Anything that's worth having, is sure enough worth fighting for, quitting's out of the question. When it gets tough, gotta fight some more.
Randy turned the radio off; he recognised that song - it once made him happy. He imagined it be his and John's wedding song because they worth proof that their love for each other was worth it, they fought for it and they were still together. But now they weren't, and Randy had managed to fuck that up, why did he always do that? He rubbed his temples, he was supposed to go to this charity trust ball with Mike tonight but he really couldn't be arsed, he blew out a breath which disturbed his colleague Josh "You ok Rand?"
"I've been better,"
"You wanna go home? I'm sure I can take care of things for a while," Josh shrugged
"Would you?"
Josh smiled "Of course I would, now get out of here," he waved Randy off. Randy grinned, grabbed his jacket and ran out of the office, he raced passed a florist's and bought a big bunch of orchids, white, John's favourite and raced towards John's apartment block.
John was in the shower, waking up after spending the night with Dwayne, they had just lain together listening to the sound of the city. John wouldn't lie, he was happy in this current 'relationship' but he wanted it to go steady he knew that Dwayne wanted to get serious, but John just wasn't that ready yet. Randy had changed himself for John but he was quick to go back to being his old self, even after John supported him through everything. John turned the shower off and quickly dried himself and gave the shower screen a quick polish and the bath a swift wash when there was a loud knock on the door "Dwayne? Can you get that?"
"Sure," he replied with his deep Floridian twang, he opened the door to be met with Randy "How can I help you?" he leaned on the frame
Randy shuffled on his feet "Er does John Cena no longer live here?"
"Oh he's here, he's just in the bathroom," Dwayne pointed behind him, on hearing this Randy's heart dropped and he looked at Dwayne quite sadly, he held the flowers out "Make sure he gets these," he placed the flowers carefully in Dwayne's hand before turning away, before Dwayne could shut the door he held a foot out "Tell him," John entered the living room to see who was at the door. When he saw Randy he hid out of his view "Tell him, That these are from someone who does still care about him and you know even if he has moved on, uh, I wish him all the happiness in the world," and he smiled at Dwayne and left.
Randy got into the elevators and leaned against the wall without realising it, a few tears escaped his eyes and he placed his head in his hands. He had scoffed when Ted had told him John had found someone new, but now he saw the guy it made him even more remorseful, the thoughts in his head and the tears leaking from his eyes prevented him from hearing the ding from the elevators and he slumped to the floor
"Randy?" it was Ted who was with Cody holding shopping bags he placed the bags down in the lift and bent down so he was at eye level with his long-time friend "You saw Dwayne didn't you?" he had to ask even though he knew what the answer was. "I'm sorry Randy," Cody himself bent down
"I should have known he'd move on," Randy replied, his voice filled with sadness
"Randy, those pictures of you and that Mike bloke, they weren't the best way to let John know you missed him," Cody replied sympathetically
"How long?"
"Not very, it's as fresh as a daisy," Ted said "a week tops,"
Randy sighed "I love him, I love John Cena," Randy got the engagement ring out of his pocket and played with it "I keep it with me, to remind me of the good times," he smiled sarcastically
"Randy," Ted started with some firmness "You will have more good times,"
Randy looked at the two men "But it won't matter to me if I don't have him," and with that he picked himself up and walked out.
Cody frowned at Ted and pressed the button for there floor "You don't think he'll do anything stupid do you?"
"Nah, he has that Charity Trust Ball tonight, he wouldn't do anything that ridiculous," Ted heaved the shopping bag up "Beside's he'll face the wrath of Bret if he did,"
"Yeah, ok," Cody replied, still a bit uneasy. Randy's behaviour at the moment was erratic to say the least hoepfully he wouldn't do anything to drastic.
