Ted watches as I lean against Cody's chest. He wish he could replace Cody at that time but it will never happen. Not in his dream, never in his life. Ava hates him and everyone knew that. The only time they'll not argue are the time when they're both alone but still, there are no signs of possibility that she could like him back. A hand which patted on Ted's shoulder shocked him.

"Ted, what are you're doing?"

"Nothing Maryse."

He answered as he walks away. Maryse, like everyone know, will never take a 'no' for an answer. She will follow and stalk the person forever to know the truth. And the good thing about her is that, she'll keep the truth safe and sound.

"Ted, I know that voice of yours. You seem frustrated."

"Maryse, buzz off."

"Never. Until you tell me everything. What is it?"

"How do you say in French if I love Ava?"

"Ted aime Ava. ( Ted love Ava. )"

Ted then sigh and lean against the wall as Maryse figured it out.

"Ted aime Ava... WHAT?! How can you? I mean, elle est la petite amie de Cody! ( She is Cody's girlfriend! )"

"I know."

"What do you mean you know?!"

"It's complicated Maryse. I don't even know what to do myself."

"Je suis désolé que je ne peux pas vous aider Ted. ( I'm sorry that I can't help you Ted. )"

"It's alright Maryse. And please, don't tell anyone about this."

"Certain. ( Sure. )"

Ted then walk away, sorrowfully. Maryse watches as her fellow friend walks away. She felt sorry for him and thought that Ava is stupid to not know that deep inside that Ted loves her. But too bad, Ava have fallen for Ted's best friend, Cody.


I drive alone to the next state for the show after spending in Baltimore for another 2 days. The others have gone first as I overslept the other night. I just unpack my things and decided to stay in the room for the rest of the night. I haven't seen my roomie yet, eventhough there's a bag on the other bed. I then turn on my laptop and surf the net. Turning the music, loud and clear I sing along to it.

"You're my special little lady

The one that makes me crazy

Of all the girls I've ever known

It's you, it's you

My favorite, my favorite, my favorite

My favorite girl, my favorite girl

You're always going out your way

To impress there Mr. Wrongs

But if I ever know you'd get like this

I'll take you as you are"

Not realizing that someone is at the door, laughing. I then turn to my right and saw that jerk. Ted then walk right in, not even caring to ask if he could.

"Do I even need to ask why you're here, in MY room?"

"Hate to break it to you but this is my bag. And bed."

He sits on his self-known bed and toss his bag aside. I stare at him in disbelief.

"I am so going to kill you if you touch any of my things."

"Oh really? Well, I touch your phone. You don't kill me."

He did touch my phone and smirk at me. I then throw a pillow at his face and storm to the bathroom. I wash my face and try to clear my mind.

"Why do I even care if he's here? I mean, I hate him and we hate each other. We definitely can keep our things to ourselves right? Oh my god, I'm sick. Stupid jerk, making me go insane. I mean, talking to myself? Come on, shut up Av."

I close my mouth and quit talking for a minute. Taking a deep breathe before I walk out of the room. Ted is already in his bed, turning on his laptop. I change my sight on my laptop and get into bed, continue surfing the net. A message then pop up as I was chatting with Maryse and Melina. Ted?

TDiBiase: What are you doing?

AvAOrton: Why do you care?

TDiBiase: I was being nice...

AvAOrton: Then don't be...

TDiBiase: What can I do to make you forgive me?

AvAOrton: By saying the word 'sorry'?

TDiBiase: Fine, I'm sorry ):

AvAOrton: I said, say the word... Not type...

TDiBiase: Alright, you turn around and I'll said it.

AvAOrton: Why in the world should I turn around? Plus, you're the man get on your knees(:

TDiBiase: WHAT?! Not on the knees but I'll apologize.

AvAOrton: Whatever, just get your mouth to say those words already will you?

TDiBiase: Alright, fine...

I then turn around and saw Ted sitting on his bed, facing me.

"Hey."

"Just get to it Ted."

"Alright, I'm sorry. For everything that I did to you and yeah, for ruining your high school life."

"Apology accepted and, can you stop acting cute? It's not working on me."

We both chuckles and look at each other as silence arouse.

"I'm naturally cute unlike yourself."

"Excuse me? Say for yourself, you're acting cute but you're so not cute."

"Come on, at least you have a great voice."

"Like real? I mean, seriously?"

"Like, NOT! I was joking... You have a beautiful voice."

"Thank you and, I take back that you're acting cute. You're naturally cute."

"But it doesn't work on you, right?"

"Nope and Cody's a much more man than you are."

"Just because he saved you? Even I can do that, if only I'm there."

"No way. If you're there, I am so not dating you or marrying you. For goodness sake, you're such an ass. Do you know that?"

"Practically no. Until you told me."

"You're a self-centered person too. Awesome."

"Do you really love Cody?"

"What?"

"Do you love Cody?"

"Of course, he's my boyfriend."

"He's your boyfriend because you know that he's the one who saved you. But what if he don't saved you and some other guy saved you?"

His question shut my mouth. I seriously don't know how to answer this question. What is he trying to tell me? That Cody didn't saved me? Oh, help please?

"Why are even asking me this?"

"Because,"

My phone then rang, cutting of our talk. I answered it and talk to Cody on the phone the whole time. Ted, he just turn his laptop off and grab his jacket before leaving the room.


The next morning till afternoon, I spent time at the gym with Melina, Kelly and Maryse. Kelly left first then Melina and Maryse. I'm all alone till 2pm and I decided to leave the place. I drive my car back to the hotel and found Cody at the lobby, deciding to run to him. It stops me when a girl suddenly came up to him and kissed his cheek. Without thinking more, I run to the elevator and got into my room.

"Alright, I'll talk to you later Chad."

I got onto my bed, hugging my pillow crying. Ted quickly put his phone aside, after hanging up his call. He then sigh a little and sits beside me. He stroke my back gently, trying his best to comfort me.

"Do you want to share about it with me?"

"Cody is a jerk!"

"Repeat it again."

"Your best friend, Cody Rhodes is a jerk!"

I then get up and face him. Leaning my head to his chest, without thinking normally. Ted have no other choice but to put his arms around me, embracing me.

"And what makes him a jerk?"

"I just saw a girl kissed him at the lobby! I can't believe he let them do that! Those girls are some kind of a,"

"Av, it can be another fan or, his friend."

"But he's my boyfriend! They can't just go and kiss him anytime right?!"

"I'll talk to him about it Ava. And please trust Cody. He's your boyfriend like you said but, in your relationship, you sound like you don't even trust him."

"How come you can always make me feel better when I'm down?"

"I guess, I'm your laughing gas then."

I chuckle a little as I back up from him. He laughs for a second and messed up my hair.

"You reek Av."

"I do?"

"You really do."

"Aw man."

I sigh and get my shower.


Ted went to Cody's room that night, without Ava knowing. He sneaked out as he saw that she already fell asleep. He got into the room and sits on Cody's bed.

"What do you want?"

Cody asked while yawning.

"What did you do just now?"

"What did I do just now?"

"I asked you!"

"I'm asking myself!"

"Cody, come on seriousness here. Ava's sulking at you."

"Because of what?!"

"She saw a girl kissing you in the lobby this afternoon."

"Oh, she was just a fan."

"And she's jealous of that fan of yours idiot."

"I'll talk to her tomorrow."

"Alright, I have to go now."

"Tell her I said goodnight!"

"Yeah yeah."

Ted uttered as he walk back to his room.
