I own no WWE folk, just my o.c's :) First fanfic, so enjoy hopefully.
What a weird world we live in. Here I am sitting on a flight to Baltimore, when last week I didn't have enought money to buy a proper dinner. First off, there are a few things you should know about me, the main one being that I'm a wrestler. Now I know what your thinking being a wrestler in Scotland can't pay much, and to that I'd say your right. It doesn't, but this was my passion, is my passion. The thing I was put on this earth for, there have been many people along the way that have told me to get a proper job. Your going nowhere, you travel up and down the country throwing your body around like your invincible. I know I'm not invincible, believe me - I've had the injuries to prove it. But I never once thought of giving it up, when my mum gave me the statistics of dying young as a wrestler I shrugged it off, "I was put on this earth to wrestle, if I die young having completed my destiny, I'll be dying happily." My mum was not pleased to hear that at all. I had always been into sports, really fit, worked out everyday. But still she wasn't going to accept it. Her daughter would get a "real job." I couldn't help but smirk as I thought of this. Here I am on a plane to Baltimore to see Raw live. And I know what your thinking, what's the big deal, thousands of people go to see Raw every week, why am I so different?
I was sitting in the lockeroom at the back of the perthshire townhall. Now when I say lockeroom I mean a regular room with chairs scattered all over the place, guys and girls getting changed into their gear, many well past their prime. As I finished lacing up my boots I looked up to see my best friend Bobby walking over to me. He sat down next to me as I taped up my wrists. "You'll never guess who's here."
Me not really paying attention shrugged as Bobby slapped my arm to get my attention. "Edge."
I looked up in confusion, what the hell would Edge, if it was really him, be doing in a crappy town hall in Perth?
Bobby brought his face in closer, not wanting to alert the other wrestlers. "Apparently he was heading for Aberdeen and got lost, when he stopped and asked if someone could point him in the direction of the wrestling show he was given directions to here. He's waiting on a car to drive him there now." Jamie looked expectantly at Bobby, not really sure why he was telling her this. Bobby just shook his head. "Jamie look, this is your big chance. He's one of your favourite wrestlers and he's here. Now. You need to go talk to him, otherwise you will regret it for the rest of your life." Bobby dragged me up and pulled me in close for a hug, turning his head slightly to whisper in my ear. "He's in the carpark, black Renault. You'll know what one." With that he released me as I stumbled shyly towards the door feeling Bobby nudge me from behind forced me out the back door causing it to slam shut behind me. He was sitting there in the shadows, his hat sitting low in the off chance that someone might actually recognise him. He was startled by the sudden slamming of the door, seeing me fall and land on the hard concrete. He stood up and wandered over as I stood up slowly, brushing the small stones out of my palms and checking I wasn't hurting anywhere else. I didn't even hear him come over, I was too preoccupied with myself to even remember why I had come out here in the first place. That was untill I heard his voice. "You alright there?" I looked up and couldn't help but feel my cheeks redden.
"Yeah, yeah I'm fine, just slipped on the way out." I hope he doesn't think I'm a complete dumbass. "Here come sit down, you look pretty shaken." He led me over to the bonnet of hi car where he proceeded to hoist me up on to. "Here's some water." He lifted a bottle out the driver's side of the car and placed it in my hand, looking over my arm which was pretty scraped up. I was in heaven. This was one of my favourite superstars, my idol and he's just given me some water out his rental car. "So you're a wrestler?" He said glancing down at my tight fitting red and black outfit, with my abs exposed.
"Yeah, living the dream." I joked, I really did love it but I'd have given anything to be where he is.
"Great to hear, been there myself. You've just gotta get through it, the grass is always greener-" He was interupted by the load groaning of the backdoor opening. "J, your on in two minutes, get your ass back inside."
Jamie turned back round to Edge sighing, "Well I gotta go live the dream."
"No problem...."
"Jamie." I smiled sticking out my hand.
"Jamie, I'm Adam." He smiled shaking my hand before I turned to walk away, turning back for a split second only to see him watch me go. We smiled at each other once again before I dissapeared back into the townhall. I stood there for the few seconds I had to spare taking in the past few minutes, I hadn't gotten time to ask him anything I wanted to and my moment was over. I still knew the moment lived up to all my expectations. He wasn't the jackass I'd read about on the dirtsheets, he was perfectly nice and polite.
