A/N – Hey everybody! Finally another update, sorry it took me so long but life has been just a little bit crazy at the moment.

Please review and let me know your thoughts, it makes everything easier!

Chapter 13:

It was the weekend of Extreme Rules, which meant that Nat and Colby were making the promotional rounds, leaving both superstars incredibly exhausted.

This was also the last time Nat would be in such high demand for a while, as she'd be dropping her title to Kelly Sunday night and officially starting her storyline with Jon, something which terrified her.

She hadn't spoken to him since seeing him backstage on Raw 2 weeks earlier which was the same night she hooked up with Wade (again) and the same night Jon and Renee had broken up, something she found out the next day when Jon showed up at her hotel room with flowers.

Flashback to Tuesday morning

It's 10am when Nat hears knocking on her hotel door, after a night out with Becky, Dolph and Wade, she wasn't really up for company and so was just hoping whoever was at the door would leave. But they didn't, and she was forced to get up and answer it after Wade, who ended up staying the night started to wake up because of it.

Walking over and opening the door slowly, Nat was shocked to come face to face with Jon, who had a hopeful look in his eye. He was dressed in his trademark jeans and t-shirt, accompanied by that leather jacket Nat loved so much, but his hands were tucked behind his back and his nerves were clear.

'Jon…what are you doing here?' Nat began, not knowing want to thing and not wanting to jump to the wrong conclusion.

'Heh…um yeah…listen can I come inside?' He responds, not wanting to have the conversation out in the open.

'Yeah…I don't think that's really a good idea…' Nat says, not wanting Wade and Jon to see each other, who knows what that, would start.

'Okay…fair…well um I wanted to give you these!' Jon says as he removes his hands from his back to reveal some roses, he wasn't into flowers but he knew he had some serious groveling to do with Nat, and this was his way of starting.

Confused, Nat only moved out into the hallway with Jon and shut her door, realizing this wasn't going to be a short conversation. 'Um, thanks Jon but I don't get it?'

'Okay well you see I had a revelation of sorts last night thanks to Joe and he made me realize that everything is my fault. The one good thing I have ever had going on in my life was you and I have always managed to screw it up. BUT that isn't going to happen anymore because I'm single now and you know I know you have a thing going on with the Brit but let's face facts he's not going to last because we always come back to each other one way or – '

'I'm sorry you're what now?' Nat asks, cutting Jon off, she could've sworn she heard him say 'single', but that couldn't be true and even if it was, so what?

Stopping mid ramble, Jon looks down at Nat and completely softens, this was the first time in a long time him and Nat had spoken to one another this intimately, there wasn't much distance between them anymore, and Nat was actually listening to him, looking at him with a different kind of expression than the one he'd gotten used to, the ones of hate, hurt, disgust even.

'Renee and I broke up' he said, and the minute he did he saw Nat exhale a breath he thinks even she didn't know she was holding, and for a long minute they just stood there in silence, Jon looking down at Nat, who couldn't make eye contact with him and instead tried to find anything else to look at.

'Nat…talk to me.' Jon says, using his hand to lift her chin up and forcing her to stare into his eyes, he wanted so badly to lean into her but he knew it would be too much too fast, as dumb as he had been the past few months, Jon had never been thinking clearer than in this moment.

Turning away again, Nat stepped away from Jon, tears beginning to fill her eyes, he had just told her something she hadn't realized she was waiting to hear, and furious with herself for it.

'I can't do this Jon…okay listen I just… no what you and Renee break up and you think that just fixes everything? No okay! You don't get to do that…that isn't how this works, too much has been done. I am done.' Nat says, getting ready to head back into her room before Jon steps in between her and the door, smacking himself against the door in the process.

'Nat just listen okay. I get it. I am an ass. But that doesn't mean you don't still have feelings for me okay…I screwed up… big time. And yeah you know what I have a lot of shit to make up for but let me make up for it! We can be happy I know now more than ever how perfect you are, how kind, caring, beautiful, smart, funny and just mesmerizing you are. Having to see you everyday for months and not be with you because of my fuckup was harder then all those years we were apart because at least then I could come up with excuses, but I cant now, I had to live with the guilt of hurting you and now I want to fix it…let me fix it.' Jon says, pleading, tears now starting to appear in his eyes, something he didn't expect and neither did Nat.

