Chapter 4
"Payton?" A.J. says coming up beside me as I walk into the impact Zone.
"yes?" I say looking at him.
"Umm your dad and I have a tag match tonight."
"I'm well aware of that. I have a match with the bitch anyway." I say
"Will you come out to the ring with us?"
"Do I have to dress up?"
"Nope you can wear jeans and a t-shirt for all I care." He says, "Wait make that a tank top."
I smile at his comment.
"Sure I'll come out." I say kissing his cheek. "That's for the slap. I didn't know you and dad were on the same page."
"It's fine. Good luck against Karen."
_in the Ring_
Eric Bischoff comes to the ring with the remaining members of Immortal.
"If anyone thinks that Immortal is going to take a step back because of what happened with Fortune, it's not going to happen because I'm Eric Bischoff and I've spent the last 15 years building stars and companies and changing the face of the industry as we know it today. I don't give a damn about Fortune, and the only reason they were even in Immortal was because of Ric Flair who, by the way, owes me a phone call."
Immortal all shake their heads.
"A.J. Styles you're midget hillbilly, James Storm, you're one beer away from liver failure, Frankie Kazarian you are the Clay Aiken of wrestling, and Robert Roode you are another Canadian with no charisma."
That state me pissed me off. Jay had lots of Charisma; so did Robert. A.J. nudges me; I look at him and smile
"I'm good."
He nods and turns back to what was going on in the ring.
Eric hands the microphone to Jeff Jarrett.
"Fortune to come out right now!"
I take Robert's arm and we walk out and into the ring.
"I want you to get out if it ends in a fight." A.J. says as we walk down the ramp.
"But!"
"No buts Payton." I roll my eyes and nod.
"BOYS you need to grow a set and come talk face to face with some real men."
We come down to the ring and goes face to face with Immortal,
"I'm sorry for what happened last week, because nine years ago I gave every member of Fortune an opportunity when they were flipping burgers and begging me for a job and this is how they repay me. This isn't even talking about the disrespect you shown the biggest box office attraction in the history of the business, Hulk Hogan, and all of you are nothing."
He continues running them all down and then Roode grabs the mic out of his hand.
"That is enough, and if we want to take a trip down Memory Lane, you did give them all an opportunity, and we took that opportunity and built his company from the ground up. We are the heart and soul of TNA Wrestling and Jarrett knows it's the truth, but we would still come in week after week and see "the new face of wrestling", our saviors, the washed up has-beens who came and left, and the whole time you was overlooking them."
I grab his arm in support.
"We had opportunities to leave and make more money elsewhere, but we stayed here because of the love and the belief we had in TNA Wrestling. We have all risen to the top and we'll continue to rise to the top no matter what you have to say about it, and if you don't like that, then he should grow a set and do something about it"
Immortal attacks Fortune and I slide out of the ring like instructed and watch as things go down.
My father, Scott, and Tommy run into the ring and immortal scatter. Jeff shoves me out of the way causing me to fall onto the ground. A.J. slides out of the ring and helps me up.
"Thanks."
"No problem." He says smiling a boyish smile. We head to the back so I could get ready for my match against Karen.
-Later on-
Karen and Jeff are in the ring, who are surrounded by security, and
"If you all enjoyed watching out family behind the scenes." Karen says "I did it for all of you because she can't imagine what it's like with your terrible marriages and dysfunctional marriages, and see what it's like to be a Jarrett and live the life they live where it's nothing but love 24/7."
Dad's music hits and we walk out so he can sign the contract for their match, the security forms a wall between us and the Jarrett's.
"This is a good chance to show the kids that mommy, daddy Kurt, and daddy Jeff, oh and of course 'sissy' Payton can all get along and you should put on his happy face."
"Just give me the damn papers." My Father says, I can tell that this is wearing him down.
"Not so fast because our match at Genesis was supposed to be an exhibition and you took it too far, and that's why I had to destroy you." Jarrett says "I have nothing to prove at Against All Odds, so i wants to up the ante: if you win, then you gets custody of your two kids, but if I wins, then on March 3rd in Fayetteville, North Carolina when Karen renews her vows with me, I wants YOU to give the bride away."
I stand there shocked.
"Dad." I say he looks at me
"I could get Kyra and Kody back."
Karen obviously didn't like what's going on about as much as I did, but Jeff signs the contract and then hands it to dad, who signs it as well.
"You know what will happen if you lose right?"
"Yes Payton I know. But think about if I win. No when I win."
"Dad." I try
"End of discussion." He snaps walking away from me. I sigh and walk to my locker room to change into my ring gear. Suddenly the tears started to fall.
"Nothing's going to change you know that?" I hear john's voice say. I look up and he's sitting on the bench looking at me.
"Everything's going to change John." I say, "He's getting Kyra and Kody back. That means I'm on the back burner again."
"You know that's not fair." John takes me hand. "You have Katy. Wait what is with your family and K's?"
I smile
"I'm the odd one out." I whisper.
"No you're not. And you never will be."
John hugs me and I finish crying on his chest.
"What the hell are you doing here?" I hear someone say, I look at the door and A.J. was standing in it.
"I got a text from Scott saying that I should talk to Payton, so I'm here consoling her."
"You're with WWE get out."
"ALLEN JONES!" Mickie's voice comes from my bathroom. "Leave him alone and get out of our dressing room."
He huffs and walks out.
"But he's right." Mickie says, "For a guy who hates TNA you sure do hang around."
John laughs
"I got to be here for my baby's momma." He says hugging Mickie. "How you doing 'kie?"
"I have a match." I say sliding on my converses.
