Disclaimer: As much as I wished I owned John Cena I don't. I don't own anyone you recognize even though it'd fuckin rock if I did. I only own Delaney and Jessica owns herself. I know Dave is on Smackdown now but in my story he is still on RAW.
Chapter 7
"Because your stupid ass cousin is gonna do something stupid!"
"What? Him wanting Jessica back is stupid?"
"Did you forget he was dating Ashley for the past six months?"
"No I didn't. But he made a mistake and he wants to make it up to her. He wants to be with her."
"Well that's too damn bad isn't it?"
"So I did the same thing with you! I cheated on you and you forgave me and gave me a chance!"
"Yeah but it was once. You weren't dating the girl for six months while you were with me did you?"
"What if I did?"
Delaney looked at John in shock.
"Please tell me that's a rhetorical question and you didn't mean that."
John looked at his fiancé and could tell what she was thinking.
"No I didn't mean that! I just don't see what is so bad about him wanting to make up for his mistakes."
"John put yourself in Jessica's shoes. Say the person you loved more than anything broke up with you and to just add to the broken heart you already had they then told you that they'd been seeing someone else for the last six months of your two-year relationship. Would you want them back?"
"Probably not."
"Exactly!"
"Well shit Delaney you had no right threatening him!"
"Jessica is my best friend. I thought she was one of yours too."
"She is but he's my family and soon to be yours!"
"That may be true but still. I meant what I said. If he fucks up what her and Dave are starting to work towards I will kick his ass. She'd do the same for me! Hell your ass got off lucky when I didn't tell her what you did."
"Are we gonna keep brining that up?"
"You're the one who brought it up first John!"
"So what every time we fight is it gonna get thrown back in my face?"
"John read my lips! YOU BROUGHT IT UP NOT ME!"
John looked at her and felt his anger start boiling over.
"Your anger isn't even totally about Jess and Trademarc is it?"
"Well shit now that you bring that up no it isn't."
"Well then why don't you tell me what you're really mad about?"
"John I am tired of every time we try to go out something else comes up. I understood that I wouldn't get to see you every day when I got with you. I knew I'd only see you when you had a day or two off or when I came to visit you…but fuck John I don't even see you then. You're either always in the studio, out with your cousin Trademarc and the guys, or you've got something going on."
"Like I said you knew what you were getting into when you started dating me. You still knew that when you agreed to marry me. There's nothing I can do."
"Tell me something John…once we get married is it still gonna be like this? What about when we have children? Are they gonna grow up without a father?"
John really felt his anger boiling now.
"That's not fair Delaney."
"I think I deserve an answer to that question."
"Oh you deserve something all right. You know what…maybe you're right. Maybe we shouldn't be together or even get married. Maybe we made a mistake when we got together."
Delaney looked at John in shock. She'd never said all of that.
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me Delaney."
"Is that what you want John?"
John didn't even hear the hurt in her voice due to the anger flowing through him.
"Yeah…"
John then left the hotel room slamming the door as he left. Delaney slowly nodded even though he couldn't see her. She then gathered her bags and began to walk out. She stopped and pulled out a piece of hotel stationary. She scribbled a note to him and called down to the front desk to get them to call her a cab. When she made it down to the lobby she could see John out of the corner of her eye sitting in the bar at the hotel. She then felt someone walk up next to her. She looked to her right and found Jessica standing next to her.
"You're leaving?"
"Yeah…"
Jessica nodded and while the two were standing outside, Delaney noticed a cab still hadn't arrived for her.
"Dave offered to drive us to the airport."
"How…"
"We could hear you two arguing. I had a feeling you'd wanna leave so while Dave called the airport, I packed my bags."
Delaney thanked her friend, looked up to see Dave had loaded their bags into the trunk, and got into the car. The next day she found herself and Jessica packing her stuff up. Her brother Rob, DJ Chaos, and some of her other friends were helping her move back into the second bedroom in the house she used to share with Jessica. Delaney heard a familiar song playing on the radio as she took one look around the bedroom she used to share with John and began to cry as she listened to it. Jessica walked in the bedroom where Delaney was looking around just as George Strait's 'If I Know Me' just finished.
"Come on Dee. Everything's all packed and ready to go."
Delaney nodded slowly and left the room with her friend. Later that next week, John made his way to his house. He couldn't believe what had happened. He noticed nothing looked different really and began to hope that maybe she hadn't left after all. He remembered back to when he returned to the hotel room hoping she'd still be there. All he found was a note. He fished into his pocket and took out the note and began to read it again.
My stuff will be out by the time you get to your house.
He took another look at the note. If it wasn't in her handwriting he wouldn't of known who it was from. He cringed at reading the part saying your house. It hadn't said home or our house…it'd said your house. When he entered the bedroom he noticed the closet door was open. He knew then she was gone. He heard the faint sounds of the radio playing and turned around. The small clock radio that they used as an alarm clock was playing a country song. He knew she'd definitely been there. He began to listen to the next song that played and heard the DJ say it was Terri Clark's 'When We Had It Bad'. Meanwhile in Boston, Delaney was listening to the same song as she was placing all the pictures of her and John in a box. John and Delaney both agreed in their minds it was better when they had it bad. Neither knew how things had gotten to how they were. But they both knew they wanted it back to how it was. They just didn't know how it was going to work. Neither knew how the other felt. And Delaney knew one thing that John didn't.
"Dee! Come on! You have an appointment with Dr. Larson!"
Delaney rubbed her hand over her stomach and weakly smiled.
"Coming Jess!"
As Delaney walked into the living room to leave with Jess, she thanked the lord that their house was a one-story house.
"When are you gonna tell him Dee?"
Delaney looked at Jessica as they sat in the waiting room at Dr. Larson's office.
"He'll find out when he goes to the studio…"
"What do you mean?"
"Chaos is the one who had to take me to the doctor last week remember? You know as soon as he sees John he's gonna open his mouth."
"That sucks."
"Yeah well a part of me wouldn't be surprised if he showed up here. But…"
"The other part of you doesn't think he will…"
"Yeah. I still love him Jess. I know if he asked me for another chance I would give him one. I hate that."
"That's how it is when you're in love though Dee."
"Yeah but I think the only reason why he'd ask me for another chance would be because of the baby."
