Her eyes blinked as she focused them on the dresser in front of her. The room was so quiet, she didn't know if John was sleeping or not, she just remained silent in her thoughts. Julia Martin was slowly going out of her mind, she didn't know how to handle having John as a friend anymore. He was everything she wanted in a man and she couldn't grasp why she acted as if she didn't want him—she needed him and desired him, yet denied herself from having him. The door opened, drawing her attention from her thoughts as she lifted her head from the pillow and looked towards it. Suddenly, her head started to pound as the room spun around dangerously in front of her eyes.

" Shit!" Julia cursed as she held her head

" Easy Jay, the results of your drinking are taking effect." John started as he closed the door, " I got some breakfast and coffee for us."

" Did you make the coffee?" Julia asked smartly

" No smart ass. I bought it." he replied grabbing a chair and pulling it up to the bed. He rested the food on the bed and took a seat as Julia opened her bag and smiled at the contents. John knew she hated plain Waffles so he got her strawberry instead. He also picked up some scrambled eggs and a Hi-C Orange juice box since she was allergic to real orange juice. " What's wrong?" she heard John ask

" Nothing, it's just you…..knew exactly what I wanted." she replied

" Of course I would. I think that it is important that I know these things. You're my best friend." John said taking a bite from his muffin. They proceeded with having breakfast and eat in silence as neither of them knew what to say at the moment. John occasionally glanced at her as he drank his apple juice.

" Hey, John." Julia started

" Yeah?" he replied

" I'm sorry about what happened last night. I acted wrongly and shouldn't have made….advances at you." she continued

" It was the effects of alcohol Jay, I'm not mad. I'm just glad I was there to be the one who helped you." John replied

" Thank you for being a gentleman, I hate to know what would have happened if it was another guy. You're a great friend John and a wonderful person." Julia said

" Oh come on Jay, you know I'm bashful." he teased as she chuckled

" Honestly John, thank you." she replied

" It was my pleasure." John said, " But, don't do that again. My resistance level stops at level ten." Julia laughed as he had a serious expression on his face

" And you made me exceed my limit."

" Don't worry, it won't." Julia replied

When both Julia and John arrived at the arena, Julia made John promise that he wouldn't touch Jericho and get in trouble with Bischoff. As much as John wanted to attack Jericho, he promised her and agreed to do as she asked. She just wanted the night to go smoothly and end on a good note…like it ever did, but later that night, she and John were going to play poker. John thought he had game and Julia decided to make him put his money were his mouth was. John had headed off in search Shane to see what was up with him. Julia was at the convenience table picking up something to snack on when someone came up behind her. As she turned around she nearly dropped her bottle of water when none other than Chris Jericho was standing right in front of her.

" Excuse me." Julia said calmly, but he proceeded to stay in her way. She narrowed her eyes at him and looked at him giving him a warning before she said something he would be sorry for.

" Miss Martin, " Jericho paused as he looked her over—she was wearing a blank tank top, denim blazer, brown handkerchief skirt, and black heels. Her hair was down and swirled around her shoulders, " You look very nice today."

" Whatever Jericho, now excuse me." Julia replied trying to walk passed him, but he still refused to let her move

" Miss Martin, I'm shocked. Here I am trying to talk with my favorite reporter and here you are trying to walk away." Jericho said, " I mean is John calling you or something?"

" You know what Jericho you need to get out of my face, because you are two breaths away from my foot being up your ass! And I'm wearing heels today, so think before you regret." she replied putting her water back down on the table

" Now I know why the so called champ likes you, my you are a fire." he said

" Don't get burned!" Julia warned

" What if I want to get burned?" Jericho taunted as he stepped closer to her, Julia's natural response was to back away, " You know it takes a real man to notice a woman in the house of girls. So you should feel honored that I, the King of Bling would even acknowledge you." he teasingly ran his fingers down her arm. Julia watched as he suddenly traced her lips with his index finger and tried to corner her. He should have known better……Julia raised her hand and in the flash of light she slapped the taste out of Jericho's mouth.

" Don't you ever put your hand on me again." she warned starting to stomp away, but Jericho abruptly grabbed her arm and slammed her against the wall.

" You son of a…"

" Shut up little girl!" Jericho suddenly yelled at her, he raised his hand in motion as if he was about to strike her across the face. Flinching at him, he laughed at her then continued

" Don't get scared Julia, I would never lay a hand on this face. Besides your not worth scuffing my hands on. But, know this….I can have you anytime I want. Your just a woman. I'm the King of this world and not even CENA can stop that. Tell him I'll see his ass tonight personally." Julia watched quietly as he walked away and headed down the hall. After a few moments, she to headed down the hall in search of the women's locker room. She wanted to calm herself down before she met up with John. But, luck wouldn't have it happen like that. As Julia was walking she felt hands grab her shoulders and surprise her. She cried out and swung around ready to knock Jericho off his feet. But, stopped as she realized that it was John.

" Whoa, easy tiger! Just me, you know John…...Cena…..Champ." he teased before he looked at her facial expression and noticed how disrupt she was, " Jay what's wrong?"

" Nothing." Julia lied trying to take the worry off of him

" What happened?" John almost demanded

" ……Jericho, stopped me and got fresh with me. Then said that he would see you tonight and this was his world and you couldn't stop him." she replied with a sigh

" Did he hurt you?" he asked

" No, I slapped him and he got mad then slammed me against the wall." Julia replied, but that was all that John needed to hear. He looked at her before kissing her forehead lightly.

" What Jericho did was a mistake. A big mistake." John said before walking away from her

" John no!" Julia yelled as she had a good idea what he was going to do.
