Explanations

"You two ready to get going?" John asked the two women.

"Yep," Keira responded downing her drink.

"I hope you know that you don't have to come," John said to Keira. "You're not gonna have anything to do."

"I'll find something to do," Keira said to him.

"Or someone," Trish said laughing.

"You're really mature," John said sarcastically.

"That's what you love about me," Trish said dancing around the passageway.

"I would love you anyway," John said and picked Trish up.

Keira stopped in her tracks. Usually she would've found a scene like this to be hilarious but after what John had admitted the other night about Trish being the reason that he was suspended she just didn't feel right have the two of them so close all the time.

"Earth to Keira," Trish said waving her hand in front of Keira.

"What?" She asked snapping out of her reverie.

"We're boarding," Trish said smiling. "Something bothering you?"

"Oh, it's nothing," Keira said clearing her mind. "Just thinking."

"If you say so," Trish said as they boarded the plane.

"Where'd John go?" Keira asked looking around.

"He had to use the facilities," Trish answered.

"Stop trying to sound sophisticated, it just doesn't work for you blondes," Keira said smiling.

"Why do people constantly take shots at my intellect?" Trish asked.

"Because it's just so easy," Keira said as they sat down together.

"What's so easy?" John asked sitting next to Keira.

"Trish," Keira replied quickly.

"So I enjoy it, females can too," Trish said sticking her tongue out at Keira.

Keira laughed and rested her head on John's shoulder.

"Tired?" John asked.

"Yeah," Keira said closing her eyes.

John wrapped his arm around Keira's shoulders and kissed her forehead.

˜˜˜

"Do it properly this week, don't mess up again."

"I won't Vince, last time there were complications, this time there won't be."

"You'd better hope not because I usually don't give second chances. The only reason I'm doing this is because of who your father is."

˜˜˜

"Last week was completely off the hook," Keira said happily.

"It was," John agreed getting ready for his match.

"You beat Booker T and Charlie Haas," Keira said glowing. "Who are you facing tonight?"

"No idea," John replied. "But you're coming."

"Yes," Keira said jumping up and down. "Finally."

John shook his head and laughed. "And you can hire someone tomorrow do paperwork."

"No," Keira whined. "I'll do it as long as I get to come down to the ring with you for every match where I'm allowed."

"Deal," John said as they shook on it. "Let's get going."

"Alrighty," Keira said and cheerfully pranced out of the room.

John's music started and the crowd went wild but everyone appeared to be completely shocked to see that he was being accompanied to the ring by Keira Langdon.

The bell sounded and the ring announcer started.

"The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Introducing first, from West Newberry, Massachusetts, accompanied to the ring by Keira Langdon, John Cena!"

Keira was getting ready to walk to the side of the ring when John offered her his hand and helped her up the steel steps. Then as Keira walked along the apron John slid into the ring, and opened the bottom two ropes for Keira.

"Thank you," Keira mouthed to John as he continued his entrance.

Then when he was done and his music ended he took his shirt and chain off and handed them to Keira.

"Do you want the jersey back?" Keira asked him.

"Why?" He asked her confused.

"I have an idea," she said smiling. "Nothing bad, it'll boost your fan base man, think about the children."

John just smiled. "Do as you want, manager."

"Thank you," she said as music started.

Both Keira and John were shocked when they noticed that the music belonged to Randy Orton.

"Making his way to the ring, from St. Louis, Missouri, accompanied to the ring by Stacy Keibler, Randy Orton!"

"What?" Both Keira and John asked each other.

"What's the matter Cena?" Randy asked. "Taking what I threw to the curb?"

"She dumped you man," John replied.

"And I ended up with something a lot hotter," Randy said referring to Stacy.

Keira was still in shock but was extremely annoyed when Stacy started making fun of the bruise that was still around Keira's eye.

"Girls you gotta get out of the ring," Nick Patrick said. "We have to get this started."

John held the ropes for Keira again while Randy let Stacy find her own way out of the ring.

