Chapter 5: Mental Breakdowns

It had been a few days since the funeral and Stacy still hadn't come out of her room and Torrie was worried that something is going to happen in the future for her, Torrie went up to the room and knocked on the door in hopes of hearing from her or maybe even her opening the door.

"Stacy, please open the door." Torrie begged but nothing, "at least say something so I know that you're okay."

Torrie put her ear on the door and she heard a very faint, "I'm fine." Even though it wasn't loud enough at least she knew she was alive and somewhat responsive. Torrie nodded and went back down to John, who was on the couch watching something.

"Any luck?" John asked.

"Do you see her?" Torrie answered angrily as John looked kind of embarrassed over asking it. "Sorry I'm just frustrated and angry over this whole thing, I just don't know what to do anymore. There's no one that can relate to her, she may never come out." Torrie sat on the couch and sighed. John wrapped his arm around her and hugged her to try and comfort her.

"Don't worry, you'll think of something, there has to be a person out there that you know that can get to Stacy."

Torrie's eyes lit up and she jumped up, "I figure out someone!" She said excitedly as she kissed John on the cheek and ran upstairs to use the phone.

John smiled as he watched her go up and then he heard the door close when it did his expression changed. He went to disbelief and confusion as he was thinking of something, he closed his eyes and went into a deep thought.

John's thoughts:

"What happened? How could this be? I got my ass whipped by a guy I know I can take down. But why didn't I? What's worse is that he's still out there and I'm stuck and don't know what to do. And what about Christian, he knows something about this dude but I can't figure it out. Now I can't ask him because he's run off and is hiding somewhere and I lost all contact with him. I can't let Torrie know, she has too many problems already with Stacy and I don't want her to stress about this either. She must never know and I can't give away any clues about this."

John's eyes shot open as he saw Torrie running down the stairs with a big smile on her face and she jumped on the couch to face John.

"I've made a phone call and my friend is coming tomorrow to help out with the Stacy situation." Torrie said, John nodded and smiled as Torrie hugged him with excitement as John looked on with concerned eyes.

Edge was sitting in his little office with Lita on the lap as he plotted the next step in his master plan.

"Okay we have Orton out, we need to take the next step we need to take out one of the other three, either John, Torrie or Stacy, it don't matter to me we have to do something." Edge said.

"We have Stacy in a bad situation, it'll be easy to take her out." Lita said.

"No, she's about to be better because of Torrie's call to her friend, and I know who it is and you're not going to be happy about it." Lita looked at him with interest, Edge whispered something to her and she jumped up with anger.

"What?! HER?! It can't be, I've ruined her life already and I thought she was done with life. I broke her down so much that she doesn't dare leave her house, she's worse than Stacy. If she gets in the way, I'll make sure she never comes back."

"Babe, we'll get her in due time, but for my money the next target should be Cena. He's broken down, I broke him down to the point that he won't fight me anymore and if he does he still can't beat me." Edge smiled as he leaned back in his chair.

That Night:

John and Torrie were in bed, sleeping away but John was shifting uncomfortably, sweating bullets, he was tossing and turning.

John's Dream

John was standing in the middle of nowhere, looking around, he then saw Torrie standing a distance away. He ran over but a car zoomed past him and stopped right in front of John and in between the two. Out from the car came Edge, and John looked on with fear and anger.

"Cena, you want your girl, you gotta go through me!" Edge said.

Cena looked on and he didn't know what to do, he knew he couldn't beat Edge, "Edge, we don't have to fight, just settle this like people."

"Typical answer from a chicken shit!" Edge responded, Cena just stared at him, Edge got in the car, and moved it, John thought it was over, and he ran over to Torrie, but just as he was about to get to her a bullet rang out and as it was about to hit Torrie…

John popped up from their bed, breathing heavily, he looked over at Torrie sleeping peacefully and he calmed down, he laid back down but his mind was obviously on something else.

The Next Day

John and Torrie were on the couch waiting for their guest to arrive that can help with this situation.

"Are you sure she can help?" John asked.

"Yeah she hasn't been in a situation that has been this serious but I think she can help." Torrie answered as the door bell rang.

Torrie opened the door and there stood two women.

"Someone said you needed me." One of them asked.

"Trish you'll never change." Torrie said as she hugged her friend, "By the way who is your friend?"

"Oh, this is Ashley, she's my friend from New York, I told what's up and she decided to come by with me." Torrie shook her hand and let them in.

John got up and greeted his guests, Torrie sat down with Trish and Ashley and explained the situation.

"Don't worry, I think I can get to her, let's go." Trish said as they went upstairs. They went up and they knocked on the door asking to open up, but nothing.

"Come on Stace, I just want to talk to you, I just want to check on you, please just open the door." Torrie begged. They all waited and then they heard a click, Torrie held onto the door and it moved and they slowly entered the room.

They walked in and were shocked at what they saw, the room was still the same, it was clean, organized and nothing seemed to happen. The only thing that was a mess was the bed where Stacy spent most of her time, it was shriveled and messy as expected. Stacy sat on the bed with her head down as the other three sat on the floor in front of her.

"Stace, we understand, you're hurting right now but you can't just sit here and mope all day. You have a life to live and you know it's something Randy wants you to do." Torrie said hoping to get to her. Stacy looked up at her, her eyes blood red from all the crying and then lowered her head again as it was Trish's turn to talk.

"Listen, I may not know you but from what I've heard you're a good hearted person that's been through a lot. You have gone through a lot, but this is the hardest, but you're strong person inside, I can see that in you, the only thing you could do is listen to what Randy told you. He wants you to live and be yourself, that's the only the thing you could do, just continue your life, I'm not saying go out and meet a bunch of guys just continue your life. You have to go out and try, try and have some fun, don't disappoint Randy's last wish, you have to live it, and you need to do it now." Trish said in the most comforting way.

Stacy looked her in the eyes, Trish could see possibly anger in her eyes, Trish was feeling disappointed that she couldn't convince her with that. Then Stacy's expression changed, she was thinking, she let out a small smile then she started to open her mouth.

"You're right, the only way I can have some sort of connection to Randy is to do what he told me to do. Now I must do it, thanks." Stacy got up and hugged Trish as a way of thank you. "Thank you so much, how do you know what to say? Have you experienced something like this before?" Stacy asked.

Trish stopped and thought for a second, she's been in a situation like this but wasn't as serious; in fact she's been in situations like this a few times. Trish got up and excused herself after hearing the question to the confusion of Torrie and Stacy. Trish left the house for a walk leaving Torrie and Stacy to figure out what's wrong.

"Was it something I said?" Stacy asked.

"Let's just say she's had some bad memories." Ashley said, not wanting to go into detail just yet, as Stacy and Torrie just stood there confused.

John was in the living room, he saw Trish walk out but didn't think too much of it, he tried to watch TV but again his mind was not focused on anything except the fact that he's a weak person. He was unstoppable, he escaped death a few times, killed JBL after a long chase. He thought JBL was the toughest fight of his life and it took everything he had and then some to beat him. He did everything and did everything he could and had against Edge and Edge wiped the floor with him. What was wrong with him?

Edge was looking over a table with a layout of something and pointing things out to Lita.

"Now that it's set, we put it into action, tomorrow John Cena goes down!" Edge said followed with his sadistic smile.

A/N: Sorry for the delay, busy as usual, but I'm glad I got one out. This is my test chapter to see if there's see a group that wants to read my stories.
