"Come on please Elle?" Courtney asked.

"It means I'm not going up there to get yelled at again right away." She says

"She isn't going to yell at you with Elle right there?" Randy says from over the banister. "But I need to talk to you both, so I'll bring her down here."

Randy walks into the room. "Court, I need to talk to you."

"I'm busy trying to get Elle to talk or at least move." Courtney said.

"Fine." Riley says

"If you'd let me talk to you, I may be able to help with that or at least get you to understand why she's like that."

"Is that selfish pain in the ass out there?" Courtney asked.

Randy sighs.

"Yes...but if you cared about Elle you'll get your cute little ass down there and listen to what I have to say."

"Fine but I'm not talking to her, once you're done talking I'm coming back up here." Courtney said as she got off the bed then unlocked the door and walked out.

"I can live with that." He says, walking downstairs and sitting down in the living room.

Courtney followed Randy then sat down next to him.

Randy looks at the both of them before starting to speak.

"I seriously haven't seen Elle shut down like this since we were kids, so I'm worried about her...really worried." He says.

"You may or may not know that Elle's mother was a drug addict and a alchoholic and that put her through a lot growing up and her step father beat the hell out of her mother. The only people she was really close to was my family and her real dad. Elle would come over to our house at night, crying her eyes out, shaking most of the time because she was so scared. When her dad died when she was ten, she felt like had no one. She shut down and she lost it. Didn't talk to anyone for months, she would just go to school, come home and just sit there." He says, sighing.

"My family was the only one's their for. She trusts very few people and the fact that she let John in and he left her like that, reminds of her of when her dad died cause he promised to get her away from everything when he could afford it, but when he died he left with nothing in her mind. That's why she's like that right now, she feels abandoned by the one person she loves the most."

Courtney felt tears in her eyes.

"Oh my god...we have to get John back for her." Courtney said.

"I'm not saying it's going to be as bad as it was last time, she'll probably just busy herself so she doesn't have to think about it. But that bright and sunny Elle that we're so used to seeing is going to be gone for a while." He says.

Courtney nodded then got up and walked upstairs back to Elle then closed the door. She went over to her then hugged her.

Randy looks over at Riley.

---

Elle feels Courtney hug her, but does nothing.

Courtney pulled away.

"It's okay I get it now." Courtney said.

Riley couldnt say anything, but she knew what she had to do and that was get Cena's sorry ass back to Elle.

"What are you thinking Riley?" Randy asks.

---

Elle looks over Courtney and gets up and goes to the bathroom, locking the door behind her.

"Nothing. Just planning to get Cena back to Elle." She says

"I have no idea how she's going to act if she gets back with him. She loves him, but it'll take her forever to get back to the way things used to be." Randy says, running his hands over his head.

Courtney sighed.

"Elle please let me help you." Courtney said.

"I know. But I cant let her go threw this alone and he is the one who needs to see what he has done so if I have to I'll make out a plan on my own to get them in the same room. I feel like I owe it to them. Cause Courtney was right." Riley says tearing up

Elle opens the bathroom door before sitting on the bathroom sink.

----

"What are you talking about? And how are you going to get the two of them together, Elle won't even speak to anybody?" Randy says.

"I'm going to get Elle time before I do anything Orton. Which means I have time to plan everything out. Dont worry you will be filled in." She says
