Author's Notes: Hey guys I just wanted to say I'm sorry for the delay in the story. Last week was real busy for me as I was dealing with school and trying to get through midterms and a ton of papers to write. Nevertheless, we are still gonna keep things rolling and I hope that you are still into this story and continue to follow it. I also once again need to thank AmbroseAsylum060214 for all of your help with this story and to Moxley Gal1 for your PM and I will take your suggestion into consideration.

Now here is the next chapter of The Writer and the Wrestler...

Chapter 6-Goodbye for Now

As the morning rose, Jon even though he was the last to fall asleep, he was the first one to wake. It had to be one of the best night's sleep that he had in a while and he knew that it had to do with the woman that was sleeping in his arms. Looking down at Harley, Jon felt his breath being taken away as the morning sunlight crept through the curtains and heightened the features of her face. She looked so peaceful as she slept with her nose occasionally wiggling. That cute sudden movement brought a smile to Jon's face and caused his stomach to flutter.

Gently brushing away a strand of hair that fell onto her face, Harley's breathing began to change and he knew that she was starting to wake up, "Good morning sweetheart," he whispered to her softly as she stretched a little.

Harley then smiled and cuddled back deeper into his warm body, "Good morning, how did you sleep?"

"Oh I slept like a baby. Your bed is so comfy. It was way better than sleeping on the floor. How about you? You didn't move very much last night," he asked her as he pulled the blankets around them closer to protect them from the cold chill that was in the air.

"I did as well, but now that I'm awake, I feel so sore from yesterday," she groaned feeling the effects from her wreck.

"Oh poor baby. Don't worry though because Mr. Nurse is here to take care of you. Thankfully I know a trick or two to get rid of aches and pains. It comes with the territory of being thrown around in a ring every night," Jon told her before easing his way out of bed. He then walked into her bathroom and closed the door behind him.

Harley grew very curious as she heard him move around in there especially when she heard her bathtub start to run. Moments later when the water turned off, Jon emerged from the bathroom and walked over to her gently lifting her into his arms. "What are you doing Jon?" she asked him as she wrapped her arms around his neck.

"I'm trying to make you feel better that's what. When I'm feeling sore, I like to take a nice hot bath to help soothe my muscles. I think you'll like it too and I even put some bubbles in it for you," Jon smiled as he placed her onto her feet. "You get in there and take all the time that you need. I'll go check on the guys and find something to do."

Once he closed the door, Harley looked at the bath that awaited her and smiled. This was the nicest thoughtful thing that any man had done for her and it brought a happy tear to her eye. Jon certainly had a caring heart even though she suspected that he never showed it and it made her feel lucky that he was able to put his walls down and show it to her.

As Harley was busy with her bath, Jon walked into the kitchen where Joe and Colby were making breakfast. "Really guys, you're already raiding her kitchen," he joked with them as he took a seat at the table.

"No, we are making Harley breakfast to thank her for letting us stay here last night. Speaking of which, how did you end up in her room last night? I woke up and all of a sudden you were gone," Colby asked him curiously.

"Well I was only able to sleep for an hour or two before I was up as usual and I guess Harley couldn't sleep either, because she walked in and found me watching the snow fall. We didn't want to wake you Colbs, so we went to her room to talk for a while before we called it a night and went to bed," he explained to them even though he really didn't have to.

Joe sat a plate of food in front of him and said, "Are you sure that's all that happened man?"

Jon just groaned and got a little offended by his comment, "I know what you're getting at and I swear nothing happened. We just talked and that's it. I would never try to sleep with Harley after all that she went through last night. I'm not that heartless."

"I know man I'm just teasing you. Besides, you said last night that you didn't even like her," Joe told him and patted his back.

"Well I wouldn't go that far in saying that I don't like her completely. I mean I do like her, but in friendly kind of way. She does though have some amazing qualities about her, but we all know that I don't do relationships. Not only that, but we may never see each other again and I don't want us to grow attached to each other. It's better to cut if off now when no one gets hurt," Jon sighed.

Both Colby and Joe knew that was right in saying that being in a long distance relationship was a hard thing to do, because they have done it before and it did put a lot of strain on their relationships. However, they also knew that Jon was trying to fool himself into thinking that he only liked Harley as a friend. He went above and beyond for her and that was something that he would never do for another girl.

"Alright man whatever you say. Anyways work called and they said that the Denver airport is out of commission due to the amount of snow that they got. So with no other options, they want us to try to drive out so that we won't miss the show," Joe then told him.

Jon was about to respond when they heard Harley's door open and out she walked fully dressed and was drying her hair with a towel. "What's going on here?" she asked looking at all the cooked food on the table.

Both Joe and Colby smiled and presented their gift to her. "We made you breakfast as a thank you for letting us sleepover last night," Colby told her and went to give her a hug.

However before he could get close to her, Jon stopped him and said, "Hey be careful there man. She woke up sore this morning and she doesn't need your hyper ass hurting her further."

