Ryder sat in the trainer's room and nervously watched as the match unfolded. Randy was clearly in pain but he still managed to keep the upper hand over Cena. John was targeting Randy's shoulder and he knew it was working; the more pain Randy was in the less he could fight back, But Randy wasn't about to give up so easily.

Ryder watched intently praying that Randy's shoulder would hold out, her focus was suddenly taken away from the TV over to an extremely angry Hunter. He stormed over to Ryder and grabbed her arm picking her up and facing her towards the TV.

"What did you do to him?!" Hunter growled and turned her back towards him. "He was in no way fit enough to compete tonight! You could have cost Cena the championship!" He snapped at her.

Ryder was scared out of her mind, she had never seen Hunter this mad before. "I wasn't told not to work on him; I thought he was up against Wade?" Ryder said shakily.

"Don't give me that bullshit Ryder." Hunter grabbed Ryder by the hair and faced her to the TV again. "Your little friend John told me you knew, and you still helped Randy?"

Ryder held onto Hunters hand that was basically attached to her hair and tried to get him to let go. "I'm sorry! It won't happen again, I made a mistake!" Ryder pleaded with him.

He pulled her closer and looked her straight in the eye. "Don't let it happen again, or you will regret the moment you ever met Randy Orton." Hunter smiled just as the Referee counted "1,2,3! Here is your winner and new WWE Champion; John Cena!"

Hunter looked back to Ryder. "You got lucky this time." He let go of her hair and left the room to go and congratulate his new champion. Ryder's eyes were glued to the TV as she watched the EMT's take Randy from the Ring, he was screaming in pain. All Ryder wanted to do was run down to the ring and help but she knew where her place was now.

Ryder went straight back to her hotel, she didn't congratulate John, and didn't see Randy after he was hurt. She sat on her bed and looked at her phone. She wanted nothing more to call Randy and make sure he was ok, but she didn't want him or her to lose their jobs.

Just as Ryder was about to dial Randy's number, John burst through the door closely followed by Hunter; championship in hand. Ryder stood up and smiled as much as she could, Hunters eyes immediately set upon Ryder.

"Well I did it!" John beamed with excitement as he went over and hugged Ryder.

"You sure did, I'm so proud of you." Ryder lied; proud was the last thing she was of John for cheating.

"All for you." John smiled and leant down to Ryder's surprise and kissed her passionately.

Ryder pulled away swiftly and looked at John. "What was all that about?"

Hunter stepped in. "We think it would be ideal for the champion it have a love interest; makes things more interesting." He said with a smirk.

"But why couldn't you use one of the Divas?" Ryder was still confused why she was being brought into this.

"Hunter told me you were in love with me" John smiled and pulled Ryder close to him "and I feel that way too."

"It works better with real chemistry; and I can promise you a large pay raise Ryder." Hunter smiled he had lied to Cena but she didn't have much choice; it was this or the unemployment line.

"I'm in." Ryder smiled reluctantly, not knowing what she was getting herself into.

Ryder spent the night wide awake being clung onto by her new 'boyfriend' she loved John, but as a brother not a lover.

When she woke the next morning, John was nowhere to be seen. She looked over to her phone; it was 12pm which means he had turned her alarm off. There was a note on the pillow next to her.

Morning Beautiful,
I'll be training today so you take it easy.
I love you.

John xx

Ryder sighed and put the note back down. She picked her phone up to message him and noticed she had an unread message.

Randy 7:15am
If you're wondering where I am I'm
at the airport, I've been sent home to
recover for 6-8 weeks. I'm sorry I lost
last night, but I was set up to fail.
xo

Ryder's heart sank, she didn't want him to be sorry for losing, she just wanted him to be ok. She got out of bed and got dressed, she had to figure out a way to go home and make sure he was ok.

She took a deep breath and knocked on Hunters hotel room door.

