Felt like updating again. Thank you to my reviewers, you are awesome :)
Finally she had been released from hospital. It had been a rough couple of weeks with Legacy attacking John and her ending up in the hospital. Hopefully this would be the last time Gail had to go to this dreaded place. She was packing her things getting ready for RAW in Boston. Maybe she would have a match? Maybe Legacy won't be part of her life anymore. Maybe she could turn her career around. A bunch of maybes that's all they were. The reality was still the same. She most likely wouldn't have a match, Legacy would be targeting her and she had no way of turning her career around. Great just great... There was a knock at her hotel room door and Gail briskly went and opened it. "Hey Mel" she greeted her with a small smile. "Aren't you packing?" she questioned standing aside in order to let her in.
"Yeah but I thought I should check up on you. You know, see how you were going after your trip to the hospital" Melina sat herself down on the couch only for Gail to pull up a chair opposite her. There was a short silence. It made Gail nervous, wondering what Melina was going to say next. "So...how are you?" Melina asked a faint smile appearing on her face. Gail shrugged, how on earth was she supposed to answer that without lying.
"I'm ok, I suppose..." she mumbled. "You know considering..." Melina nodded slightly not sure what to say.
"You looking forward to being on RAW?" Melina asked trying to get her friend to speak to her about anything. After Legacy had targeted her, she wasn't quite the same Gail Kim she was before. "I mean Gailina is going to rock fo sho" Melina smiled towards her making Gail smile faintly back at her.
"What's with the ghetto talk? You've been hanging around JoMo for too long" Gail teased making Melina fold her arms. "It's true isn't it?"
"What can I say, I'm a Mofo" Melina smiled. Gail was so confused what was a 'mofo'? "And before you ask a Mofo is a Morrison supporter..."
"Oh..." Gail replied. "I was thinking something else..." Gail widened her eyes and stood up. "Anyway I need to pack, don't you need to as well?"
"Well unlike you Gail, I'm organised. I have already packed" Melina stood up proud of herself. Typical. Melina the organised one, pfft yeah right.
"Really? You have already packed? That's a first..." Gail muttered more to herself than to the A-List Diva. "Do you mind helping me pack then?"Gail asked wondering off towards the bedroom to pack her stuff.
"Ok, I'll help, on one condition" Melina followed her a serious expression on her face. Gail turned around to face her, her face just as serious as Melina's.
"I know Legacy is bothering you but promise me you'll just ignore them...please?" Gail slowly sunk to her bed as the dreaded word had been brought back up again.
"I can't..." Gail started. "I still love Randy..." Melina stared at her best friend, how could she still love the man after everything he had done?
"Gail the guy put you in hospital..." Melina started as Gail shot a glance at her.
"What's your point?" Gail answered quite annoyed. This conversation was starting to get under her skin. She didn't want to talk about this, she just wanted to pack her things and leave for Boston. But Melina just needed to talk right now, as usual. Everyone wanted to talk about everthing and Gail just wanted to keep to herself.
"Gail, Legacy's dangerous, Randy is dangerous, he hurt your back, they're psychotic" Melina replied placing a hand on Gail's shoulder which she pushed away. Melina had a look of confusion on her face but decided to just sit in silence. A few minutes later Melina spoke to break the long silence. "I don't think your love for Randy is worth being targeted by the Legacy, it just isn't" Melina watched Gail cautiously, maybe she was being to hard on her? Gail buried her face in her hands and then ran both of them through her hair.
"Why doesn't anyone understand?" Gail choked out becoming all emotional again. "That's not the Randy Orton I knew. Did you even know the Randy I love or were you still in OVW?" Gail looked up at her anger and tears definite in her eyes.
"Excuse me?" Melina asked slightly offended. "What's that supposed to mean?" Melina asked standing up also quite annoyed.
"I think you know exactly what that means" Gail also stood up staring daggers into Melina's hazel eyes. Melina stood there completely taken aback by Gail's words, this wasn't the Gail she knew.
"If you have something to say, why don't you say it to my face?" Melina questioned staring daggers back into Gail's eyes. She waited patiently for a response, she didn't know if she was going to get one or not.
"Yeah I do have something to say" Gail started, swallowing the lump in her throat as she did so. Melina raised her arms awaiting Gail's words.
"I'm right here, go ahead" Melilna egged her on. Gail stared at Melina for a second and proceeded.
"Just..." Gail sat back down on the bed, burying her head in her hands as she did so. "Just go ok?" Gail mumbled from behind her hands. "Leave..." Gail choked out as Melina stared at her with caution again. Melina sighed knowing that she shouldn't have pushed Gail's buttons and made her all emotional again. "Did you not hear what I just said?" Gail looked up at her teary eyed. Melina took a deep breath and sat next to Gail. "Why are you still here?" Gail asked wiping the tears that were flowing rapidly down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry ok?" Melina started as Gail looked up at her. "I just thought if John and I were in your position...I don't know what I'd do..." Gail sniffled slightly as Melina shook her head to herself before she sighed once again. "I'm so sorry" Melina wrapped her arms around her distraught best friend pulling her into a tight hug, Gail kept her eyes closed as she shook slightly from the amount of tears she was crying. "Everything will be better from now on.. I promise Gail." Melina murmured down to her best friend. Gail opened her eyes slowly nodding silently to what Melina had said, not sure if she should believe her or not. So many things were happening in her life right now. Legacy, John coming out of hospital and Evan confessing his love for her. It was all too much...way too much. Melina sighed slightly to herself as she looked down at Gail, before slowly grabbing her mobile phone from her jacket pocket. She clicked onto contacts before scrolling down, until coming across John. She phoned him and waited for an answer.
