Part Four: Destiny

She showed up for the wedding one year later .. But she never went inside. Instead she sat in her car, parked directly across the street from the church. She had the perfect view from there, she knew she would see the happy couple as they exited as newlyweds. She hadn't been invited anyway, but she had heard about it from some old friends. And despite her hesitations, there she was .. On their wedding day.

All to witness their destiny.

A sullen sigh escaped her, not entirely bitter .. But still. It could have been her, standing there, marrying him. But she had chosen her own destiny. She had forsaken what she could have had .. And it was all for the best. Now as she sat there, the doors to the church flung open- she knew it had been for the best. They didn't see her there and that was how she wanted it.

But destiny would not let her escape completely.

A passing glance was all it had taken- one of the wedding guests had stopped her from leaving. Asking her to join him at the reception. And she -either out of foolishness or punishment- had accepted. Fate had a cruel way of slapping her in the face.. But it would be for the best. All would come full circle, and he would know- the day she had walked out ..

It had all been for the best.

……….

He saw her as he was sitting down. He rubbed his eyes, thinking it was just another dream. She couldn't possibly be there now .. Could she? Why? Since she had left- completely disappeared .. And of all days to return? Why now? All he had wanted to ask her, all he wanted to know.. And now she was standing there. Smiling and laughing- her eyes were sparkling .. Just like he remembered.

Fate was certainly a cruel mistress that day.

He approached her, his throat dry, his stomach in knots. Everything he wanted to say to her was jumbled in his mind. His vision was swimming, flashbacks of their times together, the night before she left- the morning he woke up alone. Still he approached her- drawn to her like a moth to the flame. He could feel the questioning eyes on him as he approached- but all he could see was her. And when he finally reached his destination, one single word spilled from his lips:

Why?

Her shoulders lifted in a shrug, she seeming calm and collected. Acting as if nothing had ever happened. She told him, it was for the best .. Only for the best. That he needed someone who could really love him- someone who would truly make him happy. She smiled sadly, lifting a hand to brush her fingertips across his cheek. It was but a fleeting touch, but it burned them both- in mind and in heart. She turned his face so his eyes fell on his bride. She smiled again..

Only for the best..

And then she turned, dropping her hand as she did so- walking away from him again. She didn't want to be there, she didn't belong there. Perhaps at one time- in a not so distant past. Perhaps then, she belonged. But now? She was only an outsider looking in.

That was her destiny.

But again, fate would intervene as she tried to leave. The guest who had invited her along - the best man in the wedding- caught her by the arm. His eyes implored with her to stay .. And she slowly shook her head. It was not her place she said .. Not her place. A lonely tear slipped from her eyes, he caught it with his finger. He shook his head, telling her she didn't have to leave.

……….

(The End… just kidding! Real ending follows, and yes- all the players in the game are revealed)

Trish Stratus joined her husband to watch the woman who had walked out of his life. To watch the woman who had been her best friend. She also wanted to talk to her, but now was not the time. Now was about them. Now was about celebrating what they had together. And all because she had walked away.

This was their destiny.

Fate had stood with her as she had walked down the aisle that day. Fate had brought her to her husband's side. Time had helped Randy Orton open his eyes and see her. See her -Trish Stratus- for the woman she was. See her as a woman who loved him, who could love him..

This was their destiny.

The newlyweds watched a moment longer, one moment longer before they turned to mingle with their guests. The time would come some day, they would get the answers they desired. But that time was not now. Now, it was their time ..

And it was all working out for the best.

Another sigh -tired and defeated- escaped the redheaded woman, the woman known as Lita. She had walked out three years ago .. Walked out with no intentions of returning, no intentions of looking back. But here she was, at their wedding .. Trying so desperately to leave.

But fate had other plans that day.

He shook his head when she tried to leave again, his grip firm on her arm. She said again- it was not her place. She didn't need to be here, she shouldn't be here. Again he shook his head, and again she sighed. His hand dropped from her arm, fingers hooking beneath her chin- bringing her eyes to his.

Her place was here- with him.

John Cena held her gaze a moment longer, drowning in her hazel eyes. Hazel eyes that had haunted him, hazel eyes that he had missed. For when she had walked out that day, she had also walked out on him. Not that she had known, but it didn't matter now. She was here now and that's what mattered. His arms gathered her to him, holding her close.. Fate had brought her back.. And as her arms encircled his shoulders- she knew it had all been for the best. Here, with him ..

This was her destiny.
