Alyssa sat at her desk finishing up some of her last minute homework. She wanted this weekend to go off without a hitch. Her bag was already packed and she was anxiously awaiting six o'clock for a car to pick her up and chauffeur her to the arena. This get away from reality was much needed. She needed a weekend to get away and be a kid.

There was a knock at the door. She smiled maybe John had come himself to pick her up. As she opened the door she found a surprise…"Dad?" There James Sullivan stood in a tailored suit and dark sunglasses. He stepped into the room without so much as acknowledging her presence. Alyssa felt every nerve in her body fall like lead in a pit in the middle of her stomach. She wanted to throw up. So many thoughts flooded through her mind. Her room was a mess, her work wasn't finished, had he figured out where she was going?

"Alyssa." Alyssa shook out of her daze and looked up at her father.

"Sir?" His eyes narrowed.

"I was calling you, did you not hear me?" Alyssa felt the bile creeping up into her throat. It was happening again…her mind was clamping shut and she couldn't articulate. James shook his head. "Stupid insolent child, can you not even speak to me?" Alyssa opened her mouth, but no words came out. She dropped her head knowing the disappointment that was rolling off of her father. How had she ever dealt with him? Her stomach was hurting and her hands started to shake, she gulped. James stepped back and looked around the room. He rolled his eyes. "I pay forty thousand dollars a year for you to live like this?"

"I'm sorry." James scoffed.

"Why are you always sorry?" He angrily looked at her. "Stop being sorry and just do better." James brushed past her and walked towards her desk. "How are your classes coming? Still ranked number one I hope." Alyssa shifted.

"Y-Yes sir." James rolled his eyes, she was the epitome of weak. He turned his head and glanced at her she was staring at the floor and shaking slightly. He turned around.

"Do I scare you?" Alyssa looked up quickly, what kind of question was that? "Well?" Alyssa started to think. If she said yes he'd be angry and possibly freak out. If she said no he might try to make her fear him. What about silence…?"Alyssa!" She jumped violently and took a step back.

"I uh um ye-yes sir." James felt disgust, he'd raised a feeble coward. He'd spent the last seventeen years trying to make her a lioness worthy of the concrete jungle, too bad she came out a scared pussy-cat. He took a step towards her, but it was just too much for Alyssa. The bile she'd been holding in made its way out of her body and right onto his shoes. James felt the rage grip his body and his face contorted violently. Alyssa couldn't believe what had happened. She stepped back quickly remembering what happened the last time she'd seen her father look at her like that. Barely able to remain upright she scrambled towards the bathroom, wet a paper towel, and tried to clean his shoe. Her hands started shaking so violently that it only ended up making things worse.

"Stop, you're useless. Just leave it there." James moved his foot out of her grasp. "To think I came here to surprise you and spend time with you, maybe connect with you for once but no, you take it as an opportunity to ruin three hundred dollar shoes." He grunted. "I cannot believe I helped make you! You're so weak and useless!"

"I'm…" His face contorted even further.

"What? You're what Alyssa? Sorry? Yes that's exactly what you are." James shook his head and brushed past her heading towards the door. "Don't' call me, I'll call you...eventually." With that James Sullivan left and all that remained in his wake was his seventeen year old daughter shaking violently as she slunk to the ground.

Lyss looked around in awe as she walked down the hallways, there were so many people who helped this production go on. She shook her head, the place was like a maze. Her stomach grumbled in anxiety as she realized it was not going to be easy to find John. Every fiber in her being hoped she didn't have a repeat of earlier. She took a deep breath. I can do this, she said to herself. She knew by her all access pass that she could go anywhere, but she really didn't know what to say or where to go. All her life she'd had handlers who dealt with situations that would illicit anxiety, too bad they didn't shield her from her father's notorious rampages or unexpected visits. Sighing she shifted slightly she took a deep breath and approached the first person who crossed her path.

"Um, excuse me but can you tell me where John is?" The man ignored her and continued walking. Well that was rude, she thought to herself. She grunted angrily and tried again. This time she approached a bald man with baby oil dripping off of him. Taking a deep breath she tapped the man's shoulder. Apparently he was on the phone, but Alyssa couldn't see it she just thought he was being rude to her like the other guy. She tapped him again. Alyssa jumped as the bald man stopped and turned to face her. He really hated it when fans came back here and always got lost.

"What!" he screamed loudly causing most people in the area to look there way. Alyssa jumped back, yelling always frazzled her. She shook her head quickly and stepped back.

