Everyone in the audience stared in awe at Stacy as Randy rubbed his face. John sat back in his chair with a satisfied smile, Stephanie and Chris debated wheather or not they should intervine. They decided against it and looked over at Adam who had gotten up and walked out of the ceremony. Randy continued to stare at Stacy who now had tears building up in her eyes.
"Stacy why did you do that?" Randy asked still rubbing his face.
"You can't do this to me! why did you have to come back now? why couldn't you just stay where you were? why did you have to ruin this for me?" Stacy yelled with fury as Randy looked at her in confusion.
"I said I would come back." Randy yelled with anger.
"Your a little late." Stacy said softly and she ran off stage and off into the distane.
Randy watched Stacy as she ran away wondering why she wasn't happy that he was back. Eveyone in the crowd looked up at a confused Randy in silence. Mr.Mcmahon got to the mic and continued to call out names and Randy walked off stage and sat with his friends.
"Welcome backOrton." Chris said as he shook Randy's hand.
"Why isn't Stacy happy that I'm back?" Randy asked in confusion.
Everyone stayed silent hoping that his question would go unnoticed, but Trish felt Randy deserved to know what was going on.
"Well lets see, as soon as you left your name was cleared and still didn't come back and after a while Stacy got tired of waiting, so she made other plans for her free time." Trish explained as everyone wished they didn't have to be there when Trish told him the rest of the story.
"What plans?" Randy asked as his head shot up. Trish stayed quiet and looked at everyone who refused to say anything. "Trish! What plans?" Randy repeated as Trish sighed in sadness.
"Randy she's leaving when summer's over." Trish answered hesitantly.
"To college right? It's just down the street from here." Randy replied sounding pathetic.
Everyone remained quiet and looked at the ground beneath them.
"Actually Randy she's not gonna go to college, not for at least a year." Trish said trying her hardest not to cry.
"So she'll spend a year off here, why are you making it sound like she's running away?" Randy asked still very confused.
"Well in a way she is running away. Randy she and Adam are planning on spending a year together. They're gonna see the world and just escape reality for a little while." Trish's heart broke having to say those things, but he needed to know the truth.
Randy's face of confusion faded away and was replaced with sadness and heartache.
"But she knew I was coming back...she was supposed to wait for me." Randy said as his voice filled with disappointment.
"Randy her heart ached for you everyday that you were gone, no one knows that more than us. And when Adam came along and put a smile on her face that no one else could, it made her happy again." Amy said as she rubbed his back.
"Your kidding me right? Why can't any of you see that Adam is just a cover up? Stacy doesn't want to be with him, she wants to be with Randy. She's angry right now, yeah he made her laugh a couple of times but I guareentee you that she was imaginig Randy making her smile, not Adam!" John stated out of frustration.
"I have to find Stacy." Randy said as he got up from his seat and ran in the direction that Stacy had ran into.

The graduation ceremony was over and Chris and Stephanie were sitting on top of his car holding hands and staring off into the sunset. Chris and Stephanie sat in silence waiting for the other to speak. This was possibly the last day that they would have together and it was killing them that they would possibly never see eachother again. Sadly Stephanie's future had already been decided for her the day she was born and she had no choice but to do what her family wanted. Stephanie was to be sent to Harvard University and complete years of Harvard Law and leave everything she knew behind to start her perfect new life. Chris' future was also already decided for him and he had no choice but to obey his families goals for him. Chris' family had decided that he was going to go to USC and major in Pshycology and work towards being some type of doctor, which Chris was totally against but his parnets would hear non of it. Stephanie had begged and begged her mother and father to let her stay and go to the University there as but so far nither one of her parents showed any sign of changing their minds, Stephanie had even stopped speaking to her father and it had been that way for a month now. Stephanie held on tighter to chris at the thought of never seeing him again. Chris looked down at her and shut his eyes tightly wishing that they could stay that way forever, but apart of them knew that was never going to happen.
"I love you." Stephanie whispered and kissed Chris' cheek. She pulled away from him and ran away in tears.
Chris didn't try and stop her because it would hurt him too see her that way. He didn't want the last image of her to be her in tears. The sad thing about this whole thing was that all they wanted was to be together and nither one of them had any control to try and make that happen. Chris wipped his sad tears away and got in his car, there was only one way to make sure that he and Stephanie could be together and not let anyone interferre in there lives, there was only one way to make sure that there parents had no control over their lives ever again, the only problem was that he needed to know that Stephanie loved him and trusted him enough to put their love to the ultimate test...marriage.

