A/N: Thank you so much for the reviews. I honestly didn't think I
would get any. Casey is like me in many ways. She, well, is me. She's
got my personality and everything. One difference is that I got accepted to
college. I'll be attending the University of Southern Maine in September.
Jessy is my best friend in really life. Actually, my parents were going to
name me Casey, so that's why I decided to use that name. The parent
situation isn't exactly the same, but I don't have the best in the world.
I would never runaway either. It's just a thought I've had tons of times.
Anyways, I'm glad you like the story!!!!
There was a single twin bed in the room with a ripped up old comforter on it. I sat down and looked at the old t.v. that sat on a rickety old dresser. I reached to the power button and turned it on. There came nothing but snow. I changed the channel, but it seemed that every channel I went to was all snow. I gave up and turned it off. Trish had given me her cell phone number so I decided I would try and call her. Maybe that would calm my nerves. I picked the receiver up and got no sound from it. I looked at the cord and saw that it had been cut.
"Great!! I don't even have a phone!" I yelled to myself.
I took out my journal and pen and began to write. As I started to jot my thoughts down I began to hear screams and moans from the room next door. I sighed and began listening to my music. It wasn't long before my bed and the wall began to move and shake. Obviously the room next door was having fun.
"Maybe taking a nice warm shower will make me feel better. I can just relax and ignore THAT!!" I stood up and made my way to the bathroom. When I turned on the light and had a chance to look around, I began to feel sick and scared. The sink looked like it hadn't been washed in months and I don't even want to get started on the toilet. I looked in the shower and it looked to be pretty clean. I took off my clothes and wrapped a towel around me. I reached inside the stall and turned the water on. There was no water. I tried it again thinking I just didn't turn it enough. Still no water. "Now I know why the shower is clean! Damn!!"
I got dressed back into Jeff's pants and Matt's shirt. I sat back down on the bed and let out a long and deep sigh. 'What have I gotten myself into?!' I thought. I went back to my writing trying to ignore the noises that seemed to be getting louder. I had been in that room for about a half hour when I heard the doorknob start to turn. I immediately jumped up and readied myself for a fight. I was ready to take out all my aggressions onto this intruder. When the door finally opened I flew at the person. I kicked him to the floor and sat on his chest punching the hell out of him. I didn't even look at the person. All I knew was that I was in an unsafe and unhealthy place and this person could be here to kill me or rape me.
"WHOA!!! Casey, chill!! Stop!" the person yelled. I recognized that voice, but it didn't hit me until he held my hands tightly and stopped me from hitting him. I looked into the face that held deep green eyes. Into a face that I've looked at millions of times. Into a face that I had gotten to know fairly well earlier in the night. "Are ya done yet!?"
I sat up on his chest and looked at him. He was no intruder, he was a friend. "JEFF!!! What the hell are you doing here?"
"If you'd get off me, I'd be more than happy to tell you." I stood up and looked towards the open door. In the doorway stood Matt, Amy, and Trish. They all had worried looks on their faces. I helped Jeff up and motioned for them all to come in. I sat on the bed and held my head in my hands. Trish sat next to me and put a comforting arm around me. I looked up at Jeff as he rubbed his jaw. "Damn, girl. You've got one hard punch!"
"I'm sorry. I didn't know who you were and I was just trying to protect myself. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I've had worse." He smiled and it seemed to make me feel better, safer.
"What are you guys doing here?" I asked as Amy sat on the other side of me.
"We talked after you left and decided to follow you. We were afraid of what could happen to you in a place like this," Matt said.
"Yeah, I mean the guy at the front desk was enough for me to leave!" Trish said with a laugh.
"Anyways, we couldn't just leave you here alone. It wasn't right. But obviously we were wrong and you can take care of yourself," Matt said looking at Jeff who's cheek had started to bruise. They started to walk towards the door and a sudden feeling of doom washed over me. I was petrified to be by myself in this place. I knew I couldn't be alone. Nothing would be able to make me feel safe in this hellhole.
