Previously...
-"John kicked you out because you slept with the man that hurt and abused his ex boyfriend and first gay lover." Mike finally said, staring at the roof as Punk was. "He doesn't know yet." Punk said
-"I'm sorry John, you're a good friend. Thanks Punk." Adam said as he walked beside Jay and entered the car. "What the hell does he have on him?" Randy asked, still glaring at Jay
-"You slept with Jay?" John whispered (To Punk)
-"Punk." John walked from the stairs. Punk immediately turned to John. "Give me my key."
...The Next Day
9:21pm
"I think I know what may cheer you up." Randy said as he brought John some tea. "I don't want anything. I don't want to be cheered up. I just wanna curl up in my bed and cry." John said as he covered his head with his blanket. Randy sighed and put the tea on John's nightstand. He climbed onto the bed to lay beside John with his head propped up with his hand. "Johnny, look. I know you're mad at what Punk did, but..." Randy sighed; he's never been the one to try to comfort people.
"Ran, I appreciate you trying, I really do. But, I just need some time alone." John said under the blanket. "I'm not leaving you alone, John. Whether you like it or not. Besides, I was there for you when you were heartbroken over Adam. I was there for you when Mike dumped you. You sent me to the hospital when you found out Mike left you for me." Randy smiled when john started laughing. John pulled the blanket off his head. "Thanks, for reminding me about all that." He said before he tried to cover his head up again, but Randy grabbed his arm and stopped him. "John, please talk to me. Vent, it'll help." Randy said, cupping John's face and wiping away the dry tears from his eyes.
"You can't just give up. You just gotta keep fighting, give it your all." Mike said. Punk just rolled his eyes and pulled his covers back over his head. "Oh, come on! This is not the CM Punk we all know and love to hate! We want the attitudinal, the feisty, the mouthy, the sharp as a tack, straight edged savior, and millions proclaimed Best in the World!" Mike said pounding on Punk's bed, doing his best to sound like he did in his promos. "Shut up, Mike!" Punk said under the covers. "Well, I tried. But I got you something I think will cheer you up." Mike said smiling. Punk slowly pulled the covers off, very much interested in what Mike would say. "What?" Punk asked, looking at Mike.
Mike felt bad for Punk when he looked into his hurt, bloodshot eyes. "It's not here yet. But it will be." Mike said. Punk pulled the covers back over his head. "So, while we wait." Mike reached on the nightstand. "Want a beer?" Mike asked holding up a Heineken bottle and smirking. Mike's smile grew when he heard Punk laughing under the covers. Mike got a text and went to open the door. "I don't want to see anyone!" Punk yelled and the person behind the door could hear. Mike opened the door.
"Not even your best friend?" Punk very slowly pulled the covers down, got out of the bed, not looking at who was at the door. He slowly looked up and jumped to hug Jeff Hardy. "What the hell? I missed you, man!" Punk was surprised and so happy to see Jeff. "I missed you too PB!" Jeff laughed as he hugged Punk back. "Mike, how the hell did you even get contact with him?" Punk asked as he turned to Mike on the bed. "What? He's my friend too." Mike said laughing as he hugged Jeff as well. "It's good to see you guys!" Jeff said as he closed the door. "I know, I can't believe TNA's biggest star is in my hotel room! OMG!" Punk laughed out. Jeff laughed as he sat beside Mike and Punk on the bed.
"Oh, you flatter me." Jeff said smiling. He sat on his leg and turned to Punk. "So I heard my PB was hurting." Jeff said as he laid his hand on Punk's thigh. "I'm fine and don't call me that." Punk said, fighting to keep his smile. "Ok, then let's go out." Jeff said. "I don't think that's a good idea." Punk said, climbing back into his bed. "Nope. I don't care if I have to pick you up, give you a bath, tie you to the hood of m-"Jeff was interrupted by Punk. "FINE! Damn!" Punk got off of the bed and went to the bathroom to take a shower. "You're really good with him." Mike said smiling. Jeff and Mike caught up on how Jeff was doing on TNA while Punk showered. He stepped out in a towel, went to his suitcase and pulled out an outfit to wear. "No black, Phil!" Jeff said as Punk was going back to the bathroom to change. "Fine." Punk said pouting and pulling out a brighter outfit. He felt tears building when he saw one of John's Never Give Up T-Shirts in his suitcase, but he held himself together. He didn't even look at his outfit, as long as it was colourful. Punk wore blue jeans with a camo cap and a red t-shirt with the Marvel logo on it.
