To Be Torn Between Two

Chapter 14: All Hell Breaks Loose

Randy pressed the end call button before walking out of the room to where Cody sat on the couch. Throwing the phone onto the couch, caught Cody by surprise. He was worried about his best buddy. Lately Randy, had completely lost his mind, even though Cody, on many occasions, had reminded him that this wasn't the end of the world.

"I take it that Eve didn't want to talk to you then?" Cody asked, a little sheepishly. He didn't want to get on Randy's bad side, especially now, right after a phone call with his ex-girlfriend.

"I didn't get to talk to Eve because Phil snatched the phone away from her" Randy explained, his hand now balled into a fist as he eyes darted around looking for something to punch.

"Look, man you need to calm down. I've told you plenty of times that this isn't the end of the world. There's plenty of fish in the sea-"

"When I see Phil I'm going to teach that punk a lesson" Randy spat, as he began to pace angrily around the room. With a sigh Cody rose from the couch and blocked his path.

"No dude, you leave the past in the past. You don't need to do anything, you got that?" Cody, who was level headed tried to convince the WWE's Apex Predator that it wasn't best to confront CM Punk over the matter.

"Ok, will you please shut up and get your head out of ass, it's not a fucking hat" Randy snapped back at him. Cody was completely taken aback by this statement.

"I get that your upset man, I really do but there's no need to take this out on me. I'm only trying to help you" Cody stated, his brow furrowed in concern for his best buddy. Randy let out a sigh of frustration before slumping down onto the couch, trying his best to avoid Cody's gaze. He felt like crying, he truly did but he didn't want Cody to witness one of his large emotional outbursts. "Randy..." Cody started, realizing that his friend was visibly shaken from the events of the week. "You can't let this take over your life man."

"Do you have any idea of what I've done?" Randy choked out, trying his hardest to swallow the prominent lump in his throat. "In the space of a couple of months, I have destroyed the lives of two girls. I took away the friendship they once had and I broke both of their hearts. Do you know what that makes me Cody?" Randy finally looked up at him. "Do you?"

"Randy I-"

"Phil was right Cody...As much as I hate to admit it, Phil was right" Randy stated, a wry smile appearing on his face which only seemed to creep Cody out more. Something was seriously wrong with his best buddy and he needed to do something about it. "I am a conceited asshole, who doesn't know how to treat a girl. I had something perfect with Eve yet threw it all away, for a girl who is going on a date with her best friend... Fuck me dead!"

"I rather wouldn't..." Cody mumbled which only earnt him a deadly glare from Randy. "Wait, did you say Kelly and John are going out on a date?" Cody asked in complete confusion.

"Yes they are, can we please not talk about that" Randy deadpanned as Cody nodded his head in agreement. He didn't want to upset his buddy any further. "It pisses the shit out of me, how I can leave my girlfriend of two years for a girl, who supposedly loved me. I thought that was what she wanted? For me to leave Eve? Then after all the turmoil I had to go through to leave Eve, Kelly just runs off with Super Cena. You know what? I don't even have a right to complain because I had a girlfriend which means all other girls were off limits and I knew she had feelings for John but I still fell for her anyway. I am such an idiot" Randy finished rambling before he buried his face into his hands, sighing in frustration.

"You couldn't have known that John was going to ask her out on a date, you couldn't have known that Eve would have gone back to her ex. Unfortunately these things happen Orton and we can't change these things, we can only deal with them. Which gives me an idea." Randy looked up at him in curiosity. "How about you, Layla and I, go clubbing in a couple of hours, you know, to lighten the mood?" Cody suggested, which consequently caused Randy to raise his eyebrows at his best buddy.
