Here we go guys sorry a short one but the chapter I wrote for Legacy took longer than anticipated so hope you enjoy, things are about to get ugly.
RANDY
As Randy walked towards Beth's room he wondered briefly about what this would look like, if Mickie was to come around the corner and find him outside Beth's room, as he got there though he realised that he didn't care, there was no way he was going to give up his friendship with Beth just because of the way things looked.
Knocking on the door Randy opened up to Beth's call to enter and he had to pause when he saw her sitting on the sofa knees drawn up and chip resting on her arms.
"Hey." She said raising her head slightly and offering him a small smile that didn't reach her eyes and Randy walked over and sat next to her. Not saying anything and allowing the diva to unfold herself so she was now sitting next to him feet firmly on the floor.
"I saw Mickie, I tried to talk to her but she just blanked me. I mean she literally just walked away form me." Beth said a mixture of anger and sadness in her voice as Randy drew in a deep breath.
"She was pretty much the same with me, I barely got a hello before it felt like mid winter, she was so cold." Randy replied knowing his joke was falling short of its intended mark. He watched as Beth stood up and went to her vanity desk and picked up what looked like her phone.
"You know when you brought breakfast the other day, I was leaving a message on her phone, she probably heard the whole thing, I guess that didn't help. But why she wont even talk to me I just don't get it." Beth said and Randy was starting to see the problem, but it also seemed so unlike Mickie not to give her friends a chance to explain.
"What about John? She doesn't seem to have spoken to him either, I mean as far as I know he hasn't done anything to piss her off." Randy said as Beth came back over and flopped down on the sofa next to him placing her hand in her lap.
"Maybe Mickie is just angry with him by association, but I don't even know if John has had the chance to speak to Mickie, I have not seen him since lunch." Beth said as she glanced up at him but then quickly adverted her gaze as though she was embarrassed to look at him.
"Well I text him letting him know where I was, I guess he is still cutting him promo, but I'm sure he will pop over when he is done, we can ask him then." Randy said feeling the overwhelming urge to hug her but keeping his hands firmly in his lap. He hated feeling like he couldn't be her friend just because of some damm rumours, and in case he hurt Mickie's feelings, but the damage seemed to be well and truly done there. He was brought out of his thoughts by the beeping of his phone.
"John is on his way, wants to know if you want anything, I am going for a soda myself." Randy said keeping the mood light, as Beth gave him a small smile for his efforts.
"Yeah why not I could use some light refreshment." She said as Randy text John back and then placed the phone back in his pocket.
The silence didn't seem awkward though, Randy felt like it was just nice to sit here and he had to admit it was nice to have someone that you could just be yourself with.
JOHN
John had hunted Mickie out after he cut his promo. He had gotten the text from Randy but decided not to let his friend know he was done just yet. He needed to speak to Mickie first without Randy or Beth getting to suspicious.
He found her talking to Kelly, Kelly and he earned himself a scowl from Mickie, but a beaming smile from K2.
"Hey John how are you, isn't it great that Mickie is back." Kelly said as she threw her arm around Mickie who seemed to almost want to shrug it off but was maintaining her false smile.
"Yeah its great, would you mind if I had a word with her alone Kelly, have some business to attend to." John said trying to be sweet, Kelly wasn't so bad and he didn't want to be rude. Not unless he had to be that was, but Kelly just nodded keeping the smile on her perfect features and walking off down the hall.
Mickie turned on him almost immediately and the look in her eyes was enough to make him hesitate but not to back down entirely.
"Mickie what is going on? Randy and Beth, they aren't together, it was a silly rumour started by Layla and perpetuated by me. He likes you Mickie, he always has, now your pushing him away because you think he slept with Beth. Don't forget you slept with me and that didn't put you off Randy." John said keeping his voice low so that no one would over here them. Bending in close so that Mickie would not miss the truth behind his words, the diva pulled back slightly to look John in the eyes.
"Oh I'm not so sure John, breakfast in bed a second time, bit cosy I think. You know what I can take rejection, but when my best friend betrays me and the guy I like goes along with it, that I won't stand for." Mickie hissed back at him. John had no time to reply as Mickie practically ran down the hallway and around the corner.
John was left looking at an empty space, he didn't realise she knew about Beth and Randy's little morning tet a tey and he briefly wondered how she knew, not only that but what exactly it was that she had heard. No one else was aware of what happened that morning as far as he knew, was someone else making things up? Was it Beth or Randy themselves, but why would they do that? John had far more questions than answers now and he suddenly remembered that both wrestlers were waiting for him in Beth's locker room. Quickly texting to let them know he was on his way and that he was stopping by the canteen he received a reply for orders of two sodas and he headed off quickly.
Getting to Beth's room john knocked and pushed the door open to find them sat on the sofa facing each other and having a discussion about what Mickie's comeback was likely to be.
"Hey guys." John said handing them each a soda and pulling a chair round and sitting down on it cracking open his own can.
"Hey we were just wondering what Vice has got planned for Mickie, I was thinking she would be coming in to save me from a gang attack from Laycool and Vicki in my match tonight. I am scheduled to fight Layla, but who knows with those three." Beth said and John nodded his head. He realised he had forgot to ask Mickie about her return.
"Yeah sounds possible, but if it was something like that wouldn't she have to come a tell you." John said thinking out loud as both Randy and Beth nodded in agreement.
"I guess, but what else could it be, unless she is paring up with another superstar." Randy said as John watched Randy's eyes dart from Beth then down to his soda can then back again.
