Chapter 12

"She'll Never Understand"

The next morning, Trish Stratus was finally released from the hospital after two days as Randy Orton helped her out of the car. He handed the Canadian blonde her crutches as she begins to slowly make her way towards the entrance of the hotel. "I'll be right there!" Randy yells out while gathering her belongings from the rentedvan and getting help from Dave, Kurt, Adam and Amy. Trish, who wasn't listening, continues walking uncomfortably with the crutches and before she could hold onto both of them to reach for the door with her free hand, someone has already beaten her to it.

"Need help?" A familiar voice was heard as she turned around, and to her surprise, finds John Cena in his football jersey and Chaingang Soilder cap holding the door for her. Trish's lips slightly parted as she stood there just looking at him, unsure of what to say with the thought of John who could possibly sent her all those flowers on the back of her mind. "Trish?" He wrinkles his forehead as she shook her head from a fixed trance and looks up.

"Huh?"

"You okay there?" John slightly chuckles. "You look as if you were zoning out…"

She weakly smiles. "No, I'm fine. It's the soreness that's getting to me."

He nods his head and makes a gesture for her to go inside while the door is still open. "After you, Trish."

"Thank you." She took her crutches and begins making her way inside where she was greeted by Chris Masters, Carlito, Victoria, Ashley, and Torrie waiting for her arrival in the foyer.

"Trish!" They all surrounded the Canadian blonde, exchanging hugs and a few words as they watch Kurt, Dave, Adam, and Amy entering the hotel and rapidly walking towards the elevator to Trish's room carrying bouquet of nearly dying flowers in vases two at a time.

"Whoa…look at all those flowers." Torrie thought in disbelief.

"Yeah…" Trish smiles as she looks at her friends. "They're from you guys right?"

They exchange looks and furrowed their eyebrows. "Uh no…"

"Don't look at me. I gave you a stuff toy."

"And that's not cool." Carlito blurted out as he took a bite off his apple. "You should have gotten her something better…like a…like balloons." They looked at him and chuckled.

"Then who could it be?" Trish thought when all of a sudden all eyes turn to John Cena as they wait for his response. "What?" Randy walks inside and noticed a small crowd surrounding Trish.

"Are they from you?" She questions as Randy joins the group and realized they were talking about the flowers. His eyes widens as John begins to look as bewildered as the rest are.

"Flowers?" John Cena questions with a confused look on his face. "They're not from--" But before he could answer a no, he was interrupted by the contact of Randy's elbow on his side as he turns to his best friend with a raised eyebrow. Randy gives him the look and mouthed a word to him as John Cena nodded and turns back around. "Uh yeah…" he responds timidly while adjusting his cap, "they are from me."

"Oh…" Trish weakly smiles, "that's really sweet of you, John. Thank you." It was an awkward situation as the Canadian native finds herself uncomfortable around him. Chris Masters, Carlito, Victoria, Ashley, Torrie, and Randy darted their eyes between the two as silence fell upon them.

"Hey, guys." Randy faces Chris and Carlito to break the silence. "Think you can give us a hand?"

They nodded their heads. "Yeah, sure." The girls exchange looks, making the scene even more awkward as they too try to find an excuse to leave the two alone.

"Hey, Torrie can you do my hair for tonight's house show?"

She nodded her head at the RAW 2005 Diva search winner. "Sure thing, Ashley."

"We should definitely work on our match." Victoria added as they begin to slowly part from Trish and John. Trish's mouth fell open in surprise as they watch her friends leave her alone with John Cena. 'I'm so gonna kill them.' She thought now in a more uncomfortable situation for she knew what exactly they were doing. John Cena's hands were stuffed in the front pockets of his jean shorts with his cap hiding his eyes. He felt so nervous that he wanted to find Randy and pound the living shit out of him for putting him on the spot. John had no idea that buying flowers was part of Randy's plan—a plan in which John had no knowledge of, only making him feel rather fearful of pushing Trish away.

"Well…this is awkward." Trish breaks the long silence as she turns to John with an uneasy chuckle.

"Yeah…" he meets her eyes, "I didn't mean to make you or anyone else feel awkward…"

She pursed her lips and sighs. "You surprise me in so many ways, John." A small smile crossed her face. "Why did you do it?"

He suddenly felt weak in the knees. He wanted so bad to tell her that it wasn't his idea, but Randy's. 'It wasn't supposed to go this way,' he thought out of frustration. 'Now she's gonna know!'

"John?"

"Look, Trish..." he says with a deep breath after thinking in through briefly, "I just wanted to show you that I do care…and those flowers…well…it may not mean much to you, but it's a start." Her eyes soften. "I do want you to feel better, Trish and I want you to understand that I'm not as much of a jerk as you expect me to be. There I said it."

John looks down coyly, waiting for the insults, the hostility and resentment he would expect from Trish. He waits to be pushed away…and perhaps get slapped in the face for making Trish feel uncomfortable and embarrassed in front of their friends. But instead he received a warm, sincere, and sweet smile from the Canadian native. "Hmm…I might have to think twice about you, Cena." He furrowed his eyebrows in bewilderment. "No one has ever bought me over 20 bouquets of flowers at once. That's a plus," Trish adds with a wink.

