Chapter 14: Losing Everything You Have.
Breathing in and out, her body rose with emotion. Her chest was rising every single time, she felt the breath come through her lips. Her emerald eyes looked at him, her lashes lowered down to see her best friend still on the floor holding his head with one of his hands.
He lied there, with his forearm bent over his forehead with his hand massaging against his temple after he was struck right in the temple by his emotionally stricken best friend. The Idaho beauty, Torrie.
Just Breathe.
"Okay…oww" John mumbled softly, the pain etched in his head. He had just gained a nice headache to go with everything else, Cena is currently dealing with. Absolutely perfect.
"Worse than Sheamus, Nexus…..Big Show combined" John mumbled. What's that saying. Hell has no fury like a woman's scorn….ha no kidding!
His blue eyes opened, to see Torrie still standing there holding the same object. He started to sit up slightly, resting his back on Torrie's desk. He held a few of his fingers on his temple. After the blow that had collided with his head.
"Could you…please put that down, and not do that again?" John asked.
Torrie didn't say anything, looked like it was back to being silent.
John took in a few moments to breathe, and get his body back to normal. Shake the cobwebs out….once his vision came back to normal, John got back to his feet a little unsteady but he managed to stand up and regain his balance after being suddenly struck down.
Torrie eyed him before she turned on her heel. Still standing there in silence.
"Is she going to murder me?" John thought in his head. She's already struck him so hard in the temple that he fell down and was knocked out for a few moments. She had knocked him unconscious even if it was for a few seconds, still he was lying on the floor unconscious.
"Torrie,…"
She suddenly snapped around, still holding the hard object. "What!" she demanded. No smile. No little miss sunshine. She was angry! And John hadn't seen her so angry in the time he has known her, so he knew this wasn't good, definitely not for him.
He wasn't so sure now, if he had done the right thing because one he'll lose Torrie as a friend. She'll be gone from his life…and two…well she might kill him, so he'll lose his life too.
John stumbled back a step when Torrie snapped at him, demanding for an answer.
"I….well….I….wanted…to say….." John saw the object moving so he grabbed it before she could even move.
"Okay let's calm down, and we'll put this back where it came from" John said, he then looked around seeing the office was a mess.
"So Torrie, why did it come from?"
Torrie's lashes lowered, with her eyes narrowing in anger at him.
"We'll just put this here, so no one else gets hurt" John put it on the filing cabinet. Torrie's eyes watched him, as she stood there with her hands firmly on her slender hips.
"So…." John turned back, to see the death stare from Torrie. That stopped all his words.
"God if looks could kill, I'll be dead" John mumbled, with a nice rose on top of the grave it looked like, judging from the stare Torrie was giving him.
"Torrie, I'm sorry"
"For what? Being heartless and making up lies?" Torrie challenged.
John stared at her, still she didn't believe him.
"What are you sorry for? Huh?" Torrie asked getting close to John's face. "Making up lies, making up some kind of disgusting, fantasy of an affair" she said opposite to John's face.
John listened, shaking his head. He turned his head, lowering his gaze to the floor. He went on to say something, tried to say something but ended up with nothing
He scoffed softly thinking of what was happening. If he even though it would get worse….well it just did.
"Lies, lies and more lies…"
"No for telling you something I know that would hurt you, badly…and probably you attacking me…but I had no other choice. You deserved to know the truth"
Torrie glanced at him, her arms became folded. She scoffed letting out a laugh. "The truth? The truth is Cena. You don't like Nick, and for some reason you don't want me to be happy!"
"Of course I want you to be happy!" John said a little louder, again they were getting into an argument.
Torrie snapped her eyes at him. "Then why! Would you tell me something that is a pack of lies. It's bull shit! And you know it!"
John shook his head firmly, bracing himself to stay calm. "No it's not"
"Yes it is! Nick loves me! Okay we are going to get married and I'm going to be with him for the rest of my life!"
John let in a sharp breath, feeling his frame fill up with air. His eyes were almost struck with emotion but he was getting angry once again. He knew Nick was a cheat, he knew he didn't care for Torrie and also knew that Nick plans on marrying Torrie and then leaving her with absolutely nothing!
