Chapter 21: All We Have, Is Each Other.
Just no words, not a single word was spoke between either John Cena and Torrie Wilson. Not a single word, by either of them. After everything had been revealed, the secrets have unveiled. Now everything was out in the open….
The silence was present, between them both. The night rain was still falling but It seemed not to matter to the two friends, that share a very special bond. A beautiful bond, like a rose.
The Rose, It had started to blossom many years before and slowly it evolved into something wonderful. A forever friendship….a true friend that John and Torrie can rely in, that lies in each other.
Whatever happens, the storms, bad, dark, good, in betweens….they would always be there for each other. That's what a true friend is, someone that holds down and goes through all the times, taking the test of time and passing with flying colours.
A true friend is someone to lean, rely on. Someone to believe in. most of all, a true friend is an honest person. No secrets would lie in their friendship.
That same beautiful friendship, beauty like of a inside of rose…was now once again put to the test.
Due to John's sudden outburst, it had come to light that he's been keeping a deep secret from his friend, Torrie. Now that secret has been revealed. Only god knows what will be the outcome.
This truly has changed everything…..but is it for the better or the worst?
John continued to glance at Torrie, he really wanted her to say something. Surely the silence from her is not what he wanted or needed right now. John didn't want to tell Torrie, didn't want to add to the drama because quite frankly it's already been a very dramatic couple of days.
John Cena come to a crossroads, a devastating one….he had no choices left. He had to let his own secret out. There was no other choice, he couldn't think of anything else to do. After finding Torrie unconscious, he honestly hit breaking point.
There was no holding it together, because he just felt weak not knowing what to say. He felt lost not knowing exactly what to do?
He had one lifeline left….but that could have it's own consequences.
All John could do is stand there, and wait. Truly it was calm at the moment. But everyone knows, it's always calm before the storm.
That storm was about to hit.
…
"I know how you feel Torrie, because the same thing has happened to me!"
I know how you feel Torrie, because the same thing has happened to me"
The same sentence whirled around in her mind, like a spinning record. John's deep voice was etched in her mind right now. The words that revealed the secret and the truth of John's own marriage.
Torrie thought that John was a happily married man, she couldn't be happier for him. Sure she craved someone as lovely and dependable as John in her life but she was truly happy for him. Happy that he got it right, and he had someone special with him in this world….
She remembered John telling her a few days ago in Jaded….
"Yeah, yeah of course. Get home, relax…and go to beach with…Liz, walking along the sea…"
At that moment, her mind was circling all the words John had told her. And now…it's become clear, they were all just lies.
He didn't have a stable wonderful marriage, he didn't have a trust worthy loving wife.
It had been all made to sound like a fantasy. It was nothing but a lie. After everything that has happened over the past week, and now this?
Torrie wondered, what else will be thrown into the crossroads. Nothing is good light here….it was all dark.
John breathed in softly before he was the first to break the long awaiting silence.
"Torrie, please say something?"
Torrie let a few moments of silence pass before she responded still quite shocked. "I'm sorry what did you say?"
John gulped down the lump that built in his throat. "I'm not…with Liz anymore.."
Torrie glanced at John, while she felt her blonde locks swaying gently due to the night breeze. "I'm sorry what?" she repeated, still the shock hadn't settled completely in.
John lowered his eyes towards the pavement for a moment, before he felt his eyelashes lower to close. He took in a soft breath before he opened his eyes once again to face Torrie. "Me and Liz aren't together anymore, there is no marriage" he answered in a softer tone.
"You're not married anymore?" Torrie asked.
"Well technically I am, but going through a divorce" John told.
Torrie's eyelashes blinked in shock before she found the courage to answer. "I don't…." she then lowered her eyelashes down to the ring on his finger.
"You're wearing a ring"
John listened to Torrie, he lowered his eyes down bringing his hand up. Torrie watched as she stood a little away from him. She witnessed, John slid the ring off and let it fall to the ground.
"It's not real"
Torrie continued to glance at him before she ran her fingers through her blonde hair. Brushing it back, holding some of her locks between her fingers. She released them so they would land freely on her back.
