A Dangerous Game •Jon Moxley•

33; Promises & I Love Yous

Gosh, last night seemed like a nightmare. I was hoping when I woke this morning that it was. But I was brought back down to reality,when I awoke and realized I wasn't alone in my bed.

Rex was asleep beside me. We had our prom clothes still on, and I could feel my makeup was smeared all over my face from crying.

I got up and trudged into my bathroom, washing my face and taking a shower. My thoughts wandered to Kathie. She was all alone when she died.

God, how could I have been so selfish to leave her?! I slammed my hand against the wall, trying to prevent more tears from escaping my eyes.

The curtain opened slightly and Rex popped his head inside. "Everything okay in here?"

"Y-Yeah, I'm almost done Incase you need to shower." I sniffled, washing the rest of the shampoo out of my hair.

"No, take your time. Just wanted to check on you. I'll be downstairs," He says, before leaving me once more.

After my shower I changed into jeans and a plain shirt, leaving my hair wet to dry. I practically rushed downstairs, just wanting to see what was going on.

Jacob was on the phone with our relatives, letting everyone know the bittersweet news. I pulled my phone out and saw a text message from my mom.

'Jacob called me last night, told me the news..I booked a red eye and I'm coming, honey. See you soon <3'

'Thank you mom..' 

Once Jacob hangs up, he noticed me waiting for him and instantly pulls me into a hug. "This all feels like a crazy dream.." He whispered.

"I know Jake, but we have each other to help through this, and just be glad Kathie isn't suffering anymore..she's at peace." I stated, pulling away to look him in the eye.

"With our fathers..god, I hope she's happy." He  sheds a tear, looking outside for a brief moment.

"I have no doubt that she is." I managed a smile.

"Well I found a copy of her will, and she didn't want a funeral or any of that, she wants to be cremated and taken to the Bahamas, where her and my dad went on their honeymoon." Jacob informed.

"That's so sweet..and if you'd like, I'd come with you as well." I offered. I didn't want him to go alone.

"Yeah I'd like that.." He nodded, "But I also noticed one thing she added recently, and it has to do with Jon."

My heart stopped at the mention of his name. What could he possibly have to do with any of this?

"Oh..what is it?" I tried to play it off, but seeing Jacob's sympathetic look on his face made me realize I wasn't as good a liar like I thought.

"Apparently we're throwing a farewell party for him here." He answered.

"Farewell? For what?" I scrunch my nose.

"He's got some tryout with The WWE after graduation, and apparently he told Kathie. So she wanted to do this, I suppose." He shrugged. "I'm not entirely happy either Astrid, but we'll get through it."

"So Kathie's dead and we throw a party for Jon?" I shake my head bitterly. "It seems wrong."

"I-I know..but it's what she wanted." He bit his lip, "I guess I'm gonna go call him."

When Jacob disappeared into the other room, the door opened and my mom walked in carrying her suitcase.

"Mom!" I rushed into her arms and buried my head into her neck. I didn't realize I was crying until I felt her shirt was wet.
