Hey guys, long time no speak...You're all mad at me aren't you? Like I said last chapter, sorry very sorry. But like I promised here's part 1 of the 2 part finale to my first story ever. This will be the first multi-chapter series that I will have ever completed. -pats self on the back- Sorry for grammar mistakes and such, I might be an adv English student, but I have no beta and I tend to be lazy and do chat-speak. Sorry if this sucks too, my writing skills have sucked after I've been forced to do M.E.A.L. format for centuries. So without further yammering, enjoy.

"You're getting what now?"

"What?"

"I barely know ya, but congratulations lass that's great!"

A blend of emotions and varying results all came from the phone at once and overwhelmed the blondes.

"Now don't all shout at once." One of the blondes huffed and the people on the other line settled down.

"Tiff I've known you all my life, and you tell me this over the phone instead of in person? I bet I'm not the first one either." Randy pretended to be offended, but in reality he slightly was.

"I told Evan first, but he didn't answer so I left him a voice mail." He scoffed. Randy just knew she was smiling widely on the other hand. Tiffany always enjoyed teasing Randy or making him agitated.

"Oh by the way, thanks Sheamus, at least someone is happy about all this." Kelly interjected preventing Randy and Tiffany from starting something.

"Anytime lass, any friend of Randal and Evan is a friend of mine."

"Me too." Layla jumped into the conversation stealing Sheamus' phone for a second. "Congratulations sweetheart."

"Thanks Layla." Tiffany barely knew Layla at all, but Kelly seemed to know her. After all they did go to the same gym in high school when they both did gymnastics.

"You're seriously getting married to Drew? That guys a dou-" AJ quickly covered Punk's mouth as everybody else shhh'ed him.

"He's a what now?" Tiffany asked clearly confused.

"He's a...do-gooder. Yeah, Punk can't stand kindness." Everybody looked at AJ skeptically. She only shrugged her shoulders.

"Ah I see. Well anyways do any of you know where Evan is? I've been trying to reach him since yesterday and he hasn't responded. I've left him like 20 voice mails already."

"Hmm, now that you mentioned it, I haven't seen Evan at all today. Have any of you guys heard from him?" Everybody shook their heads. Punk scoffed.

"You're his brother and you don't know where he is? How should any of us know then?"

"Just asking jeez." Randy shrugged. "We'll go look for him, you just sit back, relax and plan your dream wedding alright?"

"Thanks Randy,you're the best."

"Uh no, that would be me. Best in the World actually." Punk smirked and AJ gently slapped his shoulder.

"Punk, shut up. They're talking."

"Fine. Carry on." He folded his arms and mumbled something inaudible to everybody else. Randy gave a small chuckle then turned back to the phone.

"Hey Tiff, can you give the phone to Kelly for a second? And turn off speaker."

"Uh, sure. Here ya go Kelly. I'll be downstairs if you need me." She gave the phone to her sister and took her laptop with her out of the room.

"What's up Randy?"

"Uh, I was just thinking um, would you mind going out to dinner for me? Think of it as a thank you for helping me with the whole Sam issue."

"Sure, sounds like fun, what time?"

"Pick you up at 7?"

"Great, it's a plan Randal. Meet you in a few." She hung up and he instantly grinned. When he turned towards his coworkers they all have looks of mischief plastered on their faces.

"Well, well, if it isn't playboy Randy?"

"We should change your nickname from the Apex Predator to the Girlfriend-Snatching Predator."

"Or maybe Homewrecker Viper."

"Guys, shut it. It's not a date at all. Besides she's dating Cody remember." They all groaned and rolled their eyes.

"Come on Randy, let's face it. We all know you like her." John stated as everybody nodded their heads in agreement.

"Plus, with that mustache, I don't think any girl would want to date him."

"Amen Mike." Layla gave him a high five.

"Annnd we also know that Cody's been anything, but faithful to Kelly over these past couple of months. So why not use this opportunity to make her yours?" Everybody voiced their approval after that statement, but Randy just shook his head.

"No guys I can't go that. I can't do that to Kelly. She loves Cody."

"Correction, she likes Cody. Never once has she mentioned love." Eve clarified.

"Exactly," Punk had to add his two cents." Now I'm not usually all for being the reason why a relationship ends, but he's a massive jerk and a dick. Go save your friend from heartbreak Randal. Even if you won't date her at least tell her he's been cheating."

"Do you really think I should?" Everybody facepalmed.

"Yes!" They all shouted in unison.

"Alright, alright jeez calm down you guys. Well I gotta go prepare for later, can you guys try to find Evan for me?" They nodded. "Thanks, see ya." He shut the door and John just sighed.

