Sorry for the delay! I've been busy with a lot of stuff going on. Thanks for the reviews, favorites, everything! You are awesome! (: And I should really re-read my chapters before posting them lol. Sorry for the typos in the first chapter, just noticed them.
Maci was so excited to be in Phoenix, especially with her best friend. "Jhen, what about this dress?" She asked as she walked out of the dressing room. It was a one-shouldered, indigo blue satin dress that went to the floor. Maci loved the color, seeing as blue was her favorite color.
Jhen looked over at her, she was beautiful. "Maci, absolutely, this is the one!" She exclaimed. "You look stunning in it!"
"Really?" Maci questioned. She hadn't heard anything like that since before she had gotten with Josh. He had only ever told her she looked horrible in everythinStunning. Beautiful. Gorgeous. Everything!" Jhen could tell something was wrong; Maci looked like she had wanted to cry. "Maci, it's true. You're better off without Josh."
Maci's hazel eyes filled with tears. "I feel like I can't do better than him though." She wiped the tears away that had started to fall. "I hate what he's done to me."
Jhen's heart broke for her best friend. She didn't even know how Josh could do that to such a beautiful girl. "You'll find the most amazing guy, I promise. He'll treat you like a queen and that's what you deserve and you know you can do better than Josh, you just have to forget him."
"I'm trying. It's quite possibly that hardest thing I've ever had to do aside from seeing you move away."
"What the heck is going on?" Maci asked as the trio walked into Baby's Steak and Lemonade for dinner and noticed a huge crowd around two or three tables.
"Somebody famous is here probably." Chase replied looking up above all the people. He was the tallest of the group, reaching 6'3". "Oh, it's Cody Rhodes."
"It's your boo Maci!" Jhen teased. Maci blushed as she looked away. "Let's go sit down somewhere so I don't embarrass myself."
Five minutes later the crowd seemed to be dying down and they had ordered their food and drinks when Maci's phone started ringing. She was shocked when she saw that it was Josh. As tempting as it was to press ignore she wanted to be the bigger person. She excused herself as she rushed outside after answering the call. "Hello?"
"Hey Mac."
"Josh, don't even start." She stated.
"I miss you Maci. I mean it. I know I treated you like crap but it won't happen again."
Maci wanted so hard to give in. She wanted to go back to how they were when they first got together. "I can't Josh. You hurt me so much."
"I've changed baby! I swear I have." His voice was soft and she knew he was sorry. "I miss wrapping my arms around you and kissing you. I love you with all my heart!" He exclaimed.
Maci took a deep breath as the tears started falling from her face. "Josh, I just can't."
"Maci, please?" His voice cracked. "What do you want me to do to prove to you that I've changed?"
"Can I talk to you later?" Maci didn't want to ruin the night by crying or thinking about Josh. "I'm at dinner with Jhen."
"Take as much time as you need to babe. I'll be here waiting."
"I'll call you when we get back to the hotel; I'm not sure how late it will be though. Later Josh." She pulled the phone away from her ear to end the call when she heard three little words she hadn't heard in forever, "I love you."
Her heart started racing and she leaned up against the side of the building, letting the tears freely fall down her face. She was so confused on what to do. She didn't think she'd ever give him a chance again but he really did seem like he cared unlike every other time he messed up.
"Are you okay?" She heard somebody ask. She looked up to see the one and only Cody Runnels, Cody Rhodes as he was known to the wrestling world.
"I'm fine." Maci let out. She didn't even know what to do she was supposed to do with Cody around. She had never met anybody this famous before. "I'd be wasting your time even telling you."
Cody gave her a confused look. "What do you mean? You certainly don't look like a waste of my time."
"Is that some lame pick up line you use on every girl?" She shot back.
"Look, I'm sorry for asking for what's wrong. I just hate seeing girls cry. I know you don't want to tell a complete stranger your whole life story but you know what I've learned?" She looked up at him, waiting for him to continue, "Telling strangers is a whole lot better than people who know both people because they're not obligated to take sides." He started walking off.
"Wait…." She let out. "I'm sorry for earlier."
"It's fine. I gotta get going. Maybe I'll see you around?"
"Yeah, maybe."

"Oh my gosh Maci, you talked to Cody Rhodes and didn't even get his number?" Jhen asked as they got back to their hotel rooms that night.
"Not like he knew what I was gonna do with it. I talked to him for like five minutes tops." Maci slumped down on the couch. "I feel like the biggest bitch ever."
"You didn't know." Chase said as he looked over at her. "Don't even worry about it. Maybe you can make it up at axxess?"
"Let's go get his WrestleMania magazine cover!" Jhen exclaimed, "Come on, I'm sure we can find it at Wal-Mart right away."
Cody's hotel room
"What is your problem bro?" Dustin asked looking up at Cody who was currently walking around the whole hotel suite. "You're gonna ruin the carpet with all of your walking. Sit down."
"I can't get her off of my mind." Cody let out before falling down one of the beds, watching the ceiling fan run. "She was just perfect!"
"Who?" Dustin exclaimed. "Spill it."
"She was at the signing. I mean she didn't show up to meet me, I don't think, anyway I went outside to have a smoke and she was outside crying." He sat up, running his hands through his black hair before looking over at his half brother, "I asked her if she was okay and she mention something about being a waste of my time. I don't know what that even meant!"
"Did you even catch her name?"
"I wish. I can't even describe it Dustin, it's just I like her and I don't even know her name or anything about her!"
"Welcome to the life of being on the road where you meet dozens of people each night and never know their name." Cody got up, grabbing his cigarettes and cell phone before heading out of the hotel room. His brother rolled his eyes, he wish Cody would stop going from girl to girl.

"I can't believe we found it at the first Wal-Mart we went too. "Maci had the biggest smile on her face as they stepped out of the car, grabbing her bag from McDonalds. "I really hope this works because if not I'm going to be known as the fan who cussed Cody Rhodes out." The comment made Jhen and Chase chuckle.
"You worry too much." Jhen said as she put her arm around her best friend. "Don't worry Mac, seriously." She jumped when she felt Maci's phone vibrate from Maci's purse. "Who is it?" Jhen asked once Maci grabbed her phone.
"Josh." Maci said, "I gotta answer. Wait for me in the lobby, please?" Jhen nodded as she grabbed Chase's hand and headed to the inside of the hotel.
"Yes Josh?"
"What the fuck took you forever Maci?" He screamed into the phone.
"I told you I was with Jhen and it might be late. If this is how it's going to be before I even think about attempting to be friends, you can fuck off."
"Wait! I'm just upset Maci. I feel like the biggest asshole ever."
"You should! You're the worst boyfriend ever. Wish I woulda never gotten with you. Just leave me alone Josh. I'm not wasting my time anymore. Not my fault you keep fucking up." She quickly pressed the end button and threw her phone in her purse. She was so mad. How dare he even raise his voice when he's the one that messed up?
"Guess I shouldn't ask if everything's okay this time right?" She heard him ask, her heart started racing again before she had even saw him.
Seriously, I feel bad it took forever to get up. My niece was born mid-may and I've been busy with that. Should have the next chapter up soon. Please R&R! Again, thanks for all of your positive feedback on the first chapter.
