Teddy
I couldn't even believe how this night was turning out. I just wanted a nice quiet night out with my best friend and boyfriend. I could have even dealt with having to be at a wrestling event since I didn't have to watch it. I could've even spent the whole night making sure I didn't run into Punk but nope, not in the cards for me. I was stuck at a wrestling event that my parents had shown up at, looking for me, because to be honest I avoided all my mom's calls. Then while looking for my parents so I could get rid of them, I ran into Punk and then Mom found me while talking to Punk and just like that, my cover was blown. To Punk of all people.
At first I was confused as to why he covered for me. I'm not ashamed of Justin or anything, really I'm not but if my parents found out I was dating a wrestler they would either flip out because he's a wrestler or go on some huge PR tour announcing it and really, I would prefer neither of those happening. I have no idea how Justin would react if he found out the truth about me, if he knew who my parents were.
I guess I should back up, huh? Obviously, it's not hard to figure out who my parents are, the legendary Oscar winning actor Eric Mitchell and the multi Grammy award winner Melodi Heart. They were the power couple of Hollywood, ranking right up there with the likes of Brad and Angelina, except without all the adopted kids in tow. Nope, there was just me, only child Theophania Gardenia Heart Mitchell. I hadn't been safe from the stupid celebrity baby names, not by a long shot so I went by Teddy and threatened anyone who would call me anything else.
I wasn't planned, at all. My parents had just gotten married and Mom was in the middle of a huge tour when she found out about me. She finished the tour before announcing it to the world though and shocked everyone when I arrived just a few months later. She had gone her whole tour without showing and no one had a clue, not even my dad, until it was done.
Then I arrived, got stuck with a stupid name and grew up in the spotlight. Once in a while I went on tour with mom or on set with Dad and when I wasn't, I was at home being raised by an Au Pair. Seriously, mom got me a French nanny and I grew up learning French and English.
When my parents were home, Mom started me in modelling and by the time I was in high school, I was walking the runways of Paris and Milan and since then, I had been featured in various fashion campaigns, on the cover of god knows how many magazines, guest spots on talk shows and TV shows, the Disney Channel is still my favorite to this day, and the media and world saw me as one of the few Hollywood kids who had their heads on straight.
Then one day I decided I wanted to go to college and be a normal girl, the next thing I knew, I was in some rehab center looking nothing like Teddy Mitchell, child of America's Sweetheart's. My parents pulled me from college, had me dropped off in the dead of night under a different name so no one would know, and with my natural hair color and the hack job on my hair, as well as the anorexic look I now had, no one questioned it, no one figured it out.
Until the day I met CM Punk.
I blame him totally. None of this would have ever happened if he had just left after that day when he was a guest speaker. So it was all his fault.
"Teddy, is your eye twitching?" Marley asked, looking worried.
"Not at all." I said through clenched teeth. "A word please?"
I grabbed her hand and pulled her out to the hallway, glaring at Punk as I did so and was met only with a smirk.
"I can explain." Were the first words out of Marley's mouth.
"I hope so." I cried. "You can have your choice of like, any guy and you choose Punk?"
"He blackmailed me."
"What?" I exploded, already turning back to the room. "I'm gonna kill him. Then I'm going to bring him back to life so I can find a more inventive way to kill him."
"No." Marley cried, grabbing my arm. "If I don't, he's going to spill your story."
This stopped me short and I turned back to her, my already impossible wide eyes becoming even wider. "He's blackmailing you, over my secret?"
She nodded and I could feel my face flushing in anger. "Fuck my secret. Nothing is worth that. Not my anonymity, nothing."
"It's okay." She assured me.
"No, it's not."
"Teddy, please." She pleaded with me. "You've done so much for me, let me at least help you out."
I tilted my head to the side as I looked at her. "Oh my god, you want to go out with him."
A blush crept up her face as she shook her head. "No, I just don't want you to ruin everything you worked for because of him."
She was lying to me. I could totally see it but why? Perhaps because she knew how much I despised Punk?
"Fine." I relented. "But if he hurts you in any way, shape or form, I will kick him in the nuts so hard they'll come out of his mouth,"
She made a face at that. "You know, for someone who was raised all upper class and posh, you have the worst sailor mouth in the world."
