I spent most of my Tuesday morning watching tv. Randy and I sat on the couch, laughed on the couch together and had a fun morning.

John was still in the shower all morning. Well, considering we had another hour until the clock hit 12, I finally heard the shower go off. I wonder what took him so long.

He came out of the shower and yelled from the same hallway, "Hey, Randy. Got an extra shirt I can borrow?" I felt Randy shift off the couch and head down the hallway.

*John's POV*

Randy came to the back of the bus, I forgot an extra shirt and my shirt from last night reeked of sweat, so I asked Randy if I could borrow one of his. I didn't know if he knew about me and Victory yet, but if he didn't I was sure gonna tell him.

"Did you hear?" I asked him as he searched his duffel bag for a new shirt.

"Hear what?" He asked as he briefly looked up from the bag and at me.

"About me and Victory?" I sounded more excited than I intended to, but Victory was something to get excited over. She was perfect. Her hair, her cheeks, the way she smiled, even her devilish ideas. No matter what she does, I could never hate her.

"Yeah." He handed me a T-Shirt, "Victory told me this morning. Man, I can't believe you." His voice drained of it's happiness, "You've known this girl for what? Two weeks, and you're already dating her?"

"What are you trying to say?" He was starting to piss me off. Why did he care if I date? I put his shirt on and he continued.

"Just be careful, man. I don't want you to end up hurting the girl. Promise me that at least?"

"You know I can't promise that."

"That's what I'm afraid of." He kinda muttered. He left me there in his room. I don't know why he was so concerned. He shows no intrest in her and he knows this is the girl of my dreams. What's his problem?

*Victory's POV*

The TV went to a commerical and it was something about a pillow, I was too distracted by my thoughts. I started sign the lyrics to Pink's 'Trouble'. "I'm trouble, yeah, trouble now. I'm trouble, y'all. I got a stir in my town." I kept singing the chorus. I felt like I could hear the music pumping through my ears. Randy and John walked through the hallway from the back of the bus. I stopped signing and gave John a smile.

He gave a smile back and slid on the couch right up next to me. One of his arms wrapped around my waist and I snuggled up against him. I loved feeling his safe warmth next to mine. Randy sat next to me and smiled at the sight of us. I laid my head on his chest and continued to look at the TV. The news were back on and it was a story about Kane's doings from last night.

The memories flooded back, all the horrific moments, from the point where I entered the ring with AJ to where I saw Dani's body fall to the unforgiving ground. I must have tensed up my muscles just at the thought of it, and John must have felt me. His grip around my waist tightened a little and he kissed the top of my head. I knew I was over reacting about this, Kane was only trying to mess with my head. But I knew this wasn't the end. It was far from over.

"John, watch what you do in public." I said suddenly.

"What?" He said. I could hear the vibration of his voice through his chest. I was kinda a funny feeling.

I sat back up on the couch to look at him and made sure he understood my warning, "Be careful of what you do out in public. This goes for you too, Randy."

"What makes you so worried of what we do in public?" Randy asked.

I got up and started pacing, I always did that when I was nervous, "Think about it. We all know Kane, he messes you with your head. All he's done is terrify AJ and hurt Dani. I think he's trying to find something else to torture me with. He's run out of ideas."

Randy scoffed, "Kane? Run out of ideas? We all know he never runs out of ideas of how to screw with your mind."

"No," John leaned on his elbows on his knees, "She might be onto something. Kane would've stayed and watched Victory's breakdown, but instead he just walked away. He isn't like that. He might not have run out of ideas, but he's definitely up to something."

I was rethinking my encounters with Kane. First, there was the favor, then the encounter in the ring. He doesn't really know much, not unless he's getting outside information. "I feel like he's targeting the ones around me, but he's doing something much more. He's up to something, but I have no idea what it is. Randy, this makes you a target as well."

"I know." Randy replied.

