Chapter 6: Won't Take Too Long To Find My Own Way.
What seemed like forever, Torrie and John stood right in front of each other. It actually felt like forever had started. It felt like hours had zoomed past, but it had only been a few minutes since they had met again unexpectedly.
If anything was fate trying to tell them something, wherever they turned….both John and Torrie somehow find themselves looking back at each other.
Torrie tucked a chuck of her blonde hair behind her right ear, her eyes gazed down at the folder that was between her hands.
John was the one that plucked up the courage to talk first. "We meet again" his handsome dimples surfaced in his cheeks.
Torrie nodded while she let herself grin right back. "So we do" When he smiled, she couldn't help but just smile back.
John and Torrie gazed at one another for a few moment. Grace Cena was standing there waiting to be told what to do?
Grace's eyes followed up, to see the spark between John and Torrie. Of course being young, Grace didn't understand about a attraction…but she knew all about fairytales so maybe something special was going on with her brother and this young girl standing before her.
Grace tugged on John's black coat. "I'm bored"
Torrie cleared her throat, gazing away from his eyes. She came from the desk and looked at Grace. "Hi Grace, I'm Miss Wilson but you can call me Torrie okay? Sorry guys usual greeting policy" Torrie spoke.
John nodded his head standing beside his sister.
"Okay sweetheart, why don't you put your coat on this hook. The other girls are playing why don't you go and join them" Torrie said pleasantly.
Grace took off her coat, Torrie hung it on the hook with the other girls. Torrie gave her a sweet smile, but even Torrie could see how shy and nervous Grace was.
"Darling it's alright, they are just in the play room" Torrie spoke.
Grace looked over at Torrie, before she turned back to John. She wrapped her arm around John not wanting to let go.
"Grace, it's alright you'll be fine" John assured but Grace didn't let go.
"Emm….she's very shy"
Torrie nodded, softly smiled "Yeah,"
"Darling, you'll be alright go on" John tried but Grace didn't want too.
"No I'm scared, don't want too" Grace shook her head.
John let in a soft breath, feeling his frame up with air before he released that same breath. "Grace, sweetheart you'll be fine. Meet some new friends"
Grace kept hold of John. "Can you stay with me?" she asked, and somehow she wasn't the only one that wanted John to stay here.
"Emm don't think I'll be suitable for it"
Torrie giggled brushing back her blonde hair. "You can stay if you want, I mean if Grace would feel more comfortable you being here?" Torrie asked.
"You sure that'll be alright?" John asked.
"Sure" Torrie smiled.
"You won't get into trouble" John said not wanting to cause any trouble for Torrie.
Torrie looked at John. "Who with?"
"Your boss?" John asked with Grace still holding onto his arm.
"I am the boss, I call the shots here" Torrie smiled on.
John slowly nodded his head "Oh okay, wow…so you own this place?"
"My own creation" Torrie let out that beautiful white smile that attracted Cena in the first place.
Wow this girl was definitely full of surprises? If Torrie didn't already blow his mind, she had just done it again.
"Wow that's impressive" Cena grinned back at Torrie.
Torrie glanced back at him, with her eyes gazing at John's grin. She could see the dimples in his cheeks. All she could do is just fall, and think just how cute he is when he smiles. When he smiled, Torrie couldn't help but smile back, something inside of her just made her smile.
"Thanks,"
John smiled once more back at Torrie before he noticed Grace was still attached his arm. "Grace, you can let go now I'm staying"
Grace smiled and clapped "Yay!" she smiled, she hugged John.
The beautiful smile appearing on Torrie's face, shown Grace wasn't the only one that was happy with that news.
"She's very attached to you isn't she?" Torrie asked.
John stared at Torrie. "Yeah, we're very close"
Torrie smiled. "That's really sweet, right well let's get this show on the road" Torrie walked down the hall way with Grace and John.
Torrie opened the door, and there was about ten girls all sitting around talking, they were quite young ages of 5+. John was watching on as Torrie was playing, talking to the girls. There was so many different activities. There was a play room, a quiet place to read books, there was a small kitchen and a art room.