"I'm uh sorry," she stammered. Alyssa quickly tried to avoid any further embarrassment and began walking down the hallway. She didn't know where she was going, but it was better than suffering any further embarrassment. The bald headed man felt badly and hung up his phone. Quickly he turned around and followed Alyssa down the hallway.

"Hey." Alyssa ignored the man's call, she didn't want to give him any more attempts to embarrass her. "Hey!" He grabbed her arm to stop her. Alyssa turned around.

"What!" she spat. He opened his mouth but before he could start he cut him off. "You know what save it! I'm so sick of prima donnas who think it's alright to treat everyone around them like crap. So save your little apology or whatever it is you want to say and leave me alone." She turned around and tried to stalk off, but the bald man grabbed her shoulders and turned her in the opposite direction.

"Down the hall, two doors on your left." Alyssa softened her scowl, but said nothing. She sighed continued on her way. A fast as she could without running she walked up to the door and knocked. A deep breath escaped her mouth as she saw the smiling purple shirted man in front of her.

"Hey, I'm glad you made it." She nodded and John pulled her in for a hug which still made her uncomfortable but she didn't say anything. He ushered her into the room and took her bag out of her hands. "Lyss, are you ok?" Alyssa looked at him and nodded as she sat down.

"Yeah I'm fine." John frowned.

"Thank you for lying to me." Alyssa rolled her eyes, ah there was that protective John she knew. He sat down next to her. Alyssa glared at her shoes in an attempt to avoid his eyes. She could feel his eyes on her face. She sighed. "Lyss…" Alyssa sighed.

"I'm fine John," she said in a whiny tone. John raised her eyebrow.

"Alright, I won't say anything yet but we need to get you fed. You look pale, are you feeling alright?" She sighed.

"I'm not hungry." John rolled his eyes and threw her small frame over his shoulder.

"Whether you want to or not you're going to eat. No way you're gonna pass out on me. Not unh." Alyssa grunted, this was going to be a long night.

Alyssa yawned as she left the arena behind John. It had been a really long day. She'd watched John wrestle the bald man who apparently was Randy Orton and got to reunite with her two humongous friends from the limo when her dad made her come home. She opened the door to the passenger side when John spoke. "Lyss, uh would you mind sitting in the back, someone else is riding with us." Alyssa shrugged, she was used to riding in the back…out of site out of mind.

She hopped back in the back seat, it was actually a pretty good deal to be in the back at least that way she could stretch out for the ride to the hotel. It had been a good day, she'd been successful in not thinking about her parents at all. Man did that make her happy, too bad she'd be back on the grind tomorrow night. She just wished that she could have a normal life free of parents and insane expectations.

"Lyss!" Alyssa jumped at John's words breaking into her thoughts. She jumped slightly then took a deep breath trying to regain her composure while she scowled at him. John shook his head, he'd forgotten she was easily spooked. "Hey, I'm sorry." She shook her head.

"No, it's fine. Uh what's up?" John smiled at her, his love for her had grown in the last two months.

"Uh, I just wanted to make sure you were ok back there. I don't want you to think he's more important than you, it's just his legs are longer."

"No it's perfectly fine, I understand."…she did now at least. John nodded.

"Did you have fun?" She nodded.

"Yeah who knew men running around in underwear and T shirts could be entertaining." John rolled his eyes. "It was cool, I didn't like Nexus though, they're really quite annoying."

"Yeah they are." John smiled. The door opened and Randy hopped into the passenger seat. Alyssa immediately sat back down and scowled. She really wasn't a fan of his. What kind of jerk got a kick out of embarrassing someone?

"Sup man? Kid?" Alyssa shook her head and said nothing. John said nothing, somehow he knew this night would be an interesting one.

Alyssa grunted as John and Randy played cards behind her just behind the wall that separated the bedroom from the kitchen. She was trying as hard as she possibly could to ignore them but it wasn't working. She decided to put her iPod into her ears to drown out the sound of the two ogres. Alyssa took a deep breath and leaned back in the seat. Her mind was spinning. The last two nights she had been having stress nightmares over school. Her dad would kill her if she lost her valedictorian status and as of right now Samuel Qin was gaining on her. He was a transfer student and was neck and neck with her. She would forever be tainted if she came out of high school as second best. She shook her head, she was making herself sick with worry. Sighing she decided to see what the two men were doing that required such noise.

It turned out that John and Randy along with two others had started to play a vicious game of spades. She sighed, a part of her had always wanted to have friends to play games with. You'd be surprised just how depressing state of the art games could be when you have no one to play them with. Suddenly, she felt herself being overcome with sadness. Her parents had robbed her of any real companionship. Who lived like this? Alyssa decided to go on the balcony at least there she could cry in peace. The balcony was calm and that the air was crisp. Alyssa felt all of her troubles just melt away. This is how life should be.

