A white two-story house sits in the middle of nice urban neighborhood. Looking at the front of the house there is a beautiful oak door with a faded welcome sign hanging in the middle. Two white columns help to support the deck overlooking a beautiful plush green lawn. On the right hand side of the deck are two oak rocking chairs that had been carved by hand. Two grey haired men are sitting side by side in the rocking chairs holding hands. Each man bears a gold ring upon their fingers. Sitting in front of them are three children. There are two little girls both with blonde hair and blue eyes. The older of the two girls is missing a tooth and she has her hair braided in pigtails. The other girl is only three she has her hair in a ponytail and she is gripping a teddy bear. The little boy has darker hair and brown eyes like one of the gentlemen. He has the same confident smile as his grandfather he sits cross-legged by the girl with the pigtails. The oldest of the three children speaks up first.

"Papa Mommy told us that tomorrow is your 25th wedding anniversary."

The grey haired man with the blue eyes looks at his husband with a smile on his face as he gives his hand a gentle squeeze.

"It's true my dear your grandfather and I will have been married for 25 years. My goodness how time flies."

The other man smiles and leans in giving his husband a gentle kiss on the lips. They both pull away and look at their grandkids who are watching them with smiles on their faces.

"Papa can you tell us the story of how you and grandpa met?"

" I suppose I can but are you children ready for a long story?"

"Is it really that long Papa?"

"Oh yes my dear Katrina your grandpa and I have been through a lot to get where we are today."

The little girl with the ponytail gets up and makes her way towards Randy. She climbs up into his lap and rest her head against his chest. Randy laughs and looks over at John who chuckles and looks at the other two children sitting on the porch. He taps his leg and they both get up and make their way to him. He lifts them into his lap and wraps his arms around them.

"It all started 28 years ago when your grandfather and I were WWE superstars."

John looks in the mirror hanging above his sink in his locker room. Tonight the WWE roster was in Dallas for the taping of Raw. Lately John had not been feeling like himself everything had seemed empty half-hearted and he supposed that he knew the problem but there was nothing he could do about it. John turns on the water and lets it run a minute so that the water will have a chance to get warm. He puts his hand under the faucet and cups his hands. He splashes the handful of water on his face. Then he reaches over and grabs his axe soap from his bag which is sitting on top of the toilet. He squeezes a small amount into his palm and works up a lather. He spreads the soap over his face and then rinses it off with some water. He pulls a towel down from the holder and dries off his face. John feels a little better. He can smell the scent of the soap and it makes him feel a little like him old self. John pulls out a white you can't see me shirt and pulls it over his head. He then grabs his bag and makes his way out of the bathroom. He sits on the couch in his room and starts to lace up his tennis shoes when there is a knock on the door. He quickly slides on his other shoe and ties it before getting up and making his way to the door. He opens it and sees his two of his three best friends standing there. Nikki doesn't say anything she just pulls him into a hug and then quickly pulls away.

"What are you guys doing here?"

"Wow nice to see you too John."

"Sorry I didn't mean for that to be rude."

"Good then invite us in."

With this Punk pushes past John and makes his way into the room. He looks around the locker room before plopping down on a black couch seated in the corner. John steps aside and lets Nikki into the room before closing the door behind her. She thanks John before joining Punk on the couch. John grabs one of the fold up chairs in the corner of the room and unfolds in front of them. He then sits down and looks at his friends. Nikki has a smile on her face but there is a look of worry in her eyes. Punk is starring a hole through John and this makes him feel really uncomfortable. John can't help but to notice that they are both wearing ring attire. Punk has on a black hoodie with a straight edge logo and blue shorts with his stars across the front. Nikki is wearing a blue one piece suit with a low-cut neckline and her hair is in a ponytail. She looks at Punk then looks at John.

"I gather that the two of you didn't come here just to visit so what is going on."

Punk leans forward and looks John in the eyes he tries to smile but it falls short.

"John we worry about you?"

"I am fine."

"Everybody else may believe that but we don't. We know something is wrong with you John you haven't been yourself lately."

Nikki leans forwards and grabs John's hand she gives it a gentle squeeze.

"John we just wanted to tell you that you can talk to us. We are here for you no matter what."

"I am fine."

Punk seems to become a little agitated at this statement so he stands up and goes for the door.

"If you are fine come out with us tonight."

