John found himself in another high schools gym a couple of Tuesdays later. He had no clue what possessed him to go there after his own practice, but he was currently watching the girls volleyball game. It was the last game before the playoffs started which the girls team was fighting for. Well, they already made it to playoffs, they were just figuring out who they were going to play in the first round next week after the outcome of their game. Towson was currently leading the other school, Pikesville, by the smallest of margins in a game which saw both teams doing pretty well. John wouldn't be surprised if this ended in a tie breaker. He didn't know how a tie breaker worked in volleyball, but he had a feeling he was going to find out.

"When's this thing ending?" Chris, who John had to practically beg to join him, asked from next to him. He wasn't bored watching the game, but unlike John, he wasn't too interested either.

"I don't know," John shrugged as he turned his attention to his friend. It's a good game so stop complaining and watch it."

"I'm bored. I hope these chicks start fighting." John simply rolled his eyes as he continued. "I bet you if anyone gets into a fight, it's going to be Lita. Or Victoria. Those two always look like they're ready to fight. Especially the redhead. She definitely lives by that stereotype."

John rolled his eyes once again. "Shut up."

"I really do think she could take most of the other team on her own. And her and Victoria could take them all just them two."

"Whatever."

Chris was about to continue but that's when they heard a loud scream which was heard all over the gym and could possibly be heard in the surrounding areas in the school. Both teens looked back to where the game was occurring to see what the commotion was about.

"Ow!" Lita yelled in pain as she held her left ankle. She landed on it at a bad angle after she tried to go after the ball before it could hit the ground. "It hurts so much!"

"You okay Li?" Victoria asked when she was finally at her teammates side. She immediately regretted asking such a idiotic question when she received a scowl from her friend. "Okay. Stupid question."

"Yea, I'm just screaming for fun!"

"We need to get her to get some help for that ankle," Coach Runnels said to the other schools coach who was now beside Lita and the others who had gathered around. "It looked bad the way she landed and its swelling up already. It could be sprained instead of twisted."

"No!" Lita said as she continued holding her injured ankle. "If it's sprained, then that means I'm done. This is my senior year. This is my last chance."

"You could always fail and do this again next season," John joked after he and Chris decided to get a better look of what was going on since they weren't paying much attention due to Chris' whining when Lita got hurt.

"Shut it Cena," Lita glared at him. "Oh my God! This hurts really bad. Can I get some help now?!"

The other coach proceeded to tell Coach Runnels of the room behind the gym where a trainer could look at Lita's ankle.

"I'll take her," John volunteered. "I drove here so I can take her back to her house after she gets checked out."

"Alright," Coach Runnels nodded. "Sounds good."

"No. I'm not going with you. Your driving annoys me. Your driving will just hurt my ankle even more by all that bouncing your reckless driving is going to cause."

John rolled his eyes. "I drive perfectly fine." He smirked as he continued when he noticed someone else was nearby. "Calrito's here," he said gesturing towards the other teen. "I'm sure he would love to give you a ride since he did come to this game just for you."

"Fine," Lita finally agreed. There was no way she was going to go anywhere with Carlito. He gave her creepy vibes. She didn't like the way he looked at her. "You win."

John and Chris both helped Lita to the room in the back of the gym where someone would take a look at her ankle. Chris was glad this meant they would be leaving soon although he would have to go with John to Lita's house after she was done with the trainer.

"Well, it's a mild sprain," the trainer, who happened to be a med student, told Lita. "You're going to have to stay off of it as much as you can for the next couple of days. Use the acronym RICE. Rest your ankle as much as you can. Stay off of it as much as possible or use a crutches so you won't put your any weight on it. Ice your ankle for the next two or three days like ten minutes every other hour. Ice it until the swelling goes down. Compress it by keeping that," he gestured to the bandage wrapped around her ankle, "on for the next couple of days. And finally, elevation. Keep your ankle raised at a high level and it should help with the swelling."

"Great. What about for now?" Lita asked after he was done with the instructions she could care less about. She wanted something for the pain and she wanted it now.

"What do you mean?"

Lita had to fight the urge from rolling her eyes and calling him stupid. That wouldn't help with what she was trying to do. "It hurts really bad. Do you think you could, you know, give me something for the pain?"

"Take Motrin, Tylenol, or Advil. It should help with the pain. Which one do you want? We have all three."

"Maybe later but I need something that will work right away. You know like something strong. It hurts so much." She pouted at him, doing anything she could think of so he would give in and give her some pills because the pain was really getting to her.

