A/N: I do not own any characters except for Lilly and Aaron. Everything is owned by WWE and Vince McMahon. If I owned these characters I would be rich, but obviously I'm not rich and I don't own them. I do not own any places either.

Chapter 2.

That was two weeks ago. I've done my best to stay away from him -and I've done pretty damn well but there's always those times when I have to be near him. Like when I'm talking to Hunter, or Ric Flair, or Shawn Michaels, but mostly Hunter. He just walks up, speaks to Hunter, ignores me -even though I know I know he knows I'm there- turns and fixes his eyes on me and says "Oh, hi Lilly. I need to talk to (he quotes) 'Hunter'" Me, I'm just like "Yeah, sure, whatever. Bye, Paul. Bye, What's your name again?" And I walked away. This was the longest conversation, other times I'd seen him and that's it.

As I'm thinking of this I hear the door close behind me.

"Lilly, I need to talk to you," said the voice. "Lilly," it said, starting to shake me.

After a minute I started to come out of my daze. I turned my head to face the voice. "Oh, hi Ashley. What's up?" I spoke, trying to figure out where I was. Hmm. I thought Oh; I'm in my hotel room. I look around the room. The T.V is on, but no sound. The remote is in my hand. I must have been thinking for a while and not moving. Well, duh! I think. I lay back on the bed.

"I want to know what happened. Why are you so distant all of a sudden?" she spoke, questioning my earlier acts of ignoring all her questions, and me walking away whenever possible. But, I couldn't now; I was trapped.

The only person I told was Hunter and made him promise not to tell anyone. So, I might as well tell her. And I did.

"And then he wiped his thumb across my cheekbone. I realized later that I was crying. That's all that happened, Ash," I said. And now he's all I can think about I thought.

"Ooh, someone's got a crush...!" she said, interrupting my thoughts.

"What?" I said, wondering if I said that aloud.

"You just said that he's all you can think about," she said. Crap I thought I did say it out loud.

"What I meant was that I don't understand why he did it? And why his face was completely pained. It was weird. I mean I understand that wipe-across-my-cheekbone. But I have NEVER seen that look on his face before and because of a girl too," I declared, thinking out loud.

"I don't either. Maybe he wants to have you in bed? The next notch on his belt?" she said teasingly.

"Shut up! He probably does though...I'm just gonna forget like it happened from now though,"

"Okay, do you want to be alone?"

"Sure," And off she went.

Later that night, I'm sitting in the women's locker room waiting for my match with Ashley against Candice -and who knew- Melina. Why her and not Torrie, I have no idea. I don't even know why they're bringing my relationship with Melina into this, or how they even knew we used to be best friends.

Knock knock.There's a knock at the door.

"Lilly, it's time," I hear Ashley say.

"Okay, " I walk outside, "Why didn't you just come inside?"

"I'm saving energy. Now let's go!"

"Okay, Ash!"

We walk to the waiting area. Are music is going to hit soon. Out of the corner of my eye I see Randy walk past. He's with a girl and they're talking. I watch him as he checks me out; slowly I tilt my head to the side and raise an eyebrow as if to say You're checking me out, yet you're with another girl? He nods smiles and moves on. I shake my head.

"Lilly? What's up?" Ashley asks.

"Hmm.? Oh, nothing Just thinking about our match." I reply, smiling.

"Okay."

Our cue to get ready hits. One minute later our music is on. I hear the crowd cheer. We walk out into the light.

20 minutes later, I'm back in the locker room showered and dressed; waiting for Ashley to get out of the shower. We had a tough match, but this time we lost. Fists were thrown, kicks were kicked and at one point a chair was involved. Well, kind of. Melina brought a chair into the ring, and then Ashley took it out. As I watched Ashley take the chair out of the ring, Melina knocked me out temporarily with her finisher the California Dream, then pinning me for the win.

There's a knock at the door.

"Who is it?" I say. No answer. The knock comes again. I go and open the door. "Oh my god. Bring in the cameras!"

"Ha. This is for you," Melina says. I know I'm surprised too.

"Um, why?" I ask. I'm quite concerned, like she's forgotten everything that's happened between us... Like she's got amnesia, "What made you invite me, after everything that's happened?"

"Well, someone wanted me to invite you. I don't know why, but they did. Plus, the whole WWE is going to be there, so I figured I'd invite everyone," she answers.

"Who would that be?"

"Um... he told me not to tell you,"

"We used to be best friends, you can tell me,"

She laughs "Fine. It's Randy. He made me invite you,"

My mouth drops open, "I'm not going," I say quickly.

"Okay. Do you mind if I ask why?"

"It's not because of you, if that's what you're asking," I hear noise behind me.

"Holy shit," Ashley says.

"Um, I gotta go," I say, then walk into the room Ashley just exited. I lock the door behind me once I close it. Outside, I hear voices speaking, and then silence. A door shuts and then footsteps walk towards the bathroom door.

