I was walking around. I didn't know what to do. I didn't want Cody with someone who was going to kiss one of his friends. That's just not right at all. I was just walking when I bumped into something hard and fell flat on my ass.
"Oh man im really sorry" I heard someone say and a hand out to help me. He pulled me up and I was looking into the gorgeous blue eyes…of Cody. He still had his hand in mine. I didn't want him to pull away..
"Thanks I guess" I said looking at the ground. This was the first time id talk to him since he said that horrible thing to me.
"Yeah well just be careful next time hey Stace" He didn't sound happy but he didn't sound angry either.
"Yeah I suppose I better be careful.. I erm I got to go meet John" He didn't look happy when I mentioned John.
"Have fun…" He whispered and I just caught it. I turned and bumped into someone else. Someone small this time.
"Oh hey.. Stacey isn't it?" Oh it was Lucy. That cheating little bitch.
"Yeah…" I couldn't even stand to be in the presence of this woman.
"You wouldn't have happened to see Cody ?" She smiled. How could she even do what shes done to Cody? He's one of the most amazing people ive met. Well when we're not arguing that is.
"Yeah I just spoke to him around there" She smiled at me and walked away. I decided to go find someone to talk to.. I need to ask someone's advice on this one. Not John cos he'd go mental. Not Randy cos he could be an insensitive little bastard. So I decided on Ted.
I walked into Legacy's locker room to find him there I went and sat down next to him. He was getting ready for his match and just had his wrestling trunks and legacy t-shirt on.
"Teddy there's no one else here is there?" He smiled at me and shook his head. "I really need to talk to you about something and I cant go to John cos well its about Cody" I sighed. Ted looked at me confused.
"So John doesn't like you talking about Cody?" I nodded.
"Yeah something like that. He seems to think there was something between us before I got with him.." I looked away when I saw Ted smirk.
"Oh don't try and hide it from me Stace I used to see the way you looked at Cody. You liked him didn't you?" He was smirking again. Oh Ted stop it before I wipe that smirk from your face..
"Im not here to talk about if I liked Cody or not. I'm here to talk about Cody's so called girlfriend.." Ted again looked confused.
"What about her?" I sighed and shook my head.
"I know something.. I cant tell anyone Ted. I cant tell Cody.. It'd break his heart. I know how happy he is with her. Ive seen the way he looks at her. I cant be the one to do that to him Teddy I just cant" I really didn't want to do that to Cody. I still cared about him of course. Hes one of my best friends. I don't want to see him hurt.
"What are you talking about your making no sense?" Ted looked at me more confused than ever now. I looked him in the eyes and sighed.
"Maryse came to my room last night crying her eyes out" I took a breath. "She saw Mike kissing another girl" I didn't know if I was doing the right thing here but I had to tell someone. I couldn't keep this all to myself.
"Well what does all this have to do with Cody and Lucy?"
"I just spoke to Mike. And made him tell me who the girl was…and.. It was Lucy" I looked at the ground then up at Ted. "Lucy kissed Mike therefore she cheated on Cody" I heard Ted gasp.
"What? No way! Are you serious?" I nodded my head. "Well does Cody know?" I again shook my head.
"I just saw him before I came in here and I saw Lucy too.. I couldn't tell him Ted. I really think someone should!" Ted put his arm around me.
"You do really care for Cody don't you?" Well duh!
"Of course I do. Hes one of my best friends just like you, Randy and John for a matter of fact. I don't want to see him get hurt" I heard Ted sigh. "He wont believe me if I tell him anyway Ted. We're in this massive argument at the moment and well he'll think im trying to make things worse" That was probably true.
"Well erm okay" He rubbed his forehead. "How about this? We tell him together.. After the show. We'll get him alone and we'll tell him. We'll drag Mike's ass in here if we have to and make him admit it. Hell we'll even get that cow Lucy in and you can give her an ass whooping till she admits it" I laughed.
"Okay that's a deal then Teddy!" I was actually shitting myself.. But it had to be done right?
*****
I was in Johns locker room giving him a kiss before his match.
"Hmm Stace.. Can I screw the match and just get sexy with you please?" I laughed.
"John you're a fucking sex freak. Im pretty sure there's thousands of fans out there who only came to see you so yeah its essential you go out there and do what you do best" He pouted at me and I laughed. He kissed me again. I heard the door open and someone make a gagging sound.
