It's All Coming Back Now

Kelly was in her hotel room in that could winter night. She should have been outside shopping for the upcoming Christmas but that day she just didn't feel like it. Had happened too many things in the past year and she just didn't feel the Christmas anymore. Without Randy anything around her was empty. After she found out about his story all she was thinking about was him. Poor Randy. She should have been there by his side, but only if he let her get near him anymore. How much she hated Dave for ruining her happiness with the man she loved. She hadn't talked to the detective yet and she couldn't do her plan until John will return. She felt he should be there by her side to help her out. Dave was definitely a dangerous person and she wanted to be alive when they will catch him. Suddenly she heard a violent knocked on her door that didn't stop until she walked and opened it.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." She said rolling her eyes and ran a little bit to open the door. As she opened it wide she felt a huge body almost falling on her. "Randy!" She whispered scared. He looked hurt and even bleeding.

"I'm sorry Barbie." He said with a low voice, hugging her tight. She heard him crying silent as he didn't let her go. "I'm so sorry for all I did to you! You're an amazing person and I love you with all my heart, I never stopped as much as I tried." He continued as he gently cupped her face with his hands. He couldn't stop crying. "You were the most real person I have ever met in my life and I let you down. I'm so sorry I hurt you, angel." He cried even more.

Kelly didn't know what to say or what to do. She was speechless. She slowly hugged him back as tears started to run on her cheeks. She was happy to have her man back. She's been waiting for this moment for so long that she didn't need any other words, but his body close to hers.

"It doesn't matter, baby. Just don't cry anymore I hate seeing you crying. I'm so glad you're here now. God…" She said softly and wiped away his tears as hers didn't stop pouring. "I love you as I never loved anyone in my life." She said sincerely as she looked in the eyes of her lover after such a long time.

"I love you Barbie and I want you to be in my life forever. I don't want you to go, never." He kissed her slowly.

Oh those lips! Those sweet lips she felt them again. It was so amazing that she even thought she was dreaming and she didn't want to wake up from it. Never. It was a long and intense kiss that they both needed it. Never anyone in his life had made him feel what Barbara did.

"What happened to you? Why are you bleeding?" Kelly asked worried as they broke the kiss.

"Barbie…" He started and grabbed her small hands as they both set on the edge of the bed. "I need to tell you something, but please listen to me until I finish, ok?" She nodded sobbing. "Dave is dead."

"WHAT?" Kelly screamed in shock. "Randy…did you-?"

"No, no I swear I didn't." He cut her off already knowing what she was about to say. "We had an altercation. I provoked him to a man-to-man fight. But I never thought Dave was completely out of his mind. He pulled out a gun and put it to my head, obviously ready to shoot me. He started to tell me all the truth about the rape and all the things I didn't want to believe." He looked at her as Kelly kept looking at him worried. "I tried to take away the gun but… Dave pulled the trigger and it shot him, apparently really bad." Randy sighed.

"Oh my Goodness! Where is he now?" Kelly asked. She really couldn't believe what she just heard.

Randy seemed like he didn't hear her. "I can't believe this had happened Barbie! I can't believe I have to go trough all this again! I didn't kill Sam and I didn't kill Dave! Why is this happening to me?" He started shaking then continued answering Kelly's question. "I heard people coming in the parking lot and I ran as fast as I could here without anybody seeing me."

"Randy you left him there? At least, you should have called the ambulance!" Kelly stood up quickly.

"I panicked and if anyone would have seen me there near him would have think I shot him. Please Barbie, help me…" He also stood up and walked up to her. "Believe me I didn't shot him, it was an accident, just like it happened years ago!"

Kelly turned around looking in his eyes. "How funny, now it's my turn to believe you." She said ironically and Randy looked down. "Don't worry, Randy I do believe you. I know you would have never killed him." Kelly continued as she hugged her lover tight. She was happy to have him back in her arms but also, she knew it was a matter of time until police will start looking for him.

"It's too late, John. I'm getting married tomorrow." It was revolving again and again in his head all the time John had staid at the dinner. Melina and Morrison were quiet eating their dinner, while Melina's mother was the only one who was trying hard to start a conversation with John. He really wasn't in the mood for any kind of conversation, he barely touched his food and Melina noticed it. She also noticed how thinker John was and apparently what she just told him earlier on the beach really hurt him. But it was the truth! She will get married the next day and all his excuses had come too late now. She didn't even know if she should believe him or not. On the other hand, Morrison also noticed that Melina either touched her food and he figured it out that something had happened between them both.

"So, um John did Melina tell you that tomorrow is our wedding?" Morrison said as he grabbed Melina's hand which was resting on the table. She looked at him like he was crazy then he looked at John who's look and voice were unreadable.

"Really? Congrads, am I invited by the way?" He asked polite as he fixed his look on Melina. She looked down at her food embarrassed.