"Right girls this is Grace, she's new so I'm sure we'll all make her feel welcome" Torrie smiled.
The girls in the club called Imagination all came up to Grace, and greeted her. It only took minutes that Grace was making new friends, and talking to the girls.
Some were painting, some were reading. Anything they wanted to do….they did it.
John was watching on as Grace was reading a storybook with a few friends, they were giggling. Seeing the smile on his sister's face brought the handsome grin on her brothers face. It was good to see her settling in.
John turned his head and saw Torrie was getting some paints out of the cupboard.
"So how long have you running this?" John asked.
Torrie locked up the cabinet and placed the paints down on the table. "About a year and a half now"
"Wow that's really good"
"Yeah I'm proud of it, you know the girls have something to do and a great place to meet new friends. It's like school just not with lessons and teachers you do whatever you want…if we've got it" Torrie explained.
John nodded understanding. "It's great, gotta say I'm definitely impressed" John chuckled while Torrie looked on with a smile.
"Thanks, I was always wanted something like this when I was younger. So very proud that I could do something like this" Torrie explained.
"My dad owns the building, but everything else is my own hard work"
"So you come here every day after school?"
"No it's only open Tuesdays and Fridays. I keep asking Suzie to come here but she doesn't want too"
"Does Wade know about it" John asked.
Hearing the name of her boyfriend, made the thought of the offer that Wade had given John earlier on, about joining up with Nexus. If Torrie was honest she felt torn, because half of her would love to be able to close to John…but the other half knew it would be a complete nightmare.
One thing Torrie knew for sure, she never wanted John to get hurt. She had the inkling that somewhere down the line, her eyes would have to see that.
"Emm yeah he does but he doesn't get involved in it. If anything this is the only time I'm actually fr….away from them" Torrie spoke while she walked up to the cabinet.
John nodded while he looked at Torrie. Torrie opened the metal doors and reached up to the grab some paper. John watched on, noticing things were about to fall down…they would be falling on Torrie's head.
"Here let me" John walked up to the door. Torrie stood back and watched John grab the papers on the high up shelve.
Torrie stood at the side, her eyes seem to be like moths to a flame. Her emerald eyes saw John stretch up, so he could reach the papers on the high up shelve. She saw the black belt that was around the hoops of his blue jeans, with the slightest image of his lower midsection, she could see the faint abs forming as he breathed.
Torrie came back to the real world when John turned back to her, holding the sheet of papers for the art room.
"Oh thanks" Torrie thanked John.
"Where do you want it?" John asked.
Torrie blinked her eyelashes down for a second before she looked back at John. "On the table will be fine" Torrie spoke.
John walked to the small table, he put the paper down. He turned back to see Torrie closing the cabinet door, after getting out the art essentials.
"So I got a interesting offer earlier" John chuckled gently, someone had to break the ice and talk about that conversation.
Torrie nodded her head "Yeah you should count yourself lucky, he doesn't offer something like that to just anyone"
"So…"
"I can't remember the last time, I don't think…there has ever been a time…"
John lowered his head for a moment feeling his eyelashes touched gently underneath his eyes.
He looked back up. "So….what do you think I should do?"
"Why are you asking me?" Torrie asked.
"Just wanted your advice" John shrugged his shoulders.
Torrie brushed back her golden blonde hair onto her shoulders, with her back to John. "My advice?" Torrie asked.
"I would appreciate it yeah" John spoke in a softer voice.
Torrie heard the soft voice belonging to her newfound crush. Torrie looked back at John. Her emerald eyes glanced at him, she could see the beautiful blue shade in his eyes, see the handsome facial features in his face, brown hair with the front part sticking up slightly making him look even more attractive.
A question he just asked, she didn't really want to answer. Her heart could ring true more than her mind. John had to make the right decision…for himself…not just because she feels herself falling for the newcomer.
"I'll say one thing…be sure that it's what you really want because once you are in…it's impossible to find a way out" Torrie spoke softly. "Trust me I'm speaking from experience"
"You want out?"
Torrie let in a soft sigh. Did she want out? Hmmm…let's see. Yes.
