Chapter 2-Deep Within.
One thing, just one simple wish Torrie hoped in her heart. That was….today to go perfectly, and already some things had gone wrong. Ever since she woke up, Torrie had been focused, on one thing.
Making today special, for her baby. John Cena. It's his 35th birthday, she wanted to put everything little ounce of effort she had to make it exactly what she knew he would love.
Torrie had almost tripped getting some last minute things, she had received a parking ticket as well. The blonde had decided to be positive, nothing will ruin this special night.
There's still a lot to happen, before that moment. Torrie hoped it would be a blip, nothing else would have gone wrong, that wasn't the case. Another blip happened, Torrie had dropped her wallet, her heel had broke.
Luckily, Torrie had got her wallet back when someone had handed it in. of course the money was missing but her credit cards, things were still in there. To be sure, Torrie had called the bank to make sure there's been no fraud, or cloning on her card. Everything was fine, so Torrie highlighted it to be another blip.
The honey blonde was focused on, tonight. Everything else would be pushed back to another day. Today was special for one reason.
Same reason, Torrie just couldn't wait for.
Her heart was holding on, to a moment where she would see her gorgeous boyfriend, John Cena tonight. She'd feel the light in her eyes when she sees the heart warming smile that made fall for him.
Let's not forget his baby blue eyes. Oh gosh, his eyes…with the smile. Small little factors that made Torrie fall in love with John all those years ago.
She couldn't wait for that moment, where you see someone you love with all your heart. Receive the greatest love of all. Sometimes, Torrie cant believe its actually happened to her.
There was a time, she thought the fairytale. "John & Torrie" or Jorrie would never exist. They would be close friends, nothing else but she had found that special moment. A enchanting moment, some people wait forever.
Torrie didn't have to wait anymore….she had found her prince, her hero. Her greatest love.
No other than, Cenation leader John Cena.
….
After confirming a few more details, Torrie had almost confirmed everything and all she had to do, is get everything set up. Luckily Torrie had got a lot of help from friends and family. She had others on stand by.
The Boise Belle wasn't taking any chances, she wants perfection. Someway, somehow. That's exactly what she is going to get.
Torrie let out a small victory smile, she closed the white folder. Standing on her heels, she had a very lovely helper coming in next hour. John's mother, Carol Cena was stopping by to help Torrie.
Torrie knew, the best homemade cake maker is John's mother. He used always say, one thing he missed from not being at mum's house much was her glorious cooking.
Torrie had appetisers, all John's favourite food and the usual party food but she had something specific, she knew John would very much enjoy. A homemade birthday cake. It would go perfectly with her enchanted night.
"Right, okay guys. Time to get you all fed, sorted for the night" Torrie said to the dogs that were playing on the floor.
Just then, Torrie's grin slowly faded. Her eyes lowered to wooden floor. Lucky, Stewie, Pepper was there…where's Chloe?"
"Chloe? Baby" Torrie called. There was no sign of the Maltese.
Usually, Chloe is the first to follow Torrie. She was her loving companion.
Torrie continued to look at the puppies, still Chloe hadn't shown up. "Chloe, where are you?" Torrie walked around, starting to look around for her.
"Chloe, this is not the time or day! You know how special this day is…." Torrie's heels were clanking quickly, looking at every corner. Behind the couch, the cabinets. Any hiding place that Chloe could sneak into it.
She was a small dog, she could be anywhere. John and Torrie's house was huge! Right now that is what is concerning the blonde. Chloe could be anywhere.
"Chloe, sweetie. This is not funny. Okay mummy seriously doesn't have time for your hide and seek games!" Torrie walked into the kitchen, that's the moment she witnessed, the backdoor was slightly open.
Torrie's heart sank, a scream came from her lips. "Chloe!" this seriously couldn't be happening. Not today.
Torrie rushed to the door, her eyes scanned the garden but she couldn't see her fluffy white puppy anywhere.
Torrie's hands circled her lips, fear rose in her eyes. She told herself, she wouldn't cry but Chloe was her baby so she would definitely cry her heart out if she ended up losing her.
"Oh god, no, no, no! please god this can't be happening. Why today?" Torrie slammed the door shut. The Boise Belle ran to the living room to see if Chloe had walked out but still, Torrie didn't see her there.
Torrie ran upstairs, searching frantically for her beautiful Chloe. "Baby! Please!" she kept searching rooms, guest rooms, bathroom, study, gym room, Under the bed, her search wasn't going well at all that is what was bringing tears to Torrie's eyes.
"Oh my god" Torrie sat on the steps, burying her head. She would still surprise John but there's a good chance, she would have to smile so bright to stop her tears from falling down.
John hates to see her cry. He does all he can to comfort her, but he cant stand to see the pain and hurt in her innocent eyes.
Torrie stood on her heels, she went into the bedroom. She got out her phone, felt the urge to phone John…she needed to hear his voice.
"No, I can't believe this…" Torrie's voice was soft, eyes full of tears.
She went to the closet to get her white jacket. Torrie peered her eyelashes, she noticed a black jacket on the floor, a white tail was buried underneath. Torrie felt a silent gasp open her lips, collapsing right to her knees.
"CHLOE! Oh my god baby!" Torrie undid the jacket, Chloe moved her head waking up. She was sitting on John's black jacket.
"You little mischievous madam, don't do that. Especially today!" Torrie cuddled Chloe close to her neck. Thanking god, she didn't lose her baby.
On John's birthday would be worst day ever! She'd have to tell Cena, even John had a soft spot for the Maltese. He always has her cuddled up to him when he's with Torrie.
