RAW
Baltimore MD
Melony sat in her rental car in the parking garage of the arena. Fully aware that she had missed her match. She knew Eric was probably pissed and worried shitless at the same time. But she just couldn't go in there. She supposed she could call someone and let them know she was ok, but she just couldn't bring herself to pick up the phone. The only thing she could do was sit there and read the letter from Chris, over and over again.
Dear Mel,
You know I'm not good at writing letters, but I had to let you know what's in my heart. Things haven't been going so good between us lately, and it's my fault. I know I have too much on my plate. I should be more focused on us right now. I've decided to quit the band for awhile and cut down on my WWE schedule, I figure I can cut out some house shows to make more time for you. I want to be the man that stands by you and supports you. So far I haven't been that man. I'm sorry Mel. This is 'our' life, not just mine. I know I have neglected you and our relationship. I've been a real ass clown and I'm so sorry. I love you Mel, with all my heart. Please forgive me. I'm going to do better sweetheart. I love you! Chris
Mel folded up the letter and laid it on the passenger seat. She opened the little, black box and stared at the diamond engagement ring. Her mind raced back and forth. What was Chris trying to do to her? She finally decides to end things with him to be with Hunter, and Chris does a 180 degree turnaround, making her doubt everything. Did she still love Chris? Her heart was torn into pieces. She had to make a decision. Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock on her window. It was Chris standing there with a shy smile. She got out of her car, and gave him a hug. Chris held her for a minute, then gently pushed her back so he could look into her eyes. He got down on one knee and took her hand. "So...Will you marry me?"
With tears in her eyes, she looked at him speechless. She didn't know what to say.
"Well?" He prompted. Mel just stood there silent as tears ran down her face.
Hunter came walking out to his car, when he saw Mel standing there crying. He went running over to her, but stopped dead in his tracks when he saw Chris. Then he realized that Jericho was proposing. Heartache overcame him, then anger hit. Chris had no right to her. She wanted to be with him, H thought. Against better judgement, Hunter walked up to Mel and Chris. He flexed his pectoral muscles as anger surged through him. He looked at Mel. "You alright?" Tears were flowing down her beautiful face as she just stood there, not saying a word. Chris stood up and shoved Hunter. Back off Hunter! Mel is not your concern!"
"Keep your damn hands off me Jericho! Mel is my concern, because I love her!"
Realizing what H had just confessed, made Mel cry harder. She wished she could just disappear. She needed time to sort out her feelings.
Chris had heard enough from Hunter. "That does it! You ass is mine!" He screamed, as he attacked Hunter. Jericho speared Hunter, causing him to stumble backwards, but he recovered and the two exchanged blows. Chris nailed Hunter with a right to the head and Hunter hit Jericho with a right to the nose. They kept pounding away on each other. Mel finally snapped out of it and tried to get between the two. "Stop it! Please!" But neither if them paid her any attention, as they continued to beat the hell out of one another. She tried again to get in between then, and one of them accidentally knocked her down. Eric came running over and helped her up. He made sure she was ok, and got her out of the way. She leaned against her car and wiped the blood off of her scraped knee and elbow. She watched Eric tear the two men apart. Hunter had a gash over his left eye that was bleeding profusely. Chris's nose was pouring blood as well. Her heart couldn't take anymore. As Eric lectured the two and tried to calm them, Mel jumped in her car and drove off.
