Chapter 1: Memories and New Beginnings
BROOKE'S POV
I sat there. Staring at him with my blue eyes filled with tears. It was the night before we both would split seperate ways.
Just a couple days ago we graduated. Graduating at 15 was a pretty big acomplishment if I say so myself. Yeah, I was one of them really, really smart people. I had skipped 3 grades.
John, who was the football captain was my boyfriend that whole senior year. He was my only friend. And soon I became his. I was asked out many times, but I always rejected. I knew I was a very pretty girl. I guess all the whistling and shouting kind of gave it away.
But Then, I fell so hard for John. After sitting by him for a week in 2nd Period I knew I loved him. Innocent flirting turned to serious love very fast. We soon started dating, and eventually our worlds revolved around each other.
School, Family, and each other were our lifes. And we loved it that way. We fought from time to time. But they never lasted more than a week. I dreaded this day, and it was finally here.
It was raining and we were under the oak tree that we shared my first kiss under. It was amazing.
"Brooke, I will always love you, forever.", He whispered in my ear as he held me tight.
"I know, I love you too, so much, more then anything. But I know you have to go and so do I." I said with tears slipping down my face. I tried to hold them back, but it was to hard.
"No matter where I go, or where you go, you will always be on my mind. Everytime I look at the stars, I'll think of you. Hopefully, I'll see you again and we can continue our lifes with each other." He said.
I looked over to see tears falling from his cheeks. The only time I ever seen him cry was when his best friend, Jarrod died. John was as tough as it gets.
"I never want to let go of you. But I have to go pack. I wrote this for you. And I love you so much. More then anything. God, you just dont know." Afte he spoke them words, I kissed him.
This Kiss...was undescribable. It was more amazing then all of our kisses put together in one.
With That, I whispered "I Love You, John Felix Anthony Cena."
I got up and left. I couldn't say bye. It was too hard for me. I turned around to see him with his hands in his face. I was beginning to think this was goodbye, not for a little while, but forever.
8 YEARS LATER:
"GET YOUR HAPPY ASS UP BRITTANI!", I screamed to the top of my lungs.
Me and My best friend since the first day of college, Brittani Edenfeild had to go to work. But she just didn't get that.
"Ok Goshness. I'm getting up." She said irritated at me for waking her up. While throwing a pillow at me.
"Bitch" I said while walking out her door.
Me and Brittani were roomates in a really nice apartment. We were both criminal justice lawyers. We went to Harvord Law School together and then moved back to Boston. I can't even recall a time where she hasn't had my back. I love her like the sister I never had.
"Girl, You best watch your language..respect your elders!" She said while both of us were laughing.
"So whats up? You wanna go to the gym after work and train?"
"Heck yes. We have that interveiw for the WWE tomorrow..Right?" She Said.
"Yeah, Girl I am so excited and scared at the same time. I mean, John is going to be expecting to get back together after all these years but I've moved on. This is such a big oppurtunity. There is no way im going to blow it over him." Even though I spoke those words. I knew once I was around John again I would fall in love again.
Dont get me wrong. I'm madly in love with Jonathan. But John, He was my first everything, from my first kiss to the first time I made love. I'm so confused. But I dont need to worry about it. I'll figure it out as time goes on.
After me and Brittani were done getting ready we headed off to work. Of course, we had nice suits on, which wasn't our style at all. That's why we want to become WWE Diva's. I've wanted to be one since only God knows when.
I walked into the 10 story building. Jonathan was standing there waiting for us with coffee.
"Hey Babe, Whats Up? I got you and Brit some coffee with low sugar and all that good stuff. I know ya'll are on that strict diet even though your both as skinny as skinny gets."
"Dont call me Brit, ever again." It was easy to tell Brittani didn't like him too much, even after we've been dating for a year. She never had and I dont think she ever will.
"Don't listen to her, Thanks that was really sweet." I said.
Jonathan has this southern accent. Since he is from Alabama. I think it's hott. But Brittani has always thought completely different. I care about her opinion, but I really love Jonathan, he tries so hard for me.
"Whatever Brittani. I try to be nice and you pitch a dang attitude." Jonathan said with a sound of hate in his voice. He don't like her either. I just deal with there fighting.
Brittani just flicked him off and kept on walking. I'm sure if we were anywhere else she would have cussed him out in a heartbeat, but when were at work, she keeps her mind focused.
AFTER WORK:
"Hey Girly Girl, Want to go get something to eat?" Jonathan said running up to me and Brittani.
"No, I got to go home and change and then go to the gym. I got that interveiw tomorrow."
"Yeah, That's right..I forgot about that. Well I'll see ya later anyways. Bye."
