Disclaimer: I don't anything but my character Riley Sadly all WWE stuff is not mine.

Out in the ring was Daniel Bryan going on about something ridiculous. Once Punk's music hit he walked out immediately. As he made his way to the ring he started to talk, "Ya know I'm sure we're all sick of you complaining how you're not getting matches that aren't worthy of a WWE Champ. You're supposed to be setting an example being the face of the company. You're supposed to be satisfied with whoever wants to fight you." That got quite a few cheers.

While the action was happening in the ring the man made it to ringside and approached Walter. Punk looked out at the audience and spotted the man that was supposed to be Walter. He glanced to the other side of the ring where he could see Riley making her way to her seat she looked like she was trying hard to put on a brave face. Riley softly smiled at Punk this was one of the reasons he was her favorite wrestlers his pipebombs were epic.

Across the way a heated conversation was taking place. Walter sneered, "What do you mean you lost her?"

The man said, "She was quite a pistol."

Walter was fuming he had enough he was ready for her to be his and yet she slipped through his fingers yet again. He ran a hand through his hair and then a face from across the ring caught his eye. Riley and Walter connected eyes and she was showing no mercy in backing down. Walter shoved the man that was talking to him back. The bitch was playing him for a fool and she was going to regret it.

Cena's music hit and he came out with a microphone in hand. He started to join into the scene that took place in the ring with Punk and a very confused Bryan.

Riley turned her attention slightly off of Walter to Cena making his way into the ring.

Across the ring Walter drew his fist and knocked down the man who was supposed to be getting Riley. Riley's attention turned back to where Walter was only Walter was not there. A panic rose in her as she watched a member of the Shield grabbing the man that attacked her. Where the hell was Walter?

Maybe this wasn't a bright idea after all, Riley thought. Then a security guard came over, "Miss Can I have you come with me?" She moved out of the seats and followed the guard figuring maybe the two wrestlers that were helping her asked him to get her. Once they were away from the crowd the guard stated, "I have an officer that would like to speak with you." That cause Riley to stop in her tracks. She was still close to the ring and turned to look over her shoulder. She caught Punk's gaze as tears were swelled up in her eyes. She mouthed, 'Thanks for everything.'

In the midst of all the pipebombs that were being thrown around Cena and Punk both caught the fight Walter started. Punk noticed a guard approaching Riley and he glanced at Cena who knew what he was questioning. Cena gave a shrug of the shoulders. He looked back towards Riley and she stopped and he didn't like what he saw she looked defeated.

He glanced back where Walter was and saw that he was nowhere to be seen. Seth was hauling the other man backstage. He took a deep breath and dropped his mike without saying a word and exited the ring. Cena tried to play it off that he was dumbfounded by Punk's actions.

Punk headed straight back to where the security guard was leading Riley. He caught up with just the two of them. "Hey stop."

Riley gave him a sad expression and stated, "Its fine it's done I was stupid to think I could get out of this."

He gave her a hard glare "You're going to get out of this." He looked over at the guard. "Where are you taking her?"

The guard was obviously shocked by CM Punk stopping them. "A man asked to see her, a cop's son."

Cena approached the group he looked at Punk, "Take her back to the locker room I will handle this."

Punk started to shake his head no. He was ready to go a few rounds with this jackass. "I'm taking care of it."

"Neither of you can take care of it. I am not dragging either of you further into my mess." Riley stated.

Cena and Punk continued talking as if she was not there or that neither of them heard her. Cena said, "All I am saying is that if you let me go and he starts to spout off some lies or bs if it comes down to actually believing whatever the guy says. It's going to come more believable from me."

Punk questioned, "Just exactly what are you trying to say?"

Cena scoffed, "That you are temperamental."

Punk rolled his eyes, "Fine we will go back to the locker room and you deal with him." Punk turned to Riley and ushered her back to his room.

Riley asked, "Why are you so concerned about me?"

Punk didn't look at her as they walked back into his locker room. He stated, "I don't like people being bullied. So how about we get some food after this?"

Riley was in utter shock to find out there were people still in this world that were so generous. "I was supposed to meet up with a friend and her husband."