"Ew man don't need to see that at all. If I wanted to id go buy porn.." Randy Orton you sicko! I pulled away from John and wiped the lip gloss from his lips. I walked over to Randy and smacked him up the head.
"You're a sicko do you know that?" He smirked at me. That cocky Randy Orton smirk. You all know which one im talking about.
"I do know that I also know that at one point you wanted to get jiggy with this sicko.." I give him another smack.
"Dude that's my girlfriend now! I don't need to reminisce about the time you and her had a making out session in the corridor. Not cool man!" John moaned from the other side of the room.
"Oh yeah what about when she kissed Dibiase?" Randy laughed and I smacked him again. "Ow"
"Ugh I don't need reminding about that either.. Is there anyone you havent kissed baby girl?" John joked.
"Do we really have to talk about the people ive kissed or havent kissed? Its not a topic I want to carry on with thank you very much" I crossed my arms and gave them both a stern look. Randy gave me a hug and a kiss on the cheek.
"I got to go now! John you coming?" Randy looked at John and I shook my head at John to tell him I needed to talk to him..
"Yeah buddy just give me like 5 mins." Randy walked away and John came and stood in front of me. "What's up?"
"After the show im going to be doing something with Ted" I saw him raise his eyebrows at me. " No not like that.. Oh ill just bloody tell you its easier. Me and Ted are going to be having a conversation with Cody" I bit my lip and looked at him and heard him groan.
"Baby don't do that you know it turns me on. And okay that's fine with me.. I thought you weren't talking to Cody anyway?" I sighed.
"Im not but this needs to be done.. You trust me right?" He nodded. I gave him a kiss and he went out to meet Randy for their match. I was now dreading the end of the show…
*****
I was sat in catering. Yeah I know again im always here.. I saw Ted walk in with a serious look on his face. He was properly dressed now.
"Cody's in the locker room. Ive managed to get Randy to go into John's locker room to get dressed. Are you ready?" He sounded really serious. I nodded and stood up and followed Ted out. Oh man. What's Cody going to think? He's probably going to hate more than he already does. Before I knew it we were in the locker room and Cody was looking at me.
"What's she doing here?" He looked at me icily. Oh nice. I thought we'd gotten over this.. Ted answered for me.
"Dude be nice okay? She's here because she- wait no we've got something we need to talk to you about" Cody looked at me and looked at Ted then nodded.
"Well what is it?"
It was now or never..
"Look Cody I know how this is going to sound and believe me I don't want to be the one who has to do this to you but…" I couldn't carry it on. I looked at Ted and he understood.
"Dude Lucy kissed Mike.." I saw Cody's face drop. He looked at me then laughed.
"Yeah im sure she did. Is this something you've heard from her" He pointed at me. "Its obviously a load of bullshit. Shes obviously jealous of Lucy and I so she's making pathetic little lies up now.." He could be so horrible to me sometimes..
"Dude I said be nice.. Shes not lying it's the truth!" I heard Ted say. Cody came and stood right in front of me. My eyes widened I didn't know what to do.
"Oh please Ted. Its obvious Stacey had or maybe she still does have a thing for me! That's why she overreacted about the whole Lucy thing in the first place" I looked into his eyes then looked away. Why was he been so horrible. I took a breath.
"What? Like you overreacted about the whole me not saying goodbye thing! I don't understand why your been so horrible to me. Why the hell would I lie about something like this? Do you really think I want to be the one to take something away from you that makes you happy? I care about you Cody more than you care to realise and your been an horrible pathetic little boy about all this. So do me a favour please and just listen to what Ted and I are trying to tell you!" I was yelling at him now. It hit a nerve when he said I had a thing for him. I did but I didn't think he knew.. I saw Cody look at Ted.
"Are you been serious about the whole thing? Lucy did actually kiss Mike? Your not lying to me?" Ted shook his head and Cody looked back at me.
"W-Why didn't you tell me earlier when you bumped into me?" I looked at the ground.
"I couldn't. I knew you'd react like this. You'd never believe me in a million years. That's why I told Ted. I wanted you to hear it from someone you'd actually trust.." He sighed then took a step back.
"Yeah your right.. I would never have believed you. Just like how I don't believe that you have feelings for John!" Oh not this again.
"I will have you know Runnels. Im the happiest ive been in ages since ive been with John. He's the most amazing boyfriend ive ever had" I knew this was a bad idea. I should have never have said anything..
