Chapter 3
The following week opened as it did more commonly these days, with the Highlight Reel, however this week the show was hosted by its real host.
Chris Jericho stood in the middle of the ring, he looked both upset as well as rather smug, "I'm sure that all or most of you saw the events that took place at Wrestlemania 19. For those of you who don't, or do know thanks to two rookies telling you their side of the story, I would like to finally tell you mine. Since what I believe to be early February Randy Orton was making moves on my now ex fiancée Riley Cena. I helped bring Randy Orton into this business and this is how he repays me. But that's not what truly shocked, upset and angered me about all of this. Riley, I brought you into the world of Wrestling, you were a nobody until I found you… a nobody! No one knew who Riley Cena was, no one even knew the last name Cena. I fell in love with you as did you with me and we had a six year relationship. You meant everything to me and I would have given up anything to be with you…. Anything," Jericho looked on the point of near tears, "You know how much I loved you, if I didn't love you I never would have helped you make it to your dream. How could you be so selfish and turn on me. How can being with Orton be better than me. You probably can come up reasons why he is but I ask you, does Orton care about you the way I do? For example if Kane attacked you would Orton sacrifice himself to save you or would he wait till it was safe and then rescue you from a threat that is no longer there. Riley I-"
Evolution is a mystery…
Randy Orton walked out into the arena not looking at all pleased. He entered the ring and received a microphone, "Jericho what gives you the right to come out here and talk about Riley as if she is the bad guy in this situation. You want to know the truth Jericho, well ill give you the truth. Riley has always loved you since the day she met you and she probably still loves you. I have accepted that. Do you realise how many years I sat on the sideline and watched you two together. I have loved Riley Cena from the day I walked into her Maths class when I was sixteen Jericho! I had the chance to be with her before you even walked into the picture but I was too scared to lose her as a friend. It was a mere month after you started training her that you finally won her heart and got that kiss you wanted so bad. Do you know how I felt when that happened, when I walked in on you two in the practise ring… the same way you feel now!" Randy's anger had climbed to a new level as sadness began to creep into his words. "But now it's the other way around and you stand here in the ring complaining, I don't remember complaining to everyone that Riley was with me. It is her life and she doesn't deserve to be treated the way you treated her. She fell in love with me but despite this through many tears and fights she told me that we couldn't be together because she couldn't break your heart, not to mention John had told me about your planned engagement and even I told her not to break-up with you because of it. But you went too far Jericho, you tried to forbid your fiancée to even talk to her best friend, the one person who she felt she could confine in for everything. But now its all come back around and slapped you in the face."
Randy shook his head before leaving the ring and beginning to head up the ramp.
"Wait Orton!" Chris yelled after him, Randy turned around raising an eyebrow slightly annoyed. "This isn't over I challenge you to a match at Backlash, no disqualification!"
The crowd cheered loudly.
Randy sighed and shook his head, before raising the microphone to his lips, "I'm sorry to disappoint you Jericho but on Sunday I will busy accompanying my beautiful girlfriend Riley Cena to the ring when she faces Lita in number one contenders match for the Womens Title!"
Randy then proceeded to leave the arena.
Riley Cena sat watching the Television tears rolling down her cheeks.
Trish sighed coming to sit on the lounge beside her, "You ok?"
Riley shook her head, she had made a decision at Wrestlemania that she wanted to be with Randy but after both mens words she wanted so desperately to be with both of them again. She had forgotten just how much Chris had loved her and she had been shocked when she had realised just how long Randy had loved her also.
"Give me a hug," Trish sighed.
Still crying Riley hugged her friend, "Thankyou for being such a good friend Trish."
The blonde smiled, "That's what I'm here for, anyways we both better start focusing on Sunday I am going to defend my title against Chyna, who seems to think she can just waltz into this business anytime and rule the place, and you are going to be Lita and then it will be you verses me at Bad Blood."
Riley sighed, "I don't want to verse you though, you're my friend."
Trish smiled, "Don't say that Riley, people fight there friends all the time. If we face each other it will be a match based around sportsmanship, I know how hard you have worked to get to the level of wrestling you are just reaching now and if I loose it I know that I am loosing it to someone who deserves it."
Riley smiled hugging her friend again, little did she realise just how much Trish love her Championship and she wasn't planning to give it up without a fight.
Riley sighed as she slowly walked out of the Complex, she had finished for the evening and was planning to meet Randy and John at the car.
"Riley!"
Riley turned to see some security ushering Witney into a nearby car. Despite Riley's attempt to get her friend to win the Diva Search, her friend had been voted of in the first week.
She walked over to her friend and briefly hugged her, "Im sorry about your elimination tonight Whitney."
Whitney sighed, "Its fine, I guess Wrestling just isn't for me. Oh heres my phone number," she handed Riley a piece of paper, "give me a call sometime if your in Boston, maybe we can have lunch or something."
A smile reached Riley's lips as Whitney climbed into the car.
Riley turned heading towards her car once again.
Her phone rang and she checked the caller ID before answering.
Sean Cena
"Hello?"
"Whats up sister?" a too happy voice asked from the other end of the line.
Riley sighed, "a lot actually, why are you calling me anyways?"
Sean gasped, "I cant ring my favourite sister?"
Riley laughed, "for one I'm your only sister and secondly it's a quarter to eleven!"
Sean laughed, "Well I couldn't call you earlier, cause I thought you could end up being on the air and plus my flight didn't get in till a few hours ago."
"Where were you flying to?" she asked.
"Just to Atlanta in Georgia, I got tickets to this WWE Event for tonight," Sean laughed.
Riley put the pieces together, "But RAW is the only event in Atlanta tonight?"
Sean laughed loudly, "Turn around."
Riley turned and saw a dark brown haired man standing a few metres behind her, he was the spitting image of his older brother John except his muscles were not as evident as his brothers, "Sean!" she screamed running over and hugging her brother, "what are you doing here?"
Sean smiled hugging his sister close to him, "Well I heard you had this big match this weekend and I called in, Vince McMahon said if I flew in to Atlanta he'd let me travel with everyone back to Worcester."
"Wouldn't it have been easier just to get a flight to Worcester, I mean its in Massachusetts a hell of a money saver?" Riley asked pointing out the obvious.
"Well if I did that I would have missed that speech my Randy tonight," he replied.
Voices could be heard in the distance as the figures of John Cena and Randy Orton walking through the car park, their bags over their shoulders.
As the two men reached them John looked at Sean briefly, thinking he was security or a fan for a moment before yelling, "Sean, what the hell are you doing here?"
Sean laughed, "I came to see you guys. I haven't seen you in a few months, and I wanted to check up on Riley she's been a bit out of it on the phone lately."
After a few minutes of catching up they decided to head back to the hotel and have a late dinner.
