Shot Through The Heart
Kelly felt better after she and John talked to the detective two hours later after she found out about the tragic story of Randy's life. She wasn't thinking about it for a moment, concentrating on what the detective had to inform them abut the charge. She'd done all the steps for Dave to be arrested as soon as possible and Kelly wasn't surprised to find out she's not the only one who claims Dave for sexual abuse. Her friend and also a WWE Diva, Milena Roucka had accused him for abusing her too, but, somehow the fucker pleaded innocent.
"There should be a way to send Dave to jail forever." Kelly said while she and John were already in his car driving away form the police department. She didn't want to wait much time, Dave had done enough damage and he needed to pay as soon as possible.
"I know, but you heard the detective. They need proves and until now there were only complaints." He said paying attention at driving.
"This pisses me off. John I have an idea, what if I fake a situation in which Dave rapes me, and in that moment you come in with the police and they arrest him?" She said with shining eyes. "In this case, the press will find out and so will the others, including Randy. The monster is send to jail and we live happily ever after. "She said clapping her hands.
"I don't know Barbie it's too dangerous. What if something goes wrong and he really hurts you? No Kell, is way too risky and I don't want anything to happen to you." John looked at her. He didn't want anything bad to happen to Kelly, she was like his little sister and he cared too much for her to let her exposed.
"Nothing bad will happen, John. C'mon you have to help me, please!" She begged squeezing his hand.
"Forget it Kell. We'll find another way to prove he has been doing…this kind of things, and we will make it without putting you in a dangerous situation!" He said looking again at her as she frowned. It was hard to win an argument against Cena.
"Hey, um. Did you know about you know, what Randy happened?" She asked looking at him, remembering once again the tragic story.
"Yeah, I did. We were friends by that time. I met Sam and I never liked her attitude. She even tried to get it with me but I turned her down. I worn Randy but he was blinded and he even accused me I tried to sleep with his wife. He was as stubborn as he is now. After he found out the truth about her, he came to apologize and I was there by his side when he had been arrested. We decided never to talk about this again, but you see this really shocked him."
"No wonder he acts like this and doesn't want to believe me. After such an experience it's hard not to be careful when it comes to future." She said with a sigh feeling Randy's pain.
"That's why I told you to take him easy. He got through a shock and he really wasn't ready for the second." John said and parked the car.
"After Dave will be arrested is just a matter of time until he'll come back to me. You know, after he told me this I'm not even mad at him for not trusting me, I feel bad for him and I'll be there when he'll need me. I love him, John." She smiled and noticed that John was far away lost in his own thoughts. "John, why don't you go find her and tell her about your feelings?"
"Huh? Who, me?" John asked confused and Kelly nodded. "I don't know Barbie… You think so?"
"Yes I do. Just get your ass on the plane, fly to LA and get back your woman, because she's yours." Kelly grabbed his hand and held it tight with a warm smile.
"And what about you? What if Dave will try to hurt you again?" He said worried.
"Don't worry, the detective will protect me. He'll cover me up and all; you just go and bring your women back. C'mon, go what are you still doing here?" She laughed and got out of the car. "Call me when you arrive there, ok?" She winked and made her way inside.
Couple of days later ….
Melina and Morrison were getting done the last things for their small wedding. Melina chose her wedding dress and she absolutely loved it. It fitted her so well, and she looked like a princess. She totally felt happy now that she decided to forget about John. She listened to Mickie advice and she will be happy with Morrison because he was the love of her life. Well, at least she should truly try to believe that.
"Melly, what are you doing here, all alone?" Melina's mother asked as she walked inside Melina's old room. She's been there all day, thinking even more than ever about John and about her new life with Morrison. She felt exhausted.
"Nothing, mom, I was just thinking." Melina tried to fake a smile but her mother was the last one she could lie to.
"Is there something that bothers you, honey?" She asked her sitting on the edge of the bed.
