"He did what?" Molly asked in disbelief. She was sitting on the bed in Jackie's hotel room listening to her friend tell her story.

"I can't believe it Mol. He broke up with me just because I didn't want to marry him. I told him we were not ready, that it was too fast, but he just accused me of not loving him." Jackie sobbed while Molly handed her a tissue.

"The nerve of him. You don't need a guy like him. You deserve better. You're too good for him."

"But I love him!" Jackie cried while Molly patted her back sympathetically.

"You didn't use to be like this. Remember the old you? The one who was independent and didn't need a man to make her happy. You were fine before him and you'll be fine now," Molly assured her best friend.

Suddenly Jackie stood up, a look of determination on her face.

"You're right. I don't need him to survive. I'm strong and can make it on my own. I was fine without him and I will be fine now," she repeated Molly's words.

"That's the spirit," Molly cheered, happy that her friend's bubbly personality and confidence was back.


Randy walked through the arena despairingly. Many noticed the Evolution member's sadness and wondered what was wrong. Nobody knew about the breakup...yet.

"Hey, Randy. What's up?" Hunter asked as he approached him.

"Nothing," he lied. He didn't want Hunter to know that he had broken up with Jackie because it was too painful to talk about it.

HHH frowned. He knew something was wrong. The only time Randy was silent was when he was depressed about something.

"I know when you're lying. What's really bothering you?"

Randy sighed. He knew Hunter wouldn't give up until he got an answer.

"I broke up with Jackie," Randy explained.

"Why?" HHH asked. He thought Randy's relationship with the diva was going well.

"I proposed to her and she rejected me."

"And?"

"And that's it," Randy replied lamely. It did sound pretty ridiculous.

"So you broke up with her just because she didn't want to marry you?" Hunter asked unbelievingly.

Randy nodded. The way Hunter responded made it sound like it was his fault.

HHH shook his head.

"I hate to break it to you man, but that is the most ridiculous reason to break up with someone I have ever heard. So she doesn't want to marry you yet. Maybe she just needs time. You two have only been dating for two months. I don't see the reason to rush."

"Funny that is what Batista said," Randy muttered.

"Listen to me. Go find Jackie before it's too late," Hunter advised.

Randy nodded and went to find Jackie.


"Are you sure you want to go out there today?" Molly asked worriedly.

Jackie nodded.

"I have to or else I won't be able to get over it. The last thing I need is for people to be talking."

Molly looked at her friend admiringly. She was so strong, mentally and emotionally. Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Jackie went to answer it.

"What are you doing here?" she asked coldly.

"We need to talk," Randy said.

"There is nothing for us to talk about," she replied coolly. She was about to shut the door when his hand blocked it from closing.

"Please," he begged.

Reluctantly she looked at Molly who got the message.

"I think I'll leave you two alone." She walked out and gave Randy a look when she passed him.

Jackie opened the door wider so Randy could get in.

"Jackie," Randy walked over to give her a hug when she backed away.

"We're over, remember? And you know what? I'm glad. I was fine without you and I'll be fine now." She crossed her arms and looked away.

"You don't mean that," Randy whispered, hurt.

"Before I was independent and didn't need a man to make me happy. And ever since I was with you, I'm like every diva here. So disgustingly in love. It's sickening," she retorted.

"Were you really happy? Or was there an empty hole inside of you that needed to be filled? You wanted, needed to be love."

Jackie glared at him angrily. How dare he tell her what she was feeling.

"What do you know? I'm not lonely!" she snapped.

"Really? Look me in the eye, and tell me you don't need me." Randy lifted her chin so she looked directly into his eyes.

"I don't need you," she finally spoke softly.

"Okay if that's how you feel..." Randy turned around and left, the sound of the door closing echoed in the locker room.

"I'm sorry Randy. But I don't want to be hurt again. I can't give you that chance," she murmured.
