Trish struggled to open her eyes and when she did she looked down to see John peacefully sleeping next to her. She squeezed his hand that was tangled in hers as she looked to the left of her to see that Amy and Dave were in the same position as she and John. A slow smile formed on Trish's face as she gazed over the picture perfect picture before her.

"Hey beautiful!" A groggy voice called to her.

"Hi" Trish replied smiling at John.

"How are you feeling?" He asked the half awake blonde.

"My neck hurts." Trish answered as she rubbed her sore neck.

"I'm sorry" John said as his face filled with shame.

"For what?" Trish asked confused at his apology.

"I promised to always be there to catch you when you were about to fall and...I didn't" John explained with sorrow.

"Do you mean that metaphorically or literally?" Trish questioned jokingly

"Both" John answered with the same sadness.

"Well your here now and that's all that matters." Trish said with a smile as she grabbed John's hand once more.

"I love you Trish." John said looking deep into Trish's sparkling brown eyes.

Trish's smile grew even wider as she leaned down and place a small kiss on John's lips. She pulled away with the same smile.

"I love you to John." Trish replied as John laid next to Trish excitedly. Trish placed her head on John's chest and closed her eyes as the sound of John's beating heart put her to sleep.

Chris and Stephanie sat on a swing set at a local park in silence until Stephanie broke the akward silence.

"Chris, I'm really sorry that all this happend. I know that you're probably not up to talking right now, but I want you to know that when your ready I'll be here to listen." Stephanie informed her silent boyfriend with a comforting smile.

Chris swung back and forth staring at the ground beneath him letting his feet drag across the sand leaving trail marks of the bottom of his shoes. Chris slowly came to a complete stop and took Stephanie's hand in his as he continued to stare at the ground. Stephanie carefully examined Chris wondering what thoughts were going through his beautiful mind.

"This wasn't supposed to happen." Chris said in a low voice as he placed his hands in his rough hands.

Stephanie continued to look over Chris with sympathy. She grabbed his hands once more and placed a gentle kiss on it. She pushed herself closer to him as he wrapped his arm around her. She allowed her head to fall on his shoulders as he scooted her closer to his body.

"Your amazing you know that?" Chris said as he kissed the top of head that was still lightly placed on his shoulder.

Stephanie blushed slightly at his comment as she snuggled into him for warmth.

"No I'm not, I'm just Stephanie." She said as Chris warmed her arm to warm her.

"Yeah but the fact that your here with me makes me really glad that your not the spoiled billion dolar princess I thought you were." Chris commented jokingly

"And I'm really glad that your not the assclown that I always thought you were." Stephanie retorted with the same humor as him.

Chris chuckled at Stephanie's sense of humor. He was really grateful to be with her, she really was an amazing person. Chris smiled as he took a hard look at what was in his life.

"Thank you." Chris said softly as he kissed lips with soft passion.

"Your welcome" Stephanie replied returning his effection with a smile that only he could love.

The two started to swing in eachothers arms as they both thought to themselves how much they loved the other.

Stacy stood outside of Randy's hospital room as she watched the two officers questioned him. Fear took over Stacy's body as she felt a hand touch her shoulder. She turned around slowly and sighed in relief when she saw the person standing in front of here.

"What are you doing here?" Stacy asked the man who was staring at her strangley.

"Well I came here to apologize to you for leaving you at the dance the way I did, but I can see your busy so I'll just come back later." The man answered as he watched Stacy focus all her attention on Randy.

"Do you think he killed Maven?" The man asked who took a place standing behind Stacy.

Stacy turned around and stared down the man who was now facing her.

"Just go home Jeff!" Stacy shouted angrily as she turned back to watch Randy.

"Stacy as much as I hate Randy it's kind of hard for me to believe he would kill someone." Jeff said as he stood behind Stacy once more.

"That's because he didn't!" Stacy yelled as she pushe Jeff away from her.

"Look all I'm trying to say is that even if he did kill Maven it was in self-defense, he's not gonna go to jail." Jeff explained as he tried to sound sincere.

Stacy now had tears streaming down her face which anyone could obviously see were filled with mixed emotions.

"I'm so scared!" Stacy cried as she broke down into Jeff's arms. Stacy grabbed on to him and hugged him as if for dear life. Jeff hugged her back as only a friend could do.

"Shhh...It'll be ok. Nothing bad is going to happen to you or Randy." Jeff comforted the hysterical blonde. He pulled away from her and wiped the runny mascara from her face. "Hey, I know what will cheer you up legs." Jeff offered with a smile.

"What?" Stacy asked as she fixed herself up and wiped away her tears.

"How about you go visit Trish and Amy, I know for a fact that they have been waiting to see you." Jeff Persuaded the tall blonde with a smile.

"I would love to go see them, I really would but I can't leave Randy." Stacy explained with sadness in her voice.

"Trust me, he's not going anywhere." Jeff said referring to Randy's injured leg. "But to put your mind at ease I'll stay with him to make sure everything is alright, so you go see Amy and Trish." Jeff as he directed to Stacy to go.

"Are you sure? You won't mind? I'll only be a few minutes I swear." Stacy pleaded with excitment.