A phone went off, must be a text, but it wasn't my phone so, I didn't pay much attention to it. John took out his phone and looked at the incoming message. He gave a funny look and went to the back of the bus. I looked over at Randy and he shrugged. I went back to my pacing. I shouldn't be worrying what John does right now. Right now, I should be focused on Kane. I have three weeks to think about it, but that'll take too long. It hit me, I won't be wrestling for three weeks. Three weeks of nothing to do. Three weeks of insanity.

I started biting my thumbnail. "I don't really see what's there to worry about." Randy said, "Your on off. It's like a vacation, so you shouldn't be stressing, you should be relaxing." 

"Relaxing? Relaxing? I shouldn't be relaxing when my best friend's in the hospital and there's a big, red monster after me, who can do anything and everything unpredictable. He could be outside my tour bus all I know." I started to tremble. The thought of Kane being anywhere and nowhere at all scared me. I've never been this scared, I was always able to hold fear back, but this time, it was different. This time, there was a monster out there playing one of his sick little games, and I was the playing piece. 

My eye started to twitch, another sign that I was starting to lose it. I snapped my eyes closed to stop the twitching and took a couple breaths. That didn't help at all. It only made things worst, to know that I was beginning to lose my mind. I heard Randy get off the couch and I felt his arms tightened around me in an effort to comfort me. I laid my head in his chest and started getting a hold of myself again. It wasn't like John's ,but  it was close enough. He started cooing in my ear, "Shh, it's gonna be alright,"

I stopped trembling and got my breathing under control. Something about Randy's calmness, made me calm. I stepped out of Randy's arms and felt tears trickling down my face, when did I start crying? "Look at me. I'm acting like a child." I said after a realization that I was acting silly like this.

"A child?" He laughed, "Did you ever see what happened to AJ last night? She's having a mental breakdown, they had to get her to rehab center. I'm surprise to not see you on the ground whimpering."

"Rehab?" This was new news to me. "AJ aside, I'm an emotional wreck and I'm dumping everything on you guys."

"You're not dumping anything on us."

"Randy, you're paying for Dani's medical bills, dealing with a monster on the loose, and to top it all off, me. Someone who can't control their emotions anymore like they've had for years without failure." I ran my hand through my hair and took another sigh, "I made this mess and I'm not the one cleaning it up."

"No, you're not. We're cleaning it up together. You, me, John, and Dani. All four of us are cleaning up this mess. You can't blame yourself for that. Me and John want to help. You took a risk and it didn't go as planned. Welcome to the business, kid. That's all this is." I pulled him in for a hug that I was grateful for these two going through all this trouble for me. Usually, I was always on my own, to figure stuff out. I had no one to lean on and I grew up like that and I became me, but John and Randy come along and showed me that I can lean on them for anything.

"No matter what you do, you're not a bother to me. Or John. We made this decision to live with you because we care about you and we knew this was a traumatizing moment. For anyone, in fact. We are your stepping stone." He said.

"Thank you." I whispered.

"That's why we're here." He kissed the top of my forhead and rocked me back and forth for a minute.  It was a soothing motion for me. I was getting sleepy fast. Me and Randy sat back on the couch and started to watch a old basketball game. He said it was to get my mind off of, you know who. It worked it actually worked. Who knew Randy was good at comforting people?

John came back from the back of the bus and was rushing around, gathering stuff. "John, what's wrong?" I finally asked.

"Last minute, business conference Vince needs me to attend. Something about showing a high ranking face in the WWE."

"You're leaving?" I wasn't concerned that he was leaving me, I was concerned about him going out there with Kane on the loose. 

"Yeah, sorry. Don't worry, I'll be back by tomorrow. I promise. Plus you got Randy to look after you."

I knew Randy was still staying here, "Well, Ok. See ya when you get back." He pecked me on the cheek and started head for the door.

"I'll be back you two." He started, "Don't get drunk and do something stupid, ok?" He stopped by the door and waited for a reply.

"No promises." Randy answered. I laughed. John rolled his eyes and exited the bus.
