I lay in bed thinking about what had happened. I don't think it would be right to say that I was calm, but I wasn't freaking out like I had been. I reached for my ipod on the night stand next to me. I like a lot of different music, but for this occasion some quiet classical music would help to calm my nerves a bit. The music provided a distraction and started to lull me to sleep. I was starting to worry about Kelly though, usually she would have came by my room and we would talk a bit before retiring for the night.
I decided that, before I went to bed I would make sure she was OK especially after our match tonight. Maybe I had hurt her a bit more than I had thought. I really hoped not. In the hotel room there was a door that lead to the room next to it, which was Kelly's room. There were two doors, one on my side and one on hers. To get through the doors both must be unlocked.
I knocked on the door as hard as I could. After a little less than a minute the door on her side opend. "Hey, how you holding up?" I asked her. She look confused, unsure of what I was talking about. "The match I mean, I really hope I didn't hurt you to bad."
"No, you didn't. Don't worry about it." We came into my room and flopped on my bed. "What you should be worrying about is Kane. Any idea what's going on there? Why he came out and did what he did?"
"I really have no idea at all. I have never even talked to him before. None of this makes any sense at all. I've been playing it over in my head, and I really don't know what to think about it all."
"What do you mean you don't know what to think about it? You should be scared and disgusted. You should hate him!"
"I do, I do, but there's something else. I just don't know what it is... I've been trying to figure it out, but I just can't. What happened last night was probably one of the worst things that has ever happened to me, and I would go back and change it if I could. The reality is that I can't change any of it. I just feel like there's something else to the way he's acting, other than him just being an evil bastard."
"What do you mean theres something else? Like what?"
"Like I said, I don't know what exactly it. It's almost like he is trying to be something other than what he is. Maybe something good."
The incredulous look on her face told me that she thought I was absolutely nuts. She rolled her eyes before she spoke. "Or your just to nice of a person Star, you try so hard to see the good in people even when there isn't anything good in them."
"No, your wrong Kelly there's good in everyone you just have to find it."
"Star, you really don't know what your talking about with him. He is a cruel person and he doesn't care about anything but what he wants. You have got to trust me on this one."
"I know that you hate him, especially after what he did to you, but you have to let me find out some of these things for myself. If I feel like I'm in any real danger I'll get away. I'm not stupid, please don't treat me as if I was."
She let out and exasperated sigh. "Alright, I trust your judgement. Just please keep me informed on whats going on. I hate feeling out of the loop with things. Be careful, OK? I worry about you sometimes. You are definitely not the biggest person in the business."
I definitely couldn't argue with her on that one. I stood at only a little over 5'2", but I was good at what I did and it seemed a bit ironic that she worried about me when I had just beaten her today. I did understand what she meant though, if someone, like Kane, where to come after me I would be pretty much helpless. "Please don't worry about me I'll be OK, but thanks anyway. It nice to have someone worry about you even when you aren't worrying yourself." We couldn't help but laugh a little. Today had just been way to serious for the both of us. "I promise to keep you up to date with all of this and to be careful."
"Good! So...." She got this mischievous look.
Oh no this couldn't be going anywhere good. "So what?"
"I wanna know what you think of him. No lying I want the absolute truth."
I rolled my eyes of course she would want to know this, but I wasn't sure if I really wanted to tell her. I decided that I might as well, there was no use in keeping it from her because she would find out eventually anyway. "Well he definitely isn't what you would call gorgeous, but it just seems like something you could get over. The personality though scares me very much. Like I said earlier though, there seems like there's something else in him that's trying to get out. Remember back when he was married to Lita?" She nodded yes, seeming engrossed in what I actually thought. "When they actually were happy together, or at least seemed to be, he actually seemed really sweet. That's the part that you could actually learn to love with time."
"Ok, but you still didn't tell me what YOU think of him."
I rolled my eyes. she couldn't make this easy could she. "I think that I could learn to like him, but not as he is now. Right now he just scares the crap out of me. He isn't to bad body wise though." I blushed as I said it.
"Ha! I knew it! You got the hots for his bod."
Oh my god. I wonder how I kept my sanity around this girl. "OK! I think it is time for us to go to bed. Out! We need our beauty rest. We'll grab lunch tomorrow before we have to leave later tomorrow night."
She got up from my bed and made her way to the double door. "Alight well goodnight. Oh and one more thing could you keep your door unlocked so I can borrow your straightener in the morning? Mine died om me this morning and just won't work."
"Sure no problem. Wake me up if i sleep in too late, please."
"Of course I will. I just know how much you love to sleep in and how bad it can be sometimes" She smiled smugle at past memories.
"Shut up, ya jerk!" I couldn't help but laugh. "Well, goodnight."
She closed the door behind her, and I was alone in my room. I was a lot calmer now and was actually much more tired than I had been earlier. I got ready for bed and fell asleep much faster than I would have earlier.
