Chapter 26

Randy's POV

I woke up the next morning and realized I was still laying on the floor with Donna. I smiled softly and I heard whimpers behind me. "Daddy.. don't leave me please." "Court, I'm right here." I sat up gently and turned behind me and Courtney was sleeping. I got slightly confused, she started to move her legs.

"Daddy! Please!" She started to yell in her sleep; I realized she was having a nightmare. I got up sat on the couch and ran my hand across her cheek. "Courtney wake up sweetie!" She just kept saying no. I shook her and she opened her eyes. I sighed in relief. "Are you okay?" She nodded softly. I looked at her steadily. "Are you sure?"

She nodded. "I'm fine."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

She sighed. "-Well I was in the hallway and you grabbed Donna's hand and left me. Shane was here with me and you said I was better off with him." "Ohh, Honey." I pulled her into a hug. "I would never ever think that in a million years. I love you too much to give you up, even though you got potato toes." I heard her giggle in my chest.

I let go. "Hey how about you help make breakfast, sound like a plan?" I tried to soften her up. It worked; she nodded. "Okay, sure." We walked carefully into the kitchen and started cooking some eggs, sausage and bacon. 30 minutes passed and Donna woke up, she walked into the kitchen. Courtney looked at her. "Good Morning Donna!"

Donna yawned. "Morning." I put breakfast on the table and we started eating. After we were finished, I cleaned up the dishes and cups. They ran downstairs probably to play the Xbox. I heard the door bell ring and I raced to get it. I opened the door and there stood the Cena family. Mrs. and Mr. Cena, Matt, Steve, Dan, and Sean.

I sighed. "Come on in guys, let's talk in the living room." We got in and I realized all the blankets were still there. I smiled apologetically. "Sorry after everything happened last night the girls were terrified to sleep by themselves."
Mrs. Cena sighed. "Awe, they must be keeping you busy." I nodded. "Yeah, like you wouldn't believe."

We all sat down and I explained to them all, the whole story from when John started drinking till now. Dan looked at me. "Well where is he?" I shrugged. "I don't know, after he punched me in the gut several times and started choking me; I threatened to call the cops and he finally left." Steve sighed. "Well, you got to call him and get him back here."

I heard footsteps come up from the basement and Donna and Courtney appeared. Donna seen everyone. "Nana, Papa!" She ran into their arms. I smiled, I haven't seen her this happy in a while. Everyone hugged her and kept apologizing. That's when an idea clicked in my head.

I looked at Donna. "Hey why don't you guys stay downstairs for awhile?" Mr. Cena shook his head. "No, she should stay here it will make John realize he's done wrong." Donna's eyes widened. "John is going to be here again?" We all nodded. She ran to the hallway. "Bye!" I looked at Courtney. "Go with her." She smirked. "You got it Viper."

I raised my eye brows. "Ahem.." She crossed her arms. "Hey if you can call me potato toes, then I can call you Viper." I just shook my head. "Alright whatever, go." She ran off and I pulled my cell phone out. "I'm going to call him and tell him that, Donna is sick." They all nodded in agreement.

I dialed his number and waited, finally on the 3rd ring he picked up. "Hello?"

"John, you need to come back to my house."

He sighed. "No way Randy-" I cut him off. "John! Donna is sick, I need your help!"

"Alright fine I'm on my way."

I shut my phone and looked at them. "Alright when he walks in, Dan and Steve you guys need to restrain him." They nodded and we waited. I heard the door knob turn and John came running in the living room. "Where's Don-" He stopped when he noticed everybody. He looked at me. "What's going on?"

Dan and Steve got up and restrained him and made him sit on the coffee table. I sighed. "John...You need.. You need help." John shook his head. "No I don't I'm fine Randy." Mrs. Cena started crying. "Oh, Johnny! Where did I go wrong?" John sighed. "Ma, come on don't cry!"

Mr. Cena sighed. "John, I know why you're acting like this. You see Alcoholism runs in you're blood, I'm sorry I never told you it, I dealt with it and so did your grandpa." John just stared at the floor letting it all sink in. He was almost in tears. "I'm an Alcoholic?" He said it like it was unbelievable.

I nodded. "Yeah, but John you can change that you just have to be willing." "How?" He cried out. I looked at him.

