Chapter 12 – Apologize for what?
Paige was driving Kaitlyn home after her meeting with Amber and Sara. The coach was very mad at them and told them that they both acted very unprofessional. She reminded them that they were fighting for entertainment, not for real. She didn't want to know what was going on between them, saying that she didn't care. Kaitlyn tried to defend herself by accusing Amber for starting it and even though Sara agreed with her, she told her that she shouldn't have reacted the way she did. After telling them that she wouldn't tolerate another incident like this, she sent Kaitlyn to have her back checked up. Turned out she was out of training for a week. They thought she might have a torn muscle in her shoulder and it was hurting her like hell.
Kaitlyn took out her phone out of her bag to call Colby. She wanted to talk to him so badly. She was about to burst into tears and she didn't know if it was because he wasn't picking up or because of what her former best friend did to her.
"Hey babe." she said to Colby's voicemail. "Something happened with Amber. We kind of got into a big fight during our training. I just wanted to let you know before you hear it from anyone else. Call me back please. I love you."
"I can't believe that she did this to you." Paige said talking about Amber. "Did she knew that Jon kissed you last night? Is that what it was about?"
"No she doesn't know and I would like to keep it that way. She might want to kill me if she finds out. And by the way, Jon doesn't remember anything."
"You asked him?"
"No I didn't had to. He notice that I was avoiding him and he wanted to know what he had done wrong."
Paige wanted to know if Kaitlyn had told him but she shook her head, saying that he didn't need to know either. When they arrived in front of her house, the Diva asked her if she wanted her to stay for a while.
"I'll be fine, thanks." she said as she got out of the car.
"Call me if you need anything." Paige said. "And put some ice on your back!"
Kaitlyn waved to her before getting inside.
Jon was lying down on the couch and as soon as he heard her the door open, he got up to check on her. He's been worried since he left the Performance Center and he would've liked to wait for her even though she asked him not to.
"Are you ok?" he asked.
He was still shirtless but she didn't care. She had too much to think about to even ask him to go put a damn shirt on.
"Yeah. Amber nearly cost me my chance to become a Diva but I'm doing awesome!" she said with a voice full of sarcasm. "I'm out for a week. It looks like I have a torn muscle in my right shoulder."
Jon got close to her and Kaitlyn couldn't do otherwise than to hold her breath. He asked her to take her shirt up so that he could take a look at her back.
"I'm not going to take off my shirt in front of you." she said, offended.
"Relax pumpkin. I said take it up, not off." he said with a smirk.
Kaitlyn looked at him for a second before she turned her back on him lifting her shirt so that Jon could see the injury.
"Damn, she got you pretty good. I'll get you some ice."
She lied down on the couch on her stomach, waiting for him to come back with the ice. It was hurting her so bad that she wanted to cry but she forbad her to do so.
"I fucking hate her!"
"Come on Kait'. You know you don't mean that." Jon said as he was coming back to the living room.
"Believe me I do." she said. "Fuck that's cold."
It already started to turn blue and it was swelling pretty badly. Jon had a lot of bruises in his life but that one looked very bad even for him.
"Welcome to the business." he said with a smile. "What the fuck is wrong with Amber anyway?"
"That must have been her way of making me pay for yesterday." Kaitlyn sighed. "I don't know what's going on with her. She's always mad at me and I have no idea what I did to her."
They heard knocks on the front door and Jon told Kaitlyn to stay put and to keep the ice on her shoulder as he walked out of the living room. He swore when he saw Amber through the window and a part of him wanted to just leave her there.
"What the fuck are you doing here?" Amber asked when he finally opened the door.
"I live here. You know, since you kicked me out of your apartment. I wasn't feeling the whole hotel room thing for my recovery. Colby said I could live with Kaitlyn."
"Of course." she said rolling her eyes. "And you're shirtless because…?"
"Because I hate wearing shirts and you know it. You never complained about it if I remember correctly."
"Wow. Your little Miss Perfect in there must be so stocked to have you around to keep her distracted while her boyfriend is on the road."
"Why are you here Amber?" he said, annoyed.
She told him that she was here to apologize to Kaitlyn but that she wasn't feeling like it anymore. She was about to leave when Jon stepped outside and closed the door behind him.
"Apologize for what?" he snapped at her. "For being a bitch of for nearly ruining her chance to be a Diva. You knew the risk and you fucking did it anyway. She's your best friend for Christ's sake, why would you do something like that?"
Amber turned around to go back in her car, saying that he could go fuck himself.
"I'll tell Kaitlyn you stopped by."
"Don't bother asshole."
"Go cry on Matt's shoulder!" Jon shouted.
"At least he is not trying to screw my best friend."
"You're fucking delusional."
Jon got back in the house and Kaitlyn asked him who it was. A part of him wanted to lie to her but he couldn't. When he told her that Amber stopped by to apologize, she said that she could go fuck herself.
"That's funny, that's what she told to me." he said laughing. "And by the way, she came to apologize but she left without apologizing."
"She's a bitch."
"Yeah she is. How's your back doing?"
"I feel like I want to die."
"Do you think you can survive a few minutes without me? I would like to go take a shower."
Kaitlyn nodded and mumbled that she'll be fine. When he asked her if she needed anything, she told him to put a shirt on. Jon laughed and promise her to do so as soon as he'll get out of the bathroom. She thanked him as he was leaving and grabbed her phone on the table. She tried to call Colby but she went straight to voicemail once again.
"Hey babe, it's me. Again. I get that you're probably very busy but I need to talk to you. So I guess I'll just talk to your voicemail then. Like I said before, Amber and I got in a fight. Actually, I should say that she beat the crap out of me. We were supposed to practice but she got carried by her emotions and I ended up pushed into the turn-buckle. They think I might have a torn muscle but they didn't seem so sure of it. I'm out for a week and then I'll get a revaluation to see how I'm doing. So… that's it. Call me when you get a chance."
Jon was in the shower and he kept thinking about what Amber said to him. He really did care about Kaitlyn and he always thought of her as a little sister but for the past month that he'd been living with her, he found himself thinking about her in a way that he never did before. He wanted to make a move for a while but he knew that it wasn't a good idea. She was his best friend's girlfriend and he shouldn't have kissed. When he realised that she wasn't kissing him back, he preferred to act as if he didn't remember and he lied to her. He should've felt bad about it but he wasn't. Having her that close to him for a moment made him the happiest man in the whole world.
