Chapter 36: Brotherly Love

Elena collapsed to the floor crying into her knees. "What in the hell just happened? At first I was just in a bad mood, and now I hate him!" she cried.

The only thing she could think to do when a man hurt her heart was to talk to the people who could always make her smile. She pulled out her cell phone and dialed one of their numbers, knowing that they were always together and would be able to speak to both of them.

"Hello?" Kenny answered.

"Kenny?" Elena replied with a sniffle.

"Hey Squirt, what's wrong?" he asked in concern.

"I just need my two big brothers right now." she said.

"We're both right here. Scoot, get your ass over here!" he yelled, hearing a "Okay! Damn!" in response. "All right, now we're both here and you're on speaker. So spill."

"What, is this Squirt? Hey Squirt!" Scoot laughed.

"Hi Scoot," Elena replied timidly, wiping her tears away.

"Oh, what's wrong?" Scoot asked, now worried, like their brother.

"That's what I asked her, now shutup and let her talk." Kenny told him with a smack upside the head. "Now come on Elena, tell us what happened."

Elena took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to call you crying like this."

"It's what little sisters do. It's big brothers who listen and kick ass," Scoot stated, Kenny agreeing. Elena chuckled a little and already started to feel a little better. "Now seriously, just tell us!"

"Okay, okay! I...I just got into a big argument with Dave." Elena told them.

"About what?" Kenny asked.

"Well earlier today, Stacy was saying things like 'He might be stringing you along' and 'How do you know he loves you' and even 'He has been with other women'. It got me thinking, and then I was getting mad so I went to the gym to blow off some steam. Well, Dave came down too and started talking to me. I just...I acted so mean towards him, but he just politely walked away and did his own thing. Then Matt Hardy came in and introduced himself to me and asked me to dinner tomorrow. So I–" Elena was cut off by her brother.

"Did you say yes?" Scoot asked.

"Well...yeah I did. He was nice and he's friends with Rey and Dave so I figured I should get to know him." she told them.

"I take it that Dave wasn't too happy to hear this," Kenny stated.

"That's just it! I know he overheard us talking, and he tried to act like he didn't! He asked me what I was doing tomorrow and I called him out on listening to my conversation. Then he started acting like he had any right to tell me what to do. So I told him to go call one of his old girlfriends to keep him company." Elena said, hearing a "Wooo!" come from her both brothers.

"There's our feisty little sister! Dang girl!" Kenny laughed.

"Seriously! I can't believe you said that!" Scoot joined in laughing.

"I know...but I don't feel happy or proud of it. Especially when he said he was phoning one up right now, and then he called me a bitch. Then I called you guys and–" Again, Elena was cut off.

"WHAT? What the hell did he say to you?" Scoot yelled.

"Elena, you hear this? This is the sound of us getting on a plane and coming down there to kick his sorry ass!" Kenny exclaimed.

Now it was Elena's turn to laugh, "As much as I appreciate it, you guys would get your asses handed to you. But it does make me feel better for you to say it."

"Well of course we're gonna say it, because no one messes with our Squirt and gets away with it." Kenny told her.

"Except for us," Scoot added.

"Yeah, I know that," Elena chuckled, remembering countless examples from years ago. "Like the time you told me we were playing Hide-N-Seek but you didn't look for me? I fell asleep and mom and dad were freaking out trying to find me!"

"Oh man, we got it bad that time." Scoot laughed, Kenny following. "But seriously, let Dave throw a sissy fit. You can go out to dinner with whoever you want and he can't say otherwise. So just go out, knock'em dead and have fun!"

"I agree. If Dave wants you all to himself he just needs to officially ask you out and proclaim his eternal love for you. That's all." Kenny said, smiling.

"Yeah, like that's ever gonna happen now." Elena told them, suddenly not smiling anymore.

"I'm sure you guys will patch things up. You just need to talk to him, that's all." Kenny added, knowing that his sister had feelings for the Animal. "Just give it some time and see what happens. Who knows? Maybe he'll be the one to apologize to you."

"Yeah, I guess you're right. Thanks guys, you're the best." she said, knowing what she was going to hear from them next.

"Well duh," they both replied, all of them laughing in the process. "Now on a lighter note, someone's birthday is coming up!"

"Whose?" Elena asked.

"Yours you idiot!" Scoot told her. "So what do you want for your birthday?"

"You know me, just to see you guys and have some cake." she replied with a smile.

"Oh come on! There must be something you want." Kenny sighed.

"Well if I think of something you'll be the first person I call. I'm gonna go head out and get something to eat with Christy and Stacy. Give mom and dad my love, but don't tell them what happened. Dad will literally be on the next plane here, and WWE will sue him for killing one of their top superstars."

"Don't worry, we won't say anything. Later Squirt and feel better!" Scoot said, Kenny adding a quick farewell before they both hung up.

A/N: Hey guys! I'm in Scotland now so I'm really sorry the updates have been slow. I also want to apologize for not replying to reviews lately. It's not because I don't love you! I really appreciate all the support I get, and you guys rock! So to help make up for it there will a posting of the next chapter right after this one. Enjoy! :)
