Chapter 1: "This Blood Runs Fuckin' Deep"

Jolene Milford's POV

"When the fuck are they going to be back? It's been what, an hour and a half? How long does it take to get some fuckin' booze?" I look up at Kev as he speaks, obviously a bit frustrated with the fact that Scott and Kid aren't back yet. I don't blame him.

At least we didn't have to work tonight, right?

When we got to the hotel a couple of hours ago, Scott and Kid offered to go stock up on supplies for the next few days: booze, snacks, the usual stuff, you know? Kev and I stayed here and, as usual, we ended up having sex. We just finished the second round of it, actually.

"They probably found a couple of chicks who'd let them get their dicks wet." I shrug before sitting up and motioning over to the nightstand beside of Kev. "Smokes, please."

Kev hands me my cigarettes and my lighter as he laughs, sending me a grin. "I wouldn't fuckin' doubt it. But they could've just brought them back here or fucked 'em after they dropped off the drinks."

"You're right." I giggle as I pop one of the cigarettes into my mouth and light it up. "Surely they'll be back before too much longer." I mutter as I grab a nearly empty water bottle from beside of the bed to flick my ashes into.

"I hope so."

Kev gets out of bed and picks up the boxers and Outsiders tee that he'd been wearing earlier, as well as a pair of shorts for both of us. After he slips on his boxers and shorts, he tosses the shirt and the other pair of shorts to me; I catch them with my hand that isn't holding my cigarette and sit them beside of me.

As I watch Kev walk over to the window and peak out of it, I find myself reminded more and more of how grateful I am that he's back in WCW. He and Scott have been back for, what, about five months now? It's so nice, it really is.

I missed them. I missed them a lot. After all, Scott was gone for about four years and Kev was gone roughly three. I mean, yes, we all did hang out some while they were in the WWF. Hell, on one instance I was even able to meet Shawn Michaels and Hunter Hearst Helmsley! I met Kid that night, too. There's just a large difference between being able to see your friends on a regular basis and mainly having to communicate with them via phone call because their schedule is hectic.

Once I finish my cigarette, I put it out in the water bottle that I'd been using. I slide on Kev's shirt and my shorts before grabbing my cigarettes and lighter and standing up. After dropping my smoking materials on the desk, I take a seat in the chair that was pushed under it.

"I say we give 'em thirty minutes. If they're not back by then-"

"Hey guys! We're back! We got the good shit, too!"

Kev is interrupted by Kid's enthusiastic greeting. He and Scott come waltzing into the room with bags upon bags of booze, snacks, and god-knows-what else. They sit half of the bags on the desk and half of them in the floor beside of it.

"How many times did you two bang while we were gone?" Scott asks as he snags a beer and sends both Kev and I a grin. "Three? Four?"

"Just a couple." I reply with a grin of my own. "How many times did you two get laid?"

"Ah, once or twice." Kid laughs as he digs into a few of the bags. "Here you go, Joli." He mutters as he hands me a couple of packs of cigarettes. I jokingly blow him a kiss and he laughs even more. Kid then grabs a couple of bottles and hands one to me and one to Kev, who is now sitting on the edge of our bed and facing towards Scott.

"Thanks, Kid. So, what do you guys want to get into tonight? We've probably got all the sex out of our systems for now." Kev looks around at all of us as he grins.

"I can't think of anything in particular I'd like to do. What about you guys?" I reply with a shrug as I pop the top off of my drink.

"What time have we got to go do shit tomorrow?" Kid asks as he opens his beer. "It's not early, right?"

"Not early at all. So really, we can do whatever the fuck we want tonight." Scott replies with a grin.

Kid takes a long drink before jumping onto his side of their bed and laughing. "Then why don't we just get wasted? We'll be fine by tomorrow, right?"

"We always are." I giggle.

"Bottoms fuckin' up." Kev raises his bottle as he smirks. We all mutter some sort of cheer before raising our drinks up as well.

