Four corners

Mickie

Mickie sat in the silence of the arena, everyone had left hours ago and she was alone. The pressures of being a diva in the WWE were great, keeping in shape, being on the road, never seeing your families and recently she had been wondering whether it was all worth it.

Resting her arms on the ropes on the ring Mickie dangled her legs over the edge of the apron and swung her feet back and forth, she was staring at the floor and fighting back tears. Swiping her hand across her eyes she sniffed as a tear escaped and hit her thigh darkening the material of the jeans she was wearing.

"Damm this business." She whispered to herself thinking of just how lonely and isolated she had become, sure she had friends, but ones she worked with. Their relationships all seemed to revolve around work and wresting, working out eating the right things and then performing. Even her best friend Beth Phoenix was distant as of late and Mickie didn't know what she had done to upset her. Sure their relationship had been strained since Mickie had been moved to Smackdown, but they were back together on the blue brand now and yet Beth seemed to tolerate her more than make an effort to spend time with her. Mickie looked up at the lights still shining above her head as she heard the crew start to take down all the posters and arena decorations and she wondered if she should get going. Not wanting to move just yet and not actually being able to see anyone Mickie took in a deep shaky breath and tried to calm herself down. She had had days like this before where everything seemed to be turning to crap and she couldn't find the wood for the trees, but it seemed that something always came along for her. This time her gloomier mood had lasted not days but weeks, maybe that was why Beth was trying to avoid her, maybe it was her own crabbiness that was pushing her one time friend away and Mickie couldn't help but let loose a small sob as she buried her head in her hands and tried to control the onslaught of emotions as they finally bubbled to the surface.

"Get a grip Mickie James." She said to herself wiping at the tears and getting up sharply and leaning against the ring post tapping her foot on the floor and resting her arms over the ropes.

"God sometimes I am so pathetic no wonder no man wants you." She hissed to herself as she swung round and bowed her head staring at the floor. Another thing came to her mind, how many relationships had this business ruined? How many missed opportunities to settled down and be happy had she had to give up just so she could hear people cheer her name. collapsing once more Mickie didn't know why she couldn't get out of the sudden depression she had found herself in. once she had been so happy that god himself could have struck her down and she would have gone with a smile on her face, but now she just felt like she was being crushed and she didn't know what to do about it.

Mickie almost jumped at the hand on her shoulder, it was firm and reassuring and the smell of the warm male body just out of the shower beside her made Mickie rub at her already red puffy eyes and run her hands though her hair.

"Umm hi Randy." Mickie said not knowing just how to start a conversation with someone you hardly knew who was now looking at your snot covered red face.

"Hey Mickie do you fancy a milk shake?" He said and Mickie almost had to ask him to repeat his question.

"Umm sure that sounds nice." She said settling for cool and calm she allowed him to help her up.

Walking backstage and towards the car park neither wrestler said anything, the only thing that Mickie noticed was that Randy was walking very close to her, close enough to touch but he had not done so since he had helped her down from the ring.

Stepping outside Mickie realised just how dark it had gotten and she hoped that no one had been too worried about her.

Climbing into Randy's car he put it in gear and pulled out of the car park, he glanced across at his small companion and Mickie met his eyes briefly.

"It's just around the corner, I hope you like this place its one of my favourites." Randy said as he turned the car left into a side road and then into another car park.

"I bet its great." Mickie said she was surprised by the Vipers behaviour, she knew Randy was a nice guy that he had huge respect for the business and everyone who worked there, but she had never really spoken to him before, sides the odd hello and how are you their relationship was pretty much polite to non existent. Now here he was holding the door open for her and asking what flavour of milkshake she would like. Mickie guessed that she wasn't going to push another person away just so she didn't look week she told him strawberry and Randy smiled down at her and handed her the beverage.

