A month had passed. Alex and John still had no communication whatsoever. She tried but he refused to talk to her. She cried every night. Sometimes she could hide from Randy and sometimes he would catch her. On the nights he did catch her he would stay up with her until she calmed down. Alex decided to start training to be a wrestler. She asked John to teach her but when she did his response was the same. He didn't say a word. Alex loved Randy but she missed John. She wanted her family back. Since John refused to train her she asked Melina. They had been working together for a month. Alex was learning very quickly and was pretty good. Alex and Melina had a training session in two hours. Melina was in her hotel room when there was a knock at her door. She answered it. She was shocked when she saw who standing there.

"John."

"Hi Melina." "How are you?"

"Fine."

"Good." "Can we talk please?"

"Sure come in." He went in. They sat on the couch.

"I'm sorry." "When I said those things I was hurt and I was angry." "I know you and my sister are friends." "I shouldn't have expected you to betray her and tell me."

"I know you were angry but how could you say that I didn't love you." Her eyes filled with tears. "You know I did."

"I know please don't cry, I'm sorry."

"I still love you."

"Good because I still love you."

"You do?"

"Yes." "I miss you."

"I miss you to."

"Will you take me back please?"

"Yes." They kissed and hugged. He picked her up. "Where are we going?" He kissed her.

"To make up for lost time." He said as they went into the bedroom. Afterward they were laying in bed.

"John you should talk to Alex."

"I can't."

"Why not?"

"I'm mad at her."

"You still love her don't you?"

"Of course I do she's my sister." "As long as she's with him I'm not talking to her."

"She misses you she cries all the time." "She wants to talk to you." "Come on where's the John I knew that constantly talked about his sister."

"He went away when he found out she was dating Orton." "I bet they've even- "I better not finish that sentence if I do I'm gonna kick his ass again."

"John she's in love with him."

"How can she be after everything he's done to me and our dad?

"There must some good in him."

"Ha."

"I've gotta go I'm training Alex today." She said getting up.

"Is she any good?"

"She's great." "She's definitely got a future."

"I always knew it." John said trying hard not to smile.

"I gotta go I love you."

"I love you to."

Alex and Melina got in the ring.

"John and I made up." Melina said happily.

"Good at least he's talking to one of us."

"He misses you."

"Did he say that?"

"No."

"I feel much better now."

"You should have seen his face when I told him how good you were doing training." "Even if he can't admit it I know he's proud of you."

"He hates me doesn't he?"

"No, no he loves you." "He did say that."

"I wish he would at least say two words to me." "I miss him so much." "I didn't mean to fall in love with Randy, I didn't." "It's not like I just woke up one day and said, I think I'll start dating Randy just to hurt John." She got tears in her eyes. "I never thought it would happened in a million years." "This is why I told Randy no more dates after our first one." "I knew something like this would happened."

"Aw Alex don't cry." "It's ok, it's alright." She hugged her.

"I have a feeling I'll have to choose between John and Randy and I don't want to." "This makes me so frustrated and angry."

"A good way to get that out is by training."

"Let's do it."

After the session was over and people started arriving at the arena Alex's cell phone rang. She was sitting alone and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Hi Alex."

"Hi dad."

"How are you doing?"

"Bad John still won't talk to me."

"I'm sorry."

"Yeah me to but try telling him that."

"Do you have any plans for Thanksgiving next month?"

"No."

"Do you wanna come home I'll cook."

"Is John coming?"

"No he's going to Melina's parents."

"Ok I'll come."

"Do you want to bring Randy with you?"

"You'd let me do that?"

"Of course."

"We'd love to come, thanks dad."

"You're welcome see you in a month." "I love you."

"I love you to dad."

Alex went to Randy's locker room.

"There you are." Randy said. She sat down next to him on the couch.

"I just got off the phone with my dad." "He invited us to have Thanksgiving dinner at his house."

"Us?" "He invited me?"

"Yeah." "Don't worry John's not gonna be there."

"Ok let's go."

A month later Alex and Randy pulled into her dad's driveway.

"I'm so nervous." Randy said.

"It's gonna be ok honey." "Just show my dad there's more to you then what he knows." "Once he sees that he'll love you just like me." "Ready?"

"Yeah." They went inside.

"Dad we're here."

"Alex there's been a slight change in plans." John Sr. said. They walked into the living room and saw John and Melina.

"What the hell are they doing here?" John said.

"I invited them before I knew you were coming."

"Melina give me the keys."

"No we're staying."

"I'm not staying."

"Excuse us." "John come here, now." They went into the other room. "Damn it John." She whispered. "Your dad went through a lot of trouble and we aren't leaving because Alex and Randy are here."

"Mel you don't understand I can't do this."

"You love me right?"

"Yeah."

"Then stay for me." He sighed.

"Ok."

They all sat down at the table. You could feel the tension. They were going around the table saying what they were thankful for. It was John's turn.

"I'm thankful for, uh, I can't do this I'm sorry." He looked at Alex. "How could bring him here." She looked at Randy.

"Randy I wanna leave now."

"Ok."

"No Alex you don't have to go." John Sr. said. "John apologize to Alex."

"No."

"I'm sorry dad." Alex said tearfully. Alex and Randy went back to the hotel.

The next morning when Randy woke up he noticed Alex's bags were packed.

"Alex?" She came out of the bathroom. She looked so sad.

"We need to talk Randy." "I miss my family I miss the way we used to be." "This isn't easy for me."

"What?"

"I'm- I'm breaking up with you." She said holding back tears.

"What Alex no, please, please don't do this."

"I'm sorry I really am." She started to cry. "This is best for all of us."

"Alex, I love you." He said doing his best not to cry.

"I love you to, that's why this hurts so much." She picked her bags and walked to the door. She had her hand on the knob.

"Alex." She turned around. Randy was crying. "Please baby, don't go please."

"Randy don't make this any harder for me." "I have to go now." She opened the door.

"Alex, no." She stepped through the door and closed it. When she went to her new room she collapsed on the bed and sobbed uncontrollably.
