Chapter 49: The Meeting
Kelly had told a bunch of lies to get the key card to Mike's room to find this stupid DVD and she was going to have to find it as quickly as possible. She was searching frantically everywhere she possibly could but the DVD was nowhere in sight. She tried to think back on what Mike had done with it. Unless he had given it to somebody else... "Shit..." Kelly muttered to herself.
Of course he would have given it to someone. Someone like R-Truth, Wade, Dolph and even Maria. Maria was probably the most likely option considering Kelly had found some of her clothes in the closet.
Kelly kept cursing and cussing to herself as she went through Mike's room. She finally found a small black suitcase underneath the bed which she immediately unzipped, knowing that Mike always carried a bag like this around everywhere. She rummaged through the bag only to find a heap of Zack Ryder's Broski merchandise. "What the hell?" Kelly muttered. She found a folded piece of photographic paper and decided to take a look at it. She was shocked at what she saw. Eve and Zack Ryder? Kelly chuckled to herself before shoving the picture in her pocket.
She had been so distracted trying to find this DVD, she wasn't aware of the shower running in the bathroom. That meant that someone was here in this room with her. "Crap" Kelly muttered once again shoving Zack Ryder's belongings back into his bag. The shower had stopped running and she heard the person making their way to the bathroom door. Kelly placed her hands on her head looking around for somewhere to hide until she realised the bathroom door had opened with a thunderous bang.
"Kelly!" Maria yelled out in shock just as she came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around her. Kelly turned her back to Maria biting down on her lower lip to prevent herself from laughing. "What the hell are you doing here?"
"Uh..." Kelly struggled to make up an excuse. "I came to pick you up for the meeting at the arena" Kelly lied her back still facing Maria.
"Right..." Maria frowned picking up her clothes. "I'll be right back..." Maria scurried off into the bathroom. Kelly immediately started looking around again. Where the hell is that DVD? Maria came striding out of the bathroom wearing jeans and a pink tank top. "What are you doing?" Maria asked frowning.
"Me?" Kelly asked realising how stupid her question sounded.
"Yeah, who else?" Maria answered.
"I'm here to talk to you" Kelly said with a shrug.
"How did you even get in here?" Maria dropped another question on her.
"The door wasn't closed properly so I was able to open it. Now enough with the questions. Are you ready to go to the meeting?" Kelly asked but Maria was staring around the room.
"You know what I would like to know? I would like to know why you are being so nice to me after what happened yesterday. Us two don't get along, we used to but as of late we haven't been. So, you can cut the charade right now Kelly, I'm not buying any of the shit your selling" Maria folded her arms across her chest and stared at Kelly in suspicion. "My car is in repairs and I'm stuck here, in this dodgy hotel room with..." she trailed off frowning at the broski sunglasses on the floor. Damn it Kelly why'd you have to be so careless!
"Oh those..." Kelly picked them up and smiled at Maria. "They're mine" Kelly stated putting them on. Maria was completely confused while she stared at Kelly. "What? You're not a Broski? Who doesn't love Zack Ryder?"
"Um...what the hell are you doing?" Maria asked again.
"Fist pumping...duh!" Kelly exclaimed.
"You're a Ryder fan?" Maria questioned looking at Kelly in disbelief. Kelly couldn't believe what she was doing to get out of this. She probably looked like the biggest fool on the planet right now.
"Are you serious bro? Of course I am! Woo woo woo, you know it" Kelly did her best to convince Maria who just stood there blinking blankly at Kelly. Kelly was officially acting strange Maria thought. Yesterday they were worst enemies and today, Kelly was picking her up to go to a meeting together? Something felt wrong... "So are you going to take the lift I offered you?"
"I...I guess so?" Maria answered still confused. She couldn't even be nasty because Kelly had confused her. Like what on earth was going on? Kelly brushed past Maria still wearing her broski sunglasses and stood waiting at the door. Maria caught sight of the photograph Kelly had in the pocket of her leather jacket but she didn't say anything about it.
