THIS SUCKS BIG TIME… 6 MONTHS TO A YEAR WITH NO JOHN CENA :'( ANYWAYS, THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS: 101mizzpoet101, Cena130, techwiz, csimiamigirl73 NOW ON WITH THE STORY.
It's been about a month and I am now 6 months along. I think I look fat and ugly but John keeps telling me that I am more beautiful than ever. Of course he would say that. John and I are packing our things; we have a flight to catch later. We are staying at Darci and Kim's for a week.
We just got off the plane and got our bags. We spotted Darci and I ran up to her and gave her a big hug.
"Hey there Steph, miss me much?" she asked
"Of course I miss you. Where's your better half?" I laughed
"Better huh? She's at home cleaning up"
"Cleaning? She doesn't have to clean for us" I said, obviously
"But she wants to. Hey John" she gave him a hug
"Hey Darc, what's up?" he asked
"Nothin much. You've been taking good care of my niece and grand-nieces?"
"Of course I have" John smiled and put his arm around me.
"And just so you know, they will call you and Kim aunt, so you don't have to feel old"
"That's awesome"
We walk into the house. "Why are all the lights off?" I asked as I flipped them on.
"SURPRISE!" I hear as everyone jumped out. I look around the room and I see; Kim, Amy, Randy, Matt, Dave and Ken.
"A baby shower? You guys didn't have to do this" I stated
"Ah, but we did" Kim gave me a hug.
"Thanks guys" I said and went around and gave everyone a hug as I caught up with them.
"Hey Davey, how are you?"
"I'm good but it's lonely at school without ya"
"I'm sorry. Did you ever hook up with that one chic?" I couldn't remember her name.
"Ashley Masarro?" he asked
"Ya, her"
"Yep" he smiled
"So how's that going?"
"Fantastic, we've been going strong for the past 4 months"
"Congratulations Davey, I wanna actually meet her before we go back"
"That can be arranged" he smiled
"Thanks" then I walked over to Matt and Ken.
"Hey guys what's up?"
"Not much" Matt answered
"Same old same old" Ken stated
"So, any new women I should know about?" I asked. It's been about 7 months since I've seen them, I'd like to know if my friends are in any relationships.
"Nope" they both said and smiled at each other.
"What? Are there not any girls good enough?" I asked
"Girls?...Matt started
"…Nope" Ken finished
"What are you guys talking about?" I was confused
"Well we both are in a relationship" Matt stated
"I thought you guys said there weren't any new girls"
"There aren't" Ken answered
"What?" Then Ken and Matt kissed.
"Oh, I see. Since when? Ken didn't you have a crush on me a long time ago?" I asked
"I did. I'm bi, so I'll swing either way" Ken smiled
"Same here" Matt added
"Why didn't you guys ever tell me?"
"Cause we thought you would try to hook us up, since you were friends with so many guys" Ken answered
"You're probably right. Are you guys happy?"
"Yes, very" Matt said as he put his arm around Ken.
"Congratulations"
"Thanks" they both said. Then I walked over to Amy and Randy.
"Hey sis" Randy gave me a hug
"Hey bro, hey Ames" I then gave Amy a hug. "You guys still going strong, I see"
"Of course" Randy gave Amy a kiss.
"How are you and John?" Amy asked
"Fantastic. He makes me so happy…" I was cut off by John putting his arm around my waist.
"Talkin about me?" he asked and gave me a kiss.
"I always am" I smiled
"You guys are really cute together" Randy said
"Oh my god, did Randy Orton just say the word cute?" John asked
"I believe he did" I laughed
"Shut up" he pouted "It's true though"
"Thanks Randy" I said
"Steph, can I talk to you alone for a minute" Amy asked
"Sure" then we went upstairs to my old room. "What's up?" I asked as we sat on the bed.
"Well… It's… I know you probably don't want to hear about him but…"
"Ames, just spit it out"
"It's Jeff"
"What about him?" I asked
"We're all really worried about him"
"Why? What's wrong?"