"Please fasten your seatbelts, the plain is preparing for landing." I broke my gaze from out the window back into the cabin. I looked around seeing people settling down as the prepared to land, smiling at the woman sat next to me as she gripped tightly at the armrest, she was clearly not a fan of flying. I on the otherhand love it, there was something relaxing about being up in the sea of clouds beneath you. It was early in the flight when I first noticed the womans fear of flying, I started up my personal dvd player, and casually stuck in my lost dvd. I was halfway through the pilot when the woman tapped me on the shoulder, I removed on ear of my headphones and asked what was up. She then proceeded to ask me to turn my dvd off because it was making her panic, she was clearly shaken so I obliged turning it off and looking out into the blue sky, drifting off into that special day's memories.
I was stood atop of the turnbuckle, Gabrielle Angel sprawled across the centre of the ring. I took one last look back to check she was set in the correct position when I saw him. Standing in the back, hat covering his face so nobody recognised him. He was staring deeply at me. I suddenly clicked out of my trance, I had a match to win. I jumped back executing my flawless moonsault, 1. 2. 3. The referee rang the bell and raied my arm in victory, I stole a glance to the corner of the room, he was gone. The smile was lost from my face as I wondered if I had imagined his presence when Gabrielle hit me across the back with a forearm sending me towards the mat, she then proceeded to stomp into my lower back as the crowds booed heavily. The referee grabbed her, hauling her through the back as I lay holding my back. Bobby slid into the ring to help me up much to the relief of the fans, we were tag partners aswell as best friends, he put my arm around his shoulder in support to sell my injuries when he leaned in and whispered. "He was watching your match, he was standing in the corner."
I kept my head down to hide my smile, he was there. I didn't imagine it.
"You must have made quite the impression on him." We walked through to the lockeroom taking a seat in the corner next to our bags.
"How could I have made an impression on him? We only talked for like two seconds."
"Well he definetly saw something he liked in those two minutes." Jamie laughed and shoved him playfully in the shoulder. "I'm gonna go get my shower and head home, I've got a long drive ahead of me." Bobby nodded giving me a tight hug before grabbing his bag and heading home. He had wrestled in the first match so there wasn't much point in him sticking around to sit in the stinking lockeroom.
I ran a brush quickly through my hair, it was still too wet to tie back so she I decided to sift through my bag, grabbing my beanie hat and nestled it over my now curly hair. I pulled on her oversized zipper and headed out to my car, it wasn't anything fancy, an old ford escort. Not that I could afford anything fancier. With the adreneline wearing off as I went to throught my bag into my boot my back seized up in pain, I couldn't help but let out a whimper as I leaned back up against the boot. "You alright?" Once again the voice was instantly recognisable.
"I'm fine, just adreneline wearing off." I looked up and saw him smile when he saw beneath the hat and baggy sweater it was me.
"Jamie, you make a habit of hurting yourself?" He laughed helping me up and closing the car boot.
"I thought you'd be gone by now." I attempted to pull up my hood as the spits of rain bagan to fall, only for another shot of pain to run up my spine.
"Here let me." Adam pulled my hood up and helped tuck my hair underneath it. "There's no way I could've made it up to Aberdeen in time for the show so I was told just to stay put, maybe head down to Edinburgh for tomorrows show."
I stood nodding as he spoke, "I'm just heading back home to Glasgow. I've got tickets for your show there on friday." He smiled as I mentioned that. "I'm going with my sister. Abbie."
"I'll see you there then." He reached into his pocket pulling out a small bit of card. "Here's my number, give me a call and we you can show me where's good to get a drink in Glasgow." I smirked as he placed the card tightly into my hand.
"Definetly." I watched him walk away to his rental car, this had to be the best day of my life so far. He was so sweet and genuine, they had only spoken briefly but she knew she was going to make the most of friday.
I walked through the busy terminal, not sure where to go. I had been to America many times before, but never alone. I never knew airports could be so damn confusing. So many signs, so many people. I made my way through the crowd trailing my luggage behind me. I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw his smile. I was loving Baltimore already.