"Uh, you look." Jeff didn't know how to finish his sentence. "Better." Mike said getting up and taking the cap off to show Punk's messy hair. "You need some hair gel." Jeff said as he picked up Punk's carry on. "I don't want gel." Punk whined. "Don't worry, I always carry some." Mike said smiling as he reached into his back pocket to pull out a small tube of gel. Jeff and Punk just glared at Mike as he handed the gel to Punk. "Why does that not surprise me?" Jeff asked smiling. "What? You think this is natural?" Mike smirked. Punk put on the gel and let Mike and Jeff look him over. "Good enough." Mike said rolling his eyes. Jeff just sighed, "Let's go."
Punk grabbed his keys and followed them, locking the door. "Where are we going again?" Punk asked. "A club, maybe you can meet some guys, or girls." Jeff said smiling. Punk wanted to turn around and head back to his room but he knew that wouldn't stop Jeff. They got in the elevator and headed to Club Cameo.
12:42am
"JOHN, COME DOWNSTAIRS, THERE'S SOMEONE I WANT YOU TO SEE!" Randy shouted from the couch. "I DONT WANT TO!" John shouted. "YOU BETTER OR ELSE HE'LL FIRE YOU!" Randy shouted. They heard movement coming from upstairs as John made his way down. "Hey." John said. "Hey, John, how's my top superstar feeling?" Maddox asked, taking notice of John's condition. "I'm fine, Brad. Thanks for checking up on me." John said and turned around to head back upstairs.
Maddox ran in front of John and stopped him. "John, you need to get out! Come on, Randy and I wanna take you clubbing!" Maddox said smiling and bobbing his head and shaking his hips. "Stop dancing." John said, smiling a little at Brad's attempt to cheer him up. "I can't go out tonight, but you two can go. And don't come back." John said as he tried to go around Maddox. "John, please." Maddox pouted, "Or I'll fire you." Maddox said. John shook his head. "You can't fire me." Maddox rubbed his chin. "Then I'll cancel your Make a wish meetings, Be a Star ap-"Maddox was interrupted. John really loved helping out his favorite charities. "Fine, I'll get changed." Maddox moved and let John walk past him.
Ding Dong! Ding Dong! Ding Dong! Ding Dong!
"COMING!" Randy shouted, annoyed. "WHAT?" Randy asked when he opened the door. "How about hi?" Randy was so stunned he couldn't even reply, so was John and Maddox from hearing the familiar voice. "NO FUCKING WAY." John said, turning around slowly. Maddox and John ran to the door seeing Randy and Nick Milek hugging and laughing. "Mile!" Maddox and John ran and gave him a group hug. "What the hell? I thought you were filming in LA!" john said, standing back to look at Milek. "Well, Randy called me and told me you were messed up, moping and just 2 painkillers shy from being in the ER." Milek said going in and closing the door. "I think Randy was over-exaggerating!" John said laughing. "Well, we were about to go out." Maddox said, turning to John. "Well you can't party without the PRESIDENT OF WWE!" Milek said laughing and leading John upstairs back to his room to get ready.
"You didn't drink any tea? You need tea!" Milek said noticing the cup Randy had placed on the nightstand earlier tonight. "I'm guessing you told Randy to give me tea?" John asked as he looked through his closet. "Yep, and I'll get you tea and pick out your clothes. Go shower." Milek said as he grabbed the cup. "Thanks, man. You take good care of your Johnny." John said smiling as he went into the bathroom.
Milek ran down and chatted with Maddox and Randy as he rinsed the cup and started boiling the water for the tea. John had showered and tried to keep his mind open to what might happen. He stepped out of the shower to see his tea and his clothes laid out. "Oh, Mile." John whispered as he looked at Milek's choice of clothes. He saw his phone light up and vibrate. He walked over to see a Skype request from Jay. John was worried and he knew that he would regret it but he answered. He saw Jay smirking in a dark room. In the background, you could see the place was made from gray bricks and had a lot of sex toys hanging on the wall. There was only one source of light and it seemed like a light bulb that John guessed was in the middle of the room. Hw didn't like what he saw in the room, he got a bad feeling from it. "Hey Johnny!" Jay smiled wide. "What the hell do you want?" John asked, trying not to crush his phone in-hand.