"I don't feel like it."

When John says this Punk is back on the couch faster than John can register what has just happened. He looks at John but this time his face is darker than before. He looks upset like hes been lied to his whole life.

"This is what we are talking about you don't want to go out anymore. All you do is work and then come back to the hotel and sleep. John you use were the first person to want to go out."

"Okay okay you guys I am sorry okay, your right I haven't been myself lately. I just feel like well I guess I can't really tell you what I feel like because I don't even know how I feel anymore. I thought I had everything figured out and come to find out everything I thought was shit."

Nikki squeezes his hand harder which causes John to pull away from her. He stands up and picks up the chair and folds it up. He throws it across the room and the chair hits the wall with a sickening thud which startles both Punk and Nikki. They exchange glances before looking back at John.

"She left me I mean we just filed for divorce. It was both of our ideas before you ask. I mean I thought I knew that I loved her and that we were going to spend our lives together but at the same time I always knew that I didn't love her not because she was her but because she was a women. I like men I am gay okay? There I said it I don't have shit figured out what else do you expect when you fall for your best man."

John can't believe he just spilled all of it everything he had struggled with for months had just come pouring out of his mouth like vomit and there was no way to put it back. He hated himself why couldn't he just be strong and get over it. He was stuck in a pity party which had led him to his life of nunhood lately. John leans against the wall and slides down it. He puts his hands over his head and let's the tears fall. He can't control the sea of anger and hurt that had boiled for months. Nikki doesn't say anything she just gets up and makes her way to John. She sits next to him on the floor and puts her arms around his waist. John rests her head against his shoulder and let's the tears flow. Punk let's John cry he just sits on the couch and watches feeling really bad for his best friend. Once John seems to calm down a little Punk gets off the couch and makes his way over to John. He extends a hand and John takes it. He helps his friend off the floor and pulls him into a hug.

"I am sorry bro that sucks but who cares if you love women or men. You are still the same wonderful person to me and nothing can change that."

"Thanks man."

"Yeah of course I have never met a more caring, loving, giving person then you John and you deserve some one who loves you for you."

"I know."

"So then what's the problem? Come out with us tonight after the show. It will be just like old times and a night out is what you need honestly."

"Yeah maybe your right."

"Of course I am."

"Now we have a show to get to." Punk says as he extends a hand to Nikki and helps her off the floor. She fixes her outfit and then grabs John's hand and leads him out of the room together the three of them make their way to the backstage area. They come to the area where food is set up first. Nikki looks around and sees her sister sitting at a table with Alicia and AJ. She says farewell to the boys for now and makes her way over to the table. John and Punk watch her for a moment before a stagehand approaches them.

"Excuse me guys but Punk your match is up."

"Okay."

With this the stagehand hurries away and John looks at Punk.

"Would you mind if I came with you."

"Nah not at all."

With this the two of them make their way towards the area where the ramp and giant screen is setup. As they approach they can hear Paul Heyman's music playing. He pushes past them and makes his way through the curtain and down the ramp. Punk watches the tv that is sitting on a table near them. Heyman demands his music to stop and grabs a mic. He is in the middle of the ring and he begins to trash Punk. Punk watches him for a minute until he gets the cue to interrupt Paul. So Punk says goodbye to John and makes his way through the curtain and down the ramp. John is watching the tv and what is happening in the ring. John is paying so much attention to the tv that he doesn't even notice Randy Orton walk right up to him.

"Hey."

John about jumps out of his skin which of course causes Randy to laugh. John turns around quickly and gives Randy a dirty glare which causes Randy to stop laughing.

"Sorry I didn't mean to scare you I just haven't seen you for a while and I am worried about you."

"I am fine."

"Okay good. If you ever need to talk I am here for you."

"I am good dude really just Eve and myself are getting divorced."

"Damn I am sorry man that sucks."

"Yeah it is okay we just don't click anymore it happens."

"True."

Randy's music begins to play and he looks at John with sadness in his eyes.

"That sucks talk about bad timing."

"It's okay."

"Hey a bunch of us are going out later you wanna come?"

"Yeah I already got told I am going by Nikki and Punk."

"Great."

With this Randy disappears behind the curtain and towards the ring. John watches his heart is beating a hundred miles an hour and he can feel the butterflies in the pit of his stomach.
