Chapter 33- Marci (Colby's POV)

I walked out of medical after I knew Marci was going to be ok. After I saw her hit her head, everything in me was scared. I was glad she was going to be ok. I walked towards the locker room when the girl I flirted with earlier was standing near the door. I sighed. I knew what she wanted.

"So, where is it? Where is my money?"

"I'll get it for you. It's in my bag."

I walked in and went towards my duffel. I started to grab out the cash.

"You know, that girl you were trying to make jealous was really pretty."

"Yeah, I know."

"So, why don't you just ask her out instead of paying me off to act like I like you or whatever?"

"We used to be together but I messed up and now she hates me."

"What did you do?"

"I slept with her best friend."

"Wow, you did mess up."

"Is this a part of the payment plan? I hired you as an actress to do this. I didn't sign up for you to ask all these personal questions."

"Hey, just calling it like I see it. I think you should apologize to her instead of acting like a jerk. Then maybe, you would get her back."

I sighed. I guess we were continuing with the personal questions. "She will never want to be with me again. I messed up really bad and now I have to live with it."

"Can I tell you something?"

"I guess."

"I cheated on my fiancee a while back ago. I loved him with everything I had. And he returned the same. But one night, we had this huge fight and I went out and cheated on him. At the time, I thought it was smart. I thought revenge was the best thing I could do to really hurt him. And you know what, it worked. He was so upset. We broke up and years later, I see him in a coffee shop. We say hi to each other and catch up. He got married and had a kid on the way. We talk about what happened and he says that he wished we could have made up."

"And the point is?"

"The point is, people forgive. If two people really love each other, they will forgive for something as bad as what you did. Avoiding the problem isn't going to solve anything. You can continue to try and hurt each other. Or, you can talk it out and maybe, just maybe, you both could be happy again. Maybe not together but happy in general. I never made up with him and it left me unhappy until we talked about it. Don't let that happen to you too."

I handed her the money and she walked out. Was that what I needed to do? Should I really talk to Marci? Maybe I should consider it.

~ One Week Later ~

I knocked on her door and waited. She had to be here, right? But she didn't answer the door for so long. Where was she? I knocked several more times. No answer.

"What are you doing?"

I looked over at Jon.

"Here to talk to Marci. You know where she is?"

"She left a while ago."

"Where?"

"The arena. Said she had some things to discuss with Paul."

"Do you know what?"

He shook his head.

"Ok, thanks."

I started to walk away.

"Colby?"

I turned to him.

"Just, don't hurt her."

I nodded and walked towards the car to leave to the arena.

When I got there, people were preparing for RAW. I wonder where Marci was. I walked backstage and saw Marci shaking hands with Paul and Stephanie. All three of them looked sad. What was going on? Marci walked off towards the parking lot and I started walking after her.

"Ah, Colby, we have some things we will need to discuss with you, Jon and Joe."

"What things, sir?"

"Well, with Marci leaving, we'll need to..."

"Marci's leaving?"

"Yeah, I assume she would have told you. You guys are still dating aren't you?"

Marci was leaving? She was leaving the WWE?

"Um, can you excuse me for a minute?"

"Um, yeah. Sure."

"Thanks."

I ran towards the parking lot and saw Marci getting in her car.

"Marci!"

She looked at me as I ran towards her. As soon as I was in front of her, I caught my breath.

"What?"

"Where are you going? Paul said you were leaving?"

"Yeah."

"You can't leave. You said this was your dream and now you're going to just give it all up?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Paul said you were leaving. You're leaving the WWE."

"Um, no. I'm leaving The Shield. I think it would just be better for the both of us if I just left the group."

"Oh."

"Yeah, oh. Why does it matter to you anyways?"

"It doesn't."

"Then why are you asking?"

"Because... Jon and Joe would be pretty upset if you just left without a goodbye."

"Ok. Fine, whatever."

She got in her car and drove off. She was just leaving The Shield? That made me feel better. But why did I think she was lying?