"More than anything"
"Also don't make your decision…..just because you want to be close to someone. I wanted to be close to Wade, back then I was so in love with Wade…and well let's just say I got more than I was bargained for" Torrie explained.
John glanced at Torrie for a moment before he nodded his head understanding. "Thanks" Torrie gave one more smile before she walked away.
John stood there, he listened to the advice from Torrie. It did help him…but still he thought of the possibilities, lying out both choices. Did it help with his decision.
Not really.
"John! John! You have to come and meet my friends!" Grace dragged her brother along.
"Okay, okay don't have to drag me" John spoke, still with a lot on his mind.
"John, this is Lindsey, Becky and Claire" Grace introduced.
John smiled waving, while Torrie watched on in the background with a smile across her face.
"Hi girls" John grinned.
"Hi!"
"Can we use you as a climbing frame?"
John shook his head "No"
Torrie watched on with a amused smile across her face. She really had fallen for John, something about him just made her feel like she had wings, and she can fly away. No matter how upset she felt, he could still find some way to make her smile again. When John was around, Torrie felt like she can be free.
She caught John's smile while he talked to the girls with Grace. She could see the blindness from his white teeth. He just had everything she ever desired.
Torrie continued to stare in the background, John caught her and just let the dimples show in his cheeks when he smiled at her. Her head lowered down before she perked back up to the side, running her fingertips softly through her golden blonde locks.
She just gazed right back for a moment before she felt her cheeks stretch into her own wonderful smile.
True To Your Heart, that's what you do in life. You listen, follow your heart…follow the path, that is lied in front of you. Your heart is the only place that will be true. Open your eyes, your heart will tell you no lies.
Torrie was a dreamer, she was a princess at heart….always wanting what her heart desires. One problem…..she belongs to another, someone that can turn out to be very dangerous as the story unfolds.
Torrie was falling for John Cena. Falling hard….and very rapidly.
That could have very serious consequences for not only her, but for John as well once they find themselves powerless to each other with no way back.
…..
"Michelle! What are you doing?" Layla quickly ran up to her friend.
"Bringing Princess Barbie down a peg or two" Michelle walked.
Layla watched on with concern seeing Michelle in the direction of where Wade Barrett and Nexus were standing.
"Michelle, think about this"
"I am thinking clearly, she don't deserve any of it. I'm the most prettiest here in this school, I could be Wade's girlfriend" Michelle spoke.
If only she knew what price to pay? Yes you would have the limelight, be centre of attention…but Torrie knew fully well but other sacrifices you have to make to become the Girl of Nexus.
You have to sacrifice….friends, turn back on exactly who you are…become something, you know deep down you are not. Have to look in the mirror, and know the reflection you see in front is nothing but a reflection of lies.
And now…potentially have to give up your true love….and have to come to terms with the fact, you can dream but as long as you are bind…no dreams can come true.
If only Michelle knew that. That's what the disguise is of the gift of being a girl of Nexus.
"What?"
"Then I'll run the school with him, it will be great. Torrie will become one of those losers" Michelle spoke.
Layla caught up with her "Do what exactly?"
"Tell her about Torrie and John. You saw them in art class the other day"
"Chelle, I don't think…..that's good idea" Layla pressed to stop her friend.
"Oh stop worrying, I deserve it all."
"I thought you liked John Cena?" Layla spoke.
"I do but I'd rather have the spotlight than that" Michelle said.
Layla just rubbed her temple, thinking this could seriously send off fireworks.
"Hi Wade" Michelle spoke.
Wade Barrett turned around. "What do you want?" he asked quite bluntly.
Michelle bit her lip gently "I don't mean to cause any trouble but I think there's something you may want to know"
"What?" Wade asked.
"It's about Torrie"
Wade suddenly became very interested. "What about her?"
"I was in art class and she was being very friendly with John Cena, I mean they look very close" Michelle spoke, adding more fire…
Wade looked at her. "Come with me" Wade grabbed Michelle by the arm.
"What did you see?"
Michelle bit her lip again. "I saw…Torrie and John talking, they were very close…I mean very close. I know Torrie is with you…I really don't want to cause any trouble" Michelle said trying to be innocent.
