The next day they released Jade from the hospital. All her test came back clear except for the lapse of memory which they told her was normal. Of course she was told if she remembered anything to let them & the police know. She wasn't planning on either. Catching a cab to the hotel after protesting by the hospital she got to the front desk. After many apologies by the manager she was given a note from Titan office for her to go home & take at least 2 weeks vacation.
Normally any of them would be happy for a small vacation; she was just worried about two things. One she just got there to be gone already would not do well for fan base. Two could Krys stay away from John long enough till she could figure out what was going on.
It was only a few days that Jade was off the road when while Krys was out with Gayda shopping her cell phone began to ring. They both stopping looking at it before Krys picked it up. Not recognizing the # she slowly opened it putting it to her ear.
"Hello?"
"Krys?"
"Yea who's this?"
"Marc."
"Mark who?"
"Johns cuz Marc."
"HEY CRACKHEAD."
"WHAT?...What ever..."
"Hey what you want?"
"Question...you think John been acting a little odd lately?"
"Honestly...a lil is putting it mildly."
"Why what he been doing around you?"
"Well I can't go into everything right now...but lets see. Meaner, controlling, possessive, jealous, & I think something else I haven't been able to confirm."
"What...just so I have some idea...please Krys."
"I am worried he attacked a friend of mine...so bad Titan sent them off the road for a few weeks."
"Damn...well I guess I wasn't imagining the mood swings. He got into a few fights around here too."
"When it start for you?"
"It started about 2 months ago...you guys just got picked up by Titan. For some odd reason he went to check out an old fort we had as kids. He really didn't tell me why. He was acting odd ever since he got back from it."
"Ok Marc thanks...I'll be careful."
"K be in touch."Krys hung up the phone putting it away.
"Mark?"
"No the one I bet you're thinking of...it was John Cuz."
"Oh what he want?"
"It seems John is acting odd off the road as well."
"Well all that much more to try to steer clear of him."
"Yea but that is hard when you manage him."
"Well we will work something out."
Back at the hotel Cena was pacing in his room. He felt so confused, lost what was happening to him? He knew Krys stopped rooming with him for some reason but he didn't know why. Whenever he tried to figure it out it only led to a massive headache. Nothing had made sense over the last month or so. He had trouble remembering certain events, almost like holes in his memory or blackouts. He felt he couldn't report it...he just got there & couldn't afford to be sent off the road for some doctor to check him out. Pulling out his cell he dials & waits.
"Hey...yea it's me...whoa...um what type greeting that for your fav cuz?...what you mean?...Hey I act the way I always have man...from who?...Krys? What she say?...What, come on you know me...what you mean thought you did?...you sure?...honestly I don't know... OK if I can track her down...I 'm not sure...like who?...no, no doctors that's the last thing I need...A man possessed hmm...isn't that a little over the top?... OK later man." Hanging up the phone he calls the front desk & leaves a note for Krys before laying down.
When the girls got back to the hotel Jackie stopped to check for any messages. She was handed a note for Krys. Looking over at her before walking over with it.
"This was left for you hun."
"Thanks maybe it's Jade." Taking it she opens it looking it over a faintly confused look crosses her face.
"What it is? Bad news?"
"Not sure yet...it's from John, he really wishes to talk to me."
"Ignore it girl...only trouble there."
"But what if it is something serious?"
"What like he wants to try to beat you up?"
"No like he wants to explain or apologize?"
"I doubt that...but if you want, I'll come up with you."
"Thanks." Both women turn heading for the elevator.
Reaching Cena's room Krys knocks then waits. Then knocks again.
"Maybe he went out?"
"Maybe..." Just then the door opens.
"Hey Krys..."
"Hey...you said you wanted to see me?"
"Yea but I was expecting you alone."
"I figured, but with how you had been lately...I didn't know if it was wise."
"How I had been? Pl...please come in." Krys nodding she entered first with Jackie behind her. He seemed different some how. John shut the door then walked to sit. "Krys hun...how have I been acting?"
"A overly possessive, jealous jerk."
"When?"
"That last few weeks...almost since you came here...I almost regretted you getting contacted by Titan."
John looks down rubbing his head. "I don't remember...honestly."
"Nothing?"
"Well nothing that I can connect to acting the way you say I was...some things are hard for me to remember."
"Do you remember the night we fought at the arena? Jeff came over to stop it, & I stayed in another room?"
"No...I..I just know one day you just stopped rooming with me...about a week ago with no explanation."
"How about you thinking I was breaking up with you?"
"No...I did?...did we?"
"Not exactly...just your actions...I stayed away for a few days so far. I was planning on longer till we figure out what's been going on. "
"Why I worried there is more?"
"Not much except Marc said you were acting odd at home too. Getting into fights with him & your brothers...real arguments & fights. That and...we...well a friend of mine got attacked about a week ago."
John tried not to act shocked. "You think I did it?"
"We don't know...she don't remember who did it."
"She?"
"Yea...Jade...the girl I told you about in OVW. The one that is like a sister to me...That's the other thing. Since you started acting this way...you always found some way of insulting her or belittling her around me." John closed his eyes lowering his head into his hand.
"I do..don't remember any of it...I...I remember coming back to the arena alone...then going to sleep. That's all."
"Ok John...if you say so...look I have plans tonight...I'll catch you later?"
"Ok sweetie...stay safe." Krys against better judgment gave him a hug before leaving with Jackie. She felt something was wrong...off with him but what?
