''I cannot believe you washed the pink out of your hair,Jon.'' Sarah said as she and her best friend are backstage,waiting for him to go to the ring.
''Eh,the pink hair,it was Jon Moxley for a little while,but I'm evolving,I needed a change in appearance.''
''I guess you're right,but it suited you,you're the only guy I know who could pull off fuschia hair.''
Jon shrugged and smiled.
''Oh well,you're natural hair looks good too.I'm sure it'll win over more female fans.''
Jon's music hit and it was time for him to go out.
''Thanks dollface.''Jon said and kissed her cheek and went out to the ring.
Jon kissed Sarah's cheek before every match,she was his good luck charm,if you will. Sarah didn't mind him doing this at all,it just hurt her because they were just friends,always have been and probably always will be. She's been in love with him since junior high. But they had known each other since before that. They lived in the same apartment complex growing up. He's the one who got her into wrestling,they used to spend hours watching old WWF,WCW and ECW tapes and practicing moves on each other. Even though she had no intention of becoming a wrestler herself. It 's just something she enjoyed.
She was still standing backstage when Jon's match was over.
''So did you win?''She asked.
''You're fucking kidding me right? You weren't watching me?''He sounded hurt.
''I was kidding!Of course I was watching you,Jesus Jon,you can be so touchy.''
''Well I can't help it,you're my good luck charm.'' He smiled at her.
'Just fuck me,Jon,please.' She thought to herself.
''Hey you wanna grab a beer?''
''Sure.''
''Let me get changed and we'll head to the bar.'' He said as he headed to his dressing room.
''Hey Sarah.'' Sami Callihan smiled at her as she was waiting for Jon outside the gym.
''Oh hey Sami.''
''What's up?''
''Just about to head to the bar with Jon.''
''Cool. Maybe I'll see you there.''He smiled and walked away.
She wondered if Sami had a crush on her,he always seemed to be around. She'd thought about going out with him but didn't say anything,she didn't know how Jon would react to his two best friends dating each other.
Jon came out of the gym and they started walking to the bar,it was only a couple of blocks away.
''My mom called.''Jon said out of the blue.
''Really?''
''Yeah. She said she's gonna go to rehab. You believe that shit?''
She knew Jon's mom had been an addict for a long time and doubted she'd ever actually get clean.
''No,not really.''
''Me either. Oh and she thinks she may be a sex addict.'' He chuckled.
''Ha,like that's a real disease.''
''I know,right?If there was such a thing I'd probably be one of 'em though.''
''Yeah,didn't you brag once that you've slept with every girl in the greater Cincinnati area?''
''Well not ALL of them. I haven't slept with you.'' He looked over to her.
''And you probably never will. Unless you get drunk enough.''
''I won't lie,I have thought about it.''He said as he opened the door to the bar and walked in.
She figured he probably had thought about it at some point,they HAD known each other for a long time. But she decided she wouldn't say anything about it unless he did.
Apparently Jon let it go. He went to the bar to grab them a drink while she found a booth.
''Here you are,my lady.''Jon said and handed the beer to Sarah.
''Why thank you kind sir.''
Jon twisted open the cap and chugged half of it in a few gulps.
''Ah,that's perfect right after a win.''
''So when's your next match?''Sarah asked.
''Night after tomorrow. It's at the church gym,you gonna come?''
''Yeah, you know I never miss any of your matches.''
''Well you can't. See ,I've gotten superstitious about it,I thoroughly believe you are my good luck charm. I guess you could say you're my lucky rabbit's foot.''
'Well then you should rub me.'She thought to herself.
Jon smirked as if he knew what she was thinking. He glanced over her shoulder to the bar.
''Hey,Sami's here.'' He said and pointed his head in the direction of the bar.
''Oh,he said he may come by.''
Sami smiled and nodded at the two sitting in the booth,they returned it.
''I think he likes you,y'know.''
''Really?I kinda think so too but ,I don't know.''
''You do have a lot in common. Music ,horror movies,books and whatnot.''
She just shrugged her shoulders in an 'I don't know' fashion. Sami came over and sat next to Sarah in the booth.
''Hey guys.''
''Yo Sami.''Jon said.
''Sarah,it's lovely to see you again.'' He said and turned toward her.
She had to suppress a laugh. It was weird hearing Sami Callihan,The New Horror,say the word 'lovely'.
''Hi,Sami.''
''You know,I saw you watching Jon backstage tonight,you never watch my matches like that.''
''I,uh...I do so.''
''Eh,it doesn't matter. You looked cute though,but then again,you always do.''
Sarah looked across the table and gave Jon a look that said 'what the fuck?'.Jon had to stop himself from laughing.
''I'm gonna go grab another beer.''Jon said and got up.
''So,Sarah,you uh...you seeing anyone?''
''Nope.''
Sami smiled.
''Maybe we could hang out sometime.''
She thought about it. She didn't really know what to say. She wasn't sure if she liked Sami in that way,and she still wanted to be with Jon.
'You've got to get over that,he doesn't want you like that and probably never will.'She told herself.
''Well...what do you say?''
''Uh,yeah,sure.''She finally said.
''Great.I'll text you and set it up.''
Jon came back over and sat down.
''So,what'd I miss?''
''Sarah agreed to go out with me.''Sami answered.
''Really now?Did you?''He asked her.
She nodded her head.
''Hope you guys have fun.''
''I'm sure we will. Listen ,I gotta run,I have to be at the gym early tomorrow to help set up for tomorrow night's show. I'll see you guys later.''Sami said and smiled at Sarah and left.
''So you and Sami...''
''I figured I should give him a shot,he is cute.''
''Right,I forgot you go for guys who wear eyeliner .''Jon said and smirked. Sarah stuck her tongue out at him.
''I should be going too.I gotta work tomorrow.''
''Okay,I may come by and talk a few minutes then.''
They both got up.
''All right,I'll talk to you tomorrow then.''She said.
He hugged her and then she left. He didn't know how to feel about her and Sami. Part of him thought they belonged with each other but a small part of him kept asking 'Why didn't you ever try to be with her?'
He shut that voice up by having a shot of whiskey.