Wade eyed her, he couldn't't help but the jealously rose in his eyes. Hearing Torrie and John in the same sentence he hated it.. But he couldn't't break his mask because of what he had planned for the future.
Wade took in a breath. "I can't believe this" he sighed.
Michelle continued to shine in innocence. "I know, I mean I couldn't't believe what I saw…."
Wade rubbed his temple, breathing a little more deeper. Michelle came forwards and placed her hand on Wade's arm, the moment he looked into Michelle's eyes he knew exactly what she was planning.
Wade turned his head to Michelle, a smirk went on his face. He twirled a strand of Michelle's hair, "Thank you for telling me Michelle, maybe…I need someone more like you" he gently whispered.
Michelle smiled as she put her hand on Wade's face "Maybe you do" suddenly Michelle found herself thrown to the wall of the classroom by her wrist. She went to escape but Wade's slammed his hand on the wall cornering the young girl.
Wade got in her face. "I see right through you"
Michelle gulped in fear seeing the evil look in Wade's eyes.
"You want to be the girl don't you, centre of attention…so you make up lies….you make a fool out of me" Wade spoke sharply.
Michelle shook her head multiple times. "No, No…" Wade silenced her with a finger on her lips.
"Shh" Wade spoke, Michelle closed her eyes trying to keep herself calm.
"I just…wanted to…"
"Spread lies, I don't like lies…they can be very dangerous" Wade said quite deeply, scaring Michelle half to death.
Wade came closer to the school girl, with a smirk on his face. "In the wrong hands" he ran his fingers through her bright blonde hair.
Michelle couldn't mutter another word, she was terrified for her own safety. She had every right to be, no one knew except Torrie…just how viscious and dark Wade Barrett can be.
"I don't like lies, I…sure as hell do not like! People making a fool out of me" Wade grabbed Michelle's arms before clasping a grip around the girl's throat.
Michelle's eyes went wide being choked, tears sprang to her eyes while she felt her throat being cut off air supply "I'm….sorry….I…."
"What did you see? Really see Michelle" Wade released Michelle.
Michelle coughed slightly. "N….othing…they were…talking….but they looked close…that is the bit I wasn't lying about…I mean….they could become close…" Fearful Michelle spluttered, while holding onto the throat.
Wade's eyes lightened up. Maybe there was so truth to this? "Hmm…really" he said in a calm, creepy sort of way.
"Not…lying…" Michelle shivered.
Wade turned back to her, he came closer. Her eyes shut feeling like she was going to be hurt again. Wade came ever so close, in the face of Michelle. He gently stroked her blonde hair while she stood there absolutely terrified in what he was going to do.
Wade placed a gentle kiss on Michelle's lips. A smile went across his face. "Thank You Michelle, for bringing that to my attention"
Michelle continued to stand there, with chills down her spine. Almost shaking in fear. Maybe she had a newfound respect for Torrie…if she puts up with that….
Wade backed up from Michelle. "You can go now" Michelle grabbed her bag and almost ran out the door, in complete fright.
Layla was out in the hall, Michelle ran over to her. "Lay. I'm going home. Don't feel good"
Layla looked on very confused. "What?" Layla asked, but Michelle just gone down the hall way.
John Cena was standing by the locker as she watched Michelle run as fast as she could fly. John breathed in a breath preparing himself for what he was about to do. Normally he wouldn't be too involved but seeing the look on Michelle's face, told him something had happened.
John walked up to Layla. "Hey Layla"
The young girl turned, and immediately smiled "Oh hi John" she spoke, carrying her school books up to her chest.
"Is Michelle okay? She left quicker than she could fly" John spoke.
"Chelle? Oh…yeah she wasn't feeling very well"
John arched his eyebrow while curiosity settled in his facial features. "Oh alright then"
Layla smiled up at John.
"You didn't notice anything a little strange did you?"
"Well Chelle would be crying if she found a split end"
John slowly nodded his head but he couldn't help but think there was more to this.
Layla shrugged. "She did say she was going to talk Wade," that got John to turn back to Layla, but the young girl seem to be more interested in her manicured nails then her friend.
