red and the edges of her vest halter top were now like Chris Jericho's lite-brite jacket. The front part of her vest looked like the back of a corset. Her fiery red hair was slicked back in a neat, high ponytail and her eye make-up was dark, making her blue eyes pop.

The crowd went wild when she and CM Punk walked right past each each other in the hallway. The WWE Champion stopped walking and looked over his shoulder, staring at the new Scarlet. Was John Laurinaitis the reason why she decided to change? Or was it Chris Jericho? He thought it was the latter because she was now dressed like him and she'd been hanging around him all the time now. He wasn't sure what happened at Extreme Rules; he won, but why was she working as Jericho's valet? Punk then shook her head and sighed, before walking away.

When her and Phil's backstage segment was over, Dawn went to Chris' dressing room, since they had a mixed tag team match against Kelly Kelly and Zack Ryder in a few minutes. She knocked on Chris' door for three times and when he didn't open the door, Dawn just went inside. There, she found Chris doing some warm-up stretches. Dawn sat in the steel chair in front of him and he stopped stretching when he noticed the lack of expression on her face; it's like someone sucked the life out of her. Chris took a seat on the bench and put a hand on Dawn's left shoulder.

"Hey, you okay Dee?" Chris asked, a little bit worried about her.

Dee blinked once and shrugged her shoulder. "Yeah, sorta."

Chris nodded. "Have you and Jay made up?"

Dawn closed her eyes and shook her head. "No and I don't think we will anytime soon."

Chris didn't know what to say. He shouldn't have asked her about Jay. He looked at her and he could tell that she was about to cry. "I went through something like this with my wife Jessica, you know."

Dawn opened her eyes and turned her head to look at Chris. "You did?"

"Yeah," Chris nodded, chuckling at the thought. "I was fooling around with Barbie before. When Jessica found out, she refused to talk to me for weeks and she wouldn't let me see the kids. I realized that I was the worst husband and father ever."

"How'd you managed to fix it?" Dawn asked him.

"I broke things off with Barbie. I told her I shouldn't have let it happen in the first place and I won't let it happen again. I waited for the right time to talk to Jessica. A few months seemed like forever, but the long wait was worth it," Chris told her. "Time heals everything, as cliche as it may sound."

Dawn was surprised with Chris' confession, but she finally managed to crack a smile. "True. I agree with that cliche statement."

Chris squeezed her shoulder and stood up from the bench. He started stretching again. "And if you and Jay really love each other, you'll find a way."

Dawn sighed. "I don't even know where to start."

"Do you miss him?" Chris asked.

"Of course I miss him, I miss him so much." Dawn replied.

"Well, I have good news for you - he misses you too. Why don't you try and call him or leave him a text message saying you want to talk to him in person?" Chris suggested.

"I already did that, but he clearly doesn't want to talk to me." Dawn looked down, taking in a deep breath and exhaling sharply.

Chris tsked. "Guess you have to just wait for his rage to subside."

Dawn sighed sadly. "Yeah."

Chris stared at her and shook his head. "You two are a complete mess without each other."

Dawn closed her eyes, trying to remember all the good times she had with Jay. He gave her the world and she repaid him with infidelity. And now she has to face her consequence.

"The following mixed tag team match is set for one fall. Introducing first, from Phoenix, Arizona, she is the current WWE Divas Champion - Scarlet!"

Scarlet came out and instead of getting a positive response from the audience in attendance, she received a mixed one, since she's a heel now. Instead of blowing kisses to the crowd, she kept her head up high and stared at them with piercing blue eyes. Scarlet didn't get in the ring; instead, she stood at the end of the ramp. Suddenly, all the lights in the venue went out. For a few seconds, the only thing that everyone could see was Scarlet's vest halter top. The lights came back when Chris Jericho's entrance music started to play and he came out a few seconds later. He joined Scarlet at the end of the ramp and he wrapped his arm around her shoulder protectively.

Kelly Kelly then came out, receiving a huge pop from the crowd. When Zack Ryder went out after Kelly Kelly did, he also received a warm response. When the two teams took their places in their respective corners, the referee took Scarlet's belt and then rang the bell. The Divas decided to start the match. Scarlet kicked the back of Kelly's legs, sending Kelly down on the mat. The redhead then grabbed Kelly's blonde hair slammed her face down on the mat hard for three times before standing up.

