The day Cena fell in Love Part 7
The reunion
" CASSIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Yelled John as he ran to her. He dodged René who tried to stop him. He paid no attention to everyone else who fell silent when Cassie stood up and looked at him. He ran until he could lifted her in his arms and hold her tight. He didn't care about the tears he felt running down his cheeks. He only cared about Cassie, about the fact she was there. He could feel the warmth of her body, her fingers thrusting his hair, her perfume. She was really there. It was his Cassie. He kissed all her tears away, kissed her everywhere his mouth could reach, trying to speak in the same time. They were both crying and laughing at the same time. René and another crew member managed to get everyone out of there. They understood a miracle was going on. The reunion of lovers. René sat on a bench outside the arena and smiled.
When John was certain that Cassie was really there with him he loosen his grasp around her. He was now sure she couldn't disapear again. But wait a second. Now everything was clear, all the coincidences of the evening. Cassie was the Miss Larivière owning this federation. That's why there was a tribute for Sarah tonight. He wasn't going mad after all, she was probably the one he saw at the graveyard too. Why hadn't he listen to his heart and ran to her earlier? It didn't matter anymore, she was now where she always belonged, in his arms.
Cassie couldn't believe it. John Cena, the love of her life was in her arena and now holding her against him. How was that possible he was here? More, how come he acted like he was happy to see her? But she didn't want to ask questions, destiny had reunited them that was enough for her. Her past two years of nightmare were gone forever now that John had been brought back to her. She took a step back and looked into his eyes. Those beloved eyes of his. He smiled at her and wiped his tears from his face. She realised she had been crying too. But it was when her knee hurted a little that she felt she had to ask him THE question.
" John? John what are you doing here? What about that Dawn?"
" Dawn, Dawn? Yeah, What about her?"
" Well, weren't you with her for the past year? I saw you together on TV.."
" What do you mean you saw me on TV? It was just a storyline for the show anyway. But how come you saw me on TV? You knew where I was and what I was doing all along?"
" Of course I did! John, don't you know you're the one I'll love until the day I die? I always kept track of you, I couldn't help myself. I needed to have you in my life somehow. Even if it was seing you with someone else. I only wanted to see you happy."
John took a step back the expression on his face hardening.
" What do you mean? You thought this was real and yet you gave up? "
" Well you were so mad at me that day in the airport John. I heard those messages you left me. I honestly thought you moved on. It's understandable you know. You deserved the best."
" I wanted you Cassandra. I was going out of my mind without you! Can't you see that? Didn't you ever thought one second that I deserved to know where you were as well? It's been four freaking years that we haven't saw each other. Two years that we haven't spoke. I'm begginning to think that you were confortable with that fact. Did you disapeared on purpose? Doesn't Sarah's death mean nothing to you?"
Too late, John realised that his temper had got the best of him. He should have never said Sarah's name. It wasn't right on Cassie. Tears ran down her face. He felt so mad at himself. Why had he reminded her of that? But he was right in a way. If she really loved him, why hadn't she called him back? Étienne said he killed her. Why didn't she ever prouved him wrong? She wasn't dead, she was there alive right in front of him. He was more confused than ever. He been thinking about her everyday for the past two years, grieving her. And all this time she was alive, watching him on TV, never thinking of just letting him know she was fine.
Cassie sat back on her bench when John spoke of Sarah. That was her guilty cord. The fact that Sarah died because of her. The fact that almost threw her back into depression. despair overcome her thoughts. Why? Why was John here? Why was he playing with her? John knelt in front of her and took one of her hand in his.
" Cassie, listen to me. You have to be honest with me, this could decide the rest of our lives. Did you made the decision never to let me know you were alive? Was it your way to tell me it was over between us? Is that why you never told me Étienne didn't killed you?" He tried to ignore the way she shivered at the mention of Étienne's name. God, was he a jerk tonight or what? But he needed to know.
Cassie looked away, unable to answer. How could she put in words how destroyed she was when they finally found her locked in the closet? She was barely alive and had had to go through a year and a half of intense health care to get a life back. Who was she to be running behind him? She knew she had broke his heart at the airport. She didn't had the courage to tell him the thruth, it was already too late. Besides, who could have believed such a story? Yes, she had gave up, not wanting to be hurt again. But why did he say he thought Étienne had killed her? How could he know that? She was so confused. She didn't knew what she wanted anymore. She whispered.
" I didn't want to ruin your life John. You seemed happy so I wanted you to have the life you deserved. You don't need someone like me in your life. You deserve the best. And that's not something I can give you."
John almost felt his heart breaking in two when he heard her. He had his answer, she didn't loved him anymore. He let go of her hand. He was a fool to have hope. But he loved her so much. Why can't they have a second chance? Faith brang us face to face it must be for a reason. Not to tear each other apart, he couldn't believe it. But he would respect her choice. He would never force himself on her. He wouldn't even ever know what really happened to her. He doubted this was a plan of hers though. He knew there was no malice inside Cassie's heart. Fighting back his tears, he wouldn't show her how much he hurt, he got up. He kissed her forehead and slowly walked away. When he was out of sight he allowed his tears to ran down his face......
When John kissed her, Cassie felt more pain than she ever felt in all her life. Something had broke inside her. Had she acted right? Should she had fight for John? Maybe he would have been able to understand what she came through? She really believed he didn't want nothing to do with her anymore. Until he showed up in front of her. But he was as surprised to see her as she was. She wished she knew what to do. But as she saw him got out of the arena, she released her tears. He was everything she ever wished for. He was the one that helped through her recovery. The thought of him had give her the will to fight. She didn't have the right to let him go. But he had left so easily. Maybe the years had washed away his feelings for her? She needed a sign of what to do. Maybe it wasn't too late yet?
She lifted her gaze as she heard footsteps. Someone was coming her way. Oh, please let it be John, I'll tell him everything, she thought..................I love him so much..............
A/N: This chapter was really hard because I wanted to capture all the emotions...Im not sure I did it justice but be ready to know what's next. Don't worry, this is not the end....
