After that weird confrontation with Ted, John went to his room. He pulled out his high school year book and laid down on the bad, resting against the headboard. He opened the book and was met with a huge picture of Randy when he was in high school. Randy was in his room wearing one of John's football jerseys. John always loved it when Randy wore his clothes because he looked good in anything. He flipped through the pages looking at all his friends and enemies. He stopped at Adam who was his best friend. Adam didn't show up to the reunion though and he really wished that he did. He stopped at a picture of him and the football team. He really missed playing football and he could think back for hours on how much he loved it. He flipped a couple more pages and stopped on a random. He went down the rows of pictures of his high school mates and noticed a familiar name and it was Ted DiBiase. He looked up at his picture and it hit him.

Flashback

John was walking onto the field for football practice after school when he heard a lot of laughter coming from behind the bleachers. He walked over and saw a kid on the ground with four or five guys standing over him and they were on the football team. "Hey what are you doing?"

One of the guys looked up at him. "Nothing just messing with this little nerd." He kicked him on the leg.

John sighed "Really, can you be more childish." He walked up to them. "Leave him alone alright or you'll have to answer to me."

All five guys looked at him but only one stepped up. "And what are you going to do? It's five of us and only one of you."

John smiled "If you want to stay on the team then I suggest that you get on the field."

Not wanting to get kicked off the team they all ran off for practice.

John walked over to the boy that was still on the ground. "Hey are you okay?"

The guy nodded "Yeah I'm alright."

John held out his hand. "I'm John, captain of the football team."

Ted grabbed his hand. "I'm Ted, major geek."

John laughed "Yeah."

After helping him with his books John stood with him. "So captain of the football team huh?"

John smiled "Yup and proud of it." He turned and saw Randy walking onto the field and he smiled. "I have to go but are you sure that you're okay?"

Ted nodded "Yeah hey is that your brother or something." He said looking over at Randy.

John shook his head. "No that's my boyfriend Randy. I'll see you later Ted." He said running off.

Ted looked at John as he ran up to Randy and kissed him. No one ever did anything like that for him and from that moment on all he wanted was John.

END

John closed the book. "Oh my god it's really him." He leaned over to his dresser and grabbed the house phone. He was about to call Randy when there was a knock on his door. He slowly got up and went to the door. He hesitated and grabbed the door knob but still didn't open it because he feared that it was Ted. So he stood there as someone knocked and knocked and whoever was on the other side wouldn't let up. At that moment he knew who it was so he slowly backed away from the door.

"John are you home?" A voice called out.

John stopped because that wasn't Ted's voice. Maybe he was changing his voice so John would open the door. So he still didn't move from his spot.

Another knock on the door. "John I know that you're in there so open the door."

John took a deep breath and walked back to the door. In moments like this he really wished that he had a peephole. He made sure that the chain lock was on before opening it. He peered out and didn't see Ted but someone else.

The guy smiled "Next time you don't want anyone to know that you're home don't leave the light on. I saw your shadow come up to the door and move away."

John tilted his head to the side. "Adam?"

Adam chuckled "Yeah it's me."

John closed the door, removed the chain, pulled Adam inside, shut the door back and made sure to lock it. He turned to Adam who was looking confused. "What?"

Adam smiled again. "Are you hiding from someone or something?"

John smiled "My neighbor is starting to freak me out. He told me that he's been observing while I mourn over my Ex lover and-"

"What?" Adam said "You're not with Randy anymore?"

John shook his head. "A lot of stuff happened after you left. Randy broke up with me and we didn't speak for five years. Don't get me wrong I tried calling him and writing to him but he never got back to me. Now years later I come back home to the high school reunion to find out that he's married to someone else."

"Man I'm sorry; before I left you two were inseparable." Adam said.

John shrugged "I guess it wasn't meant to me." He walked over to the couch and sat down. "I know that he still loves me and wants to be with me but he keeps denying it and we even slept together."

"You what?" Adam said sitting next to him. "John he's married you're going to have to move on."

"I've tried that but trust me it didn't work out. Besides I only want him." John sighed "What would you do if the girl you loved was with someone else. Wouldn't you do everything that you could to get her back? That's what I'm trying to do with him. I've loved Randy ever since I met him and I'm not going to give up now."

Adam smiled "Then don't I know that you two have been through a lot and you're connected in every way possible. Randy knows this, he's just confused about his feelings and you're not helping him by being in his face 24-7 telling him how much you love him. Give him some time to think and breathe because right now you're suffocating him."

"How am I supposed to do that when we see each other all week? We both work at the school now so we're always seeing each other." John said sitting up.

"Really, even after all that stuff happened with the football team. You go back to the same place that gave you so much hell in high school." Adam said "You two must be really strong because there is no way that I'm ever working at that place. You can change the name but the memories will always be there." He shook his head, trying to rid his mind of those thoughts. "Anyway, what's going on with you and this guy that you're hiding from?"

John sighed "His name is Ted and he lives close by, like a few doors away. We went out a couple times and it went great but after I slept with Randy I stopped talking to him at every time I got. So a while before you got here he started going on about how I'm mourning over my Ex lover and all that. He knew that I wasn't busy when I said that I was so I say are you stalking me now and he say's more like observing me. When I told him I didn't want to see him anymore he told me that I was breaking up with him but we were never going out in the first place and to make matters worse I just found out the he went to high school with us. I helped him out once when some guys were picking on and after that he was always there. Until Randy got enough and told him off."

"Man that's insane so what are you going to do?" Adam asked.

"Try to avoid him I guess but everywhere I go I swear that someone is watching me and it's freaking me out." John said looking back at the door. "So what brings you here huh are you moving back for good?"

"No my mom is sick so I came back to help out until my brother gets here in a couple of days. I ran into your father and he told me where you were." Adam looked around. "You have a nice little place here John." He looked over at him. "So have you talked to Randy?"

John shook his head. "No, and you're right I'm never going to get anywhere by pressuring him so I'm going to keep things professional whenever I'm with him."

"I was going to see him but it's getting late and I should get back to my mom but I'll see you tomorrow alright." Adam got up.

John got up. "Yeah it's good to see you again."

Adam hit him on the shoulder. "You too, later." He headed for the door.

"Later!" John yelled after him.

Thursday morning

Randy was sitting in his car in the school parking lot. He's been thinking about John and Paul for a few days now but was still confused as ever. He jumped when there was a knock at the window and he looked up to see John. He rolled down the window and smiled. "Hey John what's going on?"

John shook his head. "Nothing, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry if I've been pressuring you into anything."

Randy smiled "That's okay." He was about to say something else but something caught his attention. He looked over John's shoulder and saw someone leaning against a car with a camera in his hands. "Is he taking pictures of us?"

John looked over his shoulder and saw a man with a camera. "Hey!" He yelled. The guy removed the camera and John saw who it was. "Ted"

When he saw John walking his way he jumped into his car and drove off.

Randy got out of the car. "Who was that John?"

John shrugged "I don't know but he looked like Ted and he was taking pictures of us."

Randy nodded "Ted as in-"

John nodded "Yeah turns out he's a complete stalker and he follows me everywhere I go."

Randy smiled "That sounds bad and I shouldn't be laughing."

John smiled "Don't worry about it but it's really good to see you smile again."

Randy looked down. "So Paul is working late again and I was wondering if you wanted to grab a bite after work, so we can talk about everything."

John nodded "Yeah I'd love too."