"Jon I'm fine really. The bath that you made me really helped and I can move a lot better now. You can hug me Colby," Harley smiled and gave him a big hug causing Jon to growl at their interaction and causing Joe to laugh at him.

As they then all sat down at the table to eat, Jon took it upon himself to tell Harley the bad news. "So umm…Harley, we are going to have to leave here in a bit. We are going to drive out to Denver rather than fly."

"Yeah I looked online about the roads and they have been cleared and salted, so we should be okay to go. Besides it's sunny out so hopefully that melts the snow and ice too. We really can't miss our show and disappoint our fans," Colby then told her.

"Well as long as you guys are safe driving, then that's all that matters. It only takes about six or seven hours to get there and with you three all driving, I'm sure that you will make it there in no time," Harley smiled trying to hide the sadness that she was currently feeling. She didn't want them to leave just yet especially Jon. She was barely getting to know the real him and she didn't want that to end.

Sadly an hour later while Joe and Colby were packing and getting ready to leave, Jon and Harley were sitting on the couch dreading what was about to come. "So are you going to be okay when we leave? I mean with work and stuff?" Jon asked her breaking the silence.

"Yeah I should be fine. I'm going to take the next few days to deal with my whole car situation first and then I guess I'll go back to work to deal with all of that. That should give Troy time to cool off and think about what he has done. I'm still planning on working the afternoon shift to limit my time with him anyways," Harley explained knowing that she had to face Troy at some point.

Jon was of course upset that she was still planning on going back to work, but he knew that he couldn't forbid her from working. So he just sighed and said, "Alright well just be careful and watch your surroundings. I'll never trust that Troy guy with you and I'm always going to worry about you."

Before Harley could respond, Joe and Colby walked in interrupting their conversation. "Alright everything is all packed and ready to go. There's a few people on the road already so that's a good sign," Colby said as he walked up to Harley. "It was really nice meeting you Harley. You are an incredible person and I hope that we can keep in touch."

Harley smiled and gave him a hug, "It was nice to meet you to Colby and of course we can keep in touch. Jon has my number and feel free to call or text me anytime." In only the short time that she had gotten to know him, Harley could already feel a bond growing between them. It was like a brother sister bond which worked for Harley, because she rarely got to see her own brother recently. "You guys have a safe trip and be careful."

"I will don't worry," he told her before giving her one last hug and stepping aside for Joe to say goodbye.

"Alright baby girl you take care and watch yourself. If anyone gives you a hard time at work or in general, just give us a call and I'll deliver one good Superman punch to their ugly faces," Joe told her causing her to giggle.

"Okay I'll keep that in mind," Harley laughed as he gave her a big bear hug. It amazed Harley that when they first met, his large stature scared her, but now she was able to see that he was one giant teddy bear.

Now with Colby and Joe gone, Jon and Harley were now left alone to say their goodbyes to one another. "Well I guess I better get going," Jon frowned. "I'll call you when we get to Denver to let you know that we made it there safely."

"Okay and thanks again for everything Jon. I know that you're probably tired of me saying that by now, but I really mean it. I don't know what I would have done without you and even though we just met, I'm really going to miss you," she told him honestly.

Jon took her into his arms as he saw tears starting to form in her eyes, "C'mon don't cry sweetheart. It's going to be okay and I'm going to miss you too. No one has put up with me like you have. You really are one of a kind Harley and don't forget that. I don't want to lose what we have going on between us," he told her as he stroked her back and took a breath in of her strawberry scented hair.

"How are you going to do that?' Harley asked him looking up at him.

Jon smiled and caressed her cheek, "We can text and call each other all the time even when it's just to say hi. And remember that I'm here for you whenever you need it. Just say the word and I'll be there for you. I'm your knight in shining armor and I'm always going to be there to save my princess."

Harley smiled when she heard him refer to her as 'my princess' and not to mention that his dimpled cheeked smile made her stomach flutter and her heart race. However she managed to keep her feelings for him at bay, because she knew that they may never see each other again. So giving him one last hug, Harley tried to remember everything that she could about him before saying, "You better get going before the guys grow restless and they leave your ass here."

"Yeah they would probably do that," Jon chuckled back. "But then again that wouldn't be a bad thing would it?"
"I guess we'll never know," Harley sighed and walked him to the door, "Goodbye Jon and take care."
Jon gave her one last glance and smiled, "I will."

Once he was gone down the hallway, Harley sadly closed the door and went to sit on the couch of her now cold empty apartment. It was like the one light in her life was gone and now she was back to darkness.

Poor things, I could tell that it was hard for Jon and Harley to say goodbye to each other. I really hope that they stay in touch with each other, but I guess that we will just have to see. Please let me know what you though about this chapter. I'll take whatever comments or suggestions that you give me. Again please keep up all the reviews, favorites, and follows.