The student looked like he was about to say no, but he looked around before he took something out his pocket. "I shouldn't be doing this, but here you go," he said as he handed her a pill.

"Just one?" Lita asked. "I could really use more."

"Okay," he said as he handed her another pill. "These are really strong so just take half at a time and then-"

"Oopsies," Lita said after she swallowed both of the pills. "All gone."

"I could get fired for this."

"Don't worry. It'll be our little secret," she winked at him.

Meanwhile, John and Chris were waiting for Lita outside of the room.

"She's been in there forever," Chris said as he looked down at his phone so he could see the time. "I wouldn't be surprised if everyone in there," he gestured inside the gym where the game was still taking place, "leaves before us."

John was about to say something but was interrupted by a loud redhead who finally joined the two. "Johnny!" She exclaimed as she made her way to the two with the med student following after. "He used to be the biggest pain ever, but not anymore! I don't want to kill him all the time now!"

"What the hell?" John asked the student who looked nervous like he was about to get caught after doing something he wasn't supposed to.

"She found some painkillers on the floor," he lied, "and took them. She just needs to sleep it off and will be fine. I need to go. I'm gonna go." With that said, he hurriedly left before anyone could say anything to him.

"Call me!" Lita called after him and started laughing.

"She's high off of pain meds," Chris said highly amused. "Now this is definitely worth coming here with you."

"I totally tricked him into giving me some. Boys are so stupid and easy to fool." She walked a little bit and stumbled and would have fell if if weren't for Chris catching her. "Oh Chris! You're here too! You used to annoy me a lot too! But I like you now. Sometimes. Not all the time. Just a little bit. You still annoy me like Johnny does!"

"Stop calling me that," John said before turning his attention to Chris. "We should probably get her in the car so we could get her home."

"Good idea," Chris nodded before the two began to do what John just said.

The three teens had been in the car for ten minutes now and had another few minutes to go before they got to Lita's house.

"I'm bored," Lita announced to the two in the front from the backseat. "Tell me a story."

"There once was a man in Nantucket," Chris began to say bit was interrupted by Lita groaning.

"No! Something that's actually funny." Neither of the other two said nothing and it was quiet for the next couple of minutes before she spoke up again.

"You wanna know a secret?" She asked John who she was staring at which he found pretty weird.

"Sure," John replied for the drivers seat. He was pretty surprised by what she revealed to him.

"I think you're really cute," she whispered and began giggling for no reason whatsoever. Her whisper wasn't low enough that the other two couldn't hear her, so they definitely heard what she just said.

"Damn it," Chris said after he got over what Lita just said. "She likes you like a friend now and thinks you're 'really cute'. You're gonna win the second part." He said it all as low as possible so Lita wouldn't be able to hear him, but John could.

John ignored him and was about to say something to Lita, but that was when she moved forward a bit and turned the music on louder.

"I love this!" She exclaimed before she started to sing, or maybe rap, along with the music.

"Take my phone and record this," John said to Chris who did as he was asked. "She's never going to believe she was rapping along with Eminem."

She began to rap along with 'Lose Yourself' by Eminem missing some of the words but surprisingly getting most of them correct. Chris wasn't regretting joining John at the game anymore. This was entertaining.

"Dude. Is she snoring?" John asked as he glanced through the rear-view mirror to see Lita fell asleep halfway through the rap.

"This is awesome," Chris laughed while recording for a little while longer before he stopped.

Another couple of minutes passed by until they finally arrived to Lita's house.

"Should we wake her up?" John asked Chris as the two looked in the backseat.

Chris shrugged. "Just carry her inside or something. Maybe she's still loopy. As entertaining as that was, I really don't want to go through that again."

"Why do I have to carry her?"

Chris smirked before he answered his friend. "Because I'm going to love to see Randy's reaction if he sees this."

"Dumbass," John muttered under his breath.

"I'm gonna go knock on the door and explain to her mom, dad, or whoever answers what happened," Chris said before he walked to the front door so he could do as he said.

John carefully took her in his arms so he wouldn't wake up because he knew she would probably jump to conclusions, not like what was going on, get pissed off, and start yelling for no reason which was something he was trying to avoid. Plus, he was trying hard not to drop her on the ground as well.

