It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on, Just try your best, try everything you can, And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away…
I took a deep breath, puffed out my chest, put a determined look on my face and declared,
"I will no longer care! I am going to enjoy my time with the Main Event Mafia!" Kurt smiled, Tessa looked horrified, Traci and Sharmell could care less. I can't believe I just said that. I think it was televised too… Shoot. Me. Now. Oh well. Too late. "Fuck." I mumbled under my breath and walked out of the room. I kept replaying it over and over in my head. Did I actually mean it? Did I honestly mean what I had just said? No. Of course not.
"Mollie Kendal Jarrett." I heard the low growl of James Storm.
"Oh…"
"Mollie. What do you think you're up to?! Everyone was pissed with you to begin with, now they are angry." he grabbed my arms and shook me, "Where's my Mollie? The best darn divorce lawyer the South has ever seen. The little blonde cutie that never got into trouble, that always did good by people? The one that was friends with the good guys." he asked. James has been my friend for ages, he always knew when something was wrong, or when I was lying.
"It's simple Jimmy. She's gone, she grew up. She made a few wrong decisions and ended up being in a faction that is full of dickheads. She's fucked up her life, to a point where no one will speak to her." I answered.
"Mollie. All you have to do is give us the real reason as to why you joined the Main Event Mafia, then we'll listen, everything will go back to normal, but until then… I don't know what I can do."
"You're still my friend, right?" was all I could say… if I lost James, it was definite I had lost everyone else. He wrapped his arms around me in a hug, I let out a sigh of relief.
"Of course, Moll. I just wish you'd come to your senses is all." Yeah… me too. I thought to myself.
Don't you ever get tired of living that way, Don't you ever wonder whether there's a better life out there…
An urgent knock on my hotel door reminded me that I was indeed not the only one on this planet.
"Mollie! Open the door!" Tessa's voice shouted, and could probably be heard throughout the entire hotel.
"Hold up Tess. Let me get dressed!" I called back as I tried to get into a pair of shorts.
"Dammit Mollie! I don't care! Hurry up and open the damn door!" without having time to pull on a t-shirt, I opened the door. "See, you have a bra on."
"Yeah. But what is it, Tess?"
"I need to speak to you about why you said you were happy to be apart of the Mafia! What was up with that?" she asked in disbelief.
"Hey, if I say that, then no one is going to yell at me anymore. I am so over it Tess."
"And you don't think I am? I've been in that damn faction longer than you. At least people ask why you joined on daily basis, I got asked once then never again."
"They won you in a match, Tess. That's why no one asked you. I'm sorry, Tess."
"Still, I've never once said that I enjoy being there."
"Tess, just let it go. Please. I'm still here for you. Besides, I didn't say I enjoyed it, I said I was going to start enjoying. Which isn't going to happen."
"Just quit." she suggested, making it sound like it was as easy as pie,
"Then Alex gets hurt. I'm not going to quit and let Alex get pummelled."
"You're too selfless."
"I love him." I shrugged.
Don't be the reason, You better learn how to treat us right, 'Cause once a good girl goes bad, We gone forever…
Tessa and I had had way to much to drink. We had taken to the dance floor, we were even dancing with Traci, who I was once good friends with. I'm not sure as to why she isn't happy that I'm in MEM with her. The amount of alcohol in our blood stream could be potentially dangerous, but we didn't care. Our dancing had the attention of every guy in the vicinity. Not to far away, Alex was dancing with Estelle, and it was making me all the more determined to get down and dirty. The song ended and I went to get a drink. I sat down next to James who called the bartender over and got me a beer.
"You still like beer, right?" he asked.
"I haven't completely changed James." I laughed and the man handed me my beer, "Thanks." I took a swig of the beer and turned to James.
"He's pissed."
"Oh well." I shrugged.
I spent my time just thinkin thinkin thinkin bout you, Every single day yes, I'm really missin' missin' you, And all those things we use to use to use to do…
Stumbling through the halls of the hotel I was singing random songs that had been stuck in my head from the club. The way my body was moving was not in sync with the lyrics.
"Meet me halfway, right at the borderline, where I-I'm goonnaaaaaa waaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyy-t for youuuuuuuu." I shouted, probably waking up sleeping people. "I'lllllllll beeeeeee loookin outtttt Mite and MAY!" I heard heavy footsteps behind me and turned around. "Aweeeexxxxxxx." I smiled when I saw Patrick Martin.
"Mollie, you should be in bed. It's 3 in the morning."
"But I'm not tirrreddd!" I groaned like a 4 year old and crossed my arms over my chest, stamping my foot at the same time.
"Mollie, come on. You get cranky when you're drunk and tired. Where's your room?"
"Down there!" I pointed down the hall with a goofy look on my face.
"Why do you always drink to much?"
"Jimmy kept buyin beeeeeeer." I tripped over my feet and landed on the carpeted floor, then I started laughing. "Unco!" I shouted.
"Mollie, cut it out. People are trying to sleep."
"They have to wake up sooner or later, gimme a break." I stood up, wobbling as I tried.
"Give me your key." he demanded and I rolled my eyes, "Just do it Mollie." I pulled it out of my pocket and handed it to him. Once he opened the door he pushed me inside, I collapsed onto the bed and rolled onto my stomach.
"Alex… I don't feel well…" I groaned and hugged the pillow.
"That's kinda what happens when you get wasted… I have to get back to my room."
"Hmm," I sighed, "Estelle is probably waiting."
"Yeah…" he said turning around, I heard the door open and I spoke up again.
"Alex…"
"Yeah."
"I love you."
