Next Monday on RAW

John and Maria arrived at venue for RAW. The effects of the last Smackdown taping still lingered on the returning stars. Vince was waiting at the entrance for the Smackdown stars.

"John very nice to see you again! And Maria. We need to talk. So if you could follow Stephanie to my office?"

Maria and Stephanie hugged and Maria kissed the baby on the cheek. They left to go into the arena.

"That's a pretty big ring you got her."

"Yes sir. But she's worth every karat."

"You are really in love aren't you?"

"I'm in very deep."

"Haha true. See you inside."

John followed Vince inside. All the RAW stars welcomed John back. He wasn't gone for a long time, but they still missed him. John noticed that Dave and Adam still weren't here. Then he saw Randy storm into the arena.

"Randy what's up?"

Randy looked at John and scowled. John knew he would have to talk to him later. Then the hall got quiet. Every star's eye was on the couple walking down the hall. John saw Courtney have her hand around a pretty big guy. As his eyes moved up to the man's face he could tell why Randy scowled. Dave was walking next to Courtney with his arm around her waist. Some stars welcomed Dave and Courtney. Courtney saw John out of the corner of her eye glaring at her. She just smiled. She knew that he was either jealous or mad or both. She kissed Dave on the cheek to anger John more. Adam walked into the hall and brushed past everyone. John grabbed his arm and pulled him back.

"Let go of me Cena. You're making my belt slide."

"I just want to say welcome back."

"You think I let that night go past me? Hell no it's still clear as hell in my mind. Don't think I'm gonna forgive you that fast Cena."

Adam got out of John's grip and walked to Randy's room. Dave walked to his room, but Courtney stayed behind. She walked over to John.

"John."

"Courtney."

There was aquward silence between them. She hadn't seen him since the airport.

"So you and Dave huh?"

"Yeah. It just happened. But he's a good…."

She stopped mid sentence. She knew is she finished John would go on about what Dave did to Maria. She rested her hand on John's shoulder and looked into his eyes. Why did she do that? She always got weak when she looked into his eyes. John could tell she was lost. She smiled his smile, which made Courtney weak at the knees.

"See you around John."

She ran to Dave's room. John just smiled while he watched her run down the hall. No matter how hard she tried to push him back, there was always that little flame for him. John headed to his room to get ready for the night. He was greeted with a fist to the head.

Maria waited in Vince's office. She knew what he was going to say. She was wrong for going over to Smackdown while she was still on her contract with RAW. She'd be given a warning and off she'd go. Vince entered and immediately sat down.

"Maria you know why you're here I'm guessing."

"Vince I can explain!"

"No need to. You were in love and your heart took control of your mind."

"Thank you for understanding. I know you're giving me a warning. No I'll never do it again. Well I can't but anyways! See you later Vince."

Maria got up to head to the door.

"I'm not done yet Maria."

Maria sat back down in the chair.

"Paul Heyman has offered you a spot on the ECW roster."

"Vince no! I know I went off on my contract but please let me stay!"

"I'm sorry Maria but it's not your choice. You leave tomorrow for a house show in New Jersey."

"Vince please can't we talk about this?"

"I'm sorry Maria. But it says in your contract that if you break it I can decide if you're fired or if you go somewhere else."

Maria pushed the chair away and ran out of the office, leaving the door open behind her. Once she was out of sight, she kneeled on the cold floor and cried. How could Vince do such a thing? Now she's on ECW, which was always far away from John. She would only see him on ECW/RAW super shows! She went to John's room, but he wasn't in there. She called his phone but he didn't answer. Thank god her geeky little cousin put a tracker into John's phone so she could tell where he was. She looked at the tracker. What was John doing in the utility closet? She followed the tracker to the closet. She opened it and found John lying in there with bruises all over.

Trish was sitting at her house in Toronto. The house was dark. She didn't dare open the curtains. Since that night she saw Dave being dragged away by police men she couldn't get him off her mind. She finally decided that she couldn't be in denial anymore. She opened the shades and squinted. It had been a while since she was outside. She had to get to the gym and soon. She took a shower and got in pink shorts and a white beater with her sunglasses on the top of her head and her gym bag in her hand. Before she walked out of the door her phone rang.

"Hello?"

"Trish? It's me Maria."

"Hum I always know when it's you. What's happening?"

"John's been hurt Trish. Really bad. He's been beat up and thrown in a closet. I'm at the arena since Vince won't let me out. Do you know that I'm on ECW now?"

"Shit are you kidding me?"

"No I'm not. But anyways. I know it's a lot to ask but I need you to call Dave and ask where he is."

Trish's heart sank. She hadn't talked to Dave in a long time.

"Fine Maria. I'll call you back."

"Thank you babe soooo much!"

Trish hung up the phone. She headed to her car and headed to the gym. She remembered being told that Dave had visited her in the hospital for a while but that was it. When she got to the gym she opened her call phone and called Dave. He was still 1 on her speed dial. She would have to change that.

"Trish?"

Trish wanted to hang up, but she couldn't.

"Yeah Dave, its Trish. Listen where are you right now?"

"I'm in my room with Courtney…"

Trish's mouth dropped. Another girl? How could he move on so fast? She just got out of denial.

"Who's Courtney?"

"Well she's my……uhh…..she's my girlfriend."

"Oh. I see now. Well anyways John's really hurt and he's in the hospital."

"How do you know these things before me?"

"I always have and I always will. Anyways Maria called me to make sure you weren't part of it."

"Well I wasn't. But it was nice to talk to you again. How are you doing anyways?"

"I'm at the gym. Actually I have to go. Love you."

Trish couldn't believe she said that! She hung up and hit her head on the steering wheel, causing the honker to go off. That scared everyone in the parking lot. Trish ducked so they couldn't see her. She couldn't handle being ambushed right now. After they all left, she got her stuff and headed into the gym. Did she really still have feelings for Dave? How was John? Once she entered the gym, she was bombarded by fans. This was going to be a long night.