He turned away, with his hands meeting his forehead. His fingers digging almost into both sides of his temple, running them down his face. Emotion rising up in his face. He just didn't know what else he can do? Get Torrie proof? Get her evidence. He didn't have time!
"Okay you just can't handle that for some stupid reason! I love him! I'm going to be with him! There's nothing you can do to stop me!" Torrie said.
He then turned away walking away from John.
"You're jealous, for some reason!"
John turned back, with his eyes meeting hers. "Jealous? Is that what you think of me?" he asked hurt. Unknown to Torrie, they were in the same situation.
Torrie didn't say anything, she just walked away.
John turned back around, he walked up to Torrie's back. Spun her around by using her forearm. Torrie yelped out softly startled slightly. He didn't hurt her but she didn't see it coming so she was a little shaken up.
"Get off me" Torrie snapped in John's face.
John didn't let her go, Torrie tried to struggle but his grip was way to strong. So she had no choice but to listen to him.
"I said let go!" she demanded, struggling.
"Alright! Fine! Now you listen to me! You want to live with a cheating bastard you're whole life then fine! But I am not jealous! Okay! You want to give everything you have to that spineless! Heartless son of bitch! Then you fine you do that! But don't you dare! Come crying to me when he leaves you with absolutely nothing!" John shouted in Torrie's face. His bright blue eyes, no kindness, no love…they were iced cold.
Torrie lowered her head down, while John still had a grip on her arm. She looked back at him, the emotion was showing in her eyes. The water of tears were rising after his snap at her.
John let her go, and just took in a soft breath. He stepped back.
"Why are you doing this?" Torrie asked softly, in tears.
"What?" John muttered.
"Hurting me? I don't understand. Nick is all I got"
John closed his eyes as he kept his back to her. He then heard her feelings come pouring out. Her heart was breaking, and she had to stop herself from crying her heart out.
"Okay he's it, everything to me. Real, good everything. Without him I can't breathe John. Why are you doing this to me?" Torrie asked, softly. Trying to figure out why John would do this to her? She came up with nothing.
John didn't answer, he was the one that stood in silence.
"Did I do something to you? Are you angry at me? What?…" her tears were cracking up her sentences. She gulped down, a few soft sobs. "Why?"
John looked up at the ceiling, before his head lowered down. His eyes closing a few seconds after. "No" he mumbled almost in a whisper.
"Why! Why! Are you doing this! Why would you do this to me! What the hell have I even done!" she screamed in John's face, he turned his head away to the side but then turned back hearing her words being shouted in his face.
Torrie turned John to face him, "Then why?" she asked, searching in his eyes.
"Nick is having an affair Torrie, I saw him bright as day! Nothing you've done. Nothing I've done,. I'm… not jealous….I'm telling you the truth" John said calmly as he could, with his breathing increasing every second of that moment.
Torrie looked at him, she suddenly screamed. She held her hand up, and slapped John harshly across the face. The heel of her hand, went into John's jaw. "LIAR!" She screamed delivering the slap. John stumbled back, with the stinging pain rising in his cheek.
But that wasn't the only thing that was going to hurt him. John tripped over a wiring, and then went face first into Torrie's desk. John yelped out suddenly in pain. He was knocked off his feet and fell back down on the floor after once again, his head suffered another blow.
Torrie wrapped her hand around her mouth, hearing the impact of the collision. Her eyes widened with shock. "Oh god, John. I'm sorry" she softly spoke. She walked over, and saw John on the floor.
Torrie kneeled down by John's frame, coming beside his side. She was still angry, but she didn't mean for him to trip, and go face first on her desk.
John rolled onto his back from his side, his black t shirt lifted slightly showing the tip of his stomach. After he lifted up his arm. His abs shown while he laid on the floor, you could see the tip of his ribs showing physically, how much of a good shape he is in.
