Chapter 7: Right By Your Side

John rushed over, immediately kneeling down by the unconscious blonde worried to death for the Boise Belle.

"Torrie, oh my…Tor," he called very concerned. His voice was filled with concern, his tone of voice softened while he looked at her.

"Ah, oh god" He hoped to get some kind of mutter or even movement but she just lied there. Not moving. She remained unresponsive.

Randy and Honey had ran back to the unconscious Torrie.

"Tor! Oh my god. Sweetie" Honey cried, Torrie was still lied face down with her hair covering her face. John gently touched Torrie's honey blonde locks, being careful.

"Torrie, sweetheart. Answer me. Torrie. It's John, say something" He encouraged but she just lied motionless with her fingers leaning on her blonde hair. She had slipped, and fell down head first onto the concrete.

"Is she okay?" Randy asked worried.

John stayed by Torrie's side, touching her soft blonde hair. He gently moved her locks, he bent down and felt the soft breath coming through her lips. She was still breathing, but she has been knocked unconscious.

"Torrie, oh my god!" Honey wrapped her hand around her mouth.

"How is she, is she okay? Do I need to call an ambulance?" Randy asked like 3 questions, without inhaling a breath.

John kept his eyes on the motionless Torrie, "I think she's okay, she's still breathing"

"What happened? Did she just collapse?" Honey asked.

"No I heard a noise, I think she slipped and fell face first" John spoke.

John gently put his hand on Torrie's shoulder, moving her slowly on her back.

"John, be careful. She may have suffered serious injuries" Randy guided.

John listened to him, but kept on holding Torrie before her back met the concrete. Her blonde hair swished to the other side, strewing slightly over her face. Her head tilted slightly, as the cut on her forehead, was now visible.

"Oh my god, her head" Honey cried.

John leaned closer to Torrie, he put his hand on her cheek. Her head moved because of John's hand moving "Torrie, Tor can you hear me?" he asked softly. His deep, soft voice stirred Torrie a little. He gently moved the blonde strands and locks from Torrie's face, and held her face gently. John breathed softly, in concern seeing Torrie in trouble.

Torrie's lashes fluttered open while she regained consciousness. Her vision was blurry but she could make out it was John that was kneeling in front of her "What happened?" she muttered.

"You slipped and fell. Are you alright?" John asked concerned for her.

Torrie's eyes fully opened, her vision had became normal. Her eyes looked at John. She could see the concern lighting up in his blue eyes. She could see he was worried and concerned for her.

Torrie kept staring at him, she lifted her hand slowly and put it on John's forearm wanting to hold onto to something.

She felt a pain in her head. Her eyes squinted shut and her shoulders jilted up slightly in pain from her fall. a yelp of pain, opened her lips. The bump she had taken, had hurt her badly.

"Torrie, it's okay" John could see she was in pain.

She jilted up her body once again, before her hand went on the side of her forehead in pain.

Torrie rose her hand to her head, she moved and saw the blood on her fingers. "My head" she cried softly, because of the pain.

"Is she alright?" Randy asked.

John put his arm around Torrie's back, protecting her. "I think she'll be fine, just shaken up" John spoke feeling Torrie shaking slightly. She had been shook up, because of the fall. all her nerves had been shot and shook up.

John gently helped her up, aiding Torrie. With his arms surrounding her frame in case she fell, he would catch her. "Torrie, it's okay. We better get her checked out at the hospital" John said.

Torrie suddenly ignored the shooting pain her head. "No, no hospitals"

"Tor, you need to get checked out. You have a concussion probably" Randy answered.

"No, no. no hospitals" Torrie muttered a little weaker. Her frame was swaying slightly.

"Torrie it's okay, it's not going to be like last time" Honey said wiping her tears.

John and Randy just looked on, in confusion. "Last time?" he mumbled. Randy looked at John before he shrugged not having a clue what that meant.

"No hospitals,. I'm fine. No doctors, nurses. I'm….o…k" Torrie uttered with her lashes lowering a few times. The pain was making Torrie, weaker and weaker. Like the pain could take her off her feet, and collapse.

"Torrie, you have blood on your head" Randy said.

"I'm fine" Torrie dismissed, wiping away the blood from her forehead.

"And you're swaying" Randy added noticing Torrie a little unsteady on her feet.

"I'm okay" Torrie spoke.

"You're not okay, you need to get checked out"

Torrie opened her eyes, when she felt John's gentle touch on her shoulder. "You'll stay with me?" her tiny scared voice spoke.