She was shocked, completely taken off guard. No way this can't be happening. Completely taken by surprise.
"No, no, no" Torrie shook her head.
She started to walk around, clicking her heels at every step. "No, no, no, not you! Not you two! Not you guys. No this can't be true."
"Tor" he softly tried to chime in.
"No, look if this is a weird way of you trying to help and explain to me. Or something….a joke," she then shook her head, not understanding "I don't get it"
"There's no joke, no game. It's true. My marriage is over" John confessed softly.
Torrie put her fingers on her temple, taking it all in. "No, no this can't be true. No way. Not you and Liz, no that can't be real. You two had the perfect life, the wonderful marriage. You can't be over…"
John lowered his head to the ground, so the vision before his eyes was the concrete.
"No way, it can't be…I mean seriously…you two have been through everything together…no…I don't believe it." Torrie spoke.
"Not as perfect as you think" John told.
Torrie shook her head, "So you're….."
John nodded. "Uh huh"
"And you're in the middle of a…."
John nodded once again.
Torrie brushed back her golden blonde hair turning away, still standing in shock. She then turned back towards John. She stared at him for a few moments, studying his facial expression. She could see he had been seriously hurt, just like her.
Only difference is….john managed to hold it in and hide it from the outside world. But there's a saying, bottling things up in time, it will overspill and become much worse.
John rubbed the back of his neck, before he let his hand slowly slide from the back of his neck. John's head lowered to the side, while his beautiful blue eyes lied the emotion. The secret had been revealed, and now….the true feelings of hurt he felt and kept bottled in was started to rise.
John rose his head, with the emotion of pain lying behind his eyes. He continued to stand there, emotionally stricken by what had been revealed.
The strong walls, the strength he had built to hold it together was slowly crashing down, then Cena would be vulnerable to the heartbreaking he had endured.
Torrie ran her fingers softly through the right side of her head, feeling the softness in her blonde locks between her fingers. She looked at John, for a moment before she stepped closer. Walking closer to him.
John did take a step back thinking she was going to slap him, but she stood in front of him. Taking her arms up high, and wrapped them around the back of his neck.
"I'm so sorry John, god I can't believe it" Torrie's soft voice spoke.
John felt Torrie's arms around the back of his neck. He could feel how her hands linked together behind his neck. He felt the warmth from her embrace. John remained to stand there.
His arms didn't move around her, he felt vulnerable, upset. Emotional. He didn't want to be some weakened state. He was a strong proud man, Cena relied on his pride so he didn't want to be comforted. He didn't want to be weak, or afraid.
But at the same time, he tried to hold it together. One problem with that
He didn't feel so strong anymore.
"It's okay, I'm here. You don't have to be strong all time. You don't have to stand here alone" Torrie softly told, embracing him.
Her words of wisdom, made him break that wall. His hand slowly rose to the centre of her back, moments later. John let Torrie comfort and hold him through his darkest hour.
Torrie slowly let her arms slide, she moved away from his back. Standing in front of him, she saw those kind blue eyes full of emotion. Torrie put her hand on his forearm.
"With me, you don't have to be so strong" Torrie told.
John let a small smile slide on, lowering his head to the ground. A tear did fall from his eyes. He rose his head back up, and glanced at Torrie.
The roles were reversed, now Torrie was playing the caring devoted friend. She knew John needed someone, and she was going to be there for him. She'll stand beside him, even if she's completely shocked to her very core. She'll just find a way to stand by him, not desert him.
Not let John stand there on his own.
Torrie grabbed John's hand gently. "Come on" she led him down the steps of her driveway. They kept walking into the back of the garden.
Torrie sat down on the garden swing, and tugged John to sit down next to her.
"This isn't some counsellor session is it?" John gently chuckled.
"Sit down and we'll talk" Torrie patted the red padding next to her.
"I'm actually fine here" John proudly spoke.
"Oh will you stop being so mucho, and sit down"
"No"
"Because…."
