Trish ran into the hospital. A thin cover of sweat glistened on her face. Her black duffel bag was in her left hand.

"John, how is he? I came here as soon as I could but I had to find somebody to watch Charlie," Trish said, struggling to catch her breath. John sighed.

"He's seeing the doctor right now. They won't let me in because I'm not family, but the nurse assured me he's fine. If I was a size zero thirty-eight D woman, I would have been let in," John ranted. Trish allowed him to. She knew he was just angry and he had every right to be.

"Relax." Trish said, pulling a bottle of water out of her bag. "I'm sure he's fine. It looked like a mild concussion."

"Right! How would you feel if Chris got knocked out and they wouldn't let you in?" he snapped. Trish closed her eyes. John obviously was not in control of his emotions.

"Excuse me, can you tell me how Randy Orton is doing?" she asked. The receptionist sighed, typing something into her computer.

"They just moved him upstairs. Take the elevator to the third floor, and you're looking for Neurology," she said, cracking her gum. Trish gestured for John to follow her.

"How did you do that?" John asked. "I tried for twenty minutes to get her to tell me something!" Trish sighed.

"I don't know." she said, pressing the button for the elevator. "I'm sure he's fine,"

John hated not knowing. That was the worst part. Why did people have to treat him like a second-rate individual just because he was gay? He only wanted what everyone else wanted.

All he wanted was to know if his significant other was well.

"Excuse me!" Trish exclaimed, trying to get a nurse's attention. The nurse turned around.

"Yes, Ma'am?" she asked. Trish sighed.

"Um, we can't seem to find my brother," she said. The nurse nodded.

"Name?" the nurse asked.

"Trish Orton," she said. The nurse closed her eyes and groaned.

"His name, Ma'am," the nurse said.

"Randy Orton," Trish said. She thrust her arm around John's waist, and kissed his lips. John glanced down at her. Had the petite Canadian woman lost her mind?

"Follow me." the nurse said. "Sir, may I ask your name?"

"John Cetera, Randy's my best friend," John replied. Trish glanced into his eyes. Her eyes plainly said, 'I'll explain later,' She fully intended to.

"John!" Randy exclaimed, glimpsing his boyfriend in the doorway. Trish released her grip on John's waist. Nodding gratefully, John set out towards him.

"You scared me!" he exclaimed, throwing his arms around him. "It took me a long time to figure out what was going on!" Randy hugged him.

John felt relieved. He was glad to see Randy was almost back to normal. When he had entered the hospital, he had been calling John 'Darryl'.

"What's my name?" John asked. Randy rolled his eyes.

"John Felix Anthony Cena. I call you 'C' and Johnny," he said. He snickered, seeing John scowl. "I only call you Johnny when you annoy me,"

"Why did you kiss me?" John asked, turning around. Trish sighed. Where should she begin?

"Um, to throw that nurse off," she said. Randy looked at her.

"As long as you're not planning to run off to Aruba with him." Randy murmured. Trish rolled her eyes. She loved Randy, but sometimes, he made no sense.

"You okay?" John asked. Rolling his eyes, Randy nodded.

"I'm hungry. Can you see if you can bring food in from outside the hospital?" he asked. Trish went to find a nurse.

"You gave me quite a scare," John said. Randy sighed.

"It's not like I meant to get knocked out," he said. John rolled his eyes.

"That's not the point!" he exclaimed. He pecked Randy on the lips.

"The nurse says it's fine!" Trish exclaimed. John glanced down at Randy.

"Anything you want," he said. Randy shrugged.

"I don't know. Something with curry in it?" he asked. John nodded.

If Randy wanted curry, he would get curry.