"No, well in fact yes. Mom, when you married dad did you feel like you wanted to run away?" Melina asked looking in her mother's eyes.
Her mother laughed. "Well, to tell you the truth, no. When I was about to marry your father I was the happiest woman alive. But, I guess you're just too nervous about all this wedding and that's why you feel overwhelmed." Her mother explained to her and took her hand. "Melina I want to ask you something and I want you to be honest with me." She continued looking serious and Melina nodded. "Are you sure you want to get married? Is John the man you wanna spend your whole life with?"
Melina stayed silent and sighed thinking once again at this question that kept haunting her mind since the proposal. "I don't know, mom. I keep asking myself the same question. I didn't want to get married so soon, but John wants it and I don't wanna disappoint him. But he is truly the man I want to marry."
"Are you sure Melly? Look, it's easy to lie to me and make me think you are happy with John, but it's almost impossible to lie yourself and force yourself love someone that is not who you want him to be." Her mother told her and left the room, hearing the door ringing.
Morrison was in the kitchen preparing dinner when he also heard the door. He left everything there and walked hurried to the door, opening it. The man standing in the doorway left him speechless.
"Hey John, how are you, man?" The man in the doorway said with a grin and gave his hand. Morrison didn't move and he looked clearly unhappy with their new visitor.
"Cena, what are you doing here?" He finally asked.
"Well I had some stuff to do here in LA and I remembered you and Mel are here and I came to say hi." He said smiling looking around to see if his Melina was around.
"That's so nice of you, Cena. We're alright thanks for coming. Melina is not home, but I'll let her know you came by, now bye." He lied and tried to close the door as quickly as he could. John being there definitely ruined his marrying plans.
"John, who's at the door?" Melina's mother asked as she approached the tall man. He just shrugged about to say something when John once again knocked and the old woman opened the door again. "John, what a lovely surprise!" She said smiling and gave John a big hug. "Glad you came in time, darling!" She whispered in his ear and John frown. "You'll stay for dinner, right? Melina will be happy to see you."
"Thank you miss Perez, but I heard she's not home so I don't wanna bother. It's ok I'm glad I saw you." John said polite and gave Morrison a look and he just rolled his eyes.
"Melina is home, she's upstairs. Melina!" Her mother called out her name and John heard her room's door opening. His heart started beating like crazy and he was wondering if the others could hear how fast it beaten. He heard her hurried footsteps and in a blink of an eye, there she was. Beautiful as ever, her hazel eyes met his blue eyes and they both felt like the time just stopped. There was no Morrison and either her mother, just the two of them. She stopped at the staircase staring at him in shocked and he couldn't help himself but stare at her back. God how much he missed her! This was the moment when she should have run in his arms, right? Well instead she walked slowly downstairs shaking in surprise. She didn't expect him to be there, and seeing him definitely made her realize one more time, beyond her amnesia, how much she loved him.
"Hey Mel." He simply said, smiling with his hands in his pockets. Morrison just watched ready to kick John out only if Melina said he could.
"Hey!" She said looking away. Her mom made her a sign but she just ignored it. "What are you doing here?" She finally looked at him trying to be strong. Maybe he came just in time for her to take him out of her life forever.
"Well..." He cleared his throat. He didn't expect Melina to be so distant and cold and seeing her like that confused him. "I had some stuff to do in LA and I wanted to say hi to your mom, and well here you were." He joked and Melina looked away. "I'll go don't worry." He continued.
"No, no, no. You'll stay for dinner you promised. Morries here will cook tonight." Melina's mother said with a warm voice and welcomed John inside.
"If he has stuff to do he should just go fix them." Morrison said and Melina looked at him not sure if she should agree or not.
"John is my guest tonight and if you two like it or not he will stay." Melina mother's snapped and walked with John in the living room, leaving her daughter and her fiancé alone in the hallway.
"What is he doing here, huh?" Morrison asked Melina angry. She backed away.
