I was suprised how much I missed Sarah throughout the next two weeks, a few hours with someone having that much affect on me was scary. So I called often, of course she didn't really respond but I would tell her about my day, what someone did backstage that she'd find amusing, honestly I could've been talking to one of the nurses or even no one at all but she'd make sounds of acknowledgement. I took what I could get, the doctor sometimes talked with me and remarked on her advancement in therapy and such. He said that she was socializing with some of the other patients and was being kind to a newer girl who got pushed around alot.
Sarah's mother sent me several messages to leave her daughter alone but the doctor said she'd never get a restraining order without Sarah's consent, she was 17 and legally she could refuse to agree to it. But I still worried, he said only if a judge or doctor thought I was a threat to her health then her consent couldn't be overrided, that put me at ease. John Cena frequently visited me back stage, wanting know more about her and I was shocked at how defensive I got, I didn't wanna share my one fan, he had enough of his own why'd he need mine?
I told that to her over Skype, Dr. Marshall had allowed her permission since she was doing so well, and she just smiled and held up a sign, it said Cena but had a huge X over the name and I smirked. She showed me her newest friend, a young pale blone girl who looked ready to bolt out the door. I talked with her for awhile, her name was Cassi and she had been there for a week because of her anorexia, that made me sad but after she left Sarah typed that her friend was a big Ryback fan. The next time I chatted with them I made a point to compliment her hair and nail polish, that seemed to make her happy and Sarah was clapping in the background.
Vicki made a comment about my behavior as the date for Sarah to come approached, she said I was acting nervous, most people backstage didn't know I was bringing the kid on screen. I felt alittle lonely, I didn't really have friends on the road to talk to and it felt nice to talk to Vicki and Brad about it, both were surprisingly excited for her arrival. Turns out Vicki had kids and Brad was just an uber-hyper guy who got excited about everything- Shocking. But they were supportive about it and promised to make her feel welcomed, I couldn't have thanked them more.
I had wanted to fly out to bring her back, but Vince was adament that I stayed and waited, Brad offered to fly with her and I nearly lost it when he got to. Waiting in the airport was the most annoying thing in the world, a couple timid fans came up for an autograph and that was fine, but more fans thought it was a good idea to shout insults and complain to security that I was harrassing them. Of course the gaurds were watching me and knew I hadn't done anything so that just made the rabid fans madded, if possible.
Finally I saw her, she looked exhausted just standing there allowing Brad to carry her back pack, I looked for her mother but was surprised that she wasn't there. Vince told me later than she had refused to partake in anything concerning me, that was fine in my book, I didn't like her anyways. Sarah's dull eyes brighten significantly when she saw me, rushing without running to me as fast as she could, weaving smoothly between bodies.
The urge to pick her up and spin her around crossed my mind but I figured it would only make her uncomfortabel, she threw her arms around my middle and smiled brightly up at me, Brad huffing to keep up with her fast pace. I smiled down at her and patted her lightly on the head, she was wearing my beanie over her short hair. "Did you fly okay?" She nodded quickly. "Brad wasn't too annoying was he?"
"Hey?!" Brad piped up and people turned to look at us, I gave him a bored glare, Sarah laughed and shook her head. I took her bag from the smaller man and threw it over my shoulder. "Don't bother going to baggage claim, she only has the carry on." I shot her a look of disbelief.
"Really? First woman I've ever met that didn't pack everything they owned." She shrugged with a smile.
"Vicki is the worst," Brad grinned. "And she makes me carry it all."
"Hire someone to do it and then never tell her." I offered and Brad laughed, Sarah smiling at us. "Come on, you must be hungry." She nodded and Brad gave me a cheeky grin.
"Well now that you mention it, I wouldn't mind being wined and dined." The smaller man joked and I cuffed him over the head.
"None for you." Sarah started giggling and I noticed someone recording us, I made a face to scare them. "But I guess you can come."
"Kinky," Brad joked and I shoved him, hoping Sarah didn't understand him, her red face told me she did. "Ok, ok! I'll be good, I promise."
"Better be," I growled and began leading the pair away. "I don't feel like explaining all of this to her doctor." Sarah clicked her tongue and shook her head.
A/N So extremely short chapter but I swear it picks up. So I have a confession... I started watching Total Divas... And I liked it. Like I said I word never watch it but I did and now I wanna know what happens next. I think I like it because it is a reality show (though some parts are obviosly staged/planned) they use real names (excluding Fandango) and it shows what they have to go through to entertain us and I respect them and their hard work. I don't like the cattiness that the Bella's just seem to always have but I know it's all for appearances. Anyways I would say give it a try because it certainly is about as real as you get with fake wrestling.
