Chapter.9
April 15th
As Alberto del Rio drove out in his car, Andy watched from her spot almost in tears. Her best friend would be officially leaving and it was all she could do to not scream and cry. Del Rio's speech went on for what seemed like hours, until Theodore Long came out. She liked the old man, he reminded her of her father.
"Our main event tonight, a twenty man battle royal!" She smiled and went back to looking for the person she wanted to see the most. She walked- almost skipped- to the Superstars locker room. She almost ran smack into Glen, if he hadn't stopped her by her arms.
"Hey, you okay there?" She looked up at the giant and nodded. "Then why the skipping and jumping around? Y'know Easter isn't for another two weeks right?" She rolled her eyes.
"Yes, yes I do. And for your information it is an almost good day." She put her hands on her hips.
The big red monster nodded, "Aside from your ribs and Adam leaving." She nodded and said bye as he walked on. Oscar bounded out after him and stopped her fully.
"Are you really thinking of going in there, Niña?" She crossed her arms.
"No, Oscar, I would never do such a thing." They both smiled at each other.
"I really would not go in there right now, and Adam I am pretty sure isn't in there either. Nor is your blonde lover." She smacked his arm and rolled her eyes. "Now that is just mean."
She smiled, "Go get ready for your match superstar."
Andy paced as she listened to the screaming crowd. Adam's goodbye montage came on and she bit back tears. She watched as he walked down the corridor and was welcomed by clapping…And the Big Red Monster, who shook his hand. He smiled at her and she gave a half one. A commercial came on quickly and she ran to him, wrapping her arms around his shoulders.
"You can't go." She whispered and fought tears.
"Maybe you'll get lucky and I won't have to." She smiled and they hugged for a few minutes. "Hey, remember I'm still sticking around for a few more weeks. I'll just be another fan in the crowd this time." She smiled and let him go as his que came. He walked out and the crowd was going crazier than they had ever had. She watched along with Jay, who came up behind her two minutes after Adam had went out. A few more superstars, including Glen, Oscar, Drew, and Rosa, watched with them.
Adam smiled at the crowd and they all clapped. "I will never get tired of that." He looked down, "For those of you who may have missed it, I am being forced to retire." The crowd booed and Andy had to agree. She felt an arm wrap around her waist and looked up at John. He gave her a knowing look and she smiled. As Adam recalled some of his infamous matches, the crowd of superstars backstage laughed. "No matter what, every time that I was going into a match like….No matter what, when I came down with my music playing, which I may be biased, is the coolest music in the WWE," They all agreed. He went on and then the fun part was soon to come. The crowd chanted, 'Thank you Edge' and the Rated R Superstar declared he was going to do his entrance one more time. Andy was all but jumping if John wasn't holding onto her. AlterBridge blasted the familiar song and fireworks came at Adam's command. As Booker T and Michael Cole said how worthy Adam was, Andy got ready. John handed her the shirt she was going to wear, willingly for once. She slipped it over her attire and waited until he had finished explaining the probability of the ladder match. Just thinking of that outcome made Andy winced. "I'm not much of a suit guy but I thought if I was going out, might as well go out in style." She laughed and waited a few more minutes. Adam pointed out his mother and complimented her. 'Thank you Mom' the crowd chanted and Adam went on. Her que came when Adam out the WWE World Heavy Weight Championship on the mat.
"Hey Edge," She said walking out holding a mic, "Mind if I say something?" He looked at her and smiled. "I am really sorry for interrupting but there is just one thing I hafta say." She walked in the light more and the spotlight shone on her 'Edgehead' shirt. "You have inspired so many young superstars like myself and I think you deserve so much more than just beating Del Rio." The crowd laughed and clapped. "So how many of you think we should thank him properly?" The crowd clapped. "Thank you Edge, thank you Edge." The crowd joined in as Andy put down her mic and walked towards the mat. She climbed in and they embraced.
"Thank you." He whispered and she nodded. They both walked out together and the crowd cheered.
"For once, I agree with Carson." Michael Cole said clapping along. Only a few minutes later, was Barbie, Kelly Kelly, and Layla's match. The blonde hadn't spoken even a syllable to Andy and she's rather keep it that way. As Barbie made her way to the ring, Andy couldn't help feel sorry for her competitor. Layla and Michelle walked out together but after a three count, Michelle seemed to no longer want to work with Layla. Andy couldn't help but smile as the dynamic duo was crumbling. She didn't have much to do for a few more minutes and was feeling tired more than everything.
A recap of WrestleMania came and the other superstars commenting on the Undertaker and Triple H's match. Andy smiled at Bug Show's comment.
"Zeus and Hades fighting on Mt. Olympus." She watched the clips and flinched some as Triple H grabbed a sledgehammer. But he ended up in The Hells Gate. The pain on her idol's face was obvious and she could feel her stomach sink a little when he didn't get up. She hadn't been able to attend nor watch WrestleMania because of having to go through training with Eve.
Speaking of the Diva, Eve walked up behind Andy and the two shared a smile. "So how is Ms. Carson right now?" Andy laughed and rolled her eyes as they walked to an empty bench.
She ran her hand through her hair, "If only I could make up my mind about things." She sighed and the older Diva looked at her skeptically. "I still have an opportunity to take a break because of my injury, or I can continue and have checkups every week for it, or –and I really think I am going to consider this- agree to almost any plot/sketch they want me to do to avoid further injury." Eve nodded and took the new Divas hand.
"Do what you want, but not now since your lover is heading this way." Andy looked up to John Cena and swatted Eve's hand. "Don't be cruel."
"Yeah, yeah." She stood and walked to John. "Hey." He smiled down at her.
"And how are you, this fine evening?"
She shrugged, "You should be in the match." She nodded to the ongoing match. The Twenty Man Battle Royal continued and she watched Jay get brutalized. Paul (Big Show) eliminated Ezekiel Jackson and himself in one move. As she watched she couldn't help but hope Jay won. She yawned into her arm and blinked.
"Tired?" She nodded. "Hmm….Do you think you have to for the whole thing?" She thought for a minute.
"Yeah I guess moral support and all." They both sighed and watched the one going match. It came down to the final two and Jay quickly won. Andy would have jumped up when he walked back up the ramp but she was too tired and half asleep. She barely noticed when he and Adam embraced her.