"I just wanted to let you know, Addy's mine and he will stay with me. You got that?"Jay said. John gritted his teeth and he didn't answer Jay. "But, you wanna see how good Addy is to me?" Jay asked, looking down while taking a seat. John didn't know what to expect at all. He felt his heart melt when Jay moved the phone to show Adam on the floor. Adam was naked on all fours with a leather collar with a chain attacked to the side. Jay yanked on the chain. "Why don't you show Johnny how you LOOOOOVE to please your master." Adam crawled over to Jay and unzipped his jeans. John turned the phone, seeing Milek, Randy and Maddox appear at the door. "John, you ok?" Randy asked, seeing John crying. "Um, yea." John said, sitting on his bed. Milek ran and grabbed his phone, disturbed by what he saw. "Adam, hi!" Milek said smiling.
Adam looked up, feeling so embarrassed at how John and now Milek seeing are seeing him so abused. "Hi, Adam, it's good to see you again, can I talk to Jay?" Mike asked smiling, not even hazed by Adam's condition. Jay turned the phone around. "I didn't say stop." Jay said, looking back at Adam, then back at Milek. "Milek, wow, it's good to see you, bro." Jay said. Milek was a little surprised that Jay wasn't embarrassed that his boss saw him doing this. "That's, Sir to you! And by the way, as long as I'm back, I can promise you that you're in deep shit. See ya real soon, Mr. Reso" Milek said as he tapped the hand-up button, smirking at the worried look on Jay's face. "Johnny, I am so sorry you had to see that." Milek said handing the phone to Maddox, who put it on the night stand. "Listen, Johnny, it's ok if you don't wanna go out. We can just hang out here and watch a movie or something." Maddox said with a smile. John nodded and stood up, wiping his eyes. "I need to change, if you all excuse me." John said and everyone left his bedroom. They all walked downstairs without a word. "Man, Jay's such a dick." Milek said as he grabbed his cup of tea from the counter as Brad started to search for the popcorn and candy. "Tell me about it." Randy says bitterly as he grabs a beer from the fridge.
"Anyway, what's Mike doing?" Milek asked as he sipped his tea. "He was supposed to take Punk to the same club we were taking John to and..." Randy and Milek sat on the couch. "That's a stupid plan. They would just leave. Just sit back and watch how it's done!" Milek said smiling. Randy shook his head, knowing that Milek wasn't up to anything good.
Knock Knock
Randy growled. "Randy, did you invite the entire WWE Roster?" Maddox asked as he pulled the popcorn out of the microwave. Randy chuckled as he walked over to the door. "Oh, hey Randy." Ryder said smiling. "Ryder, why are you here?" Maddox asked placing the bowl of popcorn on the table. "I heard about John and Punk so I came to make sure he was all right." Ryder said as he walked in. "Great! We're just about to watch a movie, think you can stay?" Milek asked, already knowing the answer to that. "Sure." Ryder answered and moved to sit beside Milek. While Randy was starting the movie, John emerged and joined Milek and Ryder on the couch. "Hey, Zack. What're you doing here?" John asked, shaking Ryder's hand. "Just came to check on you." Ryder answered, feeling a bit nervous. Milek got up and walked over to join Brad on the loveseat while Randy sat on the recliner. "I'll get you a blanket." Milek said as he ran upstairs and grabbed a clean blanket from John's closet. He rushed back down and covered John. "Ryder, you cold?" Milek asked and Ryder nodded. "Well I'm sure John wouldn't mind sharing." Milek said as he covered both of them.
Ryder was bold enough to lean on John and John accepted Ryder in his arms. Randy and Maddox just stared at Milek as he sat back on the loveseat. "What?" Milek asked, knowing the answer to that. Randy just shook his head as he glanced from Ryder and John at the couch back to Milek, who just shrugged. Milek opened his arms and Maddox cuddled up to him. Seeing that, Randy remembered his cutie pie and pulled out his phone and texted Mike.
Mikey: Cant make it to Cameo, Jay skyped John and it didnt end well. Everyones all right. Just gonna stay and watch a movie with John, Ryder & Maddox. C U Soon, Lov U
Randy put away his phone and smiled as he glanced over to Ryder and John snuggling on the couch. John had always seemed to be calm and somewhat happy when Ryder was around ever since that party thrown by Robbie E & T. Randy was just happy that John seemed to be at ease for the moment.
The movie ended around one in the morning. Randy barely said a word as he left; he was exhausted. Ryder had fallen asleep hugging John, not even facing the TV. Milek and Brad left before the movie was over; Brad didn't like horror movies very much. "Zack?" John whispered, trying not to scare Ryder awake; who just grumbled, yet the smile on his face was still there. "Zack, wake up." John said in a louder voice. Ryder woke up and glanced around, looking to see where he was. He blushed when he saw that he was still holding on to John. "Oh, sorry man." Ryder let John go. "It's ok, man. But you missed the entire movie." John said as Ryder got up and stretched. "There's a surprise ending." John said smiling as he got up as well.