"Why did she go and talk to him for?" John asked.
Layla shrugged "I don't know,"
"Don't you think it's a little strange that Michelle went to talk to Wade, and then suddenly she is running out of school in a state?" John asked.
Layla blinked before she opened her compact mirror, looking at her appearance.
"Layla"
"Yes"
"Don't you find it a little weird?"
"I always look in the mirror" Layla spoke closing the mirror back up, hearing the clip.
John closed his eyes for a split second before he felt his frame fill up with air, and then release through his lips.
"No….Michelle, your best friend just ran out of school…" John reminded.
"Oh yeah that was a little strange, I'll talk to her after school. She'll be fine" Layla spoke.
John just glanced at Layla, he seemed to be more concerned about Michelle than Layla was. "Sure…okay" John walked on, putting the puzzle silently into place.
Wade and Michelle talk? Next Michelle is running out in a frightened mess.
"Wait, wait John" Layla caught up with John.
Cena turned back around and faced Layla.
"Michelle told Wade about you and Torrie in art class the other day"
John looked on "What about us? Nothing happened?"
"Well that's not Michelle saw"
John listened to Layla, he registered what she had just told him. The welfare of Torrie sprung in his mind. The last thing he wanted was for Torrie to get hurt. If Michelle was in floods of tears because of a confrontation with Wade, what on earth would he do to Torrie? Now John would be very concerned.
John walked on, he had an important decision to make today. He had to give Wade his answer about joining Nexus. Could he become one of them?
Falling for the girl of Nexus…could have serious consequences. A price to pay for him.
What is the right decision.
Soon all will be revealed..
…...
"Mexico,…California….Switzerland…" Cody kept listing places
"Is there a reason why you're listing places?" Ted asked, while the usual group all sat on the patch of grass in lunch.
Cody pushed his head back, while Eve was lying in his arms with her head resting on his chest.
"Just listing places I think maybe I could start a new life" Cody spoke.
"What? Leave me here?" Eve looked up at her boyfriend.
"No…sweetie, you can come with me" Cody kissed Eve's temple.
"Cody, no one is going anywhere" Randy spoke.
"Well a headstart…"
"No one is going anywhere," Randy repeated.
"Cody has a point, Randy….what if John does join Nexus. We are screwed" Ted spoke.
"Exactly, and it's not what if…it's when he does" Cody reminded.
"We are screwed,"
Kelly lowered her head down, Randy caught the look from the blonde. He saw the disheartened, silent look across his friends face. "Okay listen to me, no one is going anywhere alright I'm not letting anyone be forced to move away because of those idiots…okay" Randy blurted out.
From Randy's words, everyone in the group went quiet when they all remembered another girl that was in their group, she was not Torrie. Another blonde sweetheart.
Randy lowered his head down, "Not again" the flash of a memory went in his mind, when a beautiful smile went through his mind.
A sense of missing washed over Randy's body. He straighten his back. "Okay, no one is going anywhere"
Ted bit his lip gently, while the silence had overcome the group. "Has anyone heard anything from…?"
Everyone in the group exchanged glances, before Randy just shook his head. "Nothing" a soft mutter came from Randy.
…...
Torrie stood up from her seat, she zipped up her handbag. Brushing her fingers through the side of her hair. Torrie turned only to come face to face with someone she knew, oh so familiar.
"Hi darling" Wade said to his girlfriend.
Torrie stood there, a little startled since Wade never meets her after class so what was different about today is what the young girl wondered.
Wade continued to stare at his beautiful girlfriend, the fresh news that has been brought to his attention by a potential rival of Torrie's.
"Hi….what's going on?" Torrie asked, Wade walked closer placing a soft kiss on her lips.
Torrie's eyes watched Wade took a step back. "Nothing I thought I would meet you here, something has come to my attention" Wade said quite calmly.
Torrie glanced at him, brushing her hair with her fingertips. She tried not to act like she was nervous wreck right now.
"Oh what's that?" Torrie asked. She couldn't recongnise the expression of her boyfriend, her fear was he was going to snap at any moment.