She'd know, John would have been miserable to hear Chloe had run away a small puppy like her. The chances of getting back, would have been seriously bad but luckily.
Chloe was safe and sound, matter of fact. Cuddled up comfortably on John Cena's jacket.
"On John's jacket too, must have fell down….or you pulled it off you naughty girl" Torrie stroked Chloe, holding her as she shut the closet door.
"Don't scare mummy like that, I'm letting you go to the party because I know you're the one that loves John but if you continue to play up madam. You won't be going" Torrie held Chloe as she stepped down the stairs.
Torrie's fanned out eyelashes lowered, a breath of relief. Words spilled through her lips. "Just another bump"
Still Torrie was putting all her hopes into making this a night to remember!
…
"Okay so….coast is clear" Cm Punk peered his eyes down the corridor, John had left the canteen after he had a make wish greetings to do. Something he always puts first. Pulled in 600 directions, he will always put "The Wish" on the top of his agenda everything else had to wait.
Punk made sure, John was completely out of sight, he turned back. Punk sat on the table crossing his legs. "Dude, you look like Aladdin" Randy spoke.
Punk looked at him. "Oh I love that story"
The viper slowly nodded his head "Ok…so what's the plan?" Randy sipped a gulp of his bottled water.
"Right basically, after the show we will meet at John's locker room. I've spoke to Paul. They are doing a little bash after the show for John"
"I thought Torrie asked for that not to happen, so its more special?" Randy asked.
"Well no, she asked for not to be mention on the show! Paul said its just a small gathering so it don't look like. WWE don't care about their main guy, yada, yada" Punk explained.
"Okay, so we'll meet at John's locker room. How are we going to get him there without him clicking on something is happening?" Orton asked.
Punk smiled "Already got it covered, there's a kids party WWE forgot to tell John, so we will get him to venue because we all know, John won't say no to a kid"
"A kid's party? Who thought of that?"
"Paul did, it's the only way to guarantee, John will agree and get there"
Randy slowly nodded. "A kid's party late at night…..wow…" Punk looked at Randy before he smacked his forehead.
"You know I didn't think of that" Punk spoke.
"Look main thing, John will be there and he'll be so surprised and have the night of his life" Randy said.
Punk nodded. "Yeah, If there's problems. We can handle it right Viper?"
Randy blinked at Punk, he chuckled nervously slapping Punk's hand. "Yeah"
As the two former rivals smiled, when they turned. The nerves just shown in their smiles. Can they really get John to the venue, where a surprise party located for the West Newbury Native.
Can they really get it done without running into complications?
"We don't have a hoping chance, this going right without a hitch" Randy thought.
"Can we handle it? Sure….I think we can…."
Last thought of Cm Punk. "Yeah…. I think not"
Neither Randy or Punk admitted, doubts laid in the shadows of their minds.
…..
Torrie heard the doorbell, the blonde stood on her heels. Opening the door, it revealed. Carol Cena. Torrie let the sweet smile surface on her face seeing her boyfriends mother at the door.
"Hi Carol, I'm glad you could make it" Torrie said politely.
She hugged Mrs Cena, stepping aside so Carol could walk in. Lucky, Stewie, Pepper and Chloe all looked up at the newest arrival.
"Thank you love, its good to see you again" Carol smiled.
Torrie smiled, she was happy to know. She and Carol were on good terms. Sure she had been a little distant when she first met Torrie, after John bought Torrie to his mother's house.
It took a few hours, for Carol to warm to Torrie. Carol wanted to make sure Torrie's intentions involving her son were true.
After that huddle, Torrie had a great relationship with Carol. They bonded very well. John had felt like living in a twilight zone. Torrie had to be the only one, Carol liked out of his ladies. Sure she tolerated his ex wife, but she seemed to lighten, warm to Torrie more.
Torrie was very comfortable in asking Carol to help her with the surprise for her son. Carol accepted happily.
"Let me take your coat" Torrie took Carol's coat, hung it up on the hook with all the other coats.
Torrie looked at Carol, and smiled. "I'm so happy that you could help me, wasn't sure if you were going to be able to make it"
"I was very happy that you asked, and thank you" Carol said.
"No problem, I'm very happy you're here"
The door suddenly opened, Torrie turned to see John's brother, Dan Cena In the hall way carrying a few boxes.
"I still don't understand why you wanted to bring your whole kitchen with you" Dan spoke, Torrie couldn't see Dan's face since the boxes were stacked on top of each other.
"It's everything I need, to make John a birthday cake" Carol said with a smile.
"Well I hope….John appreciates it…if my arms lose feeling, I'm blaming him"
Torrie sweetly giggled, that told Dan. Torrie was in the room too. "Hi Torrie, lovely to see you again. Could you be a doll tell me where to put this?" Dan asked.
"Daniel, don't you go breaking my cookery" Carol warned.
Torrie looked at the boxes. "Err in the kitchen, would be good…"
"Okay, could you direct me so I don't hit the wall"
Torrie walked closer "Let me take one of those?"
"No, No I got it. Just directions…"
"You Cena boys, seriously" Torrie rolled her eyes, she took the top box and walked into the kitchen. Dan followed the blonde, placing the boxes next to it.
"All this, for a birthday cake…" Dan sat on the chair.
"Torrie wanted to make it special, you know how much your brother loves my birthday cakes" Carol spoke, opening the box getting out her cooking books.
"Yeah sure, mom….last time you made one was….when he was 12" Dan explained.
"Oh stop complaining" Carol said getting out the equipment.
