Chapter 2- The Talk With An Animal
Candice sat there on the bench, staring out at the world. She kept looking down at her phone, reading where it said 4 missed calls. She decided to see who they were from although she had a feeling she knew they were from Matt. To her surprise only two were from Matt, one from Jeff, and one from Paige. She decided to call Paige and Jeff's house to let them know she was alright. The phone only rang once before there was an answer.
"Candi where the heck are you?!" Jeff asked her.
"Sitting on a bench in town." she replied.
"You know that's dangerous, cause it's like almost 1 o'clock in the morning."
"I know that Jeff. I honestly don't care anymore."
He paused for a second. It then hit him that they had another fight.
"Ya'll had another fight didn't you?" Jeff asked. "Do you want.."
"Nope." Candice said cutting him off. "Look Jeff I'm fine, I'll head back to the hotel right now."
"Candice, why don't you come cack to Cameron and take a break." Jeff suggested.
"This is exactly what me and Matt are fighting about. My career just took off. There's no time for breaks."
"Well what about when the baby is born?"
"Of course I'll be there for that."
"Alright. Well I'm not about to start arguing with you, so get back to your hotel, get some rest, and I'll talk to you later."
"Ok bye."
"Love you."
"Love you too. Tell Paige I said hi and love her too. Oh and ask if she could send some pics."
"Will do, talk to you later Candi."
After they hung up a man walked up to her.
"Candice Walker right?" the guy asked.
She looked up and noticed the man right away. "Hey Dave!" she said standing up to give him a hug.
"How are you? You look great!" he said as they both sat back down.
"I am doing great! Well career wise. Not so great relationship wise."
"You and Matt having problems?" he asked.
"Well, he thinks I am wearing myself out, but I'm not. He keeps insisting I take a break before I send myself into overdrive."
"Oh I see. But you know he's right. You have to know when to take it easy. When I first started wrestling, all of it was so overwhelming. I trained day and night, not eating properly, not sleeping as much as I needed to. Before I knew it I was in the hospital because of it."
"Well your case is different, you were wrestling, all I'm doing is singing."
"Singing can take a lot out of you. Not that I sing or anything." He said laughing a little.
Candice sat there for a minute. "I can't believe I told him he wasn't being supportive. There were so many people telling me not to do it because I wouldn't make it, but Matt was always in my corner cheering me on."
"Maybe it's time you tag out." the animal said to her.
"Huh?" she asked.
"I don't know, it sounded good when I said it in my head." he said laughing.
Candice couldn't help but laugh too.
"I guess what I'm saying is, don't be afraid to tag your partner in so you can rest a little." he said seriously.
"I get it now." she said smiling.
"Thank you, cause I'm not sure I would've been able to re-explain it." he joked.
"Well Dave Batista, I think I'm gonna head to my hotel and call Matt."
"Good. I'm glad I did my good deed for the day."
"See you around. Hope you get to feelin better so you can get back to your wrestling."
"Nah I'm in no hurry. When Orton punted my head, that's when I tagged out. So right now I'm resting."
Candice laughed. "Your funny."
"I know." he smirked. "But don't get me wrong, this animal is getting ready to tag back in. And when he does... the animal will be released."
Candice laughed again. "I got to go. Thanks Dave."
"No problem kid."
When Candice got back to her hotel room she dialed Matt's number. When a woman answered, her heart sank into the pit of her stomach. She felt like she was going to get sick.
