A/N: Hey fellow readers! I'm back with chapter ten, and I'm seriously just…surprised with the reaction that this story is getting! Miz/Eve aren't very popular at all, (so sad!), but this has more reviews than I ever expected it to, so thank you very much for your support! Here's chapter ten! Enjoy!


Chapter Ten


Eve walked back to Zack's house, she didn't even bother to call him. She was too angry. She walked in, and slammed the door behind her. Zack, who was in the middle of playing WWE 13, jumped at the sound of the door slam. He sighed as he set down the game controller, his own theme music playing in the background as he had just beat Cody Rhodes.

"Eve?" He asked, appearing in front of her. He frowned when he saw the hurt look in her eyes. She looked like she was going to cry again. "Eve," Zack said softly. "What's the matter?"

Eve shook her head, too afraid to open her mouth because of the fact she didn't want to start crying in front of Zack, and look like an idiot even though he had seen her cry quite a few times these past four months.

Zack walked over to Eve, saying nothing as he brought her into his arms and stroked her hair. "Eve," he whispered into her hair. "What happened?"

"He left me to go and hangout with Maryse," she mumbled into his chest.

Zack sighed softly, his heart breaking for Eve. "I doubt he went to go and hangout with her," he said reassuringly. "He probably went to go and put her in her place."

Eve pushed Zack away from her, shaking her head. Her green eyes were filled with a mixture of hurt and anger. "That's not the point, Zack!" She snapped, rising her voice. "The point is that he didn't even spend ten minutes with me after you left! I thought he missed me! I thought he cared about me! I thought he loved me!" She shouted. "But clearly, I was wrong, and apparently my relationship with Mike is just a lie," she spat, crossing her arms over her chest.

Zack flinched slightly at Eve's tone of voice. But it also angered the Long Island native. He had tried so hard to be the best friend he could be to Eve over these past four months, but it never seemed to be enough for her. She always ended up yelling at him, or taking her anger out on him anyway, and he could only take so much of it.

He stood there quietly, raking a hand through his messy blonde hair. "Are you done yelling at me now?" He asked, his voice cool. "Because I didn't deserve that, I was only trying to help you, Eve." He said quietly. "That's all I've ever tried to do, and you just keep hurting me anyways. I have feelings too, Eve. Believe it or not, I'm not heartless." He mumbled.

Eve sighed softly, flinching slightly at Zack's choice of words. Of course she knew Zack wasn't heartless. She knew that he was nothing more than a sweet, caring, loving, goofy guy that any girl would be lucky to have. "Zack," she whispered, her tone softening. "Of course I know you aren't heartless," she said. "You're a wonderful, caring, giving, loving guy that any girl would be lucky to have." She ran a hand through her straightened hair. "I'm sorry for snapping at you," she quietly added. "I didn't mean it, and you're right. You don't deserve it. Mike just…he really hurt me, leaving me like that."

Zack brought Eve into another hug as he stroked her hair again. "I know," he whispered. "I know he did, and I'm here for you. Just like I'm always here for you, I'm always here." He whispered.


Mike sighed as he drove a lot faster than he should've, and he raked a hand through his hair. He didn't want to go and see Maryse today, but he had to. He was sick of the drama between himself, Maryse, and Eve. He just wanted to live his happily ever after, and he wanted that with Eve.

Or, at least he thought he wanted it with Eve. All of his thoughts cleared his mind when saw Maryse. He looked at her, not so sure what to say, and for some reason, all of the rage inside of him had died away.

"Mike!" Maryse exclaimed, throwing her arms around his neck, and hugging him tightly. That's when he saw the ring he had given her when he asked her to marry him a while back. He had totally forgotten about asking Maryse to marry him, until now.

"Hey Maryse," He said quietly. "You and I need to talk. Do you think we could go for a drive?"

Maryse nodded, grabbing her purse. "Sure. Let's go."