When the match got underway both men were running high on adrenaline but Randy still had the early advantage over John. Finally John started to fight back, he gave Randy quite a few rights and then tried to Irish whip him into the ropes but Randy reversed it and threw John. Once John reached the ropes Stacy grabbed his leg causing him to hit the mat.

"C'mon ref!" Keira shouted from her side of the ring.

Stacy stuck her tongue out at Keira. However, despite all of Stacy's interference John managed to get himself back into the fight and surprise Randy with a School Boy Pin and win.

Keira started screaming jumping up and down excitedly. The referee raised John's hand and then John helped Keira into the ring again and she raised John's hand.

Then before Keira could realize what happened Stacy speared her from behind and Randy took John down.

"Hold her," Randy instructed Stacy.

"Don't worry about it," Stacy said as Keira continued to struggle.

"Let go of me!" Keira shrieked and started fighting harder.

"Oh quit it," Stacy said gave her an elbow to the back of her head.

Keira cried out in pain but John was out cold and couldn't help her.

Randy re-entered the ring and folded up a steel chair.

"Don't do it!" Keira screamed still fighting with Stacy.

"I've been waiting for this for a long time John," Randy said and he lifted the chair high over his head.

Randy began to lower the chair and Keira could take it anymore. She looked behind her and saw Stacy's evil grin and heard her laugh. Keira looked down and saw her hands around her own arms. Keira lowered her head and bit Stacy's arm as hard as she could. Stacy let go and Keira ran in front of John.

˜˜˜

The beeping was so loud. Keira wanted to break the alarm clock. Why was it set anyway? Was it even an alarm clock? Keira opened her eyes and looked around. Where the hell was she? Where was everyone? How did she get there?

Keira tried moving her arm but let out a shrill screech when she realized what she was hooked up to. She was in a hospital room. The beeping wasn't an alarm clock it was the machine that was used to take your pulse. But last time she was there Trish had been waiting for her to wake up. Where was Trish? Where was John? Where was everyone?

˜˜˜

Keira woke up in a cold sweat. She looked around and everything looked exactly like it had in her dream. Except that now the pain was real and it hurt tremendously.

Keira attempted to look around more but was stopped because the pain in her neck made her scream out.

"Whoa, calm down."

There was a familiar voice but Keira couldn't place it and to make matters worse she couldn't look at the person. Keira started to panic and cry.

"Shhh…" The voice said peacefully. "It's only me. It's John."

Keira stopped her mini panic attack.

"It's gonna be alright," John said and ran his fingers through her hair. "Are you gonna be okay for a minute while I go and get the doctor?"

Keira stopped crying and made an effort to nod.

"I'll take that as a yes," John said and got up.

He left for only a few short minutes and returned with a doctor.

"Good afternoon Ms. Langdon," the doctor greeted her. "Nice to see you awake again. How do you feel?"

"It hurts so much," Keira said quietly.

"I wouldn't doubt that," the doctor said looking at a chart. "Would you mind if I just took a look at your neck and head?"

"Not at all," Keira said trying to raise herself.

"Oh that won't be necessary," the doctor said and just quickly examined her neck from the position she was laying in. "Well you definitely won't be able to go back to work for quite some time. The only real thing that I can prescribe for you are painkillers, ice and a lot of bed rest." Then the doctor looked at John. "She's not allowed to do anything but rest for the next few weeks, she took one hell of a chair shot and it's actually quite amazing that nothing's broken. You're a lucky guy to have a woman do that for you."

John looked at Keira and smiled. He took her hand in his and gently massaged it.

"You can sign her out as soon as you want," the doctor said and left.

"You wanna get going soon or do you want to rest longer?" John asked.

"It hurts a lot," Keira said holding her neck.

"Well as soon as we get you to a hotel I'll give you tonnes of painkillers and ice," John said helping her.

"How I love painkillers," Keira said.

John just laughed and passed her her clothing.

"How close is our hotel?" Keira asked.

"Not that far," John said turning around so that Keira could have some privacy while she put her bra and shirt on. When she was done John looked at her neck. "You're gonna have another huge bruise."