Torrie brushed back her blonde hair to her back. "Would you like a beer Dan? Relax those arms"
"Oh yes please, I've had don't do this, don't do that. Be careful with that all day Anymore id go insane" Dan spoke.
Torrie walked to the fridge, she got out a cold bottle of beer and gave it to Dan.
"So what shall I do first?"
Dan pulled Torrie aside knowing where she was going. "Just let Mom do what she wants, don't ask questions. Just do it. Trust me"
"I may be old, my second eldest son is 35 today. But I can still hear Daniel. Not deaf yet" Carol explained keeping her eyes on her cooking books.
Torrie started giggling. "Dan. Why don't you go watch TV, play the consoles. They are gathering dust anyways"
"Okay thank you" Dan touched Torrie's shoulder, he walked out leaving Torrie and Carol in the kitchen.
Torrie stood by the counter, in silence. Carol was flicking through her book. "What to do? What to do?" Torrie clicked her heel against the floor.
"Please don't be offended, but you are going to let me help, right?" Torrie asked.
Carol looked up. "Of course. I'm not making it. Love"
Torrie looked at her. "You're not?"
"No," she turned the book over to Torrie, and smiled. "You are"
Torrie giggled nervously, rubbing her neck. "Oh…I thought you were…" a few giggles slipped through her lips. "I-I thought we were going to do it tog tether"
"We are, I'll help if you get stuck"
"No, No Carol you don't understand. I have never been able to make cakes. Seriously I can't make them rise. It will flat as pancake" Torrie freaked.
"Oh don't be dramatic, you'll do fine. You've got help"
"Great you can stop the house from burning down…." Torrie walked to the counter, to start measuring out the ingredients.
"This is going to be a nightmare" Torrie cried in her mind.
Okay, a big blip had just happened. Torrie had been under the impression, Carol was going to put her magical touch to it…but turns out Torrie is actually the one that will make it.
"I'll be here love" Carol hugged Torrie's shoulder.
Torrie let out a nervous giggle.
Dan walked in to get another beer, saw Torrie in front of the mixing bowl. "I thought you were making the cake mom" Dan asked.
"No Torrie is, I'm just supervising" Carol said, Torrie let out a small smile as she started to add the ingredients in the mixing bowl.
Dan slowly nodded his head. "Good luck with that"
Torrie smiled back. "Thanks I'm going to need it"
"I have faith in you, darling" Carol said, she looked down to as Torrie went to do something wrong already.
"No, love. Siff the flour so there's no lumps"
Torrie looked at Carol. "Oh right, okay…" The blonde lowered her eyes down, already she had been left confused.
"Sif the flour," Carol directed again.
"Gotcha…" Torrie smiled nervously, she felt like she was back in school shy to ask a question.
Torrie swallowed" What's a siff?"
Carol laughed, she found Torrie adorable at times. "Here you go" Carol gave Torrie, the cooking equipment.
"Oh, okay" Torrie put the object over the bowl, siffed the flour so it was nice and neat.
"Now you need a mixing whisk," Carol handed it to Torrie.
"Gently whisk the ingredients together, get the sides so you get it all in. don't whisk for long, about 5 minutes, no longer. Then do it again" Carol instructed.
"Okay" Torrie plugged the equipment in.
"Oh don't turn it until…"
Torrie turned the switch, some of the mixture splattered on the wall. "Oh…that would be why?" Torrie asked Carol.
John's mom nodded her head, "Yes dear"
Torrie bit her lip gently "I'm so sorry, I'm just terrible this is why….John and I when he's here live on take aways, or frozen food. I'm a terrible cook"
Carol looked at Torrie. "You're doing well, there's room for improvement"
Torrie turned on the whisk, she gently mixed it in. Carol was watching her every move. The Boise Belle seriously felt like she was back at school, in class.
Torrie mixed for the exact time, Carol directed.
"Now half the mixture, put in two separate trays. Make sure they are level"
Torrie hated this part the most, she never gets it right. This is how the she fails to make the cake rise. "Okay, please, please, for me, your son please do this part. Please" Torrie pleaded.
"You don't even want to attempt it?"
Torrie shook her head firmly, she didn't want to try. "I'll fail trust me, please Carol"
"Alright I'll do this part," Carol took over, Torrie smiled widely clapping lightly.
It seemed the day is still going good.
Torrie just hoped, at the end of the night. John loved it.
Her heart, mind and soul…she was giving everything into tonight.
…..
After an hour, The Cake was done. It had been on cooling tray for 20 minutes. Torrie had made the strawberry jam from scratch, thick butter cream for the middle.
Torrie was mixing the icing, she gently put the white icing all over the top. She scraped the dripping icing on the side of the cake, so it was perfect.
"That's great Torrie," Carol smiled. "See you can do it"
Torrie smiled, happy with the what she had made. "I'm just trying to think what to put on top"
"How about Happy Birthday John?" Dan chimed in.
Torrie glanced at Dan before she turned back at her homemade creation. "I suppose…I got it, something special"
"Rise above Hate, Never Give Up…"
"She's not putting that" Carol said, she quickly turned to Torrie. "Are you?"
"No I'm not, I'm thinking…"
"Happy 35th….35 in big letters" Dan teased.
"Oh honey, you'll be that age in a few years" Dan coughed on his beer.
"Happy Birthday Baby" Torrie smiled.
"That's sweet" Dan said, Carol smiled with Torrie.
"Sounds lovely"
Torrie squeezed the red coloured icing spelling out the word "Happy" then she used the white icing spelling out "Birthday" then lastly she squeezed the blue icing to write "Baby" Torrie added a few little italics, sweets to decorate it.