"Wait. You guys, I'm so scared. I don't know what to do. I have no t.v., no water, and no phone. Please don't leave me here." A tear of fright rolled down my cheek and Matt walked back to me. He wrapped his arms around me and I let my tears go.
"Shhh..It'll be okay. I promise. We're gonna take you out of here and out to Dennys and then we'll figure what do after that. Is that okay?" Matt asked as I sobbed on his shoulder. He rubbed my back as Amy and Trish sat back down next to me. Matt pulled back and wiped my cheek with his hand. I nodded and Jeff started to pick up my things. Trish took my hand and led me out of the room with the others right behind us.
We walked down to the parking lot and Jeff threw my bags in the trunk of an escort. Matt and Amy climbed into a neon that was parked next to it. Jeff got into the drivers seat of the escort and as I got into the passenger seat. Trish got into the backseat and rode with us. We followed Amy and Matt to a near by Dennys. We entered the restaurant to the sounds of Elvis and talking. We were seated in a round booth. Matt was on one side of me and Jeff was on the other. We weren't there long before a waiter came over asking for our orders. He was tall, about 6'3". He had spiked blond hair, goatee, and was fairly buff. His eyes were an incredible electric blue color that looked like that ocean. I was immediately attached to them.
"And what can I get for you?" he asked me snapping me out of my daydream.
"I'll have the sampler, with honey mustard," I said sweetly. I gave him a flirtatious smile. He returned the smile.
"Anything to drink?"
"Can I get a chocolate shake?" I bit on my lower lip and looked up at him. He grinned a winning smile. One like you'd see Edge give. I began to hear Jeff and Matt snicker and saw Amy elbow Matt in the stomach.
"Yeah, of course. I'll bring your drinks right out to you." He walked away smiling and I watched him leave. He wore semi-tight jeans that outlined his butt so well. He was definitely on my hot guy list.
"Flirt much?!" Matt said as Jeff burst out laughing.
"Flirt? I don't flirt. I have never flirted ever!! So I have no idea what you're talking about." I wasn't lying either. I didn't flirt, never have, and never will. Okay, so maybe I had my rare occasional flirting.
"You were so flirting!" Matt said laughing with Jeff.
"I was not!"
"Can I get a chocolate shake," Jeff said imitating my voice and actions. I glared at him as he continued. "I'll have the sampler." He was really working it. He got Trish and Amy to join in the laughter. Okay, so maybe he was being funny. "And you have a nice ass too!!"
"Okay!! I so did not say that!!"
"Maybe not, but you were thinking it." I pushed Jeff and crossed my arms as I frowned.
"So what if I was?"
"Casey, I have to agree with the guys. You really did work some magic on that poor guy," Trish said.
"You've got a talent there girl. Use it for the good of man will ya," Amy said. I began to laugh.
"I want you all to know that I have never flirted like that before ever! Hell, I didn't know that I was doing it just then. I guess I have no control over it or something." The waiter came back with our drinks and the guys tried to hold in their laughs as best as they could. The waiter looked kind of hurt, and thought they were laughing at him. "Don't mind them. They're laughing at me. They just don't know how to shut up."
"Oh okay. Your food will be ready shortly." He smiled his smile again and walked away. Again, I was drawn to his butt and Jeff noticed. He burst right out laughing.
"Oh shut up!! Gees..I'm not that bad am I?" I looked towards Trish and Amy and they nodded.
"I'm afraid you're pretty bad. You play the sweet girl act very well," Trish smiled and Jeff didn't lighten up on the laughing. Then, Jeff stood up and began to walk after the waiter.
"Where are you going?" Amy asked.
"To find Casey's hot waiter and bring him back. I want another show. I don't think I can wait until our food is ready for one. Plus, I was going to tell him that she's available and thinks he's got a nice ass." Jeff smiled at me and I glared at him. I jumped up and grabbed his arm, pulling him back to the table. "What's the matter? Don't want him to know? I think he should."