"I don't know what happened to Scarlet, Cole," Jerry 'The King' Lawler said on commentary. "She used to be so hot, but I guess her flames have been extinguished."

"What?" Michael Cole said in reply. "She's much better now, actually! When she aligned herself with Chris Jericho, it's like he poured some gasoline into her spirit and now she's just like wildfire."

The match was still on going and Kelly was beginning to make an offense. Just as Scarlet was about to punch her, Kelly took her down with a clothesline. Scarlet managed to get on her feet in a few seconds but Kelly brought her down again with a dropkick to the face. Kelly then went on the bottom right turnbuckle and landed on top of Scarlet. Kelly quickly went for the cover but Scarlet managed to kick out at two.

"Scarlet is much better with CM Punk in my opinion. They brought out the best in each other." Lawler said.

"Scarlet did the right thing by breaking up with CM Punk after his match at Extreme Rules. And I don't agree with you on that. She could learn a lot from Jericho and right now, she's showing us what she's gained from being with him."

Scarlet was lying in the middle of the ring now, and Kelly was waiting for her to get up, but the redhead surprised Kelly with a kip-up frankensteiner. Kelly crawled to her tag team partner and tagged Zack Ryder in. Scarlet went out of the ring and Jericho went in. The two of them went at it but Zack managed to get the upper hand. But then Scarlet decided to interfere with the match by kicking Zack in the back of his head. Kelly tried to tell the referee about it, but the referee wouldn't listen and instead, tried his best to keep Kelly in her corner. Jericho capitalized the interference by taking Zack's legs and putting him in the Walls of Jericho. A few seconds later, Zack tapped out and Jericho and Scarlet were declared victorious. The referee gave the WWE Divas title back to Scarlet and then raised her and Jericho's hands.

Dawn has changed into her casual clothes now and was sitting in front of one of the vanity tables in the Divas locker room. She had a moist cotton pad in her hand and she was gently patting the make-up off her face. Barbie was sitting on the next vanity table, and she was smiling at Dawn. Dawn ignored her but then Eve came and put an arm around her shoulder. Dawn finished what she was doing and threw the dirty cotton pad into a trash bin.

"Hey Eve." Dawn said in a low, tired voice.

"Let's go out and have drinks tonight, Dee! It's been a while since we've had a girls night. Right Barbie?" Eve told her, a wide smile plastered on her face.

Barbie nodded. "Please don't say no, Dee! You really need to loosen up, you know!"

Dawn groaned. "Girls, I-"

"Pleeaaseee?" Eve and Barbie begged her at the same time.

Dawn rolled her eyes and let out a small laugh. "Alright, alright, I'll go out and have drinks with the two of you."

And with that, Barbie got up from her seat and she and Eve hugged Dawn. Eve and Barbie then left. Dawn took in a deep breath and exhaled. She looked at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were bloodshot and there were dark circles under her eyes. She looked miserable. She stared at herself with disgust for a few minutes, before getting up from the stool, taking her bag from the table, and walking out of the Divas locker room. She brought her phone out and looked at the screen. Suddenly, she bumped into someone and her phone fell down on the floor. She and the person she bumped into tried to pick it up the same time and they ended up sitting on the floor with their hands on their foreheads. Dawn was reaching out for her phone but the person she collided with was handing it to her. She looked up and smiled when she saw that it was Mike.

"Oh, Mike! I'm really, really sorry for bumping into you." Dawn said as she quickly got up from the floor and took her phone from him.

"Nah, it's okay," Mike assured her as he smiled at her. "How have you been? I can't remember the last time we've talked."

Dawn chuckled. "Yeah, me neither. And I'm okay, I guess. I could be better though."

"Sorry," Mike said. "Going back to the hotel so soon? The show's not over yet."

Dawn shrugged as she shoved her phone back into the pocket of her jeans. "I don't really feel like staying here any longer."

"Well, I'm leaving too actually. I was on my way to the locker room to go get my stuff." Mike replied. "We can leave together, if you want."

