I've been having this idea for a while and wanted to do at least a one shot about it and finally got motivation at 4 am to write it.

"Oh hey Maya." Roman said when he bumped into her outside a coffee shop.

"Roman. Hi. How are you?"

"I'm okay, you?"

"I've been good."

Roman and Maya just stood there awkwardly in an uncomfortable silence. If you told them 6 months ago this is how they would be, they wouldn't have believed you. 6 months ago Roman and Maya were living together, planning their future together. She quit her job and moved to Pensacola to be closer to him, and to see him more since WWE did so many shows there. She sacrificed her life, the one she knew with her family, her friends, a steady paycheck to be with him and make it easier on him. She went through being trashed by his fans, cheating rumors, losing touch with people who meant so much to her for him. And here they are 6 months later unable to hold a conversation.

"Sooo..." Roman said while looking around.

"I hear your engaged." Maya said, hoping it wasn't true.

"Oh uh yeah..to Jessie." Roman said rubbing the back of his neck.

"Jessie? The girl you told me not to worry about? Nice." Maya scoffed and started to walk away.

"Maya wait! I didn't plan for it. While you and I were together, she was nothing to worry about."

"She just turned into fiancee less than a year after we broke up?"

"She was there for me. She helped me move on."

"Which you clearly did easily."

"What do you want me to say Maya? I'm sorry?"

"No. I don't want you to say anything you don't mean."

"I do mean it. I'm sorry."

"For what? Being engaged to her? After only 6 months? Or are you sorry that I tried like hell to save our relationship and you didnt?"

"I did try! We couldn't even hold a conversation anymore. It was over and you know that, in your heart, you know it."

"It was over because you gave up. I always fought for you and you never could for me. When distance got too much I quit and moved to you. I left everything I knew behind for you. I didn't know if I would find a job, I lost some of my best friends for you but as soon as we start growing apart, instead of fixing it you ended it."

"I made sacrifices too." Roman said.

"Yeah you did for your dream, not me."

"I wasn't going to give up my dream. You couldn't ask me to."

"Did I ever?! No. I asked you to give a damn and work on us and you didn't. I thought you and I were going to marry and now youre going to vow your life to someone else."

"I'm sorry! Okay, I'm sorry! How many times would you like for me to say it. I'm sorry it didn't work out. You think I ever thought you would move here and we'd break up? You think I ever thought I'd be engaged to someone else? No. But life is unpredictable like that. You roll with it."

"No you fight for what you want. Stop putting this all on life because you didn't care enough to fight."

"I was fighting for my dream! Becoming the top guy, becoming champion."

"Okay Roman." Maya sighed walking away. This is why she never wanted to see him. She knew from the moment they broke up it would always be a fight and she hated it.

"Stop walking away! Let's just talk about it." Roman grabbed her arm.

"There's nothing to talk about! We broke up, you moved on. Congrats!"

"I don't want you hating me." Roman said looking down.

"I could never hate you. You were the love of my life Roman. You were who I wanted to spend my life with. That's gone and I can't hate you, but I can't talk to you or be in your life anymore."

"I wish i could fix it okay? If there was a time machine I'd go back and fix it but there isn't and I can't let you just walk away and not be in my life anymore."

"You dont get to decide that."

"Why not!? Im in this too!"

"Because you got your dream."

"What?" Roman asked looking at Maya confused.

"You were my dream, but not all of us get to have our dreams come true like you did. So let me deal with having my dream broken my way." Maya said with tears in her eyes. "You sacrificed everything and got your dream, I sacrificed everything and got nothing. You don't get to decide how I deal with that. Congrats on having your dream come true, truly you deserve it. Congrats on your engagment, I'm happy you found happiness even though it kills me." Maya turned to walk away.

"I wish it was you." Roman said quietly.

Maya opened her mouth to say something but shut it and kept walking. Nothing she could say would change anything. He got his dream, his perfect life and she was left having to pick up the pieces of her broken self. Walking away from Roman killed her, but not as much as staying woudl have.
