When The Day Turns Into Night Chapter One

The phone rang at four in the morning and roused Robbyn Moore from an uneasy sleep full of loud noises and bright lights. She groped in the darkness for the phone, and picked it up on it's sixth ring.

"Hmmmmm." was the only greeting she could muster.

"Sorry, I know it's early."

"If it was anyone else I'd kill them." Robbyn said truthfully opening her eyes.

"I know. I wanted to talk to you."

"About?"

"Anything. I miss you."

Despite her state of tirdness, she smiled and rubbed her nose. She had to hand it to Zach, only her could make her believe there was a valid reason for calling her so early, even if it was a sappy one at that. The two month's they'd been together seemed to have flashed by quickly, and on the surface things couldn't be going better.

"How's England?" she asked, only now noticing a hard scab under her nose.

"It's.....England. There's no other way to describe it. I haven't had much time to see the sights though, we've been travelling from one town to another. I messed up one of my spots last night, but Stephanie was cool about it."

Robbyn frowned at the mention of her name. Stephanie McMahon, although now a married women, was still an ever present dark spot of Robbyn's horizion. She'd been backstage at the shows three times in two months, and all those time's her and Stephanie had gotten into a verbal cat fight, she still wanted Zach.

"How has work been?"

"The usual. Boring. I wasn't in today, I had a headache."

"Maybe you should go the doctors."

"No, it's just stress, and by stress I mean Gina. Her latest squeeze has ditched her again."

Zach laughed, this was Gina's seventh boyfriend in two months. "I wouldn't worry, she'll have someone new by Tuesday. Anyway, I let you go to sleep. I'll see you when I get back."

"Ok, sure."

Then came the pause, the uncomftorble pause, one that had taken residence at the end of all their conversations of late. The time when other couple's would say 'I love you', they hadn't yet.

"Bye."

He hung up and so did Robbyn. She lay back on the pillows and sighed loudly. Her mind was racing and it wasn't a good feeling so early in the morning after so little sleep. She hated thinking about feelings, feelings could be confused and that's what she was, confused. Love was a horrible thing in her view. to love you had to let your guard down and that meant running the risk of getting hurt. She wasn't even sure if she loved Zach, or how he felt about her. He made her feel warm inside, but then he could make her feel like she didn't mean enough. She shouldn't have to think about this, not now. Not at four in the morning. But she couldn't help it. She remembered the last time she saw Stephanie, how she'd stood in front of Robbyn more like her television persona then a real person. How she'd smiled and said:

"He's only human, and all human's have their weaknesses. You'll see."

What she needed was a drink of water, Robbyn turned the bedside lamp on and rubbed her temple before streching out. She could already feel another headache creeping up on her. Something on her pillow case caught her eye, dried blood. Her nose, the scab.

"Ugh." she moaned reailsing her nose had bleed in her sleep. "Disgusting."

It was the last thing wanted to deal with. In a fit of laziness Robbyn turned the pillow over, switched off the light and closed her eyes.