"Lilly? Are you okay?" Ashley asks. She tries to open the door, but it's locked. She knocks, "Lilly answer me, please,"

"What, Ash? And I'm fine,"

"Okay, good. What's wrong?" she asks, "Please come out and talk to me," I think about it for a minute, then walk to the door and open it. I walk over to one of the chairs and sit down.

"Well, Melina invited me to her party and I don't know if I want to go," I lie.

"Oh. You should go," she says, "Everyone else is and then you don't even have to talk to her. I promise that we will make sure you don't have to talk to her,"

"Okay. I'll think about it. But Ash? The weird thing was that when we were talking it seemed for an instant that we were best friends again, like old times," I say, "But then you came into the room..."

"Yeah, sorry about that. I was just surprised, I guess," We hear the door open and we immediately stop talking. Candice and Torrie walk through the door. We say hi and goodbye, then grab our bags and go find Matt. Then we leave and go back to the hotel. As soon as I walk into the hotel room, I put down my bags and walk over to the bed. I lay down and fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow.

The next morning I walk through the door between my room and Ashley and Matt's room. It's unlocked, and thank God they aren't doing anything. I throw a pillow at them. Slowly, they stir in their sleep. Matt gets up first.

"Hmm.. What time is it? Lilly? What time?" he asks.

"It's 11:00, Matt. I'd get up now, or you guys won't ever get up today," I smile, "They have pancakes and fruit punch downstairs for breakfast,"

"WHAT? WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME?" I close my eyes as he gets out of bed, fearing what I might see. Matt tells Ashley to wake up, and they quickly get dressed. He tells us to go now, before we miss out on breakfast. Once we get downstairs and settled Ashley starts to talk.

"So, have you decided whether you're coming on Friday, Lil?" she asks.

"No, Ash, I fell asleep right away. I was passed out until a while ago, so I had no time to think,"

"Okay, but you know I'm going to keep bugging you until you say yes, right?"

"I know," I smile and she smiles back. Best friends forever. We sit in silence for a few minutes before Steph and Hunter walk up. They sit down and immediately Steph asks me what happened last night.

"What do you mean?" I ask, wondering what she means.

"Well, I heard that you and Melina are friends again. Are you?"

"No. She just invited me to her party. Who told you that?"

"Who told me? Randy did. He must have seen you two talking and laughing- you were laughing right?" I nod in response, "Okay. Yeah, he came up to me and said that I might have competition because you and Melina are friends again,"

"Oh, great. He's spreading rumors about me now? What's next telling people that-" I stop, "Nevermind," Randy walks by our table. As he does he winks at me and then smiles. I hope no one saw that. I guess I was wrong because Matt reaches out his hand and grabs Randy's arm. He turns him around and drags him over here in one swift move.

"Say what you have to say, Lilly" Matt says.

"What do you mean, Matt?"

"Tell him what you have to say about everything,"

"What? Have you had too much fruit punch?" I ask him, sneaking a peek at Randy in the process. Like everyone else, his head is bobbing back and forth between us.

"NO! I had one glass! ONE GLASS! Okay, so I had two," he admits.

"MATT! You know what happens when you have more than one glass!" I tell him.

"So? Now tell him what you want to say,"

"What ever do you mean?" I say, pretending not to know what he means.

"Don't play stupid, Lilly. You know what I mean. I can see it in your eyes. You want him to apologize for spreading rumors about you and Melina being friends again,"

"I can do that on my own time, Matt. I'm not stupid,"

"When would that be?"

"My arm is hurting really badly!" Randy cuts in.

"Oh, sorry," Matt replies, loosening the pressure, but not letting go.

"Matt, it's fine. I don't care," I say.

"You sure?"

I nod, "I can understand where he's coming from. I mean, it's not everyday you see Melina and I talking," I reply. Even though I'd like to say that I know that Randy thought that we'd be friends by now, because he set the whole thing up, I don't. I don't need them knowing that. At least not right now.

"I'm still sorry," Randy says.

"It's fine. Trust me," I say, "That day was the hardest one ever. That day, something that shouldn't have come between us, did. It was an issue where we were too powerless against it, and in the end I lost a diamond while I picked up stones. But the thing that sucks the most is when people you know become people you knew; when you can walk right past someone as if they were never a huge part of your life. You used to be able to talk for hours on the phone & now you can't even look them in the damn eye. It completely breaks your heart to know good things change; and there's nothing you can do," I feel tears well up inside me, so I get up from my chair. Matt has long since let go of Randy's arm, and he tries to stop me from walking away. Randy's hand brushes mine as he tries to stop me and a jolt of electricity shoots up my arm. But I still just walk right past him into the empty elevator. He calls my name, but the doors close, and the tears pour down my cheeks.
