"Finally, home at last!" I hugged John as we entered the arena. We had such an amazing time in Australia. We'd partied, got tans, shopped till we dropped, basically everything you could do there we did it. I even wanted to get a tattoo but John stopped me. That guy was always against tattoos. I was so glad to be back in America though and to see my Cody. I had missed him so much that I couldn't even begin to explain it. John chuckled and looked at me.

"Okay, you go find Cody and I'll go find Randy and get a start on tonight. I'll see you later my lovely," John gave me a kiss on the cheek and headed off to find Randal. I'd pretty much missed everyone. Ted, Randy, Maryse but of course I had missed Cody the most. I walked down the corridor with a spring in my step. I was so excited to tell Cody about everything. I saw his locker room and walked in. To my surprise Ted was sat there with Cody nowhere to be seen. Ted looked quite angry too but once he looked up and saw me his face turned soft.

"You're back! Finally, ive missed you!" He engulfed me in a massive hug which I gladly returned. I loved my Teddles. He was a great friend.

"I miss you too. What's up Teddy? You looked to be in a mood when I walked in?" I asked him sitting down on the bench and pulling him down next to me.

"It doesn't really matter, well it does but you need to talk to Cody about it if im honest. Its not my place to tell you. I mean he wouldn't have told me if I hadn't have found the contracts and stuff in his bag but yeah. You need to ask him.." Ted rambled on. What in the world was he talking about? Contracts? I didn't understand at all. He was right I was going to have to go find my husband and have it out with him. If it upset Ted then it couldn't be good. Ted and Cody were best friends and Ted was rarely ever in a mood.

"I was looking for him actually. He does know im coming back today right?"

"Of course, he's just, well hes not really been in the best of moods lately and now I can understand why," Ted sighed and put his head in his hands. He was really upset. I didn't like the looks of this at all. I rubbed his back.

"Teddy, why cant you tell me?" I asked softly. I didn't want to upset Ted anymore than he already was.

"Its best if you hear it from Cody.."

After sitting with Ted for an hour trying to cheer him up I went on the hunt for Cody. I needed to find out why Ted, the guy who was always happy, was upset. It just wasn't ever like Ted to be that vulnerable. I felt really sorry for him. I turned the corner and saw Cody leant against the wall with a bottle of water in his hand talking to Evan Bourne. I walked up to the two and smiled. Cody gave me a slight smile but that was it. No hug or anything. Nice. Evan pulled me in for a hug.

"Its great to see you! A lot of us missed you. Mainly Cody over here so for that fact alone im going to leave you two to catch up," Evan said his goodbyes to the two of us leaving Cody and I stood there awkwardly. I guess it was up to me to talk first.

"Well, isn't this fun," I commented sarcastily, rolling my eyes. Not the ideal way of seeing Cody again for the first time in two weeks. Something was most defiantly up with everyone.

"Im sorry babe," Cody placed his bottle of water on the ground and wrapped his arms around me, finally. "I've just got a lot of things on my mind. Its amazing to have you back though.. That kind of makes things better."

"What is wrong with everyone? Why is Ted so upset? Can you tell me so I can stop worrying about everyone? Ive only just got back and things seem to be falling apart again.." I sighed. It was true. Things could never be normal around here. Cody pulled away and looked me straight in the eyes.

"If I tell you, you've got to promise me that you wont get mad. I did it for us.." Cody sounded almost desperate so I nodded. "Stace, im being drafted to Smackdown.."

I looked at Cody for a second. I didn't quite understand what he'd said at first. He's being drafted to Smackdown? Now I understand why Ted was upset. Cody would be leaving everyone..

"What? Why though? You're doing brilliant on Raw! You cant leave Cody.." I was pretty upset about it. I didn't want him to leave everyone.

"It's gonna give me more of a chance for a push. I need to do this for my career Stacey. Its for us, our future. At one point in my life im gonna be a main eventer I can just feel it but I need to make a name for myself on Smackdown and I need to do this with you by my side. Stacey, you're going to come with me, right?" Cody cocked his head at me. I honestly didn't know. All my friends were here on RAW. I couldn't just leave Randy, Ted and especially John like that. I loved Cody I really did but did I really want to sacrifice my friendship just to be happy with Cody?

"I dunno. I need time to think about. You gotta understand Cody, everyone I know and love is on this brand and I cant just leave them all. Just, please give me some time to think about it," I pleaded with him.

"I understand. I'll be here when you've decided," he smiled at me weakly and walked off down the corridor. So now, basically I had to make a choice between my friends and Cody Rhodes.

I didn't really know how long id been sat outside until someone sat down next to me in an orange shirt and I instantly knew who it was. John Cena, my best friend. I turned to look at him. He placed his arm around my shoulder and started to talk.

"I know. Cody told us all then said you'd gone off and I know you always like to be on your own when things like this happen but I thought maybe I could offer you some help?" John smiled that smile of his at me.

"What kind of advice?"

"You love Cody, right? Then you should go with him, Stace. As much as it pains for me to say this, it could really help your relationship been away from everyone else. You'd be starting new with new people. I know id miss you like crazy and so would Randy and Ted but we'd all understand and its not like we wouldn't see you at all. Theres still PPV's and when we have days off when can all meet up. Just don't be ruining your relationship with Cody just because you're gonna miss us lot. We're big boys we can cope without you," John chuckled.

"The question is.. Can I cope without you?" I looked at John who sighed. I mean, no matter how much crap we'd gone through he was still my best friend and that period of time when we didn't really talk killed me because no matter how far apart we had ever been we would still talk but by now id got used to seeing him in my life everyday. I dunno if I would be able to go back to how things used to be with the distance. It would be too hard now.

"You can Stace. You'll have Cody. I know for a fact he'll look after you.."

"Im sorry John. I know what im going to do.. I need to find Cody," I stood up and walked back into he building with John following me. I know both of them would probably hate me for this decision but I had to be where id feel happy the most. I found Cody sat talking with Ted and Randy. As soon as they saw me they all looked up. John stood next to me.

"I know what im going to do Cody.." I blinked tears away. This was going to be so hard. Either way I was going to be saying goodbye to someone.

"What is it?" Cody asked. He looked almost as scared as I felt.

"Im sorry, im really sorry but im… im staying here with John, Randy and Ted. I- I cant leave them.. I'm so sorry," I was fully crying my eyes out now. The look on Cody's face was enough to make anyone cry. What exactly had I just done?
