A new girl in town
Chapter 53
Kane/J.J.
Kane woke and ordered breakfast then woke J.J.
After they had eaten they showered.
Then they headed out and down the hall to Kayla's room.
They got to the door and knocked but didn't get an answer.
Kane took out his phone and texted Kayla but didn't get a response.
They knocked a few more times and this time J.J. texted Kayla. Still no response.
"Kane we'll just have to go without her, or we're going to be late." J.J. said.
"I know but I wish I knew where she was last night." Kane said. "She sent me these messages." He added showing her the messages.
"Well it looks like she must have fallen asleep wherever she was cause she's not in her room and she's not answering the texts." J.J. said.
"I guess she can get a cab to the arena. I just hope she's not late." Kane said as they headed to the elevators.
Taker/Sammy
Sammy woke Taker at eleven as they had to get to the arena by 1200. They ate on the way. It wasn't till they reached the arena and saw J.J. and Kane that he realized Kayla hadn't come in with them.
"Where's Kayla?" Taker asked.
"I have no idea." Kane said. "She didn't answer her door this morning or her texts."
"She must still be asleep somewhere." Taker said. "She texted me all stoned last night."
"Yeah me too." Kane said. "She wasn't making sense and when she called me dumb I turned off the phone."
Cena/Kayla/Al
Kane to Kayla:
Where are you? You're supposed to be up by now.
J.J. to Kayla:
Kayla we're at the door where are you?
Kane to Kayla:
We're going to have to leave without you or we'll be late.
"She groaned unhappily. Then she reread what she'd sent to Kane last night.
Her eyes widened in horror.
You're a fucking idiot! She thought. You fucking know that he thinks he's stupid; why the fuck would you say that?!
Kayla to Kane:
Look, I'm really, really, really sorry about last night. Can I feel ridiculously bad about it. I should never have called you dumb, even just as a joke. You aren't; you're one of the smartest people I know. I'm the one who's fucking dumb here. I shouldn't have been anywhere near my phone last night. Fuck.
Kane to Kayla:
Where are you you're supposed to be here in 15 minutes? First meeting is at 1230.
Kayla to Kane:
...Oh. Fuck. Still in Al's room. They're still sleeping. But you didn't reply to my bit about last night. I don't blame you for being mad...
Kane to Kayla:
We'll talk later get here now.
Kayla shook Cena then Al.
"Whhhaat?" Cena mumbled.
"What's going on?" Al said.
"We're late, dudes. It The first meeting is... Um, it's soon," Kayla said.
"Oh damn." Al said picking up head from the floor and disappearing into the bedroom.
"Oh man I reek." Cena mumbled as he got up.
Kayla sighed.
"Sorry for calling you a douche or whatever. Would you be willing to take me maybe give me a ride? My bikes still on the truck," she said.
"Yeah whatever. Just be ready to go like ten minutes." Cena said. "Vince is going to have our asses."
Al walked out of the bedroom with his hair wet and fresh clothes on. "We've got to go." He stated heading for the door with head.
Kayla nodded and left the room. She got to hers but only stayed long enough to change her clothes, put on a pair of huge sunglasses and grab her bag. Then she was out the door again.
Cena met her coming down the hall and they practically raced to his car.
"I know we're so fucked, but I have a weed hangover and that seems more important right now," Kayla said once she'd gotten in to the car.
"We're not going to make it by twelve." Cena said. "We'll be lucky if we make it to the meeting on time. We'll just dump your bag with mine on the way to the meeting. You can find your office after."
Kayla nodded.
"Look... Are we okay? I'm really sorry about what Can I said. I'm an asshole and you didn't deserve it. You've been good to me when you didn't have to be and yeah... It means a lot," she said.
"You were pretty weird last night and I don't mean once you got stoned. But I'll forgive you." Cena said smiling.
Kayla smiled back.
"I just feel really bad for him. It sucks being alone. That thing doesn't qualify as fucking company, and I don't know. I think you'd be really good for him," she said.
"Kayla he's alone because no one wants to hang out with that nut job. As for me being good for him I don't know about that." Cena said. "I'm the one who made him thing Head was bi-polar."
"But we're all fucking crazy as shit at the end of the day. My crazy could fill a library and I know it. I just... It's not fair. People judge me all the fucking time cause of the way I look but they give me a chance anyway. Doesn't he deserve the same?" Kayla said.
"You're right about all of being a little crazy. But I can't be alone with that guy. Maybe we could visit him together sometimes. But not to get stoned." Cena said.
Kayla sighed.
"I guess that's better than nothing," she said grudgingly.
"I mean even with the cologne I put on I smell of it. If Vince smells it on me he's going to think I'm on drugs that could get me fired. I just hope I have time to shower before he wants to see me for being late." Cena said.
"Don't be. I chose to be there." Cena said. "But if he smells it on me it can never happen again. I've never done drugs it would be a shame if I got fired for it." He added smiling.
Kayla rolled her eyes.
"It "You should ask RVD for tips; I'm sure he has tuns. It's stoner land in his world 24-7," she said.
"Damn it if this traffic doesn't clear we're not even going to make the end of the meeting." Cena shouted.
"Love you too, Cali," Kayla muttered.
Finally some of the traffic cleared and they got to the arena. But it was after twelve which made them late. They quickly dropped off their gear in a locker in the communal locker room. There was no one there.
"It must be later than I thought." Cena said. "We'd better run for it."
Kayla just nodded and followed Cena at a sprint.
They had just gotten in and taken seats. Both were still breathing heavy when Vince walked in the door.