'No…Jon you can say all you want that its going to be different but it wont…it never is…It's good for a few weeks maybe even months and then you're just back to hurting me…I've been through that enough. And I just…can't do it again, not even for you.' Nat responds, her voice cracking and tears escaping her cheeks. She pushes a dejected Jon aside to open the door, but she doesn't have to because Wade does it for her, fully clothed and making his way out, not realizing what he just stepped into.

'You have got to be kidding me.' Jon snaps, livid at the fact Wade was on the other side of that door the entire time, had he underestimated him, was there more to his relationship with Nat than she let on?

Wade, looking down at Nat notices she's crying and puts a hand to her shoulder, 'You okay love?'

'She's fine!' Jon answers, stepping up to the Brit.

'Don't believe I asked you Good…' Wade responds, not even looking up at Jon and instead moving Nat into her hotel room and giving her space, giving her a quick goodbye which she returns before shutting the door, leaving the two men alone.

'So…how does it feel?' Jon asks.

'How does what feel Jon?' Wade retorts, knowing that making an enemy of Jon Good was not the best idea, but he just didn't see any other option.

'Being second choice? Because really you have to know that's all you are right? I mean that's all Devitt was for YEARS, just ask him? Even went and asked her to marry him and look where they are now.' Jon taunts, making it clear to Wade that what he had with Nat was nothing compared to Jon's history with her.

'Ah yes but Jon thing is, those times…I wasn't in the picture so she didn't have me to compare you to…now she does… now I'm not saying that her and I are going to get married hell I'm not saying we are even going to date I WILL say though that whatever we do…it'll be her choice, and you're going to have to deal with that.' Wade responds, walking away and leaving Jon in a state of shock.

Back to present

Snapping out of her trance, Nat is sitting down with a tired Colby back at the hotel, they'd finally finished their last radio interview for the day and were hoping to just sit back and relax.

They also decided the weekend would be 'Nat and Colby Best Friend Appreciation Day' as Nat so lovingly named it, as it would be the last weekend they would share together as an official WWE onscreen couple. After the PPV Nat would slowly be aligning with Jon and by Payback, she would be feuding with him against Colby, meaning they couldn't be seen traveling together any longer.

It hadn't hit either of them how much they were going to miss being together constantly until that weekend. No one else seemed to realize how close the two were, they did absolutely everything together and in some ways Colby was the big brother Nat always wanted. Even though they were still going to be seeing each other all the time, they didn't know how to act as though they hated each other, that just didn't make sense to either of them.

'So what're we watching?' Colby asks Nat, who had a stack of DVDs and junk food already prepared.

'We are starting off with Goonies, because as if we wouldn't be!' Nat responds, having changed into pj's despite it being only 3pm.

Chuckling, Colby sat down next to her and got comfortable. It wasn't long before the two started talking during the film, with Colby casually mentioning Jon, knowing Nat would be dealing with him a lot more.

'Yeah I don't want to talk about Jon.'

'Nat you need to.'

'No I don't!'

'Yeah you do.'

'No.'

'Yeah.'

'Colby…Shut up!' Nat says childishly, knowing the champion wouldn't be budging anytime soon.

'Okay…what?'

'I just want to know where your head is at okay…Jon is single now…you're single… still in love with him….'

'EXCUSE ME'

'Okay seriously we are past the 'pretending I hate Jon but really I'm still in love with him' act okay Nat?' Colby says, laughing at Nat's reaction.

'Okay so I still love him and what? You're always going to love an ex, a part of them at least…but that doesn't mean he is good for me…he's not good for me…all he does is hurt me…and saying he won't again means nothing…he's said it too many times before.'

'But what if this time is different? What if Jon really has realized how stupid he was…Nat I've seen him now and he's different, something's changed in him and I think maybe this time it could work….' Colby suggests, truly believing that if she gave him just one more chance, Jon wouldn't screw things up again.

'Thing is I've heard that before Colby, and somehow I still ended up here…'
