Five months had passed since my birthday. I was extremely happy.
Right now I was sitting in the hotel room. Joe had gone to the gym so I was alone. Nikki and Brie were over but they didn't stay too long.
There was a knock on the door and I answered it. Bray Wyatt stood on the other side. "What do you want Bray?" I asked.
"I just thought you'd like to know what kind of cheating husband you married." he said.
"What the hell are you talking about?" I asked.
"Joe's been seeing some girl. You know when he says he's going to the gym, he's actually hooking up with this girl."
"You're lying."
"No I'm not."
"Do you have any proof?" I asked.
"No. I don't. You're just gonna have to take my word for it." he said.
"You see Bray, I'm not gonna do that. You have done so much crap to me ever since I got with Joe. You've always wanted to give us a reason to end our relationship. It's not gonna work. You can't just show up here and tell me that my husband is cheating on me. If he was, I'd know. I've lived around people who have cheated Bray, okay? I know the signs. I know what to look for." I said.
"Katie, you don't understand. This girl may be pregnant with his baby." he said.
"Good bye Bray. Don't come here again." I shut the door and sighed. Bray had a habit of lying and meddling but I couldn't help but feel like there was some truth behind what he was saying.
Instead of dwelling on it, I decided to keep myself busy. I started cleaning a little bit.

I was sitting at the table just looking at the full coffee cup in front of me when Joe walked into the hotel room. "Hey babe." he said.
"You were at the gym for a while." I said.
"Yeah. The guys wanted to go eat and then we went to the mall for a few minutes. Jon wanted to get something nice for Paige." he said.
"Oh."
"Yeah. I'm gonna go shower." He kissed my head and then walked into the bathroom.
I noticed his phone sitting on the kitchen counter. I looked around to make sure he wasn't out here. Once I heard the shower water, I grabbed his phone. I started going through messages. Everything checked out except for an unknown number. I clicked on it and a picture of a girl showed up on it. 'What do you think? ' was the caption. 'Beautiful.' was what he said. Tears started forming in my eyes.
"What are you doing?"
I jumped and saw Joe standing at the bedroom door looking at me.
"Why do you have my phone?" he asked.
"I never thought you'd do this." I said.
"Do what?"
"Cheat on me."
"What are you talking about? I would never cheat on you." he said.
"Then what is this?" I asked holding the phone up to him revealing the picture.
"Some girl sent me that picture when she got her Roman Reigns T-shirt. She wanted to know what I thought." he said.
"Whatever Joe. Bray told me that you're hooking up with some girl instead of going to the gym and then you come home and you immediately go take a shower."
"Katie I do that every time I come back from the gym." he said.
"Yeah. The gym. I guess whatever bitch you're screwing really does a number on you, huh?" I asked/yelled.
"This is ridiculous. I am not cheating on you."
"Tell it to someone who believes you." I said. I started walking to the door.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"Out. And don't worry I won't do what you've done." I said. I walked out and slammed the door behind me. I had to get out of here.
I got on the elevator and just broke down. Tears were streaming down like a waterfall. The elevator doors opened and I heard a gasp. I looked up and saw Nikki and Brie.
"Honey, what's wrong?" Nikki asked.
"Joe's cheating on me." I said.
"What? I never thought Joe was that kind of man." Brie said.
"I didn't either."
They took me to their room and sat with me until I was calm enough.
"Can I stay here with you guys?" I asked.
"Sure."
"Okay. I'm just gonna get my stuff." I said.
"Do you want us to come with you?" Nikki asked.
"No. That's okay. I should go alone."

I got up to the hotel room and knocked on the door because I didn't grab my key card. Joe answered the door and it looked like he had been crying. "I came to get my stuff. I'm staying somewhere else tonight." I said.
"Where?" he asked.
"Wouldn't you like to know." I said.
I went into the bedroom, grabbed my stuff and then walked out to see Joe sitting on the couch with his head in his hands. I set my stuff down and stood right in front of him.
"Just tell me one thing." He looked at me with tears in his eyes. "Did you really think I wouldn't find out?"
"Katie, please. You have to believe me. I would never cheat on you. I would have to be crazy to do that. There's nobody else in this entire world that could make me feel the way you do. I love you so much and I would never dream of being with anyone else." he said.
"I wanna believe you Joe but there's a part of me that just can't." I said.
"Why? I haven't given you a reason not to trust me. Ever." he said.
"I know. I just, I don't know. Bray seemed very convincing."
"Bray Wyatt? Katie look at the source." he paused. "Listen, if you don't believe me, ask Jon and Seth. They were with me. You know Jon wouldn't lie to you. Besides, if I had cheated on you, Jon would kick my ass especially since Bray is saying that I've been doing when I'm going to the gym. Jon goes to the gym with me."
"You're right. I'm sorry. It's just. I don't know." I said. Tears were forming again. Joe got up and hugged me. "I'm so sorry. I never meant to doubt you. I love you so much."
"I love you too. You're the only woman I could ever love." he said stroking my hair.
After this conversation, I honestly don't know what got into me. Considering Bray was the one that told me about this, obviously the source is unreliable. I would get him back for this.
