Chapter 13: Explain!

Straight after the movie, Alexis decided to head to bed. Batista and Karen decided to watch another movie in the lounge and John escorted Mickie to her hotel room.

"Dave."

"Yes, dear. What's wrong?" Dave asked his girlfriend.

"Well…um…did you notice anything strange about John and Alex?" Karen asked turning to face Dave.

"Yah. Why?" Dave asked.

"Oh thank goodness…I thought I was the only one. So what do you think is…you know…different?" "John listened to Alex's advice, you know, about dating Mickie. He usually doesn't care what she thinks. What do you think?" Dave replied.

"Um…oh…me…well…the same as you. Forget about it honey. Let's watch!" Karen said, as she lied to her boyfriend.

"Well I'll be seeing ya." John stated, as he left Mickie by her door.

"Um…John, would you like to come in?" Mickie asked John optimistically.

"Huh, Yeah…Mickie..um, I need to tell you something." John told Mickie, as he entered her hotel room

"Yeah sure John, what's happening?" Mickie asked, as she started changing in front of John.

"Well…you see…you're a great girl…and everything…and…I..um…" John said, as he tried to get the right words to come out.

"John cut the crap…What's your point?" Mickie said, her hands in her hips, as she stared John dead in his eyes.

"I…um… I'm in love with someone and well it ain't ya. I'm sorry its….just…um-" John was cut of by a tight slap on his face.

"Ouch!"

"So you come into my life, hang out with me, cuddle with me, bring me to my hotel room, come inside, watch me strip, then you tell me you love someone else! John Cena you are a Jerk! Get the hell out of my hotel room, now!" Mickie said, as she threw objects at John until he left. She locked the door, fell to her knees and started crying.

"Well that went well! It could have been worse!" John said optimistically, as he rubbed his cheek and went back to his hotel room.

"Hey Cena. Back so soon. Thought you would stay over." Batista said, as he winked at John. Just then Alexis came out if her room. "Hey guys, still up I see!" Alex said, as she sat on the couch.

"Well, I ended it with Mickie!" John stated. Everyone turned to look at him.

"Why would you do that?" Karen asked John.

"Cause…we are not meant to be. I'm going to get something to snack. Anyone wants anything?" John asked, as he headed to the kitchen.

"Oh John, I'll join you!" Karen yelled, as she quickly went to the kitchen with John.

"Night Dave!" Alex said, as she gave Dave a hug and went to her room.

"Night kid!" Dave replied, as he started falling asleep on the couch.

"So John…um…what happened…with you and Mickie?" Karen asked, as she cut a roll to make a sandwich.

"Um…nothing. It's just that Trish forced me into saying yes, and I don't really feel anything for Mickie. Tomato?" John said, as he offered Karen a piece of sliced tomato for her sandwich.

"No thanks. So how was the movie?" Karen asked John, as she handed him a sandwich and John poured coke for the two of them.

"Aight." John replied, biting into his sandwich.

"Really? John don't bullshit me…you got some explaining to do, mister!" Karen said sternly. John was confused.

"What are you talking about?" John retorted, as he drank some coke.

"You said the movie was 'Aight'… but how would you know…you were staring at Alex the entire time. You then come here, telling us you and Mickie are over. I need you to explain! Now!"

"Aight fine, but you can't tell anyone, not even Dave. Promise?"

"Yeah. I promise." Karen pulled out a chair and sat and so did John. John told Karen about the kiss and about his feelings for Alex. "I just don't understand why she doesn't want to admit that there is something between us."

"Well John…it's a long story."

"I got all the time in the world!" John responded. Karen told John everything about Keith and how he broke Alex's heart.

"That's why she tries hard not to fall in love. John, she's afraid of being hurt again."

"Jackass. Why would a guy leave Alex. She's perfect." John replied.

"Well…um…he didn't want to marry Alex cause…I'm sorry John. I can't tell you,"

"Please Karen. You know I would never hurt her. Please." John said literally begging.

"Alex…Alex….can't…she can't…" Karen said, not noticing Alex had been eavesdropping on their conversation.

"Alex can't what?" Alex asked, as she got herself a glass of water.

"Oh…nothing!" Karen said.

"Go on tell him what you wanted to say…" Alex replied.

"um…I…sorry!" Karen said, as she looked away.

"Well John, I'll tell you. Alex can't have kids. That's why Keith never married her or never wanted too. When I was young my mum and step dad were fighting and he started hitting her. I tried to stop him and he took a knife and stabbed me in my womb. Oh and Karen it's okay…better that John found out sooner then later. " Alex said, as she wiped the tears from her eyes.

"After all, what good is a woman if she can't have kids. Night you two." Alexis stated , as she left the kitchen and went to the room.

Karen went after Alexis and hugged her best friend and comforted her.

"I'm so sorry Alex…It's just tha-" Karen was cut of by her best friend.

"Hey honey. Don't worry. It's best John knows. Plus if I want any rascals running around the house, I'll just come visit you." Alex said, as she laughed and hugged her best friend. Karen smiled, " Yah…you can train the little brats. After all they have to be kick ass."

"You betcha."

Whilst the girls spoke about good times and stuff in their room, a stunned John Cena sat and remembered each and every word that Alex had said.