"Of course you are, John. Morrison needs a best man and maybe you can be." Melina's mother said enthusiastic.

"Right." Both Johns said at the same time and Melina sighed as she got up cleaning the table.

"I'll help you Mel." John said and he stood up with his own plate which was still full of food.

"No, it's ok." She tried to say but it was too late; John was already following her in the kitchen. He wasn't ready to give up on fighting. Melina was his and she should just remember it. He won't let Morrison get in their way as much as that jerk tried.

"Mel, you can't marry him." He said as he let the dishes on the sink. Melina rolled her eyes and turned around to face him with her arms crossed.

"First don't tell me what to do, John." She said with a harsh tone. "And two: why I can't marry him? I love him!"

"Because...he doesn't deserve you Mel." He said with a soft voice as he got near her. "You're a sweet and kind and sensitive woman and you deserve better than him and you know it." He looked in those hazel eyes that he loved so much. "Besides, you don't love him, stop lying yourself. "

And suddenly it happened. She started to have those flash images again appearing and disappearing in her head. She started to see scenes just like she did months ago when she got back a half of her memory. But this time she remembered something else. There was a nice night. It looked like it was Christmas and she was with John…

~~ Flashback~~

The warm ambience of the room made her feel comfortable, while John was filling up two glasses of red wine. He handed her one of them and set next to her on the sofa. It was Christmas Eve and she was spending it with John in his hotel room.

"So Mel, tell me. Why aren't you with Morrison and your family?" John asked as he drunk from his glass.

"I told you earlier, Vince didn't let me leave, and about Morrison...we aren't back together, even though he keeps pressuring me." She confessed.

John looked at her with a small smile on his face. "I see... Mel, do you really think you should give you and him another chance?"

Melina shook her head drinking her wine. "No, that's why I won't get back to him. I don't love him anymore. And he doesn't know how to treat a woman."

"He doesn't deserve you, Mel." He said while drinking his second glass. "You're so sensitive and so kind and so beautiful he really doesn't deserve to be around you."

Melina blushed and just looked away. "So, why aren't you with your wife?" She changed the topic, drinking her wine.

John sighed and looked at her. "We divorced 6 months ago, Mel."

~~ End of Flashback~~

She looked at him like she just woke up from a spell, meeting his worried blue eyes. "You said this to me before, John. I remem-"But she stopped as other flashbacks with her and Mickie altercation, then that day when she had the accident started running though her mind.

"Mel, are you alright? Mel?" She heard John's voice but she couldn't answer because another image appeared in front of her eyes. It was the day she had the accident. She had a fight with Mickie and John got mad at her…

~~Flashback~~

"I never meant to hurt you." She said with a crying voice. "I apologize if I did. You know you're my friend and I...love you John." She said to him, feeling hurt.

"Don't talk about love Melina, please." John snapped.

"Can you at least tell me what did I do that hurt you?" Melina asked with a loud tone.

John just looked at her. "Don't touch Mickie again!" He warned her.

Melina nodded in tears. "If that makes you happy, I won't. I won't get near her anymore, I will let her trash me if is necessary only to make you happy."

John turned around and looked out the window. "And one more thing..." He said as he closed his eyes and clenched his teeth. "Please, stay way from me."

Melina frowned. "Wh-What do you mean?"

He left out a sigh and turned around avoiding looking in her eyes. "I..I think it's better if we take a little distance and don't talk anymore, or have anything to do with each other."

"You mean, act like we were never friends, like completely strangers?" She asked and tears rolled down her cheeks. She felt like her heart had been snatched out her chest and been ripped off.

John swallowed hard. "Y-Yes. Just do it, it's for your own good."

Melina looked down and bit her bottom lip, forcing herself not to scream from such a pain. "I don't understand why you are doing this to me, we were getting along fine, and I..." she stopped and took a deep breath. "I started falling for you." She finally admitted. John looked at her with eyes wide open. "I... even wanted to ask you out, cause I...I really love you. I really felt we're meant to be, and I thought you feel the same way, but I was so wrong." She cried. Her words burnt his soul. "I will do what you asked me to. I won't get near you or your girlfriend anymore."

~~End of Flashback~~

Melina looked at John who was so near her that she could feel his breath on her lips. She felt exhausted now that she finally remembered everything. She did love him, but he didn't love her back, that was for sure.

"You don't love me…"She said and fainted as John caught her quickly.

"Mel! Melina!" He called out her name but she didn't move. He was so worried and holding her close when her mother and Morrison ran inside.

"What happened here?" Morrison asked angry, grabbing Melina from John's arms but his question didn't get any answer back.

"Take her upstairs, John." Her mother said and John took her from Morrison which annoyed him even more. He walked upstairs carrying his loved Melina in his arms followed by the old women. Melina gained her memory back, but John was so worried for his Latina to be alright, that he didn't care anymore. He wanted her safe.