"You are gonna sit here, not move, and not say anything to him when he comes back. Okay?!" I ordered.
"Yes ma'am." Jeff saluted me and smiled sarcastically. Then I turned to Matt who was still laughing.
" The same goes for you!" Matt immediately stopped laughing. Amy, Trish, and I began to laugh when we looked at his expression. He looked rather shocked and confused. He began to glare at Amy for laughing at my comments. Our food arrived shortly after and Jeff began to open his mouth, but I covered it with my hand. The waiter left after making sure we had everything we needed. Once he turned into the kitchen, Jeff licked my hand. My jaw dropped to the floor in disgust and I quickly took my hand away. Jeff smiled slyly at me as I looked at my hand. "EWWWW!!!! That is soo gross! I can't believe you just did that!"
"That'll teach ya to put your hand there." I quickly wiped my hand on his shirtsleeve has everyone stared at us. Jeff laughed and began to eat. I continued to wipe off his spit on his shirt.
"What'd you do?" Amy asked.
"Oh I just licked her hand," he said with a mouth full of French toast. Amy gave him a look of disgust and went back to her food.
"I have some disinfectant hand wash stuff from Bath N' Body Works if you want to use it," Trish said reaching into her purse.
"Hey, I don't have any diseases or anything."
"Are you sure? I don't know. Sometimes I wonder about that. Casey, you may have to get some sort of shot," Trish said continuing the Jeff bashing.
"Yeah, I am starting to feel a little weird. Kinda sick like. What the hell did you give me?!" I said putting a hand to my forehead. Amy reached across Matt and put her hand up to my cheek and felt to see if I was warm.
"I didn't give you anything!! I swear, I've got nothing! Matt, bro, back me up here," Jeff pleaded. Matt just put his hand on my other cheek and shook his head.
"Casey, hun, you do feel a little warm. Don't you agree Matt?" Amy asked. Matt nodded his head in agreement.
"I think, I think, I think I'm gonna.."I closed my eyes and leaned my head back pretending to pass out. Jeff dropped his fork in his syrup and stared at me. Trish, Amy, and Matt looked right at him. He took my hand and tried waking me. He put his other hand on my cheek and put his face close to mine.
"Casey, please, wake up! I'm sorry. I know I don't have anything deadly! Gees, maybe she's allergic to my spit or something!" Jeff started to spaz out. I knew I couldn't make him go through it much longer, although it was very funny.
I popped my eyes open and he stopped yelling. "Jeff, GOT YA!!!" He let go of my hand and face and looked at me. His mouth dropped open as the others laughed.
"You were joking?" I nodded. "I hate you all. I really thought you got sick."
"I know cause I'm THAT damn good!" I smiled, but he didn't smile back. My smile faded as I looked into his caring green eyes. 'Wow, I really hurt him' I thought. His smile soon returned to his face. I raised my eyebrows at him. I knew he had a plan in his head. I just didn't know what.
"You know, you're a really good actress. But, I'm, I'm gonna get you back. Soon!" He went back to eat snickering a little bit. My face grew into a worried expression. 'Oh no. What have I done' I thought as I ate an onion ring.
"So Casey, tell us about yourself," Trish said putting salt on her French fries.
"Like what? I don't have much to tell."
"Tell us anything and everything," Amy said.
"Alright. First off, please call me Case. That's my nickname. I have two older sisters that I'm very close to. Or were close to. I'm 18, from Maine, born in New York. What else do you wanna know?"
"What's your fave band, color, clothing brand, things like that?" Trish asked getting more specific.
"What do you wanna do with your life? What are your dreams?" Amy asked.
