4 days later

John was slowly waking up. He felt like he as hit by a truck.

He tries to sit up, but couldn't. He couldn't move his legs.

"Mister Cena. You've finally woken up." A doctor name Scott replied.

"Doctor. What happened to my legs? I can't seem to move them."

"I'm sorry to say this John, but you've suffered a severe spinal injury." Scott said. "You're paralyzed from the waist down." "You were in a coma for the past four days."

John couldn't believe what the doctor just said. "But we still haven't determine if it's permanent."

John let out a huge sigh of relief.

"Do you need help sitting up?" Scott asked. "Thanks. But I think I got it." John answered.

He struggled a bit, but was able to get himself in a sitting position.

"By the way you have a visitor. Her name is Nicole Garcia Colace."

John was surprised. He was having mixed feelings. He hadn't spoken to her since they talked over a week ago. When she confronted him with the article of Lexi kissing him.

But he knows they need to talk about it.

"I would like to see her."

"Okay. I'll go get her for you." Scott says.

After about a minute Nicole arrives.

"Hey Nicole." he says.

Nicole walked on over to him and gave him a gentle hug and gave him a kiss.

She smiled. ''I'm really glad you're finally awake." she says.

"Me too babe." John said.

He can then see tears in her eyes. "You have no idea how I must have felt when I heard what happen to you." she says.

"Yeah. I can't imagine."

John let's out a sigh. "Look. About that article-" Nicole stopped him.

"No John. You don't need to explain. Lexi told me everything that had happened."

"Is Lexi okay?" John suddenly asked, feeling worried.

"Yeah. She's okay." she replied.

The hint in Nicole's voice made John a bit suspicious.

"Babe. Is there something you're not telling me?"

Nicole started to get a little nervous. "No." she replied, shaking her head.

John was starting to get a bit irritated. "Don't lie to me Nicole. Did something happen between you and Lexi?"

She lets out a sigh.

"I attacked her. I blamed her for what happened to you."

John was visibly upset. "Why the hell would you go after her like that?"

"I'm not here to justify what I did, but you know what? It was her fault that you're in the hospital and that you're probably never going be able to walk again."

"She's been stalked, harassed, and at one point beaten to a pulp by some creep the past few months. And you attacking her didn't help!"

"I can't believe you're taking her side. I'm your girlfriend! And besides how do you know she's not making the whole thing up? Maybe she's using this whole stalker BS as a way to get you to sleep with her."

"I know her more than you. She's not a liar. And I believe her."

"You know what? If you want to baby-sit her and protect her from her imaginary stalker, go right ahead. I don't want any part of it. Don't bother coming back to my place."

"You really doing this now?" John replied. "I hope you feel better, and that you'll be able to walk again. But as far as we are concerned, we're done. And I mean it this time. Don't even bother trying to call me." Nicole said before turning around and walking away.

John wanted to say something,her, but he kept his mouth shut. He's afraid he'll say something he would regret.

He grabbed his phone and was confused to see that it was on the camera app.

He saw a picture of Lexi on the bottom right. He tapped on it and finds out it's a video.

He taps the play button and starts watching it.

"Hi John."

"I know you'll probably be mad at me for using your phone to make a video. But there's some things I need to get off my chest." "And I want you to be able to see and hear this video once you wake up from your coma. Which could be a few days or a week."

"Remember when we first met. We bumped into each other at a local coffee shop. It was just as I started my wrestling in NXT. You know, when I was dressed up in a Tinker Bell like outfit. I would wear a tutu, blow glitter out of my hand and wave a magic wand."

John couldn't help but smile a little.

"I didn't have a whole lot of friends. And my parents were always too busy. You were the first one who really made me feel welcomed."

"You taught me everything there was in wrestling. And you've helped me become the woman I am today. Not just in the WWE, but outside of it. And I'll always be grateful for that."

"John. You have no idea how much you've meant to me the past several years."

"Whenever I'm around you, I feel like I'm in heaven."

"You always make me the happiest I can be. No matter what."

"Whenever I have a bad day, you always comfort me."

"But... Gradually over time, something in me changed."

"I don't know when exactly, but somewhere along the line, I started seeing you more than just a close friend."

"I think..."

"I think I might be in love with you."

"No wait. I don't think I am. I know I am."

His eyes went wide. His mouth hung open a little.

"Not just because you're really attractive. You're so sweet, kind, and generous."

"I don't know if you've ever noticed how sometimes I would act all cute and flirty towards you."

"I always love it when you would hold me, and give me kisses on top of my little head. I always feel protected around you. You were like the boyfriend I never had."

"You have no idea how many times I've wanted to kiss you real bad. That one kiss didn't count."

"But you and Nicole were already dating. And it really hurt me."

"I knew I could never tell you how I really feel for you, because I didn't want to lose you as a friend."

"I wanted you to be happy. You being happy makes me happy. Even if it meant keeping my feelings hidden from you."

"And now you're life is ruined. I ruined your career, I ruined your relationship with Nicole Colace. And now you're going to be in a wheelchair, probably for the rest of your life."

"I don't know if you ever want to talk to me again, I just wanted to let you know..." "I love you John." "I love you with all my heart."

John just sat there dumbfounded. "So Lexi has had feelings for me all this time." he said to himself.

He suddenly found the note. He read it. I'm staying at the nearest hotel. I'll be coming by everyday.

He looked up to see a nurse. "You feeling ok ?" she asked.

He smiled. "Yes ma'am. Hey has Lexi Kaufman visited me yet today?"

She shook her head. "No. In fact, she hasn't been back the past few days. I'll let you know if she comes by."

John was confused. He then decided to call her to see if she's okay.

But it just went straight to voicemail. He started to get worried.

He then texted Mercedes.

J: Have you talked to Lexi lately?

He waited for about ten minutes before Mercedes texted back.

M: No. I've been calling her and texting the past few days and she hasn't called or texted back. God I hope she's okay.

John then called the hotel manager.

The manager said he hasn't seen her come in or out of the hotel for the past four days.

'Did she head back home?' he wondered. 'No. She wouldn't have left me here, considering my condition.'

That can only mean one thing. "She must be missing." he muttered to himself.
