Chapter I

Kate
I decided on the morning of August 7th 2006 that this had to stop. I made the decision while preparing to sneak out again that this couldn't happen again. I turned to look at the beautiful figure wrapped up in bed, which held me so tightly just 20 minutes ago and my body filled with guilt. It had to end. Today. I pulled on my cardigan and once again my lies found their way to a piece of paper: 'Had to meet the girls again, didn't want to wake you. Love you. Xx Kate xX' I hailed a cab to Boston Memorial Park and there he sat on a park bench, facing away from me, unaware I was there. Should I just walk away? Maybe that will be the way to end it. But I decided I had to do it properly.
I stood for 5 minutes, composing myself, thinking back over the past I had with him..the days before he left the WWE and I used to walk hand in hand with him, I even had a promo with him once. Thing is, I thought I was happy back then, but he's never made me feel the way John does every minute I'm with him. It makes me wonder why he still has this power over me where I can't say no. I put it down to first love. But I has to stop now.
"Hi" I said simply.
TNA's Christian Cage turned around, an excited look on his perfectly formed face, and replied with a gleaming "hey!"

John
I woke up alone. Again. I don't know why I expect to wake up next to Kate anymore, it's becoming such a routine it feels like I live on my own. I sat in bed staring at the letter she left on our bedside cabinet for 10 minutes, wondering what the emergency can be this time. She always has to rush off to meet the girls when we're back home in Boston...coincidental, I think. I completely forgot about the interview I had that morning and ended up having to go without showering. I got there just in time but had to wait for the interviewee to get there. I must've got my cell out to check for a phone call a lot because I barely heard the receptionist say 'waiting for an important call?' but I was in too much of a trance to answer her, just sort of grunted and nodded. The interviewee was late. But I wasn't in a 'I'm a celebrity' mood that morning so I just shook his hand and followed him to the office. I spent the next hour and a half in a couch that felt like card, with coffee that tasted like swamp water and the image of Kate doing the dirty in my head, while being asked if I was Vince for a day, what would I change...all employees would be followed by cameras..but I couldn't say that and sound crazy, so I simply answered with 'better communication between us and them'

Randy
"Okay Dad" I said for about the tenth time since our 5 minute long phone conversation – he just did not shut up when it came to Kate not calling for a few days, "Yeah, I'll tell her to call you as soon as I see her"
Finally the conversation ended; I threw the little silver gadget onto the bed and headed for the bathroom to shower and head to the gym. All I could think about was Trish as the hot water fell, the room slowly filling with steam. How can she still have feelings for John? She told me last night that she's in love with him, almost a year after he left her for my sister. Trish can be so naive, John cheated on her once and he'd sure as hell do it again – yet she can't see how good we'd be together if she just realised how in love with her I am.
'maybe' I thought to myself as I turned off the shower 'maybe if I told her about Kate, she'd realise how great I am for telling her my sister's secret, and she'd realise she loves me, not john!'
I rushed to the bed, before I'd even wrapped myself in a towel and called Trish. I was putting on my last sock as there was a knock on my hotel room door.
"Hey," looking down into her beautiful brown eyes "come in."

I stepped aside and allowed Trish to slide past me, following a few paces after her, joining her on the edge of the bed. This was my chance to tell her, to really make her mine. Why had I never thought of this before?
"Trish, I need to tell you something, something which you can never tell anyone, okay?"

"Take it to the grave Randall" she said, crossing her fingers over her chest, an excited look on her face.

Her excited expression soon turned to what looked like a look of determination after I told her my little sister was having an affair, with her once ex, Jason Reso, also known as Christian Cage.
"Er..." was all Trish said in reaction to my shocking piece of gossip. I felt guilty, regretting telling her "Randy, I'm sorry I need to go do something, see you tonight?"

The guilt seemed to disappear as she uttered, she wanted to see me later? I watched her leave, before heading out to practise for my match later against Batista.

Trish

Shit. Kate's cheating on John? Wow. I stopped immediately as an idea hit me and I felt a grin spread across my face.
"Perfect" I whispered smiling and ran back my hotel room to get ready for tonight. I had to look my absolute best for tonight's show.
