A/N: Don't worry guys, I am still amped about this story. I am amped about all of my stories. I just have so many I want to write that I am a little slow with updates. Which upsets me a lot. I am going to try to keep up with updates but I have a lot of work to do too. That's why I am up all night on Friday night trying to write as many updates as I can. Like I said I will try to get things posted when I can. I am working on some new stuff and the fourth chapter of "It Only Hurts" currently. I just wanted to get something up for this story! Hope you all enjoy it.

For You I Will

Chapter 2 – I'd Do Anything

John groaned and turned his head forcing his eye lids open. They felt like they weighed ten tons as he opened his eyes. He blinked slowly as the light flooded in; he slowly brought a hand up and rubbed his aching head. He groaned in pain and let the hand that lightly touched his forearm guide his hand back to where it had rested a few seconds before. What the hell was going on?

"John?" he heard Brianna's voice and he turned his head in the direction from which it came.

The petite brunette was sitting next to him in a chair, her denim covered legs were crossed and she wore a genuine, yet weary, smile. "Oh John." He was shocked to see the tears fall from her brown eyes as she looked at him. She brought a hand up to cover her mouth as she sobbed quietly; her shoulder's shaking with every breath she gasped for.

"Brie, why are crying?" he asked. He had never been so confused in his life. Where was he, what was wrong, and why was his friend sobbing her eyes out?

"John, you almost died." She scooted her chair closer to him and gently took his hand in hers. "I am just so happy you are okay. I have been going crazy, if I hadn't been able to save you I don't know what I would have done." The Latina held his hand in hers and gently pressed her lips against it. "How are you, how are you feeling?" she questioned, staring at him with concerned eyes.

"Sore." He answered truthfully. He had been doing his best to ignore the searing pain in his chest. He forced a smile for Brie and gently grasped her hand and squeezed it. "I'm okay Brie, please don't cry anymore. You are amazing, you saved my life." He assured the Latina. He had always believed in her. She was amazing; she was so brave and strong. She was the definition of everything a woman could be and should be.

"I can get the doctor." She said quickly. "He can get you something."

"Doctor?" he questioned. Where were they? There were no doctors in their camp, only Brianna. He looked at her, expressing his confusion. "Where are we Brie?"

The Latina smiled at him. "We are in Germany. Once the doctor clears you for travel we are going home."

"Both of us?" he said sounding surprised.

"Both of us." She smiled. "You received an honorable discharge. You are going to get a medal."
she told him.

He chuckled but then stopped when the pain shot through him again. "I don't need a medal, all I did was my job." He said. He wasn't going to lie, he was happy to be returning to his home country but he didn't regret his decision to serve his country and he would do it all again.

"You are an amazing man John." Brie hit the buzzer on the remote that lay beside his arm. "The doctor will want to know you are awake." She smiled. "When you are stable enough to travel he will release you into my care." She told him, doing her best to sound professional but it was a little hard to buy when anyone got a look at her tear-stain cheeks.

"I couldn't be in better hands" John said truthfully as the doctor walked in. "Doctor?"

John hated doctors; they were always so serious, poking people with needles and doing test and x-rays and baring bad news.

"Hello Mr. Cena." He answered with a thick German Accent. "Miss Garcia could you please step out of the room?" John looked over at the brunette who nodded and squeezed his hand before leaving the room.

Brianna stepped out into the hallway. She tilted her head back against the wall as the tears began to fall all over again. She was so happy John was okay. John was the one thing left in her life that wasn't a complete mess. He was the only person she had a somewhat stable relationship with. He was her best friend and it would have killed her if he hadn't made it, especially if it had been because she was unable to save him.

She let the tears fall as she wrapped her arms around her slender waist. She had spent the last three days at his side, hoping and praying that he would wake up.

Her prayers had been answered. She was blessed; she still had her best friend.

The Latina wiped some of the tears from her eyes and looked up and down the hall way. No one was around.

She felt the vibrating of her cell phone in her pocket. She pulled it out and opened it up as she walked down the hall way. "Hello; mom? What's wrong?"

John was relieved that the doctor cleared him for travel. He wanted to be back in the states in time for Christmas and according to the doctor he had been out for three days. That meant it was December eighteenth or nineteenth.

He was deep in thought when Brie re-entered the room. "Hey John the doctor told me you were cleared for travel and we can leave tomorrow, that's great. We'll be able to make it home in time for Christmas." She smiled as she took her seat next to his bed again.

"With five days to spare." He returned her smile and ran his knuckles down the side of her cheek. "Guess you will be home in time to go to your parents for Christmas."

He was surprised to see her look saddened by his comment. The Latina lowered her head when he mentioned the trip she was supposed to take to see her family.

"What is wrong Brie?" he asked. He hated seeing the brunette look so sad. She was his best friend, she had saved his life; he wanted her to be happy.

"I don't know if I'm going to go home this year." Brie crossed her legs and crossed her arms over her knees.

"Why not, you are supposed to spend Christmas with you family. If I had someone to spend Christmas with I know I would, even if it was a little dysfunctional." He tried to comfort her.

"I just can't go back there; they are expecting me to bring Randy. They will be so upset when they find out I messed up another perfect relationship." Brie laughed bitterly as she waved her foot in the air. "I will be the laughing stock of Christmas. Again. It will be "Brie messed up another relationship". "Oh poor Brie can't do anything right." "Brie scared off another boyfriend" "Maybe someday I will get grandchildren", "If only Brie was as wonderful as our darling Nikki"" Brie rolled her eyes and shook her head. "I will never be good enough for them John"

"They are your family, they love you; they just have a weird way of showing it."

His best friend gave him an exasperated look. "Okay John. You play second to someone all of your life and tell me if you think it feels like love."

He sighed. He did feel bad for his friend and he wished there was something he could say to make her feel better. He couldn't think of a single thing that would make her feel better though. "I'm sorry Brie. You don't deserve that." He smiled weakly. "If there was anything I could do to help I would do it in a heartbeat." He said sincerely. He would do anything for the brunette nurse, and not just because she was his best friend.

"John!" she yipped excitedly after a moment's silence. "You can help me!"

He looked at her, raising an eyebrow in confusion. "And how can I help you?" he asked.

"You could come with me to my parent's house as my boyfriend!" she said excitedly. "Please John; please tell me you will do it! It will give you a place to go, I can look after you, and it will make me look better and I won't be tortured the entire holiday."

John sighed. "But I thought they were expecting Randy, I am obviously not Randy." He said.

"They don't know that"

John laughed again, but quickly regretted it. "Seriously, you want me to pretend to be someone else?" he questioned. "You want me to pretend to be a wealthy banker? I'm sorry Brie but how does a banker get shot in the chest?"

"We can tell them you were in a car accident and you have broken ribs. Please John. You just said you had no one to spend Christmas with, now you would and you would be saving me a lot of humiliation. I would be in your debt."

The soldier took a deep breath. He knew what he had to do and he wasn't sure if we was going to like it but he would do anything for her.

A/N: Okay well that is Chapter 2! I really hope you all liked it! Reviews would be appreciated? What do you guys think will happen? Do you think John will change his mind? Let me know! Besos! Danie.