John and Trish laid together on her bed as John tried out some new rapes as Trish listened happily and smiled at some of his umrhyming lyrics.
"So is this what your going for?" Trish asked as she raised an eyebrow.
"What are you talking about?" John asked looking up at her with a gleam in his eye.
"Rapping, is that what you want to do?" Trish asked innocently proud of his goal in life.
"Yeah, I just want to get through college. Oh I didn't tell you." John exclaimed with happiness filling his tone.
"Tell me what?" Trish asked anxious about his news.
"Well 2 months ago I applied for an intership at the Power 106 radio station and I got it!" John declared smiling uncontrolably.
"Oh my gosh John! I am so happy for you." Trish gushed excitedly with John's news as she gave him a big hug.
"Thank you baby that means a lot to me." John replied kissing her cheek.
"So when do you start?" Trish asked getting back to comfortable place on the bed.
"Next week actually." John said sitting beside her.
"Soooooo, are you nervous?" Trish continued to questioned her glowing boyfriend.
"Ummm...no not really, I just really hope I don't screw this up." John answered with a bit of confidence.
"Trust me, you won't. I won't let you." Trish said as she kissed John gently.
John kissed her back and laid her back on the bed not once breaking their passionate kiss. As John continued to kiss Trish only one thought played through his mind over and over again, he loved this woman with all his heart and would make sure she shared all of his success with him, Trish was definatley a keeper.

Stacy sat on top of the roof of her old abandond house, she had always considered this her quiet place...her safe place. There were only two people who knew about this place, John and Randy and this was the first place Randy had thought to look for Stacy. He climbed up the ladder and saw the back of Stacy's blonde head. He walked up behind her and took a seat beside her and looked out at the small town they called home.
"I thought you left me and you were never going to come back." Stacy said softly as she continued to stare at the town beneath her.
Randy put his hands together and looked down at them. It felt so good to hear her soft voice again.
"I thought that you were happier away from me, I thought you didn't want me anymore." Stacy cried as she cradled herself.
Randy looked up at her and stared at her beauty for a brief moment. He sighed and moved Stacy's body closer to his.
"It was hard for me to come back." Randy replied as he sighed once more.
"Why?" Stacy asked as her eyes met with his.
"I couldn't face anyone, especially not you. I didn't want to come back to you thinking I was a coward for running away." Randy explained as Stacy looked over his perfect features.
"You wanna hear something funny?" Stacy asked as Randy nodded. "I'm proud of what you did, it wasn't cowardly of you at all. Because I know that if that were me you would protect me in any way you could. I understand why you didn't come back, but I don't understand why you didn't trust how I felt about you." Stacy said looking at the trees that were in front of them.
"I don't know, why didn't you trust me?" Randy retorted as Stacy looked up at him with confusion.
"What?" Stacy asked confused at his question.
"Were you or were you not planning on going away with Adam Copeland when summer ended?" Randy asked wanting her to answer truthfully.
"Yes, but that's only becaue y-" Stacy spoke but was cut off by Randy.
"Because I wasn't back yet." Randy finished as Stacy turned around in shame.
"Looks like I turned out to be the coward, huh?" Stacy said "I honestly don't think I would have been able to go. I'm sure I would have backed out at the last minute. Because I really did feel like you would come back, I just didn't want you to come back to find to see me waiting. I didn't want you to look at me and think I was being desperate and pathetic. I didn't want you to see that you have that much of an effect on me." Stacy replied happy that she finally let the love of her life know how much she really loved him.
"I picked up the phone everyday the last week I was in Boston and I dialed your number, but every time I heard that sweet voice of yours I hung up. Apart of me didn't want to know what I had missed in that time that I was gone. And the thing with Adam was exactly the thing I was afraid to come back to." Randy confessed as a small smiled formed on the face of Stacy Keibler.
Stacy lifted Randy's face ti meet with hers. She leaned in and placed a sweet kiss on his lips. Randy closed his eyes and welcomed Stacy's love. She pulled away and looked into his eyes.
"I love you." Stacy whispered as she pushed her forehead against Randy's.
"I love you too sweetheart." Randy said with same gentleness as hers.