"Because no"
Torrie shook her head folding her arms across her chest. "That's not a reason" she aimed her eyes at John.
"It is for me"
"Sit down, we can talk about your feelings"
"Let me think," John said, before he shook his head giving his answer. "No"
"Just sit down John, you obviously need to talk"
John dismissed "I'm perfectly fine here"
Torrie huffed out a breath glancing at John. "John Cena, either you sit down or I put you down, I don't care if we have to be here all night. Now sit down" Torrie ordered once more. John sighed looking up at the pitch black night sky.
He sat down on the swing and turned to Torrie. "I'm not lying down, I still have my pride and dignity"
Torrie rolled her eyes "John, you don't need to be so strong all the time"
"I know, I just don't like getting touch with my feelings. What's wrong with me? Oh don't open that door" John told.
Torrie stared at John, raising her eyebrow "You think comedy is going to get you out of this think again" she firmly folded her arms. John had no escape from this, he had told her the truth and now Cena was going to endure Torrie's protective nature.
"you wonder why some people believe you're not human, can't be broken. Unbreakable"
"That's because I can't be"
Torrie shook her head. "All the strength in the world, no one is this world is unbreakable"
John looked at Torrie, before he tried to use everything he could not to go through this. Sure he hasn't ever gone through this before and he'd like to keep it that way.
"I better go and see how Randy is doing? He may have rolled up a huge hotel bill" John quickly stood up, but Torrie grabbed his shirt and he found himself sitting back down again.
"Torrie, I really don't want to do this"
"You can't just bottle it up, John. You have to talk about it"
John shook his head, he didn't want to show his weakened side. He didn't want to feel the emotion rising in his muscular body. He don't want to get in touch with how he truly feels about this whole situation.
"No you were there for me, now I'm here for you" Torrie spoke.
"That's great," John took hold of Torrie's hand. "you're here for me" He held it, and softly patted her hand as he spoke. "But I really don't need to talk about this, but thank you I know you're there for me Tor"
Torrie lowered her eyelashes down, the next thing John heard was a very soft sob. "Well how can I be…a good friend….you're going with this on your own, I'm a bad friend" she emotionally told.
"Torrie, no you're not a bad person"
"Yes I am….I want you to open up, I want to stand by you…and you won't tell me anything…. I want to be there for you….I'm a bad friend" Torrie softly muttered.
"No you're not, it's not about you why I don't want too…" he then heard a soft cry from Torrie, her hand wrapped her around her mouth.
"Torrie, please don't cry. I'll tell you everything" John rubbed her shoulder, Torrie sniffled before her head lifted up.
John glanced at Torrie, seeing there was no trace of any tears. John's eyes perked up at the night sky, "Oh you're good" he directed his glance at Torrie.
Torrie lifted her head up, smiling on softly. "So what happened?" she wanted John to reveal, and open up to what had happened. Torrie knew she had to go to some drastic lengths. Being a true friend, sometimes you have to so you can stand by them.
John softly sighed before he started to speak to her. Saying words of a story he had never told to anyone. Randy knew the brief outline but no one knew what exactly happened. Only he and his soon to be ex wife knew.
"Well….we had just celebrated our first anniversary….everything was good, well that's what I thought anyways. I was on the road, and I decided to go home early. I didn't go on a few live events because I had organised this trip for me and her, anyways I was in the Nexus storyline, and I asked Vince if I could take a small vacation and he had agreed, so the plan was Nexus to attack me to write me out of the show for a few weeks." John explained.
"So everything was sorted with wwe, they were fine. I hadn't taken a break in well…9 years so they were more than happy to give me this vacation, everything was going exactly how I wanted it go. It was a perfect surprise, so I caught a flight home back to Tampa. Anyways….Ummm…..I was the one that got a surprise"
Torrie's eyelashes lowered down, John's words were stumbling around. She could hear his tone of voice beginning to crack, going softer every time another word is spoken.
"I opened the door, everything seemed the same. I put my stuff down and the house was empty, there was no noise. The silence filled the room. So I…err went upstairs" John spoke, his voice was breaking even more. Torrie could tell, he was on the brink of an emotional breakdown.