"Well, he's slipped into a really deep depression. He doesn't talk to anybody except Matt and then it's only a few words"
"Why should I care?"
"Steph" she tried to reason with me.
"What? I stopped caring when he decided that he didn't wanna be friends anymore. You even tried talking to him then and he still didn't want to. Just as you said, he made his bed now he has to lie in it"
"And that's all he does"
"What?"
"That's all he does, is lie in his bed. Please atleast try to talk to him"
"Why should I?"
"We've tried everyone else. Please" she begged. And Amy never begs for ANYTHING.
"OK fine. Lets go" so we went back downstairs. "John; Amy and I are gonna see Jeff real quick, I'll be right back" I gave him a kiss.
"Alright, we'll open presents when you guys get back"
"Sounds good" I said and we left. We got to the house and Gilbert (Matt and Jeff's dad) answered the door.
"Stephanie" he gave me a big hug.
"Hey Gil, how are you?" I asked
"I'm good. How far along are you now?" I always liked Gil, I'm glad he doesn't have chip on his shoulder cause of what happened.
"About 6 months now" I stated as Amy and I walked in the house.
"You gonna bring them around?"
"Of course I will"
"So you heard about Jeff?" he was obviously worried about his son.
"Ya. Amy thought that maybe I should try talking to him"
"He's in his room. Good luck"
"Thanks" I said as Amy followed "Let me go alone" I told her
"Alright" she said, then I knocked on his door and walked in.
"Hey Jeff" I said as he looked over at me and sat up in his bed. "How are you?" I asked
He put a thumbs down. "Come on, why don't you talk to anybody?"
He shrugged his shoulders. "Is it because of me?" I asked, then he looked down.
"That's bullshit" I stated and he gave me one of those 'how do you figure?' looks.
"Because I still wanted to be friends. You're the idiot that said you couldn't be" then he flipped me off.
"I can one up you" so then I flipped him of then said "You're an asshole"
Then he flipped me off with both hands. "That's pathetic" I did the same then said "Bastard"
"Fuck you" he stated
"I got the mute to talk" I said cockily
"You're a bitch" he stated
"And how is that?"
"You cheated on me"
"Don't start this shit again. Look Jeff, I apologized for that. We were both drunk, shit happens. I wanted to still be with you. But I'll admit I had some pent up feelings for John. I told you that, I even flat out said that I was breaking up with you for John and you were OK with it, or so I thought. Then you decide we can't be friends. Then you go into this deep depression. Why? Because I'm not in your life? Well that's your own damn fault. Find someone else and be happy with her" I was calm about it, I didn't raise my voice.
"Get the fuck out of my room and get the fuck out of my life!" he yelled as he pointed to the door.
"What? Problems with me telling the truth? Fine, have a nice life" I said and stormed out. On my way out I stopped and gave Gilbert a hug. "Sorry Gil, he did talk but it wasn't much. Don't worry I'll make sure to bring the girls to see you"
"Thanks Stephanie"
"No problem" I said and Amy and I left.
"So what happened?" Amy asked on our way back to Darci and Kim's.
"Well, Jeff's become an asshole" I simply said
"And…"
"I walked in…" I told her what happened
"You tried"
"Sorry" I said as we pulled into the driveway.
"Whose car is that?" she asked me
"I don't know. I've never seen it before" I said as we walked up to the house and we heard a gunshot. We walk into the house quietly and we see my real mom.
"Is that…" Amy whispered
"Ya, that's my real mom. Find something blunt" I whispered back as I looked in the house and I see Kim on the floor and a puddle of blood starting to form underneath her.
"ANYBODY MOVES AND YOU GET THE SAME FATE!" she yells
"How's this?" Amy whispered as she handed me a little metal statue of David.
"Perfect"
"What do we do?" she asked
"HEY THERE SIS, HOW'S IT GOING?" she said as she grabbed Darci and held her at gun point.
"Well I sneak up behind her, hoping she don't see us and I bash her over the head with it"
"What do you want me to do?"
"Sneak back outside and get far enough away that she won't hear you and call the cops"
"OK" she says and goes out side. I quietly go up behind her. I'm glad her back is to the door. I stand up behind her and she whips around.
