"He hates me" Amy sighed as she flopped onto Dave's bed.
"Bestie he doesn't hate you. He's just upset" Dave told her.
At first, Ted was okay with the fact that Amy had chosen Randy and not him. But out of nowhere, things changed between them. He stopped joking around with her and he pretty much only hung out with her when it had to do with Legacy. Dave wasn't sure how much more he could take. Seeing his best friend as hurt as she was absolutely killed him and he was getting close to Batista Bombing some sense into Ted.
Even Randy was not happy with the way his girlfriend's other best friend was treating her. Ted had promised Amy that night on the beach that things wouldn't change. The way Ted had started treating Amy was affecting her relationship with Randy too. She had basically closed herself off from Randy.
Amy grabbed her mp3 player and put the headphones in her ears. That was basically her signal that she wanted to be left alone.
Dave got the hint and stormed out into the livingroom and sat on the couch. Randy came in and sat right next to him.
"I'm going to punch Ted" Dave grunted.
"You and me both" Randy sighed as he rubbed his hands thru his short hair. "This bullshit he's pulling is killing my relationship with her."
"This war insiiide has drained my wiiiiiiiill….Those things I've done were overkiiiiiiiiill" Amy sang from the room.
"Is she STILL listening to that depressing ass sludge metal?" Randy sighed. "I never thought I'd say this, but I miss her listening to her death metal crap. That shit she is listening to is fucking DEPRESSING."
"I am about two seconds away from snapping on DiBiase" Dave sneered. "He better shape the fuck up."

"Ted" Cody sighed. "I don't know if you've noticed or not, but Amy is really depressed."
"Yeah. I've noticed" Ted said with a frown.
"TED YOU STUBBORN ASS" Cody screamed in the hotel lobby. "YOU'RE THE REASON SHE'S DEPRESSED!!"
"I KNOW THAT RHODES" Ted screamed back. "DO YOU THINK I WANT TO MAKE MY BEST FRIEND FEEL LIKE SHIT??"
"THEN GO MAKE THINGS RIGHT WITH HER" Cody screamed again.
A lot of the other superstars were in the lobby and were staring at them. Legacy had been fighting a lot amongst themselves since Ted's attitude changed. In fact, the attitude change in Ted had pushed a lot of other superstars away from him too. They offered him smiles instead of hellos now.
Ted stood up and headed up towards the hotel room. He hoped his best friend could forgive him for the way he'd been acting. Ted knew that Amy wasn't exactly a forgiving person either. If you pissed her off or hurt her feelings, you could be sure you'd be in the dog house for a long while.
As Ted rode up in the elevator, he thought about the way he'd been acting. He hated himself for treating her the way he did, but his heart broke when she didn't pick him. Ted had known in the very back of his mind that Amy would probably pick Randy. After all, she'd gone back to him so many times despite the fact that Randy had royally fucked up with her. Ted couldn't understand why Amy had forgiven Randy all those times. He was sure that after Randy had punched him (and Amy defended his honor by punching Randy right square in the jaw) that it would officially be over with her and Randy and that maybe, just maybe, he'd have his shot with her. Unfortunately, things never go the way you hope they will. And Ted had found that out the hard way. He had hoped that he'd end up with Amy.
Sure he'd had a school boy crush on her, but that turned into full blown love after Amy kissed him. But he had never admitted it to anyone else, not even his other best friend Cody. Ted tried to convince himself over and over again that he could never have her. After all, Randy was in love with her. He had just about convinced himself when he ended up hooking up with her. Ted had never planned on telling Amy until that night when Dave encouraged him to tell her how he felt. He smiled to himself, remembering that night he told her no matter what they'd be 'BFFs for life.'
BFFs for life he thought to himself. Some BFF I turned out to be.
He walked into the hotel room and got glares from both Randy and Ted.
"I hope you're going in there and making up with her" Dave bellowed.
"Seriously Ted. This is a bunch of shit" Randy sneered. "You promised her shit wouldn't change."
"Sometimes I feel like a man that has two broken hands…Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah...All of this thrown at me, sinking me neck deep in saaaaaaand...Yeaaaaaaaah….They can't kill me no more….I don't know what to say 'cause it's lies….Liiiiiiiiies" Amy sang from the bedroom.
"Sounds like she is singing about YOU, Ted" Dave said as he glared.
Ted knew he couldn't win an argument with Dave and Randy so he made his way to where his best friend was. He leaned up against the door frame watching her and just listened to her sing for a little while longer. She may have been depressed but her singing voice was amazing.
"Underneath all this they should see the man that I aaaaam…Yeeaaaaaaaaaaaaah…All of my life I've been tried and then persecuted…Yeaaaaaaah…They can't kill me no more...I don't know what to say 'cause it's liiiiiiiiiies….liiiiiiiiiies" Amy sang passionately. She then held her own face in her hands and silently wept to herself. She hadn't noticed Ted was in the doorframe. He silently crept over and sat on the end of the bed.
What the hell am I going to say Ted thought to himself. Sorry that I'm the biggest asshole ever and broke my promise to you? Sorry I'm a terrible best friend? Sorry that I'm being an idiot?
Ted couldn't find the words. He stood up, sighed to himself, and headed towards the bedroom door.
"Junior…."