"When are you going to break it off with that stupid hick?" Brittani said. That made me kind of mad. But I didn't say anything back. I didn't feel like getting into it with her. So I just kept my mouth shut.
Eventually we got to our apartment and changed into our work out clothes. We were matching. We both had black tank tops on and black boy shorts. We threw our hair up in a pony tail and we were off.
The gym was only about 2 minutes away so we would always power walk there. Right next to it was a really fancy hotel. I remember one time when we saw T.I. walking out of there. We almost flipped. We got his autograph and a picture. The hotel's famous for having superstars there.
"Ok we just got to the gym and I'm already tired. Dang, work has really gotten to me lately." Brittani said while leaning over, taking some breath in.
"Tell me about it. I hate it there. I'm so ready to get the hell outta there." I replied. Work was hard today. The stupid bitchy boss made us run errands all over the building. We didnt even have time to work on our cases.
We walked in and got working on our abs first, like always. We have sort of a routine. There was only 3 people in there. Me, Brittani, and some guy but his back was facing us.
"Oh..My..God..Brooke, Look To Your To your left." Brittani said practically loosing her breath
"What Are Yo- OH MY GOD! Brittani its John, I didn't know they were in town, you have to hide me before he see's me." I said in a half whisper-half scream.
He was the last person I expected to see. But he looked so different. So more, manly. He had changed so much in the past 8 years. Im guessing he was now 26 now. He had a beautiful body. I couldn't take my eyes off of him. And I guessed he noticed.
By now, Brittani was working out on a machine and I was on the other side of it, So he couldn't see me.
I almost fainted when he walked over to us. He sat down on the machine next to Brittani and started working out.
"Holy Shit, You're John Cena" Brittani's Dumb ass said. She makes herself sound so crazy sometimes. I wanted to laugh but I couldn't.
"Yeah, that would be me." He said with a smirk on his face.
"This is really cool, you're so sexy. I'm sounding so much like one of them crazed fans let me slow down. My name's Brittani, I'm 25 years old and me and my friend have a interveiw with WWE tomorrow." She said, I was praying he wouldn't ask who her friend was..
"Wow..Well this is a coincidence. Who's ya friend?"
Damn.
"Brooke Sellers..You may know her I dont know. She says you guys dated back in high school, But I never believed her."
With That, I pinched her hard on her leg. Stupid Bitch. She isn't suppose to give my name away! DUH!
"OW!"
"What Happened?"
"Umm..Nothing. Just glitch in the leg."
"Oh. But Are you talking about..Angela Brooke Sellers?"
"Yeah, I am."
All he did was sigh.
"Whats Wrong?"
"I loved her so much. But she probablly dont want me no more. She moved on. I've been with a lot of girls but I never really loved them. I loved her though, and I still do." He Said.
The words tore me apart. I dont know what to do or what to say to him when he really sees me. Jonathan has done so much for me I just cant, leave him.
"Oh."
"Well I gotta go. I guess I'll be seeing you around Brittani, and maybe even Brooke."
"Yeah, See Ya Bye."
Once the coast was clear I jumped up.
"DUMB ASS! YOU GAVE HIM MY NAME! WHAT THE FUCK?" I yelled
"SOOORRRYYYY IF I WANT YALL TO GET BACK TOGETHER!"
"Whatever. You know it wont work. Let's just go home..I need the rest."
"You Dont Know that."
I didn't say nothing. We walked back home and I went straight up to my room.
I took a shower and changed. Then I opened my closet door. I pulled out a box that read on the front with decorations
"John Brooke"
It was full of pictures and memories from that Senior year. In it also had the one thing I read from time to time. "The GoodBye Note" I guess you could say. I read it aloud with tears streaming down my face.
Dear Brooke,
God, I dont want to have to write this. I dont want us to leave each other, But I know its for the good. I want you to know one thing. I swear on my life, we will be together again. No matter what the situation. I will hold you in my arms at least one more time after tonight. I've never felt this way about a girl, and You're the only girl that I will ever love. I hope it's the same with me. But I know you'll eventually find someone else to take my spot. Just promise me one thing, You'll never love him like you loved me. Your Beautiful inside and out. I'll never forget the way you would smile at me and laugh when I told you that You were the most beautiful woman I had ever seen. You're my life Angela Brooke Sellers. And you always will be. Please Remember Me, even if we never see each other again. Think of me when you watch wrestling. You're my baby.
I Love You, But Goodbye,
John
This letter still gets to me. I fell on my bed and curled up, holding it close to my heart.
"I Still Love You John", I whispered, hoping in some way he might hear me. But I knew it wasn't possible.
My eyes slowly started to close and I was asleep. Still holding the letter closer to my heart then ever.
There's nothing in this world that can break my feelings from him. Or So I thought.