Torrie sat beside John, her heels drew back making a noise while the wind started to swing garden swing ever so slightly. She saw John take a gulp, as his eyes lowered to the ground. Torrie glanced at him, her heart pinged with sadness for her friend.
He had been going through this all ordeal on his own, she felt so sorry for him. Torrie saw his hand on top of his knee, she leaned her hand onto his so they would clasp together.
Without a single word, it shown John. Torrie's right beside him, he's not standing alone in the dark.
Torrie let a comfort warm grin come across her face, directed only for John. It brought a small grin onto his face, the faint dimples sunk in his cheeks. She could see the emotion reflecting in his blue eyes. She could tell, this was very hard for John but she knew that sometimes you need to let it all out, bottling things up inside can be just as dangerous.
The warm look on Torrie's face, gave the signal for John to continue. More importantly for him to go on with the story, with Torrie by his side. She'll be there to have and hold him the moment he needs it.
"I went upstairs and I heard her voice, so I knew she was there…." his words were cracking in emotion.
"It's okay, go on. I'm right here with you" Torrie told John.
"I opened the door…" John spoke but his words stopped, he couldn't get the words out. They weren't following.
"John, take your time" Torrie guided, sitting beside him.
"I opened the door, and….Ummm…err…." words were stumbling. He was truly broken in half. "She was…with someone else…" John said.
Torrie's lips slid apart, her heart sunk in sympathy. "Oh god" she muttered.
"She didn't even notice me standing by the door, I was standing there. Her husband….standing right there while she slept with someone else" John gently chuckled in disbelief, the first time he actually told the story. with tears rising in his eyes, he let out a soft chuckle. "I was like invisible...she didn't even notice me.."
"So I waited, until they finally noticed me. I made the guy leave and then had a argument with Liz. She didn't show much regret or remorse for what she had done.
I couldn't believe after everything we had been through, she just acted like she had made a minor mistake…and expected me to be okay with it"
"She acted like everything was normal, like she hadn't just slept with someone. She didn't betray me and throw our damn vows out the fucking window! She just acted like she had forgot something, like I would be fine, and we'll be happy and back to normal"
"I just couldn't believe it, it must have taken hours to sink in what she had done. What she had put me through, what she had done to me. I never ever thought she would ever betray and hurt me like that…"
"So what did you do?"
"Well I tried to forgive her, but it got worse. She said it was all my fault why she cheated because I wasn't around, I was a rubbish husband, a wonderful provider but I wasn't there to give her what she needs, even though I did everything I possibly could to make her happy. She didn't mind all the designer, and expensive things she got. She didn't mind living in a mansion…no she didn't mind any of that but to her, it was my fault that she betrayed me. She said I had it coming…because I wasn't around, so she didn't to find love and needs to feel satisfied"
Torrie's fingers circled around her lips, listening on In shock.
"She said I should be the one to feel guilty because I let her do it. I asked her out straight so you would do it all over again? She said yes, because she wanted to feel loved and wanted to have attention. I gave her everything I possibly could, I know I was hardly at home…but she knew this was me, she knew on the day of our wedding I would be away…..and she vowed to stay faithful to me"
"Then, it all came out. We had been through everything together. We took the world on even when we had nothing….. For all that to happen…was like my worst nightmare…and then she told me. She had fallen out of love with me a long time ago. Saying I wasn't the man she used to know. Saying I had become fame, power hungry and all I cared about was myself and the WWE.
"Saying I might as well be married to the job, since she never used to get any attention from me, but I did. I gave her everything I could. Sure I knew she was upset time to time but…for her to do what she did, was just horrible"
John closed his eyes, letting in a breath before he began to talk again. "She stayed with me to punish me, and if I hadn't seen her….she would be still doing it now. She would have left me, and tried to take everything away from me"
"Including WWE" John added.
"What?"
"Her plan was to disguise someone as a fan, for me to hit them so I would leave with guilt and then she'll leave me, so I would be left with nothing" John spoke, emotionally distraught.