"Man that looks delirious" Dan said.
Torrie put the homemade, decorated cake on a plate. She smiled at it. "Perfect"
"Can I ask you two a question?"
"Sure" Carol packed up her books into the box.
"You think John will like what I've planned?"
"I would" Dan said.
Carol smiled. "Of course, It's almost overwhelming what you're doing. John will love you even more if that's possible"
Torrie giggled gently. "I hope so"
"I love what you're doing for my son. I was more than happy to help out anyway I can. You didn't really need me…that much, so be proud of yourself lady"
Torrie let her lashes blink down, before a smile surfaced on her face. Pearly white smile shone. "The cake looks awesome! I did need you. Id be a mess right now, the kitchen would be too"
"Can I have it? You start again" Dan asked.
Torrie and Carol answered in unison. "No!"
"Fine, John's one lucky…" Dan mumbled folding his arms. Torrie and Carol slapped hands together smiling candidly.
Another part had been accomplished, Torrie with Carols help had made John a delirious homemade cake.
Another tick can be ticked off the list. So far, there's been some issues but its been going so well so far!
Every time, Torrie thinks….the moment becomes closer, every step. She gets closer to seeing John! Torrie just couldn't wait.
…..
A few more hours passed by, there hadn't been any big blips or issues. Sure Torrie had to change her outfit, thanks to the sudden pour of rain. A truck passing had soaked her dress. Torrie had prepared for everything little thing, so she had already changed into her alternative attire.
She was wearing white jeans, a white halter neck top
Her hair was in sweet curls, she had black knee boots on over her jeans.
Torrie, Carol and Dan were at the venue, as the time went on. More, more people were arriving. Everyone that had showed up, was doing something to help.
"How about that?" Stacy Keibler said hanging a decoration on wall.
Torrie looked at her best friend, of course Stacy would be here. She was her oldest best friend. Stacy had made sure, she'd make it to a special night. If it was important to Torrie, then it was important to Stacy.
"Just a little to left, yeah right there. That's perfect" Torrie smiled.
Stacy got down off the table, she smiled at her best friend.
"Thanks so much for coming Stace, I know you're going on vacation in a few days. I really appreciate it" Torrie explained.
"Of course I'll be here, all the effort you're doing, wouldn't miss it for the world babe" Stacy hugged Torrie.
Torrie looked around, more and more people were filling up the room. There was her friends, John's friends. Candice Michelle waved as she and husband were taking care of the food.
Torrie twinkled a wave back. "I know, I just hope John…"
Stacy kissed her cheek, assuring her best friend. "He'll love it"
"Tor," Candice had walked over to Stacy and Torrie.
"Yeah"
"The Balloons, are they for show?" Candice asked.
"Balloons?"
"Ankianne wants a balloon or are they for decoration?"
Torrie shook her head. "No girl, it's fine. She can have one if she wants" the blonde smiled.
"Thanks babe, which one do you want? So many colours" Candice knelt down by her daughter. Ankianne choose the pink one, held onto the silver ribbon.
Torrie's smile widened when she saw two people walk in. Two kids had run to the dance floor. "Shawn! Becca, oh my god you made it" Torrie hugged the married couple.
"Hey Torrie, of course we made it" Shawn smiled.
"We wouldn't miss it" Becca said, Torrie hugged Becca Michaels, she had known her since WCW days. Becca had helped Torrie, kept under her wing.
"Wow the place looks great" Shawn spoke.
"It really does, Shawn's already jealous" Becca smiled.
Torrie turned, to see the room was being decorated, food was being laid out on the tables. The Boise Belle smiled turning back to Shawn and Becca.
"I know, we've still got the lights to do? DJ still loads to do" Torrie spoke.
"Shawn, go on" Becca said to her husband. "He'll take care of the lights"
"What? Can't I just have one night to relax…"
"I thought you said, you like to work honey" Becca teased her husband.
Shawn groaned, "I knew that would come back and bite me"
"Stop complaining, go on"
"Alight, alright…was HBK, Mr Hall Of Fame"
"What are you now?" Torrie asked.
"Mr DIY" Shawn walked away to get started on the lights, Torrie smiled as it was all coming along smoothly.
Torrie's heels clicked on the floor, she gave the box of lights to HBK. "Here you go" Shawn peeked downwards, seeing a bunch of tangled lights.
"Yeah this may take a while…" HBK spoke.
Torrie smiled back "Thanks Shawn, I really appreciate it"
"As long as John has a great birthday, It's all good…" Shawn spoke sitting at a table, starting to untangle the piles of lights.
"Cameron, Cheyenne no running on the dance floor. Don't fancy spending tonight in A&E"
"Daddy we're bored" Cheyenne moaned.
"Come and help Daddy untangle these lights" Shawn said, his two kids decided to sit down.
"No I didn't think so"
Torrie looked at the two children. "Do you two want to help put up some banners for me?" Torrie smiled sweetly.
Shawn just laughed out loud. "My Kids….work…ha!"
Cameron smiled at Torrie, "Of course Miss Wilson"
"I want to help" Cheyenne spoke sweetly
Torrie giggled as she gave them the banners, directed where to put them. Shawn's jaw almost hit the floor. "Huh? Okay then…" Shawn spoke.
Torrie turned back to HBK.
"Can you come and live with me at home, never seen them be like that before. I usually have to bribe them to do something that involves working" Shawn said.
Torrie tapped Shawn's shoulder. "You're just a big softie Shawnie" HBK's chuckled, as she leaned over his back.
"Thanks again" Torrie said.
"You're welcome"
"Cameron don't put staples in your sisters hair" Shawn added.