BETH

Sitting alone in her room Beth flicked the stations on her TV, the other diva's were down in the bar, all having a nice time after finishing that nights Smackdown. Beth was going to join them she knew she should really being the newest diva and getting to know everyone was important. Although she knew most of the people on her new roster there were still a few new faces and she had done her best to meet and greet. Everyone seemed lovely but she kept glancing at the door. Her best friend had not come back from the arena yet and she couldn't help but worry about her. She had sent her a text an hour or so ago but had only gotten a short 'I'm fine' reply and Beth had to refrain from throwing her phone across the room.

It had not gone unnoticed by the Glamazon that Mickie had changed, from bubbly and funny to down right moody and Beth was wondering if the woman she once knew was even still in there.

Sighing and throwing the remote down on the bed leaving on some documentary about snakes Beth pulled off her sweater and went into the bathroom. Turning on the light she stared at her reflection in the mirror and placed her hands on the sink.

"Where are you Mickie." She spoke aloud as if her own reflection was going to give her the answers but unsurprisingly it did not reply.

Turning on her heal and flicking on the shower Beth quickly disrobed and climbed in under the soothingly hot spray. Closing her eyes she lean back and allowed the water to run down through her blonde tresses as she wiped the worst of the water from her eyes. Deciding that she really should get some sleep tonight she quickly washed her hair and got out of the steamy bathroom clad in a towel.

Going straight to her phone she noticed that she had no new messages and she sighed.

"I will not ring her." Beth said placing her phone on the bed side table and drying herself off. Squeezing the excess moisture out of her hair she walked across her room and pulled on a old pair of shorts and a vest shirt.

Throwing the covers back and climbing in to bed Beth closed her eyes, she rolled on to her stomach, then on to her side.

"Oh to hell with it!" Beth said throwing off the covers and flicking on the light switch. Grabbing her phone she scrolled through her phone until she found Mickie's name and pressed send.

Holding the phone to her ear Beth listened to it ring. Four five six times and then her voice.

"Hello."

"God damm it Mickie where are you?" Beth said trying to sound angry but she was secretly so glad her friend was not lying on some ditch somewhere.

"Oh I am so sorry, I just went out for a milkshake that's all."

"On your own at this time of night?"

"No Randy is with me." Beth smirked at the happy tine to Mickie's voice when she mentioned Randy's mane and the blonde found a smile of her own.

"Ok then you kids don't go staying up to late now." She replied finding it impossible to keep the smile out of her voice and she could almost here Mickie roll her eyes.

"Ok Beth I will see you in the morning bye."

"Bye Mick's" Beth said as she replaced the phone on her bed side table, looking back at her bed she decided that now she would have to get some sleep and she hoped Mickie wouldn't get back so late she couldn't get up for their early morning flight.

With a final thought to her conversation with Mickie and the glimpse she got of her old friend Beth pulled the covers up to her chin and let sleep take her.

JOHN

He was sat in another hard plastic chair waiting for yet another aeroplane, this was not the glamorous life style he had signed up for. Not that he had ever thought of the WWE as a glamorous life that is, its just he was getting some pretty serious butt cramp from these chairs.

Pulled from his thoughts by the smell of fresh coffee John looked up and held out his hands like a child as his best friend gave him the cup.

"You know I should charge you a delivery fee." Randy said as he sat in the chair next to John and gave him a evil smirk.

"Yeah which I will remind you of the next time you send me out at O'Christ hundred to MacDonald's, because you just have to have a big Mac or you might die." John shot back but he could see that Randy was no longer paying attention to him. John followed Randy's eye line and saw Mickie James carrying a rather large carry on case walking beside a particularly lovely looking Beth Phoenix. John shook his head he had never thought of Beth as lovely, sexy sure, devastating absolutely but lovely he turned his attention to his obviously distracted partner in crime and nudged him in the arm.

"Hey put your tongue back in your head, your getting a wet patch." John said as Randy turned to him but snapped his jaw shut.

"Quite I think they are coming over." Randy said placing his foot up on his knee and trying to look cool as Mickie and Beth came across the lounge and Mickie smiled at Randy meeting his gaze.

John couldn't help but notice the subtle look they gave one another as the women approached their position and John had a feeling something was going on here that Randy had failed to mention.

