I really don't have much to say, I'm TIRED:) Hehe, anywho ENJOY...
Chapter 25
Randy starred at his girlfriend; she was shaking uncontrollably, tears threatening to fall. He had never seen her like this, it was hard to contain him, and he wanted to hurt the son of a bitch that made her this way. If only he could get his hands on him, then he'd be able to make her pain go away. He had never felt so many emotions and feelings all at one time, it was almost too much for him to stand.
"What did he say to you?" Randy asked taking a step closer to her, grabbing her arms as he pulled her tightly to him. "Ryan, what did he say to you?"
Randy was grabbing her so tight that the tears began to fall, "Randy you're hurting me…" She whispered as he instinctively let go over her arms.
"Oh baby, I'm sorry… I…" He rubbed her arms softly as he looked at her concerned, knowing that something that bastard said to her made her this way. "Tell me what he said…" Randy stated sitting her down on his bed.
"I cant…" She shook her head holding back the tears.
"Yes you can. You can tell me anything." He stated. "You just told me you kissed my best friend. It can't be any worse than that…" He tried to lighten the mood a bit, but failed.
"No, Randy I want to tell you I really do… but I can't…" She stated biting her lip. "I have to go…" She state grabbing her purse and walking out of his room.
"Rye…." He was cut off as the door shut with a loud banging sound and he let out a heavy sigh.
From the looks of it his world was falling down all around him. His girlfriend kissed his best friend while he was away with the girl that he got pregnant, and now his girlfriend's ex boyfriend and some mystery person or persons are stalking her and threatening her.
"My day couldn't get any worse…." He stated out loud, just as a knock came at the door. "I spoke too soon…" He mumbled getting off of his bed and walking over to the door.
He pulled it open coming face to face with his best friend, the Champ… John Cena. A nervous look placed itself on John's face as he eyed his best friend. He wasn't sure exactly what was going to happen, but he felt the want and need to punch his best friend in the face.
"By the look on your face, she told you already…" John stated rolling his neck from side to side, a nervous trait of his that Randy had picked up on in the OVW.
"Yeah…" Randy pursed his lips together and nodded.
"Look it was my fault, ok, this was not on her… I kissed her…" John stated as he looked at his best friend pleadingly.
"Why?" Randy asked looking at John his eyes narrowed, "Why would you kiss MY girlfriend?" He asked getting irritated. "Aren't you the one that said I had nothing to worry about, I'd be crazy to think that you'd do this to me, or that she would cheat on me…"
"It was an impulse…" John stated. "I was trying to comfort her and, I just couldn't help it. I really fucked up and I know this…" John stated leaning on the door frame. "I'm sorry; I don't want anything to jeopardize our friendship…"
"You were supposed to look after her, and take care of her John… not try and steal her behind my back…" Randy shook his head.
"Honestly, Randy I wasn't trying to steal her… I …" John was cut off when Randy put up his hand.
"I'm not blind John." Randy stated. "I've seen the way you look at her, any man would be crazy to not want her… hell I was crazy for the way I acted towards her…" He sighed. "It was stupid of me to go up there and leave her here in a vulnerable state, but right now… I just… I need to be by myself right now and evaluate the situation…" Randy stated.
"Randy I…" John was cut off when Randy shut the door in his face.
John stared at the closed door and felt a part of him hurting. He loved Randy like a brother and he never meant for this to happen, he impulsively kissed Ryan. He hated seeing her down, and he agreed with Randy any man would be crazy to not be attracted to her, but John had more self control than that. Or at least he thought he did. He had to talk to Ryan again; they had to settle things once and for all.
He walked to her father's room and knocked on the door waiting for an answer, the big man answered the door a scowl on his face as he looked down at the Champ.
"Ryan here?" He asked.
"She went to file her paperwork…" Dave answered about to close the door.
"By herself?!" John half yelled, half asked.
"Of course not…" Dave glared at him. "Do you think I'd let my daughter leave my sight by herself, I don't think so…" He glared at him.
John was about to responds when Dave shook his head, "Shawn and Paul took her because I have a interview in 5 minutes…" Dave added.
John simply nodded his head and left the large man to his interview. John walked down to the lobby and he was set on waiting for Ryan to come back with Paul and Shawn. He waited for over an hour; by this time he was ready to leave he saw her walking in with the two larger, older men, looking almost like bodyguards.