Torrie giggled while she watched Shawn continue to untangle the lights.
"Oh the joys of being a father" Shawn said to himself while he heard his son and daughter squabbling in the background.
Torrie giggled, already this night was a feel good moment spending it with lovely friends and family.
Only one, can make it better for her.
John Cena.
…..
It was Monday Night Raw, the pyro and firework went off at the top of the ramp
The welcoming voices of "Michael Cole & Jerry King Lawler" came through.
The show started with the contract signing, Teddy Long under the wing of John Lariantus announced John Cena.
The 10 time WWE Champion emerged from the curtain, as his music "The Time Is Now" played in the background, green lighting around involving John's recent wwe merchandise design. "Salute Cenation"
John Cena came to the ramp, he turned towards the camera. "I feel a little older" cheers, boos. Pure emotion filled the arena. It was no different, John Cena bought a reaction from everyone.
John was at the moment at work, he had not the slightest idea about the surprise party that was hours away from the arena. He had no idea, so many people were at work getting the venue together, all for him.
It's all for him, Cena had not a single idea.
Decked out in his Green t shirt, blue knee length jeans, black belt. green wrist bands, 4 on each wrist. A wrist band below his t shirt, along with his black trainers. A green baseball cap. Cena was here for his contract signing with Brock Lesnar. This was his work, he loved it but his heart was hurting.
He missed Torrie, and his family. It was his birthday, and he was spending it with the WWE Universe, which is great but he still felt the hurt of missing loved ones.
John let his handsome smile on his face, he saluted the crowd before he ran down. John slid into the ring. He was ready for his contract signing with Lesnar.
John stood on one side, he took a deep breath waiting on his opponent. He rubbed his hands together, waiting to hear that music. The war machine emerge…..
The same man that's F5 him twice, left John Cena hurt in the ring. Cena continued to wait, but there wasn't any sign of Lesnar. John Lariantus then came back out. He yelled at Teddy Long, explaining Lesnar is not here and why is Teddy out here, having the contract signing
Lariantus made Teddy Long ask John Cena to leave the ring, the signing will be later on in the night. Cena not thrilled with the news, he got himself all ready…for nothing.
John Cena stayed in the ring, he wasn't confronted by Lesnar. But he sure had another shock. His biggest rival, Edge shocked the world.
John clapped his hands together in respect, The Rated R Superstar glanced at him. He had something important to say. It had to be in front of everyone.
"Happy to see you" John said without the microphone.
Edge answered. "I came to talk to you, not this John Cena. I don't know who this
John Cena is" Edge said.
John looked at the hall of famer, a close friend. As edge went on to talk, the emotion started to show in John's face.
"I don't know where he went…."
Edge continued with his passionate speech, trying to get through John. Make him re group, find "John Cena" that had so much fun, fight in him. He needed to be him again so he can defeat Brock Lesnar.
After Edge left the ring, the emotion slowly started to rise in John's eyes. As John was left there standing in the ring, he took in a deep breath, staying strong after Edge, his greatest rival…told him to wake up! Ordering that Cena defeat Brock Lesnar for sake of everyone!
Telling John Cena, that he's lost it. Lost the confidence, the fire after losing to the Rock at Wrestlemania in the "Once In A Lifetime" clash. He needs to find that John Cena again, or else its all over….that's exactly what Edge had given Cena.
John placed his cap back on, he walked to the ropes leaning. He heard Edge's words ringing in his head, the echoes of the WWE Universe.
That wasn't the best birthday gift…that's for sure.
…...
Everything was coming along great, Monday Night Raw was on in the background. Torrie was sitting at one of the tables, she had just seen what happened. She saw the emotion in John's beautiful blue eyes after Edge gave him a few home truths through the television.
"Poor Baby" Torrie spoke as she continued to get the venue ready.
The party was hours away!
Torrie walked to the catering table, Shawn was testing the lights. Stacy was taking care of the music. Everyone that had arrived was doing something to help. Everyone except the Cena brothers. They were just talking, and drinking.
"What are you boys up to?" Carol Cena asked.
One tilted their head, "I'd say admiring the view" Carol looked to see Torrie standing on a table, hanging up a banner.
"Why don't you help?" Carol asked her sons.
"We are" Matt said.
"Doing what exactly?" Carol asked.
"Drinking and socialising…helping Torrie with the banner" Sean Cena said.
"It takes all of you?"
"Sure…"
Carol rolled her eyes as she walked away.
"The what? Oh yeah…that" Dan said.
Torrie turned back. "Okay this is that straight?" Torrie asked them.
"Maybe a little to the right"
Torrie bent her slender body slightly to hang it up.
"Up a little"
Torrie stood on her tip toes to hang the banner higher. "There?"
"Yeah that looks good"
Torrie put pressure on it, to make sure it stuck perfectly and wouldn't end up falling down. "Great" Torrie stepped closer to step off the table.
Torrie was helped off the table, she zipped her knee boots back on. Dusting herself off, she brushed back blonde hair so her blonde hair would flow freely on her back.
"It's definitely coming along great" Torrie smiled.
"Oh yeah, it is…..just a shame"
Torrie looked at John's brothers. "What is?" she questioned.
"All the great effort you're putting into it. John don't like surprises"
Torrie glanced at them, worried lines immediately went on her forehead. Her innoncent eyes shown the concern. "Oh god, really?"
"It's okay, he loves you Torrie. It'll be fine but last time, he had a surprise party. It was a disaster"
Torrie put her hands around her mouth "Oh! I never knew that…."