"I swear, old Randy was an idiot, but new Randy is just a dense brick."

"He's still less dense then you John boy." John just frowned as Punk and Mike laughed.

"Why are you getting all dolled up for?" She raised an eyebrow as her sister began applying eyeliner in front of the huge mirror in her bedroom.

"I have plans for tonight."

"What, a romantic get together with Cody perhaps?" She stopped applying her eyeliner and turned around to look at the smirk plastered on her sister's face. Once their eyes met, her sister quickly went back to looking at the laptop.

"No, I'm going to dinner with Randy tonight." Her sister's head rose up from looking at the laptop to look at her.

"You finally broke up with Cody?" She scoffed.

"No Tiff, I've told you a million times already, I like him and he likes me. We aren't breaking up for a while."

"Sis, you know I love you and I support you no matter what. But seriously, Cody's a douche."

"Say whatever you want, I'm not going to listen." She heard her sister sigh and begin typing on the keyboard again.

"Then why are you having dinner with Randy tonight?"

"He wants to treat me tonight, says he wants to thank me for helping him deal with the whole Sam ordeal."

"Maybe he wants to court you."

"Tiffany," she stopped applying her makeup again and looked at her sister. "Randy wouldn't do that. He's my best friend."

"And he loves you."

"Yeah, in a best friend way."

"Kelly stop." She put her laptop aside. "Randy's had a crush on you since high school. The only reason he didn't act upon his feelings was because of what you're doing right now, you're friendzoning him."

"Pfft, am not. Randy has never had those kind of feelings for me. If he did he would've said something by now."

"But you know Randy's personality Kelly. If he sees that you're happy, he won't want to step in and ruin that for you. You always seemed so happy when you were in high school dating whoever. He wouldn't want to step in and be the cause of your unhappiness."

"...Even if he really did have feelings for me its too late now, he knows that I like Cody and we're happily in a relationship."

"Kelly-"

"I won't hear anymore of that folly that you're spouting. Now how's the wedding planning going?"

Her sister sighed in defeat and went back to typing on her laptop.

"It's long and agonizing really. I have to consider every little detail from the color of the plates to what kind of forks and knives I want. It's rather tedious." Kelly chuckled.

"And you've been wanting a wedding since you were a child, kind of regret it now don't ya?" Tiffany began rubbing her temples.

"Well when I need it planned out and have everything set up by Friday it proves to be a lot more challenging than once thought. If Drew didn't need to go back so soon then I could take my time with this. He wants to marry me as soon as possible."

"Then get your certificate and have the wedding later."

"He says he's in line for a big push soon so later on he won't have any time at all. Better now than later."

"That sounds great for him, but horrible for you. You won't be able to see him as often anymore."

"I know, its a bother but this is what I signed up for being in a relationship with a WWE superstar."

"Its what we both signed up for." She finished applying the last bit of her makeup. "Now I'm going to pick out an outfit for tonight, are you going to be okay by yourself?"

"Yeah I should be fine, I'll be stuck indoors planning and attempting to contact Evan."

"Still haven't found him yet." Tiffany shook her head.

"Sadly no, he hasn't been answering my calls. The last time I talked to him was right before I went to the restaurant with Drew."

"Hmm that's odd then. Evan always answers his cell."

"I know, and it's not like his phone is off or anything either. Could he be avoiding me?" Kelly couldn't help but laugh.

"That's silly Tiffany, you're his best friend, why would he ignore you. You haven't done anything to make him mad or anything...or have you?"

"I don't think so. He seemed pretty happy the last time I saw him."

"Evan's pretty good at masking his real emotions with a smile you know." This only made Tiffany more suspicious and guiltier.

"Well don't worry yourself about it. I'm sure Randy or the rest of the gang will find him, so focus more on the wedding and leave Evan to us."

"I hope you're right..."

"I must say Orton your taste in good expensive food hasn't changed." He chuckled as she took another forkful of spaghetti from her plate.

"Well when you're a spoiled rich brat like yours truly, you naturally develop an appreciation of the grander things in life." She nodded as he took another bite out of his steak.

"Plus, I was planning to dine out with you so I knew I had to step up my game. You're a great appreciator of good food after all."

"Calling me fat Randal?" She playfully pouted.

"No not at all fatass." He smirked and she whacked him on the arm.

"Jerk."

"And don't I know it." They both shared a good laugh before the restaurant door opened. Randy nonchalantly glanced over at the newly arriving couple and immediately became speechless.

