Ted woke up in bed next to an unfamiliar body. It wasn't Cody because right now his legs would be wrapped around his legs, it was annoying but he would gladly take it right now. Ted sits up, there is a woman he doesn't know, and quietly he stood up and walked to the restroom. The last thing he remembers is opening a door but why did he end up here? "Ted?" a voice calls and his head snaps back to the bedroom, the woman is awake. He doesn't know what to do or even what to say so he stays quiet. He closes his eyes and flashes of Cody hits him. He is smiling, laughing, why does he feel so alone?
Footsteps break him from his visions "Teddy?" She calls again he takes a deep breath and opens his eyes. "Hi," he says awkwardly the woman laughs "hi silly," she walks up to him and warps her warms around him. Ted doesn't mean to but he winces at her touch "are you okay?" she asks pulling away "I-I'm sorry," he whispers. The woman looks at him "about what?" Confused he closes his eyes again, thinking about Cody. "Where is Cody?" he says there is silence and he opens his eyes looking at the woman.
"Where is he, I need to talk to him," Ted knows he isn't here he's somewhere else but he can't remember. He doesn't remember why Cody isn't here. The woman steps back "I thought you were over him," she whispers "what do you mean?" The woman face looks uncomfortable. As she pushes her hair away from her face he notices the large bump on her stomach. "Are you?" he looks down at her protruding stomach. "Yes Ted," she snaps "with your child." She storms out of the bathroom.
Ted is now beyond confused "wait come back!" he shouts running after the woman. "How could you do this to me?" she sniffs "I thought Cody was out of our lives," Ted's stomach drops "I-I don't want that though," she glares at him "you left him for me, I am your wife not him," A memory hits Ted hard he remembers leaving Cody, he remembers Cody catching him a Maryce fooling around. At least he thinks that is what had happened; it feels like a dream within a dream. "Maryce?" he whispers "what," she snaps "how long have we been together?" She rolls her eyes "2 years," he shakes his head "and where is Cody?" Maryce sits up annoyed "He is dead, remember?"
The news hit's Ted so hard he almost falls of the bed, "what do you mean he is dead?" Maryce throws he hands up "HE KILLED HIMSELF," the words 'he killed himself' echo in this head. "No, that can't be right, I loved him." She laughs "well you had a funny way of showing it," she pats her stomach "you wanted to be with me, remember?" Ted shakes his head "No, I wanted to be with Cody." His wife has had enough "STOP THIS, he is gone you're with me now and we have a child on the way."
"I don't want this life!" he screams "I want to be with Cody!" he gets up and walks out of the bedroom. He doesn't know where he is going but it looks like his feet do. He ends up outside and inside his car, he turns on the engine and for some reason he knows where he is going. The drive is a little out of the way but he doesn't care, the night is growing thinner and daylight is soon going to break.
He ends up at the gates of a cemetery, he knows who is here, he wishes he didn't. His feet continue to guide him until he reaches a headstone, it ready Cody Runnels beloved son and wrestler. Tears prick at Ted's eyes this isn't want he wanted. He didn't want Maryce, he wanted Cody. He doesn't want a child with that woman; he falls to his knees in front of the headstone. "I am so sorry Codes," he whispers "I am so sorry I left you for her, I don't even remember why I did it."
He places a hand on the cold stone "I wanted my forever with you and I can't believe you're gone." The tears are falling more freely now "I love you," he whimpers. He leans against the headstone and thinks about his best friend, his lover. He feels something as he leans against the stone; his fingers graze something cold and hard. It is all too familiar, "Where did this gun come from?"
The urge to pick up the gun was strong; he looks at it and decides to pick it up. More memories begin to flash "I don't love you," he hears his own voice say "I'm with Maryce now," Ted tires so hard to stop the voices in his head. "Teddy, I thought you loved me," he hears Cody's weak voice; Ted's eyes snap open his eyes blurred from all the tears. His hand moves to his temple and he presses the gun hard, "no," he whispers "I don't want to do this." He feels his finger on the trigger "you killed him," a new voice appears in his head. "You pushed him out that window."
"NO!" Ted feels his finger slip and he pulls the trigger.
Ted screams he is no longer in the cemetery but in a cold room. The tears are still fresh on his face; everything he felt was all too real. He realizes he is alone in this room "CODY!" he screams out "EVAN!" but there is only silence. "Where are you, baby," he whispers before he presses his legs to his chest. "Oh Ted, you and Cody are so alike." Ted looks up into the empty room. "You can't see me," the voice sounds like it is coming from all of the corners of the room.
Ted stands up looking around the room "Who are you?" Ted notices a door and rushes up to it. A hand grabs his shoulder from behind and he feels something brush up against his ear "he's coming." Ted is let free and he grabs ahold of the doorknob "WHO IS?" he cries out.