Wade sat on the table, in front of Torrie. "I was just curious about something"
Torrie nodded her head, not able to come up with any words. Her worried eyes were showing how she felt right now. Because of Wade's temper, and his other much darker side…Torrie had become scared of her own shadow when she was around Wade.
When he wasn't kissing or just holding her….speaking like he is now….she was terrified. She looked like a scared little mouse.
Wade touched Torrie's golden blonde locks. "What do you think of John?"
Oh god! All Torrie could think about.
Torrie looked at Wade before she cleared her throat. "John?" acting like she doesn't really have any light on what Wade was talking about.
"Yes John, you know the new guy. John Cena" Wade spoke.
Torrie glanced at Wade, ignoring the racing in her heart. She tried to keep it all together from the outside of her frame, but inside…she was shaking like a leaf would in a cold, winter's day.
"Oh….I don't know…I haven't really been involved" Torrie spoke softly.
Wade looked at Torrie. "Really? That's not what I have heard"
Torrie stood there, feeling the heel of her boots almost breaking through the floor. Hearing what Wade had just said, made Torrie feel like she was about to sink, and drown.
Torrie covered her nerves with a soft grin on her innocent face, but her eyes were portraying how she felt within her frame. Torrie felt scared to death, she kenw what Wade was capable of…she may feel that in the next few minutes.
"Oh…."
"Michelle said you two were close in art class the other day" Wade told.
Torrie gulped down the lump in her throat, before she played with her fingertips. Chills were going up and down her spine. She could feel her own heart beating out of her chest.
"Well…."
Wade suddenly jumped off the table, causing Torrie to stumble back fearing her safety. In a way, her mind braced her for it to be shoved, and find herself on the floor after a shot of pain is inflicted. Normally that is what happens….
But this…time…Strangely enough, nothing happened.
"You're so jumpy, what's wrong?" Wade asked.
Torrie bit her lip gently, still hearing the thud in her chest. "I thought you would be angry at me?"
"Angry…I'm not angry…I think it's good, since Cena might take me up on my offer. It'll be nice that you have another friend wouldn't it?" Wade spoke.
Torrie slowly nodded her head.
"After all" That is when Wade came closer to Torrie. He grabbed her forearm, and the dark rose in his eyes, burning glare to his girlfriend. He pushed back her blonde hair, exposing her right ear so he could whisper a stern warning.
"You Belong To me, don't you?"
Torrie listened to the bold words from her boyfriend, the stern words were whispering in her ear. Torrie heard, the emotion what she felt she was going through, being trapped, becoming some kind of possession…reflected in her eyes.
The water of emotion rose in her eyes, with her head turned slightly. She already knew that, she had no escape. Torrie's mascara eyelashes lowered down, feeling the sense of belonging to someone else. She took in a soft but deep breath, and her eyes opened to show the reflection of watery emotion in her eyes.
"Yes" a soft mutter came from Torrie.
"Good"
Torrie lowered her head down once again, Wade put his hand on her cheek so she would look back at him. "So my advice to you is don't let anything get in the way….of your duties to me….don't let your heart rule your head…"
Torrie listened, did he already click on to her feelings for John?
"I would never let that happen" Torrie answered.
"Good" Wade grabbed a grip of her hair, she let out a soft yelp of pain.
"Because your duty to your heart could result in terrible consequences for not only you, but for someone else" Wade warned.
Torrie's lip slide apart, with a silent gasp of pain.
"You wouldn't want that would you?" Wade asked.
Torrie just shook head, "No" a timid voice spoke with tears in her eyes.
Wade smiled, brushing her blonde hair. He could turn into a gentleman into a horrible man in the split of a second. A reason why Torrie is too scared to even make a step out of line. Scared to even challenge him, so she would suffer in silence.
She was Terrified to raise her voice, standing up to Wade…once and for all.
Wade ran his fingers down Torrie's hair, before sliding his fingers on her cheek. "Good, I'm glad we sorted that out"
Wade gave her a soft kiss on the lips, Torrie's head titled back ever so slightly. Wade walked away from Torrie. "See you after school babe"
Torrie closed her eyes, when she felt the door close. Tears were still visible in her eyes. How did she get herself so caught up like this?
