Thank you to everyone who has reviewed, followed, and favorite my story. You guys are awesome :)

My mind was working on overdrive. Michelle's boyfriend, the co-owner of the restaurant, was David. My abusive, controlling exboyfriend David. I looked over to Sara who had the same look of shock on her face as I'm sure was on mine. She rushed over to me, standing infront of me and blocking my view of David.

"Lex, I swear, I had no idea her boyfriend was David."

"I know if you did you would have told me."

Sara moved to me side and my eyes were once again looking into Davids. Michelle had let go of David and was now looking at him and I with a questionable expression.

"What's going on here?" Asked Michelle.

"Alexis and I were together before I met you. We were together for almost a year, until she just got up and left without telling me anything. I had to hear from Ricky that she decided she was done with me," he said. The whole time never taking his eyes away from mine.

"I wonder why," said Sara. She grabbed my hand and pulled me with her ignoring David and a now stunned Michelle. As we walked away, she stopped and turned to Michelle.

"Thanks for the dinner Michelle but I don't think it's suck a good idea for our girls nigh out now that we've found out who everyone is. I'll see you at work."

We both walked back to the apartment, neither one of us saying anything until we got upstairs. "Are you ok?" Asked Sara as she took off her heel.

I did the same before walking into her kitchen and opening the cabinet that we used to keep the alcohol at, praying that she had some.

"Hello Jack," I said as I took out the unopened bottle of Jack Daniels Tennessee Whiskey. I got out a shot glass then looked over to Sara. "Would you like to join in on my soon to be pity party?" I asked her.

"Are you mad at me?" She asked, walking over to me and grabbing her own shot glass.

"No. The only reason I would be mad at you is if you knew that David was her boyfriend and you already told me you didn't so no, I have no reason to be mad at you."

"Then pour it up," she said while holding her shot glass out to me.

Five shots later and I was pretty out of it. Sara was already passed out on the couch, she has always been a light weight. I poured myself another shot of Jack, this time looking at it sitting on the livingroom coffee table, thinking about the first time I had a shot of Tennessee Whiskey. It was in Germany, where we had built up a storyline with the then Jon Moxley. I had just wrestled Jon and it went surprisingly well. In the back, all the guys were drinking and hanging out. I had already changed and packed up my bag and as I made my way out through the back, I felt a hand grab my arm. When I looked up I was looking into the blue eyes of Jon. He was holding up a shot of Jack infront of me. As I took it from him, he poured himself one.

"Cheers to us sweetheart."

I picked up the shot and downed it, my tongue and mouth now felt numb which meant it was probably time to call it a night. I was drunk but still had enough sense to get Sara a pillow and blanket from her room. Once I made sure she was comfortable, I went into my room where I sat on my bed and cried. I couldn't help but think about David. All those nights he tore me down with his words and bought me to my knees with his fists. I started thinking if he had turned on Michelle yet. Or if she was still so in love with his charm.

I went to the bathroom where I pulled up my hair and washed my face. I went back into the bedroom and changed clothes. I slipped into bed and closed my eyes, which was a horrible idea because then the room started spinning. I calmed myself down and decided to stay up until I wasn't so drunk.

I got my phone and decided to mess with it alittle bit. As I was checking my call log, I decided to text Jon about the Jack Daniels flashback. I didn't want to just send him any old text so I sent him the picture I took of myself before I left with the girls with the caption 'took some shots of Jack thought of you in Germany' then hit send. I quickly went to take one more shot since I suddenly felt myself extremely nervous. When I came back and checked my phone, he had texted me back saying, 'You're thinking of me wearing that?'

I got alittle worried so I texted back, 'Do I look that bad?'

'NO! You look fucking hott. Just meant I would have liked it better if I was actually there instead of you just thinking about me. But I'll take what I can get.'

'I wish you were here actually.'

'Is that right?'

'Yeah, remember my ex David?'

'What about him?'

'I saw him tonight.'

My phone started ringing, it was Jon.

"Hello?"

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah, I mean I'm kind of drunk but no harm done."

"Tell me what happened."

I then explained the whole thing to him. From meeting Sara's new friends to finding out David was Michelle's boyfriend to coming back to the apartment and getting drunk with Sara.

"I don't want to talk about him anymore. Talk to me."

"How many shots have you had?"

"Like six."

"So looking good and feeling good."

"Well, I'm not wearing that anymore."

"What are you wearing now then?"

"Nothing."

"How come you always wear sweats and shirt to bed with me then? I'm offended."

"O yeah, sleeping naked in a hotel room that I share with a teammate of mine that happens to be a guy. That sounds like an awesome idea."

"I know right? I'm full of them."

"You're definitely full of something."

"That hurt, I'm hurt Lex."