"I don't know, ok? I didn't know he'll come. Why do you talk to me like that? John is your friend, anyway." Melina defended herself.
"Well, he was." Morrison turned his back and left in the kitchen leaving Melina confused. With a sigh she made her way into the living room finding John and her mother talking. "Um mom, can you leave me and John alone for a second, please?" She asked and her mother stood up quickly and left the room. Melina shyly set next to John, at the other side of the couch. "So... it's been a while since I saw you last time, huh?" She started nervous. She didn't know very well how to start, but one thing it was clear in her mind. John's presence really made her feel weak.
"Yeah, you didn't answer my calls and you acted weird so I needed to see what's going on." John confessed staring at her. He couldn't help it anyway.
"So you came here only for me?" She asked to make sure if she got the point and when John nodded she felt butterflies all over her. How she hated when she felt like that.
"I was worried, Mel." He said honestly. He was now ready to get her back and somehow he needed to make her remember about their short time together.
Melina stood up looking out the window. She couldn't handle the tension anymore. What was he doing? Flirting with her? No, she could never tolerate his forbidden actions.
"And what did you tell Mickie?" She asked still looking far away at the ocean. He should remember who his girlfriend really was instead of playing with her emotions.
"What about her?" John asked confused. "Why is Mickie involved here?" He frowned.
"Oh please John stop it ok?" Melina snapped turning around. "Why are you here saying this stuff to me if you are dating her?" She asked in a lower tone. She didn't want to make Morrison walk in or her mother either. It was a scene she only wanted to share it with John and to end it as quick as possible.
"What? Excuse me Mel, but as I know I'm not dating anyone at the moment. Mickie is definitely not my girlfriend." John said also standing up. There was clearly a misunderstanding or Melina remembered the part when he and Mickie were dating. That mistake he made involving Mickie in his life only to get Melina out of his mind.
"I can't believe you're lying to me John! Mickie told me you two are dating for a while now and you never said a word to me and now you came here saying is not true. How dare you?" Melina snapped again. To hell with Morrison if he heard something or not, this entire situation was getting on her nerves.
"Wait Mel, I think you're missing something. It's true I did date Mickie but that was over a year ago. We broke up soon after your missing. Mel, look at me you know I would never lie to you." He said getting closer looking straight in her eyes.
"I don't know anything, John. Mickie had no reason to lie to me, besides she also told me you think about me that I'm a crazy psycho gone crazy over you. How could you? You know I've dated Morrison for so long and I am not that kind of woman!" She asked him, and John grabbed her by her arm and both walked outside on the beach. He didn't want to be interrupted by Morrison, and he needed all the freedom to explain her how right things were.
"I would never say that about you, Mel. You're the most honest person I know, you wouldn't do that and if you did I'm pretty sure I would respond to you in the same way." John said softly to calm Melina down, but she was just like a typhoon.
"Stop it John! You're driving me crazy. You're dating my best friend, you're dissing me in front of her and now you're flirting with me. What do you want to drive me insane, huh?" She snapped hysterical starting to cry. It had been too much all this time she kept asking herself all this question and now that she had him in front of her was overwhelming to could actually ask him everything that bothered her for so long.
"Mel, calm down!" He grabbed her close to him, clearing away the tears. "Everything Mickie told you is a big lie. I admit I've dated her but I dumped her while ago and trust me I would never say those things about you." He smiled looking in her desperate and confuse eyes. "I would tell everyone that the most amazing woman in the entire world loves me and wants me as her man and besides Mel don't you see? I love you. You and I had shared some beautiful moments, it's just you don't remember yet, but you will one day and I can wait. I swear I can wait a lifetime for you to come back in my arms." He looked in her cried eyes and stroked her hair. "I love you Mel, with all my heart, with all my being. I can't live without your smile, without your sense, without you. Since the first day I saw you I completely got crazy over you." He was about to kiss her but she pushed him away.
