I reached into the pretzel bag and pulled a handful out, popping them one-by-one into my mouth. Randy sighed and took the bag from me. I made a sound of protest and pouted when he wouldn't give me the bag back. "You can't eat all of it." Randy told me.
"Yes I can." I replied, making a grab for the bag. Randy pulled it away from my grasp.
"What has gotten into you lately? You haven't been the same since you heard that Jeff got suspended." He told me. I just shrugged and folded my hands over my stomach. It was Saturday and I was really sad. I had been thinking about what Gil Hardy had said. He told me not to hurt Jeff; but I think I already did.
Randy groaned in frustration and set the bag down on the couch. "Why won't you talk to me? Have I done anything wrong?" He asked me.
"No." I said, keeping my eyes down, feeling guilty. Randy didn't deserve me cheating on him. NO one deserved to be cheated on.
"Then what is wrong?" Randy sat down next to me, putting his arms around me. I held in my tears that I had been holding in ever since Jeff and I fought Tuesday morning. Randy just rocked me back and forth, kissing my head.
"I'm just emotional, Randy." I replied to his question. "That's all." He just nodded and pulled me closer to him.
"I love being with you." He told me, rubbing my shoulders. I just leaned my head against him, not saying anything. I jumped slightly when my phone vibrated in my pocket. I quickly got it out and looked at the id. 'Jeff,' it said with a picture of him that I took.
"Jeff?" I answered it quickly, getting up from the couch. I didn't think that he would have called me.
"Ivy, everything's gone. Everything…" Jeff cried out. He sounded like he was in pain.
"What's gone?" I asked him, trying to keep calm. His breathing got quicker and he sounded like he was holding back tears.
"My house, everything and even the black dog is gone. She died in the fire." Jeff sniffled and my face fell.
"Jeff," I started, not knowing what to say to him. What had Jeff done to deserve this? Losing everything in a fire? "Jeff, you are okay, right?" I asked, not wanting him to be hurt.
"I wasn't home when it happened. Dad had me over and we talked about some things." He replied. I breathed a sigh of relief. I was so glad that he was okay.
"I really glad that you're okay. I don't want anything to happen to you. Ever," I told him, not caring that Randy was in the room hearing my end of the conversation.
"What did I do to deserve this? I'm suspended with no pay, my house burned down, Beth keeps calling trying to fix things up but then she goes and starts a fight because of nothing." Jeff said. "And the worst of all, I'm losing the women I love."
I knew this was going to get personal. I held up a finger to Randy and walked into the bathroom, locking the door. I turned on the shower and sat with my back against the wall next to the shower. I did not what Randy to hear what Jeff and I were talking about.
"Jeff, you're not losing me. I just don't know who I really want. I do like you. A whole lot, I really do, Jeff. I just like Randy also. Oh, I just don't know what to do." I tell him, running my fingers through my hair in frustration.
"I can't live without you, Ivy. I hate seeing you with Randy and know that I know that you like me, it hurts even more." Jeff sighed. "Look, if you listen to this one song called 'Comatose' By Skillet, then you will know how I feel." (This is the song: http/ will do that." I told him.
"Thanks. Look, I have to go find stuff on mine that I can actually keep. I will be watching you on Monday though. I love you, Ivy." He said.
"I love you too, Jeff." I said and then ended the call. I quickly looked up the band Skillet on the internet on my phone and looked up the song Jeff was talking about. I let the song play out into the room and I listened to the lyrics. When the song was finished, I loved the song and finally knew the way Jeff feels about me. I sighed and put my phone away and turned off the shower. I walked out of the room and ignored the look Randy was giving me. I just walked over to my bed and lied down on it, burring my face into the pillow.
"Ivy?" Randy asked softly. I just turned into his chest and cried my eyes out.
On Monday I was sitting on the couch in the women's locker room. I hadn't said words to anyone since I talked to Jeff on Saturday. My heart felt like it was broken. No one could even make me smile. I just sat there and looked into space. I knew I had to get into character, but I would get into mine right before I went to the ring.
"Ivy! Would you stop acting like your dog died and get your butt to wardrobe?" Mickie yelled at me. I looked up at her and gave her sad eyes. She sighed and shook her head.
"Whatever." Mickie grabbed her towel and went into the shower. I sighed and got up making my way to wardrobe. I heard JBL's music and quickly picked up my pace. When I got to wardrobe, Maria dragged me in and she started throwing random outfits at me.
"We so need to match! What color do you think we should wear?" Maria asked me, her hair and makeup already finished. I shrugged and looked for something green. I hadn't seen anyone wear green tonight, which I thought was funny as it was St. Patrick's Day. I picked up a green outfit of hers.
"Oh, that would be perfect!" Maria squealed. I don't know what has gotten into her. Why does everyone have to be so happy? I just wanted to crawl back into bed and cry some more.
"I like this one. It would show off your tattoo!" Maria threw me a bra-type top with black ribbons going up the front and a pair of green pants. I walked behind the screen and changed into the outfit. When I came out from behind the screen, Maria and I helped each other fix our clothes so we won't have a wardrobe malfunction and we walked to hair and make-up. I sat down on the chair and Meg fixed my hair, leaving it down, slightly curled in ringlets and glitter on my streaks.
"How are you feeling, babe?" Meg asked me as she started on my smoky eyes. I shrugged and Maria answered for me.
"She's not talking ever since she talked to Jeff on Saturday." I rolled my eyes. I bet Randy told her what happened.
"I can understand. I can tell you love Jeff very much and I bet it's killing you inside to see him leave. And then to hear about his house burning down and losing one of his dogs, must be horrible." Meg smiled slightly. I nodded as she started on my lips.
