John's POV
I was sitting on our bed waiting for Maria to emerge from the bathroom. Damn! She takes too much time preparing. We were heading to the airport together then from there we'll part ways. She goes back to Smackdown and me to Raw. Gawd I'll miss her. My cellphone beeped. I snatched it from the bed and saw that it was from an anonymous number. I opened the message.
Better watch your girl
That was all it said but there was a file attached. I opened the file and could hardly believe what I was seeing. I gripped the phone harder. I do not know how to react. I knew something was going on. I could not think clearly. My body went numb.
It was a picture of Maria and Wade making out.
No One's POV
Maria put the last touch of her make-up and decided that she was ready to go. She looked at herself one more time in the mirror.
She stepped out of the bathroom and found John sitting on the bed. His body was all tensed. She wondered if something was bothering him. She started walking towards him but before she could get any closer, he held his phone out to her. Enough for her to see what was on the screen. She gasped. She took the phone from his hands. He moved his head to one side avoiding her eyes.
"Where did you get this?" she croaked.
"Does it matter?" he asked as he asked lifting his head to meet her gaze. For a moment they just stared into each other's eyes. Maria could see the hurt painting his blue eyes. She did not want this to end this way. She thought it was better to not mention any of it to John but she should have known better. Her heart was clenched. Tears began forming in her eyes.
"John, I'm sorry. I can explain. I swear, I….." she said between sobs.
"Save it, Maria. I'm not sure if I could even understand it." He snapped. His voice was not calm but he was not shouting. She looked down, tears freely rolling down her cheeks. She covered her face with her hands. She was so ashamed and embarrassed.
He looked at her feeling guilty for making her cry but how should he react? It was not easy for her but it wasn't easy for him either. He felt hurt. Very. He loved her so much. Even after what she'd done. It seems that he cannot let her go. He was on the verge of tears too but he is trying as hard as he can not to shed any tear. He rubbed his face with one hand.
"Why Maria? I thought I was good enough for you." he asked her as a tear silently rolled down his cheek.
"You were more than good John. You were perfect." She said as she kneeled in front of him taking his face in her hands forcing him to look into her eyes so that he'll know how sincere she was.
"I thought you love me." He said quietly. It was more like a whisper.
"I do, John and I always will. I was wasted when that happened. I'm sorry. I never meant for that to happen." She said and tried to force a smile.
John looked at the woman before him. He loves the girl more than anything. He was willing to give up anything just for her. He knew that she meant everything she was saying but he wanted her to be sure with her decisions. He wiped her tears.
"Do you have any feelings for him?" he asked surprising her. She avoided his eyes and looked down.
"I-I…." she does not know what to say. She couldn't tell him no cause that would be a big fat lie.
John was waiting for an answer but when he saw her reaction change when he asked her, he knew the answer clearly. He just needed Maria to say it. More tears fell from her eyes.
"I don't know, John." She blurted before he could say anything. Then she threw her hands on her face covering it and she cried harder. He pulled her off the floor and onto his lap. He cradled her for a few moments. She nuzzled his neck. Her hand went around his neck.
For a moment, John looked down at her. She looked so delicate. He could feel her breath against his neck. He kissed the top of her head and began stroking it. Then she kissed her head again. She pulled away and pushed herself off of his lap. She sat beside him wiping tears form her eyes. She lifted her head and looked at him and then down on the floor.
"John, I don't know what to do." She whispered. John took her hands and began rubbing circles around them. He kissed them. He only knew one way how to solve this. Even though it hurts but he has to do it
"Just go and see for yourself." He told her as she lifted her head abruptly.
"Are you saying it's over?" she was starting to crying again. He pushed some strands of hair away from her face.
"I want you to be sure of your feelings. This doesn't mean that I don't love you. Hell, God knows that I do more than anything. When you're sure about it then we will sort this out." He kissed her hard but quick then he stood up and walked out the door.
"I don't wanna lose you." Maria whispered and she cried her heart out.
