Chapter 35: Now what?
Matt's POV
Paul and I were relaxing on the couch watching a movie while Brian and Ken were out. I think they said they were going to the store. But that's not important right now. I can tell that there's something wrong with Paul.
"Honey what's wrong?" I asked
"Nothing" he answered
"Bullshit. I can tell something is bugging you. It's ok, you know you can tell me" I offered
"Alright it's just that I feel so bad about what happened between us and Ken. You and I both know that it wasn't right for us to do that" Paul vented, and he has every right to. He's right though, I've been all calm and cool about the whole thing so I guess Paul's been catching the stress that I don't have.
"Honey, there's nothing for you to worry about. Usually I'd be right next to ya in the same boat but in this case it's different cause everything's cool. We are happy together and Ken already found someone that he's happy with" I explained to try and ease this stressful situation for him.
"I guess so" he sighed "Who's he with now anyways?"
"I don't know. He hasn't told me yet. Come to think of it I don't think he's told anybody yet"
Ashley's POV
"Hey" I answered my phone
"Just 'hey'? Not the usual hey girly what up?" Amy asked. I could tell that she was extremely excited about something but I just wasn't in the mood
"Nope" I stated
"Well even though you're in a bad mood I'm still gonna tell you. I'm pregnant!" Amy shouted
"That's great Amy. I really am like super excited but I'm just not in the mood to show it"
"I know those moods. You want me to come over?" she offered
"Actually ya. Could you please?" I asked, I know Amy helped Steph out with her choice between Jeff and John. Maybe she could help me without the criticizing too.
"Alright, give me about 20 minutes"
"Ok, see ya then" I said then hung up the phone and waited for her to show up.
As soon as Amy walked in the door she said "Talk to me Ash. Tell me what's bothering you"
"Well" I looked down; I really am ashamed about this "Ummm... I'm dating someone else"
"Oh, I didn't know you and Dave split. I'm sorry Ash"
"We didn't break up" I simply stated
"But that would mean..." Amy said as she let it sink in "ASHLEY, WTF. WHO IS IT!?"
"Someone that I had been wanting to get with since middle school. And now he's finally single" I explained, trying to make it sound somewhat justified but nothing I say will do that cause I know it's wrong. It's the worst thing someone can do to the person they love.
She thought for a minute then said "But see it this way Ash, if he never noticed you before then you shouldn't give him the time of day now"
"Ya but the thing is I'm afraid that it'll ruin our friendship cause he is one of my best friends"
"Really?" Amy was curious "Who is it?"
"Ken"
"I'll admit you guys would make a cute couple. But if he's a true friend then he would understand and he wouldn't let it ruin anything"
"Alright" I sighed
"But is this a situation of you not wanting to continue anything with Ken or is it, you don't know who to choose?" Amy asked
"It's the one where I don't really know who to choose"
"Alright. My suggestion stands. Even though I now know the other guy, if he didn't notice you like that before then he's just S.O.L."
"Thanks Amy. That really helps"
"No problem. Anytime" she gave me a much needed hug "But I gotta go tell everyone else about my good news" Amy smiled from ear to ear
"Alright Ames. Talk to ya later" I said as she left. She's right; Dave has always been there for me. I'm gonna have to break it off with Ken before it goes too far. So I grabbed my keys and left to go see him. This is something I have to do in person.
When I finally got there 2 hours later he wasn't there. It was just Matt and Paul and they said that him and Brian should be back soon. So I sat down with them until he got back. He looked surprised yet happy to see me.
"Hey Ash. Can you come upstairs with me for a minute?" he asked
"Sure" I said and followed him up to his room and sat down on his bed. "Ken I really need to talk to you"
"That's cool but I need to get this off my chest"
"Alright" I said uneasily
"Ash I really am sorry that I never noticed you like this before. Even though it's only been a couple weeks, I can't imagine my life without you. I bought you something" he said then reached into the blank shopping bag and brought out a long box that obviously held a necklace. He opened the box and it was a necklace and the pendant was an outlined heart with a little diamond in the middle of it where the top parts meet and it was beautiful.
"Ken you didn't have to get that" I said. Now it's gonna be a lot harder to tell him this
"Yes I did. You deserve it. I love you Ash, I really do and I'll do anything it takes for you to decide to be with just me"
Oh god. Why did he have to do this? "Ken" I whined, not sure what to say next.
"No you don't have to say anything. I don't care how long it takes, I'll wait for you" he said as he put the necklace around my neck. Then I just twirled it between my fingers for a couple minutes as all these thoughts went through my mind.
"So what did you need to tell me?" he asked as he came and sat in front of me on his bed
"Nothing I just had to come see you" I lied
"Ok" he said as he gave me a hug. Great, now what am I gonna do?
John's POV
I'm on the brink of beginning the career of my dreams and I feel horrible. Why? Because I have a soon-to-be wife and two daughters at home and one of them has autism and needs almost constant attention. I wish I could just put my career on hold for a while. But who knows when I'll get another chance like this? So I decided to go to Mark and see what he thought. "Hey Pops, I have a serious question for you"
"What's that?" he asked as he turned around to look at me.
"Ummm… do you think I'd ever get another chance like this to achieve my dream and wrestle for Vince?" I asked. Ya I said before that I'd wrestle anywhere but everybody's goal is to get to the top of whatever profession it is they choose to go into and let's face it, the WWE is and always will be the top of the wrestling world.
"I'm not sure. Why?"
"Well basically I wanna be home for Steph and the girls; especially Shelly. But I don't know if I'll ever have a chance like this again" I explained
"Well if that's what you really want to do then you should go talk to Vince and explain the situation. I'm sure he'd understand, he really likes you John so I'm pretty positive that he'll give you another chance when you're ready for it" he explained and now it's gonna help me out a lot.
"You really think so?" I asked, just to make sure.
"Ya I do" he smiled at me
"Thanks Pops" I said and went to do just that.
