A few months passed. Alexandria and John were at her house. It was the middle of the night. Alexandria woke up and John wasn't beside her.
"John?" She said. He didn't answer.
Alexandria got up, put John's shirt on and went downstairs. She saw the kitchen light was on and went in the room. John was sitting at the kitchen island in just his boxers. She could tell something was bothering him.
"Hey." She said.
He looked at her. "Hey."
"Did you have another nightmare?"
"Yeah."
"Are you ok?"
"Not really."
"Wanna talk about it?"
"My nightmares have been kicking up." "I think it's because Sherri's movie is premiering soon." "I don't know how I'm gonna handle watching it." "I know to everyone else it's just a movie but I know want really happened." "I know how stupid it sounds."
"No." "Not at all." "This is a difficult time for you baby."
"Part of me wishes I didn't have to go the premiere."
"We don't have to."
"I have to." "I was her husband."
"I'll be right there with you the whole time."
"I know." He went up to her. "That's the only that'll keep me going." "I just want to clear my mind." He kissed her. She kissed him back. He picked her up off the ground.
"Are you sure?" She mumbled against his lips.
"Yes." He started going upstairs with her. "I want you." When they got upstairs he put her down on the bed underneath him. He looked down at her "I love you so much Alexandria."
"I love you too John." They kissed.
A few days later Alexandria and John were in John's car, outside of the cemetery Sherri was buried in.
"Do you want me to wait in the car?"
"No, come with me." John got the flowers he bought to put on Sherri's grave and they got out of the car.
They got to Sherri's grave.
"Hi Sherri." He bent down to put the flowers on her grave. "I want to introduce you to someone." "This is Alexandria."
"Hi Sherri it's nice to meet you."
"Tomorrow everyone will finally know your story Sherri." "I love you." As soon as he said that he looked Alexandria. "I'm sorry."
"You don't have to be sorry." "It's ok."
The next evening Alexandria and John were in a hotel room. Alexandria went into the bedroom where John was.
"Are you ready John?"
"Yeah." He looked sick. "My stomach's in knots."
She hugged him. "It's gonna be ok baby." She kissed him.
They were watching a screening of the movie. As it was coming up to the part where Vincent was about to kill Sherri, John gripped Alexandria's hand hard. She felt so bad for him in that moment.
He was quiet on the car ride back to the hotel. They'd just gotten back to the hotel.
"Are you ok John?" She asked.
"No." He hugged her tightly. "I just want to get in bed and hold you."
"Ok.
They got ready for bed. She got in bed and snuggled up to him. He held her just as tight as he hugged her.
"I love you Alexandria."
"I love you too John." John laid there holding her, knowing he didn't know what he would do if anything happened to Alexandria.
