After RAW
John sat in his locker room, looking at his new prize. Vince had made a change in the script last minute. He looked at his spinning belt on his shoulder. Vince wanted to keep him so bad so he had Edge give him the title in a No Holds Barred match. He looked up at the ceiling. He wasn't in a good mood. Yeah he just won the WWE Championship, the most prized championship in all of WWE. But earlier that night with Courtney, he couldn't get it out of his head. His phone vibrated. He hurried to pick it up, hoping it was Maria. Instead, he got a text message. He opened it and saw what was on it. It was pictures of him and Courtney kissing. John's jaw dropped. On the top it said 'Forwarded' meaning that the person must have sent it to Maria already. John quick called Maria, hoping that she would pick up. Damn it was her voice mail. He shut his phone and threw it in his bag. He would have thrown it at the wall but that would have been his 5th phone he's broken. Courtney came in and sat next to him. John got off the bench and went to the other side of the room.
"John what's on your mind?"
"Why did I kiss you Court?"
"You think I know these things? I kissed back because Dave is an ass and I hate myself for not realizing that before. John I still love you."
John was taken back by Courtney's remark. She still loved him. John sat down on the ground with the title in his hand.
"Courtney….someone
got pictures. They sent them to Maria and who knows who
else."
Courtney was shocked. But John had closed the door all
the way! Suddenly her phone vibrated. It was a message. She opened it
and saw the pictures. She set her phone down and looked at the wall.
"John I'm so sorry."
"No. This time it's not your fault. It's mine."
"But I could take the blame! You and Maria have been through enough!"
"Either way I'm screwed with her. Even if you did say you kissed me she would accuse me of kissing you back."
"We'll say that you had no choice! John please let me take the blame."
"I can't let you do that. Honestly, I would think you would be all evil and make me suffer."
"Some cases I would. But I care about you too much. I see the way you look at Maria. You loved her more then you loved me. I have to go and find my brother. If I can help in any way, please call me."
Courtney walked out and left the door open on the way out. John leaned his head back and closed his eyes. They have had a lot of trouble between them. This would be the icing on the cake. He got up and closed the door. But Amy opened the door again.
"Amy! Your back! How are you?"
"I'm fine John. Don't worry about me. Yes I already saw Adam if you really want to know. I'm just letting you know that after Cyber Sunday, I'm retiring."
"What? No you can't! Your one of the actual good divas! You and Trish built wat the WWE divas are today."
"I've been around for a while John. It's my time to go. But, I have a confession to make."
"You can tell me anything Amy. You know that."
Amy sighed. This was going to be harder then she thought.
"I was the one who took the pictures of you and Courtney. I sent them only to you, Courtney and Maria."
John stepped back. Was he really hearing right? Amy had went behind his back.
"Why Amy?"
"Maria has been through too much pain with you! I know your engaged and she has a beautiful ring! But what your doing to her is not fair. Just because she miles away doesn't mean you can kiss your ex."
John sat down on his bench. He looked at his phone. The pictures were still on his phone. She closed it and looked at Amy.
"OK. I did wrong. And you actually did the right thing."
Amy was stunned.
"I did? I mean, yeah I did. Maria needs to know these things."
"But I have one question for you."
"You can tell me anything."
John laughed a sarcastic laugh.
"You know when you were abused my 'Matt?'"
"I was."
"Bull shit. Matt was with us and you know it. You wanted to cover up for a certain someone."
Amy was busted. But how did he know?
"What do you know?"
"I know that Adam wasn't with is that night. He left the car we were all in saying he left something in the arena and that he'll catch up with us later. And the way he was worried about you? He didn't wat you to go rat him out. And he looked at you weird when you were in the ambulance. Adam abused you didn't he?"
Amy was shocked at the information John knew. He was smarter then she thought he was.
"Name your price."
"You call Maria and tell her that those were from when me and Courtney were dating. I won't tell Vince who actually abused you."
Amy thought about this. At first, she was gonna take the deal. But something told her not to.
"No can do John."
Just then his phone rang. It was Maria.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Maria was sitting at the gate to New Jersey with Paul signing autographs. She answered the ECW question about 100 times. Yes she kept count. Finally security lured them away. Maria and Paul had some peace and quiet.
"You will love ECW Maria. No holds barred. Fans are far more extreme then any other fans I know. And having you on ECW will make it much more better then it already is."
Maria nodded. She was kinda looking forward to ECW. But she still missed WWE and John. They had watched RAW earlier that night on the TV in the airport. It will be the only way she would see John until Cyber Sunday. Then her phone vibrated. She thought she turned it off. She opened it to see that she had received a text message. It was from Amy. Was she back? She was gonna open it, but they had to board the plane. She got on the plane and opened the text message. She found pictures. There was John…but he was with someone else. Kissing another girl. She had brown hair. Stunning features might she add. The shirt the girl was wearing. It was her shirt. She gave it to Courtney since Maria didn't want it anymore. It was a "Mrs. Dave Batista" shirt that Maria had from ways back. It was Courtney John was kissing! She shut her phone. Tears started to form in her eyes. Paul saw the tears.
"Maria what's wrong?"
Maria couldn't tell him the truth. So she lied.
"I guess I'm scared."
"Maria. ECW will welcome you with open arms. Don't be scared. And you'll see John at Cyber Sunday! You have that to look forward to."
No she didn't. She looked at her ring. She wanted to take it off and throw it off the plane. Maria excused herself and went into the bathroom. She opened her phone and called John. It took him a while to answer the phone. Finally he answered. His voice was all shaky.
"I know why your calling."
"What? No 'hello babe I miss you and love you'?"
"That's not the point right now."
"Your right. Skip all that shit. You kissed Courtney and I have pictures to prove it. May I ask why before I take off this ring and save it so I can throw it at your head?"
The line was silent for a while. Maria was afraid that she had gone to far. But John had crossed the line.
"I don't know what I was thinking. I know that's my excuse for a lot of things…"
"Damn right!"
"…But it's the truth. I wasn't thinking. I missed you and….god Maria I am so sorry. I shouldn't have been so stupid."
Maria had tears running down her cheeks. She hated doing this.
"I'm sorry to John. Maybe me going to ECW is a good thing. This break should be good for us."
"Break? Who said anything about a break?"
"I am now. John I love you please don't doubt that. But what you did tonight….it broke my heart. I need to think about things. We need a break."
A flight attendant pounded on the door.
"Mam please go to your seat."
"Hold up will ya?!"
She heard the flight attendant stomp away and huff.
"John we need a break. I need to go. But get your act together and I'll see if your worthy of my love or not."
Maria hung up. She got out of the bathroom and sat back down. Cyber Sunday was 3 weeks away. 3 weeks of thinking for both of them. 3 weeks……
