Chapter Sixty-Five: Jessica's P.O.V.

"Goodbye, Dave," I told him and walked out of the locker room. I had no clue where I was going, just away from there.

I kept walking down the hall and to gorilla position. There was a still a job to be done, considering Smackdown's writer decided not to show. I was standing in front of the monitor, watching Kurt and Eddie's match and thinking about what had just transpired, when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I turned to see both Adam and John.

"I told you I'd be here for you," Adam whispered and pulled me into a hug.

I thought I had no more tears to cry, but I was wrong. I began to sob uncontrollably once again as Adam held me in his arms.

"He didn't hit you did he?" John asked after a few minutes.

"No," I answered, looking up at him and noticing the black eye that was starting to form. I pushed away from Adam and walked over to John. "What an asshole! He had no reason to take his anger out on you!"

"It's alright, J. Don't worry about it."

"No, John, it's not okay. Just because he's pissed off at me, it doesn't give him any right to make everybody else's life a living hell."

"Well, he'll get what's coming to him in the end," Adam spoke up.

"Guys, I don't want either of you to start anything with him, okay?"

They both looked at each other, not saying a word. "Guys! Promise me you won't do anything."

"Alright," they both answered.

"And John," I began. "Please don't anyone that he did this to you. I don't want him to get into anymore trouble."

"Why are you still protecting his ass?" Adam asked. "After the hell he's put you through, you still defend him?"

"Well, I'm sorry, Adam. I can't just throw all the feelings I have for him out the window, just like that. It's not that easy."

"I know it's not easy, believe me. I've been trying to get rid of my feelings, and I still haven't succeeded."

"Calm down," John stated, quietly. "J has had enough crap for one day, she doesn't need that on top of it."

But Adam's words stuck with me. He still loved me.

Eddie's music rang through the arena and he and Kurt soon made their way backstage. Angle kept walking but Eddie noticed John and myself.

"Hey, holmes," he greeted John. He then looked at me and must've noticed that I had been crying. "What's wrong, mamacita?"

I didn't answer.

"Is it either on of these two goons? Because if it is, I swear chica, I'll take care of them for you."

I couldn't help but smile at Eddie as I shook my head. "No, it's Dave. We broke up."

A pained expression came across Eddie's face. "Oh, I'm sorry, Jessie. Just remember, it's his loss, not yours. He didn't deserve you, especially if he made you cry," he told me, giving me a hug. "Now, you'll be okay. You're a beautiful mamacita. You'll find someone new and better, I promise."

"Thanks Eddie," I said, giving him a small grin.

"No problem. Just don't tear yourself up over it, okay?"

"Alright," I answered as he walked away.

"Jess?" Adam questioned. "I don't mean to seem nosey, but what did Dave say to you?"

I sighed deeply before relaying the argument between Dave and I to Adam and John. John seemed completely shocked that Dave would believe that I was cheating on him with John, but Adam didn't.

"And now," I continued. "I have no place to stay. My house is sold and all my belongings are at Dave's."

"Well, I can talk Orton into going and getting your stuff from Dave's house," John said. "And then, you're going to come back to Boston with me. As long as it's all right with you, of course."

"I don't really have a choice, do I?"

"Actually, you have the choice of staying with John or me," Adam stated.

I looked between them, both of them wanted to help so much, but I couldn't choose one over the other. "I'll think about it. For right now, I need a hotel room and I think Stacy has an extra bed available so I will ask her about that."

They both nodded before John spoke up again. "You're going to be alright, J."

"Yeah," Adam agreed. "And Eddie's right. You shouldn't beat yourself up about it. It's Dave's loss. You can move on without him."

They were right, I could move on. But how long it would take, I had no idea.
