Memories of Past and Present Part 3
Rob saw RAW and was appalled by what Kane was set up to do. Lita! Of all people, Kane was supposedly interested in. Rob knew it was Vince's idea. He hated the fact that Kane was gay He hated even more that the monster was really into Rob Van Dam. And at the time, he was Rob's tag team partner.
One of the days, Rob could remember, Vince approached Rob and told him straight to the point, that Rob was to end the relationship with Kane or face getting fired. That really upset Rob. He couldn't stand the thought living with out Kane in his life. He wanted to cry so much after Vince told him this. He didn't know what to do.
In the end of it all, it was Kane who ended the relationship. It was Kane who beat him up, and it was Kane who forced Rob to find someone else that could love him and protect him. Rob laughed bitterly at that thought.
"Him Booker would never want to protect me. I was a piece of ass to him." Rob muttered under his breath. As Rob thought about it he knew that Booker wasn't the first to try to break him. It was the way Booker did it was what hurt him the most. In the time of ECW, there were two people he remembered. Two people that loved to find him as a punching bag after the show. Rob couldn't remember much, because he blocked it out of his memory. It was too painful to remember, but he couldn't remember why. And he couldn't figure why what Booker did to him felt like he was through it before.
Rob didn't realize that his thoughts were making him cry. Rob stood there in the middle of his locker room crying again. He couldn't figure why the wounds he had ran so deep. He remembered that he told Kane that if ECW was still around that he would have stayed in RAW, no matter what it took. Unfortunately, it wasn't because he was in love with Kane; it was because of a darker secret that he held.
"Well, what this? The whole fucking show crying? What wrong Rob Van Dam? Are you not happy that some of your ECW buddies are going to be here on Smackdown?" Heyman enter Rob's locker room. Heyman couldn't believe it. He had in all his life to remember Rob ever crying, except once, and there was no way in hell he was going to remember that incident. Heyman didn't mean to sound cruel, but some of Angle cronies were around and he wanted to make sure that they weren't going to them hell for anything.
"What it to you!" Rob cried. He hated Heyman all of his life and even more now. The Dudleyz were his friends and Heyman made the Dudleyz turn their backs to him and listen to Heyman all the time. Rob's sobbing intensified. Heyman looked out the locker room making sure that no one was around.
"Look Rob, I know I've been a bastard to you, but what is going on? Everybody knows that Booker did something to you. And you crying in the middle of the room I think is proof of that." Heyman spoke kindly, straight from his heart. When he found out that Rob was gay, Heyman wanted him for his own. But for now he was going to act like he was Rob's friend to get in closer to him.
"Go away Heyman! You are just hearing rumors Leave me alone. I don't care if you been acting like a bastard, because that's what you are, a BASTARD!" Rob yelled. Heyman was appalled by Rob's actions. He couldn't believe it.
"You are so going to pay for that VAN DAM!" Heyman stormed out the room. Rob sunk to the floor and sobbed his heart out. Now Kane was going to be really pissed, Heyman wanted him now. Rob could see the lust in that sick man's eyes.

Sandman wandered the hall of Smackdown. He never thought that he would be wrestling again, but here he was and going to premier shortly. Unfortunately, both Corino and Lynn were back too. He hated those two for so long. Rob did to.
"Oh shit, where's Rob staying at around here?" He mutters to himself. He kept walking the hall hoping to find signs of the young athletic man. Him and Rob were buddies, but after that phone call it seemed that Rob wasn't so sure anymore.
Cena had told him that Rob was being a little emotional to things at this moment. He remembered the last time that happened and it was because of Corino and Lynn that Rob left ECW. They always sought him out and beat him up. Rob only fought when he was in the ring, outside his was defenseless and against two strong guys too. Sandman needed to warn Rob of the situation.
As he kept walking he heard a loud sobbing for one of the locker rooms. He recognized the bitter sobbing quickly. It was Rob. So he ran to the locker room.
"Rob?" Sandman walked into the locker room, not knowing what to expect. Rob was in the corner, legs pulled up to his head and arms wrapped around his legs. He was sobbing fiercely.
"Hey Rob, it me Rob come on, I'm going to hurt you." Sandman was shocked. Obviously somebody did, he thought. Sandman gathered the courage and wrapped his arms around Rob. Rob started thrashing around.
"Kane Kane save me He's going to hurt me again" Rob screamed with his sobs. Sandman realized that Rob wasn't even responding to his voice. He had to think of something. What did he do when his daughter had a nightmare? Oh yeah, that might work, he thought. He started humming a soft and light tune while rocking the younger man.
Rob finally settled down and looked up at who held him. Rob thought it was going to be Cena. But it wasn't, it was Sandman. His old buddy of past. Embarrassment flooded over Rob. He squirmed out of Sandman's grasp.
"Sorry" Rob stuttered. He couldn't believe it. First he was crying in Sandman's arms clutching him like a child, then to top it off he was screaming for Kane to come save him, knowing that Kane wasn't even here.
"Hey I came to see you. It's all right. You didn't know it was me. So are you going to explain whom this Kane person is? Is he your boyfriend? I really hope so." Sandman asked. As he asked the boyfriend question Rob started to really blush. So he hit it right. "Well I guess with you blushing that means a big yes."
"Sort of it's a really long story." Rob explained while wiping the tears from his eyes.
"I'm always in the mood for long stories, especially when it you who do the telling." Sandman smiled. Rob's cell phone started ringing. Rob grabbed it quickly and looked at the caller ID, Kane.
"Hello Kaney?" Rob asked longing to hear his voice.
"Rob, hey I got some news for you...." Kane spoke on the other line.