"HOT DAMN!" john yells as I walk out of the bathroom in my ring gear.
"What?" I ask
You never wore anything like that for me." He pouts.
"I was never dressed enough to wear this." John grins and Mickie rolls her eyes.
"Don't you have a match?" Mickie asks. I nod and walk out of the room. I walk to the gorilla position and wait for my music to start. I see A.J. across the hall and wave at him. He smiles at me and waves back
My music hits and I walk down the ramp and get into the ring. I wait for Karen to walk and grin as Jeff's music hits and he walk out.
"My wife will not competing in a match tonight." He says, "but don't worry you'll have your match."
Serta's Music starts and she runs down. She attacks me and I fall to the ground. She had a chair why didn't I see that in the beginning. Sarita continued to beat me until someone came to my rescue. A.J. helped me up and helped me to the back.
"Are you okay?" he asks
"That CHICKENSHIT BITCH!" I yell
"I'll take that as a yes." A.J. says smiling. I punch him and walk into my dressing room to find Katy and John sleeping. I smile. Grab a change of clothes and get ready to go out with my pops and A.J.
-Last Match-
I walk out with my father and stand in the ring waiting for Hardy and Jarrett to make their entrance
They come down with Karen, I get pissed, A.J. grabs my arm to restrain me.
"Calm down." He whispers in my ear. I hug him and smile.
"Thank you." I say. I get out of the ring.
Jarrett and AJ start the match and AJ immediately tags dad in, so Jarrett runs and tags out to Hardy.
"Pussy!" I Yell. A.J. glares at me I smile innocently.
Dad takes Hardy down with a headlock but Hardy regains his feet and takes Dad to the corner, then stomps him down to the mat. Dad responds with an overhead belly to belly suplex for 2 as Jarrett stands in the corner with his arm outstretched, so Dad tosses Hardy into his corner and Jarrett suddenly drops to the floor. Dad tags AJ and they hit a double backdrop on Hardy for 2, but then Hardy drives AJ into the corner and now Jarrett tags in and he beats AJ down.
AJ catches him unawares with a hiptoss and tags Dad, but Jarrett runs and tags out as he dives to the floor again. Dad comes off the ropes and Jarrett grabs his ankle, allowing Hardy to hit a clothesline for 2.
"FUCK!" I yell
Hardy goes to a chinlock, Dad fights his way out but Hardy nails him with a back elbow and a legdrop, then tags Jarrett in. Jarrett unloads with some hard rights and chokes Dad on the second rope as Karen screams in his face.
I run around to the other side of the ring and attack her.
"That's for being a chicken shit bitch." I say spitting in her face. I walk back over to our side
Dad catches the ankle out of nowhere and goes for the ankle lock, but Hardy comes in to break it up and then tags in to inflict some punishment on Dad. Hardy with a vertical suplex for 2 but dad kicks out. Dad is trying to fight his way free, but Hardy nails him with a clothesline and goes for the Swanton, but Dad runs up the turnbuckles and suplexes Hardy into the ring.
Dad makes the hot tag and AJ comes in and cleans house, hitting a hard back suplex on Jarrett for 2, Jarrett escapes the Styles Clash but AJ hits the Pelle Kick for 2.
"COME ON A.J.!" I yell
Hardy comes in and gives AJ a gourdbuster, but Dad hits a 450 German Suplex on Hardy and then stalks Jarrett as he gets up and goes for the Angle Slam, but Jarrett slips out and runs from Dad. He runs into the ring and kicks at Dad to keep him from getting in the ring, and AJ hits a springboard cross body on Jarrett to pick up the win.
I jump into the ring and hug my father and A.J.
"Good job." I tell A.J. kissing his cheek. I stare into his eyes and blush. He smiles. But then that smile turned into pain
Jeff Jarrett comes in with low blows on both Angle and AJ and gives them both the Stroke, and then Hardy comes in and gives AJ the Twist Of Hate.
"STOP!" I say trying to pull Hardy off of my father only to have him shove me back I fell backwards on my ass making tears enter my eyes.
They continue beating them down until Fortune, Crimson, and Scott Steiner run in to make the save.
"Get out of the ring Payton." Scott says I do as he says and slide out of the ring.
The rest of Immortal runs in to even the odds and Fortune and company again get beat down. Rob Van Dam runs out and Jeff Hardy and Jarrett bail and RVD cleans house on the rest of them until Matt Hardy clips RVD's knee from behind. Now Ken Anderson runs out to make the save and clears out Immortal by himself, and then stares angrily at them as they hightail it up the ramp.
I get back into the ring and help A.J. up and hold onto his hand.
We go to the back and smile as Katy jumps into my arms.
"Hey baby girl."
"Mommy I'm hungry."
"Where did your daddy going?" I ask
"He had to go. Had to catch a plane. He left me with Uncle Petey,"
"Uncle Petey?"
"Hey kid." Petey says walking out of my locker room. I hand Katy to A.J. and run to my best friend hugging the life out of him. "Jesus Pay."
"I've missed you!" I say as he lifts me up and spins me around. He sits me on the ground and Katy hugs my legs.
"A.J. is going to take us to burger king." Katy says, "and he told me he wasn't taking no for answer from you."
I look at A.J. who was talking to Robert Roode and smile.
"Okay go tell A.J. he better hurry up."
She runs over to A.J. as Petey hands me my bag.
"Thank Pete. Wanna do lunch tomorrow?" He nods and kisses my forehead as Katy takes my hand and starts pulling me towards A.J.
"Ready?" he says, I nod taking his arm and he leads us to his car.
