Chapter 3: Moving, Temporarily?

Ashleigh wasn't home at all during the 3 days John was gone. In fact, she was at her best friend Mercedes house. Mercedes was Ashleigh's first cousin, but they lived together when they were little, and they lived down the road from each other all through grade and high school. They were so close that they even called each other sisters. In fact, Mercedes was only 9 days older than Ashleigh. She had told Mercedes everything that had happened between her and John so far and at first, she didn't believe her. But today John had come home and once he found out that Ashleigh was at her friends' house, he phoned them. Then she believed her.

She was still a little heart-broken but it was wearing off slowly; so John told her he'd help her get her stuff from Matt's whenever she felt she was ready to, and once she found a place to stay…

"Oh my god, Ash! John Cena is going to be in my house!" M's asked very excitedly.

"Yes, I know. Just don't act like I did the first time I saw him."

"And how would that be? Over-excited, hyper, walking around the house going "oh my god, oh my god, oh my god"."

"Aha that's EXACTLY how I reacted."

"Oops, my bad."

"Um, M's?"

"Ya..?"

"Uh, John's here"

"Shit! How do I look?"

The doorbell rang. And instead of answering Mercedes question, she answered the door.

"Hey Ash!"

"JOHNNY!" Ashleigh jumped on him and gave him a hug.

"Ya, I usually get that reaction when I walk into a room."

"So whose this very pretty young lady that I haven't been introduced to?" John asked.

"Oh, right. Sorry, I got so excited that you were finally back that I forgot to introduce you. John-this is my very best friend and relation-Mercedes. Mercedes-well you know who he is-John Cena."

They said hi to each other and got acquainted before John got up and told Ashleigh that they had to take Randy back to the airport so he could leave.

"Later, M's! I'll see ya sooner than you think."

"…and I'll tell John that I'm living here till I find my own place" Ashleigh added in a whisper with a wink.

"Yes, nice to meet you…'M's'." John said.

"Ya, right back atcha cowboy. See ya later, Ace."

Once they had gotten back into John's car, he asked "Ace? What the hell kinda name is that?"

"Well me n M's are really close and we used to live together and we're first cousins, but we're so close we call each other sisters. So anyways, we played cards a lot, and I cheated all the time, to win of course. But Ace is better than 'Oh Mighty Queen of Cheating' as she used to call me.

"Not very exciting story, huh?"

"Oh, and uh…John?"

"Ya?" he asked, looking at her quickly before locking his eyes back on the road.

"I found a place to stay till I find my own." she said a little hesitantly but enthusiastic.

"Oh. Uh. That's cool. Who with?" he asked slowly.

"With M's! It's gonna be so much fun!" she squealed with delight. But then toned down her excitement after looking at John and see him with a somewhat crushed look on his face. It was weird to see him look like that. 'I've only known the dude for 5 days, so why the hell should he care about where I move?' she thought. And the rest of the drive to John's was spent in awkward silence. Too bad Mercedes and John live 40 minutes away from each other.

Later on that day, Ashleigh and John found themselves meeting Mercedes in front of the house Ashleigh used to live in. As soon as John pulled into Matt's driveway, Ashleigh instantly ran out of his car and attempted to hug hers.

"Oh my god! My baby!"

"Nice to see the bastard hasn't touched it!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! This is your car?"

"Yes! It's my 2004 Tiburon GT Tuscani. Not that piece of shits! He drives some old beater and thinks he looks cool in it."

"Well, we'll check it out later. Right now I'll call Randy, cause he's in town and we'll git er done!"

"Um, ok there Johnny boy. Whatever you say!" And with that she saluted him and walked away to break the so called 'awful' news to Mercedes.

He had to laugh at her silly little antics. She was just too funny.

They waited for Randy to show up, and when he did John was trying to hurry them up but it wasn't really working.

"Ok, you guys know each other, so let's get moving! The sooner we start, the sooner we'll get outta here."

"Ya, but John, Randy and M's don't know each other! Duh!"

"Ok, smartass, then go ahead and introduce them. Like I said before - "the sooner we start, the sooner we'll get outta here."."

Once everybody was introduced and they all knew each other, they finally started moving. The 'awfulness' of Randy being there seemed not too awful to Mercedes. She actually liked him! But for some reason…

Randy kept checkin' out Ashleigh all day. Whether it was just walking around or whenever she bent over to pick something up. It sickened John. Now, I'm not saying that he wasn't doing the same thing; I'm just saying he wasn't being anywhere's near as cocky and obvious as Randy was being.

