Chapter 28:

2 months Later:

I was released from the hospital after a week and a half, Chris's trial began the following week, it lasted a month. He was convicted about two weeks ago, he was found guilty of murdering Shane McMahon, he was found guilty of attempted murder and causing Grievous Bodily Harm to me and he was guilty of numerous counts of stalking and one more charge of attempted murder of Johnny. It was a long case, took forever. I watched from the gallery, as they convicted him. I couldn't believe that I had loved this man. Chris didn't show much emotion, not even when he was told he'd be going down for life. The only time he even bothered looking up was when I took the stand.

Today I stood outside the prison, Johnny by my side. No we weren't a couple, we were friends, I wasn't ready for another relationship.

"Are you sure you want to go in there?" Johnny asked.

"Yea," I nodded.

"Want me to come with you?" he asked this question three times today.

"No I need to talk to him, I need…closure," I admitted.

I've had nightmares about Chris, every day since I was shot. I was scared. Every time I left the house, I felt scared, I felt shook, thinking Chris is behind me. I couldn't go anywhere alone, I needed to talk to him, to clear everything up in my head.

"Ok," Johnny sighed. "I'll be waiting in the car."

I hugged him before entering the prison. After the police searched me I entered the visiting hall, there was a glass mirror separating us. I sat opposite him.

"You came," he said softly.

He had sent me lots of letters, begging me to visit him.

"I'm not here because you asked me to," I said coldly. "I'm here for me."

He nodded.

"I have nightmares Chris, every night, I can't walk out of the house alone…" I started. "Because of what you did to me."

"I didn't mean to…"

"Why did you shoot me?" I asked.

"I…"

"Tell me!" I demanded.

"I didn't mean to, I was meant to shoot Johnny but you ran into his side and…" Chris was shaking.

I nodded, "Fine. Why did you and Shane become…partners?"

"The court asked me all this, you were there."

"I need you to tell me Chris, you owe me that much."

He nodded, "He hated DX, so did I. No one would stand up to the great Shawn Michaels and Triple H, no one but me."

"But why? Why did you want to get them?"

"Because Hunter and Chris angle was perfect then Shawn returns, I get dropped and lose my job!"

"What did you get out of it?"

"My job back," Chris admitted. "My job is more important to me then anything, I was born to wrestle."

"So you went a long with everything, to end the career of Shawn and Hunter," I said. "Where did I belong in this?"

"To get to Shawn, go for his family, his niece. Use her, hurt her, turn her against Shawn blah blah," Chris said.

The nerve of Chris! How can he show me attitude, "So you used me?"

"No Allie, I loved you, that's why I killed Shane, I didn't want him to hurt you. He used you, I never knew, he never told me," Chris babbled on.

"Shut up!" I said. "You don't love me! You were obsessed with me!"

"No Allie, I've never loved anyone before, but you…you're different."

"YOU SHOT ME!"

"IT WAS AN ACCIDENT!"

I rolled my eyes, getting up. Time was running out for the visit.

"I ASKED YOU TO MARRY ME! I LOVED YOU THAT MUCH!" he stood up and screamed.

I turned to face him, "I loved you, I trusted you and all you did was use me."

I turned and left before I burst into tears. I was outside the prison when the waterworks began. I saw Johnny coming out of the car. I couldn't stop shaking, Johnny held me and comforted me.

"Its ok," he whispered holding me.

That evening I was with Rebecca in my hotel room. I needed to talk to her.

"How was it?" Rebecca asked.

"I said what I wanted to say, I said what I felt," I said as Shawn entered the room. "You should have seen him, he was convinced everything he did was for me."

Shawn held me.

"I can't believe I fell for him!" I said angrily. "Why do I have horrible taste in men? Its like I attract the nutters!"

"Johnny's not a complete nutter," Rebecca smiled.

"No he's not but he's a friend," I said.

"He didn't risk his life because he's your friend. He's in love with you," Shawn said.

I knew that, Johnny had told me himself. "Please I don't want to talk about this."

"Ok fine," Rebecca smiled. "We'll leave you, get some sleep."

I nodded and kissed them goodbye. My life had been a rollercoaster, that was an understatement. Chris had turned my life around at one point, he helped me to love again, trust and then he…he breaks me. He tries to kill me. Our whole relationship was a lie, truth is I never knew the real Chris.

Kyle had always made me feel trapped for years. I met Johnny, who gave me a night I never forgot, a night of talking. I should've seen that night that Kyle wasn't the one for me. I should never have took Kyle back, but I did.

Yet Johnny had never forgotten me. He risked his life for me. Why didn't I see him first? Why? Why did I not go for him first, why Chris? I guess everything happens for a reason I guess, but Johnny…

I did care about him, over the last few months I've fallen for him. I fell for him that night, I never knew I'd meet him again. Why am I sitting here? Why am I letting him get away, again?

I got up and headed to his room. Taking a deep breath, I knocked on his door.

"Alicia, are you ok?" he asked me.

"I love you," I blurted out.

His smile was so wide, "I love you too."

I kissed him softly and then I pulled back, "But I can't be in a relationship yet, Johnny I need to finish my therapy, I need to get through everything and I know it's a big ask and if you don't want to I understand but…"

"I'll wait for you," Johnny smiled. "I've waited years, I can wait a little longer."

I hugged him tightly.

This was my second chance at life…
