Chapter 2:
Feelings Remain the Same
Well…it's time for Smackdown to begin. I pulled my keys out of the ignition and took a deep breath. I don't realize how long I was just sitting in my car watching the rain fall down. I spent most of that time thinking. How would people react? What will they say? Think? I slowly opened my car door and stepped out into the pouring rain. I pulled the hood of my jacket over my head and made my way to my trunk to grab my gym bag. I quickly tossed it over my right shoulder and slammed my trunk shut. I looked around at the parking lot which was nearly empty. I had arrived early for a reason, to not get spotted. I made my way across the parking lot to the arena, and stepped inside. I took in the once familiar smell that became no more than the smell of a passing stranger's perfume, and a grin spread across my face. It brought back so many memories as I looked around at the banners hanging from the ceiling, the concession and merchandise stands being set up, and the locker rooms lining the left hallway. I looked down the right hallway, which led to the ring, and turned back to the left. I slowly walked through the hallway searching for my name on a door. Too bad it wasn't there. I growled. How dare they not give me a locker room! I wasn't having any of it. I decided to make my way towards Teddy's office to file a complaint. My gym bag that I was holding on my right shoulder was beginning to get heavy so I had to switch it to my left shoulder and that's when I saw her talking to him. Matt Hardy. Just thinking about him made me sick to my stomach. I had to hold back the urge to start vomiting. Look at them. Laughing, joking, and enjoying themselves. I haven't been keeping up with the programming so I was surprised when I saw him pull the Intercontinental title out of his bag. I chuckled. See, without me look who they have to be champion. And I guess titles can do wonders for people. I quickly turned away when I saw her turn to look at me. Following her gaze, Matt also looked over at me. I noticed the look of hatred on his face. Good to know the feeling is mutual. I looked over at Tiffany and she quickly turned away. She gave Matt a quick goodbye hug and headed towards her locker room. Matt looked back over at me with a smile on his face. To my surprise, he walked over to me. He offered his hand out to me, but I swatted it away.
"It's great to see you too Drew, "he said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes. "Now if you don't mind I need to go prepare for my match against Rhodes." I was blocking the way to his locker room so as he went around to pass me I stepped in front of him. Once again I was blocking his path. "Very mature Drew. " He stood there for a moment waiting for me to move, but I didn't. "Excuse me," he said again. I cocked an eyebrow at him. Really?
"You're excused," I replied as I stepped to the side to let him pass by. Matt responded with a nod of his head and a slight grin. He slowly started passing by me and that's when the idea popped into my mind, and the evil grin spread across my face. I quickly put my foot in the way of his path and he fell to the floor. He quickly looked up at me and I shrugged my shoulders. "Maybe if you tied your shoes…" I noticed him look down at his feet and that's when I made my escape. I ran down the right hallway continuing on my way towards Teddy's office. When I was out of harm's way I looked back over my shoulder to see Tiffany hovering over Matt with her arm around him. He was holding his nose and I noticed that it was bleeding. I let out a soft chuckle. I turned away to continue on my way to Teddy's office and that's when I felt someone yank at my shirt. I turned around and I was face to face with her…Tiffany. My breathing began to speed up and my palms became sweaty. Why does she make me so nervous? I gave her my signature evil grin and she rolled her eyes. I made a pouty face like what she did actually hurt me. Which it did. She began to speak.
"Drew," she paused for a brief moment, "why do you insist on acting this way? " I was looking down at the floor and she placed her hand under my chin to make me look into her eyes. "Please explain to me why you do the things you do. Do you think it impresses people? Do you want to scare people away?" She removed her hand from my chin. Before I could speak someone called to her from afar.
"Tiffany!" I looked over to see Christian standing beside Matt with a huge grin on his face. He waved for her to go over towards them in which she did. First, she spoke to me again.
"Just think about what I told you." She made her way over to Christian who pulled her into a huge bear hug with his arms wrapped tightly around her waist. His hands slowly made their way to her beautiful blonde hair and he twirled his fingers around a small strand. The thing that hurt me though, was that she was hugging him back. She had her arms wrapped tightly around his neck with her head lying in his chest. "Jay it's been too long!" I heard her scream as they continued their long hugging session. "Since what…when ECW ended?" A grin spread across her face. "I've missed you!"
"I've missed you too Tiff!" They separated from their hug and he took her hands into his. "We've got so much catching up to do! After Smackdown how about me, you, and Matt meet up at the bar?"