"Huh?"

"Listen, I know I've been hard on you lately and I'm sorry. I'm usually not like that to newcomers."

"Uh huh," John smirks playfully, "sure."

"Well…I guess I was a little hard on Randy. Can't blame me though? He was a cocky jerk."

"He's still cocky though."

Trish slightly chuckles, "yeah. That's what he gets for hanging around with you so much."

"Hey, I got it from him."

She laughed. "You two are too much alike."

"Yeah well…you really don't know me, Trish. You never knew the kind of guy I was before Randy came along."

"Well I would like to one day."

He raises an eyebrow. "Trish, are you sure you're just sore and sprained your ankle?"

"Yeah why?"

"Nothing…it's just weird that you're all of a sudden nice to me…"

"Hey, I'm trying right?"

John smiles, "Aiite. Let's see if you can keep it up."

"Okay," Trish nods in agreement, "remember when you said you'll be willing to help me out with training?"

"Yeah."

"You think you can help me out at the gym tonight? I could definitely use a training buddy."

A smile suddenly crosses his face. "Yeah, sure." He responds elatedly just the thought of working out with Trish.

"Cool, I guess I'll see you then at 8?"

He nods his head, "8 got it!"

"Alright, I'll see you later, John." Trish picks up the crutches as the two parted ways.

Meanwhile, Randy placed the last of Trish's stuff in her hotel room and as soon as he was about to leave, Amy blocked the door carrying the last two bouquet of flowers and placing it on the table nearby.

"Is that it?" He asked as the redhead nods, her arms folded across her chest. Randy all of a sudden felt a weird vibe coming from Amy as soon as she walked inside the room. Moments ago she was happy...but now he couldn't help noticed the redhead looking rather intimidating.

"Uh huh," she slowly walks over to him and begins taking out something from the back of her pocket. Her suspicious eyes remain fixed on him as she finally takes it out. "Randy, you dropped this." Amy hands her a small business card of the same florist company that brought Trish's flowers. Randy's mouth fell open as he looks at Amy.

"Where did you get it?"

She grunted and rolls her eyes. "It fell out of your pocket." Randy bit his lip coyly as uncomfortable silence fell upon them. Amy tilts her head to the side and reads him carefully. "The flowers were from you, not John Cena weren't they?"

He deeply sighs, "What are you talking about?"

"Don't play stupid, Randy. I know you're up to something. Question is, why would you buy two dozen of flower bouquets for Trish and say it's from John Cena?"

"Look, he asked me where he could find flowers to send to Trish, and I happen to know a place in Hawaii."

"Bullshit." Amy shot back coldly. "You are up to something, so spill it out before I inform Trish about it."

Randy averts from her cold glare and sighs. He was caught and now he has nowhere to go. "Alright…fine." The young WWE superstar threw his hands up in defeat. "They are from me. But that's just part of the plan."

"A plan for what?"

He groans reluctantly, "A plan to get Trish and John together."

"And why would you do that?"

"Because John wants Trish."

Amy's lips slightly parted. Although she wasn't surprise that John is attracted to Trish, Amy was more so surprise that Randy was involved in their hooking up. "And you're okay with that?"

"Well…yeah why wouldn't I be? Trish and John are my best friends…and I think John being with Trish would be good for him."

"But what about you? I mean…don't you still have feelings for Trish?"

He pauses for a brief moment before answering. "No, I don't."

"Bullshit. I don't buy that."

Randy groans, followed by a roll to the eyes. "Honestly Amy, you don't buy to anything I say at all."

Tension suddenly heated the room. Randy and Amy weren't as close as he is with Trish. Although Amy wasn't too fond of the idea of Trish and Randy dating after her break up with Chris Jerico, she begins to take Trish's word and give Randy a chance. At first Amy didn't like the thought of Trish dating an arrogant, self-centered, cocky bastard like Randy but when she learned how much Trish has changed him, Amy started building a friendship wth him.

"You know what I think? I think you still have feelings for Trish, and because you believe you two will never happen, you attempt to bring John and Trish together so you can move on."

"It's not like that, Amy. I just want John and Trish to be happy…"

"What makes you think it's what Trish wants?"

Randy scoffs, "We'll just see won't we?" His tone of voice grows louder than he intended it to be as frustration filled his eyes.

Amy looks away and nods her head in dismay. "I'm really disappointed in you, Randy." He averts from her gaze and sighs as she begins opening the door to the hotel room. She just had about enough and for some reason it totally frustrated her. "You know if you truly cared for Trish and if you're feelings were ever true at all you would be fighting for her," she trails off while slowly walking out, "Oh and don't worry," She looks over her shoulder with the door wide open, allowing Randy to meet her gaze, "I won't say a word because you will."

He sighs as she leaves the hotel room.
