Okay the day from hell just kept getting worse. Josh and Megan the two apprentices that was put in charge of me, were preppy kids from hell. They were both 16. Megan took one look at me and started in. "You look stupid. Eminem reeks." She said. "Who asked you bitch?" I said. "You can't talk to her like that." Josh said. "Who the hell are you, idiot, I cam talk anyway I want too." I said. Finally James came over and told us to quit fighting and got us started. The work was hard but time went fast and I was learning a lot in spite of the two preppy from hell. They both spent a lot of time making my afternoon hell. Josh tripped me very chance he got. Of course I called him every name in the book. But he was ten times bigger than me no way could I take him so I pretty much had to put up with it. Finally it was time for a break. I didn't even go to the cafeteria. I went outside and had a smoke and calmed down. Those two idiots had everyone making fun of me now and no one seemed to like me. I went back after 15 minutes. I started to get back to work. Megan came over and smirked at me. "I heard that you are Mr. McMahon's Bastard kid and that he didn't even want you." She said. God that spread faster than I thought it would. "At least I got parents. I bet you crawled out of a Jackal." I said. "You little bitch, it's no wonder no one wants you. Just look at you. You look like a half breed or something." She said. Everybody was laughing. "Fuck you." I muttered and went back to work. They picked on me all evening but mostly I just ignored them. Finally at 7:00 PM. James said we were through. I grabbed my back pack and left. God I hated this place.
I found my self a trunk sitting in a nice quite corner and pulled out my laptop. I figured since I had the evenings free. I would work on my courses in the evening that way I would have my mornings free.
I got up stretched and looked at my watch. It was 10:00PM. I decided to go on to Mark's dressing room and wait. I went into his dressing room. I pulled 'Lord of the Rings' out and decided to read while I waited for him. I get really engrossed when I read. The next thing I knew I looked at my watch and it was almost 1:00 AM. I laid my book down. Where the hell was Mark? No way could I have missed him. He told me to meet him here. I went to the door and looked out. The hallways were dark. Oh great the place is shut down. I looked around the dressing room for a phone. None to be found. Okay great. I'm not one to panic. But the thought of spending the night hear by myself was not my idea of fun.
Mark's head was killing him. He had taken a chair shot to the head. He had had to go to the medic to see if he had a concussion which he didn't. He had gone strait to his room ordered dinner and went to bed. He looked at the clock 1:30 AM. Suddenly he shot up straight in bed. You damn idiot he thought to himself. You forgot Hailey. He went to the connecting door to her room to see if she had got a ride with some one else. No sign of her. "Shit." He said. He pulled on his clothes and picked up his cell phone. He called coliseum security and asked them to meet him at the entrance with a key. He would start there, maybe she was still there. He couldn't believe her first day with him he had done this shit. He grabbed his keys and took off.
I was not a happy camper. I was hungry, tired and yes scared. This place was seriously creepy in the dark. I had ventured out to look for a phone but it was so dark and creepy that I didn't go far. I sat in Mark's dressing room thinking about all the ways I would get him back for leaving me here. Maybe he decided he didn't want to fool with me. Maybe he changed his mind. I had a really shitty day and it was starting to get to me. I lit a smoke and tried to calm down.
The guard let Mark in and he headed for the dressing room hoping she was still there. Damn this place is creepy when its shut down Mark thought. He opened the door and sighed in relief when he saw her sitting there with her head on the table. She looked up at him and he figured she was going to have a fit.
"You forgot me? Didn't you?" I asked. He looked frantic. "I'm so sorry Hailey." He said. Honestly I was so glad to see him I didn't say all the mean stuff I had rehearsed earlier. Right before he came in I think I was going to cry, but he's here so I blinked them back. I was cold, hungry and sleepy and I just wanted out of here. Mark came over and slipped his Jacket on me which I accepted. 'At least you came back." I mumbled. "Of course I did. I'm really sorry. Tomorrow I will get you a cell phone so this doesn't happen again." He said. We walked toward the exit. "Forget things a lot do you?" I asked. "Not things like this." Mark said. We got his truck which was 5 feet in the air. He opened the door and just up and set me up in it which was probably good would have took me all night to climb in. I laid my head against the window and sort of dozed on the way back to the hotel.
We finally got to the rooms. Mark let me in and I went to the connecting door and went to my room. I took a shower and put on a big t-shirt and plopped on the bed. Damn I was starving and room service wasn't open this late.
Mark sat on his bed. She hadn't said much to him. Hell not that he blamed her. Poor kid what a day she had. He wondered if she had anything to eat for dinner.
I was lying in the bed trying to put my poor stomach out of my mind when the door opened. Mark came and sat on the bed. "Here it's the best I could do this late." He said. He handed me a pack of crackers, a candy bar and a soda. He must have hit the vending machine. "Works for me." I said and I wolfed it down. I drank the soda and lay back on the bed. "I'm really sorry honey. I aint doing so good at this am I?" Mark asked. I looked at him. He really felt bad. "I aint dead or nothing don't sweat it." I said. "Tough one aint ya?" He said. I just shrugged. "Okay get some sleep. I'll get ya a huge breakfast in the morning." He said. "Yea I think you owe me one." I said. He just laughed. "That's for damn sure. Tomorrow will be better. I promise." Mark said. "Don't make promised you can't keep." I said and turned away from him. Mark got up and went back to his room. I climbed under my covers and fell asleep.
Mark closed her door and stood there for a moment. Hailey was definitely going to be a tough nut to crack. But he had time and patience on his side.
