JOHN'S POV:

I shouldn't be in love with her.

It breaks every best friend code.

But it happened.

I couldn't figure out why I fell for her. Sure was beautiful and sweet as can be, but there was something else about her. She was different and incredibly attractive.
Maybe it was how her brown eyes sparkled whenever Randy was around or when she spoke about him. Maybe it was the way she blushed and smiled when he looked at her.

She was everything I could want in a girlfriend but that wasn't it.

Maybe it was because she was his.

But that wasn't going to last forever.

"She wouldn't even speak to me" Randy said. He called me early in the morning because he couldn't get her off of his mind.

"She's hurt right now" I explained. Randy sighed.

"I called her house phone and got the machine"
"She's in Jersey-"

"Oh yeah that's right" Randy replied. He sighed again. "Alexandria can be so….difficult, dude. I mean, if she feels one way about something, there's no changing her. And if she's angry at me, shit, there's DEFINETLY no changing her. She's so stubborn it pisses me off sometimes… I can't stand seeing her angry and then she avoids me on purpose…I don't know anymore…I need to go get her"

"What?"
"I need to go get her…maybe I should show up in Stamford or some shit…then she would have no choice but to listen to me"

No, no, no, bad idea because Alex would fall right back into his arms.
"I don't think so, she's still upset"
"Damn I hate this. I wish she would just answer her god damn phone"
Too bad, I thought. They were heading downhill faster than a roller coaster at Six Flags and who would be there to comfort her? Me.

"So…what's goin on between you and Stacy?" I asked digging for some more information.

"Nothing. Nothing's going on. She wants to get back with me but I couldn't do that to Alex."
"You sure about that?" I asked.

"What?"

"I'm just sayin…its seems like you want to. You're already hurting Alex and you spend more time with Stacy than with her"
"Don't talk to me about how I treat my girl" Randy snapped.

"Cuz you don't treat her right" I countered.
"Right and I bet you could do better, huh?" he asked arrogantly. Damn right I could.

"I'm just sayin, Ran-"

"Don't tell me shit about me and my girlfriend. I love her and she loves me and that's it…you're supposed me my best friend"
"I was just saying Randy, damn, calm down"
"No. I don't need my best friend criticizing my relationship. I never said shit about you and what the fuck her name was. I minded my god damn business so don't do this shit to me John"
"Alright, alright" I said hoping that Randy would calm down. He exhaled loudly. "You guys don't have trust that's the problem. Alex doesn't trust you." Randy didn't say anything. "She gets pissed every time you're around Stacy cuz she thinks you're gonna cheat on her..." There was more silence. I could tell Randy was considering every word I said. Since he was actually listening to what I said I decided to continue.

"She's had tough relationships in the past" Randy explained.

"I'm sorry Rand, but you know a relationship is nothing without trust and if Alex doesn't trust you man….maybe it's not worth it" Please work, I prayed silently. Just say 'John, you're right I don't want her if she doesn't trust me. It's over' and then it's John to the rescue.
"John…you know I've never been like this over anyone before. I don't want to hear this shit. I love her, what the hell are you trying to say?"
"It's up to you Rand, if you want to go through a relationship we're you're always accused of cheating"

"I'm not goin to do this shit. Ill talk to you later" and he hung up. I closed my phone and shoved it into my pocket.
What was I doing?
It was obvious that my relationship with Randy was changing ever since Alex came along. Stacy had nothing to lose.

I was going to lose my best friend just to get his girlfriend.

I guess you always have to give something up to get what you want.

00000000000

Stacy called me later. She sounded tired. "Don't you ever fell badly about what we're doing?"
"Sometimes…" I answered. "Randy and I were close and-"

"Taking his girlfriend away from him is going to ruin your friendship" Stacy answered for me.

Damn, she took the words right out of my mouth. I sighed.

"Well…yeah"

"I know that if I was in Alex's place I would be upset too" Stacy said softly. "But I'm not…" I suddenly came over with a dislike for Stacy, mainly because I realized that she was hurting Alex. Stacy was a self-centered bitch only looking out for what she wanted but wasn't that me too? "I just want what's mine John, you know?"
"…I guess"
"Think about it like this in the end I'll have Randy and you'll have Alex and everything will be the way we want it to be"
"…right" She was a cold-hearted bitch who couldn't let go of the fact that Randy had moved on. Why didn't she move on? Maybe she really truly loved Randy.

"Are you okay John?" she asked. "No second thoughts, right? Because this was all your plan and you better not give up now"
"I'm okay and I'm not giving up on this, it's gonna work" I reassured her. Thoughts of me and Alex together flashed in my mind. I could see her smiling at me her dark eyes sparkling after I told her how much I lover her, then she'd tell me that she loves me too and we'd spend the rest of our lives together.

"Good… Good" she said happily. "I got to go John. We'll talk later because now is the time to work the plan"
"Okay"

"Bye"

0000000000000

Alex called me later on that day. She sounded happy which made me wonder if she was over Randy.
"Hey John!" she said, her voice full of laughter.

"What's up Alex?"
"I'm just hangin out…you?"
"Same"
"I'm getting Casey to e-mail me the draft results as soon as they come in" she said.
"Who's Casey?"
"My secretary" she replied.

"Oh, excuse me, Miss Taylor with your secretary" I said. She laughed.

"I hope Randy goes to RAW, that would be so much fun" she said.

"Yeah"
"And that way Stacy could stay her punk ass on Smackdown and my problems would be done." She said happily. "And we could hang out all the time"

"Guess who I spoke to today?"
"I don't know…Flava Flav?" she giggled.
"No" I laughed.

She coughed. "Orton, huh?"
"Yep"
"How is he?" she asked.

"Good…" I began. "He's really doing good"
"Oh…" I told from her tone that she was upset. She didn't want to hear that Randy was doing good because they hadn't seen each other in weeks. "I really can't wait to see him" Wait…what? I thought she was mad at him…hopefully mad enough to leave him.
"I thought you were mad at him"

She sighed. "I was…but you know, this break as really helped me out in a lot of ways. It helped me to realize how much I want this and how much I love him" I didn't say anything because, shit, there was nothing to say. I realized then that maybe Stacy and I were in over our heads with this. We were trying to break a love that would not end. "Love is really a great thing…" she spoke softly.

"Yeah"
"And you wont tell me about the special girl in your life" she teased. "She is a lucky girl"
"No comment" I laughed.

"What's her name?" she demanded. Alexandria, I thought.

"Not telling" I said.

"Well I hope you and not telling are having a wonderful relationship" she giggled.

"I wish…" I grumbled.

"Huh?"
"Nothing"
"Do I know her?" she pried.

"No"
"Hmmm…." She said pensively. "Alright John, I get it you don't want to tell me but that's okay, I still love ya anyway"

"Awwww…really?" I mocked.
"Yes John, you are like one of my best friends but don't tell Angel that she'll lose her damn mind" she laughed. But I want to be more than the best friend, I thought. "Speaking of which I gotta call her, her wedding is getting closer and she's turning into a real Bridezilla."

"Alright, I'll speak to you later"
"Bye John!" she said.

"Bye"