Punk said, "You can invite them along."

Riley texted, 'Dinner after?'

Jessica text back, 'yeah where?'

Riley looked up from her phone and asked, "Where at?"

Punk answered, "Hard Rock. I will call ahead and get us a private room." Punk pulled out his phone to make the call.

Riley texted, 'Hard Rock'

Punk said, "Tell her Party under Brooks."

Riley sent another text, 'Party under Brooks"

Jessica texted, 'Who is Brooks?'

Riley texted, 'You'll see.'

Riley held a playful smirk on her expression which Punk caught. He asked, "So what's with the smart ass smirk you're sporting?"

Riley laughed for the first time tonight, "The friends totally don't like you."

Punk groaned, "Let me guess." Cena walked through the door and Punk pointed to him and she nodded. "Figures." Cena looked at the two of them not sure what was going on. "Hard Rock you down?"

Cena answered, "Sure." Riley looked at Cena and wanted to know what happened. Cena glanced at Punk and then back to Riley. "He's gone for now."

Riley spoke, "I am going to go to the restroom."

As soon as the door was closed Punk asked, "What the hell does for now mean?"

Cena stated, "It means that this guy is scary and he's got that look in his eye."

Punk didn't need him to continue any longer. He knew what it meant. It meant that this girl might not be around much longer. Her life was now a ticking time bomb as long as this guy was around her. He couldn't let that happen.

Riley came out from the bathroom and said, "Ready to go when you are."

Cena said, "I will meet you two over there. I got to pack up and get Nikki."

Punk nodded "Come on I just got to put my stuff on the bus." Riley followed Punk out onto his bus and waited quietly when he returned they headed to Hard Rock. Once they arrived they were ushered to a private room. Riley had been quiet since she returned from the restroom and Punk was honestly starting to get worried. "Hey." Riley looked up at him. "What's going on?"

Riley's expression was broken, "That this is going to be my last meal."

"Riley, where have you been? You missed your favorite…" Jessica's voice trailed off when she saw just who Riley was in company with. "I guess you didn't."

Punk glanced at Riley with a smirk and he questioned, "I'm your favorite?"

Riley smiled at him and replied, "Don't get a big head."

"Too late" Punk remarked.

"Sit down you two, this is my friend Jessica and her husband, Kevin and this is the notorious CM Punk." Riley said.

Punk chuckled, "Notorious?"

Riley smiled and nodded, "That's right."

"You're full of…" Punk started.

Cena finished, "Who is full of what?"

Punk looked at Riley and remarked, "Riley is full of jokes."

Cena smirked, "Is she now?"

Riley stated, "All I said was that he was notorious."

Nikki laughed, "That's not a joke that's a fact." Punk sent Nikki a dirty look.

Riley laughed, "These are my friends Jessica and Kevin I think they are both probably star struck right now."

Cena and Nikki sat down and finished in the introductions. Nikki remarked, "I like her. She has spunk." Riley smiled at her.

Riley stated, "I so want to be a Bella twin."

Nikki squealed while John and Punk were groaning. Punk asked, "Seriously?"

Riley remarked, "Don't be all butt hurt just because I don't want to be a punk."

John laughed and Nikki spoke, "That's it you are a honorary twin now."

Punk questioned, "Wouldn't that be a triplet?" Nikki threw him a dirty look.

Once the food and conversations had went on for a couple hours Jessica and Kevin had to get home. John and Nikki were ready to leave shortly after. "Get my number from Punk and if you need anything just call." He gave her a tight hug and then Nikki and her exchanged numbers. Once they were gone it was just Riley and Punk. Punk paid for him and Riley and the two of them went and stood on Jefferson Street.

Punk asked, "What's on your mind?"

Riley replied, "Something you probably do not want to hear."

Punk pushed it further "Tell me."

Riley took a deep breath and spoke "This was the best last night ever." He didn't need her to elaborate he knew what she was getting at Riley looked down at her phone and mumbled, "Shit" Punk looked at her with slight confusion. "It's past midnight and the light rail is done for the night. It is a few miles to my car, so I guess I will be footing it."