The truth was finally revealed.
Torrie silently gasped, putting her hand around her mouth. Her eyes were almost filled with tears for John. He had been through something just as worse, as she has. Truly it shown her just how strong, John Cena truly is.
"Oh god John, that's terrible. I can't believe she would do something so cruel to you"
John closed his eyes, he stood up from the swing. Walking a few steps away. He could feel the emotion piercing like a bullet. Deeper, deeper. Nothing was going to stop it from destroying the walls he had kept up for so long.
He took in a few soft breaths, doing all he can to hold it together not to break down but nothing was working. Once he had told the story, he had heard his own words. He remembered the sudden heartbreak it felt, as soon as he saw the picture lie in his mind.
An arrow went through his chest. He remembered feeling the cruel, nasty words from the woman he loved with all his heart. The first love, hell the first woman he knew had to love. Before her, there was no other….
John remembered the happy flashes of memories over the years, tore and burnt to pieces. He remembered seeing the look in her eyes. Seeing nothing but coldness. She actually set out to destroy him….for what? Because he couldn't be around her all the time.
Because he had his own personal passion, his love for WWE cost him something else. Was the root of the horrific nightmare he had to go through.
He could see himself standing there in their living room, lost, confused, hurt because of her words and actions. He remembered the piercing pain buried in him, when he realised the woman he loved, she loved so much….could hate him that much.
John kept his back towards Torrie, he could feel it, most emotion he had ever felt in his life. He couldn't do a thing to stop it. His hand started to shake, tears were visible in his eyes. They had risen up, and seconds from falling.
John took a step, lowering his head down. He could feel the shake in his frame. The sting in his eyes, the water of tears reflecting through his eyes.
"Someone you thought….loved you so much….hated you that much…" John emotionally spoke loudly.
"I loved her so much, hell she was the first…. The first, before I knew how to love….knew what love was… and she hated me that much,"
Torrie slowly rose from the swing, while she stood there. She saw John's back to her. She felt the rain once again drip onto her hair, dripping from her ends of her locks.
John perked his head to the sky, before he let his head lower. He could feel the tears in his eyes. John rose his head still being proud. He was truly weakened after revealing what had happened, as a result. He had shown he can be broken.
John gasped silently, letting a small smile "Oh fuc…" he could feel the emotion of tears. John pressed his fingers into the corner of his eyes.
"Now you've done it, I look like a right idiot" John rubbed his face. Torrie walked behind him, putting her hand on his shoulder. He resisted it for a second, before he let Torrie to turn him around.
Once he was turned back to face Torrie. She rose her arms around him, and held him. "It's okay, John you don't have to be strong. Let it out"
John's grip suddenly tightened on Torrie's embrace, he latched onto her. His hand gripped onto her shoulder blade. He couldn't be strong, stand on his own…he needed someone.
He had been so strong, holding it together on his own for so long. He couldn't do it anymore.
"You're never alone, if you need me. You know I'll be there" Torrie whispered.
John's eyes closed, seconds later. His body started to shudder letting out a few cries. Torrie held onto him, closing her own eyes as they embraced in the night rain.
Once again being true to each other, being that friend in need.
That friend to be always be there, as the rains pours…even more than ever.
Torrie and John held onto each other through the night.
John drew away, Torrie's arms slide off lying beside her. Tears were still in his eyes, a single tear fell out of his eyes, onto his cheek in emotion. Torrie stroked his cheek, brushing away the tear, keeping a soft grin on her face to comfort, and make John feel better in any way she can.
He lowered his head down. "God, what have you done to me?" he chuckled pressing away the tears, trying to remain strong as he can.
"Needed to happen, do you feel better?"
"Inside, yeah, but I feel like a right idiot"
"It takes a real man to cry" Torrie smiled softly.
John gently chuckled before he let out a breath through his lips. "Trying to make me feel better, I think I have a smudge of pride left.."
Torrie put her hand on John's arm, letting her touch slide down his arm. "You don't have to be so strong all the time, It can make you feel hallow inside, being unbreakable"
"Better than a crying, broken down mess"
"You shown something called emotion, everyone breaks down. Even the strongest of all" Torrie spoke, she leaned her head on his chest.