John approached them and Paul and Shawn nodded to her as they left her alone with John. She glanced at the older man and sighed.
"What do you want, John?" She asked.
"I think that we need to talk…" John stated.
"Do you?" She asked smirking.
"Yes, I do…" John stated.
Ryan crossed her arms over her chest and looked up at him, "Ok then lets talk…" She stated.
"Ryan I talked to Randy and I told him it was my fault, that I kissed you…" John stated.
"That doesn't change anything John. I still kissed you. I cheated on him with his best friend" She shook her head. "I should have just sucked it up and stayed with my dad. If we hadn't of been fighting none of this would have happened." She stated shaking her head.
"Ryan don't you see… I'm trying to help you two out here. You obviously care about each other a lot, now I don't want my feelings to jeopardize that…" John stated grabbing her by the shoulders and looking her in the eye.
"Your feelings?" Ryan was confused. When did John start having feelings towards her.
"Look that doesn't matter ok. What matters is that you and Randy talk this out, you need him right now more than anyone and I think it's the same for him…" John stated.
"When did you turn in to Dr. Phil?" Ryan asked raising an eyebrow at John.
"Just go talk to him, please…" John stated.
Ryan looked at John and simply nodded her head. She left John standing in the lobby as she headed up to Randy's room. She knew he probably wanted to be alone, but John was right, they needed to talk things out with one another, and see what they could do to salvage their relationship.
Walking up to his room she knocked, waiting patiently for him to answer. After a few moments of standing there the door opened and Randy walked away from the door letting her in. He grabbed something off of the table and slung his head back. Ryan noticed the bottle and sighed.
"What are you doing?" She asked him quietly.
"Drinking away my sorrows, what does it look like?" He asked glaring up at her.
"Randy, this is not the way you should be handling this…" She stated grabbing the bottle from him.
"Tell me Ryan, how should I be handling this?" He asked shaking his head.
"Like a man…" She stated holding up the bottle. "This… this is not going to help… trust me…" She glared down at him. "I watched my father almost give up, and lose his career over this…" She put the bottle in his face. "You're 25 years old Randy this is the last thing that you need to become…"
"Why not?" Randy asked getting up and looking down at her. "What else do I have, my life is going to hell why not my career too?" Randy asked harshly. "My girlfriend, the one girl that I thought was going to change my life, kisses my best friend. My best friend, a man that is like my brother, kisses my girlfriend. I have some random girl knocked up with my kid. I'm going to be a father… a father Ryan…"
Hearing him say that killed her, she looked down at the ground and tried to push back the feeling in the pit of her stomach. She knew what Adam was capable of and did not want to subject her family, or her friends to that.
"And to top it all of, you can't talk to me about whatever it is that this asshole said to you…" Randy added grabbing the bottle from her and taking a swig of the amber liquid that was inside.
"Randy…" She looked up at him with tears in her eyes. "Please don't do this…" She stated looking up at him.
The look on her face sobered the Legend Killer up. The look of sadness and regret in her eyes told her story, said that she was sorry. Randy shook his thoughts and she sighed heavily.
"I guess I'll just leave then, the last thing I want to do is fight with you…" She stated as she walked to the door. "I'm sorry Randy, I didn't mean for any of this to happen…" She stated softly as she left the room.
She walked down the hall to her dad's room and slid her card and opened the door to find her father resting on his bed. He heard the door close and motioned for her to come closer.
"What's wrong baby?" Dave asked without even bothering to open his eyes.
"How do you know if there is something wrong?" She asked.
"There are only two people in this world that can open and close a door so sadly… and one of them is no longer with us…" Dave stated, referring to her mother.
"Dad I screwed everything up…" She sighed sitting down on her bed.
Dave sat up and looked at his daughter; she had tears in her eyes and a stressed look on her face. Dave motioned for her to come sit by him; she got up and took a seat as he wrapped an arm around her.
"What happened?" He asked.
"John and I kissed. Adam threatened me. He told me something that I want to tell Randy because it would make everything so much easier… and I can't tell him because Adam is capable of anything. He's a psycho."
"But I thought that's what the restraining order was for?" Dave asked. Ryan figured he didn't hear her first statement and simply rolled her neck, a habit of her anxiety she had for years.
"Against me… yes… but not Angie and the girls, or you guys, or Randy… or John…" She stated with a sigh.
