Yesterday had confused the hell out of me. I mean, I thought that mine and Lacey's conversation was going pretty good and when I slipped up and told her she was beautiful she was cool with it. After all, she was the one who kissed me first. I just don't know what happened and it kept me up for most of the night. I considered every aspect. My breath didn't stink because I had a mint in my mouth. My body didn't stink because I had on my polo cologne. I hadn't insulted her. I'd been told I was a good kisser before, so I didn't think that could have been the problem. I was just left clueless but I was hoping today I would get my answer.
I sighed as I pulled up the building. We had a show later on today and I really just wasn't even feeling like performing tonight, but it was what I wanted to do so I had to suck it up. Since Justin was out, he was going to be coming with my mom, dad, and sister to watch the show tonight. It was really weird not having Justin ride with me to the show so I know it'd be even weirder doing the show without him. He was probably going to be out for a few more weeks. Next week, he was going to get the staples out of his head and they wanted to keep an eye on him before he gets back into the ring. I got out of my car, got my duffle bag from the trunk, and headed into the building.
When I walked in, I saw Petey, Bobby, RVD, and Kevin all standing by the ring talking as their sons were setting up the chairs. Evan Williams, Rob Roode, Jake Szatkowski, and Scottie Nash were all boys in their preteens, who I'm sure their fathers would love to become second generation superstars one day. I didn't blame them though, I know my dad always hoped I would follow in his footsteps. I said hey to a few people as I headed to the backstage. I saw a few of the other wrestlers along with the refs and the sound guy. I nodded my head at a few as I headed into the changing room. I stripped down to my briefs and put on my shorts that looked similar to the ones that 'Chris Sabin' used to wear and put on a Styx band t-shirt since they were the band that sang my entrance music. I was lacing up my boots when I heard a knock on the door. I finished and walked out the door being met with Lacey Roode.
"Oh, there you are. Hi Ben." She said moving her hair out of her face.
"Hey Lacey. What's up?" I asked.
"Oh nothing just here for the show but I wanted to talk to you about something." She said as we started walking over near some crates away from everyone. I lifted myself up and sat on one of the crates.
"So what's up?" I asked.
"Listen. I'm sorry about yesterday. I should have explained myself yesterday instead of running off like a coward." She said.
"What the hell happened, Lacey? You've completely sent me into a 360. I've been confused. What did I do wrong?" I asked looking at her. She sighed.
"You didn't do anything, okay?" She sighed again. "My dad told me to stay away from you."
"So did mine, but am I listening to that?" I asked. She looked down.
"Well uh. That's not the only thing." She sighed again.
"Spit it out, Lacey." I said.
"I'm kind of seeing someone." I face dropped. She was 'seeing' someone. This was her excuse. Wow. Maybe she was lying though.
"Oh, you're seeing someone?" I chuckled. "Yeah sure. And who's this guy?" I asked and she looked down as I saw my friend, Ross Moore heading over our way.
"Hey babe. There you are." Ross said putting his arm around Lacey. My anger started to rise. "What's up, Ben?" Ross asked me. I couldn't believe Ross. He, Zeppelin, and Fletcher were all on the same page and knew good and damn well that I had a thing for Lacey Roode. Hell, me beating my best friend's ass should have sent a clear message.
"Nothing." I said through my teeth looking at Lacey. She nodded at me.
"Well, we'll see you later bro." Ross said walking off with his arm around Lacey.
Oh my fucking God. How in the fuck could this be happening? Justin hung out with Ross enough for him to know how I was about Lacey. Shit, he came and saw his ass in the hospital. My anger was rising above and beyond just thinking about the fact that this guy who's supposed to be one of my 'best friends' is with the girl that I like.

'Oh, Mama, I'm in fear for my life from the long arm of the law
Law man has put an end to my running and I'm so far from my home
Oh, Mama I can hear you a-cryin', you're so scared and all alone
Hangman is comin' down from the gallows and I don't have very long'

I heard the beginning of my theme song come on as I ran over to the curtain. As I thought more about this shit, my anger rose more and more. The thought of Ross having his hands on Lacey, his lips against hers, his body rocking hers. I was boiling at this point and finally it hit and lights came back on. I was so fucking pissed thinking about this shit at this point that I just felt like I couldn't function. I walked from behind the curtain with the crowd cheering as I looked around seeing Ross sitting by Bobby and Tracy with Lacey on his lap. That was all it took. My anger sent me ablaze and I started pushing and kicking over the baracades. I then went and picked up a chair from the crowd and started to destroy the sound system. Then, I walked over to the ring and started tearing at the skirt of it and kicking it.
"Stop it, son!" My mom said grabbing me and pulling me back. "Calm down, sweetie." She said as I started taking deep breaths. I looked around and noticed that most of the crowd had evacuated the building. I sighed as my mom had her arms around my torso. I looked over and saw Ross running with Lacey as they held hands then I looked over to see who was coming towards me. Bobby Roode.
"You're suspended, Harter. Oh and your daddy will pay for these damages." My anger boiled at that comment by mom held me back. Bobby smirked. "Oh, nice seeing you, Jamie." He half smiled and walked away.
I fucking hate that man.
