Time Stamp: 10/2/15
A/N: I will get to Dean meeting Miranda later.
Summary: Miranda decides to tell Dylan, Alex, and Blake that she's Paige's cousin. She expected laughter, disbelief, and even mockery. She didn't expect their reactions, or lack of reactions. The guys end up explaining everything to her.
Miranda felt guilty for a lot of things, for one, when she was thirteen, she decided to test drive her parents' new car, while her parents slept. She took it to the gas station down the block. She opened the door, but hit it into a pole, which she swore popped up of the freaking ground. She took the car home and found a shopping cart a few blocks away. She put the shopping car in front of the door and snuck back into the house, to wait till morning came. Her parents never knew.
Another time, when her fourteenth birthday came, she went to school, but ditched so she can go to the movie theater with her boyfriend. They had snuck into three movies and then headed back to school before the end of the school. She had her friends take notes for her and her parents never found out.
Another thing she felt guilty was for being curious and smoking a cigarette at seven years old. She never really told anyone and she never had the urge to smoke a cigarette again. Her ex-friend was smoking and she told her to do it. Just to try.
The last thing she felt guilty was for quitting the wrestling school that her parents had signed her up for. Her parents were hoping that she might enjoy it, but she couldn't find it in herself to care for wrestling. Yes, her parents were sad, but they respected her decision on leaving the school.
This time she was feeling guilty for not telling her friends about the fact that she was Paige's cousin, you know, a Diva from WWE.
Dylan and Alex were looking at something on Alex's phone. She wasn't sure what they were looking at and Blake was eating a slice of rip-off pizza. Really, that pizza was reheated and was $1.50 just for one slice.
Miranda walked up and placed her hand on Blake's shoulder. He looked at her and she leaned her face closer to his. She looked in his eyes, "You have pretty eyes." She sat down on the grass next to Alex and leaned over to see what they were doing.
They were watching Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island for some reason. She decided to let the couple enjoy their movie.
Miranda opened her package of peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. "So…I got to thinking."
"That's not a good sign," Alex said.
Miranda smacked his shoulder, "Jackass."
"You know it. Blake knows it. Dylan knows it. I know it," Alex replied.
"Yup," Dylan said. "He insulted Blake last year."
"What did he say?" Miranda asked, confused.
"Yeah called Blake a…uh…'suicidal weirdo,'" Dylan said. "I slapped him."
Miranda looked confused, "Suicidal?"
Blake held out his arm and motioned to the scars. "I used to cut myself and I attempted suicide last year in my cousin's bathroom." Miranda looked at the scars on Blake's arm and he held his other arm, to show his other scars. "In March, I stopped wearing long sleeved shirts."
Miranda never really noticed the scars since she never noticed people's arms. "Now that it's getting colder, you're going to wear long sleeved shirts or a jacket?"
Blake shrugged, "Maybe, as long as Dylan and Alex don't freak out over it."
"Maybe, maybe not," Dylan replied.
"When did you start?" Miranda asked, a little stunned, "I mean, cutting yourself?" She mentally slapped herself for sounding so rude. She noticed Dylan and Alex giving her weird looks.
"When I was eleven," Blake said.
"Oh," Miranda said.
"I attempted suicide at thirteen, three days before I turned fourteen," Blake said.
Dylan looked at Blake, "Hey, you dyed orange streaks in your hair." Dylan pouted at the thought, "That's my job."
Miranda looked confused, "What?"
"I'm the one that dyes the streaks in Blake's hair," Dylan replied. He sounded upset at the thought, "So Christina dyed streaks in Blake's hair then."
Blake stared, "Are you really upset that my mom dyed streaks in my hair instead of you?"
"Yes," Dylan replied.
"I was going to call you, but Mom decided she wanted to apologize for making me uncomfortable," Blake replied. That talk will forever live in his memories.
"Did she try to twerk again?" Alex asked. Dylan and Blake shuddered.
"No," Blake stated. "No. She decided to give me the 'talk' for some reason. Not even Dean knows why."
Dylan looked confused, "That's it?"
Miranda always felt a little left out when the guys have these kinds of talks, but it kind of helps give her perspectives on what they like or talk about. She needed to figure out what to give them for Christmas and their birthdays.
"No," Blake said. "She decided to give me a condom and said 'wear this when your mind on people.'"
Miranda was confused on what he meant by 'changing his mind on people.' Apparently Dylan and Alex knew what that meant, when they started laughing. "Change your mind on people?"
"I don't…have any sort of attraction to anyone," Blake said. "I see everyone as friends, nothing more."
Miranda looked confused and nodded anyway, "Oh…Kay." She never heard of anything about not having any attraction to anyone.
"Yeah," Blake said. They went back to a silence.
"You know, my cousin works for WWE," Miranda said. Dylan and Alex just grunted a response. Blake acted as if he didn't hear her and she wasn't expecting that. She expected scoffs of disbelief and an accusation of lying. "She is a Diva you know. She goes by Paige."
"That's nice," Dylan replied. He went back to watching the movie.
"Okay." Blake replied and Alex sneezed in response.
"Bless you," Dylan stated.
Alex replied, "Thanks."
"That's it?" Miranda asked, in disbelief.
"Thank you, Dylan?" Alex asked, wondering if she was talking to him.
Blake looked at her, "What do you want us to say?"
Miranda shrugged, "Call me a liar. Accuse me of making stuff up. I don't know."
Blake shrugged, "My cousin is Dean Ambrose."
Miranda knew that Blake looked familiar, "Oh. Paige wants to adopt you for some reason."
"I look like her 'future son.'" Blake explained, using air quotes. "It kind of freaks me out."
"That's a shock," Miranda said. Blake wasn't sure if she was being sarcastic.
Blake thought about it. "She proposed to Dean as a way to adopt me."
Miranda grabbed a purple strand of hair, "That sounds like something she would do."
The bell rang and the four gathered their things to head to their next class.
A/N: My old high school sold one slice of Domino's Pizza for $1.50. It tasted reheated and I called it rip-off pizza. It had been $1.25 but they raised the price for some reason.
