Somebody Save Me From Myself (Open)

John also laid down and relaxed. He drifted off to sleep, but he was haunted by what Dave had done to him. He gasped as he woke up. He wiped the sweat of his forehead and looked at Ted who was also sleeping. He went over and gently shook him. "Hey... you don't mind if I lay with you, right?" He whispered hopefully.

Ted didn't answer, just pulled him into his arms and fussed a bit, falling back to sleep.

John smiled softly and curled against Ted, his nee resting on his waist as he drifted off to a much more peaceful sleep.

Teds eyes fluttered open the next morning, John in his arms. He was confused on how it happened but he liked it, so he lay there, awake, John in his arms.

John was till asleep, still curled up in Ted's arms, just enjoying the feeling of being held. He sighed sight contently, loving how Ted's arms felt around him.

Ted looked over his shoulder at the time, sighing when he saw it was almost 12. He had a signing at one and He just wanted to get there, get it over with and come back to the hotel. Randy was going to be there, along with Bryan and Mike. He untangled himself from John, getting up and going into the bathroom.

John groaned at the loss of warmth. He awoke and saw the time. He had to be at the sining too, along with Ted and a bunch of other guys. He sighed, waiting for Ted to come out so he could get ready as well.

Ted took a nice, hot shower, letting the water soothe him. He stepped out about half an hour later, wrapping a towel around his waist and walking into the bedroom and to his stuff, not noticing John.

John whistled playfully. "Nice bod." He chuckled and went into the bathroom to get ready.

Ted looked at John when he heard him speak. He chuckled slightly, pulling out some clothes. He guessed it was okay. There were a few scars here and there Randy left, playing them off as wrestling accidents. He sighed as he got dressed. He was not looking forward to this signing.

John finished and got dressed in his expensive cloths. "Let's go." He said, going over to Ted and pulling him by the hand out to the car.

Ted followed him reluctantly. The only reason he socialized with anyone, let alone Randy, was because it was his job. He climbed into the passenger seat when they arrived at the car, laying his head against the window.

When they arrived at the signing, John turned to Ted. "C'mon Teddy. Stop being sad and smile for me." He said, poking Ted's arm.

Ted looked at him, his face staying the same. He looked ahead and kept walking, freezing when he heard Randys voice.
"Teddy. Long time, no talk," was all Ted heard before he ran, anywhere, everywhere, trying to get away from Randy. He ran inside the building and found a room, dashing inside and locking it, leaning against the door and breathing heavy.

John frowned and looked at Randy. "What the hell was that?" He growled at the bigger man.

Randy looked at him. "I have no clue. All I said was hi," he stated, walking past John, smirking when John couldnt see the front of him. He loved to toture Ted.
Ted slid down the door so he was sitting, knees against his chest and his arms wrapped around his legs. His chin was resting on his knees as he tried to hold back the tears.

John just shook his head and went to look for Ted. When he found him, he immediately sat down next to him, wrapping his arms around him. "Ted, you okay?" He asked worriedly.

Ted didnt look at him, didnt even notice he was there. He just sat there, in that position, replaying in his mind over and over the things Randy had done to him.

John pulled Ted to his chest, which was hard because he was smaller, but he managed to comfort the other superstar.

Ted leaned into John, biting his lip as he held back the dam of tears just waiting to break. He hoped that John didnt speak because if he did, that would most likely cause the dam to break.

John knew ted was trying to hold back the tears. "Let go, caro mio." (My darling)

That made Ted burst into tears, which he hated to do. He sobbed into Johns chest, mentally kicking himself for being such a baby.

john rubbed his back, cooing to him softly. "Hey... its okay, don't be ashamed. Just let it out..." he whispered.

There was a knock on the door. "Their about to start the signing," a guy said. Ted took a deep breath, pulling himself together and wiping his tears before standing up, praying he didnt have to sit next to Randy.

They went to the spot where the signing was. He saw Ted about to sit next to Randy. "Lemme sit there." He said, not waiting for an answer and plopping down next to Randy, knowing something was off with Ted, and Randy was the cause of it.
