Chapter 2: The Beginning of an End?

"John, where are you?" Stacy whispered. She was sitting on one of the bleachers on the field. She's been waiting for John just he had asked her to that morning. It was already 2:45 and John said that they were gonna meet at 2:30. She was getting more worried by the second. It isn't like John to be late, he's always on time. She felt her mobile phone on her pocket and battled with herself if she was going to call him. But before she could decide, her phone vibrated indicating that someone was calling. She quickly fished her phone out of her pocket and was glad when she saw John's name on her phone.

"Hello John? Where are you? I've been waiting here for ages!" Stacy cried but she was surprised when she heard another voice from the other end of the line.

"Um, uh, Miss Stacy I'm afraid that Mr. John Cena cannot meet you right now." The voice said.

"Huh? Who is this?" Stacy asked, a sudden rush of nerves came over her.

"This is Todd Grisham from the local hospital. Mr. Cena met an accident. Along with a guy named Randy Orton." The guy who introduced himself as Todd Grisham said to her.

"What? No way! I mean how, when? Where?" Stacy asked hysterically. This isn't real, Stacy thought.

"Miss Stacy I would like to ask you to calm down." Todd said and told her where John and Randy were taken. Stacy quickly hung up and jumped to her car and drove a neck breaking speed towards the hospital.

"John Cena… John… Cena…" Stacy panted on the nurse on the information counter.

"John Cena?" Hmm… He's in the ICU miss." The nurse informed her and Stacy quickly went to look for the ICU John was in. Stacy felt like crying.

"What had happened?" she kept asking herself.

"Please let John be okay. I need him! I love him!" she whispered to herself over and over again. "Damn!" she cursed when she still couldn't find the room.

After moments of looking, Stacy finally found the room. She sighed gratefully and summoned all her courage to hold the doorknob.

"Don't worry John I'm here." She said when she saw his limp body lying on a hospital bed through the glass window on the door, but before she could open the door a doctor stopped her.

"I'm sorry Miss but you are not allowed to enter this room." The doctor said.

"What? But why? He needs me!" Stacy shouted.

"Please keep your voice down Miss. We're in a hospital." The doctor said.

"What happened to him?" Stacy asked, her voice shaking.

"I don't want to sound negative and all Miss, but Mr. Cena only has a fifty-fifty chance of surviving. We can only hope for a miracle to happen."

"Please tell me what happened to him." Stacy pleaded. But instead of answering the doctor took her by the elbow and guided her to another room. The doctor opened the door for her and she slowly entered. She saw Randy Orton lying there. He was a mess but at least he was conscious.

"Stacy?" Randy asked confusedly. Stacy couldn't understand what she was feeling. She was feeling angry for an unknown reason and she felt pity for Randy in his current state.

"Stacy…" Randy called out her name once again.

"What happened?" Stacy asked, her voice blank from any emotions.

"Stacy I… I…" Randy started but a nurse burst inside the room.

"Dr. Austin! The patient in the ICU is--- Just please come to the ICU Doc!" The nurse said and left the room. Dr. Steve Austin quickly left and followed the nurse. (a/n: hah! Dr. Steve Austin! i kinda remember the time he pretended to be a doctor while Mr. Macmahon wa sin the hospital! who'd forget that?)

"John!" Stacy exclaimed and ran out of the room after the doctor. She saw nurses running in and out of the ICU. Stacy felt like a bomb was about to blow right in front of her with all the nervousness she was feeling. Then suddenly Dr. Austin came out.

"Miss, I think Mr. Cena wants to see you." He said sadly. Stacy didn't need anymore second telling she quickly went inside and saw John. She felt tears fall down her face.

"This can't be John." She thought. This person on the bed is lying helplessly. She had always seen John full of life and energy. But then Stacy saw him smile faintly. It was enough for Stacy to hasten her pace and sat beside the hospital bed and took his hand.

"John I'm here." She said softly and brought his hand to her heart.

"Stacy…" John said in a very faint voice.

"Shhh…" Stacy hushed him. "Don't talk…" Stacy said feeling that it would only make John feel more pain if he talks.

"No… I need to tell you something." John continued. Stacy was crying more, she couldn't afford to see John suffering this way.

"John…"

"I know I'm not going to make it…" John told her, he could tell that his end is near.

"No John talk like that!" Stacy said and kissed his hand.

"Listen to me Stace… Look at me." John said softly and Stacy raised her head from the bed. "You mean the world to me… I care for you and I… I love---" but John wasn't able to finish what he was about to confess to Stacy because that very moment, he had gone. Gone away forever.

"No! No… John no! John don't leave me!" Stacy cried over and over again.

John turned around to see what was the crying all about. Then he saw his body lying lifeless on the hospital bed with Stacy by his side crying uncontrollably.

"What the?" John asked in surprise. "Am I?" he couldn't dare say the D word out loud!

"Yeah, you're right. You're dead." A voice said from behind him. John recognized the voice belonged to a woman. John was getting more afraid by the moment so he slowly turned around to see the owner of the voice.

"Hi! I'm Ashley. I'm you're guardian angel." The lady said sweetly to him as she glided effortlessly towards him and offered a hand. John thought the best he could do was faint but he realized dead people no longer faint, right? Or do they?