"Hello? Are you coming?" Kelly called from the door. Maria followed her out into the corridor and to where Kelly was parked. They got into the car a drove off to Westmount Arena.
Everyone was gathered at the arena waiting for Vince McMahon to arrive to address the situation. Most Superstars and Divas were mingling and talking to each other seeing as there were wrestlers from both shows, everyone was having a great time catching up. Randy was speaking with his good friend's Cody and Ted while Michelle and Maryse were talking to a bunch of other Divas. However, Randy's conversation with Ted and Cody was interrupted by Eve, who had tapped Randy's shoulder. "Hey Eve, what's up?" Randy greeted her.
"Can we talk...alone?" Eve added the last bit on. Randy frowned in confusion and looked at Ted and Cody, not knowing what was happening.
"Yeah I guess" Randy said as Eve walked off. He turned around to face his friends. "I don't know what this is about" Randy shook his head, having no clue whatsoever why Eve needed to talk to him but he did follow her to a secluded hallway. Eve had her backpack hitched over her shoulder and a huge look of concern on her face. "Eve? Are you ok?" Randy asked seeing that the Diva in front of him was distraught.
"No Randy...I'm really not ok" Eve said with half a voice. Randy stared at Eve not knowing why she had turned to him instead of her boyfriend Zack Ryder.
"Eve, what happened?" Randy asked in serious tone. Eve regathered her composure and began to tell Randy what had happened.
"Well, Mike's bag is very similar to Zack's bag and they accidentally got mixed up. Zack got Mike's bag and Mike got Zack's bag" Eve began to explain.
"And this is what you're upset about?" Randy said, "are you kidding me?" Randy scoffed as Eve stared at him, her eyes just telling him that there was something more so he let her continue.
"I went through Mike's stuff" Eve swung he backpack off her shoulder and began looking through t for something. "And then we found this" Eve said handing him a DVD. Randy looked at the DVD that was in a clear cover that had Kelly's name written down its spine.
"What is this?" Randy asked befuddled. Eve didn't answer. More accurately she didn't want to answer. "Eve! What is this?" Randy demanded to know.
"I watched it because curiosity got the better of me" Eve shook her head. "I'm telling you now you don't want to know what it is." Randy stared down at the DVD wondering what was so bad about this DVD.
"Is it bad?" Randy asked curiosity getting the better of him now. Eve gulped as tears began to form in her eyes. He knew from her reaction that it had to be bad, but how bad was it? "How bad is it?" Randy said his icy blues eyes piercing through her like knives.
"Randy, I can't describe i-it in words, it w-was so..." Eve couldn't find the words to describe what she saw. "It was nauseating Randy, Kelly didn't deserve that and I know I shouldn't have been snooping around in Mike's stuff but I thought it was Zack's and now-"
"Eve!" Randy pretty much yelled. "Calm down..." he said softly placing his hands on her shoulders. "Does the DVD show what Mike did to Barbs?" Eve nodded tears welling up in her eyes.
"You asked me how bad it was, well... Kelly almost died" Eve said tears definite in her eyes as she took the DVD back and put it in her bag.
"She almost died?" Randy let that slip from his mouth. He repeated that in his head a couple of times over. Randy's hand formed into a fist. He wanted to beat Mike's face in and watch him get everything he deserved. No one hurt Kelly and got away with it, no one should be hurting a woman. That was the bottom, only a lowly human being like Mike would do such a thing.
"Randy?" Eve called his name but Randy wasn't listening he was fuming. Randy looked like he was about to burst a vein in his neck that's how livid he was. "Randy! The meeting is starting" Eve called out to him. Both Eve and Randy decided to go to the meeting.