"Yeah im sure" He rolled his eyes.
"Just because your girlfriend goes and kisses people behind your back doesn't mean that nobody else can be happy! You need to grow up Cody seriously" I shouted at him and he got right in my face again.
"My relationship has nothing to do with you understand? How dare you tell me to grow up? Ever since you got back here all you've done is cause trouble for me so why don't you just do us all a favour hop your backside onto a plane and get back to England where you belong" I felt tears fall down my face and then I did the only thing I could think of… I slapped Cody across the face.
"You Cody Runnels have done nothing but cause me heartache and upset me since I got here. I don't know what your problem is but your not the Cody I knew before. The Cody I knew would never treat his best friend the way you've been treating me. He would never say the things you've said to me. He would never… not trust me when I tell him his girlfriends playing around behind his back. I want my old Cody back and until I get him I cant be around you anymore" I was crying so much I looked at Cody holding his face where I slapped him and he looked sad. Really sad. Ted came over to me and I shrugged him off. "It's okay Ted.. Ill be fine I swear…" I walked out of the locker room and outside.
*****
I was sat outside on a bench outside the arena. It was raining and I was still crying. I was soaking wet with only my t-shirt and shorts on. I heard my phone ring. It was John.
"Baby girl where are you? Is everything okay?" I sobbed into the phone. I shook my head even though I knew he couldn't see it.
"Why does he hate me John?" I heard him sigh. He knew who I meant.
"Things not go too well then? I had a text from Ted telling me everything and that he couldn't find you. Cody doesn't hate you babe. How could anyone hate you? It's a lot for him to take in his girlfriend cheating on him. Just give him time. I hate hearing you cry Stace" He sighed. I felt someone sit next to me.
"I'll be fine John I swear I just need to be on my own you know? I promise ill call you the minute im sorted.." I still hadn't looked to see who was sat next to me.
"Okay baby. I love you.." I smiled slightly.
"Yeah.. You too" I hung up the phone. I still couldn't say I love you to him. Well I could but I didn't mean it in the way he meant it. He was in love with me. I knew that cos he'd tell me all the time. I was sat sniffling and I still hadn't looked to see who was sat next to me. Whoever it was smelled really nice and had a jacket in there hands. I turned to look.
"What? Come to have another go at me?" I said to him. It was meant to sound menacing but nothing sounds right when your crying.
"I came to find you and give you this jacket. Ted and I have been going frantic. We had no idea where you were.." Cody looked at me and put the jacket around my shoulders.
"Well thanks im pretty sure that makes up for everything" I scoffed at him. I saw him look at his hands.
"I know I havent been the friend to you that I should be. I know I havent treated you right. I know ive made you cry on numerous occasions. I know that ive said some horrible things to you and I know that you hate me right now.." I shook my head.
"I could never hate you Cody" I looked into his eyes. My heart did something I had hadn't felt in a while. The fluttery feeling was back.
"Well you should. Ive been nothing but a jackass to you. I should have believed you straight away. I should never have questioned you.." I was still looking him in the eyes. He hadn't pulled away. "I guess im trying to say that im sorry. I know that doesn't account for anything. I know I havent been the person I was. I just I dunno Stacey. I wish I could explain but I cant" He did genuinely look really sorry.
"You havent been there for me when I needed you. I just want my Cody back. Not the horrible moody arrogant one.." He smiled a little.
"That Cody's gone. Im back now.." I smiled at him. "Im always here for you no matter what okay?" I nodded at him. " When - when I said that I would never go for anyone like you.. I didn't mean that. Any man is lucky to have you. Your one of the most amazing people ive met if not the most amazing. I know ive said this once before but can we just go back to been friends again? I hate fighting with you. I hate knowing ive made you cry" He looked if he was on the verge of tears himself. I just wanted to throw my arms around him and hug him.
"I don't want to fight with you anymore Cody. It kills me. I need you.. More than ever now that im dating John" I saw him shift a bit.
"Is there things wrong?" He looked concerned.
"I don't want to talk about it right now. Another time okay?" He nodded.
"I hope were okay cos im gonna need you after I break up with Lucy" He smiled at me and I nodded.
"I'm always here for you Cody" He stood up and pulled me with him and just hugged me. It was still raining. Theres was one thing in my head right now.
Hugs didn't feel this good with John….