John lied there, his leg bent, so his right foot elevated on the floor. With his foot leaning on the floor. One of his arms draped across his midsection, and his other hand on his temple. He sat up, stood up without Torrie's help, and checked to see if he was bleeding or not. He touched the inside of his mouth, checking if there was any blood and his nose. Luckily there wasn't.
He kept his hand on his mouth and nose, just checking. Since he felt the collision of the pain in his face. John sat down on the chair, leaning his head back with his body rising quite rapidly after his body felt the after effects off the collision, not to mention the emotion he was already dealing with.
While Torrie had a look of regret rising in her face, she never meant for John to hit his face on her desk.
John closed his eyes while he touched his mouth and tip of nose to make sure he wasn't bleeding. He kept checking, after he felt his head had just been kicked in. the pain he felt, was sharp and painful. Somehow he knew, it wasn't over. Concept of the word pain, he'll be feeling that for a while. John knew that.
He lowered his head down. "Nick was right" John muttered, much to himself but Torrie heard him.
Torrie heard his soft mutter, her eyes lighten up after hearing his soft mutter. "what?" she turned back to face John.
He looked up at the Boise Belle. His blue eyes lightened slightly. Something had happened, he could see the look in Torrie's eyes. It wasn't anger, it was confusion. Maybe he had a chance?
John gazed at Torrie, wondering if he should take the risk once again? And Torrie wondered as she stared back. What if John was telling the truth. Would she be losing everything she has, would it all slip through her fingers….
Her eyes shown the anticipation, they glimmered in concern…
She waited on in fear, and anticipation. She wondered….
Was it true?
…...
Randy closed his eyes, before he fell back on the sofa. He had tried for the 20th time to get in contact with John, and left over 25 messages. And still John hadn't got back in contact with him.
Randy was now worried, he didn't know where John was? He didn't even his friend just left to clear his head, he didn't know what John was going to do. All Randy did know, is the state his best friend was in right now, well a shred of light over John's state of mind.
Randy started to tap his fingers on his knees trying to think what he should do. Either go out and look for John or just stay here, and hope he comes back. Randy also was wondering if he should ring up WWE Management, to tell them that it could be potentially, half of the main event next week has disappeared somewhere not having a clue where?.
He would get John probably in trouble but he was worried, concern for John.
He had no idea what Cena was going through. But his personal life is just the tip of the ice berg…whole thing with Torrie as well…he knew it was weighing John down big time. Orton has seen the look in John's face. Could see the hurt, the emotion most of all the pain that John was holding in, well it was starting to show. That concerned Randy.
He was concerned, he didn't know what else he could do? Right now.
Randy got out his phone, and started to dial a number.
"Hello"
Randy took in a deep breath, before he started to speak.
"Sorry to bother you, I need to speak to you…"
…...
"What did you just say?" Torrie asked.
John looked at her, "I….err…nothing" he dismissed.
Torrie stared at him, she didn't want or need John holding anything back right now. Since everything was out in the open, so why the hell not? Tell all to her.
"No come on, let's talk. You wanna talk so come on let's talk about it"
John bit his lip gently, before his sea blue eyes gazed at the wall then at Torrie.
"Come on, John you got everything else in the open, so come on….no more secrets. Come on" Torrie challenged, she wasn't prepared to what John was going to say at all.
John stared at her, he shrugged "Okay, fine. I confronted Nick and he said that you were too gullible, and stupid. You'll believe anything he says." Torrie glanced at him, and her arms became unfolded, the confidence was gone. Nick wouldn't really say that about her? Would he? Was the Nick she knew just a mask? Hiding his true colours….
"In so many words, he said I could tell her I'm president United States and she'll believe me"
Torrie stared at John, lost for words. Her anger, her confidence it was started to slowly fade away. As John was telling her what Nick really is doing? Where he is. That he doesn't even have a boxing career, training whatever Nick told her…it's all lies…web of lies…and now Torrie was starting to piece together the puzzle.
What hurt her the most, what made the tears rise in her eyes…it was all coming together? It was all adding up, she hated it!
"He hasn't got a boxing training thing Torrie, every thing he's told you. Is lies. You may not want to believe it but it is. Whenever he's not with you, he's with her" John explained not in a comfort way, just bluntly.
