"Wow, man what a show, did you see how many people were in that arena man?"

"I know, holy shit, they were awesome."

"Man, you put on quite a show tonight."

"Thanks John….you know me. Anything to entertain."

"You coming out to the club tonight?" asked John

"Yeah ….for sure. I just wanna get cleaned up and stuff."

"Awesome man, hey, what's that noise?"

"Ah..that's my cell. It's under that shirt. Pass it up man."

Randy and John were in the locker room after their matches ended on WWE RAW. Randy and John were best friends and generally traveled together while on the road.

"Hello?"

"Randy? Where are you?"

"L.A Dad. What's up?"

"Um…son I don't know how to tell you this…"

"Oh shit…Dad. I missed her graduation. Shit. Is she pissed? I mean I know that we haven't been talking. Ah shit I should have been there. I mean-"

"Randy, stop, that's why I'm calling. Son, there's been accident. Laura has been in a horrible wreck."

"What? Is she ok?"

"Well things don't look good son. They want us all at the hospital. The docs think we should say goodbye. I just thought that you should know."

"I'll be on the first plane there. Please…oh god, don't let her go before I get there."

"We'll see you when you get here son."

"Ok Dad" said Randy as he hung up, "Fuck….I gotta get home. There's been an accident." He said and as he bolted out the door.

Six hours later, he was finally at the hospital. It was six am when he ran through the doors of the hospital and went up to the ICU. His parents were sitting outside of a door. His mother was asleep and leaning on his father who was just sitting there in a daze.

"Dad"

"Randy, son, you're here"

"Of course I am. Dad, is she still….. alive?"

"Yes, for now. Randy it's not good at all. She's been through surgery to stop internal bleeding and it's possible that there could be brain damage."

"Dad, how did this happen?"

"They were out partying; they were heading to another party when it happened. There were seven people in the SUV. All of them drinking. Including the driver."

"What, the driver was drinking?"

"Yes, he was driving too fast and when he took a corner he lost control. The SUV rolled three or four times down an embankment. Laura and a couple others were lucky enough to be thrown from the wreck. The driver, her friend Melissa, her boyfriend, and one other was killed. The others are in very rough shape. They don't think that one of the others will make it through the night. And well it doesn't look good for Laura."

"God, Dad, she can't die. Why the hell would she get in with someone that was drinking? Son of a bitch. When do you think I can see her?"

"I'll take you in now."

The two men walked into the room. Randy was not prepared for what he saw. She was hooked up to a number of IV's and had a breathing tube. Her head was bandaged, her face black and blue. She looked like a little kid lying in that big bed. Randy walked in and sat by her. As he looked at her the memories started to flood back. They were friends forever but when he left everything changed. She changed. She went from being a cute kid to a hell raiser, but she certainly did grow to be beautiful. When Randy left in 2001 and didn't return home for almost two and a half years he couldn't believe how beautiful she had become. Now she was seventeen and he thought she was the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. Randy didn't know why he was feeling this way. He was amazed that all it took was to be in the same room with her for his feelings to come back.

When she gets better, if she gets better, I'm going to make it up to her. All of the promises that I made I will fix. God, if you'll just help her through this I promise that I will change. I will be there for her and I'll make up for everything.

Randy started to cry as he took her hand and listened to the beep of the machines that were keeping her alive.