"WHAT DO YOU THINK…" she started to yell but I hit her in the head as hard as I could and she fell to the ground. I grabbed the gun, and then Darci and I went and checked on Kim.
"Honey, speak to me please" Darci said
"Kim, please still be alive. Where did she shoot her at?" I asked
"Somewhere in the chest"
"What happened?"
"We all were sitting around talking when she walked in. Her and Kim started arguing. Kim got up and was yelling at her to get out and as Kim was getting closer to her she shot her…"
"I saw everything after that, the cops should be here shortly" I started to cry "Kim please wake up" I said as we both checked her pulse and couldn't find one.
"Steph, is she OK?" John asked as everyone started to crowd around.
"I got it" I told Darci "Come on guys; let's go back into the living room"
"I called the cops and I told them to bring an ambulance too" Amy walked in "Is everyone OK?" she asked
"No Ames, Kim's gone" I started to ball.
"No?" Amy couldn't believe it.
"Ya" I said and she hugged me and we both cried. "Can someone tie that bitch up incase she wakes up please" I said in between tears as I pointed to my real mom.
"Ya" Randy said as him and John dragged her away.
"Wait" I said as they dragged her past me. I kicked her in the stomach as hard as I could and then I punched her in the face. "OK" I said and they dragged her into the living room and tied her to a chair as everyone kept an eye on her.
The cops came and handcuffed her and put her in the cop car and took down everybody's statements. The paramedics declared Kim deceased on the spot. After they took Kim away I went to Darci.
I gave her a huge hug "Come on Darci, lets go back inside. You're gonna catch a cold" I was still crying. She reluctantly came with me. We sat down in the living room with everyone else.
"If you all want to leave. I'll understand" Darci stated
"No, we're all gonna stay with you tonight" Matt said
"You need some company" Dave added
"You really don't have to" Darci argued
"We want to" Ken said
"You guys were always there for us when we needed it and we're gonna be here for you" Randy said and gave Darci a hug.
"Thanks guys. This means a lot" Darci tried to dry her tears. "Steph, why don't you open the presents"
"Darci, I can't. Not right after…"
"She would want us to" Darci said
"Alright, just for Kim" so I open the first one. It's from Ken and Matt. It was two little onesies, one said "DOUBLE" and the other said "TROUBLE". "You guys, they're so cute" I said
"Well they have you and John as parents and that's just asking for trouble" Ken said, so I stuck my tongue out at him.
"This ones from Amy and Randy" John handed me the box. They were two bibs. One said "I love my aunt" and the other said "I love my uncle". "I wonder whose idea this was" I eyed Amy as they were pointing at each other.
"This one is from me but Ashley helped me pick it out" Dave handed me the present. It was two navy blue outfits that had black socks and black hats to go with them. "She has great tastes Davey, keep her" they all laughed
"And this one is from Kim and I" Darci brought in two big boxes.
"Darc, are these?" John started to say.
"Ya, we got you guys cribs" Darci finished
"You guys didn't have to do that" I gave her a hug.
"But you guys need them"
"Thanks Darc" John gave her a hug.
"So what's next on the agenda?" Ken asked
"Well you guys are all more than welcome to go home" Darci informed them
"No, we said we were staying here for you. We are staying the night" Dave gave her a hug.
"Thank you guys. Atleast call your parents and let them know" Darci told them
As everyone did that I followed Darci into the kitchen.
"You have great friends" Darci told me.
"I know, and they really care about you too. Let's all watch 'The Great Outdoors' for old times" I suggested
"That was Kim's favorite"
"I know" I said. We all got sleeping bags and got comfortable in the living room. Darci slept on one couch and John and I slept on the other. Randy and Amy was lying in front of the couch John and I was on. Dave was lying in front of the couch Darci was on and Ken and Matt laid in the middle of the room. It was a little bit of a tight squeeze but we made it fit. We watched all of Kim's favorite movies that night. It was a sad day but we tried to make the bet of it.
