The Samoan (A Roman Reigns Story) (Reupload)

Joe

I walked over to him and I couldn't believe he was even here. The man I loved. The man I wanted to be with. The man that I loved so much, it got my best friend killed. He handed me the flowers and I threw them on the ground. I wasn't going to break. Not today of all days. Not in front of him especially.

"I heard about Caroline."

Anger boiled up inside of me at seeing him here. "And what does it matter to you? I'm just a fan, right? What would a fan's tragedy have to do with you?"

"Don't do that."

"Do what? Be mad at you? Because I am. My best friend died because we had a fight. You know what that fight was about? You. It was about you. I let my feelings for you cloud everything. I let it overshadow my job, I let it overshadow my dreams, I let even overshadow my best friend. She died because of me. Because of you. Because I let myself love you so much until nothing else mattered. My friend is dead and it is my fault."

"It isn't your fault, Eve."

"Yes it is. It is my fault. Now I have to live with the consequences. I should have never fallen in love with you. My friend wouldn't be in the ground right now if I hadn't fallen for you."

I tried to walk away but he grabbed my arm and turned me around.

"Evanna, I'm sorry. About everything. About Caroline, about what I said. Caroline...called me. She told to break up with you. And I know, this isn't what you want to hear but..."

"I already know. I figured it out. That's what our fight was about."

"You already know?"

"Yeah...but it still doesn't change the fact that you listened to her. She may have tried to break us up but you let her. She told you all about risking my dreams and ruining my life. Some faith you had in me. You didn't trust me to get out of it on my own when I felt that I was 'ruining my life'. Caroline may have given you the gun but you're the one that pulled the trigger. Don't blame this all on Caroline. You let her break us apart. And then I let my love for you get her killed."

I pulled away from him and walked to the reception. I couldn't deal with him. Not today, not ever again.