"I'm sure you are." I then heard some voices in the background that weren't there before. "Are with people? Are you out?" I didn't even realize that maybe he was out with friends, or a girl. Before I could give myself a panic attack in the drunken state that I was in, Jon spoke up.

"Calm down Lex. No I'm not out, I had just gotten back from a certain gentlemen's club when you texted me. Some of my boys just got back from picking up some food."

"O, ok. So you're still into the strip clubs?"

"Yes mam. Not as much as I used to be considering we're always on the road, but I do enjoy them here and there. Have you ever been to one?"

"Just the one Sara used to work for."

"And? Did you like it?"

"Yeah I did. I never got a dance from her though, I thought that would be too weird. There was this other girl there that I swear I think I fell in love with."

Jon laughed. "I'm guessing you spent a few bucks on her then."

"A few. She went by Diamond."

"We should go to a club together."

"Like me and you or like me and you and friends."

"I'll leave that up to you."

"Jon, do you like me? I know you always joke around and say your little sexual innuendos, but you're tough to read. Is it just the kind of the thing where you wanna see if I'm a good fuck or do you actually like me?"

Jon laughed again. "Your liquid courage is in full effect darling."

"That doesn't answer my question Good."

"O, using the last name, you mean business."

"Jon!"

"Alexis!" I heard someone in the background ask Jon who was Alexis. "She's none of your business bro."

There was silence for a few moments. I asked the question but it seemed that Jon was evading it. I was growing impatient and tired. "Look, I'm gonna let you go. Have fun with all your bros."

"Is that anger I hear in your voice sweetheart?"

"I'm not in the mood for you anymore Jon, you're starting to bring down my buzz.'

"Lex, hold on for a second ok?"

"Why?"

"Just hold on."

"Why?"

"Fucking shit, cause I'm gonna go into my bedroom for some damn privacy. That's why."

"O, ok then."

"Well I'm already in my bedroom so no reason for you to hold on now."

"Ok, then what were you going to say?"

"Ask me when you're sober."

"What do you mean?"

"You asked if I liked you or if I wanted to see if you were just good for a fuck. Ask me when you're dead sober and I'll give you my answer."

The next morning I woke up feeling alittle hung-over. Not enough to keep me away from the gym, but enough to make me want to take a shower and wash away the nausea I was feeling. As I showered, I kept thinking about the conversation I had with Jon. It was a lot more direct and straight forward then I would have approached it had I been sober, but nothing was said that was humiliating. When I got out of the shower I dried myself off and changed into a pair of workout pants with my sports bra and a Flyers sweatshirt over that. I pulled on my black Puma gym shoes, straightened my hair and opted for no makeup. It was Sunday, my last day here before I flew out the following morning for RAW.

When I opened my door, I could see Sara sitting on the couch drinking a cup of coffee. She still had on her dress from lastnight along with lastnight's makeup. WHen she heard the door creak, she looked up and gave me a small smile. "Morning."

"Good morning," I said before going into the kitchen and getting a cup for myself. I then walked back into the livingroom and joined her on the couch.

"I'm guessing you gave me the pillow and blanket," she says while patting the blanket she had wrapped around herself.

"Yes mam. I would have carried you to your room but I was drunk enough to drop you on your face had I attempted. So, I played it safe."

I finished my coffee and asked Sara if she wanted to come with me to the gym. She said no and decided to shower and stay home instead. I went back into my room to retrieve my phone and wallet. I asked if I could borrow her car which she said I could and head for the gym. It's the same one I used when I lived here and was still working the indies. The name of the gym is Billy's Domain. The reason I liked and favored this gym so much is because It had a wrestling ring in the back along with all the other basic gym equipment that you would find at any other gym. Billy's was always very popular with Indy wrestlers around the Philadelphia area.

I parked Saras car in the back and entered through the back door. As I looked around inside, it was as if time had stood still in there because everything was exactly as how it was before I left a few months back. As I was making my way to the front of the gym to start off with some cardio I heard Billy's big echoing voice. "As I live and breathe, it';s little Miss Superstar."

I slowly turned around and saw Billy with a towel draped over his shoulder, for some reason he always had a towel draped over his shoulder. "Hey Billy, How's everything?" I shook his hand which was extended towards.

"Same old same old, I saw you and those boys you're paired up. You looked really good out there Lexi, exactly where you belong."

"Thanks Billy, I appreciate that."

"So are here for some ring work or just your regular old workout?"

"I'm gonna stick to some cardio and some weight training. I need to bulk up some to keep up with the guys."

"Alright, just holler when you need someone to spot you alright?"

"I will, thanks Billy."