Kelly noticed his skin paling slightly and his eyes growing wider becoming concerned with his condition.

"Randy are you okay? You look like you've seen a ghost." He turned back to face her and swallowed the lump in his throat. He attempted to hide his shock, but she saw through it.

"Uh, I'm fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Positive Kelly." She looked at him skeptically, but decided to go with it for now. A few minutes went by before the gentlemen sitting two tables away from them got up and excused himself with his company staying behind. It was then that Randy decided to excuse himself as well.

The young man stood outside and lit a cigarette. He took a big puff out of it before removing it from his mouth. Even through the smoke, Randy's tall figure could still be seen quickly approaching.

"Hey Randy, whats up? I didn't know you were here on vacation."

"Don't 'whats up' me Cody." The young man widened his eyes in shock.

"Hey Randy, come on man what's wro-"

"You're cheating on Kelly aren't you?" The question caught Cody off guard.

"Don't make false accusations Orton."

"They aren't false when there is proof sitting right in front of my face eating with a young woman that isn't Kelly."

"Okay, fine so what? I'm just looking for a little fun. Why are you so worried?"

"Because Kelly's my friend you son of a bitch." He grabbed a hold of Cody's collar.

"Really now? Are you sure? I'm pretty sure that you two have been more than friends for a while now."

"What? What are you trying to accuse me of?"

"I know you have feelings for her Randy, everybody does. But you know you can't have her because she's mine. You'll never be enough for her. You're jealous of my relationship with her Randy I know it. I don't know why you like her so much though. That skank can't do anything useful except pander to me anyways. But no matter, I guess she can help me with housework and such. Do you know why, because she loves me more than she could ever love you you worthless piece of trash."

Randy balled his fists, his temper flaring after the comments he heard about Kelly. He lifted his fist and leaned backward.

"You son of a-"

"Randy stop!" Just when his fist was about to collide with Cody's face, he was stopped by a familiar voice. They both turned to see Kelly standing there with an unreadable expression.

"How much of that did you hear?" Randy lowered his face.

"Kelly sweetheart what are you doing here?" Cody tried to grin innocently, but she just narrowed her eyes.

"I heard and saw enough. Really Cody, I thought you were smart enough to at least cheat in private." She began taking small steps towards the two men.

"What do you mean sweetheart?" He tried to look confused and innocent. Randy rolled his eyes.

"Too late for that now pretty boy."

"I can't believe you'd throw our 3 year relationship away just like a useless piece of trash. Was all those years for nothing? If so, I regret wasting my time with a cowardly dumbass like you."

'Kelly I can expl-"

SMACK!

Cody held his now reddened cheek and turned to look into Kelly's cold eyes with shock all over his face.

"You disgust me Cody Runnels. Both with your cowardly cheating, and your backstabbing of your good friend. Randy is a better man than you'll ever be."

Cody gritted his teeth.

"Listen here you bitch-"

"Don't talk to her like that." Cody smirked.

"Okay lover boy, crazy bitch. You'll pay for this, you'll both pay. I'll make you regret ever dumping me, and you, I'm gonna kick your ass in the ring. I don''t need this." He turned and walked away angrily huffing.

"Now that that's settled." Kelly turned around and appeared as if she was going to walk away.

"Kelly wait." She stopped, but didn't turn around. "How much of that did you hear?"

"Bits and pieces, but I did listen long enough to find out about his cheating and the fact that you've been in love with me for a while now." His heart stopped beating and his blood turned cold. She turned around and looked him in the eyes.

"Why didn't you tell me Randy?"

"Because you seemed so happy with that douche and I didn't want to ruin it for you. It wouldn't seem fair for me to put that burden on you after I've already caused you so much sadness. I just wanted you to be happy." He lowered his head, nervously looking at the ground.

Unbeknownst to him she approached him. She grabbed a hold of his collar and pulled him down for a kiss. He froze, surprised by both the kiss and by the fact that it had started to rain. He soon reciprocated the kiss and they stayed like that for what seemed like forever.

When they pulled away Kelly hugged Randy tightly and buried her face into his chest.

"I thought my feelings that I had been harboring for so long would never reach you." She mumbled into his chest, but he heard them loud and clear.

"I've loved you since high school. I thought it was just a measly crush, but then it didn't leave. Not when you broke my heart 10 years ago and left with the bits and pieces, and it hasn't since. It's only been growing all these years." She pulled away from him slightly and even though it was raining, he could see the trace of tears going down her face.

"I couldn't be happier right now." She smiled and he couldn't help but feel his nervous feelings fade away.

"I know how to make you happier. I want to at least."