"We can't forget about Kelly! I'm in!" All three let out a loud chuckle. "Well I'll meet you guys later! I got to go find Kelly!" She gave them each a goodbye hug and blew them a kiss on her way back to her locker room. How I loathed them both so much right now. I wanted to be the one in her arms. The one she never wanted to let go of. The one she could tell all her secrets to. I wanted to run my hands through her beautiful blonde hair and wrap my arms around her waist. How I wanted her to be with me. I snapped out of my trance as I remembered why I came this way, to talk to Teddy about my room. I turned back towards the direction of his office and continued down the path of the long hallway. I stopped when I finally reached the dead end with the door that read GM Teddy Long. Well here it goes. I slowly raised my hand to knock on the door.
"Come in!" Teddy called from his office. I slowly grabbed the handle and opened the door. I peeked in so he knew it was me, and then I stepped inside. He took his hand and motioned for me to take a seat. I sat down in the black leather chair from across him. It was silent for a moment, and Teddy ended that by clearing his throat. "Well hello Drew," he welcomed me with a smile. "Great to have you back." Sure Teddy and I have had our differences on screen, but in reality I don't think he's that bad of a guy. I still don't like him, but he's better than most. He offered me his hand, which I accepted. "I'm sure Vince has told you about the plan for your return tonight correct?" I nodded.
"But that's not why I'm here. I was wondering why I don't have a locker room." I calmly responded.
"Well Drew, you have been missing for 15 months. Things change, people become bigger stars." I only responded with a small nod. "I'll be sure for the next show that you have your own locker room, but for know you have to use the jobber locker room." Great, just the words every superstar wants to hear. I became furious.
"I am not a jobber!" I yelled as I slammed my fist down onto his desk, which caused him to jump.
"No one said you were Drew. We just need to get you a new locker room."
"Well you better make it fast." With that said I picked up my bag and exited his office. I may have acted upset, but I was really thinking why is he being so nice and understanding? Maybe, just maybe, I might actually like him. I quickly made my way to the jobber locker room hoping to not get spotted by anyone of importance. I still had plenty of time to spare, so I decided to head to catering which was probably the last place I wanted to be. Many other superstars were starting to arrive and it was getting crowded and loud. People were catching up with one another after their long trip here. I grabbed an apple from the fruit basket and sat over at a far table by myself. I pulled out my cell phone and began fiddling with it, but not really doing anything on it. Plenty of superstars passed by me while they were in catering, but only a few gave me a hello. I spotted Dolph, Kofi, and Cody over at a table eating their lunch, and Kelly Kelly and LayCool at another. Everyone was enjoying themselves with their company, apart from me, and that's when someone tapped me on my shoulder. "Hey Heath," I said without looking up. He took the seat across from me. Heath was one of the only people in this business I considered my friend. He is such a great guy.
"It's great to have you back! Naw mean!" He replied and with it gave me his wide, cheesy grin. I was one of the first people he told that catchphrase to and I told him it wouldn't catch on. I was wrong.
"It's great to be back." I gave him a quick smile and returned to messing with my phone.
"I was just checking up on you. The Corre has a meeting with Teddy soon. We'll have to meet up again sometime after Smackdown. Speaking of that, I think everyone is going out to the bar across the street tonight. You're more than welcome to attend it. Well I gotta go! Catch up with ya later!" It's great to know I have on friend in the business. I wasn't paying attention to where I was going when I stood up and someone's tray spilt all over me. I was furious! I looked up to see that it was Trent's.
"Watch it punk!" I screamed and everyone in catering turned towards me and Trent. "Look what you did!"
"I'm sorry man. It was an accident!" Trent responded.
"Does your apology fix what happened? I don't think so!" I pushed him as he fell and slid across the floor. Everyone's eyes were now transfixed on what was going on. "I think you could use a little punch with that sandwich you were eating!" I picked up the closest cup to where I was standing and I poured it over him. Of course she chooses that moment to walk into catering. I looked up at her and she looked down at the floor. If I was her I wouldn't look at me either. I don't know how I look at myself in the mirror every day. I was saved by the bell indicated the show was about to begin and everyone needed to report to their locker rooms. I hope you're ready Matt. I'm coming for you. I quickly made my way to the jobber locker room and changed into my attire. Even though I wouldn't be wrestling I refused to come out in jeans like they wanted. I had my own plan ready. Every other superstar in the locker room, including Trent stayed quiet the whole time until it was time for their "on screen appearance." I wouldn't even call it a match. The called for me to report to the gorilla position and I inhaled deeply. I heard Cody's entrance play and then Matt's which I could barely hear due to all the loud screaming. I rolled my eyes. It was about ten minutes later when the stagehand gave me my signal. I stepped out from behind the curtains and began running towards the ring.