"Hey babe" John greeted her with a smile on his face. "What's up?" he spoke in such a cheery manner.
"Hun you need to get to Gail's hotel room.. Now." Melina said quietly. "I need you here" she angled her head down at Gail, "she needs you here too." John's voice turned into a concerned right.
"Is she ok?" John asked. "Randy didn't do anything to her did he? Cos I swear to god, I'll kick his butt" John said anger hinting in his voice.
"No, she just needs some Guru of Greatness" Melina smiled slightly. A small smile appeared on John's face as well.
"Are you sure it's not you who wants...needs some Guru of Greatness?" John teased as Melina shook her head with a smile.
"John, in all seriousness we need you here, you know...to cheer us up" Melina replied in a soft tone.
"Ok babe, I'll see you in a few minutes. I love you" he replied as he waited for her to reply.
"I love you too John..." and with that the conversation ended. "John will be here any minute" Melina smiled at Gail. She felt so bad for making her snap all over again. Some friend she was. Melina's smile faded as there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it..." she walked over to the door quickly and opened the door to find Randy Orton standing there. This must be trouble. "Oh no!" She said as she quickly went to shut the door as soon as she opened it, only to be stopped by his arm preventing the door from shutting.
"Melina! I have to see Gail!" Randy replied and mixture of hurt and anger written upon his face.
"Go away! She doesn't want to see you above all people" Melina snapped back.
"Please... I have to talk to her" Randy retorted as he was growing impatient.
"No!" Melina shouted still trying to shut the door.
"Please...I just need 5 minutes!" Randy yelled his anger taking over his emotional state. Gail heard Melina yelling at the familiar voice so she went out to stop them yelling at each other.
"You have got to be kidding me? You're unbelievable" Gail stated as she folded her arms across her chest staring at Randy.
"Gail?" both Melina and Randy replied in unison then they scowled at each other for speaking at the same time.
"Gail..." Randy started before he was cut off by Gail giving him a glare.
"Mel... I've got this" Gail said sniffling slightly as she took a deep breath.
"You sure?" Melina asked sceptical. Gail brushed past giving Melina a reassuring nod, however, she didn't buy it. Looking from Gail to Randy, Melina warned, "I'll go call John to get here faster then" Melina shot a glare to Randy and walked off in order to pack Gail's stuff. Gail walked out the door and closed the door behind her.
"You have some damn nerve to show your face around this place. You know considering what you did to me" Gail snapped at him.
"What I did to you? What about what you did to me?" Randy asked his hurt expression definite on his face. Gail scoffed at him, he really had the audacity to make these outrageous comments.
"You put me in the hospital!" Gail exclaimed tears prickling at her eyes again. "I'm out for a month but luckily for me, I can fight through my pain so I'll be back on RAW in no time. Legacy shouldn't be too happy with that. And what did I do that was oh so bad to you?" Gail asked looking him up and down with a scowl on her face.
"I put you in the hospital?" Randy asked completely stunned. "Are you ok? How?" Gail rolled her eyes at him. "I'm so sorry Gail..." his icy blue eyes meeting with Gail's dark brown eyes.
"Right ...and I am supposed to believe that you're sorry? You attacked John and Melina and then you attacked me. Is that supposed to impress me?" Gail said.
"I admit it...my apology doesn't mean anything but you hurt me Gail" Randy stated bringing a hand up to his mouth.
"I hurt you?" Gail asked in disbelief. "I really would like to know what goes on in that psychotic head of yours. What made you think that? Your precious Legacy?" Gail looked him up and down in disgust.
"Psychotic?" Randy asked raising his eyebrows. Gail rolled her eyes, awaiting his reply. "So is this sadness of yours all an act? I mean you looked perfectly fine at the hospital the other night" Randy's jaw muscle twitched as he shoved his hands in his pockets.
"You were at the hospital?" Gail asked confused. "Why?"
"Why do you think?" Randy replied making Gail nod slightly realising why he was there. He obviously still had feelings for her. Oh no...Oh no, Gail realised his point. "So I have a gift for you and I walk into the room and who do I find you with, Evan Bourne. Do want to explain that to me? Because I think I understand this act of yours."
"Evan and I are just friends I still have..." she trailed off as she brought a hand up to her mouth in order to take control of the sobs that were about to choke her up. "I still have feelings for you..." Randy stared at her not knowing if he should believe her and feel happy that she still had feeling for him or feel the complete opposite. "I don't understand how you can just" Gail dropped her gaze to the floor. "How you can just ignore your friends and just run off with Legacy thinking life will be all good and be ok with that."
