Unforgiven

Maria was walking backstage, sulking as usual. She hadn't been the same since February. She regretted not getting off the plane to go see him. If she just shoved Courtney out of the way. That damn flight attendant. Being on the same show as John has been hell for her. She had tried to ignore him at all costs. But it's been hard. One time she had to do an interview with him, and that wasn't pretty. It was fights before and after the promo. But tonight was different somehow. She wasn't watching where she was walking and walked right into John. He stared down at her with fire in his eyes.

'Guess he hasn't gotten over it yet.'

She stepped back and started walking again. But John grabbed her wrist and pulled back.

"Don't think your getting away that easy."

"John please let go."

"Not till you tell me what happened."

"It was Courtney..."

"Oh don't blame Court for this! You could have gotten off that plane and you knew it. I loved you Maria. Why did you run?"

Maria felt tears run down her cheeks. She couldn't help it anymore.

"I couldn't take it! You and I were so different and I was…..scared."

"Why! It didn't matter if we were different! You shouldn't have cared about my family! They didn't matter! What were you scared about?"

"I don't know!"

She slapped him. She didn't know why she did, but she did. She immediately regretted doing just that after she did it. She stepped back and ran to her room. John stood there in shock. Courtney walked up behind him and kissed his cheek.

"Another run in babe?"

"Yeah. At least my girlfriend went to visit me in the hospital."

Courtney forgot about that day totally. It came back to her clear as crystal.

Courtney walked into John's room. He was sitting up watching coverage about his own crash. She hesitated, but went ahead.

"Scary isn't it?"

John looked at her, and then looked back to the TV again.

"Where's Maria?"

"I saw her in the airport. She saw the news, shrugged her shoulders, and walked onto the plane. It seemed she didn't care. I'm sorry John."

But she wasn't. It was just how she planned it. But seeing that single tear roll down John's cheek broke her heart. She wanted to call Maria's phone and tell her to get her ass to the hospital, but it was too late.

"She didn't care…"

Those words echoed in his head for a long time. He knew that was the end of it.

"Court come here."

She walked to his bed and sat down. She was greeted wit ha passionate kiss.

"The past is the past. Come back to me."

She took him in a second.

She shook her head. Coming back to reality she realized she was all alone in the hall. When she made sure there was no one there, she got on her knees, and cried.

Randy was on the phone with Dave in his locker room.

"Can you still believe what Maria did?"

"Yeah we couldn't bring out the plan."

"Who cares about that? Maria totally left John!"

"Why do you care? Your sister got what she wanted! And I got what I wanted!"

Randy heard Trish giggle in the background. He figured they were in her locker room.

"Whatever man. I gotta get ready. Later."

He hung up the phone and set it on the bench. He reviewed that day in his head.

Randy was watching the TV in the airport. His and Dave's jaw dropped. His sister called him.

"All is said and done my brother."

"No Courtney. Don't go."

"Babe! Maria totally didn't care! She just got on the plane! This is my chance!"

Maria got on the plane? Why wasn't she running through the airport to catch a taxi?

"Go for it."

He hung up the phone. He felt so bad for even thinking about the plan. But he couldn't do anything now. Maria left John and that was her fault. He wondered why she left though…

He came back to Jonathan in his room.

"Randy you're on in 10."

"Thanks man."

Jonathan left Randy's room in confusion. As Randy left his room, he could hear Maria crying. Hearing her cry made a tear run down his cheek.

Trish tried to get Dave off of her, but he wouldn't budge.

"Dave I gotta warm up!"

"But we just did 15 minutes ago!"

"Not that warm up! An actual warm up!"

Fine then!"

He kissed her and walked out of the room. Trish suddenly got a text from Maria.

BrokenToAMillionPieces: I kno wat I have 2 do.

Trish got confused.

StratusfactionGiver: Waddya mean babe?

BrokenToAMillionPieces: Johns going to SD. All because of me.

Finally Trish figured out what she was going to do. She was not going to leave the company like that! She shut her phone and ran into the hall. Jonathan grabbed her and pushed her the other way.

"Jon no not now!"

"Your match! Go go go go!"

Before her song hit, tears streaked down her cheeks. Not because this was her last match (even though that was part of it) Maria was going to cost John the title.