"How?" She looked confused. He bent down so that their foreheads were touching.

Before she could ask another question he captured her lips with his and they shared a passionate kiss full of love and relief. Everything they had been through together, everything they had to overcome all seemed worth it in this moment. After they broke away from the kiss they both just stood there in the rain in silence for a few minutes, just enjoying the others company. They knew that they would most likely be sick, but they didn't care. In that moment the only thing that mattered was each other.

She sat in her bed surrounded by piles of scattered papers mostly from work. She sighed and fell back against the pillows. She glanced down at her phone slightly frowning.

She had texted him 5 minutes ago asking where he was hoping to get response. No one had been in contact with him for 3 days and everybody was growing worried.

A million thoughts began to swirl in her head. Was he hurt? Was he visiting someone? Did he forget his phone? Did it run out of batteries or break? Then the one possible explanation that she hoped wasn't the cause came into her head.

Is he purposely avoiding me?

She clutched a pillow closer to her chest. She hoped with all her heart that that wasn't the real reason. She would hate to be the reason why he's hurting, if he was. She would hate to be the reason why he secluded himself from the world which he did often when he was depressed.

She jumped at the sound of her phone ringing. She immediately grabbed it and read the screen.

1 new text message. She held her breath as she opened it, recognizing the sender's name.

"The place where this all started, will be where it all comes to an end." She read the text message out loud and became confused. Why would he send her something cryptic and enigmatic like this? Especially after disappearing for days, why send the message now? Or better yet, why did he send the message in the first place.

She contemplated what he meant by the place where it all started. The hospital where he was born? No that would be too impersonal. What could he possibly mean?

Wait a second. What exactly did he mean by 'this'? After centering on that one word for a moment, she finally figured it out. She jumped out of bed, took her car keys and ran outside.

She ran through the park whipping her head left and right searching frantically. Where was he? This was the only place she could think of him being. This was where it all began after all.

She came to a halt when she got to the playground. She saw him sitting on the monkey bars swinging his legs back and forth carelessly looking up at the sky.

This didn't surprise her, he always liked looking at the stars and chasing them so it appeared. No, what shocked her was the look on his face. He looked like he had given up on something, hopeless almost. She approached him waiting to see if he would turn to look at her, but he didn't.

"Evan?" She stayed a few steps away from him and waited for him to look at her, but he never did.

"Someone should be asleep not playing on their phone."

"Someone should answer their phone and reply to their texts more so he doesn't worry his friends." She scolded. Her voice lowered and softened. "We were worried about you."

"I'm a grown man, I can take care of myself."

"As much as the first part is biologically provable, I don't quite agree with the latter. Who was in the hospital just a few weeks ago again?"

"Who was the reason why I was in the hospital again?" She slightly winced at this statement. Both because of the guilt she still felt over it and at the coldness his words were delivered with. His voice sounded so monotone, emotionless...lifeless even.

"Why have you been avoiding us? We've been looking everywhere for you."

"That's what I called you out here to address today." He shifted his position on the monkey bars so his back was facing her. "Well I meant for it to be tomorrow, but someone stays up too late." He jumped off the monkey bars, but still didn't face her.

"Do you know what I meant by this is where it all ends?" She gulped, fearing that he meant it regarding his life.

"This is the place where our paths crossed and our bonds of friendship formed. We've been through some rough times together and I will never forget the memories we created. However, it appears that this is the place where it will all end as well."

She was shocked. What? Did he seriously mean...

"Right here, and right now." He turned to look at her, the first time in the while that she got a clear view of his face. Just looking at his emotionless eyes hurt her almost as much as the words he was about to say.

"Today" he took out a picture of them when they were kids "today I will singlehandedly sever the bonds that tie us together." He ripped the picture to shreds as Tiffany watched on in confusion and hurt. He stared at the shredded photos remains before looking back up at her.

"We will no longer have any affiliation with each other whatsoever from this day forth Tiffany Blank."

A drop of rain hit his leather jacket. They both stood there in silence as the rain began to fall harshly, washing away their memories and their ties.

I finally finished. -flops dead onto the ground- The last part was so emotionally draining and depressing for me. Although it doesn't seem so from my shitty writing, losing a friend is so goddamn painful especially a close one. It's funny how rain is an element that can be used interchangeably as both a symbol of happiness and rebirth while also being used as a symbol for pain and sorrow. Don't I sound so intelligent? Haha the longest chapter I've ever written congratulations me. Are you guys ready for the last chapter of this story? I know, me neither. Thanks for people who reviewed and such please review again and share this story to others who might enjoy, until next time, later.
