A/N: Sorry this took so long, I have been extremely busy. Here is chapter 10, and again, sorry it's late.

Chapter 10

Punk heard the bell ring and he lunged at John. He knocked him over and was on top of him. He raised his fist and then he was stopped in his tracks. He was staring into John's eyes, and he just couldn't go through with it. He couldn't actually hit John, even though he wanted to so badly. He wanted to release all of his anger and all of his frustration right then and there. And he knew he could release all of it if John was the one he hit.

The reaction from all of the fans was nothing short of confusion. They didn't know why Punk was stopped in his tracks and why John wasn't fighting back. But John quickly realized what was going on and snapped his eyes away from Punk's. He pushed Punk off of him. When Punk fell onto the mat, John stood up and backed into the turnbuckle. He watched Punk stand up and look deeply into John's eyes once again.

Their stare down was quickly over when John knew he had no choice but to go through with the match. He knows that Randy and Vince would punish him excessively if he refused to fight Punk and cause a quarrel with the WWE fans. John slowly walked towards Punk and grabbed him and threw him down. He got on top and started throwing right hands over and over. His heart broke when he saw the look on Punk's face. Betrayal. Confusion. Pain.

Punk quickly got into the match as well. He started throwing punches and kicks every chance he got. He decided he would just pretend that he isn't even wrestling John, the love of his life. He was wrestling John Cena, the WWE superstar and his opponent for this match.

The match continued to go on and about twenty minutes into the match, the fans knew that it was close to the end of the match. John had Punk right where he wanted him. He lifted him up for the AA and stopped. He couldn't do it. And before he had a chance to make the decision to go through with it or not, Punk slid down and picked him up and connected with the GTS. And reluctantly, Punk made the cover and got the three count. Punk's music blasted throughout the arena while he just sat there right next to John. He couldn't move. He knew that once he left the ring, he wouldn't be allowed to see John for who knows how long.

Punk squeezed his hand quickly and got up, got out of the ring, and headed for the ramp. He walked into the back and started heading into his locker room. That is until Vince stopped him and asked him to follow him. All Punk wanted to do was punch Vince right then and there, but the only thing that stopped him was he knew that John would be the one who had to pay for it.

Punk knew that earlier he was conflicted. He didn't know if he was going to forgive John or not. Or even continue to try and save him. But when he saw him face to face, and when he was about to punch him he knew that he would do absolutely anything for that man and there was nothing that John could do that would make him love him any less.

He continued to follow Vince until he saw that they were being led to Randy's dressing room. Vince opened the door and motioned Punk to enter the room. And reluctantly, he did. Punk stepped inside and looked around. There was no sign of anyone. And he knew that that was a good thing. He knew that if he saw Randy, he would probably kill him.

And as if on cue, Randy walked in seconds later. And Punk was about to attack him, that is until John entered the room right behind him. John stopped at the door, eyes wide when he saw Punk in there. Punk stopped too, and the two just looked into each others eyes. Randy saw this and did not like them being intimate. He slithered his way behind John and threw his arm around him, leading him to the couch in middle of the room. Punk was livid, he so badly wanted to hold John one more time. He would give anything.

Vince shut the door and locked it. "Punk? I have a proposition for you."

"I don't want to hear it. Unless it has to do with freeing John, then you can just shove that proposition up your ass." Punk tried to leave but Vince stood in front of the door.

"I'm sure you want to hear it. Please sit." Punk took that as an invitation. He sat down on the couch directly next to John. He grabbed his hand and squeezed it. John was ecstatic about it, and he laid his head on Punk's shoulder.

Randy was heaving. He did not like seeing this. He was about to make his way to them when Vince grabbed his shoulder and forced him to sit down on the other side of the room.

"What is your proposition?" Punk asked, squeezing John's hand even harder.

"I am willing to let John go." Punk and John both sat up more, very giddy. And across the room, the heard Randy scream and storm over to Vince.

"No! You can't free him." Randy was screaming in Vince's face.

"Sit down, Randy." Randy did as he was told, anger and annoyance written across his face.

"I will let John go, Punk. If you make the same deal that John did." The smile left Punk's face.

"What do you mean?" Punk asked, confused. Randy even looked just as confused.

"You need to sign a contract similar to John's. You will face an opponent at TLC. And if you win, I will rip up John's contract."

John jumped at the excitement that he was currently feeling. But when he looked at Punk, he was not as excited. There were not emotions on his face. "And if I lose?" Punk asked.

"If you lose, then both you and John will be under contract to me. I will own the both of you." Vince smiled, knowing that this could easily go his way. "You see, Triple H came to me with this idea after having a little chat with a certain someone who ensured that everything will happen according to plan."

Punk was confused. Shawn Michaels was supposed to be talking to Triple H. He was supposed to be convincing him to free John, not get Punk sucked it as well. "Who would my opponent be?" Punk gulped, actually considering this.

That is when Vince smiled. "The same man that beat John. You would be facing Daniel Bryan at TLC." Vince let out a laugh and that is when it all hit Punk. This was all apart of Shawn Michaels' plan. He came up with this so that John will be freed because he knew Daniel would let him win if all of that was on the line.

Punk was trying to hold back a smile, trying not to make it obvious. "Deal."

John sat up, not believing that Punk actually agreed to this. "Punk, you don't have to."

CM Punk just looked into John's eyes and whispered. "Trust me."

Vince was about to leave when he stopped and turned around, looking at Punk suspiciously. "Would you really risk it all? Just for John?"

"Yes I would. I love him. An emotion you are clearly not capable of experiencing." Punk shot at him.

Vince just smiled his usual devious smile. "You know that if you lose, you will never see John again?"

Punk couldn't help but be worried. But he trusted Daniel Bryan to go through with it. "I know." Punk held John's hand tight as Vince left the room. And the next thing he knew, Randy was grabbing him by the shirt and dragged him out of the dressing room. Without even trying to get back in because he knew it was useless, Punk went in search of Daniel Bryan and Shawn Michaels.
