Chapter 5: Impacts

"Dear Diary,

Hey, this must be a record, two entries in two days! Anyway, Paul has totally screwed up EVERYTHING. He only went and kissed the new girl, Marie. He says he hasn't, but I think he's fallen for her. Goodbye world, Vince will shoot me tomorrow. Why can things never be simple? I mean, why can't Dwayne wake up and realise I like him. A lot. And why does Lance Storm keep disappearing, I'm supposed to be finding who Chris likes!

Izzie"

I never really keep a diary, but in these hectic days, I decided to jot down the occasional thought. Over the past few months, I'd been writing more and more, and I seemed to start relying on it to vent my frustrations.

******

I was sitting in my office, when somebody knocked on the door. Unusual. Anyway, I was absorbed in the cards for the night, and I yelled "Come in!". When I looked up, my breath caught in the back of my throat. Standing in front of me was a deliveryman with one of the largest bouquets I had ever laid my eyes on.

"Miss Laeman? These are for you" said the delivery boy.

"You sure?" I asked, surprised. He nodded, and put the flowers on my desk. The red flowers brightened up the whole room, they were gorgeous. I put my nose in the bunch, and smelled the fresh aroma of the flowers. I found a card, and with trembling hands, I opened it.

"To Izzie,

May you find me a decent storyline soon,

Love, J"

J. Johnson. Dwayne Johnson. The Rock!!! It had to be, he didn't have a big storyline at the minute, all he did was slag off Stephanie. My heart skipped and a huge grin spread across my face. He actually knew I existed. Wow. Big time. Wow.

Suddenly, my problems weren't so huge any more.

******

Chris walked down the hallway, and stopped outside Izzie's office. He took a deep breath, and was about to walk in when he heard Paul talking.

"Dwayne sent you flowers? How can you tell they're from him?"

Izzie's crystal voice responded. "Look, J, Johnson, it has to be Dwayne!"

Chris walked back to his locker room slowly. It was a shock to him what she had said. Not the flowers, but who sent them. Chris knew the J stood for Jericho.

******

Hunter was back in his locker room, and he heard a knock on the door. "Hi Trish" he said, his eyes opening ever so slightly wider. She was dressed in gorgeous black trousers and she had a small, fluffy pink top on. She looked gorgeous.

"Hi Paul" she said, smiling at The Game. "I was just walking past and I decided to see how you were doing." She stepped forward, with the smile still on her face. Hunter smiled back at her, remembering just how pretty she was. Marie was just a mistake, we were both drunk, and nothing actually happened.



But it would have… if SHE hadn't stopped it.

******

Stephanie walked into the female locker room, and dumped down her bag in disgust. Until recently, she has had her own, large locker room, and she'd been treated like a princess.

Now, because she wasn't with HHH any more, she had to degrade herself to the level of getting changed in the same room as Lita, Trish, Nidia and Jackie. Luckily, the new girl Marie changed in the Developmental Female room, it would have been too much to bear to have to share a room with her!

She was the only one in the room, and she sat down, and sneakily pulled out a bar of chocolate. She smiled, and pulled off the wrapping; nobody knew about her vice. She shoved a section of the bar in her mouth, and she was savouring the taste as somebody walked into the room. Hastily, she hid the bar from sight, and was about to look round the corner to see who had interrupted her, but the voices stopped her.

"Yeah, I'm taking my stuff to his room now." Said one voice, unmistakeably Trish's.

"Wow" responded somebody else, who was Nidia. "I can't believe you!"

"Follow me if you like!" laughed Trish, and Nidia joined in the laughter.

"But still, I thought you hated him." Nidia said, sounding thoughtful.

"Well, he'll be a good bodyguard, and he adores me." Trish responded. "Come on, I can't keep The Game waiting!"

Stephanie just about choked on the chocolate, she couldn't believe Trish has back stabbed her like that. She had told her about Marie to stop them becoming an item, and the Canadian had just gone and betrayed her! And Hunter, too! He was easy, yet she couldn't get her hands on him. This called for revenge.

******

"Hi, Dwayne!" sand Stephanie's voice, as she entered The Rock's locker room. This was the sort of room she should be in, large, furnished, comfortable. Dwayne's face lit up as Stephanie approached him.

Uurgh. She didn't really like him, but it would sure snub Paul, and she knew he was an easy target; he fancied her.

Hahahaha. He's so gullible.

******

I was sitting in my office, all alone, contemplating on what to do about the flowers. Every time I saw them, smelled them or even thought about them, I felt a swelling of happiness. Dwayne Johnson actually knew I existed, and he liked me! Wow. This was Big Stuff in Izzieland. Should I go see him, or leave it? I should really be stalking Lance, or reviewing next week's cards, but I was too excited to concentrate.

I flicked on the radio, and it was one of those freaky moments, when you think "wow, fate!" cos it's a song that just speaks to what's going on around you. I started singing along, happily.

"What I want is for you to be with me

Loving you everyday would be easy

What I know is that we will never be

But that doesn't stop me from wanting the dream of reality"



"Nice singing." A voice said, and I leapt around, to see Vince. *Gulp*

"Hi, Mr McMahon" I squeaked.

"Have you finished the 'Love circle' story, yet, Miss Laeman?" he asked me in his most intimidating voice. "You need to spend more time on other stories."

"Vince, this thing is going to be a big project. Huge. It'll produce fights worthy of Wrestlemania, and we can't afford to drop it, no matter how long it lasts." I said, still blushing from being caught 'singing'. "Don't you remember to poll? It said that we lacked continuity. And fans want continuity."

"I've been very accommodating with your ideas, Miss Laeman, but you better know that I own this company, not you. And if you're not careful, and respect who you're supposed to, you may end up not being Head of Talent Productions!" Vince yelled at me. He stormed out of the room, leaving me sitting there, pale and surprised. That was the first tantrum he'd thrown at me, and it was quite real, quite nerve-wracking, and very threatening.









I hate love.