Kane looked at Kayla as she and Cena ran into the room and took seats.
"Well at least she made the meeting." J.J. whispered to him.
"Yeah barely." Kane whispered back.
Kayla looked around and saw Taker glaring at her from across the room.
Thank fucking god. Kayla thought. The last thing any of us needs is to be noticed by Vince right now.
At least Al managed to shower. Cena and I would be fucked though.
Taker shook his head and closed his eyes for a minute. She's not my responsibility. The told himself.
She groaned. Oh great, he's gonna yell... Some more. Fan-fucking-tastic. I'm an adult; if I want to get high I will. What does it matter to him?
Vince walked in and immediately called Cena, Al and Kayla out for being late to the arena. He said he wanted to talk to them after the meeting.
Oh god, we are so, so fucked. Kayla thought. Her weed hangover thankfully prevented her from panicking.
Vince went on in his usual way of bitching everyone out thoroughly. Then he dismissed them with a grunt and waited for Cena, Al and Kayla to come to the front of the room.
When they got to him he took a deep breath as if trying to calm his anger. But all three knew he'd yell anyway.
"I'm not sure what that smell is." Vince said. "But none of you better come here smelling like it again. You all reek."
Oh my god, how does he not know? Kayla wondered. He was alive in the 60's for fuck's sakes. Did he go to college with the Amish?
Al looked at Vince like he was crazy. How doesn't he know? I know Shane smokes it too sometimes. Al thought.
Oh that was close I'm glad he doesn't know what it is. Cena thought.
Vince yelled at them some more about being late and it not happening again or they would be suspended. Then he dismissed them.
"I'm so glad he didn't figure it out." Cena said.
"Yeah, no shit. That was fucking close," Kayla said.
"I need to shower some place. I'll see you guys later," she added. "I'll see you guys later," Kayla said.
Then she started wandering in the direction of Taker and Kane's locker room.
Just then Hunter stepped out of his locker room heading down the hall.
"EEWW so you're a drug addict to. That's nice to know." Hunter said.
"Yeah, like you've never blazed before. Fucking go away," Kayla said.
"I was actually just looking for you." Hunter said sounding self-satisfied.
"Congrats, I'm right here," Kayla said.
"So I see. I just wanted you to know. X-Pac is in the hospital. But that's just the tip of the iceberg compared to what I'm going to do to him. As for Tori you'll pay for what you did to her."
"Whatever. Your face is fucking stupid and you should feel bad," Kayla said. She rolled her eyes but she didn't think he could see it behind her glasses.
"You see it's comments like that that get you into trouble bitch." Hunter said. "I don't feel bad at all. He knew what would happen if he left the group. I threw him out because of you you know."
Then she smirked.
"You know... If you keep looking for me, I'm going no to start thinking it's cause you really want something else," she added.
"From you just that thought is disgusting." Hunter said looking like he'd just thrown up in his mouth.
Kayla laughed.
"That's not what they say when they're screaming my name and begging me not to stop," she said with a wink.
Hunter just looked even more disgusted and walked back into the locker room.
Kayla laughed.
"I'd make it really good' good, Hunter. I promise!" She yelled.
She thought she heard Hunter puke before the door closed.
Then she came back down to earth with a crash.
Fuck my fucking life. She thought as she walked. I'm not sure what's worse right now: Taker yelling at me or Kane being mad.
She finally reached the door and knocked reluctantly.
Taker/Kane/J.J./Sammy/Kayla
Taker opened the door and looked at her disapprovingly but didn't say anything he just walked back into the locker room.
Kane walked toward her.
Kayla said and reluctantly walked in to the room.
"Can I steal the shower?" She sighed.
"Yeah you better you smell funny. What is that smell?" Kane asked.
"It's the residue of all the pot ever," Kayla said.
"That's what it smells like?" Kane asked wrinkling his nose.
Kayla shrugged.
"Kinda. It smells better when it's burning," she said.
Kayla headed back toward the shower.
Al/Cena
"Well I guess we got away with that one." Cena said.
"Are you kidding. Even Head knows Vince knows what it smells like. I don't know why he didn't call us on it." Al said.
"Are you serious?'" Cena asked.
"Yeah. Shane smokes it sometimes. Vince was young in the 60's how could he not know what it smells like."
"Oh man." Cena said as they entered the locker room.
Kayla/Taker/Sammy/J.J./Kane
Kayla showered and redressed quickly, then she returned to the main room and looked for Kane.
When she came out she saw Kane sitting with his brother. They seemed to be deep in conversation.
Sammy was on her computer and J.J. was cleaning camera equipment.
I guess it isn't talking time yet. She thought. Do I wait around or leave?
Just then J.J. beckoned her over.
Oh fuck me, here it comes. She thought as she reluctantly walked over.
"I'm not going to yell at you." J.J. said seeing the look on Kayla's face.
"Oh great. In this instance, not yelling at me may be worse," Kayla said.
"He's not going to say anything. I just want you to know you have to be careful what you say to him even and especially when you are stoned." J.J. said quietly so Kane wouldn't overhear.
"I know that. I'm a fucking idiot and I feel terrible about it," Kayla said.
"I know you do." J.J. said. "Just don't do it again. He has enough self-esteem issues."
Kayla sighed.
"I should probably take off," she said.
Before she could leave J.J. leaned over and hugged her. "Don't beat yourself up over this. He'll be fine." She said softly.
Kayla shook her head.
"I still need to try and fix it," she said.
"He's going to say it's fine." J.J. said. "He always does."
"I know... But fuck everything," Kayla said.
J.J. laughed.
