A/n-I had to go to Texas for a week and another case of writer's block but my computer is now fixed and this should be the second or third to last chapter. Sorry it took forever. I'm also working on another piece of fiction.
Disclaimer-I don't own anything but Laura and Melanie. I wish I owned John Cena though. It's so sad I don't own him.
"Laura what's wrong?" Melanie asked shaking Laura fanatically.
"Dad he he he he's in the hoshoshospital." Laura said bawling.
Melanie put an arm around Laura. "I'm taking you home."
"But don't have you have to work?" Laura asks wiping the tears as more fell.
As they are leaving the club Melanie yells saying she's leaving early tonight. The bouncer just nods his head at his boss. They get into Laura's corvette and drive back to Laura's. The whole way all Laura cried and Melanie just said it's going to be all right. When they arrived at Laura's house they walked inside and just sat on the couch.
"Thanks for bringing me home. I'll call you tomorrow." Laura choked out between the tears. "No, I'm staying here. And don't even try to talk me out. You're my best friend and you helped me out and now it's my turn. So just shut your mouth."
"Bossy" Laura said just above a whisper.
"I learn from the best." Melanie said with a grin trying to lighten the mood.
Laura didn't even smile. She lied on the couch and cried herself to sleep in a couple of minutes. Melanie got up and looked at the clock it was only 8:30. They were taping Raw for when they got home thinking they wouldn't be home for hours. When they were only there for an hour. Melanie turned on the television and flipped to Raw. Just when she flipped it to Raw Laura's cell started ringing.
Quickly Melanie ran to Laura's not wanting it to wake up Laura. "Laura's cell."
Mean while at the arena. John and Randy had had their match and John had gotten hurt.
"How long you going to be out?" Randy asked.
John had broken his wrist during the match. "2 to 3 weeks."
"Damn"
"I know but you know what?"
"What?"
"I think I'm going to ask out Laura." John said cheerfully.
Randy gave him an evil stare. "You mean on a date?"
"No I mean I really like her and I want to just go with her. I don't know how to explain it. I feel more comfortable around her then anyone."
"No! I told you before not to get involve with her."
"What are you going to do about it?"
"She will believe me over you."
"Oh what you going to say I'm going to use her? Dude we aren't in high school anymore she can date who she wants to date."
"I promise her I wouldn't let anyone hurt her and that's what I'm doing. Plus I wouldn't sink that low." Randy said walking out the door with his cell phone in his pocket after he closed the door he whispered, "Or maybe I will." Randy dialed Laura's cell numbered.
"Laura's cell." Melanie said.
"Hey baby." Randy said smiling to himself.
"It's Melanie."
"I know that's why I said baby. I'm not dumb"
"Could have a fooled me."
"Ha very funny let me talk to Laura."
"Eh about that..."
"What's wrong?" Randy smiled quickly turn into a frown.
"Her dad's in the hospital. I'm staying over night with her,"
"Fuck I'm on the next flight there."
"What about work?"
"I'm not losing any television time so it will be alright hopefully if not I don't care if I get fired. Laura's more important then a job."
"Okay see you later."
"Bye Hun. Love you."
"Love you too." Randy walked into the locker room grabbed his bag.
"Dude what's wrong?" John asked.
"Nothing." Randy said leaving.
He stopped at Vince's office and got permission to be out until Monday. The next morning around 9 Randy knocked on the door. Laura opened it with her still in her pajamas. They kissed each other cheek and said hellos. Melanie was in the kitchen so Randy went in there.
"She must be bad off. I never see her stay in her pajamas this late even when she was sick. Have they got any information?"
"No I'm suspecting the call soon." Laura said walking into the kitchen just then her cell went off. She grabbed it off the counter.
"Hello."
"Laura Whitehead?"
"Yes"
"Your father passed away this morning." Laura almost fell but she gained her balance.
"Where is he?"
"In St. Theresa Hospital. He was coming down to see you when he got shot."
"Someone..." The guy voice almost broke down. "Yeah someone shot him right in the head. Don't worry we got the guy." By this time you could hear the guy crying along with Laura. "He was in surgery all last night so we didn't want you rushing down until he got out. I'm sorry about your father he was a good friend of mine. If there is anything I can do please tell me."