"I love Old Navy. I like the colors blue and black. I like a lot of bands. I'm a fan of Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Aerosmith. I'm big fan of Janet Jackson, Ashanti, Ja Rule. And as for my dreams, hmmm..I wanna be in the music business. I wanna sing, dance, produce, write, and manage. I hopefully someday want to run my own music company. I want to give all those people with good voices a chance. There are so many out there that'll never amount to anything because of where they live. I want to find those people and help them get the push they need. That's what I want to do. I've also thought about trying wrestling. I just started getting into that. I use to wrestle my guy friends all the time. They would always tell me to stay back and ref. Yeah like I'd do that! I would always ambush one of them. I kicked their ass too."
"I have no doubt in that. Especially how you kicked mine so well earlier," Jeff said.
"You have so many goals. You really want to accomplish a lot. Definitely work for em. We'll help you in any way we can. We can especially help you in the wrestling department," Trish said smiling.
"Thanks. At least I know some people care!" I said looking towards Jeff remembering how he had freaked out earlier. I smiled at the thought. 'Maybe running away was a good idea' I thought.
We continued to eat and talked about random things. Some of it was about wrestling and some about me. When we finished the hot waiter came back and took some of our plates.
"Here's your check. You can pay me up at the counter." He walked away smiling and I looked over Jeff's shoulder to read the check. Everything, but my food seemed to be on there.
"There's something wrong with the check. My food isn't on there."
"Well I guess someone has a crush on you," Matt said snickering.
"It wouldn't matter if it was on there or not. You wouldn't be paying anyways. We'd be paying for you," Jeff said.
"Well, than it's good thing it's not on there cause I wouldn't be letting you pay for me. Or at least I'd be pitching in for it." We stood up from the booth as Trish left a 7-dollar tip. Jeff and I walked up to the counter where the waiter was standing, waiting for us. The others walked out as Jeff paid for the meal. "I think you made a mistake. My food wasn't on there."
"I know. It wasn't a mistake. It's on me." He smiled that wining smile and I returned it with one of my own.
"Thanks. I really appreciate it." I walked out the door and left Jeff standing there.
"Man, you really did a good job on her. She thinks you're hot man," Jeff said getting change.
"Really? She does? She's pretty cute herself."
"Dude, if I was you, I'd let her know that!" Jeff leaned against the counter as the waiter walked out the door. He soon followed, wanting a closer look of his handy work. He stood in the doorway as the guy caught up to me and grabbed my arm. I looked at him as he smiled. He took out a piece of paper and placed it in my hand. He put his face next to mine.
"I think you're really cute. Give me a call. My name is Seth." He kissed my cheek and walked back towards Jeff. Trish, Matt, and Amy stared at me as I looked at the phone number in my hand. I looked at Jeff as he gave Seth a high five. Jeff sauntered passed me as I glared at him.
"You told him something, didn't you?!"
"Maybe, maybe not. You should really call him sometime..who knows, maybe we can all get a free dinner sometime." Jeff grinned. I ran after him and jumped on his back. He wrapped his arms around my legs as I pounded playfully on his head. I took his hat off and placed it on my head. I then wrapped my arms around his neck and let him carry me to the car. Amy and Matt shook their heads at us and Trish stood there laughing. He put me down and we got into the cars.
"So, are ya'll gonna take me back to that hellhole of a hotel?" I questioned.
"No way! That place doesn't even belong to be opened," Trish said. "You can stay with me in my hotel room."
"You didn't even see the bathroom or get to hear the people in the next room having fun." I looked back at Trish. "Are you sure you won't mind me in your room?"
"I'm positive. It's either that or stay with disease boy over there." Trish smiled as I made a face.
"Hey! I saw that!" Jeff said.
"Good! I'm glad ya saw that!" I stuck my tongue out at him as he looked over at me. I quickly pulled my tongue back in my mouth and smiled innocently.
"I hate to ask, but what was wrong with the bathroom?" Trish asked curiously.
"Well, the shower was really clean, but there was no water. The sink looked like it hadn't been cleaned in God only knows how long. I swear things were growing in it. And I can't even bare to talk about the toilet." Trish made a disgusted look, as did Jeff. "You guys really did save me. I just want to thank you. And I figured it wouldn't be a bad room. The number 2 is my favorite number and it was room 22. I figured any room with two twos has to be okay. I guess I was wrong."