John lowered his head down, closing his eyes briefly. "Of course I'll stay"

Torrie looked at him, "Okay I think I need to" she nodded.

"Right, then.." John then caught Torrie when she fell forward, and fainted in his arms.

"Well she can't resist now" Randy said since Torrie just fainted in John's arms.

Torrie's limb head slid slowly off John's shoulder. While her blonde hair hung loosely. Her body had become weak, after the pain had sent Torrie back into a unconscious state. John kept her in his strong arms, he then put his arms underneath her legs, and lifted her up in his arms. Holding her like a bride.

He let Torrie's arm go around the back of his neck. While her hand hung down freely. Her head slightly titled back off John's shoulder.

Randy looked at John and a faint Torrie resting in John's arms. "Excluding everything else, you two look good together like that, so cute" John just groaned before he took Torrie back his car. He gently placed her into the front seat. Her head leaned on the headrest, while her hands resting it in her lap. She remained unconscious, while she was driven and rushed to the nearest hospital.

John opened the doors, carrying in a unconscious Torrie with Randy and Honey following behind. . "Help, we need help!" he called. The doctors and nurses immediately rushed to her aid.

"Put her on the bed" The doctor advised John.

John nodded, and gently placed Torrie on the hospital bed. Being careful with her head since she had taken a pretty nasty fall. The doctor tended to her, shining a light in Torrie's eyes, seeing if she had suffered any serious injuries.

"What happened?" a nurse asked.

"She slipped and fell, her head collided pretty badly with the concrete"

"Was she conscious?"

"No, but she woke up briefly but then fell unconscious again" John explained the details.

"Okay, the waiting room is down the hall"

John looked at Torrie lying helplessly on the bed, with a doctor and nurse around her. He hated to see it. He hated to see Torrie in any kind of pain. He really cared for her, and hoped that she would be okay. This made everything else look even more harder for him to deal with. He didn't want to lose such a good friend as Torrie.

Such a good hearted, spirit as a friend. He didn't lose any of it.

Seeing her lying on the bed, unconscious just tear his heart in half.

"Please look after her" John said. He took one more glance at Torrie before he left the room, walking to the waiting room. The emotions whirling in his body. He walked into the waiting room, sat down in a chair. Few seconds later, he let his head fall in his hands.

This is not how he thought the night would turn out at all. It did leave John wondering, was something…some high kind of power doing all it can…to stop the truth from being revealed.

While The nurses and doctors treated Torrie, John, Honey and Randy had to wait in the waiting room.

Honey was reading some magazines, keeping herself busy. Randy was counting tiles on the ceiling and John was watching the clock, and feeling the time just start slipping by. All sat in silence, the only sound was heard was the ticking on the clock.

Constant, tick, tock…noise was heard in the white walls room.

Honey was reading a article, she went to turn the page but Randy stopped her. She just looked at him. "You interested?" Randy nodded while he just read the same article as Honey.

"I'm going to get a drink," Honey announced. "Anyone want anything?"

"No you're okay sweetheart" Randy said.

John just shook his head staring at the wall. Honey nodded before she left the waiting room and made her way down the corridor.

Randy watched the door close, before his eyes turned to see John sitting there. "Hey" he touched John's shoulder.

Cena turned his eyes to him merely.

"You okay?"

John nodded his head. "Yeah just worried"

Randy nodded while he patted John on the back. "She'll be okay, It's Torrie. She's strong. She may not have been women's champion but she took loads of bumps before, she survived back surgery" Randy said.

John just looked at him, before he turned back to the wall. "I was this close Randy. I was going to tell her…and then as I got the words out…I heard a noise and then turned to see Torrie on the floor unconscious"

"You were going to tell her in the street?" Randy asked.

John nodded. "I couldn't take it anymore. I tried but…it's just eating me alive. I need to tell her the truth and now…I'm thinking….is there something really strong against me from telling Torrie the truth?" John asked.

"What do you mean?"

John looked to the floor, before he leaned back on the chair. "Well is there like something, I feel fate is against me now. Some high power somewhere not letting me tell the truth. Every single time I try something gets in the way"

"I don't know, all that's happened is Torrie accidentally falling. I don't know if you can blame that on fate" Randy spoke.

John just rubbed his temple, before he stood up and walked towards the wall. "What if it happens again?"

"What? Nick cheating?"

"No, this"

"Torrie tripping"

"No! what if the truth being revealed. Breaks her completely. I'll be the reason why she stumbles and falls. And can't get back up" John said.