He just had no idea, that Torrie was starting to see the truth. He thought he had lost the battle and the war….
Torrie listened to John, her eyes closed gently. She felt the tears on her lashes. Luckily she had water proof marascara, or else she would look like a cirrus clown. Torrie touched underneath her eyes with her index finger, stopping the tears from falling down from her eyes. She flicked her hair away from her face, while trying her best to stop the tears.
John just sat there staring at a wall. He had no idea, Torrie was almost breaking down in tears. He had no idea that she was seconds away from falling down, crying her heart out. All the stars were fading away…she was worried….would she ever see them again? Someday…or was this it?
Her heart started to rapidly beat, as she started to recall all the times Nick had told her where he was, what he was doing? John's story was adding up….it was now all coming together….she was losing everything she has. Everything was slipping through her fingers, while she slipped into the darkness. Her happiness was fading, the light was dimming…the darkness once again was descending. Would it take over?
"You're working again tonight" she heard her own voice.
"Yeah babe, look I'll be back tomorrow. Love you okay"
"Just stay strong, keep up the good, hard work. So proud of you!" Torrie heard her own voice say. She actually praised him, actually felt proud! And it was all a lie! She almost felt like screaming out loud when she realised just how much of an idiot she has been.
How much of a pushover…she swore never again, would she let any man walk over her…and once again it had happened without her knowing.
Torrie actually felt sick. She couldn't believe it. It was all coming together in her mind. And she couldn't believe just how love struck, how truly blind she has been.
Her heart broke…..when the last piece of the puzzle fell silently into place.
It all true, every last part of it, every piece of it. How she knew? One memory came in her mind.
She remembered Nick saying he's at the gym, and would she like him to pick something up from the ice cream parlour, same place John had told her, he saw Nick and the other woman kiss.
It was starting to make sense, the truth was coming through the walls of her love struck sensation.
"I'm going to go, obviously me being here isn't going to help, just take care. I do care" John said, he walked to the door
"Oh god" she mumbled, breath increased rapidly when the realisation hit her. She fell down from the top of her world, and crashed down to the concrete….below.
John did stop for a moment but he just kept walking. Something inside his mind was telling him to leave. He lost, and he needed to deal with that. It hurt him badly, torn him apart….he had to come terms with it.
Torrie's eyes travelled over, watching John walk away. Her soft tiny voice, cried.
"Wait" you never know what you've got, until it's gone. Already gone? Was all her hopes and dreams, gone.
John stopped in his tracks, he stared at the door he was planning to walk through. He then took in a long breath in before he turned to face her.
Breathing in once more "What?" he asked.
Torrie stared at him. "John" she softly spoke.
John glanced at her, with his hand resting on his hip with a blank look across his face, he had given up trying to make her see. But something suddenly happened…..
Another look at her, His head turned to the side for a moment with confusion. He could see the look in her eyes, he could see the tears forming behind her emerald obs.
John continued to stare, his hand fell off his hip. His eyes rose with a wondering look in his eyes. He could see her breathing rapidly increased, all these signs pointed to one thing.
The truth.
She believed him. Torrie believed he was telling the truth.
But was is too late for their friendship? Has the storm tore right through to a point of no return for either John or Torrie.
Fairytale of friendship….has it come to an end? If so….how will they finally say goodbye to each other when the last chapter of the beautiful fairytale comes to an end.
...
End Of Chapter. Hope you enjoyed it! Thanks for all the lovely reviews! You guys are amazing! thank you so much. I love writing this story, so it's all happiness around. lol.
Okay I love Wade Barrett but last week on RAW, that was PURE EVIL! I felt so sorry for John Cena :( even the superstars are telling him to quit. I can't even imagine but WWE has planned next. I thought last week was the worst it can get, but surely I don't think it is.
Anyways, Until next time, darlings. bye bye!
Who did Randy speak too? Will John be there for Torrie now that she knows the truth?
Next time: Nick has a lot of explaining to do? he brings up something from Torrie's past that makes her question her friendship with John. Nick puts John in the crossfire to save himself.