"No it's fine. I'll be there shortly." With that Laura hung up.
"Laura?" They asked in unison.
"He's dead. He was shot."
"What hospital?" Randy asked.
"St. Theresa."
"That's only 10 minutes away." Melanie asked confused knowing Laura's father was suppose to be in Washington D.C.
"He was coming down to surprise me. I guess we go to hospital and get funeral arrangements as soon as possible."
They drove to the hospital in silence not knowing what to say. When they got to the hospital they asked where he was and went straight to it. Laura ran straight to her father's bedside and grabbed his hand.
"Daddy. NO you can't be dead. YOU CAN'T BE DEAD!" Laura said running off. Randy started off after her but Melanie grabbed his hand.
"Give her a few minutes to herself." Randy nodded.
Laura got out her cell and called John.
John was at home thinking about what could have gotten Randy so shaken up. What if something was wrong with Laura? Just then his phone rang.
"Hello."
"Hi? John?"
John could tell she had been crying by the sound of the voice.
"Hey Laura"
"Can you come down?
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"My dad just died"
"Laura I'm so sorry is there anything I can do?"
"Not really but I thought maybe I could use some support."
"Yeah I'll be there tomorrow."
"Thanks a bunch."
"No problem."
Randy and Melanie came up and they went home and talked about the funeral plans and went to bed after watching some television and taking a swim. The next morning they all were eating breakfast when John knocked on the door.
"I'll get it." Laura said. Laura opened the door and kissed John's cheek. "Thanks for coming."
John blushed at the kissed. "Anything for you. How are you?"
"I'm doing okay I can't believe he's gone." John put his arm around Laura as they walked into the kitchen.
"Oh yeah I got you this." John said pulling out a turtle necklace.
Laura smiled. "Thanks."
"That's the first time she smiled since she heard the news." Melanie said. "Nice seeing you again John."
"You too. You guys got the funeral arrangements?"
"Yeah Friday at noon." Randy said.
"Who is going to be the pall bearers?"
"Shit I forgot about that." Laura said. "Randy do you mind?"
"Laura you shouldn't even have to ask."
"John?"
"Anything you want"
"Okay I'm going to make a few phone calls." Laura said walking out the door.
"Where's he going to be buried?" John asked.
"By her mother." Randy said.
"What were her parents' names?"
"Thought you said you knew about her."
"You know she doesn't talk with anyone about her family Randy so shut up." Melanie said slapping Randy's arm.
"Nicole and Montana."
"Cool names."
"Yeah" Laura came back in. "I got three of his friends to help out and all the arrangements taken cared of. John and Randy when do you have to go back to work?"
"Monday"
"2 or 3 weeks."
"Why they cutting you off for 3 weeks John?" Laura asked.
"I got hurt this week."
"Damn sorry I fell asleep the second I came home that night." As soon as she stopped talking the door rang.
Laura went to the door and when she opened she hugged Shawn and Rebecca.
"Where Cameron?"
"Grandparents" Shawn said.
"Oh cool."
"I heard about your dad. You okay?"
"Yeah." Laura said giving Shawn and Rebecca all the details. "You mind being a pall bearer Shawn?" Laura asked. "Anything for you." Shawn said.
They all walked into the living room and all said their hellos. They all talked for an hour had dinner.
"Melanie why don't you go back home and Randy go back with her. You guys can be alone."
"But..." Randy started.
"Look I'll be fine with John."
"Yeah and I'm right next door if you need something." Shawn said.
"Okay being alone with Melanie can't kill me." Randy said laughing.
"You sure about that?" Melanie said punching his arm.
"I think so anyway." Randy said sticking out his tongue.
"Kids kids..." Shawn said snickering.
"After you guys helped with everything with the funeral want to go for a swim and hang out?"
"It'll be like a slumber party!" Rebecca said clapping her hands.
"Oh thanks Laura get her all excited."Shawn saided rolling his eyes.
"Sounds great, you could really use some fun but we ought to be going."MEanie said walking towards the door with Randy's hand.
They all said their byes and left.
"John..." Laura said after closing the door and running into his arms crying.