Torrie used her index finger, and gently brushed her fingertip underneath her eyes, to wipe away the tears that had fallen down. Her long lashes lowered down, still a little shaken up on what had just happened.
She had fallen for John, and found herself attracted whenever he was around. She felt like she couldn't keep away. If one harmless meeting with John, talking to him in class got her into trouble. What would Wade do to her if she found herself even closer to John.
Torrie didn't want to think about it, it was definitely dared thinking about. But what if she couldn't help it, what if Torrie ends up falling in love with John? What if she falls for the forbidden one? What if she goes against…it all and just follow her heart, despite the consequences.
She put her hands around her mouth, trying to calm herself down. She braced in a breath, holding it in, before releasing the breath between her lips. Torrie's fingers gripped in her golden blonde hair, holding the side of her hair lying on left side of her head.
Torrie released her locks from her fingers, her beautiful silk and mirror shine locks fell back to shape her face. Her lashes lowered down underneath her eyes for a moment thinking of what just happened.
A shadow of light was in her eyes, She hoped one day, she could escape Barrett and be free and live her life the way she wants too.
Her freedom, Her silver lining, her hopes and wishes were lying in one guy.
John Cena.
Could he just become another hero that falls.
…...
John Cena walked outside the school, he walked across the green field. His eyes were scanning for one person, because he knew if he saw that invidual he would be in the right place, to make his final decision.
John had made that decision. He had been thinking a lot and he did not care anymore…he had made the choice, and lord behold it. He will stick to his decision.
One reason, and one reason only….it's the right choice.
John continued walking, gaining a lot of far glances from different students. John came to a stop. His ocean blue eyes met the emerald innocent eyes of Torrie. She was sitting beside Wade, in silence. Her facial expression was relation to a china doll.
She can smile, but she can also break easily…that's how she felt…one day Torrie will reach her breaking point with Nexus.
Torrie looked up at John for a split second, before she nudged Wade to tell him. She then lowered her head down to the grass, feeling the swish movement in her golden blonde locks because of the gentle breeze of the day.
Torrie knew this was it. John Cena's decision.
"John, hello" Wade spoke.
John sighed softly "I haven't got time for small talk, I have made my decision"
Wade suddenly become very interested, so did Torrie. "Okay, what is your decision?"
John breathed once, before he let out one word. "No"
"No" Wade's voice went quite sharp and deep.
"I'm not going to join you guys, thank you for the offer but I think I'm fine finding my own way"
Wade listened to John, he didn't like it. Rejection never set well with the leader but he had to keep cool. "Oh I understand, it's a pretty big opportunity. You could become the centre of the bigger picture we are working on"
"I'm very appreciated of that, the offer you gave me. But I've never been one to follow orders like a sheep. No offence" John spoke to the rest of Nexus.
"None taken" Justin murmured back, while the rest did not look happy.
Wade glanced at John. "You are turning down a great opportunity John"
"I get that, but it won't take me long to find my own way and all. I know I'm new here but I think I'll be good without…N..exus"
"Well if that's the decision, then I am fine with it." Wade faked a smile.
John slowly nodded his head "See you around" he gave a secret smile to Torrie before he walked away. Torrie watched on helplessly as John just walked away. Her heart pined for a moment when it sunk.
Maybe she was never to be free…
"Torrie, I want you to go and say thank you to John" Wade instructed from his girlfriend.
Torrie turned her head, confusion rapidly rose in her eyes. Why the hell would Wade want her to do that for?
"Why?" Torrie asked.
Wade turned "Don't question, just do it" Wade spoke. Torrie saw the look on Wade's face. She could tell from his expression, it was some kind of nail in the coffin…that she would never be able to go around with John.
Torrie took in a single breath, before she stood up and went in the same direction as John.
Wade watched on with a sinster smirk across his face.
"Why did you do that for? Mind me asking?" David asked Wade.
Wade's smirk grew wider. "Just a little kick expense of my lovely but terchious gilfriend, part of the much, much bigger picture guys"
Torrie walked behind John, her fingers met her honey blonde hair. "John" Cena turned around hearing the sweetheart say his name.
