Present day: June 2018
John and Juliet were busy getting the house ready for a large party that night as their oldest child, Destiny, was graduating from high school. John and Juliet still couldn't believe that one of their kids was already graduating and at the top of her class. John's parents, brothers and their families were all coming into Tampa from Boston. Juliet's parents, her sister Vivienne and brother John and his wife were also coming in from California.
"John, please check on the twins and make sure that they are getting ready. And your mom and dad just pulled up." Juliet called out from the garage.
"Will do. Can you see if we have more whipped cream please?" John asked.
"We have 4 more cans of whipped cream." Juliet answered as she walked back into the house.
"Hi Juliet. Oh we've missed you both so much." Carol stated as she hugged her daughter-in-law.
"We've missed you too, mom." John responded.
"I still can't believe that my oldest granddaughter is graduating from high school already." Carol stated.
"Me either. I'm starting to feel old. And I still have three more in school." Juliet responded.
"Kids tend to do that to you." John Sr. stated.
"John, either use the whipped cream or put it back in the fridge before it melts." Juliet told her husband.
"Yes, dear." John responded.
While John, Juliet and John's parents visited, the kids came down stairs one by one. Destiny, of course, was the last one down as her makeup had to be just perfect. It wasn't much longer before Juliet's parents and Vivienne arrived followed by her brother John and his wife, Nicole and their two kids Andrew and Michael. With the house full of family and kids, no one heard the doorbell ring when Kinley and Randy with their kids arrived.
"Doesn't anyone answer the door anymore?" Randy asked as they walked into the kitchen.
"Sorry, man. Couldn't hear the door. Where's Kinley and the kids?" John answered.
"They're coming. Kinley was having some issues with the boys." Randy answered.
"We're right here." Kinley stated as she walked into the room with their three kids. "The boys wouldn't stop fighting and Reagan with her damn headphones up so loud couldn't hear me yelling at them."
"I completely understand that one. Destiny does the exact same thing every time we get in the car. Then Justin and Dylan fight over where they are going to sit and poor Trinity has to put up with it all." Juliet responded.
Once everyone was at the house, John handed out tickets for everyone and then they piled into their respective cars. John and Juliet lead the way to the high school where the graduation was taking place. After finding their seats, Destiny took off to join her friends and classmates. John pulled out the video camera and Juliet used the digital camera to capture this special day.
As the ceremony started, an unexpected and most unwelcome guest arrived at the high school. No one knew that the person was even there as they were the last thing on their minds. As the ceremony came to an end, every cheered for the graduates of 2018. Destiny was going to get a ride home from her friends so that way her parents could get the others home and get things set up for the party. As everyone was leaving, Juliet spotted the unwelcome guest and grabbed John's arm.
"What's wrong Jules?" John asked.
"Mike is here." Juliet answered.
"What? Where?" John asked.
"JC what's wrong?" John asked.
"Mike is here." JC answered. "Randy!"
"What's up?" Randy asked.
"John, I want you to make sure that Juliet and everyone gets to the cars ok. Randy and I are going to make sure that Mike doesn't go near Destiny." JC answered.
"Mike? As in The Miz? What the hell is he doing here?" Randy asked.
"Good question. I don't know and I don't want to find out." JC answered.
John lead everyone to the cars and made sure to stay with Juliet and the kids until JC and Randy got back. John and Randy were walking around the high school and finally found Destiny with her friends. John pulled her aside and told her that she needed to leave now with her friends as there was a dangerous person lurking around. Destiny agreed and she and her friends headed out.
"What are you going to do if he comes over here?" Randy asked.
"I have no idea right now, but I'm sure I'll think of something. He had just better stay away from my family." John answered.
John and Randy stayed until the campus was practically empty before heading back to their cars and back to John's house for the party. Once everyone was back at the house, they waited for Destiny to come home but she still hadn't arrived by the time the party was supposed to start. John and Juliet were started to get really worried and tried calling her phone but she didn't answer.
As the time slowly passed, John was now not only worried, but he was also getting angry that Destiny still wasn't home. John managed to make the food and Juliet tried calling Destiny's phone again. Still no answer and now it was getting dark. John was about to call the Tampa Police when their house phone rang.
"Hello." John answered.
"Hello. My name is Regina and I am looking for Mr or Mrs Cena." the lady stated.
"This is he." John answered.
"Mr. Cena, I am a nurse at Tampa Bay Hospital and I have your daughter, Destiny here in my care. Is there anyway you and your wife can come in?" Regina asked.
"We'll be right there." John answered before hanging up.
"John, whats wrong?" Juliet asked.
"Destiny is at Tampa Bay Hospital. We need to go." John answered.
John and Juliet headed to the hospital while everyone else remained at the house. They didn't know why Destiny was there, but they were about to find out. John grabbed the first parking spot and they rushed into the hospital ER looking for Destiny.
"Can I help you sir?" a nurse asked.
"We are looking for our daughter, Destiny Cena." John answered.
"Please follow me." The nurse responded.
John and Juliet were lead into a room where Destiny was sitting with another one of her friends. They were shaking and crying at the same time. As soon as Destiny saw her parents she ran up to them, hugged them and cried harder.
"Sweetie, what happened?" Juliet asked.
"We were on our way to the house and another car going faster that we were, slammed into our car and we spun around until we hit a brick wall." Destiny cried.
"Are you ok?" John asked.
"Yes. Just a few bumps and bruises. But I saw the man who hit us." Destiny answered.
"Who was it?" Juliet asked.
"That guy Mike you and dad told me about." Destiny answered.
John and Juliet exchanged looks before hugging Destiny again. John was pissed off beyond belief that Mike would come back and try to hurt their daughter. He obviously didn't learn his lesson the first time. Once Destiny was released to go home the three of them headed to the house to make the best out of the rest of the night.