Punk suggested, "How about you come hang with me on my bus and in the morning I'll take you to your car?" Riley thought about it a few and then gave him a smile and a yes nod. Once back on the bus "Make yourself comfortable. Would you like a water?" Punk asked as Riley laughed, "What?"

Riley stated, "I think if I drank water my body would go into shock. Got any soda?" Punk shook his head no. "Powerade?" He opened the fridge and passed her one. "Thanks."

Punk stated, "You know you need water to live especially in the desert."

"Funny how that won't be the thing that will kill me." Riley grimly stated.

Punk questioned, "Why are you just giving up?"

Riley shrugged, "I don't have anything to fight for anymore."

Punk asked, "Tell me why?"

Riley sighed and responded, "Let's see I found out a couple days ago my dad isn't my dad and it went to hell with the family. Dad told me to get out before they get back from Chicago. Mom well I've always been a disappointment to her I guess I know why now. As for my friends I don't have many. My coworkers are more of friends because I spend most of my time there to get out of my house. "

Punk asked, "What do you do?"

Riley answered, "I work at a Christian bookstore."

"So you believe in all that God Stuff? Where is your God during everything you have been through?" Punk asked.

"Good question. I was brought up in the church life but recently I feel my faith faltering. What did I do to deserve this?" Riley bleakly answered.

Punk stated, "You don't deserve this."

Riley and Punk's eyes met and her expression softened. "Thank you though it is really hard to believe."

Now it was Punk's turn to soften his own expression. "Will you tell me about Walter?" He asked, but at this point didn't know if she would or not.

Riley took a deep breath and stated, "I didn't even want to know him. He showed up at my church one time, and my best friend thought 'oh a cowboy for Riley' and just gave him my phone number without even discussing it with me. So I thought I would be nice and just be polite to him."

"Your best friend is fucked up." Punk stated.

Riley nodded and continued, "Things got creepy within that first week and I asked him to slow it down. We went out on one date and he got touchy and forceful." She had to stop herself for a moment. Punk almost told her to forget it, but he really wanted to know more. "I tried to call it off after that but the next day him and his dad came into my work. His dad was very intimidating I can see where Walter gets it from. His dad pulled me aside and held onto my arm rather forceful. He told me how he knew his son was in love with me after one freaking week. He said he also knew how I was not going to be a bitch and wreck things or he'd make my life a living hell. I didn't fully understand that so when I got off work I went to the Sheriff Station and told them my story. When I told them the names they just looked at me like I was crazy or something. One Officer excused himself and when he came back he had Walter's dad with him. His dad was the new Sheriff.

I was in utter shock and his dad played it off like everything was no big deal, and since then life has seriously been hell. So I am sure after tonight he will just put me out of my misery now." Riley felt the tears coming down her cheeks as she stared down at her hands.

Punk literally had no words for what she had been through. As she talked his heart broke a little more with each word she spoke. The anger in him was also building up he would love to meet this Walter in a dark alley and take care of him. He also didn't understand her parents or family. How do you spend all these years with a child and just abandon them. He couldn't wrap his head around any of it.

Punk jumped up and stated, "Ya know what we need is a good movie." Punk went to his collection and then picked one out. He placed it in and stated, "You're going to like this one I am sure of it."

Riley gave him a small smile as he sat down right next to her. Her smile grew a little bigger when the titles appeared on the screen. Punk turned towards her while wearing a smirk on his expression. "Goonies is the perfect choice."

Somewhere in the middle of it Riley drifted to sleep and her head came crashing down onto Punk's shoulder. Punk smiled at that and took the remote to switch the TV off. He then moved off of the window seat and carefully lifted Riley up into his arms. He carried her back to where his bedroom was. He placed her on the bed and covered her up. He walked out of the room quietly. He needed a moment to think he was having a hard time thinking about just letting her go back to accept a fate of where she thought it was going to be the end.

He picked up his cell calling the one person he knew he could call for advice. It was way late for her but he knew she would answer for him. It rang twice before she picked up. "Hey mama I got something serious going on and I need some serious words of wisdom." About an hour later Punk was on the couch and actually passed out for at least a couple hours.
