I do not own any wrestlers or anything to do with the WWE. I only own the O/C.

Chapter 16

John walked into the arena with a bouquet of flowers, wrapped and ready to give to Crystal. He was going to try and sway her towards him. He loved her and wanted to be with her. Crystal was the love of John's life, and he intended on being with her forever.

"Hey John!" Eve said as she ran into John coming into the building. "Who are the flowers for?"

"Believe it or not they are for Crystal," John said matter of factly.

"Really?" Eve questioned.

"Yeah," John said, "Why Eve? What do you know that I don't?"

"Oh nothing, I just thought you guys where over, you know word around the locker room."

"Oh, well we are having a rough patch, well get through it." John said.

The ride to the next town had been quiet, the ride to the hotel had been quiet, and the ride to the arena had been the quietest. The most they spoke was when there were deciding whether they should get single rooms or share one, Crystal opting that they should share one, Punk on the other hand felt being apart and separate would be best for them. In the end they decided on separate rooms.

"Hey tonight after the show can you catch a ride back to the hotel with Eve or someone?" Punk said breaking the silence.

"Um, yah sure, I can find someone or take a cab whatever, it will work out." Crystal said, she was sure Punk was mad at her. Hell she would be mad at her, she had just been leading him on and now, as they pulled into the arena she realized that Punk had moved on and was not interesting in her.

"Good," Punk said turning the car off, this whole car ride had been hell. When he heard Crystal say they should share a room he felt himself stiffen a little. He was beyond excited, but he had to remind himself that he was going to move on and not play any of these games anymore.

"So what are you doing tonight?" Crystal asked as they got their bags out of the trunk of the car. She really didn't want to hear the answer already assuming it was another girl.

"Um, I have a sort of Date, with Beth," Punk said not making any eye contact as he grabbed the last of his bags from the trunk of the car and closed the trunk and headed into the arena.

Crystal just stood there and watched Punk walk into the arena, every step he took she could feel her heart break again. Crystal looked down at her bag holding back her tears, "I am such a fool."

John was sitting on some boxes watching superstar after superstar arrive at the arena. He had his flowers beside him and a speech in his head. He watched as Punk walked into the arena looking tired and defeated. He waited a few minutes and a very exhausted Crystal walked in. She looked tired and sick. John contemplated on whether right now was the right time to give her the flowers and ask her out. This might cheer her up he thought to himself.

"Hello," John said as he ran up to Crystal. Crystal looked up from the ground and smiled at John, she looked sick, she had no glow, no shine, she just looked like she was about to give up.

"Hey John," Crystal replied

"For you," John said as he handed Crystal the bouquet of flowers. Crystal graciously took them and smiled at John, it was a small jester but a nice enough one to make the last few minutes feel a little less hurtful.

"Thank you John, this is really nice of you."

"Anything to see you smile," John replied as he took Crystal hand into his. "Listen I know this is pushing it and I know I should give you your space but Crystal I care about you and only you." John paused and took a deep breathe. "I want to know if after the show I could take you out for dinner?"

Crystal smiled; it was nice to know that someone was still interest even though that someone was John. Still it was a nice feeling to feel wanted. "Sure, I would love to John."

"Really!" John said surprised. "Great I will pick you up after my match?"

"Sounds good," Crystal said as John turned to get ready for his match that evening.

"JOHN!" Crystal yelled at him. John turned around and smiled at Crystal, she looked tired but beautiful could this girl have an off day, he thought to himself. "Good luck out there tonight." Crystal said John nodded his head and ran off.

Punk stormed into his locker room, he knew what he had done and he thought he would have felt better doing it, but instead he felt like crap. He couldn't convince himself that he didn't like Crystal as much as he tired it was not going to happen.

The locker room door opened up and in walked Crystal; she placed her bag on the floor and turned to Punk. "Do you need me to go out there with you tonight?"

Punk looked at Crystal she was beautiful, granted she looked tired but she was amazing. "Um yah that would be great if you would," Punk replied after staring at Crystal for a few seconds.

"Okay, I am going to go talk to Eve and see if she has a newer dress she can lend me, I'll be back." Crystal informed Punk as she walked out of the locker room the two of them were sharing.

Punk only nodded at her waiting for the door to close when he put his head in his hands realizing that accepting the invitation to go out for dinner with Beth was a major mistake. He took out his phone and called Beth.

"Hey Beth, about tonight….."
