Nikki's POV:
"Nikki?" "John? Oh my god. What happened to you?" I decided to go to John's since there was no saving this relationship. I wanted to get all my stuff out of his place so I can officially be out of his life forever. I could hardly recognize John. His eyes were bloodshot red, his clothes were on backwards, he hasn't shaved, he smelled like booze and his place was a mess. That's so unlike him because everyone knows that John Cena is a neat freak. "What do you mean?" He asked holding onto the door for support since he could barely stand on his own. "Jesus John, " I took his hand and closed the door behind us, "You're a mess."
"Nikki left." "I did but only because I figured you hated me for lying to you. Look, lie down on the couch okay?" I grabbed his hand out of habit and drug him to the couch, forcing him on his back. I've never struggled to get him in that position that's for sure. "Don't go Nikki." I paused closing my eyes and suddenly, John was holding my hand. No, no. I slowly pulled my hand away, "John, no. I have to. I have to go and I have to get my stuff and I have to get out of here before I do something I'll regret." "Something like what?" "Like take care of you.."
I stood up and quickly made my way way up the stairs toward his bedroom. I blinked back tears and tried to keep my mind set on the main goal which was getting my stuff out of this house. I shoved everything I could inside of my suitcase as quickly as I could. I can hear John's footsteps going up the stairs but I chose to ignore them because if I didn't, I knew how hard it would be to walk out of here. Focus, Nicole, focus. "Nikki, what are you doing? You packing your stuff? For real?" "Yes for real." "Look, I get it. I was an idiot. I should pay more attention to you, I see it now. I can change, hey."
John grabbed my arm and forced me to look in his eyes. Once I did, I saw a completely different John. Sure, he was John and he sounded like him but he wasn't. He looked...gone. That's the only way I can describe it. I just know whatever I saw in his eyes scared me but I couldn't look away. John gave me a crooked smile and said slowly, "Once you divorce Kevin, I'll give you what you want." He let go of my arm then continued, "Nicole, I love you. You know that. Everyone on this freaking planet knows that. Hell, even Kevin knows that. I'll give you whatever because baby you and I, we're endgame. I never give up. "
"John, what are you." I gasped when John got down on one knee. He smiled and pulled out a ring from the pocket of his shorts then held it before me. It was beautiful and left me speechless. "Nicole, I love you more than I love anyone. I love you more than my job and if I lose you, I can't live anymore. I'll marry you. I'll have a thousand and one kids with you if that means you'll be happy. I can't let you go. So Nicole, will you marry me?" I hopped up and down excitedly, "Yes, John! Yes!"