Soon Maria and I were standing outside the curtain. Ric was walking through, the right side of his face covered in blood. Maria ran over to him, giving him a hug despite the blood coming off his face. I just leaned against the wall and watched Candice and Victoria walked over to us. Lisa Marie, as you better know as Victoria, tried to stay neutral between the fights with the Divas. She and Torrie were the oldest Divas here and they liked to be friends with everyone.
"Ivy, be careful out there." Ric said as he hugged me. He kissed my cheek and gave Victoria and Candice a hug before walking off. Mr. McMahon walked through the curtain. He nodded to us and to Anthony who leaned on the wall next to me. Maria groaned softly and I just gave Anthony a look to back off. He smirked and did so, putting his hands up in defense.
"You're a butt head, Anthony." Maria growled. Lisa Marie sighed and shook her head.
"Why must you two fight?" She asked, knowing about Anthony's and Maria's infamous fights.
"Because my Maria just loves to fight with me," Anthony said with his fake accent. Maria flicked him off with both hands. I rolled my eyes and watched the monitor as King walked towards Jared from Subway. They talked for a while and soon Maria's music started. She walked out with a smile on and I followed after her, getting into my character.
I smiled and jumped up and down in place as Maria blew a kiss to me. I laughed and blew her a kiss too. She looked happy to see me not acting sad. I slapped the fans hands on one side as Maria did the same on the other. We stopped at the end of the ramp and I pointed up to the big screen while Maria bent down slightly and winked at the fans.
There was a big boom and Maria's Playboy cover fell down and hung from the top of the screen. I grabbed Maria and we walked up to the ring. Maria got in first and ran over to the turn buckle. I smirked and lifted my leg over the middle rope and slowly went under it. I heard wolf-whistles and laughed as Maria came over to me.
"Go up there." She told me as she pointed up to the turn buckle. I nodded and did so. I threw up the rocker sign and then smiled and did the Hardyz guns and Matt's V-1 sign. I heard the fans scream louder and laughed. I thought I was going to get a bad reaction from it, but they loved it.
Candice's music starts and she walks out, Victoria following her. Victoria pointed up to Maria's Playboy cover and then acted like she was going to throw up. I just shook my head and put my hand on Maria's shoulder. She smiled and hugged me. Candice did her jacket thing and Victoria just stared Maria and me down. I got up into her face and glared with her.
"Don't mess with us." I told her, the first words in two days. She glared back and Maria pulled me back as Santino's music started. Maria and I looked at him in confusion as he walked down the ramp, glaring at us. I just raised an eyebrow and laughed at him. Maria shook her head as Santino made his way over to J.R. and King.
"You want to start first?" I asked Maria. She nodded and it looked like she and Candice were going to start off the match. I shouted words of encouragement to Maria as she took control of the match.
"Good girl!" I shouted as Maria throws Candice into the ring post and then starts throwing punches at Candice's stomach. Candice starts to fight back and grabs Maria by the hair and throws her to the ground. Maria holds her nose and then Candice grabs Maria's foot and drags Maria over to her corner. She tags Victoria in and Victoria starts going after Maria.
"Come on, Maria. You got this!" I called out, giving her support. Victoria lays Maria out in the middle of the ring and turns around. She throws her hands up in the air and yells out something. She jumps into a moonsault and Maria counters by pulling her knees up to her stomach. Victoria gasps in pain and makes her way over to Candice to tag her in.
"Tag me, Maria!" I yell as she crawls towards me. Victoria gets to Candice first and Candice goes after Maria's foot. Maria kicks at Candice and tags me. I run in, feeling great because it was the first time I have wrestled in a while. I clotheslined Candice and she quickly got up. I bounced off the ropes and dodged Victoria's knee. I cross-bodied Candice and then ran over to spear Victoria off the canvas.
Candice slowly gets up and I stalk her. When she gets up, I kick her in the stomach and then fling her into the turnbuckle. I run over and pull my legs to her chest, pulling her down into a monkey flip and then going up onto the turnbuckle. I yell to the crowd and jump off, doing a corkscrew splash onto Candice. I quickly pin her for the win and I jump up and down, smiling.
"We won!" Maria yelled and hugged me. I laughed and looked over to J.R. and King. Santino was throwing a fit and he threw the soda at King. I gasped as Santino punched King and then took King's Subway sandwich and took a bite out of it. I shook my head and Maria looked at me confused.
"He's crazy." I told her. She nodded and we watched as Candice, Victoria, and Santino walked backwards up the ramp. I motioned to Candice and held my hands over my stomach. She glared at me and shook her head. Santino took another bite of the sandwich and Victoria copied him. I looked at Maria confused and she just rotated her finger around her ear, telling me that they were crazy.
"You're all crazy!" Maria yelled to them. They just continued their way backstage and Maria and I got out of the ring and I blew a kiss to the camera, knowing Jeff would see it. I walked over to the fans and slapped their hands. They smiled and I smiled back, pulling hair out of my face.
Maria and I walked backstage and we hugged. "You going to talk to me know?" She asked. I shook my head and smiled, laughing. She laughed also and we walked to the women's locker room, arm-in-arm.
A/N: Hey Guys. I'm really sad. This morning I saw my cat get run over, and I don't know if she's okay or not. I tried not to cry during school, but this girl who sits next to me on the bus didn't give me any compassion. All she said was that she was sorry and that I can get a new one. I was like 'what the crap? I tell you that one of my cats got run over and might not live and you tell me that I can get a new one?' I was so ticked off. All my other friends and teachers were nice about it. I could tell in their eyes that they really did care about my feelings. Anyway, I want to say thanks to gamingXwidow, 68 stones from a broken heart, Inday, jada951, dj-ssdd, sailormama, x.Hardy.at.Heart.x, and awprncss4386 for reviewing. I love getting reviews. I love you all! Love, Alissa