We begin drinking and before I know it, I'm on Scott and Kid's bed on my knees, leaning over Kid's shoulder with my arms around his neck. Scott and Kev are standing between the two beds, leaning against each other and telling us the coolest story of all.

"... you remember that, don't you, Kid? When Shawn nearly got knocked out by that damn tree?" Kev laughs as he talks.

"Shit man, yeah! He went to pick the damn thing up and when he did, the other one that was like, perched against it, nearly crushed him!" Kid turns to look between Scott, Kev, and myself as he speaks excitedly.

"I swear, Joli, it was wild. After Shawn gets out of the way and the tree breaks beside of him, Paul hauls his ass out of the car and helps him move it. Keep in mind, it's like, what, two in the morning? We're on this tiny road and there's not any sort of light aside from our headlights for miles." Scott pauses for a moment as he thinks before patting Kev's shoulder once he realizes what he wanted to say. "And then there was that fuckin' owl!"

"Owl?" I question as I grip onto Kid's shirt. This is intense. Kev nods with a smirk before replying.

"Oh yeah. Paul and Shawn move the trees and as they go to get back in the car, this owl comes flying in from no where and smacks Paul in the side of the head. Paul gets knocked into Shawn, Shawn gets knocked into the car, and the car gets this big dent in the door." Kev then laughs and points at Kid with his drink. "And what did you do, Kid?"

"I jumped out of my damn seat!" Kid pats the bed beside of him as I hang onto his every word. "It was my door he fuckin' slammed into! I was half asleep, then it was like, bam! There's Shawn! I almost punched my damn window out."

"I missed all of the fun shit, didn't I? Wow." I slump back on the bed and scoot over to where I'm leaning against the headrest before crossing my legs. "Were things always that crazy while you guys were in the WWF?"

"Most of the time. We got into so much shit with Paul and Shawn." Scott laughs before taking a long drink. "But it's super nice to be back here, you know? We have our fun."

"Hell yeah we do." Kev sits his drink down on the nightstand before walking over and lifting me off of Scott and Kid's bed and gently slamming me onto ours. I can't help but giggle as the quick motion sweeps a wave of air over me and knocks the shirt of his that I'm wearing up some.

"Joli boobs!" Kid cheers with a loud laugh as Scott sits down beside of him, knocking him on the head jokingly. "What? I've never seen 'em before!"

"I can't guarantee it'll be the last time." I giggle as I roll over to my side of the bed and burrow under the sheets. "Shit happens."

"Hey, whatever man. I don't care. It's not like we're bangin'." Kid grabs another bottle from the floor beside of the bed and cracks it open. "We've all pretty much seen each other naked before! I mean, I don't think you've seen me naked, Joli, but that's whatever."

I shrug and pull the sheets up over my shoulder while I turn on my side, facing the guys. Kev has moved to sit at the foot on our bed, on his side.

"If I can't be comfortable with you three, who can I be comfortable with?" I smile, looking around and my three friends.

"We'll always be here for each other. This blood runs fuckin' deep." Scott grins and throws up a too sweet. He then nudges Kid to do the same, and within seconds, we're all four holding a hand in the air and doing their famous gesture. Kev and I too sweet one another while Scott and Kid do the same.

"That's what this all about. Friends, money, booze, and kickin' some ass in the ring." Kev states with a smile as he grabs his drink off of the nightstand. "You want another, babe?"

"Nah." I reply, watching as he takes another drink.

"You sure?" Kev asks over his shoulder. I hesitate for a moment, licking my lips as I weigh my options.

I've probably had too much to drink at this point, so my hangover tomorrow is going to be a bitch. But then again, we really don't have to be out that early...

"... Oh, hell. Give me one."

Kev laughs as he grabs me a bottle and opens it up, muttering with obvious amusement, "That's what I thought," as he passes it to me.

"Thank you Kev." I reply with a content sigh as I sit back up and press the welcoming bottle to my lips.

This is the good shit.

As I continue to drink and listen to my favorite people talk, I can't help but smile. My life is fuckin' great.
