The drive from Virginia Tech in Richmond to DC wasn't that bad, ok I stand corrected. It was horrible! I swear Virginian's need to learn how to drive and stay off my ass! I had a terrible temper as it was, but the traffic out of Richmond wasn't helping my road rage one bit.
I had Dave and Randy just ahead of me in Dave's Escalade pulling the small U-Haul. 'Now isn't that an odd sight?' I asked myself thinking how funny Dave's massive Escalade looked pulling the trailer. As I was laughing to myself the familiar ringtone of Parkway Drive went off. I quickly grabbed my phone and opened it not bothering to check the caller id.
"Hey B!" I greeted excitedly.
"Hey girl!" She answered. "How was graduation? I'm so sorry I missed it, but apparently the office just couldn't function without me today." She sighed.
"It's perfectly fine. But you'll never guess what?" I paused. "Dave showed up!" I squealed. She knew how important it was to me for my brother to be there and all the numerous times he had let me down.
"Wow, the big buffoon actually showed up? I'm in shock! So are you still in Richmond?" She asked me curiously.
"Yeah, about that." I started. "I'm moving to DC with Dave, and I'm going to start touring with him. It kind of came out of the blue, but he says he wants to make up for lost time, and who knows I might just land a job out of this."
"That's amazing!" She said. She took it a lot better than what I thought she would. "And DC isn't that far from me, what 3 hours? We'll just have to chill when you get back, 'cause we all know I'll still be here." She said sarcastically. "Just don't forget about your friends that are miserably stuck here at Ft. Lee."
"You know I won't, but I'm driving, can I call you back?" I asked.
"Anytime, you know my cell is always on." She laughed. We said our goodbyes and hung up. I sighed. I was definitely going to miss her, and I had to make sure the next time the WWE was in Virginia to get her some tickets, I know how they just love to have military on the show. Did I forget to mention that my best friend was in the Army? I had met her through my friend Stephen, who she was dating at the time, at a Parkway Drive concert, and we instantly bonded. We had been through thick and thin, and even her and Stephen's break up. She was really down to earth and that's one of the reasons why we got along so well. Kristina was one of the few people that I knew that didn't try to use me to meet my brother, even though on Monday nights we would watch RAW and she would just go completely crazy over Cena. Hey, now there's a thought, maybe I could get those two together. I laughed at the thought of that, they would be cute, and I could see it now.
Before I knew it, we were pulling into the driveway of Dave's 2 story house. He had a beautiful white Victorian house with a wrap-around porch and a massive yard. I looked around and noticed that the closest neighbors we had were about a mile away on either side of us. Figures, Dave would want his privacy, and who could blame him. I pulled my car up next to his and shut off the engine. I hesitated before getting out of the car, 'Boy, this is overwhelming' I thought to myself. I got out the car and met up with Dave and Randy on the porch.
"Welcome to your new home sis." Dave said as he unlocked the door. "And be careful of the dogs." He smiled as he opened the door. My breath was taken away as I opened the door. This place was huge! The entrance way had an oak floor and led right into the living room where he had a massive flat screen hanging on the wall along with surround sound. To the left of that was his entertainment center complete with stereo, Xbox 360, Play station 3, and every cd imaginable. To the right of the TV was a fireplace and on the mantle he had many picture of his family and friends, including my favorite one of me and him on my 19th birthday, when we were in the pool and he was tossing me over his shoulder. I stared at the picture a few more minutes when I noticed someone was behind me.
"That was a fun day." Dave commented.
"Had some of my favorite memories from that day." I sighed looking at the picture one last time.
"Let's go to your room." He said grabbing my arm and leading me over to the staircase leading to the second floor. "My room is to the left." He said once we were at the top of the stairs. "And over this way is your room." He said going right. "Now I've left everything alone, I figured you would want to decorate everything yourself, but we have the basics, a bed, dresser, nightstand, lamp, and I put a desk in here. Mom bought the sheets and everything for you bed, because I was clueless." He laughed opening the door. I walked into the room and was in complete shock.
"Dave, think you went a little overboard?" I asked taking in my complete surroundings. The room was huge, and with all that Dave bought me, I still had and infinite amount of room.