Carol Cena came over after spotting the concern on Torrie's face. "What have you lot being saying to her?"
"Torrie, they are just teasing you. Now I gave you all life, I have the power to take you out of this world if you don't get your butts into helping!"
"But…mom" the brothers moaned.
"Now!" Carol ordered.
Torrie smiled at Carol, she saw Shawn's hand waving over so she politely took her leave to go and see Shawn.
Carol slapped her sons at the back of their heads. "Ow what was that for?"
"What do you think? That's your brother's girlfriend. Stop teasing her" Carol said.
"Mom, you know…as well as we do. John don't like parties. He never have done…"
"Look he's not 11 anymore, Torrie's put so much effort into this"
"That's great, but its going to be for nothing" Dan spoke.
"Just start helping"
"Fine"
"So what do you think about Torrie?" Matt asked his brothers.
"Kind girl" Dan said
"Beautiful woman, maybe a little too dramatic at times but if John's happy then that's good enough for me" Matt spoke.
"Not too mention hott"
"Trust you to say that Sean"
"Well she is, but I like her. Good for John"
"Yeah if John's happy, that's the main thing" The Cena brothers all agreed.
…..
Monday Night Raw was slowly drawing to a close. Brock Lesnar was sitting on the chair, John Cena's music started to play, the melody continued to play. There was no sign of John. After the music had stopped, Lesnar laughed saying "Cena was too scared to show up"
After intimidating the GM of both Raw/Smackdown, listing high demands throwing his power around, if Lariatntus didn't buckle….Lesnar wouldn't sign the contract.
After Lesnar signed the contract, John Cena's music played once again. This time John Cena shown up, but he wasn't alone. Cena had his steel chain around his neck. John walked down the ramp, stepping on the steps.
Cena removed the signature padlock and chain. John took the chain from his neck wrapping it around his fist.
Maybe he had listened to Edge, he has to revive the "Thug" to eliminate Lesnar.
Lesnar laid back on the ropes, still sitting down. Cena just had a serious look etched across his face. No words were spoken between the gladitors.
John Cena kept looking at the contract lying on the table, he stepped back as he glanced back at the bully Lesnar. John kept a serious look on his face.
"What's a matter John?" Lesnar asked.
John stood his ground, with his chain on his fist. His shadowed blue eyes were looking right at Lesnar.
"Sign the contract" Lesnar ordered.
John glanced at Brock Lesnar before he turned his gaze at the WWE unviverse. Lesnar went on to say John was scared, He's whirling in the back of John's mind. Cena lost last week, and now hes scared stiff of Lesnar.
"Everything you've got John, all the people in the back. You're buddy Edge telling you to wake up, beat me! Me Brock Lesnar you don't have a hoping hell's chance….I"
John blinked while he stood there, listening to Lesnar.
"All the little screaming, annoying kids, stupid people that believe in you its not going to help you, none of it will. I like to beat up people, especially stupid people. This company needs Brock Lesnar, all this belongs to me"
John turned his head to the side, contining to listen. His head firmly shook side to side. He didn't believe that for a second.
Lesnar smirked, "Let's not forget, you're main girl….so soft, innocent."
John's eyes rose coldly, he could feel the blood rising in him and his heart started to race after Brock mentioned Torrie.
"Sweet Innocent little Torrie Wilson, she'll stand by you. Not going to make a scrap bit of difference either"
"Don't you dare" John warned. Cena's blue eyes grew cold, almost a shade of ice.
Lesnar chuckled evilly. "You know I would love to put my hands on her" Cena glared at him, His eyes gently closed, taking a deep breath before he glanced back at Lesnar after his disturbing comment about Torrie.
"Why are you looking at me like that Johnny? Am I getting to you. You're scared! Everyone can see it! I feel it. You're scared!"
John stepped to the table, he picked up the pen and signed the contract. After Lesnar's words, mentioning Torrie and then saying he was scared. It just made John sign the contract.
"Sign the contract!" Lesnar shouted again, as John scribbled his signature on the paper.
John threw the contract at Lesnar, not backing down from the "ass kicker"
Cena picked up the microphone. "You'll have to kill me, to have this company"
Lesnar eyed John. "Empty threat, I'm shaking in my boots. You're scared John, I'm going to destory this Sunday, no one will save you from that."
Lesnar threw the microphone at Cena, as he chuckled. Lesnar tipped the table over. John stepped back, while the table tipped at his feet. Lesnar chuckled as Cena rose his fist with the chain. "Not tonight" Lesnar left the ring, no fight or brawl broke out.
John Cena stood in the ring, with a even more serious look on his face. The show faded to the black, with a wildfire confrontation between John Cena & Brock Lesnar.
…...
"God that guy gives me the creeps" Torrie spoke after she had kept an eye on the television.
Torrie shook her head, forgetting the comments made up Lesnar about her. She knew John would be her defender, he'd keep her safe and secure. Torrie glanced around at the decorated venue, everything was almost done.
The guest of honour would be here in less than an hour.
Torrie gently gliding through her soft curls. "I love it," her sparkle smile was on her face.
"Hi Torrie"
Torrie turned around to see Randy Orton's wife, Samanatha and Alana Marie was holding her hand. "Hi Sam," Torrie greeted, with a hug.
"Glad you could make it," Torrie bent down to greet little Alana.
"Hey there Alana"
"Hi" Alana said shyly.
"It looks amazing, Randy will be here soon. He's helping Phil get John here" Sam explained.
Torrie nodded, smiling sweetly. "Okay that's great. Alana, why don't you go and play with the other kids" Alana smiled as she ran over to the group of children that were playing games on a table.