"I have my own rental car and I'm going straight to the bar with Eve and Barbie." Dawn told him.

"Oh, alright." Mike said, a little disappointed.

Dawn saw the look on his face and then she started feeling guilty for turning down his offer. "Let's go have breakfast tomorrow at IHOP at eight. We could do some catching up."

Mike grinned. "Sounds awesome."

And with that, the two hugged each other for a few seconds before parting, going on their own ways.

Jay and Chris were at the bar, drinking some beer. They were now having their third bottle but both men were far from drunk. Jay had been drinking a little excessively since he found out about the pictures and he hasn't spoken to Dawn ever since. He stared at her from across the room. She was sitting in one of the booths with Eve and Barbie, and all three of them were laughing. Seeing Dawn happy delighted and infuriated him at the same time. Suddenly, he felt Chris slapping his shoulder.

"Go talk to her already," Chris urged him. "You can't stay away from her forever."

"I can if I tried hard enough." Jay said nonchalantly.

"You sound like a coward, man! You went through a lot to get her, and you're just going to let her go just like that?" Chris told him.

Jay sighed. Chris had a point. "But, everything I did seems useless now. If she doesn't want me-"

"How could she not want you?" Chris scoffed.

As Chris and Jay continued discussing about Dawn, Dawn was talking about Jay and other guys with Eve and Barbie.

"I mean, I can't blame you for doing what you did with John," Eve told her as she sipped her drink. "The guy's hot. He's even hotter now that he's divorced."

Eve and Barbie laughed, while Dawn rolled her eyes.

"Honestly? I think Jay is overreacting now," Barbie said. "I know he has the right to be pissed at you, but come on."

"I kinda agree with Barbie," Eve added. "If Jay really loves you, he'll be the first to talk because he can't stand not being with you."

Dawn was aware that Jay was there, so she looked at him and sighed. "He seems happier without me."

Two ladies were talking to Chris and Jay now, asking them if they were looking for a good time. Chris rejected the blonde who was interested in him by showing her his wedding ring, while Jay told the brunette who was touching his thigh that he was with his girlfriend. Dawn immediately looked away when Jay pointed at her. Eve and Barbie stopped talking and looked at the direction where Chris and Jay were and saw that the two ladies were just leaving.

"Okay, what just happened?" Barbie asked Dawn.

"Jay was talking to a whore and he pointed at me." Dawn said, frowning.

"Whoa, calm down Dee. At least he didn't leave with her." Eve patted Dawn on the back.

Dawn said nothing and she just continued to drink her beverage. Two hours later, the girls decided to go to the hotel and call it a night. When Dawn got inside her hotel room, she locked the door and went to the bathroom to prepare for bed. She took a quick, cold shower and chose to wear one of Christian's Peep Show shirts and red boyshorts. She towel-dried her hair and brushed her teeth, and then got out of the bathroom. She made her way to the bed and when she made it, she peeled back the silver duvet and got on the bed. She yawned and realized how tired she was, but she can't sleep. She stared blankly at the ceiling, and a few minutes later, she found herself crying. She missed Jay terribly. It's like she ripped her own heart out. Tears uncontrollably went down her face as she slowly remembered what she did. She cried until she didn't have the strength to cry anymore. She closed her eyes and prayed to God that she gets through this.

Jay, on the other hand, was on his bed, holding a beer bottle in his left hand. He stared blankly at the television. He wasn't interested in watching the show. He only had one person on his mind, and it was Dawn. He thought about everything they have been through. They have been through so much in just a little amount of time and he regrets nothing. But he knows that he can't just forgive Dawn like that. She made a big mistake and now she's going to have to face the consequence of her actions.

Author's note: I kinda lost interest in writing this story since I received no reviews for the last chapter, but I hope I get feedback for this one so I could continue writing it again. Anyway, I think the creative team at the WWE secretly knows this story. I mean, hello? The CM Punk and AJ storyline is like CM Punk and Scarlet's in a way and Christian and Cody Rhodes are in a feud. I was like, "This is like my story!

I'm so happy that Christian is back and how he's now the Intercontinental Champion. I like Cody though, so I'm happy either way, hahaha. So yeah, send in a review and let me know what you think! Please don't be a silent reader. xx