Mike climbed back into the driver side of his car, and began to drive. He didn't know where to start with this conversation and he wasn't sure why he was feeling so conflicted all of the sudden. He was in love with Eve, not Maryse.

"Maryse," he sighed heavily as he stopped the car after sometime, and turned it off. "I don't like the fact that you're threating Eve while I'm away," he said, no longer hiding his relationship with her. There was no reason for him to hide it. He knew who he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, and that was Eve.

"I'm not threating her, Mike." She simply stated, undoing her seatbelt as she turned to face him. "I'm telling her the truth, and it's not my fault the truth hurts. But your parents don't want you with her, they want you with me, and in case you forgot, we're engaged." She pointed out, holding up her hand, showing him her ring.

"I know we are Maryse," he mumbled. "But I don't….I'm not in love with you. I'm in love with Eve, and have been since I was seventeen. I don't know what to do, or what to tell you. I want to be with Eve. Just….just let me be with her, Maryse. Please," he bagged.

Maryse stared at him, studying his face. She could see the pain in his eyes, and she could see that he was telling the truth. That he was in fact in love with Eve. But that didn't change how she felt.

She didn't speak for a moment, and then she turned to look at him again and said, "did it ever occur to you that I'm in love with you, Michael? That this wasn't just about our parents putting us together? Or did you just assume that I wasn't capable of loving someone?"

"I never meant it like that, Maryse." Mike mumbled quietly. "And you know I loved you at one point too," he quietly pointed out. "But things change…and people change, and I just…I want to be with Eve." he said. "We can be friends, Maryse. I want us to be friends, and I would like it if you and Eve were friends too."

Maryse stared at him, unsure of what to say. "You want me to be friends with the girl who stole you from me?" She crossed her arms over her chest. "I don't want to be friends with her, I want you, Mike! You were mine first, and I'm going to get you back. You really think I won't go to your parents about this!?" She yelled tears of anger behind her eyes.

Then she moved towards him, and kept moving until she was in his lap. Mike wanted to push her away, but he couldn't bring himself to do it. His hands found her hips, and her forehead was against his own. His breath got caught in his throat "Maryse," he squeaked. "This can't happen…"

She ignored him, her breath on his neck as she softly nibbled on his ear. "What can't happen, Mike? Us? Because we're already together," she whispered, kissing his jawline. "I'm just getting you back." She whispered against his lips, placing a soft kiss upon them.

Mike gasped softly at the touch of Maryse's lips against his skin. He hadn't felt it in forever, and it was starting to become hard to fight it, and before he knew it, for some unknown reason, he was kissing her back.

Maryse smiled against his lips, knowing that she was starting to win him over. She grabbed her phone, making sure to take a photo of the kiss, wanting to remember it…and to send it to Eve as a warning.

After a few moments, Mike finally pulled away, shaking his head. "Maryse," he sighed pleadingly. "This can't happen. I have to go home. I'm only home for the weekend, and I want to spend it with Eve," he said.

"Mike, you are home," she restored in a quiet whisper as she finally moved out of his lap, and sat back down in the passenger seat.

"No, I'm not. I'll be home when I'm with Eve," he said as he started the car, and dropped her back off. "We're done, Maryse. I won't be coming back here again."

Maryse got out of the car, shaking her head. Things weren't over between them, they had just begun again.

She went into her room, sat on her bed, and sent the picture she took just a few minutes ago to Eve. She wasn't done fighting for Mike, not yet.


Eve sat on the couch with Zack, the two playing some WWE 13 when she felt her phone go off in her pocket. She pulled it out of her pocket, hoping that it was a text message from Mike to let her know that he was on his way home from Maryse's. But the phone number that came up on her phone was a number she didn't seem to recognize.

She opened the text anyway, and that's when she stared at the picture of Maryse kissing Mike. She was pretty sure she felt her heartbreak into a million pieces as she stared at the picture.

Maybe she and Mike just weren't meant to be, no matter how badly her broken heart ached for him.
