Sunday 19th May
''You trying to break my arm! I'm going to break your face!''
Alexa snorted as she watched Roman continue to stomp away at Daniel in the corner until he was yanked away by Kane. She had the night off and was lounging on the couch in her hotel room, watching Extreme Rules as she nursed a bottle of wine.
Jon had beaten Kofi to win the United States Championship earlier in the show, and despite them not being together, she was upset that she hadn't been there to witness him winning his first WWE title. It was the same with Joe and Colby; she knew they were about to win the Tag Team Championships and she was missing it. She had been there since their debut and it just felt wrong that she wasn't there to share this with them.
Alexa waited for about twenty minutes after their match to dial Colby's number, the man picking up after the fourth ring.
''Hello?''
''Hey!'' She grinned at his exuberant tone. ''Congratulations, you guys were awesome!''
''I know, right!''
''Nice to know your modesty is still in tact.''
''I'm surprised your even watching the show, you know, now you're a mega movie star.''
''I was actually going to fly out there but they changed my call times and I'm filming tomorrow, so...''
''That sucks, would've been nice to have you here... how is filming going?''
''Yeah, really well actually. I don't completely suck, so that's a bonus. But it's awesome, I didn't realize how much fun it would be.''
''That's great, Lex. I hope you're not planning on abandoning us for Hollywood like The Rock.''
''Never.'' Alexa promised, taking a sip of her wine. ''Wrestling will always be my number one, you're not getting rid of me that easily.''
''Glad to hear it. What's it like working with Seth?''
''Amazing. He's so cool... oh my God, we had to do a sex scene yesterday, it was so awkward-''
''You have a sex scene?''
''I've got a few of them, we play a married couple, remember?'' She rolled her eyes. ''I knew you weren't paying attention when I told you about the movie!''
''I was, I must have just missed that bit... dude, I don't know if I'll be able to watch this if I'm going to have to see you doing... that...''
''You don't actually see anything, besides, they're comedic sex scenes... it's funny, you'll love it, I promise.''
''Hmmm.''
''So... how's Jon?''
''Honestly? I'm not really sure, he's been pretty quiet... he misses you.''
A pang of sadness hit her and she inwardly cussed herself for asking; what with everything she had been doing with the movie, she'd barely had time to even think about Jon, let alone get upset over it. It was usually when she went to bed and her mind started to wander, that it hit her again.
''Yeah, well... this was his choice, not mine.''
Jon finished pulling the tap from his hand and scrunched it up into a ball, his eyes moving over to the man in the corner as he spoke into his phone. As soon as he realized who was on the other end of the call, a deep scowl appeared on his face and he angrily tossed the ball of tape in the direction of the bin.
You don't realize how much you truly miss someone until something happens, good or bad, and the only person you want to talk to is the one person who wasn't there.
He really thought he had made the right decision by ending things with Alexa, but almost as soon as the words had left his lips he knew it was the wrong thing to do. She was an amazing person and he loved her more than anything, but he truly believed that she deserved better than him. In trying to do the right thing, he had ended up hurting her and making himself miserable.
''You alright, man?''
''Yeah.'' He replied, ignoring his friends concerned gaze. ''I'm fine.''
Joe's mouth set in a firm line as he watched the man beside him; his attention was focused solely on the one-sided conversation coming from the other side of the room. Ever since the break-up, Jon had been extremely quiet and from his tired appearance, it was obvious he wasn't coping well with Alexa's absence. She had been a huge part of his life for over two years and it was clear to see that he was absolutely smitten with her, just as she was with him. He just didn't understand why Jon had needlessly thrown it all away.
Joe tentatively broke the silence. ''You're not fine.''
''I...'' Looking over at his friend, Jon fought back tears. ''I've really fucked up, man.''
Monday 20th May
''Oh my God! Have you seen this?''
''What?''
''Listen. 'One of our top stories today is that WWE Diva Sierra, has reportedly found a new love interest in the form of actor Zac Efron. The wrestling queen, whose last known high-profile relationship was with Randy Orton, is working with the High School Musical star as they film a new movie in Los Angeles, alongside Seth Rogen'.''
''Lucky bitch! I wouldn't mind a piece of Zac Efron!'' Arpil cried, leaning over to get a good look at the photos on the cover.
Celeste smirked deviously. ''You know, we should totally show Jon this.''
''Show Jon what?'' Colby asked, pausing behind her with a tray of food.
April snatching the magazine from her friend's hands and held it up, showing him the picture of Alexa and Zac making their way down some street in their gym clothes.
''Oh, yeah, they've just been hitting up the gym together while she's in LA.'' The man shrugged. ''She didn't want to go alone.''
''Jon doesn't know that.'' Celeste pointed out with a sly grin. ''Maybe if he sees this it'll finally spur him into action.''
''No.'' Colby shook his head. ''That's probably a bad idea.''
''What's a bad idea?''
The three turned to find Jon, the man suddenly appearing beside Colby and stealing a fry from his tray. Before April could lower the magazine and hide it from his view, his eyes zeroed in on the image of Alexa on the cover. Before he could stop himself, he reached over and grabbed the magazine from her, a bundle of emotions immediately flooding him; jealousy being the most prominent one. Flipping through the pages, he carefully scrutinized the other pictures inside the magazine as Colby, April and Celeste watched him warily.
''Jon...''
Sighing heavily, the man threw the magazine haphazardly on top of the table before slumping into the seat beside April, running his hand over his face. ''What am I going to do?''
Colby slid the tray onto the table before grabbing a seat. ''You wait until she comes back, apologize for being a massive dick and beg her to take you back.''
''Or...'' April started with a grin. ''You find out where she's staying and fly out to surprise her.''
''Big romantic gestures never fail.'' Celeste nodded eagerly.
''Exactly. I'm sure Chris knows where she is, all you've got to do is ask.''
Jon thought about it for a moment before glancing over at the man opposite him. ''What do you think?''
''I think you've got a lot of grovelling to do.''
A/N - Thanks again to all my reivews, really appreciate each and every one.
Also, if anyone's interested, I've done some manips of Alexa with some of the people involved in the story. You can check them out at my Tumblr - Re-LivingTheDream
