When it falls apart. (Book 2 in Mended series)

Roses are black, I ain't coming back.

As Jon laid beside me, Colby walked in with a bouquet of black roses. "Awwwwww thanks." I said. "Can I talk to you?" He asked. I nodded and Jon stepped out. "What's up?" "Are you two back together?" He asked. "Yea." "Couldn't you have at least told me?" He said. "I'm sorry." I sighed. "Iza, I love you." He said. "I love you too."  I said. "If you love me, why are you with him?" "I told you that I was gonna get him back." I said. "I just felt something between us, a connection that wouldn't break." "Colby, I love you, but l told you I was gonna get back with him. He came in here and cried and told me how much he loved me." I said. "Ok." He said quietly and walked out.

Jon came back in. "Hey baby." He smiled. "Hey hot stuff." I smiled. He laid back in the bed with me. I played with his little curls. "I love you." He said. "I love you too." It was 1:30 in the afternoon and my world was slowly crashing down and smashing to a million little pieces. "I wish none of this ever happened." I sighed. "Me too sweetheart." Jon said. "I'm sorry." I whispered. "Me too." He said. All of a sudden,my leg had a sharp pain. "Ahhhhh." I grunted. "What happened?" He asked. "I don't know but it really-ahhhhhhh" I just about screamed. I let the tears roll down my face as I sat there with an unbearable pain.

After the doctor came in and gave me the numbing stuff, Jon went to go grab us something to eat. As I was laying there, Paige walked in. "Heyyyyy." She smiled. "Hey." I said. "How ya feeling?" "I'm ok, waiting till I can get back in that ring." I sighed. "It just takes a little bit of patience and perseverance, you know that all of us got your back the employees and other superstars are doing our best to try and make sure you are never alone. Most of all, the freak nation has you. Have you seen all of the tweets and stuff?" She asked. "No." I grabbed my phone and all over Instagram and Twitter we're get well tweets and posts. I smiled.

I tweeted "thanks to all of the #FREAKNATION for the tweets and posts wishing my recovery well. I'm only gonna be benched for a bit then, you'll see me again. When I will get the Divas Championship and that nice WWE World Heavyweight Championship. Prepare yourselves there's a torpedo warning!✌🏻️😘"

I sent the tweet and then went to Instagram. "Thanks to my #FREAKNATION for all of your wishes for my recovery! I'm only benched for a while then I'm coming back for that Divas Championship and that nice WWE World Heavyweight Championship! When I return you won't forget it. Keep your eyes out...there's a torpedo coming just around the corner. See y'all soon." 😘.

I sent it and smiled. "You're right I'm not alone and this will be over!" I said trying to stay positive. She sat down beside my bed. "IM BORED!" I yelled. She laughed. "You have to cooperate with this or it won't work out the way it's supposed to." She said. "Have I really been one to cooperate with things?" I asked.

"No, but if you want to make it back into that ring, you are gonna have to cooperate." She winked. I groaned. After 30 minutes,Jon came back with lunch and Joe was right behind him. "Hey bozos." I smiled. "How you feeling baby girl?" Joe asked. "I'm fine until this novocaine crap wears off then it's awful." I said. "I want to hit the doctors." I sighed. "I know you do." Jon said.

"Give me that food." I said to Jon. He chuckled and handedg me the box. I opened the box and grabbed a chicken tender. "Hello Miss Manchester, I'm Dr. Mano, I'm going to walk you through your physical Therapy Options." "Ok go on." I said with a mouth full of food. So it really sounded like. "Oh Nah good one." He nodded.

"There is 1 of 3 options. Either way you will be having your physical therapy while you're here with us. But when you leave next week, you can either Get it done here and we will be letting you know your therapist as soon as we can get him here. So, you can do that, you can go to The therapy place that's about 20 miles down the road or you can have a special therapist at the Recovery Road Down the street."

I nodded and knew that I didn't have money to worry about because I knew that it was covered by the company. "Which one will get me ready in the fastest amount of time I'm ready to get back in that ring. And I will eventually." I said. The doctor chuckled lightly. "It will take 10 months either way, but the best therapy reports we have gotten is from Recovery Road, the people there are extremely well trained."

I nodded. "Ok, we can do that." I said. "Wonderful!" He smiled. "We will be back with you in a little while with your therapist here." I nodded. "Wonderful!" I mimicked his voice. "Baby girl if you keep it up like this it'll be forever until you can get back In the ring." Joe said. "It's already gonna be forever." I rolled my eyes.

He laughed. "It's not funny!" I pointed at him with my chicken tender in my hand. "It is funny." He laughed. I threw my fry at him. He caught it and ate it. "Wow." I laughed. Jon took a bite of his burger and went out. "Where are you going?" I asked. He didn't answer he just walked out. "Where did he go?" I asked. He shrugged his shoulders.

"What do you mean you left?" He asked. "Why?! Without you this entire Storyline isn't gonna work out and what about the brotherhood we have? You can't throw it all away because of this! Bro, please don't do this. It'll work out. I swear. Please, I don't do this very often but what is it that you want? Fine you got her."

I wrinkled my brow in confusion. Jon walked back in with tears coming down his face. "Iza, this isn't gonna work out, Colby left because he can't handle the fact that we are together. I love you, but my career and my brotherhood is on the line." He said. "You are leaving me, because of your career?" I asked. "Iza I went through hell to get where I am now. They were all that I had through my walk here. The moment I saw you, I knew something was gonna happen, I knew it was love. But Iza, this is what I worked my butt off for 13 years for. I don't want to lose this. It's better for both of us. You have your goals and I have mine. I can't let this just ruin us. We have goals and we need to achieve them. I'm sorry."

My jaw was on the floor. I was so shocked. I felt my heart break. I cried. "What the hell?" I asked. "I'm sorry baby girl." Joe said. I cried. "It's over, because of an emotion that only lasts for a little while?" I closed my eyes and knew that I screwed this up. I have to fix it. As much as it takes.
