"Looking back at sunsets on the Eastside
We lost track of the time
Dreams aren't what they used to be
Some things sat by so carelessly
Smile like you mean it
Smile like you mean it"

-Smile like you mean it, The Killers.

Riley walked into Madison Square Garden and grinned at Madison. The excitment in the air was electrifying. They walked past security and after asking for directions walked towards Randy's locker room. Seeing him in the hall Riley slid up behind him and hugged him from behind causing him to stop his conversation with HBK himself. Randy turned around and hugged Riley to him, knowing what was coming, not wanting to let go. After a quick kiss on her forehead he turned her towards Shawn and introduced them.

"Ri, this is Shawn. Shawn, my girlfriend Riley" Randy said, smiling at how Riley's face lit up. Looking behind him, he saw Madison. Reaching over he gave her a kiss on the cheek. "Oh and this is Madison" he said smiling.

"Nice to meet you" Riley said, as did Madison, and the two girls exchanged looks. Shawn said goodbye to them, and Randy walked with the two girls down the hall, towards catering, his arm around Riley's waist. Madison's phone rang, and they stopped walking while she took the call. Randy pulled his girlfriend to him, leaned down and kissed her. There was a neediness in Randy's kiss, almost as though something was wrong. He held her as if she was going to vanish into thin air. Riley linked her arms around his neck, not knowing what was wrong, and why he was acting like this, just knowing that he needed to know that she was there. Randy pulled Riley as close to him as she could get. His hands gripped her waist with such pressure he was sure it was going to leave a mark. He knew very well that she wasn't going to stay once she heard about the plan. He knew she was going to be hurt. He just hoped that he would be able to function as aman, a person, a humanwhen she was gone.

John stopped suddenly in the hallway seeing the two. He knew then that he had made a huge mistake. The pain he and his family had endured thanks to Riley leaving them in shambles was nothing compared to what Riley was about to face. She loved Randy, and she loved him. And she was about to lose that. Or rather, they were about to lose her.

Madison ended her call with Jackie and turned to the couple to tell Riley that her parents knew where she was. Pausing as she looked at the couple, she groaned.

"Not this again" She said, slightly smiling.Glancing up she saw John.

"Hey John" Madison said smiling at him

"Hey." He said, and tapped Randy on the shoulder. "Let her breathe please"

"Hey John! I didn't know you were gonna be here!" Riley said, hugging him tight.

"Hey Riley" John said, holding her close to him, looking at Randy over her head. Randy rubbed his hand over his face and looked at Madison.

"I think John wants to talk to Riley. Lets go eat something" He said, gesturing for her to follow him.

Madison looked at Riley. Then John, and then Randy. Something was wrong. Dead wrong.

"No, I need to talk to Riley" Madison said, causing Riley to look at her.

"Who died?" Riley asked looking at her friend

"You're about to"

"Oh…" Riley said, figuring out what she meant. "He ratted me out?" Riley asked, referring to her teacher, shutting her eyes when Madison nodded.

"I should have known…" Riley said

"Look Ri, sorry but I'm in deep shit as well apparently. My parents are pissed at me for leaving with you" Madison said regreatfully.

"Oh my god. I'm so sorry Maddie"

"It's fine, they need to let go already. Call me later ok?" Madison hugged her friend and left, with a quick goodbye.

She didn't want to leave. She could tell just by looking at the guys that they were about to kill Riley. But she had her own ass to save.

Randy sighed. This was the end, he knew it. He looked at John, shook his head and kissed Riley on cheek.

"I'll see you later, ok baby?" Randy said, knowing perfectly well he wouldn't. He stood helpless as he watched her walk away with John

Riley followed John into his locker room, and sat when he gestured towards the bench.

"Ok, what?" Riley asked, leaning back. She adjusted her skirt so that it fell properly.

"I'm sorry. You have to know that. I'm sorry" John began. Riley sat up straight.

"What are you sorry for?" She asked warily, pressing silence on her phone as it rang.

"Tell me you hate me" John said. If he heard that she hated him, then maybe he could do this. Maybe it would be easier.

"What? John, no" Riley said, completely confused

"Tell me you hate me! If you love me, if any part of you feels any love for me, please tell me you hate me!" John pleaded with her. Just looking at her made him recall memories. Her trying to catch him when she was five, her learning to play baseball, the look on her face when he left for college, the pain he felt, when he learned she had left.

"John, you aren't making any sense!" Riley protested

"Please Riley!"

"John, I can't tell you I hate you!"

"God Riley!" John said frustrated, knowing fully well he didn't deserve her trying to make this easier on him

"What the hell are you doing? Why are you acting like a maniac?" She questioned him

"I fucked you over" John said, looking her in the eyes. He watched her eyes change from being loving and concerned to confused and worried.

"What?" Riley asked, standing up now.

"It was all a plan. Everything. I came back into your life, with the intent of screwing you over, with the intent of hurting you. It was all a plan" He said, giving up all hope of keeping her, once he saw the pain in her eyes, written all over her face

"Jonathan…" Riley said, barley audible

"I wanted to hurt you the way you hurt me, and my family. I wanted to tear you to pieces." John continued, knowing he had to

"Randy" Riley whispered, covering her mouth

"Was in on it. He owed me some favors. God Bella, but he…" John shut his mouth abruptly as Riley started screaming

"Don't fucking call me that Jonathan! Don't you even dare! God, I'm such a fucking idiot. You didn't give a damn then; you don't give a damn now!" Riley screamed, tears streaming down her face. "You get your wish Jonathan! I hate you! I fucking hate you!"

Randy kneeled on the floor outside the locker room, hearing everything. He rocked back and forth silently, not looking up as people walked past. A pair of high-heeled feet stopped in front of him.

"Randy?" Stephanie asked. He silently shook his head, and Stephanie just stood there listening. Her mouth dropped open as she heard Riley screaming. She jumped back from the door as it opened, and she covered her mouth when she saw how her friend looked. Riley's hair was a mess. Her makeup was running,her eyes red.

Riley paused, looking at Stephanie. Shaking her head, she went to move out of the doorway, to move towards the exit.

"Riley" Randy said, his voice husky

"Why?" Riley asked him, stopping and turning half-way. She ignored the fact that she was in a hallway with the legends of the WWE. Years ago, months ago, days ago, hell even minutes ago, she would have been the happiest person in the world to be in a hallway with The Undertaker, Shawn Michaels, Kurt Angle, and HHH. Now, nothing could make her happy.

"I'm sorry" Randy said, standing up and reaching his hand out towards her. Riley looked at his hand, then at him.

"Sorry isn't going to work Randy." Riley said turning on her heel and continuing on the path towards the exit.

"Riley, please" Randy begged, following her towards the exit. He needed her to know how he felt, for her to know how much he needed her.

"No" Riley said, speeding up her pace. She flinched as she felt Randy grasp her arm. She pulled her arm from his grasp quickly. Turning on her heel, once again she stopped. She saw John standing right behind Randy, Stephanie almost in tears.

"Don't ever fucking touch me again" She said. "Don't touch me, don't call me, and don't try to find me. Just let me live my life. Leave me alone. You made your mark on my life. All two of you. Or three. Whatever it is. You left your mark. You scarred me. Now just leave me alone" Riley said and left the arena.

Randy closed his eyes tight, and took off running when he heard the door click shut. John sighed and fell to the floor at that same moment.

As for Riley? She took off running, as fast as she could. And when she couldn't run anymore, she stopped. Dreams aren't what they use to be. Dreams of love and happiness no longer existed. Everything changes and there's nothing anyone can do to stop it. There, kneeling down on a street in Manhattan, Riley knew that she was truly alone.
