A month had passed. John was at the arena sitting on a crate in an abandoned hallway. AJ Lee went up to him.
"Hi John." She said.
"Hi AJ."
"Are you alright?"
"Not really."
"Wanna talk about it?"
"It's just everything." "Losing my girls and breaking up with Brie." "It's just really getting to me."
"I can't imagine what it's like to lose a child." "Let alone two."
"On top of all that we couldn't even keep our relationship together."
"That's not either one of your faults." "You're both hurting."
"She said she wasn't happy." "I wasn't either so what was the point of staying together."
"Maybe after some healing you'll get back together." "Listen if you ever need to talk I'm here."
"Thank you." "I appreciate it."
Brie was in her new home. She moved back to California. She was still hurting over losing the girls and she missed John. Every time she looked at her fireplace in the living room she thought of him. It reminded her of the night they'd made love in front of his fireplace. Her cell phone started to ring.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hi." Daniel said. "How are you doing?"
"Not to good."
"I'm sorry to hear that."
"It just still hurts so much." "Everything."
"I know."
"How have you been?"
"Good." "I'm worried about you though." "I still care about you."
"I know." "I'll be ok, eventually."
"I hope so." "Just take all the time you need." "If you ever wanna talk I'm just a phone call away."
"I know thank you."
"I have to go." "Do you care if I call you later?"
"No."
"Ok bye."
"Bye."
