Natalia's POV-

John and I woke up the next morning in each other's arms. We had been so tired, it was great to finally get some sleep. I got up and used the bathroom. The phone rang.

"Hello"

"YO" Was all I heard. I knew it was Shelton.

"Calm down" I said.

"No. John was supposed to meet me at the gym at 9. Look what time it is now" He yelled. I looked at the clock. It was 10:30.

"Oh damn. He's still out" I said.

"No I'm not!" I heard John say.

"Give him the phone" Shelton said. I gave the phone to John.

"Yello" John said. I saw his facial expression change.

"Just calm down. I'll meet you now"

"I was with my girl" He said. I smiled. I was his girl. I was proud.

"Ok...ok...OK!!" John said as he hung up. He got up and ran to the bathroom. I laughed.

When he came out I was sitting on the couch watching TV.

"Whatcha watchin'?" He asked.

"Spongebob" I said. He laughed.

"Aww Natts"

"What?" I said as I turned my head.

FART

"Oh my god John!!!" I said as I started chasing him around the room.

"Ok, ok" He said as he caught me.

"You're a pig" I said.

"You still love me" He said as he kissed my forehead.

"I do" I said as I laughed.

John's POV-

I had to go meet Shelton at the gym so I was rushing a bit. I said bye to Natts then headed out to Rody's Gym.

"Hey man" I said to Shelton when I saw him.

"'Bout damn time" He said as we did our little handshake.

"Hey man I was just getting some needed rest" I said.

"Since when is sex all night rest?" He said.

"We didn't have sex all night" I said.

"John. We have adjoining rooms. And I'm not deaf" Shelton said. I laughed.

"Sorry man" I said.

"Little to late for that. You know after the ahhh ahhh" Shelton said as he tried to impersonate Natts' moans.

"You're a jackass" I said.

"Whatever" He said. I picked up some weights and started quick.

"So what's up with her? Things serious yet?" He asked.

"Actually yeah. I can see myself spending the rest of my life with her. I've never felt this way about anyone" I said.

"Awww" Shelton came and tried to pinch my cheeks.

"NO" I said as i pushed his hand away. He looked at me weird.

"You wanna go out tonight?" He asked.

"With who?" I asked.

"You, Natalia, Trish and I" He said.

"Ok. I'll see if Natts wants to go" I said.

"Ok" He said as we continued to lift weights.

Later That Day-

Natts and I decided to go to the club with Shelton and Trish. They went off while Natts and I got our table. We just relaxed and listened to the music. We were all just relaxing when all of a sudden we heard a gunshot and screaming. We both looked over and there was Shelton on the ground.

"Oh my god!" Natts yelled as she started to cry. I looked a Trish who was already in tears.

"Someone call 911!!!!" I yelled while someone did. I walked over and saw Shelton on the ground gasping for air. Before we knew it the paramedics were there and they took him. I held Natts close to me.

We all went over to the hospital right after they took him. I couldn't believe it. Shelton is my best friend. I'm gonna find the bastard that did this. Shelton did absolutely nothing to deserve this.

Natalia's POV-

I couldn't believe this. I can't stop crying. Trish is so upset as well. We're all sitting here just doing nothing. Just waiting. Waiting for answers. We were all quiet when the doctor came out.

"Any of you related to Mr. Benjamin?" The doctor asked.

"His parents are on their way" John said.

"I'm his girlfriend" Trish blurted out. I looked at her. She gave me half a smile.

"Well then Miss..."

"Stratus" She said.

"Miss Stratus, Mr.Benjamin is very lucky. The bullet missed his right lung by about 3 inches.

"Is he gonna be okay?" I asked.

"He'll be fine. We'll keep him in this room until tomorrow then move him to recovery" The doctor said.

"Can we see him?" John asked.

"Sure but hurry. Visiting hours end in half an hour" He said. We all walked inside. There layed Shelton. So peaceful. Trish walked over to his side and kissed him on the forehead. I couldn't help but cry while watching them. John sat down and I sat on his lap.

"One day, we'll look back on this and laugh and cry together. One moment in time could've ended it all but it didn't and won't forever. I love you, did you know that? I'd kill and do anything for my love back. If I could ask for one wish it would be, to get you back over to me. Just slowly open your eyes. And realize that you have nothing to fear, because I love you and will always be here" Trish sang softly. Another tear ran down my face as she broke down and cried again.