Torrie glanced at him before her head lowered slightly, her fingertips massaged each other. The softness of her voice, told John how unhappy she was right now. "Wade wanted me to come here…and say thank you…and he hopes you settle in great" Torrie delivered the message.
John stood there staring at Torrie. It was that moment. Cena made another vow. The moment he witnessed the hidden emotion in Torrie's eyes. Like a ripple in a river….faint but he could still see it before his eyes.
"Thanks Torrie," John spoke.
Torrie looked at John for a moment. "You have something on your shoulder" John lied, using his hand he pulled Torrie closer to him.
"Are you alright?" He whispered.
Torrie stood there in silence hearing his soft whisper. Torrie's lashes lowered, feeling John's soft breath on her cheek.
"You ever need me, just call….I'll find you and protect you"
Hearing his heroic, strong words. Torrie allowed a heart warming smile to surface on her face. She looked at him once more, before she walked back to Wade. Luckily for her Wade didn't see the part where they close again.
John watched on, as Torrie returned back to Wade and Nexus. His eyes could see how trapped, and unhappy she looked. It stung a little in his chest, seeing someone that he had started to have some kind of deep feelings for…have sorrow in her eyes.
He had to help her somehow.
That was the moment, he made a promise….can he keep it or will he break it?
…...
John walked over to the group that was sitting on the grass talking.
"Hey"
Randy looked up at John. "John" his voice sounded slightly relieved.
Cena's eyes looked at the spot near Ted, that was open. "Is there room for one more?"
Randy's grin turned into a smile. John hadn't joined Nexus! There could be some light of hope in that dark, dank tunnel.
"Probably, we might need two" Ted joked.
John chuckled, Eve and Maryse were clapping on. Kelly had a smile cross her face before her head leaned on Randy's shoulder.
Cody just jumped up "Screw it!" he wrapped his arms around John in a hug.
"Welcome to the group!" Cody spoke delighted.
John just stood there a little freaked out as Cody kept on hugging him, acting like a kid on Christmas day.
Randy chuckled "You'll get use to him, Cody…let the guy sit down"
Cody released John and walked back to a starstruck Eve. She just stared at John with a smile and clapped. "John, we are so happy you're with us"
"You guys make it sound like some kind of cult"
"They just adore you, you'll get use to Eve and Maryse as well"
John looked over at the two girls. "Do they have to keep staring at me?" John asked with a chuckle.
Eve and Maryse just came forwards and hugged John. "Come on group hug" Eve encouraged, while Maryse hugging John from behind.
"Let's not" John spoke "I have a feeling I'll be trampled" he laughed on.
Kelly pulled Randy with her, as the group all shared hugs with their new member John Cena.
Torrie was sitting beside Wade, playing with her fingertips. She could hear laughter from where she was sitting. Wade was talking to the Nexus boys, croonies, goons…whatever you wanted to label them as.
Torrie's eyes wavered over to the laughter, she could see John was talking to Randy. He had obviously joined Randy's group.
Torrie watched on with a small grin across her face watching on, she had to admit. She loved what she saw. Such a sweet, friendly moment.
What she wouldn't give…to once again be part of that. Torrie would love nothing more to just go over there, and be with her real friends.
Instead of standing beside him, lying a lie…seeing the mirror of her reflection be nothing but a bunch of lies.
Maybe someday, she will get the chance to be free.
…..
John was listening to group talk, and laugh among each other. Just socialising with friends.
John had a smile across his face while he got involved. John knew it wouldn't take too long to find his own way, and he has done. He had been moved by his parents, to a place of the unknown…and now he was coming to terms and making the best of it.
That is what John was doing.
His ocean blue eyes turned, and noticed the beautiful Torrie sitting beside Wade, still in silence. Her head was lowered down. The sun was reflecting from her honey blonde hair, creating a mirror shine effect, silk and shine.
He kept glancing before he turned back to the group. He grinned, telling himself the promise he had. Will not stop, no matter what or the consequences. He will succeed….and won't stop until it's done.
Promise, a very simple one.
That promise was. Save her.
Free Torrie from The Nexus.
