Chapter 7 – Love Remains

As Adria shut the door behind her she crumbled onto the floor and cried. At one point in her life John had been her everything. The person she could talk to about anything, the person who loved her deeply, and the person she loved even more than life itself. Somewhere along the way, they grew apart and he wasn't her everything anymore. She never stopped loving him because a love like she felt couldn't just be turned on or off, it was constant. It was constant? Then, why was she trying so hard to turn off her love for John? Why couldn't she just accept it and be with him? Adria couldn't answer those questions. She was too confused about the entire situation. That was why she was leaving. She told John that she quit but really she was just taking a vacation. She needed time to just be away from John and think about everything she was feeling.

Finally Adria heard John leave her room so she unlocked the bathroom and stepped into her room. She finished packing and then left the hotel and went to the airport. She hopped on a plane and flew back to her home which was in Rhode Island. She had a really nice house right on the seacoast. It was the perfect place to be away from everything and just think.

It had been a month since Adria had started her vacation. Ever since Adria left, John had been missing her like crazy. He had actually tried finding her several times. The problem was that John didn't know about Adria's house in Rhode Island. She bought it after the two of them broke up. John had even tried calling Adria's family but they were all very tight-lipped about the situation. Adria had asked them to keep her whereabouts a secret, no matter what. John had realized after Adria left that, no matter what she said, he needed to be with her. He was determined that he could convince her that she had to be with him too. He just had to find her.

Adria had been having a very relaxing vacation. She loved the ocean, she loved being away from everything, and she lived the serenity of her home. She had also done a lot of thinking during her time off. She now knew exactly what she had to do. The hard part would be actually doing it.

A couple days later Adria was walking into the arena ready to get back to work. "Adria!" Upon hearing a woman's voice Adria turned around and smiled at what she saw.

"Hey Stephanie."

Stephanie McMahon smiled and walked right up to Adria as she grabbed her into a huge hug. "I was so glad when I heard you were getting back from your vacation tonight."

Adria broke the hug and smile. "Yeah, its good to be back."

"So have you seen him yet?" Stephanie questioned with a grin.

Adria just grinned back. "Actually, I haven't. I don't even know what I will say when I do see him."

"Just say what you feel."

"Yeah, that is easier said than done."

Stephanie just laughed. "Well to help you out, I already have a certain someone ready for photos."

Adria's jaw dropped. "Stephanie you didn't."

Stephanie grinned. "Your office for the night is just over there Ms. Brenham." Stephanie walked off grinning all the way leaving a stunned Adria standing in the middle of the floor. She left out a big sigh and walked to the door. Now she really had to follow through. It was either now or never.

John was sitting in the office waiting to get his picture taken. He was dreading every second of it. Ever since Adria left, Allison was the only promotional photographer left. John had his pictures taken once since they broke up and Allison wouldn't stop saying how sorry she was and how much she missed him. It made him sick every time he had to be in the same room with her. He was certain this shoot would be just as much fun. He almost didn't want to look up when he heard the door opening but he couldn't stop himself. He looked up and was amazed to find not Allison but Adria standing in front of him. At first John couldn't say anything, he was in too much shock. He had so many things he needed to say to her but no words came out. Finally he got his words back. "What are you doing here?"

"I believe I work here." Adria said with a smirk.

"Yeah, well I believe a month ago when you left, you told me you quit." John stood up from the chair he was sitting in.

"I do recall having a conversation with you something along those lines." Adria walked over to the camera equipment and started setting it up the way she wanted it.

John just watched her for a couple minutes. John's gaze was sending shocks through Adria's body. He walked over to her and grabbed her hands so she would stop working and pay attention. Then he lifted her chin so that she was looking at him. "Okay, so I ask again what are you doing here?"

Adria let out a deep sigh. She didn't even know where to begin. "I lied to you about quitting." Adria stopped and looked at John's face for any change in expression. When she didn't get one she continued. "I didn't really quit. I only took a vacation. I had to get away to think." Adria pulled her hands out of John's hands then walked away as she ran her fingers through her hair.

"May I ask what you had to think about?" John's gaze followed Adria as she paced around the room.

"You." Adria said barely above a whisper.

"Excuse me?" John asked since he didn't hear Adria the first time.

"You." She yelled. "Alright." Adria sighed. "I had to get away to think about you and all of my screwed up feelings for you."

"Oh." That was all John could muster.

"I've spent over a year loving you no matter what you put me through and all you can muster is 'oh'?" Adria was completely exasperated now. "That is just awesome. You know, maybe this whole month of thinking was a waste. Its not like you are ever going to change and actually treat me the way I should be treated."

That comment gave John back his ability to talk. "Now wait, Adria listen. I've been thinking a lot too. I tried to tell you when you left that I loved you and that people can change. While you were gone I even tried to find you but your family wasn't very helpful." He moved a grabbed Adria's hands. "I love you and I don't want you to leave me again."

Tears started to fill Adria's eyes. John brushed them away and kissed away the ones that had already fallen down her face. "John, I love you too. Through everything, I never stopped loving you. I just put up a wall so you couldn't hurt me again. I don't want to be hurt again."

"I know baby. I won't hurt you." John pulled her into his arms and just held her. All the fighting just melted away and they both knew everything would be alright. John released Adria and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a ring box. "I've been carrying this around for the past 4 months. That night we broke up was the night I wanted to propose. I knew we had been fighting but I thought it was because you were just tired of me not committing. I realize now that it was a whole lot more than that. I couldn't part with it because I never stopped loving you either." John kneeled down on one knee. "Adria, will you marry me." Adria pulled him up and kissed him with all the love for him that she had been holding inside. John returned the kiss with as much if not more love himself. "So, I guess that means, yes?"

Adria just smirked. "No, that means, hell yes!"

John just laughed and kissed her again. He now knew that they would be okay.

It had been 4 years since that day. Adria rolled over in bed that morning and just smiled at the sleeping form of her husband. She kissed his forehead and then started to get out of bed. John surprised her by pulling her back to him. Adria just laughed as John started kissing all over Adria's neck and collar bone. "A man definitely gets used to waking up to this every morning." John grinned.

Adria just laughed. "You better watch it. This was exactly how we got Jaylin."

"Yeah, but was that really such a bad thing?" John continued kissing her neck and moved up to her earlobe.

"Not now, but you didn't go through pregnancy and birth. Now, did you?"

John just laughed. "No, I guess I didn't."

Adria got out of bed and walked down the hall to her daughter's bedroom. She peeked in and was shocked to see Jaylin still fast asleep. Jaylin was usually up at the crack of dawn. Jaylin was almost 2 years old now and a complete daddy's girl. John spoiled her so much but it was too cute to not allow.

John and Adria had gotten married after being engaged for about six months. They had been a very happy married couple and were even happier when they found out that Adria was pregnant. The marriage has been amazing but like every marriage it its rough spots. The two have always worked through those spots though and come out just fine in the process. Adria credits this ability to watching Randy's continued devotion to his wife Jessica. Yes, that's right, Randy Orton got married, and yes John and Randy were able to become friends again. It's a long story but Adria figured that if someone like Randy could make marriage work then anyone could make marriage work. So, it seems like everything worked out for the best.

Adria had asked John to not think of her but lucky for her, that would never happen. It just so happened that Adria would never stop thinking about John either. That was why their marriage worked out so well. They were both madly in love with each other, no matter what.