"No, John. It's too late. I'm getting married tomorrow." She said and John's world once again crushed down.
In the hotel's restaurant Randy had been there for a while now. He was drinking his third whisky when he was still thinking about Kelly and about the fact that he confessed her. He didn't want to, but he was sick of her to keep trying to talk to him. She had done enough so now that she knew the rest of his story she could get gone as fast as she could. For her own good. He didn't love her anymore, well at least that's how he lied to himself everytime he accidentally met her. He didn't need any other woman in his life and seeing Kelly always around him was too much for him so he decided to move to SmackDown! At least there she won't follow him. He just couldn't handle to see her around him without touching, holding or kissing her. Suddenly someone approached him, but Randy was so lost in his own thoughts that he didn't feel him coming.
"What's up Randall? Crying your eyes out over her again?" He heard the voice that only made him vomit. He turned his blue eyes to the darken one that man had and saw the smirk on his face.
"What the fuck you want Batista?" He simply asked, tired of him and his stupid games.
"Nothing, just talking to my old buddy here." He laughed and tapped his shoulder but Randy moved out of the way. "Did I ever tell you how good it feels being with your women anytime I want?"
Randy stood up having enough of him. "You know asshole. I'm sick of you and of your stupid whore too. Why don't you bring your ass outside and let's see how awesome you are, huh?" Randy left the room followed by Dave, outside in the parking lot. "Let's fix this up like men, if you are man enough." He said being ready to punch Dave.
"We'll see which one of us is man enough." David smirked and went to hit Randy down.
In less than a moment the two were holding punches and hitting one to another. Dave hit Randy and Randy punched Dave back as he fell on the floor.
"This is for messing with me asshole. C'mon stand up and fight me!" He provoked Dave, but he only stood up when he pulled out a gun he had hidden. "What the hell? Put it down, Dave, this was about being men not criminals." Randy said backing away.
"You know what, I'm sick of this game, let's make it more serious. What happened Orton? Aren't you man enough now, huh?" Dave said with a smile. Randy shook his head as he understood the man was completely out of his mind. "I'm gonna send you to hell, jackass and I'll send Barbara with you too for never loving me." He snapped and kicked Randy as he kneeled in pain. "You know Randy, now that you're gonna die; maybe it's time to tell you the truth." Dave continued as he put the gun on Randy's forehead. He was now terrified but he didn't make a move.
"What truth, Dave?" He said and swallowed hard looking at the gun he had on his head. He only prayed he'll see Barbara one more time.
'You're such an idiot, Randall. You always were and ypu will die as an idiot." He laughed. "You're such a stupid bastard that you actually thought Barbara slept with me. You did a great job, congrads! You left your girlfriend being raped by me and you actually believed me instead of her. How stupid can you be?" Dave laughed louder. That's the moment when Randy understood how wrong he was. Kelly never cheated on him, she loved him and all this time she said the truth. Man, he really was slow. "You have no idea what a great satisfaction I had raping her, touching her perfect body, her small and sensitive breasts, her soft skin, kissing her lips. She was all crying for you, struggling and me wanting more and more of her fear. She was mine before yours and she should have stayed that way. Next to me she would have been happy; you only left her when she needed you the most."
"SHUT UP!" Randy shouted. He couldn't listen to it anymore because it pained him too much what he had done to his angel. He was a monster bigger than Dave. He destroyed the only woman that had ever truly loved him and all because of his past. He regretted it, he regretted everything and all he wanted was to erase all this year he and Kelly had been apart.
"Don't tell me what to do!" Dave shouted back pushing the gun tighter to Randy's head. "Say hi to your death, Randy." Right when Dave was ready to pull the trigger, Randy hit Dave's hand and he tried desperately to take the gun away from him. The gun was in-between them both, as they tried hard to fight for it. And then suddenly ... Bang!
"Oh Christ! No!" He said with his eyes wide open. It couldn't be possible.
He fell on the floor in a pool of blood.
