Edge looked at his shoes not really knowing what to do, Randy was in Richmond with Mickie and Red was with his mom, he needed to get more friends, but for whatever reason nobody liked hanging out with the rich awesome guy, Edge sighed before leaving his house, he needed to go on a walk. After walking for a few minutes Edge looked at a tree, he wasn't really that into nature but he was staring at the girl who was leaning on the tree, "Maria?"
"Oh my god." Maria stated as she looked down, it was too late for her to run and it wasn't like she could hide, "Hey."
"That's all you have to say?" Edge asked, he was getting angry just looking at Maria, she had left him with no explanation, no warning, no real goodbye.
"I'm sorry." Maria replied, "I know you have to get married and I can't marry you."
"Why the hell can't you marry me?" Edge asked, he wasn't going to back away until he got an answer, until he finally got an answer.
"Because I can't okay?" Maria asked, she didn't want him to know, but she knew he was about to find out.
"No not okay!" Edge yelled, "I want to know why not and I want to know now."
"If I tell you, you have to promise me that you will stay for the entire story, let me talk and let me explain." Maria stated, she needed it to go her way.
"Alright." Edge replied crossing his arms as he leaned against the tree.
"That's not good enough, promise me Edge." Maria responded as she thought of the best possible way to put it.
"I promise, now why did you leave?" Edge asked, he needed to know why.
"Because I'm married."
"You're what?" Edge asked as he felt a million different emotions at once, he felt betrayed that Maria would do that to him.
"When we started dating I was in the middle of a divorce, I'll admit it, when we started dating I didn't have the best intentions for you, my plan was to get money and leave." Maria said, if she was going to tell him it might as well be the truth.
"Okay."
"Edge let me finish, I actually fell in love with you and nothing shocked me more then the fact that you were everything I had ever wanted, but by the time I had realized that I realized that my marriage was still in tact, I tried everything to get out of it but he was stubborn and he wouldn't sign the papers, so I figured what's the harm, then I got a letter saying we were divorced and I was thrilled, when you asked me to marry you I said yes with full intent to tell you everything, until I learned that the letter wasn't real, so I tried to get it done again but he still wouldn't sign the papers."
"I would'e helped you get out of it."
"Edge I know when I'm getting out of this."
"When?"
"October 30th."
"My birthday?" Edge asked as he began to get an idea of where it was going.
"By that time you'll be thirty which means-"
"I won't get my inheritance." Edge finished for her, he thought that she had left because she didn't care but no she didn't, she did it for him.
"Exactly, so I left." Maria replied thrilled that he was getting it.
"Wow."
"I know."
"Do you honestly think I would have chosen my inheritance over you?" Edge asked somewhat hurt, he had been with Maria for six years, he would've done anything for her.
"Edge you have wanted that money for as long as I've known you." Maria stated as she tried to plead her case.
"I've wanted you for as long as I've known you." Edge countered, he didn't care about the money, not when he was with her.
Maria looked down, "You know that would be a lot easier to believe if you weren't engaged right now."
Edge sighed, "How did you-"
"I'm not stupid Edge, I know you which means I know that you found some girl to marry you."
"I'm sorry."
"I am too." Maria stated before turning to walk away only for her hand to be grabbed by Edge.
"Don't go."
"Edge-"
"Don't go."
"I've got to go."
Edge looked at the ground he didn't want Maria to go but he didn't want to cheat on Lita either, even though he and Lita weren't really together, but he loved Maria, but the more he pleaded with her not to go the more guilty he felt about Lita. He had promised her money that he couldn't afford to give her if he went back to Maria, "Don't go."
"I don't want to."
"Then don't."
"Edge I will never forgive myself if I caused you to lose your money."
Edge nodded as he looked at Maria before stepping towards her and blocking her from moving, "Maria."
"Edge let me go."
"I can't let you go."
"Yes you can."
Edge removed his hands from the tree, "So you're leaving now?"
Maria kissed Edge on the cheek, "I love you Edge Copeland, more than you'll ever know."
At least that's how Maria wanted it go.
Edge looked at his shoes not really knowing what to do, Randy was in Richmond with Mickie and Red was with his mom, he needed to get more friends, but for whatever reason nobody liked hanging out with the rich awesome guy, Edge sighed before leaving his house, he needed to go on a walk.