"Ryan, if this is something important you can't keep it from Randy, especially if you want things to work out between you two…don't worry about Angie and the girls, they are going to be on the road with us starting this weekend. So tell him this weekend." Dave stated.
"Until then?" She asked.
"Well you did kiss his best friend… so I'd just let him have his space right now…" Dave added with a shake of his head. "That's something easy enough for him to forgive you for… Randy's no saint..."
"Thanks dad…" She smiled and hugged him simply.
She got up and went to the door, "Where you going?"
"To apologize to John for being such a bitch lately…" She stated.
That night she apologized to John, and he of course accepted, the two talked for a while and he walked her back to her dad's room. The next morning they left early for a house show. Everything was a bit awkward between the three whenever they were around each other. Randy kept his distance from them when they weren't working and it was killing John and Ryan equally.
That Friday night they were in Kansas City, Angie and the girls had just flown in and were staying with Dave leaving Ryan in her own room. John had offered his room to her, but she declined not wanting anymore animosity in the way of the three of them.
She decided that she would tell him tonight. She primped herself in the mirror making sure she looked halfway decent for him. Her jeans were stonewash and lowrise, her top stopped right below her belly button showing off her well defined hips. She let her long brown hair rest freely as she picked up her key card and slid it in to her back pocket.
She found Randy's room and knocked on the door, he answered looking a bit out of it. She wasn't sure if he had just woken up or if he had been drinking again. He left the door wide open as she walked in behind him. He stumbled over to his couch and looked over at her.
"Come on in…" He slurred his words.
"You're drinking again?" She asked looking at the empty bottles around the room.
"Whatever gave you that idea?" Randy asked sarcastically.
"Randy, I came here to talk with you… not be antagonized…" She stated looking at him seriously.
"Talk… Hmmm… is that how it started, talking?" Randy smirked lazily over at her.
"You know I thought if I came here and told you what you've been dying to know that everything would be ok… but obviously with the way you're acting I was wrong…" She stated shaking her head.
"Tell me, tell me what?" Randy asked looking at her.
"What Adam said to me…" She stated walking towards the door.
Randy jumped off of the bed and he grabbed her by the arm, "Tell me…" He stated in a pleading tone.
"I'm not so sure I want to tell you now…" She glared at him.
"Ryan… please I need to know… does it have something to do with me, is that why you won't tell me?" Randy asked.
"Randy everything isn't always about you, ok?" She stated looking at him. "You sound just like John sometimes…" She sighed. "I didn't want Adam to do something stupid like go after my family or friends. Now that Angie and the girls are here, I feel safe enough to tell you this…" She stated looking up at him.
"What is it?" He asked, her saying John's name almost infuriated him, and to say that he was like him pushed him over the edge. "Are you pregnant with John's baby, hm? Did you do more than just kiss him?" Randy asked a menacing look on his face.
Ryan felt her anger boil as she glared at the man in front of her, she slapped him hard across the face. It was a mixture of guilt, anger, and sadness. Did he really think that she would do that to him, kissing John for a few seconds was horrible, and sleeping with him was downright trampy. To think that her boyfriend thought this of her just made her sadden more.
"How could you even say such a thing?" She asked seething.
Randy shook his head trying to regain his composure after the hard slap to the face. He grabbed his cheek and stared at her.
"You want to know what I have to tell you?" She asked.
"Yes I'd like to know what else you're keeping from me…" He growled.
"With that attitude you're just going to have to find out for yourself…good bye Randy…" She stated grabbing her arm out of his grasp and walking to the door.
"Ryan, wait…" Randy closed the door with his palm as he leaned against it. "Tell me…"
"You really want to know?" She asked him.
"Yes, I'd like to know, especially if you have to have your family safe before you tell me…" Randy stated, in a more sober state now.
"Randy…" She sighed looking up at him, trying to fight back all of her emotions.
"C'mon Ryan you can tell me anything… no secrets… remember…" He stated looking down at her.
Ryan looked at him and saw her father's face. After he went through rehab after his drinking promise, he had made her promise to always tell him everything; they would always be honest with one another, no matter what. And she had made the same commitment to Randy; she nodded her head slightly as she bit her lip.
"Randy…" She felt the tears forming her eyes. She pushed them back and sighed, this is the most she had cried in a long time. "It's not your baby…"
Please remember to R&R:)