"Legacy is the best stable since Evolution and I, personally wouldn't challenge that" Randy replied with a smirk.
"See, that's what I'm talking about that's why I can't be with you because of the self-centred jerk you've become" Gail snapped back at him. "What happened to the times when you used to tell me 'go out there and kick Trish's butt' and the simple 'I love you'? You tell me what happened to that?"
"I'll tell you what happened to that, you went to TNA that's what happened" Randy hissed. Gail shook her head. He was unbelievable. WWE had to cut her because of cost problems and now he was blaming her.
"And that was my fault? I still kept in contact with you, I still watched your matches on TV and I still supported you and called you when I could but you didn't even make an effort!" Gail snapped back at him. She was absolutely livid now.
"I didn't even make an effort?" Randy scoffed. "If you don't remember correctly I was the one who left the RAW live tour in Australia just to go watch you at Bound for Glory to see if you'd win the title" Randy snapped back.
"Really? You are a liar!" Gail exclaimed.
"Am I?" Randy replied. "Am I really?" Randy asked folding his arms across his chest. "I kept my ticket from that event because it meant a lot to me" he fiddled in the back of his jean pocket and found his wallet. "It's right here" he pulled it out of his wallet and showed it to her. "Am I lying now?" Gail looked at the TNA ticket carefully. "October 14th 2007, the day you became the first TNA Knockout Champ?" Gail stared at the ticket for a good long moment the memories of that day coming back to her.
"Why do you still have this?" Gail questioned handing him the ticket back. Randy stashed it in his wallet again and stared at Gail's hurt expression.
"The correct question to ask is why haven't I got rid of it yet?" Randy replied rubbing the back of his neck. "And it's obvious why I haven't Gail."
"Then why are you choosing Legacy over me?" Gail asked frowning up at him with tears definite in her eyes.
"Because they need me" Randy replied his facial expression grim.
"Have you ever considered that I might need you too?" Gail looked deep into his icy blue eyes that had once mesmerised her.
"Well...no. I have to stay focused on the WWE champ Triple H and run Legacy. I'm a busy guy Gail" Randy replied.
"I see how it is. Don't you find it ironic that when I returned to WWE Legacy was already around?" Randy shrugged. "You know what I think we're done here."
"But Gail I-"
"Just go ok? You haven't changed at all and the only reason why you came here was to accuse me of dating Evan. Maybe just maybe one day in the distant future you'll finally wake up and realise what we had but that day is not coming around anytime soon."
"Gail!" Randy exclaimed.
"We're done. Now you really need to leave" Gail said as she turned to walk away.
"Gail…" Randy said as he went to grab her arm.
"Don't..." Gail mumbled jerking away from Randy.
"Orton she said to leave so just go away." Both Gail and Randy looked, and John had arrived and he was staring straight at Randy.
"Morrison I see you hurt you're arm. I wonder how that happened. No need to fret Morrison I was just talking to Gail here" Randy said with a smirk.
"And I told you to leave" Gail replied.
"You heard her now I suggest you leave" John said.
"John" Randy said irritated and continued, "I don't think that this concerns you." Those were fighting words to John. How could Randy think that this did not concern him. Gail was his best friend. John stepped closer to Randy and got in his face.
"Gail's my best friend and you're targeting her. Give me a reason why I shouldn't kick your ass right now you piece of shit?" John spat and pushed Randy with his good arm causing Randy to fall to the floor.
"John!" Gail exclaimed as she she bent down next to Randy. "Are you ok?" she asked helping him up. John watched with his mouth hanging in awe.
"You know what John, I can't believe you and I used to be best buds, looks like I progessed more than you did" Randy said with a smirk while he adjusted his jacket.
"You son of a-" John said as he went to attack Randy only for Gail to stand in between them.
"Come at me bro, you don't stand a chance!" Randy exclaimed as Gail turned to him.
"Randy please go...for me?" Gail stared into his icy blue eyes. Randy peered around Gail glared at John and then looked back down at her.
"Fine but you tell him to keep his distance from me or he might be Legacy's next target" he shoved Gail's hand off his forearm and strode away down the hallway.
"Bloody jerk, I hope his stupid Legacy get's what is coming to them. They're starting to annoying me" John said scowling at Randy walking down the hall. "You ok?"
"Yeah fine" Gail replied in a mumble as she began to tear up.
"Come here you" John wrapped his arm around her tightly bringing her into a hug. "How about us two and Mel chill when we get to Boston?" John smiled down at her.
"That sounds great John..." Gail mumbled in reply.
"Look Gail, cheer up" he smiled at her. "We're going to need you're entertaining personality back though. Can you do that for us?" John looked into her dark brown eyes. How was it that John could make anyone feel better? He definitely was the Guru of Greatness. She was lucky to have a friend like him and Melina. It was time to put Randy and the Legacy behind her, she was going to Boston and most probably starting her feud with Melina. At least there was a bright side to all of this, she might become Divas Champion.
That was chapter 7 :) Hope you enjoyed it :) Feel free to review :) Thanks for reading :)