"Do you know how long its going to be, till they leave?" Torrie asked Sam.
"Randy told me, they are leaving straight after. They've already thought of an excuse to so John will be here, won't know a single thing about it"
Torrie nodded, softly grinning. "Great"
The Boise Belle turned to the clock hanging on the wall, the minutes were ticking by.
"He'll be here soon"
…
After the dark match, John's music was playing. He and CM Punk had been victorious. After John threw his wrist bands, arm band into the crowd just his blue jeans, trainers, knee pads on his body. He jumped off the turnbuckle. Punk winked, as he grabbed a mircophone.
"Time to let these people get home, been a loong day" John went to leave but Punk stopped him.
"Whoa, whoa. John…..there's still something that we need to talk about"
John looked at Punk. "What's that?" Cena didn't know about anything that's going on.
"Somebody is….celebrating their 35...birthday today" John turned around, gliding his hand down his face.
He leaned back on the turnbuckle as he gently grinned.
After Punk's annoucement, Vince McMahon came out. He bought out the rest of the superstars and Divas to sing Happy Birthday to John Cena. Before they could get started. Triple H made a surprise appearance.
"Sing? Punk, you all can't sing to John without me" The Game said.
"Sorry Hunter, we thought you left"
"No I'm here, since….I'm oldest one here" The Game made everyone chuckle. "Well except for Vince….old as dirt don't really count does it?" Vince chuckled with everyone else in the building.
"So from one old man, to a getting there old man…"
John stayed his back against the turnbuckle, he smiled signalling to get it cut.
Triple H gave Cm Punk to go ahead to start the party, Punk got the crowd up on their feet for the moment. John was leaning on the turnbuckle, as Punk lead everyone to sing Happy Birthday.
John shook his head, exposing his white teeth in his smile. He was smiling on the outside but inside…he knew people were missing.
"And 1, 2, 3..."
"Happy Birthday To You, Happy Birthday to You. Happy Birthday Cena. Happy Birthday to you!" John lowered his head chuckling.
He put his thumb up, "Thank Guys" to everyone that sung Happy Birthday to him.
Triple H got The Great Khali to sing to John, sicne he don't speak the language and he missed the que to get started so Khali sung himself. John chuckled, clapping as the gaint started to sing the song to him.
John leaned his head on the ropes, chuckling while Cm Punk just patted his back. After Khali was done, everyone clapped.
"If that doesn't make it special John, what does?" The Game asked.
John chuckled, smiling on. "Thank You"
"Is there a speech?" HHH asked.
John shook his head, while the crowd, superstars and divas all chanted for a speech.
"Speech! Speech! Speech!" Cm Punk chanted.
John took the mircophone. "Okay…I'll make this quick, been a long day I'm sure you all want to go home, or do you want to hang out?"
"After a three hour show, you all still want to hang out. Well…Okay, Umm Steve Austin is not here so we don't have the beer. Punk, do you still have that liquor? basket. Maybe we can see if anyone else can say the alhabet backwards"
"Bud, that was hard" Punk chuckled.
"Okay well Ive got case of beer outside the arena, I can try and bring that in…." John grinned.
"You know what John, I have a better idea…ladies" Triple H sent the WWE Divas into the ring, each of them hug and gave a kiss to John's cheek.
"Well that's not fair, I'll just open the ropes shall I?" Punk kept the bottom rope open, so the ladies could step in.
Lilian Garcia was the one that got a wide smile by John, she was the closest diva friend that Torrie had. "I wish Torrie was here" John said to Lilian.
She just giggled, kissing his cheek as John hugged the next diva.
"John, I think you know me by now. We all know what makes you happy but we don't have a cake for you…."
"I'm pretty good, id say…." John turned to the divas.
"I'm going to give you, a good gift John. Most funniest thing you'll ever see" Triple H spoke.
John grinned while he listened to the COO.
"Hornswoggle, please run down the ramp one more time…." Triple H said.
Hornswoggle ran down the ramp, making everyone laugh. The little man hugged John, while Cena chuckled. "For real guys, thank you. Its not the first birthday I've spent with the WWE Universe, right now its definitely the best"
"Because I turned 21 today," John spoke, making the crowd, everyone around laugh.
"I'm going to go out have a few cold ones. Hope you guys get home safe, enjoy the day! thank you for all of this. Thank all of you. Thanks Vince McMahon," The superstars were shown clapping, smiling in a good moment.
"Hunter, nice suit, thank you"
"Punk, thank you for saying "Professional wrestler" WWF in the same building on the same night!"
Punk rose his hands in the air "Yes" he shouted in victory.
"So Thank You…"
"Whoa, John wait….a wise man always said. Everyone needs a big finish now…"
"Id say it's a average finish"
"How about we have a pig pile on John Cena, for the finish. That'll be tremendous" John laid down on the mat.
John was piled on by the divas. "This…is….incredible…"
Punk helped Hornswoggle on top of the pile. As the divas all moved, Hornswoggle remained on top of Cena. John laid his arms on the mat, so his shoulders were down still holding the microphone in his hand.
Hornswoggle covered Cena for the 3 count.
"Thank You everyone, have a good night. Get out of here!" John said, as everyone said goodbyes, sending the fans home happy. John slapped Punk's hand, as he exited the ring. Greeting the fans on the outside.
That was it, To Cena's knowledge. His Birthday Bash was done. Something very much bigger and special was waiting for his arrival.
The way John Cena knew, His Birthday was over for another year.
….
Paul Levesuque walked with his father in law to the parking lot. Paul stepped half in the car. He turned back Punk and Randy. "See you guys there"
"Yeah, you think John has a clue?"
