Chapter 7:

Amelia woke up feeling better than she felt the previous day, she had a hunch today was going to be a good day and the reason for that hunch knocked on her door the minute she stepped out of the bathroom having washed her face and brushed her teeth.

"Who is it" she called out, "uh it's Brock" came the answer. She fumbled around her room trying to tidy it up in as little time as possible to welcome her surprised but welcomed guest in and finally she opened the door and said "good morning, please come in" and with that Brock smiled and returned her greeting and followed her into the room.

"So what brings you to mi casa today?" Mia said with a playful tone to which Brock replied "well I actually wanted to ask if you would like to have breakfast with me, this hotel's food is shit if I'm being honest so me, Kurt and some of his buddies are going to Ihop for some good decent food" Mia's eyes could practically be headlights with the way they brightened at his request , she never would have thought she'd actually be casually having breakfast with Brock Lesnar as she finally regained enough consciousness she replied "of course I'll be happy to come with you, just let me get dressed and I'll be right with you" "I'll wait at the door" he called out chuckling as she scurried to her suitcase for something to wear, she ended up putting on some black jeans an iron maiden shirt and some converse and she met her new friend at her door "let's go?" she said "let's" he confirmed.

In the next hour she found herself smiling and the happiest she's been in a couple months what with the relentless borderline torture ensued by none other than Paul levesque, but she didn't want to think about that prick , she was happy and content . "So Mia let me tell you when I saw you bust down Brock's door I thought two things either she'll rip him a new one or she better have written her will already" Kurt said chuckling to which she replied laughing as well "honestly at that time I was just full of adrenaline and I couldn't think straight but I was still terrified ""good thing I turned out to be a not so bad guy huh?" Brock said trying to curve the conversation from his rude outburst but Mia wasn't going to let him have it and so she said "yeah after you rudely yelled at me and made me cry" and with that Brock started fake coughing "do you like the pancakes or should we order something new" and with that the whole table started laughing , Mia never would have guessed that he was like this , joking and being a good sport but sadly her good mood was ruined by the one person she never wanted to see , she saw him walking through the door his arm lazily around his presumed girlfriend fiancé wife whatever not paying attention to anything so she grabbed Brock's arm and said "can we leave please I forgot I had a really important thing I need to do " Brock looked confused but still went along and they said their goodbye's to the group , she felt a little sad she was having so much fun but she allowed that snake again to ruin her day .

"Mia are you okay" Brock said a little concerned , his friend was doing fine and laughing and being happy and suddenly it was as if a switch has been flipped inside her and now she was frowning with lines were marking her forehead and she looked very much distracted but she still smiled at him and said "oh yeah I'm okay it's just I completely forgot this thing and it's really important so" the giant man next to her wanted to press further but decided against it, they still weren't as close and he still needs to get to know her better to find out when she's lying.

"Okay, if you say so. But I hope you liked breakfast, I kind of wanted us to have it alone since I haven't been able to talk with you and you know I appreciate your advice but Kurt really wanted to talk to you, he's actually a huge fan" he said bringing back her genuine smile, she didn't know though at what she was smiling at, was it the confession that he enjoyed her company and advice or the fact that THE Kurt angle was a fan of HER "wow Broccoli didn't know you actually made use of my advice I thought I was talking to a brick wall" she replied giggling "hey I take offence to that" the said man replied trying to sound offended but eventually smiled "so where am I driving you?" he asked as made a turn and with that Mia remembered her lie , where would she ask him to take her where? Where? Then finally

"Back to the hotel" she finally blurted out "Your really important thing is at the hotel?" he questioned "yeah uh, Amy needs me for something, can't say though girl secrets" she finished with a nervous giggle "okay then back to the hotel it is".

As she laid on her bed Amelia thought to what could she possible do to save herself from such fate, she never would have thought that she would continuously be terrorized like this she has to think of a way out , she can't go to Vince I mean it's his daughter's boyfriend ,fiancé ,husband WHATEVER she sighed and headed down to the lobby , she asked Glen to meet with her there , she was contemplating telling him, she knew if she did tell him he'll be there for her and protect her, he was the first to take her under his wing and she was sure he'll protect her

"Hey ,Mia " a voice called out to her as she turned a huge smile was planted on her face , it was the man who gave her a new life , the American dream himself Dusty Rhodes "Dustyyyyyy oh my god it's been so long" she said as she accepted his arms and went in for a hug , it truly has been a long time since she was able to see him in the flesh and actually talk to him, and she was overjoyed she found him at such time , it was like he was heaven sent to her.

