"Well you know how I was about to win that hardcore match backstage against Becky. You grabbed a hold of me and she hit me with a Crowe bar. She won the match because of you and I was sent to the hospital. That's only part of it," She continued. "The other part is I was sitting down on a chair in my hotel room when Becky walked up behind me and blindfolded me so I couldn't see, covered my mouth and tied my hands. She through me on my bed and started to beat me up" Ashley said a little upset.

"Why didn't you tell me Ash" John said still confused.

"She told me if I told you she'd hurt Trish" Ashley still continued "You know when you called me that time well..

John interrupted "Becky was there and that's why I told you if anything was wrong I'm all ears" He continued "So that's why you moved to Trish's room. Triple H and I saw you crying" John said looking down.

Ashley heard her phone ring so she opened it up. "Hey baby. Oh I'm at the premier thing," Ashley said looking at John.

Shawn: "Is everything alright there"

"Yep. We just watched the movie it was good. We should be home soon" Ashley said happy that her boyfriend called to make sure everything was okay.

Shawn: "have a surprise for you. You will have to wait until you get home to find out what it is," He said teasing her.

"Oh please tell me what it is please" Ashley said wanting to know.

Shawn: "Oh damn it! Ash Hun I have to go! I will see you tonight"

"Shawn is everything okay? Ashley asked worried.

Shawn: "Oh yeah. Loveee you"

"Love you to baby" Ashley said making a kissing noise and hanging up.

"Let me guess Shawn?" John said sarcastically.

"Yep. He called to make sure I was okay," Ashley said walking towards Trish.

"Hey would you like to go for a walk after this thing, ugh premier is over" John asked hoping the answer was yes.

"Sure! Trish and I will meet you at Sunshine Lake. We could walk along the beach. That's if it's okay with you?" Ashley said looking over at John.

"Yea you and Trish. Oh yeah I'll meet you there" John said turning around. 'Great Trish is tagging along. Now how am I supposed to tell Ashley…? I guess some other time' John thought disappointed.

The party soon ended and Becky was pissed drunk. John called a cab for her considering he did not want to be around her anymore. John got in his car and drove back to his hotel. Ashley and Trish went back to their hotel and grabbed their bathing suits and got dressed. Just when they were about to leave the phone rang Trish picked it up.

"Hello?" Trish questioned the person on the other line.

"Hello Trish this is Vince I'm calling to remind you about your scheduled workout tonight. Jamie is here and he is ready to help you out" Vince McMahon said.

"Oh yea I forgot about that. I will be there in five" Trish said hanging up the phone.

"What your leaving" Ashley said giving puppy dog eyes.

"Yea I have to go to the gym Jamie is there and He IS VERY hard to get a hold of so I got to go" Trish said putting a pair of pants over top of her bathing suit bottoms.

"Pweez" Ashley said disappointed

"No Ashley" Trish said waving and walking out the door.

Ashley threw a towel into a bag and put a white and yellow dress on over top of her bikini. She locked the door and went to her car. She drove to the beach.

At the Beach

Ashley walked on to the beach and looked around for John. She turned around and there he was right in front of her. He had swim shorts on. They were green yellow and white. He had no top on. He looked at Ashley and smiled he didn't think she would show up.

"Where's Trish" he said looking at her.

"She couldn't come" Ashley said looking at the lake.

"That sucks" John said hiding the fact that he was happy.

Ashley laid her towel on the ground and took her dress off. John watched her intently. She had a white bathing suit with light pink and black hearts on it. The top was tied to her fitting and her bottoms were tied on each side. She walked down to the water and started to walk farther out in the lake. She got far enough out that the water now touched her knees. She started to walk up the beach to get John.

She reached John "Come on John the water's cold" She laughed teasing him.

"I'm not coming in. You just said it was cold" John said chickening out.

Ashley grabbed his hand and pulled him towards the lake just before they reached the lake John pulled back.

"Fine. I'll be right back, and you can get used to the water by yourself" He watched Ashley leave and then he looked back at the lake.

Suddenly Ashley pushed him right in top in all. He stood up drenched and looked at Ashley. Ashley walked to him and helped him take his shirt off. When his shirt was off she threw it on to the beach and stood there looking at him. She smiled and then he grabbed her and pulled her in. She started to laugh because he tickled her.

Ashley and John walked out of the water and the both lay down side by side on their towels. They looked at the stars, and then Ashley looked at John. She just smiled. John looked over at her and saw her laughing.

"What?" John said wondering why she was laughing.

"You look so cute when your happy" Ashley said starring at him still lying on her back. John sat up and looked down at her.

"So you think I'm cute huh?" John said acting clueless.

Ashley smiled and stood up. "Come on we're suppose to go for a walk remember" Ashley said pulling him up. They left there tails and walked along the shore.

"So…" Ashley mumbled searching her mind for something to talk about.

"Ashley I've got a question" John whispered.

"Yea what is it"

"Remember when I kissed you. You told me I was your best friend and nothing more… It broke my heart" John said looking down. He continued "Ash I love you and I always have though I try to hide it, but why can't I be more then a friend?" John questioned upset.

"Well ugh John I do love you… I love you like a brother. John at the time all I saw you as was an older brother and a friend. I hope you understand" Ashley said feeling sorry "John I'm not sure what guy will be the one to win my heart, but you need to know you will always have a place in my heart. You're the only person I can tell things. You're my best friend" Ashley said starting to cry. She grabbed his hand and held it on her heart.

"Ashley don't cry" John said. His hand was still on her heart. "You're my best friend too and I have learned to accept the fact that you don't love me like that. Now be a good friend and do me a favor… Stop crying I hate seeing you sad" John said sad to see Ashley cry.

Ashley smiled and hugged him. "Oh crap what time is it" Ashley said running to her towel. She grabbed her cell "Oh my god I have to get back to the hotel" Ashley said. She ran to her car. It started to rain and her car wouldn't start. "John can You drive me back to the hotel" Ashley said a little embarrassed

"Sure" John said whipping the rain off his face.

Back at the hotel

" Thanks" Ashley said jumping out of the car and running to Trish's room.

She through on a dress and fixed her hair. She walked to Shawn's hotel room.

John just sat in the car and thought about how Ashley responded to his question.

"Hey Ash" Shawn said opening up his door. He kissed Ashley on the lips and covered her eyes. He walked her to the balcony and then told her to open her eyes.

"What do you think" Shawn said showing her the surprise
