Part Two is now here. I've decided that I really like Marnie... Though I tell you now, I have almost no clue where I'm going with this. I think I have an ending in mind, but we'll see how it goes from here... Legalities! Only Marnie is mine. The rest are the WWE, TNA, and their own.
Holding the hand in hers tightly, Marnie carefully weaved her way through the violently moshing crowd. The two were headed toward what was usually a bar to sit and regain their breathing.
The crowd's movement slowed as the two got to the counter. Marnie sat on one of the stools, letting out a breath of relief. Phil ordered two Pepsi's, handing one to the girl, and paid for them both. She nodded in appreciation, popping the can open, and took a long sip. Putting the can down, she smiled. "Thanks, Phil."
The man nodded and took a sip of his own before placing it on the counter near hers. It was then that the two realized their hands were still intertwined. He grinned, leaning a bit closer to her. "I'm really glad you came tonight, Marnie."
"Me too." She looked down, blushing lightly, before her green eyes raised to meet his.
Phil smiled wider and closed the small distance between them. Their lips pressed together lightly as the lilting melody of Creed's "Hide" came to a peak.
Pecking Phil lightly on the lips, Marnie turned the doornob and entered the Martin household. She waved at Mr. and Mrs. Martin kindly before ascending to Alex's room yet again.
The door was already open for her when she got there. The raven walked in and sat on the edge of Alex's bed, causing the man to look up from the book he'd been reading. She chuckled. "Still reading about Sting, huh?"
He nodded. "How was the show?"
The girl felt a small blush crawl up her cheeks. "It was really good. Creed was fantastic, Killwitch was godly, and Rise Against was their usual moshly goodness."
The blond shook his head, laughing a little. "You know I didn't mean just the music, girlie. How was it being out with Phil?"
Marnie's smile widened. "Well... He kissed me."
"Oh?" Alex asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah." The raven laid back against the bed, putting her arms out beside her. "God, it was great. He's so sweet, he paid for my drinks all night, got me a new Creed shirt which is currently in my pocket... And he officially asked me out like two minutes ago.
Letting the words wash over him, he closed his book. He sighed, painting a smile on his face. "Good. I'm glad for you, Marnie. You deserve this."
She let out a deep breath, letting her eyes slide shut. "Thanks, 'Lex." The girl turned her head in his direction, opening her eyes. "We need to get you a girl."
He laughed. "Please. I have a girl in mind."
Marnie propped her head up on her arm. "So go for her."
"It's not that easy, Marnie. She's got a guy now."
"Oh..." The raven nodded closing her eyes again. "Well, don't give up on her. You gotta fight for someone you really like."
Alex smiled, laying back next to her with a sigh. "Okay. I'll keep fighting."
Marnie woke up early the next morning. She turned over in the arms of her friend, sighing at the boy's placid expression. Everytime she and her mother fought, Marnie would spend the night with Alex, usually falling asleep in his arms. Shaking her head, the raven pecked him on the cheek and untangled herself from him, pushing a hand through her hair.
The girl packed her bag quickly and left a note on the pillow next to him, saying she'd be back later on, depending on her mother.
Marnie crossed the street to her home and dropped her backpack in her bedroom before returning to the front to wait for her father. The man came out, and both got into the car.
The raven worked as an engineering assistant in Asren Videos, where her father was the head of the technological engineering staff. The drive was a little over an hour, but it was worth driving the distance to be able to actually talk.
As they passed the ten minute mark, Marnie let out a sigh. "I hate fighting with her."
Her father, Sean, nodded. "I know. She just doesn't understand you, Marn. She doesn't get why you'd give up being a lawyer to wrestle, or to do music, or anything else for that matter."
"But I love it, Daddy. I can't just give it up." The raven ran a hand through her hair before remembering to pull it up into a high ponytail. "I hate this."
"I know. Just keep going with it. She won't like anything you do, hun." He switched lanes, as well as the radio station, before speaking again. "When's the talent scout coming up again?"
"Two weeks, on October 15th. Two days before Edge Day, and Edgefest, for that matter."
Sean thought for a moment. "Good. I'll be there."
Alex ran to the gym upon waking up. Turning down the iPod on his arm, he opened the door and went immediately over to the weight rack. The blond stretched for a few minutes before starting off on 50 pound weights.
He looked up about twenty minutes later to see Phil standing across from him, lifting the same weights he was. Alex nodded at the man, who nodded back, and pulled his headphones out. "I hear the show was good last night."
Phil smiled. "It was great, man. Marnie's one heck of a girl."
Holding back a scowl, he nodded. "I know. Just... be careful for her, okay? Don't hurt her. I'd have to come after you if you hurt her."
The other man laughed, a deep dark laugh. "Don't worry about her, Martin. I'll take good care of her." He did a few more curls on his right arm. "Besides. Like you could hurt me if you tried."
Oh dear, more drama. When is there not drama, right? Heheh. So! Reviews please! They make me happy!