John sighed softly, putting his arm around Torrie.
"Is that why you left?"
John looked at Torrie, "What's that?"
"When did you all this happen? I mean was it after Nick?" Torrie asked.
John stared at the night sky, he had forgotten to mention all this took place way before he even got to Houston. "No…"
"When did it all happen?"
John closed his eyes, mumuring his lips together slightly "August"
"August?" Torrie's head drew away from his embrace, she stepped away to look at John.
"Yeah, a little after Summerslam" John explained.
Torrie's eyelashes lowered, taking in the new information. Once again she was shocked. After everything that's happened, even before…she met John again in Houston….John's marriage had already fell apart.
"August? John that was two months ago! You never! You've kept this to yourself the whole time for 2 months! All of it" Torrie spoke, her blonde hair blew due to the rapid of the wind,
John nodded his head, "In some way, yeah…"
"You kept it all to yourself, you've been dealing with this alone. Even before we met again, before we saw each other at the gym? Before Nick…trailer trash barbie….oh god" Torrie turned her back.
"Torrie, I didn't….want…"
Torrie's eyes closed for a moment, before she turned back towards John. Her hair blew with the night wind while feeling the coldness of the rain on her facial features "Wait? ….you lied to me…"
"I didn't want to lie but you need to understand that…"
Torrie glanced at John, with her hair dripping wet "Wait…" John's lips closed as he let out a sigh after he was interrupted.
"If you didn't come back, would…you have told me or kept me in the dark?"
John stared at Torrie, once his head lowered to the ground. Torrie got her answer. She was not happy.
"So this whole time, you have dealing with all of that….and you lied and let me believe everything was fine"
"Well…" John tried to say, with the rain sliding down his face.
Torrie spun her heel, because of the rapid move of her body. Her blonde locks landed on her left shoulder. "How can be there for you John! If you shut me out like that!" her hair blew across her face, the weather had taken a turn.
Here comes the storm…..
"How can anyone help you! When you don't let them in! how the hell can I help you! If you won't let me" Torrie shouted in the night.
"You had so much stuff on your plate, okay. I didn't want to load that on top of you….it would have made things worse"
"You think lying to me, makes it any better?"
"Well…in some way, yeah…because you wouldn't have to be concerned for me"
"Concerned! John do you know why our friendship has survived so long! No secrets, no lies! Just pure honesty! Now it's like You don't trust me!"
"No it wasn't like that, Tor. Look it wasn't your problem. It was mine! And I didn't want you to be worried about me when you had your own problems and issues"
"Oh so it's okay for you to go there and beyond for me, it's okay for you to help me. When it comes to you, you need someone…you shut me out. You and damn fricking pride Cena!" Torrie shouted.
John rubbed his temple with his fingers. "No it wasn't like that….I just didn't want you to have something else to worry about…it wasn't your problem"
Torrie stared at John, her anger suddenly faded. She walked closer to John. "But you are my problem, you're my best friend John. And you should have told me"
"I didn't want you to see me like that, I'm the one that usually plays the one that keeps it together. Didn't want you to see me, weak, scared, lost and confused." John muttered.
Torrie walked closer to John, as they stood near the door way. "I wouldn't have thought of you any different, if I saw that. You'll still be the strongest, kindest guy I ever come to know and that will never change" Torrie spoke.
John felt a rush of anger, he slammed his hand on the wall. Something fell from the ceiling, a hook. Torrie and John's heads both looked up at the same time.
Before their eyes lowered down seeing right at the same time when a wind chime fell to the floor after John had knocked it down from the hook, due to a sudden burst of anger.
Torrie and John looked to the floor, seeing the sparkle wind chime lying on the porch.
Torrie's eyelashes flicked up at John. "You killed the wind chime"
"For what's it worth I didn't mean to do that, didn't know that would happen"
Torrie and John looked at one another, silence befell them once more. A sweet giggle broke out of Torrie's lips as she stood there laughing. John glanced at her as she continued to laugh on.