He opened the door in nothing but a towel; he had just come out of the shower. "Oh hello Ryder, please do come in." He held the door open as Ryder slowly walked inside. She sat down on the couch as he closed the door and turned to her. "What do you want?" he snapped. "Can't you see I'm busy?" he pointed to the towel around his waist.

"Yeah um, I'm sorry I can come back if you want." Ryder stood up but was met with Hunter towering over her.

"You're here now you might as well get it over with." He growled.

She sat back down and twiddled her thumbs. "I was wondering if I could just have a few days off to go back to my old job and get some work done, it's just I have a tonne of paper work I haven't finished yet and if I'm going to be on the road all the time its better I get it done now." Ryder said as quickly as possible.

Hunter sighed. "As you know, Christmas is next week so taking the rest of this week and next week and then we will start your storyline when the New Year is in." Hunter smiled and then lent down to level. "But make sure this doesn't happen again ok. You get weekends and that's it after this, got it?"

Ryder nodded and preceded towards the door, she turned around as she reached the door. "Thankyou, Hunter."

He followed her and got right in her face. "That's Mr. Helmsley to you."

Ryder nodded once again and left the room scared for her life, but it didn't matter, she ran back to her room and packed her belongings, leaving a note for John to let him know where she was going. She grabbed her bags and made her way to the airport.

It felt like a long flight, she just wanted to be back home with Randy. For once she knew what it felt like for him going home to her. Finally she arrived and went to grab a taxi, the drive thankfully wasn't long, but unfortunately Randy wasn't home. She took her bags and used the key in the pot plant next to his door.

She unlocked the door and stepped into the house, as soon as she did her mind filled with memories of that night. She shook her head and sat down on the couch, hoping Randy wouldn't be gone for long.

Randy stepped though the door, he brushed the snow off his jacket and took it off. He noticed the fire was on but he defiantly didn't leave it burning when he left, at least he thought he didn't. He walked around the corner into the kitchen and to his surprise there was Ryder, cooking away.

"Ry? What are you doing here?" Randy smiled as he walked over to Ryder and put his good arm around her.

"Spending Christmas with you! What does it look like?" she laughed as she put both her arms around him. "I told them I had to go and finish some work off at the hospital, but I needed to make sure you were ok." She smiled.

"Well I just got a lot better now." Randy couldn't believe she came to see him. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"I wanted you to know what it felt like for me to have you come home." Ryder giggled and continued on with dinner.

It was getting late; Randy's pain medication was beginning to kick in so he went off to bed, leaving Ryder watching TV, she was flicking through the channels but nothing took her attention, she couldn't get her mind off going upstairs, she needed too because Randy had moved all her things but she was too scared.

After giving herself the courage, she took each step slowly, the night flashed through her mind and she couldn't ignore it. Tears caressed her face; she bolted up the stairs and ran into Randy's room balling her eyes out.

Randy sat up to see Ryder sitting on the bed next to him crying her eyes out. He instantly pulled her into his arms; he winced forgetting he didn't have his sling on. "What's wrong Ry, its ok I'm here" He tried to comfort her.

"I can't do it Randy I can't go into that room." She cried

Randy wanted to hit himself, how could he leave her down there by herself.

"It's ok you don't have too, you stay in here ok? I'll stay in there." Randy began to get up but Ryder pulled him back down. "Please don't leave me alone." She begged him.

Randy knew she was hurting; now more than ever. He smiled and nodded "Let me grab your bags I'll be 1 minute."

Randy brought them into his room and to his surprise Ryder was curled up under the blanket wearing one of his shirts.

"You don't want something warmer?" Randy laughed.

Ryder shook her head "You took too long."

"Well sorry for only having one working arm." He laughed. "If you want to freeze to death that's fine." Randy said as he turned the light off and climbed back into bed.

"I won't" Ryder whispered as she snuggled right up next to Randy.

Randy smiled and put his good arm around her, holding her close. This was as close to heaven as he could get.
