Pairings: Gabrielle/Chris
Summary: Gabrielle is dating Chris Jericho, but when he turns his attention to taking out John Cena, Gabi makes him promise to her, on their relationship that he'll leave John alone. When he doesn't she leaves him, and goes to Cena to help him, but mostly for herself, to get back at Chris. In a fight for life or death, Gabi uses everything she's learned about Chris over the past 2 years against him, and tries to upstage him at Summerslam.
Disclaimer: I own Gabrielle.. Why can't I just own Cena. Everything would be good in this world.

I smile over at Amy, known to the wrestling world as Lita, as I place my coffee back down on the end table. "Gabs, there's something on your mind. You suck at not showing your feelings." I nod a little bit as I lean back on the bed in my hotel room. "Tell me. I'm your best friend, you can tell me anything."
"It's John. I mean, he's been avting so weird to me and around me lately. It's like since I went to him 2 weeks ago after RAW he's been so overprotective of me." I pull my red locks nack into a loose bun as I stare at a painting of a beach on the wall in my hotel room. "After every segment I have, he makes me go back to his lockerroom so he can make sure Chris doesn't do anything. I don't need to babysat, I am a big girl."
"Appreciate the fact that he cares enough about you to do that. Plus, he's a great guy, Gab."
I raise my eyebrow a little bit at her. "Ames, I do not like him that way. He's a friend, and a really sweet guy, and toss gorgeous as hell on their for no reason, but I don't think of him that way."
"Maybe he thinks of you that way, and that's why he's acting like this. Give him the time of day, Elle, you might just get lucky." I smile over at Amy as I take a sip from my Starbucks cup.
"Hey John." I watch him turn from the TV to face me, with him eyebrow raised. "Thank you."
"What for? I didn't do anything."
"Yeah, you did. You got me to realize that Chris is an asshole, and that I deserve better than him."
A smile slowly makes its way across his lips. "Well, then I'm glad."
"And I think I found better than Jericho." I smile over at him as I stand up from the couch and walk into the bathroom. I shut the door behind me, as I hop up onto the counter and just stare into the mirror. I hope I did, in John. I guess Amy does help with guys.
I pull my black eyeliner out of my make up bag and start to fix up my make up. After I finish my eyeliner, I apply a light shade of silver/gray eyeshadow, and then fade it with a charcoal colored eyesahdow, as I get closer to my eye. I grab my watermelon lip gloss and apply some before smiling into the mirror at my finished work.
As Amy and I are dancing out on the dance floor, I look back at John, who's barely dancing, and I know is usually grinding with just about any girl he finds. I notice he's staring at a table off to the corner of the club, with Chris sitting around with a few of his buddies and a couple of girls in their laps.
I turn around, facing him as I raise me eyebrow. "John, we're here to have fun, not stare at the world's biggest assclown."
"Gabi, I'm sorry, but I just want to makre sure he doesn't do anything to you while we're here." A smirl slowly makes its way across my lips since I just got a really good idea. "Gabs, we can't do anything that would make him jealous."
"Make who jealous? All I see over there is a stupid guy drowning in his sorrow, and right here are two people who are just trying to have some fun."
John shakes his head as I smile up at him. I turn around and lean back against him as I start grinding wtih him right in the middle of the dance floor. "What are you doing, Gabi?"
I stop dancing, turn around and pout at John. "Why are you being like this, John? I know you're doing this whole 'protecting' me thing because you want to spend time wirh me, and even though I hates the idea at first, now I'm quite fond of it, and I'm getting more into that idea."
"That was never my intention. And I think you've had a little too much to drink tonight."
I shake my head no. "I've only had a coke since we got here. You should know I don't drink alot."
"Come with me so we can talk."
"Can we go back to the hotel. I don't feel really good, and I'm sick of watching him over there." John nods and grabs my hand as he pushes through the crowd.
"You okay, Gabi?"
"I feel a little bit better. I think the club was too crowded for me tonight." I walk over to my bed in the room I share with John, his request, and lay back against the headboard, as I look over at John, who's sitting on his bed. "What do you want to talk to me, about?"
"Okay, I do like you, Gabi, but when I saw what Chris was doing to you, I had to jump in." I look down for a second at the bed as I pull my legs up under me. "I'm not gunna try to cover it up anymore. Yes, I have what I guess can be called a crush on you. Is that so bad?I think you're a great person, Gabrielle. And I really need someone like you in my life."
I look up from the bed to John, as I try to keep tears from falling from my eyes. I lick my lips as I lay down on my bed and pull up my sheets and blanket over me. I lay my head down on my pillow, with my back to John. I can hear him doing the same thing and then he shuts the light off. "Hey John." I hear him say 'yeah'. "Will you be my boyfriend?"
John turns the light back on, as I roll over to face him. "Are yo serious?" I nod my head as I wait for an answer. "Gabi--"
"John, it's a yes or no question. And it's a pretty easy question." John goes to say something as I shake my head and put my hand up. "It's not because of what you think. It's not to make Chris jealous. I've noticed over the past few weeks, that you're a great person, and just like you, I need someone good in my life."
"Gabi, shh.. Yes." I smile over at him as I roll back over and close my eyes, and try to go to sleep.