"No you're not the reason, the two timing cheating moron is the reason" Randy spoke.

John's hands leaned on the wall, his head lowered down taking everything in. "No what if, it happens again"

"It won't. okay yes Torrie will get hurt, and she'll suffer but it won't be…like it was before. Her fading into nothing, becoming a shell it won't happen"

John kept his head down, not showing the emotion in his face. "If It did, I'll never forgive myself"

"John, you're not to blame here. Nick is. He's the one that is hurting Torrie. She may not know it yet but you're the one that's going to do all you can to stay by her side. Even if she pushes you away you'll still stay" Randy said.

John listened to Randy's words. "I don't know…seeing Torrie like that…on the floor…just brought back memories" he muttered. Orton came forwards and hugged John.

"I know, but that was a long time ago. It won't happen again" Randy assured him.

"What if she gets ill again? And her eating disorder comes back because of me?"

"It won't, okay Torrie is a lot stronger than she knows. And she won't be alone. She's got Honey, you and Me and a lot of other people" Randy assured.

John listened to his friend's words. It help him a lot. He cared so much for Torrie that he felt worried right now for her, and the future. Only god knew what the future is….he just hoped that his secret, wouldn't break Torrie to a point of no return. Leave her broken forever…he hoped to god she had enough strength to get back up.

"I'm just worried about her"

"I know you are,"

"Nothing will stop me from caring or worrying for her. Even if she hates me. If she calls me and needs me? I'll be there for her, like I've always been"

Randy nodded, while he grinned. "Exactly, and Torrie knows that"

Honey came back in, sipping her hot drink. "Have you guys rung Nick?"

John and Randy just turned to her, they stood there in silence. Lost for words.

"Emm…..no…." Randy paused.

"We didn't know his number"

"Okay I'll call him"

"Why?" Randy asked.

"Why? Because his fiancée has had a serious fall, and she's in hospital" Honey spoke.

"I don't think he'll care" Randy mumbled to himself but Honey heard him.

"What are you talking about?"

John could see the truth slipping so he had to come up with something to stop Honey from finding out. "Don't worry, Honey. We'll call him now" John pulled Randy out of the room leaving Honey confused as ever.

"What are you doing? And so many pinches" Randy moaned.

"What the hell are you doing?"

"What?"

"You almost told Honey, you moron!" John quietly snapped.

"I'm sorry, but I can't be in the same room. No same building as that asshole! I want to kick him in the skull, very, very hard" Randy growled.

"I know, Randy. I know but if Honey finds out then we are all screwed"

"If honey finds out what?" Honey asked coming from the door.

John and Randy just turned to her. "Nothing" they both said together.

Honey's eyes curiously looked at John and Randy, wondering which one was going to crack first. She knew something was odd, and she didn't understand why Nick hadn't been called sooner.

"Okay what is going on?"

"Nothing is going on, what would be going on" Randy chuckled nervously.

"Something is going on, Torrie is like my sister so if something involving her is going on I would like to know about it" Honey spoke.

"Nothing is going on, can you call Nick?" John quickly asked.

Honey just eyed John and Randy before she walked back into the waiting room.

"That was close" Randy breathed in a sign of relief.

John just looked at him before he slapped him on the shoulder. Randy made that look so obvious.

"You would be terrible in crime" Randy just mocked him before he slapped John back on the shoulder.

"Great, so Nick will be here"

John sighed feeling his anger rise "I guess so, if I move. Hold me back"

"You got it"

…...

The brunette lover of Nick Mitchell known as Darcy leaned on the ropes, in a sexy long dress. With her hair resting comfortably on her shoulders. Her smile was on her face while she watched on very impressed of her lover.

"Finally you're actually working" Darcy laughed.

"I know, you're a very sexy distraction" Nick said, with his hands gripping on the ropes either side of Darcy. She just laughed before they started to kiss passionately.

"I'm never going to get any training done" he lifted Darcy up, and kissed her in his arms.

His phone was buzzing for the fifteen time, and still he hadn't picked up. He turned still holding Darcy, he grabbed his phone just as the call was about to end.

"Hello"

"Nick! Where the hell are you! Do you know what a phone is! You use it!" Honey's voice screamed at him.

"Honey, what's up?" Nick spoke while he smirked watching Darcy entice him, swerving her hips on the ropes.

"It's Torrie, she's in hospital"

Nick suddenly turned away. "What?" he actually sounded concern. After all he did love Torrie. And felt something for her.