"so how has my little Mia been doing, I've only been seeing good things from you every time you enter that ring, why is it that old McMahon won't give you the title for huh?" he asked her bringing her to a couch to sit down "oh dusty I really have no idea, he told me to talk to Stephanie but she's about as easy to catch as air, and even when I did catch her and talked to her she gave me that match with Lesnar knowing full well he didn't care about winning as much as he did about hurting big show" she finished her littler rant with a pout "oh they got my poor little baby Mia in the ring with that behemoth Lesnar " dusty said caressing her hair "No actually I'm kind of glad for that , we are actually friends now, can you believe it me friends with Brock Lesnar you know how much respect I have for him right dusty" "oh yes of course how can I forget how excited you were when he first debuted , you just about had stars in your eyes my dove, but I want you to be careful around him, I haven't officially been introduced to him and even though Heyman says he' a good kid , I can't help but think differently"

"Oh no Dusty, weren't you the one who taught me not to judge these superstars by their in ring persona that they're nothing alike, and most importantly that the bad guys are always the nicest? Or did you forget" she said in a scolding tone and she found it ironic as he said this to her when she first saw Kane , don't get her wrong she was a huge fan of his as proven by her first encounter with him, but his actions on TV really made her think he was the bad guy they promoted him to be , but that couldn't be furthest from the truth, Glen was a kind person with the warmest smile always ready to help and give advice to the newcomers and doesn't mind losing to them either , she smiled thinking of her friend and then remembered "oh crap I'm so sorry dusty Glen is waiting for me , but we'll talk very soon I really do miss you" "of course dove I miss you so very much too, but go hang out with Glen for now and we'll eventually catch up, you are still coming over for the Christmas party though aren't you" "of course I wouldn't miss it for the world" and with that they said their goodbyes.

The Christmas party was a tradition of the Runnels household, ever since she joined the family she had been present for every party, it was mostly familial as in only close relatives attended but this year Dusty decided to branch out and invite more people specifically from the WWE , it was going to be fun Mia thought to herself as long as that one person doesn't attend , call it manifesting but she stayed repeating that phrase to herself until she believed it , "Mia over here " the voice of Glen Jacobs aka Kane rang in her ear and with that she was awoken from her daydream like state and went into conversation with her first ever friend in the WWE.

She didn't tell him after all, she was terrified would he believe her, would he dismiss it, would he talk to him directly or worse Vince or even worse Stephanie then she'd definitely be fired for good, Stephanie McMahon was vindictive and jealous and possessive she didn't want people to so much as look at anything that belonged to her, and yes in her mind Paul Levesque belonged to her.

Mia sighed as she changed into her ring gear, she didn't know why they asked her to change into her gear considering she didn't have a match this smack down, or the next or the one after that, she had been blacklisted it seems and she knew that parasite had something to do with it, but still they told her she had to film a segment and for that she needed her gear for it and so she obliged.

"Mia we need you in 5 "a stage hand called out to her and so she finished strapping her boots and headed out following him, the segment direct reached out to her and said "okay so what's going to happen is you'll just be standing here and Trish will bump into you she'll start talking and all you need to do is stand there and look annoyed and when she finishes talking you say 'oh don't worry you'll see me sooner than you think' and then walk away, I know it doesn't make sense now but when she actually starts talking you'll see, okay now let's get ready everyone" and with that he was gone, she was thoroughly confused at this but still she had to do what she was asked to do and so she stood near the food table holding an empty cup pretending to sip from it while idly reading a magazine and the cameras started rolling soon after someone bumped into her and she figured it was Trish and her suspicions were confirmed once she heard.

"oh sorry didn't see you there , I must say you are quite invisible with your uh lack of achievements" The Canadian bombshell said with a tight smile , still Mia didn't say anything because the script said not to and so miss Stratus continued "nothing to say huh? Typical of you , really gave it your all during that match but like always the strong prevails, anyways it's actually kind of sad that I'm not going to be seeing you at Armageddon when I win my title since , you will be at home watching" she finished with a light giggle and Amelia took that as her cue to turn to Trish smile and say "oh don't worry, you'll see me sooner than you think" and with that she dropped her smile and turned to walk away "cut" the director's voice rang in her ears as she turned back to head to him "so is this like new script because I wasn't informed of anything like this" she questioned "oh yeah, higher ups wanted a change thanks to the crowd's reaction to you and Lesnar's match they were all rooting for you and the bad reviews came rolling in after you were eliminated from the title picture so they decided to add you in the Armageddon title match, made it into a triple threat" and with that her face lit up and she almost hugged the man in front of her but chose to thank him instead and ran to a certain someone's locker-room to deliver the great news.
