John and I catch up over the next few days, he told me how he was called up to the major leagues but Jake had more than one concussion and the possibility of him getting picked over other less injured hopefuls are slim so he opted into a coaching career instead, a wise choice John told me. John said he never got seriously involved with any other girls because he didn't want distraction from the game. He worked really hard, and when he wasn't on the ice he was at the gym doing strength training exercises. I don't think I ever saw him look this big, I would almost suspect he is using steroids, but I'm not asking him. If he wanted me to know, he would tell me. John said he planned on paying this house off quickly and then he was going to start investing in real-estate. He's aware that his career isn't going to last forever, so he needs income for when he's going to retire. He considered gyms and restaurants, then houses. He isn't sure which way to invest his money, so he's decided on a diverse portfolio for protection. I explained to John how Hunter is related to Elliot, and how I stole the microphone at the concert I was at and started singing duets with him. I even told him some of the funnier stories when I thought Slasher was dressed up as a street person and I hugged him, and it turned out really being a street person, and he saw the entire fiasco and laughed at me. I never wore those clothes again, because no matter how much I washed it, wearing the outfit gave me hee-bee-jee-bee's. It great getting caught up with him again, we talked for hours. I have my old friend John back. I'm just not sure there's enough to base an entire marriage on, it's something I'm going to have to consider. We need more time, maybe he can come to a few concerts and I can go to some of his games. With the thrill of the chase is gone, now it's whether his company is suitable for me for the rest of my life, or do I want to spend the rest of my life with Slasher. Every time I think of Slasher, I remember when we had the disagreement and he had multiple girls coming in and out of his change room which really upset me. Could someone like Slasher, be a one woman man? I wonder if even John can be a one woman man. I tend to pick the kinds of guys that hoards of girls lining up to get with them.

Nobody has ever bothered proving themselves to me until John actually said, thatmaking the major leagues without sharing that moment with me felt watered down,that's a huge first step. I can't say Slasher made any gesture along those same lines, noteven close. After three days with John, my mind was made up, I promised him fidelity,before going back on tour.