"The older kid was the one the aliens made contact with first?" Ryder said smiling. "You saw the movie?" John asked. "Yea, I watched it last week at the movies." Ryder said as he stood awkwardly, not knowing whether to leave or have John ask him to stay. "Anyway, I better go John, I'm sure you're tired." Ryder said as he walked to the door. "Wait." John walked towards Ryder at the door. "I don't really think I'm in any mood or state to sleep. You wanna have some tea and talk?" John asked. "Um, yea." Ryder said, trying not to seem as eager as he really was.
John went over to the kettle and refilled the water. Ryder tried not to stare at John's amazing ass. "What do you wanna talk about?" Ryder asked, turning away when John turned and came over to the couch. "Well, anything. What's up with you? We haven't really talked in a long time." John said sitting beside Ryder. "Well, if you're ok with it, you can talk to me about what's happening with Adam and Jay. I mean, I know you guys dated a long time ago and from what I heard, you guys were in love." Ryder said, then immediately regretting opening his mouth because he knew he made John feel bad. "Well, it's not that it's just Adam, it's just what Jay is doing in general. I wouldn't want it happening to anyone." John said, then glancing over to the kettle to check on the tea.
"I get that. What are you gonna do about it?" Ryder asked, placing a hand on John's lap. "I don't know. There's nothing I can do about it. If I tell the police, it would embarrass Adam and I know that Adam wouldn't testify against Jay. And what kills me is that there is a reason Adam is letting Jay do this to him, but he won't tell me. I mean, what can Jay help Adam with that I can't?" John didn't realise that he was holding Ryder's hand and softly stroking it. Ryder tried to remain as still as possible; he felt if he moved, John would stop. "But hey, if anyone can figure this out, it's Nick Milek. Always saving the day! I still wonder why Punk calls him P.J. though." John smiled for a moment and glanced back to the tea and got up. Ryder tried to not look disappointed.
"I like to take the tea out before it starts boiling because then, I can just sip it without getting burned. Do you want yours boiled?" John asked, looking back at Ryder as he poured his tea. "No, your way's fine." Ryder smiled. "Actually, its Milek's way. He has a tea addiction, I don't know why." John said as he reached into his cupboard and pulled out the sugar. "How much sugar?" John asked. "5" Ryder answered. "Five teaspoons, got it." Ryder chuckled, "Tablespoons. You guys have your coffee; I have my sugar-filled everything." Ryder smiled. John nodded, "Fair enough."
John brought the tea to the living room table and set the cups down. "So, you say Milek will save the day. What makes you so positive?" Ryder asked, trying not to sound negative. "He always has. Although I'd be lying if I said his methods aren't crazy." John smiled as he sipped his tea. "Like when?" Ryder asked chuckling. John and Ryder spent the rest of the night talking about The Great Tales of Nick Milek while they enjoyed their tea.
3:08am
"Man, look at the time." John said glancing over to his phone. "Yea, it's really late. I should get back to the hotel." Ryder said as he took the tea to the kitchen sink. "It's really late and after the tea, I wouldn't want you falling asleep on the road." John said as he followed Ryder and put his cup in the sink as well. "Yea, maybe you're right. You got a huge house; you have any spare rooms I can use?" Ryder asked. "Yea, I have tons. But. Uh, how about you and I bunk? I can't sleep without snuggling." John blushed. Ryder smiled, not caring about hiding it from John. "Yea, me too." Ryder said. "Let's go." John said. John and Ryder went to bed. "I like to sleep in just briefs. Hope you don't mind." John said taking off his shorts. Ryder swallowed before saying, "No problem at all. Me too." Ryder said as he took off his shorts and shirt.
John turned off the light as they got in bed and though first reluctant, he snuggled up to Ryder. Ryder hugged cuddled with John with a huge smile on his face. "Zack, you know I can hear you smiling." John said. Ryder's smile just grew. "Sorry, I guess I'm a little happy." Ryder said, closing his eyes.
I'm not sure about the Ryder/Cena pairing but i just adore them together. Rydena? Censer? Zohn Ryna? Beside the name, I think they're adorable. But WILL MILEK SAVE THE DAY? Will Punk and John get back together? Will Cena and Ryder fall in love? I don't know. Review and let me know what you think about the story, your opinion on Rydcena(LOL) perhaps a cuter couple name and/or what may happen next. And for those that don't know, Nick Milek is a fictional character made up entirely of my crazy imagination. I modeled him after the main character on one of my favorite shows, The Mentalist, Patrick Jane.
