AN: So, I'm soooo sorry about that first chapter. I didn't realize until after I posted it how ungodly short it was! That was a bit ridiculous. I won't be doing that anymore, but thank to everyone who still read it. Thank you to everyone who reviewed & placed me on story/author alert…really means a lot! I hope you enjoy the next chapter! :D
Disclaimer: I do not own any wrestlers, they belong to themselves & the WWE. I just own my crazy muses.
"Hello? Who's there?" Evan called out. The only answer he received was what sounded like more sobbing. Evan walked farther into the locker room and headed to the area the showers were located in. He was beyond shocked at who he found sitting on the bench with his head in his hands sobbing.
"Cody, dude, what's wrong?" Evan asked, concern written all over his face, rushing over to comfort his hurting friend.
When Cody noticed Evan was in the room, he picked his head up and wiped his tears with the back of his hand.
"Nothing…just…nothing," Cody said, his voice cracking.
"Dude, ya sure? You looked pretty upset just a couple minutes ago…" Evan continued.
"Evan, I'm fine alright. Just don't worry about," Cody mumbled, standing up to start getting undressed for a shower.
"Alright, but remember, if you ever need to talk, I'm here," Evan offered.
With that they both stripped down to get in the shower. Evan couldn't help sneaking a peak at Cody's near perfect body….those toned abs, long, sexy legs…Evan marveled at Cody's flawless body. As they both stepped into the shower, Evan couldn't help but notice how sexy the water looked dripping down Cody's body.
"Get a grip on yourself, Evan. How embarrassing would it be if you got a stiffy in the shower with your friend? And he's already in a pretty fucking shitastic mood, I don't think he's in the mood to see a boner," Evan thought to himself, cursing himself for having such thoughts about his clearly upset friend. Pushing the thoughts to the back of his head, Evan remembered what Randy had asked him to do.
"Hey Codes, are you to coming with me and the boys tonight?" Evan asked.
"Do I look like I'm in any fucking condition to go out?" Cody snapped, glaring at Evan.
"Sorry dude, I just thought-" Evan started, taken aback by Cody's blunt rudeness.
"Well, you thought wrong!" Cody interrupted angrily.
"I'm sorry," Evan mumbled, suddenly feeling embarrassed and ashamed that he'd just assumed Cody wanted to go out after having an apparent emotional breakdown. They spent the rest of the shower in an intense awkward silence.
When the two men were done showering, they grabbed their towels and walked to the locker room to get dressed. Evan was dressed before Cody, so before he left his friend, Evan tried one last time to get him to talk.
"Listen Cody," Evan started, breaking the long and awkward silence between them. "You may not want to talk right now but whenever you want to, I'll be right here. Alright?"
There was a long pause. Finally, Cody lifted his head up and looked at Evan with the saddest expression on his face that made Evan's heart want to break.
"You can't help me so don't even bother trying," Cody mumbled, looking down again.
"What do you mean I can't?" Evan questioned, in shock.
"There's nothing you can do, ok? So just go hang out with Randy, John and everyone else and don't worry about me!" Cody practically yelled, face turning red.
"Alright dude…just remember what I said," Evan replied, apparently not fazed that Cody was basically yelling at him With that, he turned and left the locker room.
"I really hope Cody will be alright or at least talk to someone even if it isn't me. I wonder what's wrong with him. Maybe Randy will know…"Evan thought to himself, walking down the halls of the arena looking for his tattooed friend. "Speaking of Randy, I don't remember where he told me to meet him…or even if he DID specify."
After 10 minutes of looking for Randy in vain, a frustrated Evan decided to give him a call.
"Dude, where are ya?" Randy asked Evan upon picking up the phone, without even saying "hello" first.
"Where are YOU?" Evan countered. "I've been looking all over for you. The I thought was yours turned out to be the Bellas' dressing room. You can only imagine what I saw, dude!"
"Well, thank goodness we're going out to drink, you can wipe your mind clean of that," chuckled Randy.
"Oh, bye the way, John and I are outside the arena if you were wondering. We've been waiting for ya. You take way too long. What in the hell were you doing?" Randy questioned.
"Ha, funny you should ask," Evan snorted. "I'll see you in like 5 minutes."
"K, bye."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~And The Rest is History~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Sup guys!" Evan said excitedly, climbing into the back of Randy's black Cadillac. Also in the car was John Cena, Randy's fiancé, and the newest couple backstage, Jake Hager and Mike Mizanin.
"Hey Ev!" everyone replied back when everyone was settled in the car. Evan, much to his dismay, was stuck between Jake and Miz in the backseat.
"I'm glad you sat between them, Ev," John said from the front seat. "They've been glued together by the lips since we got in the damn car!"
Everyone laughed except the couple in question. They just glared at the rest of the group and mumbled an embarrassed "shut up", causing John, Randy and Evan to howl with laughter yet again.
"So, where are we going?" asked Evan to no one in particular.
"Applebee's," answered Jake.
"Applebee's?" Evan replied incredulously. "Randy, I thought we were going somewhere to celebrate?"
"Who says we can't celebrate at Applebee's?" Randy said, jokingly sounding offended.
"Well no one, I just thought we'd be going out to a bar or a club or something," said Evan.
10 minutes later, they pulled in to the Applebee's driveway and parked as close as they could to the front of the establishment (AN: lazy wrestlers LOL)
When they walked in, they were greeted by a hostess and shown to their table.
"Oh yeah, so Evan, you never did tell us why you were so unfashionably late," Randy start curiously after they'd all been settled into the booth.
Evan took a deep breath, contemplating on whether or not to talk about the situation in front of everyone like this.
"Ok, if I tell you guys this, you have to SWEAR you won't repeat this to anyone," Evan said, looking at the group with a serious face.
Ok, I know this is a random place to end a chapter but I had to otherwise it would have been TOO long. Read, review…tell me what you liked, didn't like ect. J
