A month had passed. Riley's birthday was tomorrow. She was sitting around her house. There was a knock at the door. She answered it and was surprised to see her younger sister standing there.
"Emily, hi." Riley said.
"Hi."
"Come in." She went in they sat down on the couch. "What's in the bag?" She asked noticing the gift bag in her
"Your birthday present."
"Aw you didn't have to get me anything."
"Think nothing of it." "You're gonna love it." "Here open it." Riley took the bag and pulled out the tissue paper. Inside was a ticket to Raw tomorrow night in Los Angeles and a backstage pass.
"Wow." "Thank you."
"I hope you can go."
"I can work something out at work."
"Good." "You'll have a great time."
"How did you get these?"
"Someone at work had an emergency and couldn't use them." "So they gave them to me."
"Oh."
"Who knows maybe you'll see John Cena."
"Maybe."
"Maybe you could ask him for a birthday kiss."
"I don't think Nikki Bella would like that."
"Who cares?"
The next day Riley was at work. She was only staying at work for morning classes. A sub was taking her afternoon classes so she would have time to drive to Los Angeles and she was taking a personal day tomorrow. She was leaving at lunch period. She was walking down the hall. Her phone started to ring. She answered it quickly.
"Hello?" She said.
"Hi." John said. "I only have a minute." "Happy birthday." "I love you." "I'll give you your present next week." "I gotta go." "Bye."
"Bye."
Riley was walking by the teachers lounge. She was leaving. Ashley opened the door.
"Riley come in here." Ashley said.
"I'm leaving."
"Just for a minute."
"Ok." She went in. All the staff was there. There was a cake on the table. They all sang happy birthday to her. She blew out the candles. "Thank you all." "I really wish I could stay but I have a long drive ahead of me."
Riley and Ashley went out into the hall.
"Have a good time tonight." Ashley said.
"I will."
"Maybe if you see John Cena it'll take your mind off of that loser you're seeing."
"Ashley."
"Happy birthday."
"Thanks."
Ashley went back into the teachers lounge. Jesse came up to her.
"Ashley, do you have any pointers for winning Riley over?" He asked.
"You really like her don't you?"
"Yes I do."
Riley went home to change clothes real quick. She was in the bathroom. Suddenly she felt very sick and threw up. She'd been throwing up for the last two days.
Riley made to Los Angeles and checked into a hotel then went to the arena. It was a half hour before show time and they were already letting people inside. Riley met a few wrestlers and got pictures with them. She was walking down the hall and turned a corner. She stopped dead in her tracks when she saw John and Nikki kissing. She tried to move but she was frozen in her tracks. They broke the kiss. Nikki saw Riley.
"Hello." Nikki said. John saw Riley and couldn't believe it. "Are you lost?"
"I was looking for the bathroom."
"There's one at the other end of the arena."
"Thank you." She walked away.
Riley found an empty hallway and started to cry. A few minutes later she heard John's voice.
"Riley?" He said. "Riley?"
"What?" She said sniffling. He turned the corner and found her. They went into an empty room.
"Baby, why are you crying?"
"It just hurt to see you kissing her."
"I'm sorry."
"You love her more then me don't you?"
"Of course not." "I love you both the same." "Why didn't you tell me you were coming?"
"I wanted it to be a surprise." "I got the ticket and pass for my birthday."
"Riley I am sorry." "The last thing I would ever want to do is hurt you." "I love you."
"I love you too." They kissed.
"I can't come over tonight but next week it'll be just you and me, ok?"
"Ok."
"I have to go get ready for my match."
"Ok."
"Wait till you see your present." He kissed her. "I love you." "Happy birthday."
"I love you too." "Thanks."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Riley had a time at the show. She'd just walked through the door of her hotel room. She felt sick again and went to the bathroom to throw up again. As she was rinsing her mouth out she hoped she wasn't coming down with something.