I grinned at her just as Justin's door opened and Punk stuck his head out.
"You ladies get it all worked out?"
My grin dropped as my eyes narrowed and I stepped right up to him. "You do anything and I mean anything at all, you will be sorry."
"What?" He sarcastically asked. "Daddy going to hire someone to take care of me?"
"Are you stupid?" I asked him. "I'm rich, not in the fucking Mafia. No, you hurt her and I will take care of you myself."
"Throw temper tantrums at me? Wouldn't that ruin your manicure?"
"No dipshit. I will rip off your arm, stick it up your ass and make a popsicle out of you."
I continued to glare at him but instead of doing the same, his eyes seemed to light up with, dare I say, amusement? Before I knew it, he threw his head back and burst into laughter and I had to admit, he had a nice laugh, and when he wasn't scowling, he really wasn't that bad looking.
"What?" I snapped.
"Oh, Theophania, that has got to be the most amusing thing you ever said and if not for the fact that you're such a bitch, I'd almost like you for that."
"Go die in a fire."
He continued to chuckle as I pushed past him and into the room, moving to sit on Justin's lap.
"You okay?" Justin asked, putting his arms around me.
I nodded. "Even if my best friend is going on a date with thee biggest asshole in the world."
"We don't have to double date you know."
"Like I'm stupid enough to leave her alone with him."
Justin shook his head. "Teddy, I know you don't like him but he's really not all that bad, he won't treat her bad."
I leaned away to look down at him, an incredulous look on my face. "Please be kidding."
"No, I'm not. Punk comes off as an asshole, but he knows how to treat women."
"And what am I?" I asked in disbelief.
"Well, actually-" Punk started, who was now back in the room with Marley.
"You even think about answering that, I will rip out your spleen and feed it to you."
He chuckled again and Justin only looked at me with a raised eyebrow.
"What?" I snapped.
"Since when did you get so violent?" He asked me.
"Since I've had to spend so much time in the company CM I think I'm supercool but am actually really lame Punk."
"Really? All those violent threats and that's the best insult you can do?" Punk asked in disbelief. "Theophania, you break my heart."
"Don't. Call. Me. That." I ground out through clenched teeth.
"Theophania?" Justin asked in confusion.
"What?" Punk asked in mock surprise. "She hasn't told you her full name? She's told me."
My eyes narrowed at him because I couldn't deny it without coming up with some other story and I was honestly so pissed off that my mind just wouldn't work.
"No, she hasn't?" Justin replied sounding hurt.
I glared at Punk, trying my hardest to kill him in every imaginable way possible with my eyes alone.
"It slipped out." I tried to explain.
"By me." Marley spoke up. "I said it and I'm so sorry Teddy, I know you didn't want anyone to know."
"It's fine." I reassured her, giving her a grateful look. "Justin, it's no big deal, I hate my real name so I don't tell anyone. Marley just knows, because we live together."
"Fine." Justin said, moving me off his lap. "I have a tag match, I'll talk to you later."
He left the room and I could tell by his demeanor that he wasn't too happy with me. When he was gone I stood up and walked over to Punk, lifting my hand and slapping him across the cheek. His head whipped to the side and when it slowly turned back his face was red with rage.
"You stupid cunt." He hissed.
"Go fuck yourself." I spat at him. "Stop trying to ruin my life or I will ruin yours and I will succeed. Even if that means I have to out myself to the world, I will end you and your career."
"Teddy." Marley softly said.
I held up a hand to stop her. "Don't. Just don't."
"But you can't possibly try to ruin Punk's career."
I turned to look at her, my jaw dropped in disbelief. "Have you not seen what he's done to me?"
"You both need to stop doing this stuff to each other."
I took a deep breath to control the rage I was feeling as I turned back to Punk, a sneer now filling my features. "I stand by what I say and Marley, maybe you should get a ride home from your new boyfriend."
I stepped past them and out the door, slamming it as I left, beyond mad at what had just gone down. I stomped down to the room I told Mom I would meet her and Daddy at and entered without knocking, completely missing the camera that was trained on the door.
"Daddy." I cried, running across the room and throwing myself in his arms. He hugged me tight, placing a kiss on top of my head.