"I don't mind at all, take your time, and send them my love ok." Jeff called after Stacy who was already half way down the hall.

"I will!" Stacy yelled as she turned the corner.

Jeff turned to Randy's room and moved aside as the the policemen made their way out of the room. After the policemen had left Jeff walked into the room much to Randy's dismay.

"Why are you here? where's Stacy?" Randy asked in annoyance looking around for Stacy who he had just seen a second ago.

"She went to go see Amy and Trish." Jeff explained as he took a seat next to Randy.

"That still doesn't explain why your here." Randy said rudely as he eyed Jeff with annoyance.

"We need to talk." Jeff answered as he watched Randy's face turn a light shade of red.

"Ok, listen up Hardy! I don't know why your here and I really don't care but if this little visit has anything to do with me and Stacy being together then you just wasted a good gallon of gas because I'm not gonna hear your whiney ass complain about how I 'stole your girlfriend!'" Randy fumed with anger as Jeff laughed in amusement.

"I didn't come here to fight about Stacy ok. Stacy loves you and for life of me I will never know why but for some reason she's happy with you so I'm happy. Believe it or not I came here to help you." Jeff explained as he leaned back in his chair coolly.

"Well in that case, I don't believe it, so get out!" Randy ordered Jeff who stayed calm.

"Hey, I already helped you out once tonight, so I thought what the heck I'm inthe giving mood, so why not help keep you out of jail?" Jeff informed Randy as he shrugged off his sarcasim.

"What do you mean you helped me out tonight? I don't think taking my girlfriend to Winter Formal qualifies as a good deed." Randy replied as a smirk formed on Jeff's face.

"You won snow king didn't you?" Jeff asked Randy who's head shot in his dirwction.

"What the hell does that have to do with anything?" Randy asked confused

"Ha, you really thought someone would nominate you let alone vote for you?" Jeff asked in amusement.

"What are you talking about freak?" Randy asked starting to lose his patience.

"I'm the one who nominated you! I'm the one who switched the ballot box! The only reason that you won snow king was because I fixed the whole thing." Jeff answered with a smile of satifaction.

"Why the hell did you do that?" Randy asked still very confused.

"Well it 'was' an attempt to get you and Stacy back together until the Devil's rejects screwed up the whole thing." Jeff said as he raised his hand in frustration. "And as much as I hte to say this Stacy is in love with you and you make her happy and to see her that way again gave me a sense of peace. It felt good to know that I didn't completley destroy her. It's also good to know that is she goes off the deep end again it won't be because of me...it'll be all on you." Jeff explained happy with his efforts.

"Oh I see, so basically your not doing this for Stacy like you claim you are it's just a cover up for doing this for your own selfish reasons." Randy said pointing out his real intentions.

"No, I did this for Stacy but in the process I was rewarded."Jeff replied as Randy stared at him with uncertainty.

"Whatever, so are you gonna tell me what your brillant plan is to keep me out of jail?" Randy asked wishing he could smack that smirk off of Jeff's face.

Jeff smiled at Randy's question as he pulled out a ticket from his coat pocket.

"You like bus rides Randall?" Jeff asked with a grin as held up the ticket for Randy to see.

Randy stared at the ticket Jeff held up with all seriousness. He frowned as he snatched the ticket from Jeff's hand and knew what he had to do in order to protect himself, but most importantly to protect Stacy.

"My girls!" Stacy yelled as she ran to Amy and greeted her with a big hug, she then made her way to Trish and greeted her the same way as she did with Amy.

"Stacy! Your alright, I'm so glad." Trish squealed as the three girls burst into tears.

"Hey, hey...why are you guys crying?" Batista asked as he looked over at Amy.

"Because we love eachother..." Amy cried as Stacy rushed over to her and hugged her tightly.

"I love you guys soooo much..." Stacy said as she continued to cry.

"We love you too..." Trish cried as John looked at them as if he needed to toughen them up.

"Yo, yo...yall need to stop crying...or, or I'll start to get choked up, I love you guys too..." John began to cry with the girls as they cried even more.

Dave looked at John in shame and got up and pushed Amy and Trish's beds together so that they could all sit together. Stacy pulled both Trish and Amy into another hug as John Joined in and they all continued to cry.

"I swear I'll never go to another dance with Melina ever again!" John swore as the girls stopped crying and looked at him in confusion.

"And if you then I swear you'll be the one who gets thrown off a stage." Trish threatend him as she cried causing the girls to cry also.

"Oh my god I just realized something." Amy exclaimed as everyone stopped crying and wondered what she meant.

"What?" Stacy asked wiping away her tears.

"This whole traumatising experience made our friendship a whole lot stronger." Amy explained as a smile appeared on all of their faces.

"Well I guess what they say is true." Dave said as he pulled Amy next to him.

"And what is it that they say?" John asked curiously

"A great band simply known as poision once said 'Every Rose Has It's Thorn'" Dave said as every laughed at is lameness.

The five freinds sat together talking about all the good times instead of all the bad. Some stories told were funny and embarrasing, but it was a hell of a lot better than remembering what they had been through. They only good thing that came out of this was that they were all in it together through the good times and the bad.
