By the look on Zack's face Jessie knew he heard everything. She knew he was going to tell John. She didn't want that to happened. She had to try to convince Zack not to tell him.
"Zack I can explain." She heard her music start. "Before you do anything hear me out." "Meet me after my match." She walked away.
Her match lasted about ten minutes. When she came back through the curtain Zack was waiting for her.
"How can you do that to John?" He said.
"I didn't mean to Zack."
"Right."
"I didn't it was completely unintentional."
"So you didn't to it to get back at him?"
"No." "I went to the bar last month." "Dwayne was there he kept buying me drinks and it just happened."
"You'll be sorry."
"Please don't tell John, Zack please I beg you." "He doesn't have to know."
"That's not why you'll be sorry." "He's telling you the truth Jessie." "Liz came on to him."
"He's lying." "I saw them."
"No he's not." "He loves you what you're doing to him is killing him."
"What about what he did to me?"
"When he finds out about this it's gonna kill him more."
"Don't tell him please."
"He's my best friend I'm not lying to him."
"I know he's your best friend but like you said it'll kill him."
"If you're not with him what do you care?"
"He'll think I did to get back at him like you do and I didn't."
"Well what do you want me to think huh?" "You know how much he hates him and you go and do that."
"I was drunk."
"Yeah blame it on the booze." "You know damn well you did it to hurt him."
"No." "Give me a break just pretend you never heard us."
"I'm not gonna tell him."
"Thank you."
"You're gonna tell him."
"What?"
"I'll give you a week to tell him."
"Are you blackmailing me?"
"No I'm giving you an ultimatum." "I'll give you a week to tell him." "If you don't I'm going to."
"Zack please don't do this to me."
"I didn't do this to you." "You did it to yourself." He started walking away.
"Zack, Zack."
"One week Jessie."
After the show Jessie went back to her hotel room. She stayed by herself now. When she got to her room she saw roses up against her door. She picked them up and looked at the card. It read.
I know you said you're not ready to date yet. Can we still be friends? If you ever wanna talk here's my number 745-0124. – Dwayne Johnson
A couple days later Jessie was moving into her new place. She moved to Daytona, Florida. Eve had been sick the last few days so she didn't know what was going on. Jessie sat on her couch and her cell phone started to ring.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hey." Eve said.
"How are you feeling?"
"A lot better."
"Good."
"What's the big emergency?"
"Zack knows."
"Knows what?"
"About me and Dwayne."
"He knows to slept together?"
"Yeah."
"How?"
"He overheard me and Dwayne talking."
"Did he tell John?"
"No but gave me an ultimatum." "He says I have a week to tell John and if I don't he's going to."
"What are you gonna do?"
"I have to tell him what choice do I have?"
"You know it'll hurt him more if he hears it from Zack."
"I know." "Why can't Zack just leave it alone?"
"John is his best friend."
"I gotta go I have a lot of unpacking to do."
John was in Massachusetts he decided to try to get through to Liz one last time. He pulled in her driveway got out and rang the doorbell. She answered.
"John." She said surprised.
"I need to talk to you."
"Come on in." He went in. "What are you doing here?"
"I'm here you ask you one more time to tell Jessie the truth."
"No."
"You say you love me right?"
"Yeah."
"You want me to be happy right?"
"Yeah."
"Then be a descent person and do this for me."
"No you belong with me John."
"When are you gonna understand this Elizabeth, I don't want you I don't love you." "I never will again."
"Fine." "You'll never get her back."
"Ok." "If I give you money will you tell her?"
"How much?"
"Name your price."
"A hundred thousand dollars."
"Fine." He wrote the check and gave it to her. "Now tell her the god damn truth."
The following Monday Jessie was at the arena. She had to tell John tonight. She was walking down the hall.
"Jessie." John said. She kept walking. "Just stop for a second." She turned around and saw John and Liz standing there.
"Thanks for rubbing it in my face."
"Just listen Jessie." "Liz tell her."
"Jessie John's not lying to you." Liz said. "He didn't know I was at the house that day." "I came on to him." "He's never cheated on you."
"You fucking bitch I'm gonna kick your ass!" Jessie said charging at her. John grabbed her by the waist when she got to them.
"Jessie no she's not worth it." John said. "Liz leave now." She walked away.
Jessie hugged John.
"John I'm sorry." She said. "I'm so sorry."
"It's ok."
"No it isn't." "John let's go to your locker room." "We need to talk."
"Ok." They went to his locker room.
"John sit down." He sat down. "I have something to tell you." She knelt down in front of him.
"What?"
"I slept with someone a week after we broke up." She got tears in her eyes.
"It's ok."
"It was Dwayne Johnson." "I'm sorry." "I was drinking and it just happened." John looked down at the floor.
"Maybe it's best if we stay broken up."
"John I'm sorry." He looked at her. "I love you."
"I thought you did." "How the fuck could you do that!" "How could you be so cold!"
"I didn't do it to hurt you."
"Right." "I didn't even do anything."
"Honey I'm so sorry." She said starting to cry. "Please forgive me."
"I want you to leave."
"John-
"Get out Jessie." She left went in the diva's locker room, lid down the door and started sobbing.