"Let me get a look at you Teddy Bear." He held me out at arm's length, looking me over. "Well now, you look so good my little Teddy Bear."
"Thank you Daddy. Why are you here?"
"Well when your old Nanny called saying where she saw you, it upset your mother greatly."
"Daddy! It's just wrestling."
"It's a dangerous place to be."
"And since you've been ignoring all our calls, we had no choice." My mother put in with a superior tone.
I rolled my eyes before exchanging a look with Daddy, not bothering to correct her. I was ignoring her calls, not Daddy's.
"You've had your fun, Theophania, it's time to come home."
I groaned. "Mom, I'm not out having fun, I'm trying to live my life."
"And you can do that at home. Do you have any idea how many people are trying to book you right now? Especially with you being MIA, everyone wants you on their shows, or on their magazine covers."
"I don't care." I cried. "Mom, I don't want to do that, I want to live my own life, for the first time in my life, I'm doing that."
"Don't you mean second? And really, look at how well the first time turned out."
I froze at what she was saying, briefly at a loss of words.
"Mel, dear-" Daddy tried to diffuse the fight but mom stood up, brushing him off.
"No, Eric. She wanted to go live her life and we already let her do that and look where she ended up, addicted to god knows what."
I shook myself out of my stupor and began to slowly clap my hands, causing both my parents to look at me in confusion.
"Wow Mom, look at you. Actually admitting I had a problem, you know that's the first step to recovery, right?"
"Don't you dare talk to me about that." Mom hissed. "You're the one with the problem."
I rolled my eyes at her. "Don't even. You think I don't know the whole history about the great Melodi Heart? You were in my shoes before Daddy, weren't you?"
"I went to recover for exhaustion." She replied in a haughty tone.
"Don't lie to me." I snapped. "Don't sit there and lie to me and try to pretend you're better than me."
"Watch your mouth, young lady."
"Or what? You'll tell a Nanny to deal with me?"
"Eric." Mom began to whine.
Daddy only shook his head. He completely doted on my Mother but I was the apple of his eye. "Mel, love, I told you Teddy Bear was completely fine and to let her find her own way."
"You're taking her side?" She asked, actually stamping her foot in a fit of anger.
"No, Dear, this isn't about sides. Teddy Bear may have her demons but you cannot hold it against her when you once fought those same demons. She is enjoying her life right now and we will let her enjoy her life and you will still not tell the press where she is."
"Fine." She huffed, moving forward to place a kiss on my cheek. "Call more often Theophania."
I leaned forward and kissed her cheek. "Of course, Mom. And thank you for letting me do this."
"Only because of your Father." She told me with a stern look. "Eric, I'll meet you in the limo."
She left and I rushed once more into my Daddy's arms. "Thank you Daddy."
"Your Mother is just upset that despite all we tried, you went down that same path."
"She acts like I really have been away at a Beach House. Today was the first time she ever talked about my problem."
Daddy sighed. "She was only ever scared for you Teddy Bear. That's why I let her talk me into coming here."
"Scared for me? Were you not just here?"
"You know how your Mother is. No one wants to see their child go through what you did."
I crossed my arms under my chest as I scowled. "Of course not, that's why neither of you were there because then you wouldn't have to see me go through it."
"That's not fair."
"Yes it is." I exploded. "I get the whole wanting to keep it quiet, I get the whole me being someone else so as not to draw bad press and have the paparazzi deter my recovery, but you could've called. You could have written but I was in there all that time and heard nothing from either of you."
I sighed, leaning up to give Daddy a kiss on the cheek. "I love you both but do you ever wonder why you hear so little of me? It's because you weren't there when I needed you. Neither of you were. Please, I have friends to get back to here and no one knows who I am. I want to keep it that way."
Daddy gave me a big hug, smoothing down my hair before leaning down to kiss me on the forehead. "I am sorry Teddy Bear. It might not count for much, but I truly am. You enjoy yourself and when you're ready, introduce us to that new man in your life."
I gave him a quizzical look. "How did you..."
"Know? A father knows everything. I love you Teddy Bear."
"I love you too Daddy." I gave him another kiss before opening the door and giving a quick look around before leaving.