I then headed to the front of the gym where I started my ten minute stretching. I then started on my cardio, then moved to abs and glutes, then to some weight lifts for my kegs, and finally I was ready for some heavy lifting. I went to go find Billy in the back, but before I could get a chance to look around, I spotted David getting out of his car that he just so happened to park right next to Sara's. I could feel my heart beat accelerate, my body started to feel like it was on fire. He knew I loved this gym and figured I would be here, especially since Sara's car is parked in the gyms parking lot. I sure as hell did not want to cause a scene at Billy's so I decided it was now or never.

I walked out the gym and cut David off at the entrance. He just smiled down at me and ran his hands through his hair. "Lex, can I talk to you for a minute?" He asked.

"Did you follow me here?" I said while crossing my arms over my chest.

"Kind of, but only on accident."

"How do you follow someone on accident?"

"I went over to your old apartment because I wanted to talk to you. That's when I saw you get into Sara's car and drive down here. I've been trying to get myself up to get off and talk to you."

"Talk to me about what? There is, absolutely nothing I have to say to you. How can you even think after everything you did to me, after everything you put me through that I would even want to talk to your sorry ass."

David didn't say anything, he just looked down. Finally he brought his head up to look at me. David was very handsome, one of the reasons why I liked him. He had black hair that he slicked back with forest green eyes. He had a nice body and was 6'3'.

"I have to go David, I have to spend time with my bestfriend before I leave. DO me a favor and go fuck yourself," I spat at the ground where he stood before going inside to say bye to Billy.
"Hey Billy, I'm gonna head off, I have a plane to catch tomorrow and still need to wash and get all my shit together."

"Alright Lexi, but come back soon. This place will always be here for you remember that." He said while giving me a hug. I returned it and headed back to the parking lot.

David was still there. As I opened the car door, I felt him place his hand on mine and I quickly jerked it away. When I looked up at him, he looked as if I had slapped him. He took a step back and handed me a piece of paper that was folded. I took it from him, never once breaking away from his stare.

"I'm so sorry Lex. I was nothing but a monster to you when you were nothing but good to me. I was scared that you would realise how much better you can do than me so I decided that I was going to make you stay. And look where that got me, you left without a ingle word and I made you fear me. I'm sorry Alexis, I really am."

Something told me that he was truly sincere, but I couldn't let him suck me in. Not after everything he put me through. "David, I really have to go." Before I stepped into the car, he lightly placed his hand on my arm.

"That's my new cell number, you can throw it away or keep it. I just wanted you to have it."
I stuffed it in the pocket of my hoody, go in the car, slammed the door and took off. There was no way I was going to forgive him just because he apologized once. I deserved so much from him, way more than just a fucking sorry. By the time I arrived at the apartment I had calmed down some. When I went upstairs, Sara was in the kitchen. I decided not to tell her about the little encounter I had with David at the gym.

"Hey, I'm cooking some chicken, you want some?" She asked.

"Yeah, I'm gonna go shower and then do my laundry. Is it ok if I borrow some of your clothes just to be around the house?"

"Yeah go ahead."

Before I showered, I went into Sara's room where I borrowed some sweats and a big tshirt. I went back into my room where I showered and changed. Once I was done with that, I took all of my clothes, including my ring gear, and put them to wash. By the time I came upstairs, the chicken was done and Sara was working on the salad. I got out the plates, forks and cups. She served us and we both sat down at the table to eat.

As we were eating I wanted to bring up her ex and make sure that she was going to ok since we hadn't really discussed it. "How are you dealing with this whole break-up Sara? Has douchebag tried to contact you?"

"I'm dealing with it. To tell you the truth Lex, I just don't want to think about it. He had been a big part of my life and I did love him but I could not imagine giving him a second chance. I've never even touched another guy while I was with him, aside from the dances I would give when I worked at the club."

"Did you ever think about it though? I know you never cheated on him but were you ever tempted?" I asked?

"Ofcourse I have been tempted and do you know what I did whenever I was? I called him, I went home to him. What does he do? He fucks a bitch."

"You are too hot when you're pissed," I tel her jokingly, trying to lighten the mood.

"Don't take advantage of me, I'm in a vulnerable state right now."

We laugh and clean up the kitchen. I go downstairs to put my clothes to dry. WHen I get back up, we hang out on the couch and watch movies the rest of the day. Talking and laughing like we used to. I forgot just how much Sara's friendship means to me. She is like my sister and wouldn't know what to do without her. Just then, and idea popped into my head and I decided to go with it.

"What do you think about us being roommates again?"

"You're thinking about moving back in?"

"No, too much David for my liking. I have an apartment down in Florida but since I'm on the main roster, I can live wherever I want now. WHy don't you and I pick a place and we can both kiss this city goodbye."

"Are you serious?"

"If I wasn't then why would I have even brought it up?"

"I knew you were my bestfriend for a reason," she said getting up and giving me a hug.

That's a wrap on this chapter, please let me know what you think :)