"She suffered a fall, quite a nasty one. She's in hospital right now getting checked out" Honey told him over the phone.

"Oh god…I'll be right there. Soon as I can" Nick ended the call, and suddenly got his stuff together, alerting Darcy.

"Baby where are you going?"

"It's Torrie. She's hospital. I have to go" Nick said quickly.

"What? Wait?" Darcy grabbed her red dress, sliding out of the ring to meet Nick.

"I'll be back" He kissed her, and left the brunette standing there alone.

She just folded her arms, not impressed at all.

…...

A doctor came into the waiting room, John, Randy and Honey stood up when the doctor came through the door.

"Is Torrie okay?"

"How is she?"

"Torrie, has suffered a concussion. She's okay. I've given her something for the pain. She hasn't got any injuries, luckily. I'm going to run a few more tests to make sure no internal damage has been done but I think she should be able to go home in a few hours" The doctor told the good news.

"Oh thank god!" Honey breathed out.

John managed a small smile, happy to hear Torrie was okay. But the smile faded when he saw Nick coming through the doors.

John just turned away, not able to make any contact.

"How is she?"

Randy just folded his arms, turning away while he and John talked among themselves.

"She's okay, the doctor just came in. she has a concussion but no further injuries. She's fine" Honey smiled.

Nick just breathed in a sense of relief.

"Like you even care" John mumbled with Randy, only they heard.

"Why are they here?" Nick pointed to John and Randy.

John just glared, while Randy's dark eyes darkened even more.

"We were all together, it was John that rushed her here" Honey said.

Nick nodded "I'm going to talk to a doctor. I'll be back" Nick went through the door, he just wanted to get away from John and Randy. Away from the tension.

A Nurse came in, and looked at John. "You're the guy that brought her in"

John just nodded his head.

"She's allowed visitors, would you like to see her?" the nurse asked.

John just nodded his head, he turned back towards Honey and Randy. They both nodded, saying it was fine. John left the room with the nurse, and she took him to a private room. He opened the door slowly, and silently.

The creak on the door was heard, he stepped in the silent room. His eyes travelled over the room. He heard a soft beep. His blue eyes then saw the sleeping beauty, Torrie lying down on the bed. The cut on her forehead had a white small band aid on it. She was still asleep from the pain relief she was given by the hospital.

John just walked closer to her bed, he saw her hands on her midsection. Her golden blonde locks resting on both her shoulders. He watched her chest slowly rise, breathing normally. She looked so cute and peaceful. The only sound he could hear, was the monitor that was monitoring her heartbeat after the sudden fall she had suffered.

John gently took her hand, stroking it before he grasped it with his own hand.

"Torrie, I'm so sorry….you'll be fine" He muttered softly, staying by her side.

The concern in his light blue eyes, while his body rose in emotion seeing the blonde sleeping in the bed. He hoped she'll wake up and be okay.

John lowered his head down, closing his eyes until he felt his hand twitch. He looked up to see Torrie move slightly, her lips parted and a soft mutter came through. "Love you…" John watched on as Torrie suddenly moved.

John just looked at her in the bed. Then he heard a name, John didn't want to hear. "Nick, Nick" she muttered softly with her eyes closed.

John just stayed by her side. He couldn't take how much Torrie was in love with Nick. The cheater didn't deserve such a kind hearted young woman. A ray of sunlight….she was like a breath of fresh air. So happy and in love…it tore John apart.

"I'm here, baby."

John heard a voice. He found himself pushed aside when he saw Nick come to Torrie's side. He gripped her swift, soft hand. John watched on, feeling a little unwanted. Like he didn't belong here in a way.

Nick kissed Torrie's head, before he turned back to John.

"I'm here now, you can go" he spoke.

John just looked at the sleeping Torrie, seeing Nick holding her hand. Cena didn't bother fighting, he just walked towards the door. He took one last glance of Torrie. Before he just closed the door leaving Nick alone with Torrie.

John just leaned his head back on the wall. Emotion was rising in his eyes. Seeing Torrie like that, brought painful memories back. It was a little too much to handle for John. He felt scared.

For once, he wasn't by Torrie's side. He couldn't help or be the one to save her. He wanted to help…but would she let him? Or push him away forever when the truth is finally revealed.

For the first time in his life. John didn't know what the future holds. He just hoped, that Torrie would still be there for him through it all. They'll still be friends part of each other's life through all life's decisions.