"There's a facility up in town and you would stay there for a couple months until you're completely sober." John seemed against this. "No way I'm not going to a fricken facility with a bunch of crazy people, I can do it on my own."

I sighed and paused. "John, you can't. We've already tried that and look where it got us, you need help- professional help." John just stared at the ground like he was studying it. Mrs. Cena sighed. "Johnny, come on don't
you want to get better for Donna?"

He nodded and I let a small smile out. "Alright then you need to go to Meadow brooks." He nodded and looked up at his mom. "Will you take me?" She smiled. "Of course, honey." I let a long breath; relieved.
This went better then I thought. He wiped his tears. "I guess I better get packing."

Donna's POV

I was teaching Courtney how to play this game on xbox, she was failing miserably at it. I heard foot steps upstairs, I looked at Courtney. "I'll be right back, keep trying." She nodded without taking her eyes off of the TV screen.
I walked up the stairs and opened the door. I noticed John come down from the up stairs with his bags in his hands.

Nana came over to me, "Hey Sweetie, how are you doing?" "Good, where's Daddy going?" She sighed and knelled down, "Donna, your Dad is going to be going away for a while." "WHAT! NO I DON'T WANT HIM TO LEAVE!" John turned around and just stared at me with tears in his eyes.

Randy's POV

I seen Donna at the end of the hallway and John by the front door. I just stood there watching them intently. I looked at John and he looked up at me with tears in his eyes: I nodded. John nodded back and he knelled down.

I looked back at Donna and Mrs. Cena was trying to calm her down because she was crying. I locked eye contact with Mrs. Cena and I motioned to John, she seen him and nodded. I watched her move out of the way and Donna looked at John.

Donna's POV

I seen John knelling down and I knew what that meant, I raced to him and impacted with his chest. He made a 'oof' sound. I wrapped my arms around his neck, and he wrapped around his around my waist. This moment made me forget about all the bad stuff he did, I remembered why I love him so much and what a great Dad he really is.

"Daddy, I don't want you to go."

I heard him sniffle, "Sorry Baby Girl... I have too."

I mocked his expression, "But why?"

He sighed, "You remember how I acted the last couple days?"

I nodded, "Yeah..."

"My behavior was un-excusable. I did not mean to hurt you the way I did. I love you so much and I'm going to get help." I looked up at him, "Why can't we just help you?"

"Because I need professional help. You know how when you told me you hurt your leg at foster care and you needed a 'Doctor' too look at it?" I nodded, "uh huh."

"That's kind of how my situation is."

"You're going to see a Doctor?" I questioned him. He chuckled a little, "Something like that."

"How long are you going to be gone for?"

He scratched the top of his head, "I'm not really sure but I'll be back soon I promise."

I noticed Nana and Papa come over to us, Papa looked at John, "Come on John, it's time."

"NOOOOOO!" I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck. John sighed, "Baby girl, I have to go."

I started crying, "NO! WHY CAN'T I GO WITH YOU?"

"This place isn't for children"

I was sobbing now, "B-but I promise I won't ever do any more pranks again! I'll be nice to Courtney, I'll listen to Randy, I wont even call Mike, Monkey-Boy anymore! Please Daddy let me go with you." I was still clinging to his neck.

I heard John sniffle, "Randy, can I get some help?" I heard foot-steps and then I felt Randy try to pry me off of John.

"NOO! Leave me alone, I don't want him to leave."

Randy sighed, "Come on Donna, he's got to leave he'll see you soon."

Randy finally got me off of him and held me tight in his arms.

John kissed my forehead, "I love you Baby Girl, stay out of trouble."

"I love you too Daddy, PLEASE DON'T GO!" I kept pleading but he didn't listen, he grabbed his bags and walked out
with Nana and Papa. I watched them get into the car. I finally got loose from Randy and raced outside. I heard
Randy call for me but I did not want to listen to him.

The car was pulling out of the driveway I chased it as far as I could. I noticed John looking out from the back window and I noticed tears rolling down his cheeks. I reached my hand out and screamed, "NOOOOOOO!" I watched the car until I couldn't see it anymore. I just fell to my knees and started crying.

A couple minutes passed and I noticed the ground getting farther away. I realized I was in Randy's arms. I started crying on his shoulder, "I want my Daddy!" I kept saying that over and over again.