"You smell really good," he heard her mumble. He looked down and saw her eyes were still closed so she was still out of it and probably didn't even know who she was talking to. "You always smell good." The next words that came out of her mouth made him think even more that she was definitely talking to him. "Especially at the dance." She kept surprising him. First she told him he was 'really cute' and now she said he 'smelled really good'. Yea, the painkillers were definitely strong and got her.

John got into Lita's house and overheard Chris tell her mom and Randy what went down at the game and how she took one too many pills which messed her up and caused her to be knocked out at the moment.

John followed Randy upstairs to Lita's room as Chris answered the questions Lita's mom asked to the best of his abilities.

"Um thanks," Randy said when they were outside of Lita's room after she was settled down in her bed.

John waved it off. "It's not a big deal. Victoria was too busy playing in the game. Plus she went with the team on the bus so it wasn't like she could have done anything." He smirked before he continued. "And Carlito was the only other person who looked like he was going to volunteer bringing her here and she really didn't want to come with him."

"Yea, thanks for not letting that happen."

"I made a video of her all loopy," John said breaking the awkward moment of silence that fell after Randy's last statement. The two had finally made their way downstairs. Chris was already waiting in the car for John so they could leave. "She was rapping."

Randy arched a brow. "Really? I wanna see."

John nodded. "I'll text it to you, but just don't show her before I can. I wanna show her."

Randy shrugged. "Whatever. That's only fair."

"Here," John said handing his phone to Randy, "put your number in there." Randy took the phone and did as he was told before giving it back to John who then sent him the video. "All sent."

"Great. I can't wait to see her make a fool of herself."

"You'll enjoy it," John replied. "Gotta go," he said before he could join Chris in the car. "See ya tomorrow."

John dropped off Chris before he finally went home. He was utterly confused by all the interactions with both Orton twins that day. Sure he and Randy were getting along better now, only occasionally getting into their petty little arguments. But he thought it was weird how Randy didn't seem the slightest pissed to see Lita in his arms even though John was helping his sister.

And then going into Lita's room to see a picture of him and her from homecoming on her wall was really weird. There were other pictures that contained other friends and her family as well, but he was shocked to see a picture of him there too. As if he wasn't already surprised by what she said to him earlier even if it was on the influence of drugs. He felt like he was in the twilight zone.

John was finishing up his homework a couple of hours later when he received a call. He looked down at his phone and saw it was Lita who called which made him laugh. He had a god idea what this was about.

"Hey Eminem," he laughed as he answered the phone. "Maybe I should just call you Skittles since Eminem is taken already."

"Shut up," Lita scowled. "I don't appreciate you making a video of me without my knowledge. That is a crime. You invaded my privacy."

John rolled his eyes. "You were in my car so I didn't invade your privacy."

"You made a video of me without my knowledge," she repeated, "and that is a crime. I can have you arrested."

"Go ahead. Nothing's gonna happen. You were in my car and therefore you had no privacy."

"Actually, it's a crime in this state to record someone without their knowledge."

"I don't care"

"You know what? Just shut up and don't show anyone anything unless you want to die because that will happen."

"Sorry," John shook his head, "no can do. Bio is going to be so much fun tomorrow. You think Mr. Regal will let me show everyone on the screen?"

"I'm going to kill you if you show that to anyone. It was the drugs. They're a horrible influence on ones brain. Which makes me think you're doing them."

John rolled his eyes at her last statement. "Maybe you shouldn't have taken strong meds when Motrin could have done the job just as well."

"Shut up!" Lita was about to hang up, but she remembered to ask him something else. "Did I do or say anything else stupid?"

"What?"

"After I took the medicine. Did I do anything else stupid other than rapping with Eminem?"

John thought about it for a moment. He didn't know whether or not he wanted her to know what she said. Maybe he would just save the information for another time and the video was enough for now. "No."

"Are you sure?"

"Yea. You just were talking too much and too hyper. You told Chris you don't like him that much, just a little bit. That was funny."

"It's not that bad. It's not like he didn't already know how I felt about him. Both of you are annoying."

"Thanks," he muttered sarcastically. "How's your ankle?" He asked before she could hang up.

"Still hurts. Look, just remember, you show anyone the video and you'll be swimming with the fishes soon." He heard a dial tone soon after and began to laugh. He was going to have fun with this video at school tomorrow.

Thanks for reading. Thanks for the reviews. Special thanks to therealchamps, my time is now, kay, and Bajor10. Hope you liked the chapter. Tell me what you think, please and thanks. :)

I liked writing loopy Lita. That was fun. It was inspired by a scene in One Tree Hill.