"How does Mickie know you guys had breakfast together the other morning?" John blurted out all of a sudden and both his friends froze and looked at him in shock.
"Umm I guess because she overheard our conversation on the phone." Beth said shyly and John couldn't suppress the anger that bubbled up under his skin.
"Oh and you don't think you could have let me in on that one, I tried to talk to her before coming here and she knew things I didn't, I couldn't defend you guys because I didn't know what she knew." John said clenching his fists tight and controlling the urge to lash out.
"Whoa mate it's ok, we don't expect you to defend us, Beth and I will talk to Mickie ourselves, I think the more people that get involved in this the more complicated it is getting." Randy said and John could not have agreed more. Not that he was going to let either of the other people in this room now exactly why.
"Look I have an hour until my match I guess we will know one way or another then won't we." Beth said finally as she stood up and brush something off her shirt and John couldn't stop but follow the movement of her hand across her chest with his eyes.
He realised Beth was looking at him and caught him staring at the last second. John was scared she was going to tell him off or make a joke about keeping his eyes above the neck, but just as her mouth opened to say something it closed again and she walked towards the back of the room and picked up her bag.
"I think I will get in the shower and get ready, you can hang out here if you want guys." The blonde said as she pulled open the door to her shower unit and John started to stand up followed by Randy.
"Think we will leave you to it." Randy called as John pulled open the door knowing he would not be able to sit in that room listening to Beth in the shower.
Randy seemed to feel the same as they made their way back to their locker rooms to get ready for their own match.
MICKIE
Mickie had found the perfect website to post her pictures on, there was no way the press and fans wouldn't get hold of this and Randy would be looking at a sever telling off if not a suspension.
It had taken Mickie most of the day to track down the man Randy had assaulted in that bar. She had gone there to speak to Matt originally, find out if any other photos had been taken, of which there had been plenty, that and one video.
It had Beth being chatted up not very well by some big guy when he got pulled away from her by and very angry looking Randy and slammed against the wall.
Mickie watched as Matt showed him how Beth had stopped Randy from hitting him and how he had so many people ask to see the video he was going to upload it on YouTube.
Mickie has dissuaded him, she explained that because they were famous he would have to get their permission, a lie but it seemed to work. Matt was young and obviously fancied her and Mickie also managed to get the man in the video's name from him.
It had taken her the rest of the day to track Dale Floyd down, and when she did, she was not surprised Beth had looked like she had wanted to kill him. The guy was creepy, he smelt like tar and stale smoke, but when Mickie had mentioned sewing for what Randy had done to him the guys attitude changed quickly.
Mickie gave Dale Vince's phone number but told him not to contact him until tomorrow as tonight was a big PPV and he wouldn't answer. Once that was agreed upon Mickie had taken her leave. She had arrived at the area with two hours to spear and she kicked that off by uploading Matt's video on to YouTube.
John had found her talking to Kelly, she wasn't pleased to see him, but she wasn't nervous any more either and Mickie liked that feeling of power that came with her finally being in control of the situation. She was caught off guard however when he had asked her how she knew about Randy and Beth's breakfast together. He seemed genuinely upset and Mickie suspected it was because he was also believed that something was going on he just didn't know for sure. It was like both their uncertainness was keeping the real hatred at bay, but now John's anger had confirmed what she had thought all along Mickie had to get out of there.
Tears fell down her face even though she was willing them away with all her might, she streaked passed other diva's and superstars and didn't speak to any of them, pushing open the door to her new locker room she collapsed in to the welcoming arms of her new friends.
BETH
Coming down the ramp to the sounds of cheers was still pretty new to Beth, she had to admit she liked to smile at the crown for once. Laycool were already standing in the ring and Beth gave them a rye smile as she sat on the turn buckle and encouraged the crown to cheer louder.
Obliging her and clapping harder followed by some wolf whistles, Beth somersaulted backwards and landed on the matt. Turning she eyed her opponent, then looked behind her to see and grinning Vicki and Beth had to suppress a grimace.
Michelle had gotten out of the ring and Beth was circling Layla, the diva had much improved in the last few months and Beth was not going to take her lightly. Not to mention the fact that she had to people on the outside supporting her.
Beth had the upper hand, she had just sent Layla head first in to the matt with a glamishhammer and she was beckoning her opponent back to her feet when she felt a smack from behind. Clutching the back of her head Beth turned to find Vicki with some form of spray in her hand.
Beth ducked quickly realising it was meant for her eyes she managed to avoid that painful experience again but not the kick to her head from Layla.
Hitting the matt hard Beth wondered why the ref had not rang the bell at Vicki's interference but realised as she got up shakily but quickly that Michelle had distracted him.
Layla kicked again but this time Beth grabbed her leg, pulling he on to her back once more and then picking her up for the back breaker.
Knowing she needed to do this quickly Beth set Layla up for the Glamslamm when she heard a huge cheer. Beth did not have time to see who it was, it was probably Mickie coming down but this seemed like unusual timing, she was winning. Beth realised too late that Mickie was no here to help her. The blinding pain in the backs of her knees took her and Layla down. Beth heard the bell ring and the crows cheers turn to boos, as she looked up into the lights to see Mickie holding her hands high with the full team of Laycool.
Oh no what have I gone and done now? Sorry for this guys I do have a master plan believe me.
How am I doing with this character thing anyway, do I have enough variation that you can tell them apart. Who is you favourite character, and why and which character should I write more of?
Let me know as writing one story from four different view points seemed noble and interesting when I started this but try it its damm hard, so some info on how I am doing would be wonderful.
Thanks for reading.
