Chapter 10
Lily and Liz enjoyed a great lunch and talked some more. As they were getting ready to head back to the room, Liz's phone rang.
"Hey baby! What's up?" she said into the phone.
"Not much. I was just wondering if my two favorite girls would like to go shopping with me." John replied on the other end.
"Hang on. Let me ask Lilyana." Liz said and then covering the phone with her hand, she looked at Lily and asked, "Your dad wants to know if we want to go shopping with him?"
"Well, duh! We are girls after all." Lily said while giggling.
"Ok sounds like fun to us John." Liz told him.
They finished the phone conversation and John met them in the hotel lobby. He explained that there was a dance for 12-17 year olds being held in the ball room of the hotel that night since it was a Saturday.
"So I thought you might like to get something new to wear to it Lils. That is, provided that you would like to go to it." John told his daughter.
"Sounds like fun." She said. She was really thinking that it would give her Dad and Liz some time alone.
The three went shopping and Lily ended up getting a new skirt and t-shirt. Her skirt was green and black plaid and the t-shirt was black with a green shamrock on it.
After they were done, it was dinner time and John had made plans to meet Randy and Sam at a local restaurant. He drove to the place and they met up with them. They walked in together.
The group enjoyed the meal and chatted.
"So Lils, are you going to the dance tonight?" Randy asked.
"Yeah." Lily replied.
"Remember, don't trust the boys. No making out with them either." He told her.
"Uncle Randy!" Lily exclaimed.
John laughed, Liz just shook her head and Sam slapped Randy's arm playfully.
After dinner they headed back to the hotel and Lily got ready. She put on the new outfit and put her hair up in a ponytail. Just as she finished, someone knocked on the room door.
John opened the door and found Mike standing on the other side.
"Hi Cena. Is Mini Miz ready for me to walk her down to the dance?" he asked.
"Lils are you ready to go? Mike is going to walk you down there." John said.
"Yeah I'm ready." She replied walking towards the door.
John hugged his daughter and kissed her forehead. "Be careful Princess and if you need me just call."
"Good grief Daddy! You are starting to sound like Uncle Randy! I am only going down to the ball room. I will still be in this building." Lily giggled.
"Ok Ok just have fun Princess." John conceded.
Lily smiled and left with Mike. He walked her down to the ball room and she went in waiving bye to him at the door. He headed towards the gym for an evening work out while Lily nervously walked into the dance.
In the ball room, typical teenager music was playing and teens were dancing and having a good time. There were also some tables with refreshments on it, at one end and a dance floor at the other. Lily decided to head to the refreshment tables for now. She didn't like dances or crowds of people her age for that matter.
There were a group of 5 kids standing near the tables and they looked at Lily like she was intruding.
"Excuse me, Can I get through here please." Lily said politely.
A blonde haired girl gave her a snotty look and spoke up first.
"Who are you and why should we move for a loser like you?"
Lily sighed. She was afraid that this would happen. She was used to being bullied.
"The name is Lilyana Cena and who might you be?" Lily said.
"I am Stephany Angle. The daughter of gold medalist, Curt Angle." The blonde replied with an air of superiority.
"Steph, why are you wasting your breathe on a Cena?" a long dark haired girl asked.
Lily was starting to feel herself getting pissed. Why couldn't these idiots just let her through?
"I don't know Courtney. That's a good question." Stephany replied.
"Look could you please just move so I can get something to drink?" Lily said feeling very annoyed.
Another girl with average brown hair stepped up and pushed Lily.
Lilyana was getting pissed at that point. No one puts their hands on a Cena and gets away with it so she shoved the girl back.
"OMG! Jessica are you gonna let this little bitch do that to you?" Courtney asked.
"Yeah Jess, are you gonna let a Cena get away with that?" a dark haired boy said.
Lily already had her fists up and was ready for a fight. She was done with being bullied. Before she got the chance to fight, two boys grabbed her from behind.
"Go ahead, Jess, punch her. Sky and I got her." A blonde haired boy said.
"Yeah we got her." Sky, a dark haired boy said.
Jessica stepped up and slapped Lily in the face leaving her hand print on her cheek. Lily was pissed and struggled to get away from the two boys. She kicked her foot back and nailed one of them in the groin causing them to let her go. Once free she punched Jessica in the mouth busting her lip open. Then she ran out of the ball room, tears streaming down her face. She wasn't watching where she was going and ran right into someone. The person put their arms around her to keep her from falling from the impact.
"Sorry" she said without looking up to see who she had ran into.
"Mini Miz, what's wrong?"
"Oh Mikeā¦" Lily started crying as she leaned into him and he held her.
"Shh, calm down. I got ya. Please tell me what has gotten you this upset."
"Well, I went to get a drink and these three girls started saying mean things and one of them pushed me. I pushed her back and then the two boys with them grabbed me. The one I pushed slapped me. I finally got free and punched her in the mouth."
Mike held the crying girl. He was beyond angry. He was determined to find out who these kids were and make sure they paid for hurting his Mini Miz. Lily just continued to cry.
"Hey Mini Miz can you telling anything about these kids?"
Lily calmed down a bit and looked up at him. She debated for a moment and then decided to tell him.
"Well, the one girl said her name is Stephany Angle. Another girl, Courtney, had long dark hair. The third girl, the one that slapped me, had brown hair and her name is Jessica."
Mike listened to her description and had an idea of who these kids were. He decided to find out more about the two boys to be sure.
"What about the boys?" he asked.
"Well, one had hair the same color as Stephany's and the other one, I think they called him Sky, had dark hair."
Mike nodded and hugged her.
"Do you want to hang out with Zack and I tonight? You could crash in our room and we could play some video games. That way your Dad and Liz could have the night together."
Lily hesitated. On one hand she thought it might be wrong for her to stay in the room of two guys since she is only twelve. On the other hand, Mike was like her big brother.
"Sure as long as Dad don't mind." Lily said starting to smile again.
Mike got out his phone and dialed John's number.
