The One

Chapter Three: Not Now, Not Ever

Author's Note: Brookie, you're really, really, really pushing it... Lol... Well basically the title says it all...

Taking every single thought about both men and comparing them she realized one thing... One she hadn't known either long enough to truly love them, just the 'idea' of them. Two they were very much alike. It was almost as if they were the same, but at the same time they weren't. Reality was they were completely opposites not only from each other, but from her as well.

However, there is a bond between herself and Randy; and that bond is simply the baby that was growing inside of her. To be honest that bond couldn't really be ignored. She had to think of that baby first, not herself, but that baby. While at the same time she wanted to think of herself. Maybe she could do both?

So she thought of herself, then she thought about Randy and John. Finally when it was all said and done she had officially chosen the man she wanted to be with, despite the pain it'd cause the other, she choose. She knew John was somewhere in the area, just it was a question of where. Jeff had gone to lunch with a few TNA stars, so there was no telling how to find Cena.

Instead of searching the entire hotel she called him. He picked up quickly and then headed over to Jeff's hotel room. She awaited his arrival nervously, just hoping that he'd understand. Shortly after pacing a hole in the floor there was a knock at the door. The door flung open and her jaw dropped.

"Hey... I had to come see you..." Randy stated as he invited himself in, despite the look on Amy's face.

"Really... And yet I told you not to, why'd you come?" Amy asked before closing the door.

"Didn't I just say why?" He replied as she thought a moment.

"Ah yeah, I guess you did... Sorry, just a little out of it you could say..." She admitted.

"Oh really? Well if there's anything I can do, just say the word and I'll do it." He offered.

"That's really sweet, but I can take care of myself..." She declared.

"I know you can, but I just wanted you to know that." He replied.

"Well I do know that... So, ah, why'd you come when I'm gonna be on a plane out of here in like two or three hours?" She asked.

"Actually I was thinking you could get a later flight, like tomorrow, and we could stay here and spend some time together?" He announced.

"Is that an offer or an order?" She teased.

"An order..." He declared with a playful wink.

"You do know that's what got me pregnant?" She joked.

"Yeah, well this time there's no way you could get pregnant. So we should go for it." He replied.

"You're always one step ahead of everyone, aren't you?" She questioned.

"Yep, you know I am--" He started, a knock at the door stopping him. "You expecting someone?"

"No... Um, actually yes... I'll just need a few minutes..." She announced as she head towards the door.

She opened the door and practically shoved the man in the doorway back outside. He gave her a look as if to questioned her motives, until she shut the door behind her.

"Randy's here..." She declared.

"What? Why'd he come? I thought you--" John started.

"I said that to you as well, but look what happened..." She teased.

"Yeah, well now you can dump him sooner..." John sneered.

"Actually, I'm not dumping him... I'm not dumping anyone... I figured it'd be easier on everyone if I just stayed with Randy. Now before you start to rant about how I could fall in love with him in that time, you just hear me out. I've had time on my own to think, about what I want and what I can and can't do. This entire thing was very unfair to Randy, he was competing for me without even knowing it. Then out of no where I leave him for you? I'm not going to do that..." She stated.

"So you're gonna hurt me?" He replied dryly.

"Don't be that way... I mean you're not even considering how much you'd hurt one of your best friend's if you 'stole' me away from him." She snapped.

"I don't give a damn 'bout Randy... I love you--" He hissed.

"No... You don't... There's no way you could possibly love me." She cut him off.

"Stop acting like you're unlovable..." He replied.

"I'm not! We haven't known each other long enough to be in love... It took Matt and I almost a year to actually fall in love." She declared.

"Well that's nice... But how could you possibly love Randy?" He asked.

"I don't... At least not yet... I don't know what I'm trying to say here, but I just know that we can't be together now, maybe never." She announced.

"Maybe never? Why would you do that to yourself? I love you and yet you're going to stay with someone you don't love?"

"I don't love you... It was a mistake... I admit it, now all I want to do is try to have a relationship with Randy." She replied.

"Are you sure we could never be together?" He questioned.

"Positive..." She stated.

"Fine... But if you change your mind, I'll always be around." He reminded her.

"Of course you will... You're Randy's best friend... But you're no longer anything more than a friend to me." She declared.

"Yeah... I got it... Well have fun..." He sneered before walking off.

She watched as he walked done the hall, angry at himself above anyone else. He betrayed his best friend, in more than one way. Right now was the best time to head to Texas for the show. Although, he truly didn't want to, it was for the best if he did. Randy would grow curious if he knew John was here.

Amy went back into the hotel room, while Randy shot her a curious glance.

"And who was that?" Randy asked.

"Ah, Jeff... He wanted to know when we'd be done." Amy replied.

"Well he could have came in..." Randy pointed out.

"Yeah, but he didn't want to, ah... disturb us." Amy declared.

"Okay, so what do you want to do? We've got two whole days, alone..." Randy announced.

"Oh really? Well maybe we should just stay inside... Watch some movies?" Amy offered.

"Sure... Which movie?" He questioned.

"I don't know... Let's see what the pay-per-view selection is..." She stated before handing him the remote.