Everyone took their seats in the arena as Vince McMahon walked into the ring that was still set up from last night. "Good morning everyone" Vince cleared his throat as Randy looked at him with a livid expression on his face. He was also thinking if Kelly and why she hadn't turned up yet, it was starting to worry him, despite what transpired last night. "Due to some issues involving Superstars and a Diva, the WWE is going to be investigated by some crime units." There was a murmur amongst the Superstars and Divas. "I'm sorry to inform you all but the WWE will be going on lock down as of now, meaning there's no WWE until further notice." Ted, Maryse, Cody and Michelle who were all sitting nearby Randy shot him deadly glares.
"This is your fault Randy!" Ted yelled. "You are fault for this along with Barbie!" everyone stopped squabbling amongst each other and stared at Ted including Mr McMahon. "It's true! You tell them Vince!" Ted was furious, he had lost his job now and that had really upset him.
"Unfortunately it is true. Due to the problems involving Mr Orton, Mr Mizanin and Ms Blank, we have no choice but to go into lock down" Vince stated. Kelly had arrived with Maria now and was making her way down the ramp to sit on the chair around the ring. "Ms Blank, can you join me in the ring?" Kelly frowned at him but did what she was told anyway. Kelly felt as if everyone was watching her, which was probably true. Kelly stood there staring at Mr McMahon, anger boiling up within her. Vince went to speak but Kelly snatched the microphone out of his hand. Vince was furious so he retaliated by smacking Kelly hard across the face causing her to drop to one knee. "I want you to apologise to me!" Vince yelled at her. "You and your ways has led us to this!" Kelly stood back up, a red mark becoming evident on her face. "You're not just apologising to me, you're apologising to all your fellow Divas and Superstars!" Vince spat. "You ruined my company, you-" Kelly snatched the mic off him again and this time she took a couple of steps back, to be out of Vince's hitting range.
"You want me to apologise to you?" Kelly questioned a cheeky smirk appearing on her face. Kelly was so sick of being pushed around by everyone, she had finally snapped. "No Vince I will not apologise to you. I want you to apologise to me. I know you're not the type to say sorry but you'll apologise for suspending my husband for that week, when he tried to tell you what was going on" Vince was about to cut her off but she decided keep talking. "You should apologise to your roster for being one of the biggest hypocrites, they've ever seen." Kelly stared at Vince who was just silenced. "You should apologise for making us Divas come out here for three minutes every week." There was a silence as Vince tried to muster up something to say. "Let me give you a couple names Vince" Kelly walked around the ring. There was a silence "Do the names Gail Kim and Melina Perez sound familiar?" Vince had a scowl all over his face as his eyes darted through the WWE roster surrounding the ring. "No? Maybe Tamina and AJ Lee?" she looked at Vince who was biting down hard on his lower lip in rage. "Wow...they're sitting right there" Kelly pointed out to where Melina, Gail, Tamina and AJ were sitting.
"Where are you going with this?" Vince asked enraged. Kelly half-smiled before lifting the mic towards her lips.
"Where am I going with this?" Kelly scoffed. "Vince you don't care about talent or your roster, you care about money. That's why you're so mad at me, because four of your best Superstars are behind bars and that's all my fault supposedly. You're mad because Mike Mizanin is behind bars, when he hurt me and placed Randy Orton in the hospital after attacking him in the car park. You suspended one of your top Superstars when he tried to tell you the truth about Mike and I. You have no one to blame but yourself. Now I want you to apologise to me!" Kelly raised her voice, she was absolutely livid right now. Who was Vince to go and blame her for the collapsing of his company because he couldn't give a damn about the well-being of his roster. "Save yourself any further embarrassment and apologise to me!"
"Sorry ok? I'm sorry..." Vince said with as much sincerity as possible.
"What?" Kelly replied in astonishment. "What?"
"I apologise!" Vince yelled in Kelly's face. Maria slid into the ring and Maria had gotten a mic of her own now.
"That is better than winning the Divas Championship, Vincent Kennedy McMahon just apologised to Kelly Kelly, yay!" Kelly said sarcastically.