"If I tell you, you have to promise me that you will stay for the entire story, let me talk and let me explain." Maria stated, she needed it to go her way.
"No, you left me Maria and I want to know the reason, I don't want you to sugarcoat it, I don't want you to put any twist any turns, anything just for once tell me the truth."
"I'm married."
"You're what?" Edge asked in shock, had she just gotten married or had she been married the entire time?
"I'm married." Maria repeated, she wasn't glad that it wasn't going the way she envisioned it.
"Funny how that didn't come up in six years." Edge said before rolling his eyes, how could he be so stupid to believe that Maria actually wanted him.
"Edge."
"No, I'm sorry to have bothered you, give your husband my best." Edge replied angrily as he turned in the opposite direction ready to leave.
"No Edge it isn't like that!" Maria exclaimed, she couldn't let him think she had been using him.
"Like what?" Edge yelled, "You're married Maria what else am I supposed to say?"
"I thought I was divorced."
"Really?" Edge asked as looked down, he wasn't sure how to respond to everything she was saying to him.
"Yes I promise you that I really thought I was divorced." Maria stated.
"Well good for you." Edge replied as he made a fist, he would never hit Maria or any woman but that tree was probably about to get some.
"Edge please, please don't hate me."
"I could never hate you Maria." Edge stated as he unclinched his fist.
"You couldn't?"
"But I wish I could." Edge responded, he knew how harsh it sounded, but she left him at the alter
Maria felt tears fall from her eyes, "You don't mean that."
"Yes I do."
"Did six years mean nothing?"
"I wasted six years on you, I wasted it on some girl who was married the entire time." Edge yelled, he couldn't help but be frustrated with her, she had lied to him for six years.
"I'm sorry." Maria stated, she couldn't make Edge see how sorry she was but she was.
"You should be."
"Can you ever forgive me?"
"I don't know," Edge said before scratching his head, "you screwed me over."
"I know."
"You know?" Edge laughed, "Well it's amazing that you know that."
"I do love you." Maria said, hoping that would make her seem less bitchy.
"That isn't fair." Edge yelled.
"What?" Maria asked, shocked that it didn't work.
"You can't just ambush me and tell me you still love me." Edge told her as punched the tree it hurt like hell but he didn't know what else to do, everything she was doing was making him mad.
"You came up to me." Maria stated as she started to get angry herself, she didn't want or need to be yelled at by Edge.
"You know this is my favorite spot." Edge replied, well it used to be anyway.
"You know this is my favorite spot, it's were you proposed to me."
"Yeah and I plan on chopping this tree down." Edge stated, he had done the paperwork now all he had to do was get the tree down, then he could enjoy his spot again.
"You can't do that." Maria responded shocked that Edge would do that.
"I can and I will."
"This is our spot."
"It was."
"It still is."
"How would your husband react to this?" Edge asked as he looked at Maria with hatred, he had never hated anybody more than he hated Maria right then.
"He doesn't care, he hates me, that's why we're still married." Maria said as she tried to make him understand the predicament.
"Well I don't know what to tell you." Edge stated as he rolled his eyes, he was confused by the entire conversation.
"Tell me that you love me."
"You want me to tell you I love you?"
"Yes, I do."
"I love you, I love you so much that it's hard to breath sometimes."
"Really?"
"No."
"What?"
"I did love you Maria, apart of me will always love you, but it's over." Edge stated, he knew it was harsh but Maria deserved everything he threw at her for leaving him alone.
"Don't say that."
"No you can't say that because you left me!" Edge screamed, "It wasn't the other way around, I didn't leave without saying goodbye."
"I'm sorry."
"I'm tired of hearing you say that!"
Not knowing what else to do Maria threw her lips on Edge's, only to be surprised when he actually kissed her back,
"I hate you." Edge stated before kissing Maria again.
5 Hours Later
Edge sat on his bed has he was recalling the events from earlier, he kept running the event over and over and still couldn't figure out how it happened,
"Your mother is a lunatic." Lita said as she got on top of Edge's bed before looking at him, he looked stressed, "Everything okay?"
"Yeah." Edge said, he wasn't sure why that happened with Maria but he was sure that Lita could never find out that he slept with his ex girlfriend.
