"Jon, that shouldn't have happened!" I say, putting my shoes on.

Jon and I woke up at the same time, and I was rushing to get out of here and back to my hotel room with April and Amelia. April was probably worried since I didn't bother to call or text her at all. It's about 7:30 in the morning and I'm freaking out. I don't want April to be annoyed and furious with me. Gosh, I'm such an idiot sometimes. How could I be so foolish?

"Yeah, I guess. You're right." Jon says quietly. He looks a little unhappy, but I don't really pay much attention to it at the moment.

"I was just really upset because of everything that happened and, ugh, I don't know anymore." I say, followed by a sigh of frustration.

Sometimes in moments like this, I just want to cry.

And that's what I'm trying not to do.

I hurry towards the door to leave the hotel room but I feel Jon's hand pull me back against his warm chest for a hug. His arms wrap around my waist. I can hear his very familiar heartbeat with my ears. "Jon, I have to go see Amelia." I say.

I feel him kiss the top of my head as he releases me from the hug. I look up into his hypnotizing blue eyes and smile.

"You're beautiful." He says quietly, smiling down at me. Something about his smile just didn't seem right. He seems distressed. I can't help but question him on why he just don't seem happy today.

"Are you okay?" I ask, looking at him with curiosity.

"I'm fine." He responds quietly.

Something tells me that he's lying.

"Jon, you know you can tell me if something is wrong. I'll listen." I place a hand on his arm which makes him tense up. I immediately put my hand back down to my side. "Sorry." I mumble.

I turn around and leave the hotel room without saying another word, and I already miss Jon. I knew something was bothering him, but if he didn't want to tell me, then I wouldn't push the subject any further. Maybe he just woke up and said to himself, "Oh, this is gonna be a bad day," or something. Maybe nothing's wrong, but he just woke up in a bad mood.

I walk back into my hotel room to see April and Amelia sitting on the bed, coloring pictures. "Hi, guys." I say loud enough to get their attention. Both girls look over at me.

"Aunt Kathryn!" Amelia shouts. She runs over and gives me a big hug.

"Hi, sweetie." I say

"Look what April did to my hair!" She says, turning around so I can see the beautiful fishtail braid in her long, blonde hair.

"Wow, it is beautiful. She did a good job. Did you tell her thank you?" I ask the little 4 year old.

"Yep!" She responds, running back over to the bed where her and April were drawing butterflies.

April looks at me and raises an eyebrow.

"I can explain-"

"Dude, it's fine. Jon asked me to watch Amelia for the night. I'm guessing you guys did something . . .?" I immediately know what she's talking about, and to prevent her from getting angry, I lie.

"No! We didn't do any of that! He just laid me down so I could sleep."

"Yeah, okay. I'll believe that." She says, chuckling to herself. I roll my eyes.

April and I had just entered the building where WWE Smackdown will be tonight. I'm holding Amelia's hand while we make our way to the diva's locker room. On the way there, people look at me weirdly and they talk about me behind my back.