Quite a while later, they had moved practically everything into the girls' house now, and were currently packing clothes from Ashleigh's old room.

"I call the underwear drawer!"

"Randy, let the girl pack her own clothes!" John remarked. Although he had to admit, he wanted to do the underwear drawer as well. Probably just because he saw what kind of underwear she wore on the first night they met, when John put her in dry clothing. But he wouldn't let her know.

"So, Ash, how about you sit on my lap and see what pops up?"

"Shut it asshole." she remarked and her and M's left the room.

"Randy that was totally uncalled for, man. You know…I was gonna ask if you wanna come stay over for another few days 'till you have to go back, but Ash won't let you now!"

"Shit! You're kidding me! John, you have to let me stay. If you don't, I might just have to kick your ass!"

"Oh, really Rans? I'd like to see you try. You may be in the WWE, but I'm the champ. So bring it on little boy!" John said sarcastically.

Then the girls walked back in the room.

"John, stop it. I need help in a room other than this one."

'Well, that wasn't obvious at all, Ash! Way to go!' she thought to herself. And having Mercedes laughing her ass off beside her wasn't helping either.

John had no clue where Ashleigh was taking him, but it ended up being a room that he hadn't explored yet because…well…he never even knew it existed.

"Wow, Ash."

Ashleigh had led him into her music room. She always went there when something was wrong, or when she was bored, or it could've just been that it was something she was somewhat working towards for a career.

"You own a grand piano?"

"No. It's a baby grand. And, I own it as of now."

"I like your thinking! So if it's now yours, then it's…?" he trailed off.

"Matt helped me buy it. I was short a few thousand dollars. But, now I have enough to pay him back and take it."

"So you can actually play this thing?"

"No, John. I bought it for decorational purposes. Nice to look at, huh?"

"Ha ha very funny. Play something for me."

She sat down and started playing the intro. to What's Left Of Me by Nick Lachey.

"Wow, Ash. That's amazing. You're really good. We're taking it! Randy, get your ass in here and help me!"

Randy walked in, defeated, and mumbling something under his breath. It was something along the lines of "You pain in the ass. Doesn't even say please!"

"So you guys take the piano, while us girls grab my guitar and all my other crap."

"You play the guitar too? Well, you're just a little musical wonder, aren't ya?" John stated.

"Um…yeprs…" But there was one thing that she was refraining from saying, and M's knew it too. But they didn't want the guys to know it, yet so they just played it cool, as if nothing was wrong.

"Ya, full of hidden talents, aren't ya, darlin'?"

"Randy…!"

"Just move the piano, will ya guys?"

"Ok. If I were 2 sets of car keys, where would I be?"

Ashleigh had been looking for her car keys for about the past half hour and couldn't find them anywhere.

"Ash, they're always in the last place you look." John called.

"Well of course they are! Why the fuck would I keep looking AFTER I've found them, dumbass?"

"Ok! That's it! No more bitch pills for you, Miss. Crabby Ass!"

"John, I'm warning you - Don't fuck with me."

"Ok! Warning taken! I get it, I get it!"

"Good. Now back to the keys…"

"Lookin' for these…?"

"Randy, you found them! Yay! Thanks, Hun."

Randy instantly had a grin on his face.

"Randy, why are you standing there, grinning like a fool?"

"Did you just here what she called me? She called me 'Hun'. She's got it bad for me and she just won't admit it."

"Randy, first of all - she calls everyone 'Hun'. And second - I would be too embarrassed to admit I liked you, too!"

"Ya, ya. Sure, John! Whatever."

"We better get going to give Ashleigh some time to say good-bye, Rans, so go find M's. Ash, we'll meet ya at your house, ok?" John yelled.

"Well…I guess it's just you and me now. God, I'm gonna miss you. Not the person I used to live with though. He was the biggest lie ever. Matt was such a joke! Whatever. I'm just glad he's not here now. He'd probably still try to smash my face in again. Good-bye! I'll miss you, you beautiful house. I'll never see you again…at least, I hope not."

She ran out of the house in tears, and into her car. She pulled out of the driveway, put it in drive and sped off as fast as she could, all the way to her new "home."
