Yay! John is still the Champ... Does little victory dance. Ok now that we got that over on with the story.
John was walking down the hallway towards his dressing room when he heard someone singing. He followed the sound till he found where it was coming from. Ashley had headphone on and was singing.
"If I should stay I would only be in your way. So I'll go but I know I'll think of you every step of the way. And I... will always love you, oohh will always love you. You my darling you mmm-mm. Bittersweet memories. That is all I'm taking with me. So good-bye. Please don't cry .We both know I'm not what you, you need And I... Will always love you I... Will always love you You, ooh"
John listened to the words and it was almost like she was singing the words to him is that how she really felt, like he was too good for her. She continued to sing her could hear that he voice was broken probably from crying for long periods of time. Maybe she felt the same way he did. He couldn't forgive her right now and maybe he never could but right now it hurt too much to try.
Later that night Candice was flirting with John. He wasn't into it at all he didn't want to date or even look at other women right now. Out of the corner of his eye he could see Ashley walking his way. He decided he wanted to hurt her like she had hurt him. Without thinking about it he pulled Candice into his arms and began kissing her. When they stopped he locked eyes with Ashley, he could see the hurt and anger in them. She started to walk away and John's heart fell he felt so guilty afterwards.
Candice was surprised but she like the kiss none the less. She continued to talk to him but he wasn't listening all he could think about was Ashley it got so bad he couldn't have a conscious thought without her. He had to find her and explain but even then he didn't think she would talk to him.
Ashley was curled up on her leather couch crying, she didn't really care because she had a promo in a half hour so she needed to be in hair and makeup in 20, she could cry to her heart's content and the go get all pretty.
"Ashley we have to talk about... I'll come back later" he said heading for the door.
"It's ok Eric you know that this makes you happy you hate John and you hate me so is this what you want knowing that I am miserable and he has moved on"
"Not many people know this but I have a daughter your age" he said.
"Really?" Ashley asked.
"Yeah her name is Morgan, the reason I'm telling you this is because I don't think it is right for any woman to have to cry over a man" he said "and as far as not liking you, if you keep lover boy away from me then I think we can get along fine"
"Eric you got yourself a deal" Ashley said smiling.
"Ok now down to business the writers want to start a feud between John and A.J. Styles who has just been signed to Raw from TNA" Eric said.
"Wait Allie is joining Raw I'm going to kill him for not telling me" Ashley said.
"You are friends with him?" Eric asked.
"Yeah have been for a while" Ashley said.
"Well then think about it and get back to us" Eric said.
"Ok , oh and by the way I'm leaving tonight after the show and I'm taking my kids on vacation for 2 weeks it's already cleared with Vince" she said. "so you are on your own next week"
"Oh goodie" Eric said. "what can I put John through without getting in trouble"
"I don't care just remember he is the father of my children so don't kill him or have him hurt himself seriously" Ashley said.
"Yeah, yeah spoil all my fun" Eric said.
"Eric before you go why is it that you and John hate each other?" she asked.
"It's a long story I'll tell you another time" he said.
She had about 5 minutes before she had to go to hair and make up so she decided enough moping. She had just left her locker room and started to walk down the hall when she heard John calling her name.
"Mr Cena what can I do for you?" she asked in a icy tone.
John took notice to the tone of her voice and the fact that she had called him Mr Cena, she must have been beyond pissed.
"I wanted to talk to you" he said.
"Well I have somewhere to be" she said.
"Come on Shel don't be like that" he said.
"My name is Ms Harris to you and like I said I have somewhere to be" she said "I'm taking the kids on vacation for 2 weeks"
"Thanks for asking" he retorted.
"I really didn't think I needed to ask to see my own children" she shot back.
"How did you get that cleared with Vince?" John asked.
"He knew I wanted sometime with my children so he said I could have some time off after the show I'm picking them up at your parent's house and we'll be back 2 weeks from Wednesday" she said.
"Yeah well whatever you do realize you are going to have to talk to me sometime" he said.
"As far as I'm concerned we have nothing to discuss but the well being of our 3 children and maybe work occasionally, I don't want to be your friends and I sure as hell don't want to love you so go find Candice and do whatever because I ain't interested".
John watched her walk away. Somehow her leaving was his fault or at least that was the way she was trying to spin it. Maybe she didn't really want anything to do with him then why had it looked like she had so much hurt in her eyes when she saw him kissing Candice. He had every right to move on... didn't he?
