a/n: I don't own anyone in this story... the WWE owns all the werstlers.
Thank you for the reviews! Enjoy!
Eden POV
I was sitting beside Randy and he was livid… I didn't know what to say or do. I had only seen him this upset a few times. I hated when he got like this; he was horrible to deal with.
"Well, what are you going to do?" I asked after a few minutes of silence.
"I don't know…" he said after a long drag on his cigarette.
"What are you scared of?" I asked him and he looked at me.
"You." he admitted and I looked at him strange.
"What?" I asked him.
"I am scared to lose any more time with you." he said and I sighed.
"Randy…" I was saying and he put a finger over my mouth.
"No, listen Ed, I know that you don't like talking about it, but I can't do it. I got married after you told me too and you said nothing would change… well it did. I don't see you nearly enough; I can't take a baby taking up my time with you." he said and I sighed.
"We don't' know how much time you have left Ed and you are the only person who ever got me… I want you around for as long as I can and I don't want other people taking up that time." He said and I looked at the ground.
Randy was the only know who knew what I had and what I dealt with. He never once called it a disease or took pity on me. He is the one who has always been there for me. He even wanted to marry me, but I told him that it wasn't fair for him. He deserved someone who could be there for longer.
"Randy, I know that you want to be there, but you have Sam now." I said and he looked at me.
"No, I love her, but not like I love you." he said and I sighed. We had this discussion every now and then, but it was more frequent the older we got because Randy knew that time really was running out. I put my hands on the sides of his face and looked into his eyes. They were determined and I knew that meant this wasn't going to be easy.
"Randy, you married Sam… you love Sam." I told him. I looked at him and I hated his reflexes because as soon as the words were out of my mouth… his lips were on mine.
"No, I love you." he murmured against my lips. I wanted to believe him, but I knew that Sam was waiting for him.
"Randy, no." I said as I broke the kiss.
"But, Ed…" he was saying.
"Randy, we have never had a real fight and we have been friends along time; I'm not going to start now." I said and he nodded.
Randy POV
I hated it! I loved Eden and Sam, but I cherished Eden way more than Sam. I married Sam because she was everything I wanted and since Eden wouldn't marry me. I want nothing more than to take care of Eden and for her to know she is loved.
I agreed with her because I didn't want to fight with her. I loved Eden with everything and didn't know what I was going to do once she was actually gone. I looked at her and she kissed my forehead.
"Go home, Randy. Sam loves you." she said and I sighed.
I didn't want to go home; I wanted to sit with her. I loved Sam, but she wasn't the one I was ever in love with.
"Fine, for you." I told her and she hugged me.
I told her that I would do the normal while I was on the road and left to go back home. I got back and walked in. Sam was sitting on the couch waiting for me… I hugged her as soon as she stood up.
"Sorry." She whispered.
"Me too." I said and it hurt because it was almost hollow.
Heath POV
I didn't want to leave because I really liked Eden. She was great. I was sitting on the bus the next morning when Randy got on the bus. He didn't look like he had slept at all. He walked over and sat across from me.
"You ok?" I asked him.
"Yeah, just hate leaving." He said and I nodded.
"I don't like it now either." I said and he looked at me.
"You fuck with her and I will break you." he growled at me and I was shocked. Randy had told me to go for her and now he was being seriously protective. I just nodded as he put his headphones on; I knew they were close, but I didn't expect Randy to be a dick so fast.
I was sitting there when John sat down beside me.
"What's Orton's problem?" I asked him.
"He does this every time we are here and leave. He will get over it in a few days. I am the same way when I see family for a few days and then have to leave. " he said and I nodded.
I texted Eden and then fell asleep on the bus.
Eden POV
I got up the next morning… actually I didn't even sleep. I got to work early and had most everything down when Nick came in. He looked around and hugged me. I did think every time Randy left or I was reminded of my own future.
"It's going to be ok…" Nick said and hugged me.
"No, it's not… I really think I screwed up." I said and he looked at me.
"You just realized you loved him…" he said and I shook my head no as I wiped the tears off my cheeks.
"No, I just realized that I wanted to fight for him." I said and Nick hugged me tighter. I did realize for the first time that Randy was worth fighting for… I finally let myself realize that I did really want him around all the time.
