John walked up to Mike's house and knocked on the door. He wondered what was going on. He knocked on the door and waited for him to answer.
"John, what are you doing here?" He asked when he did.
"I was at Kate's when Avery called and wanted to come over. So I figured I would come over here and see what's up?"
"Avery found out a secret I'd been hiding from her. From everyone."
John looked at him. "Can I know this secret? I assume it's big if you're keeping it from everyone."
"I tried to stop her. I tried to reason with her. But she wouldn't listen to me. I told her I couldn't go through with it. That I wouldn't go through with it. Falling in love with Avery wasn't part of the plan. But it happened and I love her and now I may lose her."
"You knew what AJ was going to do?"
"Yes I did." Mike looked at John. "AJ was my cousin and she asked me to help her. She was going to kill everyone and then wanted me to kill Avery."
John stood there. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. Mike had known what AJ was going to do. He almost lost Kate because her. "Are you fucking serious?"
"Yes. I tried to get her to stop." He said looking at John. "I really tried."
"Did you? After that first murder, you could have told someone and they could have stopped her before more people died. I almost lost Kate. You made me leave her on that bus. AJ could have killed her because you told me leave her."
"I'm sorry John. I really am."
"No wonder Avery is upset." He replied. "I just can't believe you. Why didn't you tell someone what she was planning? You could have stopped everything. And all those people would be alive."
"You think every scenario hasn't gone through my head? That I haven't beat myself up for not being able to stop her or talk her out of it? But I saved you and Kate John. And I saved Avery. I couldn't let her kill you guys. You're the only real friend I've ever had and I'm in love with her. And if she decides to walk away from me, if you decide to end out friendship, I get it. And I deserve it. I've told the cops about everything. We'll let them decide from there."
John sighed. "I'm not ending our friendship. I just wish you could have did something. You know Avery is telling Kate. And Kate might tell her dad."
"I know but the police are handling things. They know everything I knew. And I'm probably going to get a deal. I just need to know if Avery still loves me."
"I'm sure she does. She's probably in shock like the rest of us."
"Yeah." He sighed. "I hated what happened and as bad as I feel saying this. I'm glad my cousin is dead and can't hurt anyone."
"She did enough before they killed her."
"Yes she did." Mike replied. He looked at John. "I'm sorry about all the people who she killed and I'm sorry that I didn't do more. But I'm going to try to make it up to everyone. I just hope Avery still loves me."
"She does or this wouldn't have hurt her so bad." He nodded. He really hoped so.
The next morning, Kate and Avery were up early. "So, have you decide what you're going to do about Mike?"
"I need to talk to him."
"Yeah you do. So why don't you do that after you shower? I know I have clothes that will fit you." Avery nodded and took the clothes and headed to the shower.
Mike sat at his house having breakfast. He wanted to call Avery but he didn't know if he should. Time was probably the best thing at the moment. He went to answer the door and was surprised to see Avery standing there.
"Avery, I'm shocked to see you." He said when he opened the door.
"I did some thinking last night and we need to talk." She said walking in.
"Alright." He shut the door and they walked to the living room. "So, what have you decided?"
She turned to look at him. "I don't understand why you didn't say something before but you did save my life. And I can't help the fact that I have feelings for you. That I love you. But if you ever lie to me again, that's it. It's over."
He walked over to her and kissed her. "I promise to never lie to you again. I will always be honest with you."
"Good. Are we alone?"
"Yeah." She kissed him again and he picked her up and carried her to his room. They were soon locked away making love.
John arrived at Kate's house. They had plans to spend the day together. He knocked on the door and waited for someone to open it.
"Mr. Cena, Kate is almost ready." The housekeeper said to him.
"Thanks." He said walking in. He looked around for the mayor or guards.
"The mayor is at his office dealing with things. Kate's new guards are waiting outside." The housekeeper said as she walked away.
"Relax, daddy gave the guards strict instructions to not crowd me." Kate said walking in the room.
"How many guards did he hire?"
"Well, he changed from one or two big guys. To three guys." She said as she grabbed her stuff. "So, let's head out."
He nodded and grabbed her hand and they walked out. "Ms. Lawler, your father has requested we drive you where you want to go." Dean Ambrose said to her.
"Well I was hoping to ride in my boyfriend's car."
"His car has been inspected and is free of bombs or anything." Seth Rollins said to Dean.
"Alright. Then you can go and we will follow in the car behind you."
"Okay." She said taking John's hand. "Let's go."
They got into John's car and were soon on their way to the movies. She hoped the security team would stay out in the lobby or at least sit far away from her and John.
"Your dad is a little overprotective."
"I know right." She laughed as they drove. "After everything at camp, he just went overboard. I mean do I need three guards? But I know there is no point in arguing with him about it. He will just do it anyway."
"That's because he loves you. Just like I do."
"I love you too." She smiled and kissed him. "How about we skip the movie and go parking somewhere? I want some time alone with you."
"What about your guards?"
"Well they can park further away or they can park beside us and watch while I let you take advantage of me."
He laughed and turned on the road that lead to a empty parking lot by a lake. It was used as make out spot at night and people were rarely there during the day.
"Well it looks like we're alone." He smiled as he parked. He looked behind to see her security team park their car a little further away. "Well I guess they got the hint."
"Good. Now am I taking advantage of you or are you taking advantage of me?" She smiled.
"Whichever way you want it." She smiled and moved over to kiss him.
"I think I will take advantage of you." They were soon in the backseat lost in each other.
The security team sat further away not watching what was going on. "How did we get hired to baby-sit a teenager?" Seth said as they sat there after checking in with the mayor and the others.
"Because we're working for the mayor and he wants us to guard his daughter." Dean replied and looked toward the car. They had taken the jobs because they were the best security team in the city and working for the mayor was the right step in their career even if they were guarding his teenage daughter. "We just have to be patient about this and remember she just escaped a killer. So, let's cut her a little slack." The others agreed.
Jerry smiled as he hung up with the team. Kate was safe and that was all he was worried about. He and his office were cleaning up the aftermath of things. And he hoped it could all be behind them.