"Well, I bought everything I thought you would need." He grinned. "But I'm going to go help Randy start bringing in your things." He said exiting the room. I took another look around the room, there was a king sized bed with a black metal canopy, I had a long black and white marble looking dresser complete with a mirror, a small black nightstand to match, the computer desk was also black and more than enough room for my little laptop and printer, and last but not least a 32" plasma screen TV on my wall.
"This is amazing." I said aloud. I noticed 2 doors in my room, one leading to a massive walk in closet, the other leading to a personal bathroom. I felt like I was living in a dream. Eventually I found the things my mother bough for my bed, and it was almost a replica of the things I had back at her house. I had a black comforter and turquoise sheets, with black and blue pillowcases. It fit the bed perfectly and went great with the thin black canopy I had. Slowly as the boys brought up my belongings I unpacked and put everything away. Before I knew it, I had my posters and pictures of friends and family hanging on my walls, my computer and stereo set up on the computer desk and my makeup and toiletries in the bathroom. Satisfied I went downstairs to find that Dave had even more company.
"Hey Kat." He greeted. "Hope you don't mind that I invited a few friends over." He smiled.
"Not a problem bro." I smiled.
"Well, this is John Cena." He pointed over to the Dr. of Thugonomics who was in jean shorts and a black word life hoodie. "And this is Paul, also known as Triple H." He said pointing to the cerebral assassin himself who was in just jeans and a white t-shirt.
"It's a pleasure to meet you guys, I hope to get to know ya'll a little better while we're out on the road." I smiled sweetly and made my way to the kitchen.
"Don't eat anything, we're about to order a pizza!" My brother called after me. I just nodded to myself and looked in the refrigerator for something to drink.
"Let's see, we have beer, water, and um, beer?" I said to myself. Seeing that he didn't have soda, juice or milk of any type I decided on water. Just as I was about to open my bottle of water, my phone went off scaring me. "Christ on a cracker!" I groaned frustrated. "Hey Kristina." I said answering the call.
"So I see you didn't die on your way up." She laughed.
"No, I didn't." I sighed taking a drink of my water.
"What's wrong baby girl?"She asked concerned by the tone in my voice.
"Nothing, it's just really overwhelming. I mean Dave went completely out of his way and set up my room, and I mean out of his way. He got me a king size canopy bed!" I exclaimed, as she whistled. "Not to mention, there's nothing to eat or drink in this house. My choice is either beer or water."
"Beer?" She gagged. "Now that's just nasty!" She laughed. "As for him going out of his way, he just wants you to be happy. Look on the bright side; at least you aren't out on the street, or living with the parentals. It could be worse. You could be living with me!" She continued.
"You do have a point there. Hey John." I greeted as I saw John enter the kitchen. I then pulled the phone away from my ear as I heard my best friend scream. I figured John heard the scream because he looked at me funny. I just shrugged and mouthed 'she's a big Cena fan'. He smiled and shook his head as he left the kitchen. "You done now?" I asked bring my attention back to my obsessed best friend.
"Yeah. Sorry had to get that out. It's been stressful at work, and that just made everything that much better." I could hear the smile in her voice and all I could do was laugh. "Hey now, that's not funny, I can't it that he's gorgeous! And those dimples!"
"Ok stop while you're ahead or I'm going to go out there and tell him exactly what you just said!" I threatened with a smile on my face.
"Oh god, please don't!" She panicked. "I promised if I ever meet him, I won't act like that, this can stay between you and me. But anyways, I gotta go, it's been a long day and it's far from over, I had to bring work home with me. I just wanted to make sure you made it safely and you didn't kill someone on your way there."
"Alright, I'll call you soon and let you know how things are going. Keep me updated on that deployment coming up. I really hope they don't stop loss you. Remember we got plans for when you get out." I said.
"No worries, I got you, and I'll do my damnedest to keep that promise!" We quickly said out goodbyes and I went out to the living room to join my brother and his wrestler friends.
Alright, there was chapter 2. I'm currently working on chapter 3. Please be patient, being in the Army and stuck in Kuwait doesn't give me a lot of time to write, but trust me I'm working on it. In the mean time please let me know what you think so far. And trust me I know, it's going a little slow, but I promise to pick things up in the next few chapters.