The Game shook his head. "No, I don't think he does. See you later" Paul climbed in the car.
Many superstars and divas were piling in the cars, susually they were going to the hotels, or airports whenever there schedule was. Now all the cars were going to the same place tonight.
Punk watched as cars one after the other drove out of the parking lot. He slapped Randy's back as they were the very few that was still in the arena.
"Right time to do our part" Randy nodded, following Punk.
…..
After a refreshing shower, John Cena dressed into blue jeans with a white shirt. He put on his white trainers. Packing his belongings away. A soft sigh went through his lips. John grabbed his phone, he saw Torrie with him on his phone screen.
He smiled gently, seeing the sweet smile reflecting from his phone screen. The two were doing the same signature "Hustle Loyalty Respect" side by side.
The Birthday Bash with wwe, was wonderful. He had a hell of fun but he missed Torrie.
John lowered his eyes, as the light faded on his iphone. Cena was going to be straight to airport to the next stop, so he could have plenty time and rest
"I can go home, just tonight" John decided.
Cm Punk and Randy Orton came into his locker room. "Hey buddy, ready to go" Punk turned to Orton, winked.
"No I'm not going"
Punk's smile faded quickly, turning back towards John. "What?"
"What do you mean you're not going?" Randy asked.
"I'm going to surprise Torrie, sure I won't have much time with her but whatever…" John said.
"No you can't" Punk said without taking a single breath.
John's eyes rose in confusion. "Why not?"
Punk looked at John before he turned to Randy, unlucky for Punk. Randy had a blank look across his face. He didn't come up with anything either.
"Oh umm, umm…welll….err…"
"I'll see you guys on Sunday" John went to leave but Punk and Randy wouldn't move.
"No John, umm….I forgot to tell you. Well Paul told me tell you…there's this kids party, few hours away….his…daughter, she's a huge fan and he forgot to tell you….and wondered if you'll go" Punk said. Randy felt like hitting his head on the steel door.
"Paul's daughter's party is at 10 at night…."
"Err…yeah" Punk smiled.
"I thought Aurora's birthday was in June?"
Punk looked at John, "Aw yeah,…its not hers. The other girl…"
"Err Okay…" John walked out the door
Punk and Randy sighed. "Think he bought it?"
"Not in a million years"
The door re opened, John stepped back in. Punk and Randy turned back, and smiled. "Hey buddy"
"Okay what's going on?" John asked folding his arms. He knew something was going on, why wasn't he allowed to go and see Torrie?
Randy shook his head. "John, okay the deal is we want to you to have some drinks with us. Then you can go home, see Torrie"
"That's it? Okay fine. A few drinks"
"It's a specific place, just opened…." Punk said, John let the curiosity sink in his expression. He just shrugged his shoulders. He'll go and have some fun with his close friends in wwe then he'll go and surprise his beautiful girlfriend.
….
2 hours later…,..
"Phil, where are we?" Randy asked quietly so Cena don't get suspicious. But John would be pretty naïve if he wasn't, judging for outside view.
It looked like a deserted dark road. There was no houses, just fields, forests and the rain was making it even worse.
Phil looked outside the dark, rainy road as he continued to drive. Where they were, certainly didn't look like where a surprise party was being held.
"It's alright, I know where….we are…" Punk continued to drive. But he, Randy and even John knew they were lost.
"Are we lost?" John asked in the passenger seat.
"Hold on, I know where I'm going" Punk stopped the car. He opened the door. The rain had started to pour down.
Punk looked around for a sign. "Ok…so…that way's right…."
Randy opened the door, he walked towards the WWE Champion. "Phil, are we lost?"
Punk chuckled, as he nervously clicked his neck in the dark rain. "Are we…lost…..are…we lost…what? Ba…ha…"
"Are we?" Randy asked again.
Punk slowly nodded his head. "I think so"
"Oh great" Randy threw his hands up in the air.
"You must have given me the wrong turning!" Punk and Orton started to bicker.
"I didn't give you the wrong directions, you have a electronic thing giving you directions! Phil….what the hell are we going to do?" Randy asked.
Phil scratched his beard, John was leaning against the car door. "Guys, I could have been home by now"
"Do you have a plan?" John asked, with rain falling on his shirt.
Phil looked at Randy and John, before his eyes peered at the dark surroundings. The rain was splashing on the windshield of the car. It surely was not the best weather on John's birthday.
"I'm thinking" Phil said.
20 minutes later…..
"You don't have a plan do you?" Randy asked.
"I'm thinking" Phil repeated. Safe to say, he didn't have a single idea what to do.
This was a major speed bump right now, the party had been going on for 2 hours. John should have been there by now…..he still hadn't arrived. They were lost.
John Cena, Randy Orton and Cm Punk were in the middle of nowhere.
This was not good at all especially when something so simple….has turned right around, like the sudden rain.
Will John make it? Or will Torrie's hopeful effort to make tonight special…be for nothing.
…...
End Of Part 2, Okay so this is now a part 3 story but there's just more to enjoy right lol. I had so much fun writing this update, I think I did pretty good with it.
Torrie's putting a lot of effort into John's surprise, bless her heart :D John has no idea he's bday bash has only begun. He's kinda lost thanks to Orton/Punk
Thank You to all those lovely reviews, keep them coming. Part 3 will be the last part but I may have a story to follow on with it but a separate new story :P
Part 3- Torrie is upset because it's gone wrong since John hasn't turned up. Will John get to his surprise bash? If he does could anything else go wrong? You'd think nothing else could, right?…. Ha!
