Chapter 4 Storm's a-brewing

John dumped his stuff inside and went straight to the fridge, after such a long flight he was hungry. Hungry, horny and lonely. Pushing the last two aside he made himself something to eat. He was just glad he had managed to avoid the rain, now it was really coming down. According to Randy, they were meant to be having a storm, something the Viper hoped for, he loved storms. John wasn't so much of a storm-lover, it kept him trapped inside and away from the world. Once he had made the biggest sandwich he could he instantly sat down on the couch and just listened to the storm brewing. His mind to skipped to Raven, like it always did, it was weird how much he found out after the fact, of course he knew stuff about her while secretly dating but John found he learnt more about her during this break-up. He missed her more than he had ever missed anybody, even more than Liz. John found that he loved being on the road away from Liz more than he did being at home with her, but while he was with Raven, he hated being away from her. He hated leaving but able to come home to her was always worth it. John shook her from his head, he simply had to move on because he had closed all doors to Raven, and if he hadn't Iziah would be waiting on the other side ready to kill him. John couldn't blame her for being angry, afterall he was the one to call it off and hurt Raven, but then again Raven didn't exactly stop him from leaving when she could of. John knew that was a cop-out but it was the only thought that let everything be justifyed even for a second. After he was done with his sandwich he relaxed back on his couch and just listened to the rain and wind. So far it wasn't much a storm, thank God, last thing he wanted to deal with was broken property. It wasn't the most glamourous of places to live but it was still a roof over his head and thats all he really needed. With his plain one bedroom house, no one suspected that John Cena lived there, afterall wasn't he meant to be living in some sort of awesome mansion? The plain house was enough to fufil the simplest of needs, having a stable roof over ones' head.

John picked up his cellphone as the message alert came in, he couldn't help but hope it was from Raven, instead it was from Kathy, dumber than a sack full of dumb puppies Kathy.

Hi! How are you?

John just looked at the message wondering how the hell he was gonna get out of this one.

Blunt honesty has never failed me, sure people get hurt but in the long run they wind up respectin you for at least bein honest

John smiled at Raven's words, he remembered the exact setting she had told him that. They were in his bedroom just hanging out and talking, he asked her why she was so blunt all the time and she looked at him with those wonderful orbs and said matter or factly Blunt honesty has never failed me, sure people get hurt but in the long run they wind up respectin you for at least bein honest.

He knew it would hurt especially since it was rejection done through text but he hoped that she would at least be thankful for his honesty.

Sorry I'm doin this through text Kathy but I'm not interested, I'm sorry John Cena

:( Well at least you told me before I got too attached, bye John

John didn't bother texting back, what was the point especially when he really didn't care. His phone rang and that groan of annoyance rang through his vocal chords, heaving relief he found it was Randy and not Kathy.

"Hey Randy, how are you? Its been so long" John joked half-heartedly, at least Randy found it funny.

"Very funny Cena, but I have some great news"

"Which is?"

"I fucked Iziah!" Randy let out a chuckle "At least thats what I'll be saying in a few weeks"

John rolled his eyes, the last time he saw Randy this obsessed with a woman it turned out she was a whore, not that Iziah could be accused of that but still the obsession itself was enough.

"Randy have you ever thought that her rejection and hatred towards you isn't some sort of hard-to-get, she actually may hate you?"

Randy waved it aside "Women love me Cena, and Izzy is no different, I bet she fucks like a goddess"

If she's anything like her sister, then yes, John kept that to himself, "Randy, I'm serious, Iziah really doesn't like you, she doesn't like any of us, not after what me and Rey did"

"Don't change the subject...Wait, what did Rey do?" Randy asked clearly interested now. Whatever Rey did, Randy wouldn't do.

"Don't matter"

"John tell me or so help me God I'll start talking about a certain naked woman" Randy knew that hearing it would torture John all night because he wouldn't be able to get it out of his head.

"Fine. I'm not sure of the exact details, but apparently they got together while he was seperated from Angie and then she said that nothing else would happen until the divorce would happen, then the week he was away he got back together with his wife and he waited the whole week to tell her"

Randy didn't get it, "So she's mad because he wanted to give his marriage another go?"

John let out a sigh, this conversation wasn't helping anything at all. "No she was pissed because it felt like he only told her because he was snapped out, it was like he was going to keep her hanging around like a string for him to play with when he got bored"

"Which would make her a whore" Randy concluded, already he knew never to call her that again. His windpipe couldn't take another sucker-punch. "Didn't think Rey would do that but then again, its always the nice ones"

Blunt honesty has never failed me, sure people get hurt but in the long run they wind up respectin you for at least bein honest. Those words burst back into John's head, "I'm pickin that being bluntly honest would be the only way to get through to Izzy,"

"Thought girls hated the truth all the time, like when they ask does my ass look fat in this?"

John laughed as another memory came to mind, Raven had asked him that once, she had new pair of jeans and that question popped up, he didn't want to lie so he told her the truth, yes they did. John expected a blow-up fight for which he already had his arguement ready, instead Raven kissed his cheek and took them off. She would return them tomorrow for ones that didn't make her ass fat.

"What chu laughin at?"

"Just something Rae said, anyways I'm still gonna say blunt honesty, just adjust the tone"

"Sweet, right I'll let you go, I'm in the middle of my Iziah related search, seriously you have no idea how many people acutally have that name, its weird"

John let him go, barely holding his tongue about the info he had, he still had Iziah's number. No way was he going to give it to Randy especially if he wanted both him and Randy to keep living. John shut everything up and headed to bed, as always alone but at least it wasn't with someone as boring as Kathy. John stripped down and settled into bed. He lay awake and just listened to the weather, now it was picking up. The loud banging and crashing was enough to pull John into a distracted sleep.