Sure he had come back late last night and said he had found Mickie who looked liked she could use someone to talk to and he had taken her out for a milkshake. He had not said anything about it turning into something more personal, but now John looked from randy to Mickie and then finally in to the crystal blue of Beth as they shared a look between them John was sure something more than meets the eyes was going on and he was going to find out what.

Before John could tease the pair about their obvious staring they were called for boarding and he had no choice but to wait until they were safely on the plane and in the air.

"You like her." John said as Randy was about to put on his head phones and the third generation superstar stopped and frowned at his friend.

"Of course I do she is a great girl." Randy replied as if it was so obvious a worm would have seen that one faster.

"No I mean you really like her." John intoned waggling his eyebrows and Randy folded his arms across his chest.

"She is a nice person I hardly know her so I can't say if I really like her or not yet, you wanna shut up for ten minutes or are you going to chew my ear off the entire flight." Randy said now giving John the patented Orton smirk to take the sting out of his words and John could only grin back at the obvious discomfort in his friends eyes.

"Think I might catch the movie, oh the lion king I love that." John said as he settled back in his chair to watch the children's classic and not caring who saw him.

RANDY

He had been finishing up his shower when he noticed that he had left his phone at the gorilla position. Walking towards the arena entrance Randy looked down at the ring and saw a lone figure sitting on the apron head in her hands. He could not quite make out who it was from this distance but he suspected it was none other that the usually bubbly Mickie James.

Randy didn't know the diva very well but she seemed polite and hard working and as a wrestler he had to respect her talent. Walking down the ramp he went quietly he didn't want to scare her but as he placed a hand on her shoulder she jumped slightly. He saw her quickly try to wipe her face but he kept eye contact with her and smiled.

"You fancy a milkshake?" He asked and she had said yes. His heart had skipped a beat at her acceptance.

Randy had just let her be quite on the drive to a little café he knew, he didn't want to push her, he hardly knew her and he had no idea why she had been so upset before. All he could do was be there right now so he asked her what flavour she would like and had brought it for her.

She looked surprisingly happy with the simple gesture and randy suspected that right now maybe all Mickie need was a friend and he tried to keep the topics of conversation light.

"So you didn't fancy the party in the hotel bar tonight then." He asked as he tried to pull his own thick shake though the straw and failing miserably.

"No not really, whenever the diva's get together it always ends up with someone having to streak though the hotel because they lost some kind of bet. I don't think I was quite on winning form today." Mickie said a slight smile on her face and Randy liked how her eyes lit up when she smiled at him.

"Me either, plus I am on the early flight tomorrow killer a." He said giving up with his straw and tilting the glass to his lips. Pulling the cold sweet liquid in to his mouth he smacked his lips in satisfaction as Mickie seemed to turn very red.

Randy thought the diva was going to faint until she exploded in laughter and Randy cocked an eyebrow at her.

"You …have..some…on your face.." Mickie said between gasps of breath and giggles as Randy realised he had milkshake moustache and a fairly substantial one at that.

Mickie was broken out of her giggling fit by the sound of her phone. Randy was not surprised when he heard Beth's name as he knew the two divas were friends and he briefly wondered why Mickie had not gone to her when she was feeling down. Mickie hung up and looked from Randy to her watch.

"I guess it is late." Randy said getting up and offering Mickie his arm as they walked back to his car together.

"Thank you." Mickie said as Randy pulled in to the car park for the hotel and she unbuckled her seat belt. Randy turned in his seat and looked at her as she reached forward for the door handle and she opened the door and got out.

Randy followed her and locked the doors coming around to the same side of the car that Mickie was on as she waited for him to join her just beyond the curb that lead to the entrance of their hotel, Randy noted that she looked somewhat nervous again and he decided to not get to close this time.

"Any time Mickie." He said as he grinned at her and walked her to the doors where they parted company.

Randy had closed his eyes that night and had thought about nothing but the way Mickie's eyes had lit up when she had smiled, but it was more than that, there was sadness there, a deep kind of sadness that he desperately wanted to fix so he could only ever see her smile.