John glanced at the door leading toward the balcony with anticipation. He was worried about Alyssa. She had been distant all night and no matter what he did her paleness just wouldn't go away.

"Dude, just go and talk to her." John looked at Randy confused. "You've been staring at that window for twenty minutes and screwing up my game. So go talk to her then come back with your head on straight." John rolled his eyes but went off to see Alyssa anyway. He walked quietly behind her, she seemed so peaceful laying on the beach chair staring up at the stars.

"I was wondering what was taking you so long." John chuckled as Alyssa sat up to look at him. "Baldy send you out here?" John nodded. "Figures."

"So uh, it's a beautiful night."

"Yeah it is." There was a silence between them and a comfort engulfed them. John couldn't help but to smile. It was so peaceful.

"Lyss, what's wrong?" Alyssa turned to look at John with the most emotion he'd ever seen in her eyes then in an instant it was gone. She sighed.

"Nothing, I'm fine." John scoffed.

"You're lying again." Alyssa rolled her eyes.

"So what if I am? I don't see why it should matter to you." Alyssa shook her head and went back to staring up at the stars. John stood there watching her, something was obviously wrong he just didn't know how to help her. He took a deep breath, women were so complicated.

"Lyss…" Alyssa sighed and turned around.

"What?" She was getting rather tired of his nagging.

"Um, do you want to play spades with us?" She couldn't help but smile. He was such a good guy.

"I don't know how this helps, but ok." John smiled.

"At some point though, you're gonna have to let me know what's going on. I'd like to help if I could." She felt her insides glow, this was a weird feeling.

An hour later Alyssa was laughing and enjoying being one of the guys. She had watched John and Randy start to dominate Jericho and Dibiase. It was odd, but for the first time in her life she felt…included. And boy did it make her happy. Too bad it only lasted for a short time before everyone decided to hit the sack. John walked them all to the door except Randy who stayed and stared at Alyssa. She didn't bother to look at him, she walked over towards the bed.

"Kid, I'm sorry about earlier. I was on the phone." Alyssa nodded but didn't say anything. "You play spades really well for a beginner." Still she said nothing. Randy sighed and stood up. "Well good night." Alyssa said nothing only nodded. John walked back into the room and glanced at her.

"You ok?"

"Peachy." John smiled at least her whit was intact. He sat next to her on the bed.

"So are you going to tell me what's got you so frazzled or are you going to make me tickle it out of you?" Alyssa raised her eyebrows.

"You wouldn't…" John grinned wickedly.

"Oh yes, I would." Alyssa sighed, she hated being tickled.

"Fine," she said forcefully and grunted. "My dad visited me today." John's eyes widened. Alyssa put her hand up and shook her head. "It's fine, all he did was be a jerk. I um threw up on his shoes." John chuckled and Alyssa couldn't help but to smile too.

"So um, are you ok?" She nodded.

"Yeah, just freaked out is all." He nodded, that was to be expected. He wrapped his massive arm around her shoulders and pulled her close to his chest.

"You can handle it, you're such a strong person. You've got this." Alyssa smiled, John had such a way with words.

"Thanks."

"So uh what's up with you and Randy?" She rolled her eyes in disgust.

"I was looking for you earlier and he took it as an opportunity to embarrass me." John nodded.

"But he did help you find me."

"Yeah after he felt bad."

"So? He still apologized."

"Yeah like a minute ago." John rubbed his hand over his face.

"Lyss, you've got to let this go."

"No, I don't have to let this go. I'm so sick of people putting other people down because they can."

"You're lumping Randy in with your parents and that's not fair. Don't make him pay for their mistakes. Don't become that bitter person. You're better than that." Alyssa rolled her eyes.

"Whatever."

"Lyss." She shook her head.

"No, I'm going to bed."

"Lyss…" Alyssa shook her head and lay back ignoring him. She promptly plugged her iPod into her ears and continued to ignore him. John tried to talk to her for a while, but finally gave up. Alyssa smiled with pleasure when she felt his weight leave the bed. Then her ear buds were violently wrenched out of her ears.

"What?" The words came out harsh and deliberate. Her eyes remained closed as she decided not to give him any reason to bother her further.

"I love you." Alyssa opened her eyes and looked at John, no words had ever crushed into her like those three words had just done. "Good night." John leaned forward and kissed her forehead. Alyssa lay there stunned as she watched John headed to his own bed and drift off to sleep. All she could do was lay her with her mouth hanging open…love?
