A/N: I only own Iris. Keep up the reviews if you want the story to be updated.
I told Randy the news and the girls. Everyone understood my reasoning but no one wanted me to do it. I just told them I hat to. I let them know they could e-mail or call me when ever. I didn't talk to Dave.
The show went over really well. I was GM and Vine appointed himself GM since he didn't like how it was running. I was glad that he was ok with the entire situation.
I left right after my match. I fought Randy, thanks to luck of the draw, and he won. I went to the hospital.
John had called me earlier and asked me if I would take him to his house in Connecticut tomorrow. I agreed since I felt partly responsible.
I found his room and went in. They were going to discharge him. The nurse taught me how to clean the wound and change the bandages. John had over 200 stitches in his back. He was bruised around his ribs and his shoulders. The doctor told him he could no wrestle for another month.
I took him home and helped him to lie down. I felt like it was my fault and John knew something was wrong.
"What is it, baby?" he asked me.
"Shouldn't I be asking you that?" I asked him. He smiled at me.
"I guess." he said.
"How do you feel?" I asked him.
"I have been better." he said.
"I am sorry." I said. He smiled at me.
"Baby, I know this isn't your fault. I know that what Dave did was not because you made him. I only wish you hadn't told him." he said to me. I looked into his eyes as I sat next to him.
"I didn't tell him. He overheard you the morning of the funeral." I said.
"Oh, I don't hold you responsible at all. I know that Dave was over-protective and jealous of me and Randy being friends with you. He just brought up a subject that I didn't like and I snapped. I just hit him. I didn't want to hear him say that. I don't know how you are dating him." he said. I sighed and ran my hand through his hair.
"I am not dating him, anymore." I said. John looked at me.
"Why not?" he asked me.
"I couldn't take it. I didn't want to be controlled. I thought I love him, but I loved who I thought he was." I said. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. I blink back the rest of them, but they fell down my cheeks. John wiped them away.
"Don't worry, baby. He won't get near you. I won't let him and I doubt Randy will either. You can just room next to us from now on." he said. I heard him say that and it brought more tears to my face. He saw my reaction.
"What?" he asked.
"I am not touring anymore." I whispered.
"Why not?" he asked trying to sit up. He groaned.
"John, you have to stay laying down." I said and helped him to lay back down.
"Why, baby?" he asked me.
"I can't do it right now. I am still going to write, but I can't tour. I have to get away from it." I said. He nodded.
"I understand, but am I still going to be able to see you?" he asked me.
"Yeah, I will visit and I will be in Stacy and Chris' wedding. I am still going to see ya'll. You have my phone number, just call." I said. He smiled.
"Alright." he said and yawned.
"Time to sleep." I said. I helped him under the covers and tucked him in. He smiled at me.
"Are you going to sleep in here tonight?" he asked me.
"I can." I said. I was a little unsure of why he wanted me to.
"Please?" he asked. I nodded. I slipped out of my shoes and slid into the bed next to him.
I fell asleep and few minutes later.
John POV
I woke up the next morning. I was in so much pain and I had to pee. I tried to get up and couldn't. I really had to pee. I looked over at Iris. She was beautiful. I nudged her. She groaned and laid there.
"Iris?" I said.
"Yeah, John?" she asked as she looked at me. She still had her eyes closed.
"Can you help me?" I asked her. She opened her eyes and looked at me like I was crazy.
"I really have to pee." I said.
"Oh!" she said. She got up and helped me up. She helped me into the bathroom. I used it and she helped me to the sink. I brushed my teeth while she started the shower. She brushed her teeth.
"I am going to take it off so you can take a shower." she said.
She started to unravel the bandage. She was a upset. I hadn't seen my back, but I knew it hurt. She took the bandages off and helped me to get my clothes off. I stepped in the shower. I was slowly washing off when I about fell. Iris ran over and caught me. She was soaking wet.
I looked at her and laughed. She soaked and her clothes were like a second skin.
"You ok, John?" she asked me. She didn't care that she was wet. She just wanted to know that I was ok.
"I am fine. Are you ok?" I asked her.
"Yeah, I just wanted to make sure you didn't fall." she said.
She finished helping me and took a shower. We got into more clothes and got ready to leave.
Iris drove to my house. She arrived at the house exactly 2 hours later. She helped me in. Matt was waiting on us.
"Hey." Matt said. He smiled at Iris.
"Hey Matt." she said. He gave her a hug.
"How ya feeling, bro?" he asked me. I shot him the bird.
Iris showed Matt how to change my bandages. She was getting ready to leave when it began to pour.
"Damn it!" she said.
"Guess your staying here." Matt said.
"I don't want to impose you." she said.
"Iris, just stay." I said. She sighed and finally agreed.
She cooked us dinner that night. She was a great cook.
I slept in the recliner, in my room, that night. Matt slept in a guest room and Iris slept in my bed. I loved the site of her in my bed.
The next morning Matt fixed breakfast. Iris ate with us before she left. She gave Matt and I a hug before leaving.
We watched her drive away.
"You just let the best thing in your life walk out your door." Matt said.
"Thanks for reminding me." I said and sat back down.