"Hang on a minute" Maria started. "You come out and you go on a rant about everything and how Vince is to blame. You are to blame Kelly. You are to blame because you lost sight of everything. You lost sight of what it meant to be Divas Champion. You lost sight of your 'storyline' with Mike and Randy. You lost sight of everything."
"I've lost sight?" Kelly stated. "I've lost sight of things Maria? Don't give me that bullshit when you were the one turning my life into a living hell!"
"You come out here and talk about talent and anything else that comes to your mind. It doesn't even matter now, there is no WWE because of you. There is no Divas Championship. You have become a self-centered person who only gives a damn about themselves. You don't care about all your fellow wrestlers who now don't have jobs because of you. You destroyed this company, because you couldn't stand up for yourself. But now that you're being blamed and targeted you're trying to shift the blame onto somebody else. You're standing up for yourself now! You're a coward Kelly, and that's the bottom line." Everyone started squabbling amongst each other once again. "So if you're trying to get people to side with you, they can stay in this arena and side with you. But for all the people who don't want to side with you, for all of the people who are upset about losing their jobs can side with Vince and leave. Actions always speak louder than words, so I'm walking out. I side with Vince..." Maria dumped the microphone and walked out of the arena followed by a couple Superstars and Divas. Eventually everyone had left, annoyed they had lost their jobs more than anything else. Only Ted, Maryse, Cody, Michelle, Randy, Eve and Zack Ryder remained.
"I'm sorry Kel but I can't side with you on this one" Ted snapped as he walked up the ramp. Kelly turned to Maryse who was standing in the ring along with Zack, Eve, Michelle, Cody and Randy.
"Sorry Barbs" Maryse mumbled brushing past her. Kelly felt a bit of her heart chip away during that moment. Michelle and Cody decided to leave next. She was left standing in the ring with Zack, Eve and Randy, she wanted to be alone so she hurried backstage to the Divas locker room.
Kelly sat on one of the benches her head buried in her hands. Randy stood in the doorway watching her intently. Eve was sitting next to Kelly trying to offer words of comfort. The next thing he realised was Zack returning with an ice pack for Kelly. "Here..." he said handing it to her.
"Thanks Zack" Kelly half-smiled as she placed the ice pack on her left cheek. It was starting to swell and bruise because Mr McMahon has smacked her so hard.
"No problem Kelly" Zack smiled down at her. Randy was still leaning on the door frame staring at Kelly.
"Hey can you two leave us alone for a minute?" Eve asked both Randy and Zack.
"Yeah, I guess" Randy mumbled catching a glimpse of Kelly staring at him.
"Lets leave them to their girl talk bro" Zack patted him on the back before the both of them disappeared. Kelly looked sideways at Eve who was staring at her in concern.
"Not to be rude or anything but why are you still here?" Kelly said turning her head towards Eve.
"I know" Eve sighed which caused Kelly to frown.
"And what exactly do you know?" Kelly replied raising her eyebrows at her fellow Diva.
"Mike's bag got mixed up with Zack's bag. We ended up snooping through Mike's stuff and then I found this" Eve finished as she pulled the DVD out of her bag and handed it to Kelly. Kelly dumped the ice pack down and stared at the DVD she had in her hands as she felt the tears well up in her eyes. Kelly had fallen silent as she just stared at the DVD. "Kelly?" Eve stated just making sure that her friend was still with her.
"So you know then" Kelly managed to say. Eve hung her head in shame but she did answer.
"Yes I know. That's why I stayed. It isn't fair to you. You shouldn't have gone through what you did with Mike and you definitely shouldn't have gone through what you did today" Eve stated staring at her friend with a deep concern. There was a long eerie silence as Kelly continued to stare at the DVD tears threatening to fall. She had tried to be tough but that was only a facade. She was so traumatised and upset about a heap of things at the moment. Not to mention she was pregnant with Randy's child as well. During that instant Kelly got a flashback while staring at the DVD.