"I hate bruises," Keira said. "They're so ugly."

"And still your beauty shines through," John said kissing her cheek.

Keira blushed.

"I wanna go to the hotel and sleep," Keira said as John picked up her bag. "I could have done that."

"But then I wouldn't feel masculine," John said.

"Oh, poor little body builder wouldn't feel masculine," Keira said laughing.

"What are you doing walking around?" Trish asked.

"I would give you a smart answer but I can't think of one," Keira said. "I'm free to go."

"Ah…" Trish said. "Well then I guess that I'll see you two later."

"Don't you wanna come with us?" Keira asked.

"Not really," Trish said laughing. "I'm gonna go and hang out with Rob and some of the other dudes."

"Don't have too much fun," Keira said winking at her.

"Oh believe me, I will," Trish said leaving.

"C'mon," John said, "you need some rest."

"Oh hey!" Trish said running back to Keira. "I saw Randy before and he told me to give you these."

Trish handed Keira a full bottle of pills.

"Thanks," Keira said and quickly put the pills in her pocket.

"What are those?" John asked.

"Oh just a prescription painkiller," Keira said.

˜˜˜

Once John and Keira got to the hotel John put Keira to bed and watched her sleep for a while. He felt completely responsible for what happened to her, for the second time. But it wasn't like he told her to do it, she did it herself.

John's head quickly shot up when he heard Keira whimper in pain. She had tried to roll over in her sleep but her neck didn't fully cooperate. John crawled on the bed and gently lifted her head up and helped her. Her eyes opened slightly and she smiled.

"You feeling alright?" John asked.

"I guess it could be worse," Keira said. "I wouldn't mind it if I had a bodyguard sleeping beside me."

"Would that be a crafty hint?" John asked.

"Just a request," she said.

"Well if you insist," John said rolling his eyes and laying down beside her. "Thank you."

"For what?" Keira asked.

"Saving my career for the second time this month," John said and kissed the tip of her nose.

"Well since we're on that topic," Keira started, "why does Vince want you out so badly?"

John closed his eyes and rolled over onto his back. "Do we really have to have this conversation right now?"

"Yes."

"Why?"

"Because I say so," Keira said. "And I saved your career twice in the last month and I'm beginning to think that you owe me something."

"Alright," John said a little bothered.

"Spill."

"Remember when I told you about how I was suspended for so long and the reason was Trish?" John asked.

"Yeah…"

"Well, it happened at a club one night when Randy and I were innocently having a little fun with the women and we saw Vince and some of his 'business associates' having a drink. So we decided that we would eavesdrop just a little bit to see what they were talking about and if it had anything to do with the two of us," John started. "While we were listening in we heard Vince talking about Trish and how he thought that she was a whore and she would be a hot young girl to sleep with…"

"No wonder Linda left him," Keira said.

"There's more," John said.

"Go on," Keira said interested in what John had to say.

"We kept listening and he told this person that he was going to have Trish come to his office the next night and told her that she would be fired if she didn't do what he wanted," John said. "And he was listing off these sick and perverted things that he was going to make her do and personally I wouldn't want that to happen to anyone, even Stacy, never mind a good friend of mine like Trish."

"So?"

"So I kicked Vince's ass," John said. "And apparently while doing so I 'crossed the boss'."

"What an asshole," Keira said as a cold chill ran up her back.

"Yeah," John said caressed her back. "One reason why I don't like you being around him."

"I haven't been around him since I met you," Keira said perplexed.

"Hey, I told you that you caught my eye as soon as I saw you with Randy on television," John said defensively.

"You are a stalker," Keira said and playfully slapped his chest.

Instead of replying to the comment John leaned him and kissed her. She responded by kissing him back until she let out a gasp.

"What's wrong?" John asked pulling away quickly.

"It hurts my neck to kiss you," Keira said saddened.

"It's alright," John said stroking her arm. "Do you want anything?"

"You," Keira said burrowing her head between John's neck and the pillows on the bed.

"Well I'm not going anywhere," John said running his fingers through her hair.
