Betrayal

Rob was Livid. He couldn't talk nor do anything. The tag team idea was down the drain because of one man, Booker T. Rob didn't know what to do he was so angry. He went to Kurt Angle and was able to get his revenge. But that wasn't going to stop the pain radiating from his heart.

He trusted Booker and he was betrayed. It hurt him so much that he didn't hear the others trying to talk to him. Big Show walked in front of him.

"So little RVD got screwed. If you ever think you can beat me in a tag match think again." Big Show sneered. Rob looked up at him. Tears were starting to make their way into his eyes.

"Don't ever tell me this. I already know that Booker has no love for me. All he wants is to go back to stupid RAW!" Rob yelled and walked off.

Big Show looked at Charlie Haas who was currently laughing. "You realize that there is more between them than it looks." Charlie nodded.

"Yeah but it's still funny that I was able to screw Robbie V. over." Charlie laughed. Big Show looked mad.

"Are you going to realize that Rob was really hurt by that. This isn't any damn laughing matter. Booker really did a number on him." Big Show was furious. He might not like Rob, but he like Booker less. And to see tears in Rob's eyes bothered him deeply. Charlie stopped laugh realizing the point that Big Show was getting across. Egos needed to be dropped, for there was a really hurt man in their roster.

"I just hope that there is someone who can comfort him." Charlie spoke.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Rob was stunned by the reaction of the Big Show. He thought it was going to be like the RAW roster. When someone else emotionally hurt someone there usually they were left alone. Here they were evil. Rob could feel the tears building up as he walked into the empty locker room. He shut the door and slid down the wall. Crying hopelessly, Rob let the betrayal set in and takes it's course. He wanted to hide from the world.

He remembered when he and Booker considered dating. Booker was so uncomfortable with the idea that all they ever did was kiss once in a while. Rob was still hurting from Kane. He really loved Kane. And now Booker betrayed him.

"Well at least I know what Kane felt." Rob muttered amongst the tears.

"So this isn't the first time this has happened to you?" a voice spoke softly. Rob looked up shocked that there was another voice in the room. John Cena looked at him concerned. "Ya know I really don't feel comfortable around the homosexual world, but when a friend is in need I'm there for them." Cena opened his arms waiting for Rob to take the offer.

Rob fell into his arms sobbing. His cool calm attitude tore away with the pain he felt. He couldn't stop, seeking what little comfort and warmth that was offered. Cena just sat there allowing Rob to cry. He felt horrible that Booker would screw over his lover like that. Rob finally settled down a bit. Hiccups in his voice he looked up at Cena.

"Thank you. I really didn't think anyone liked me here." Rob hiccuped. Cena laughed.

"You'd be surprised at how many wanted you here. So you want to talk about it? Or am I going to figure a way to squeeze it out of you?" Cena joked while Rob was in his arms.

"I don't make you uncomfortable?" Rob whispered. Cena frowned at the implications.

"Like I said before, I will help a friend out no matter what their orientation may be. Is it that bad in RAW. Do they shun you there?" Cena was really concerned.

"Not really, at least until they found out that I was with Kane. Oh god, I still love him too." Rob started up the waterworks again, but refused to make any sound.

"I think they want you to be safe. Kane has lost it. I watch RAW so I know what is going on. But damn he hurt you bad, why do you still love him?" Cena asked.

"I hurt him. I betrayed him.... It was my fault." Rob began to sob.

"Hey I wasn't trying to make you cry. It's okay." Cena couldn't believe how fragile Rob has become. He admired the man for his strength, even after finding out he was gay.

"I hurt Kane and so Booker had to hurt me." Rob spoke with confidence. He was certain that it was his fault.

"That's not true. What you need to do is call Kane. I think it's time that you talk to him and explain what is going on. He may not accept and apology but it worth a try. Who knows he may want you back." He reasoned with Rob. Rob looked so hopeless. He wanted to mend the relationship with Rob and Kane. It bothered him so much that Kane meant so much to Rob. And the breakup that they experienced was painful for the both of them.

"I'm scared." Rob replied. Cena hugged him in response.

"I'm right here if you need it. But don't get any ideas, I'm not going to kiss you anything that gayish." Cena replied. Rob laughed at his attempt at humor.

"Okay." Rob grabbed Cena's cell phone. He dialed the number and waited.

"Remember you're not alone." Cena reminded him.

"Hi.... Kane it's me Rob.... Can I talk to you?"

TBC?....