John stared at her wondering why she was laughing, the blonde just kept giggling breaking a laugh out of John. She kept on giggling with John. They stood in front of each other laughing, in the rain.
"God….what are we like?" Torrie brushed back her blonde hair as she giggled.
John shook his head, maybe they were seeing a funny side to this. A disbelief funny side to it.
"I'm sorry you're wife turned out to be a cheating, lying, devious slut John" Torrie leaned her head on his shoulder.
John moved his head to the side, "I'm sorry you're soon to be husband turned out to be a lying, heartless, evil cowardly bastard Tor" Torrie let a small smile spread across her face, leaning on his shoulder while his hand landed on her arm.
"I'll be there for you John, always" Torrie spoke truthfully, shining her pearly whites for the first time in a while.
"I'll be there for you too Tor" John peeked his own smile.
Torrie smiled slightly before they sat down on the porch step. Torrie ran her fingers softly through her front left of her head, feeling the silkness in her golden blonde hair "I wish you would have told me, I couldn't have helped you someway"
"You already have, more than you know darling...I just..."
"What?" softly she asked.
He softly let in a breath before he spoke. "I didn't want you to worry, sweetheart. You didn't need it"
"Going through all that all alone, god...I'm just so sorry..."
"Thanks,"
"You really are strong. Holding it together"
John chuckled softly "Holding it together?...I'm barely holding it together"
Torrie leaned her head on his shoulder, "Well I'm here now. I'm not going anywhere"
John grinned softly, "Good. I just didn't want you to be concerned..you had your own problems."
Torrie listened to John before she responded. "Just because I'm not in WWE anymore, doesn't mean I don't worry about you. Not a day don't go by that I don't think of you, hoping somewhere in the world, you're doing alright"
John looked at Torrie, before he softly smiled. "Thanks Tor"
"For driving you crazy?" Torrie giggled.
He took her hand into his, turning her face him. He gently pushed back her blonde locks from her shoulder, to her back, keeping his hand placed on her shoulder blade.
"Everything. You're amazing just the way you are"
Torrie looked at John, before she smiled. "In time, I'll be better"
"That's why I need you to hold on Tor, because we both need each other to hold on to. You let go and fall…then I'm by myself…and I can't go through this alone…"
"I tried, god help me. I did….but it's just too hard. We need to get through this together"
Torrie listened softly breathing, taking in all the words John was currently saying. She could feel his strength come into her, bringing her back to life. They had to hold on for each other. It's all they've got. One lifeline…each other.
"I felt like I failed, I felt like I couldn't save anything or anyone. My marriage, my life, you….I truly felt a failure. I don't want to feel like that. That's why I needed you to stay strong, and never give up" John spoke.
"What if..I'm not strong enough? What if I can't…." Torrie asked softly, scared of her future.
"You are, Tor. You just have to believe it. I believe you are….scares me to death but I believe you do can move on and continue on. Use that determination and strength in your heart to succeed"
Torrie looked at John before she let out a soft smile, to hide her tears. "I'd say you and me, make it together. Make it last. And never ever look back" Torrie told.
"Look after each other" John spoke with a small smile crossing his face.
Torrie nodded her head, clasping her hand into John's hand. "Never Give Up" they stood, voicing their words together.
This darkest hour, Torrie and John took each other through….stayed, stood by each other.
Because for right now, all Torrie and John had was each other.

Gotta stop it there, sorry guys if I continued we would have about a ten thousand chapter lol,. Hoped you all enjoyed the chapter, I loved this chapter so much.
Everything's out in the open now, what will happen next? The next chapter is a turning point in this story, but it's not the end. It's like the beginning of the end if that makes sense lol.
Please review, tell me what you think? :P
Thank You x
Chapter 22-Randy and John argue, Orton puts John on the spot over his feelings for Torrie? Why does John go beyond to help her? Why is he always been there?
Torrie reaches a decision for the sake for her, John and their friendship. What could that be? What will John's reaction be?