Kelly gasped between sobs as Mike threw his belt to the side. She rolled over onto her side unable to get to a sitting position. There were endless amounts of tears streaming down Kelly's face. "Get up" Mike spat at her. How could she possibly stand after what Mike had done to her? "I said get up!" Mike yelled at her. Kelly just lay their motionless, whimpering. She was still in her ring attire because she went straight to the hotel room after her loss to Gail Kim. You could bet that Mike wasn't happy about that, and that was why this 'fight' had erupted.
Mike wrenched Kelly up and rammed her against the wall. He held her there by the shoulders, her already bloodied sore back rubbing against the hard wall. He gripped Kelly's right arm so hard that she started to squirm, trying to get him off her but it was no use. "After I'm done with you, you'll never be able to wrestle again" Mike patted her face as Kelly shut her eyes in a silent agony.
"M-M-ike..." Kelly stammered her back aching as it scrapped against the wall. "S-Stop..." she managed to say. He smirked at her attempt to plead with him so he chucked her onto the floor causing Kelly cry out in agony.
"I'll be back" he smirked as he walked into another room. As Kelly lay there, staring at the ceiling she felt her body recoil in pain a couple of times before rolling onto her side in order to ease the pain. She stared down at herself and realised how badly she was bleeding all thanks to Mike. Hearing noise from the nearby room she knew Mike would return any minute now...
"Kelly! Kelly! Kelly!" Eve's voice called out to her.
"What the hell happened?" she heard that familiar voice that she used to love so much, that being the voice of Randy Orton.
"I don't know, we were talking and then she just blacked out" Eve panicked.
"I'll take her to the couch" Zack offered bending over Kelly in order to pick her up. Randy placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Don't worry about it Zack, I'll do it" Randy stated crouching next to Kelly and lifting her up and off the ground. Kelly's eyes flickered open and she noticed that Randy was carrying her.
"Randy?" Kelly croaked. He gently placed her down on the couch and continued to move some of her blonde hair out of her face. She stared into his mesmerising icy blue eyes and he stared back into her blue eyes. He didn't know what to say to her. They had a major fight last night and Randy didn't think it was right to be with her.
"Rest up..." was all he said before attempting to leave the room.
"Randy" Kelly called out to him.
"Barbie, let me tell you something before you continue. I haven't seen you in 18 hours and our time apart already feels like there's knives stabbing at my heart" Randy stated. He refused to make eye contact with her. "There's nothing I can do without thinking of you. Every time I try not to love you, I end up loving you more and I can only hope that someday you'll forgive me." He had one foot out the door as he was about to leave but Kelly called out to him.
"Randy..." she mumbled. He heard her and turned around. She was sitting upright now. "Can you sit with me?" Randy stared at her for a long moment before sitting down next to her. Kelly let her head rest on his shoulder and in return Randy wrapped his arms around her. She felt so secure in his embrace, it felt just right. "Randy..."
"Yeah?" he answered resting his chin on top of Kelly's head, his embrace tightening not wanting to ever let her go. He just loved her way to much.
"Thank you for siding with me today" Kelly mumbled against his chest.
"It's ok. You should thank Zack and Eve too" Randy suggested.
"Ok..." Kelly mumbled still trying to shake away her flashback. "Randy, I'm really sorry about last night, I just haven't been thinking clearly. I think I need you with me to survive."
"And I'm really sorry about this whole Maria thing but you have to believe me nothing happened between us in the past. She kissed me in the hospital, I wouldn't do anything to hurt you" Randy caressed her hand.
"I over-reacted and I forgive you, just be honest with me, ok?" Kelly snuggled closer to Randy.
"Will do" Randy half-smiled. "Barbie, you're ok right?"
"Me? Yeah I'm fine" Kelly shrugged but Randy could tell something was up. He decided this wasn't the right time or place to discuss Kelly's issues, considering what had transpired today. He would have to wait until a more appropriate time.
Hope the chapter wasn't boring ...
Anyway, thanks to all who reviewed the last chapter. Tell me what you thought of this chapter. Sorry if there were any huge mistakes.