We arrived at the Holiday Inn they were staying at Jeff carried my bags for me. We got in an elevator and rode it to the second floor. We all walked into Trish's room and relaxed on the floor and beds.
"Do ya'll mind if I go take a shower? I haven't had one since last night and feel all icky." I took out my shampoo and conditioner.
"I knew I smelled something gross in here! I just figured it was Matt," Jeff commented.
"You know, Amy was right about you."
"Oh no. What was she right about?" Jeff looked up at me with worry in his eyes. Amy obviously had a lot of dirt on him and he must have thought I knew something bad.
"Just that you're quiet when you first meet someone, but have trouble shutting up when you get to know them," I answered.
"Well, I see she was right about you as well. You see, she told me the same thing about you." Jeff smiled devilishly at me and I walked into the bathroom.
I stepped into the shower and let the warm water wash over me. It seemed to be washing away all my worries. When I had gotten out I felt like a new person. I was ready to face the world once again. But this time I wasn't alone. I had a few people out in the room that would face it with me and help me anytime I needed it. I was great full for all they had done for me. It was more than I could ever ask for, especially from strangers. I walked back into the room wearing the same thing I had been wearing all nite. Jeff was on my bed talking to Matt and Amy who were seated on the floor in each other's arms. Trish had fallen asleep on her bed.
"Feel better?" Amy asked as I sat next to Jeff on the bed. I began to comb out my wet hair. I looked up at her and nodded.
"Yeah, I really do. It was like all my worries were being washed away." I looked at Jeff and noticed he was shielding his face from something. "Do you have problem?"
"Yeah, you keep getting me wet with your hair," he answered. I kneeled on the bed and over his head and rung out the water in my hair onto him. He quickly stood up off the bed. I sat down and smiled at him. "You're such a brat. Ya know that?"
"Actually, yeah, I did. But thanks for informing me anyways," I said in a sarcastic tone. Jeff smirked at me and sat on the floor next to Amy and Matt.
"Are you two done yet?" Matt asked. We nodded. "Good, cause we have some news for you. We were discussing what you would be doing tomorrow when we left. Well, before Trish fell asleep anyways. We all decided that you would come and travel with us. We just don't feel safe leaving you here all by yourself."
"That's real nice of you guys, but I can't do that. How am I going to afford all that transportation?" I asked as Trish began to stir. She sat up and looked at me.
"We'll help you pay for it all. And you can pay us back when you can get enough money," Trish said. She yawned and smiled.
"I don't know. What if I can't ever pay ya'll back?"
"Then don't worry about it. We're gonna try to see if we can get you some kind of job with the WWE anyways. Is there anything you can do and prove to Vince you can do it well?" Amy asked.
"Ummm..not really. I can't think of anything. Is there anything in particular that's open?"
"I think he's looking for some photographers. Can you take good pictures?" Matt asked.
"Yeah, I can. I'm always the one that takes the pictures in my group. I have brought pictures of the house show that was in Maine in November. Didn't you see them in there?" I asked as Jeff handed me my messenger bag. "No. They weren't wrapped in bags like the others were. I hope they didn't get ruined. That would be a good job for you. I mean, it would allow you to let out your creative juices and you could travel with us," Matt said as I searched through my bag. I pulled out a stack of pictures and handed them to Amy. Matt and Jeff looked over her shoulder as they looked through them. It wasn't long before Trish joined them. "Wow, they're really not bad. What kind of camera were you using?"
"Some 10-dollar one. It was really bad. It was auto focus. So I got whatever was closest to me."
"I love the RVD one. The one where he's up for the frog splash. How did you manage to get it at that moment?" Trish asked. I shrugged my shoulders as they continued to look.
"I think Vince would be very impressed. We'll have to get you to meet him. When are we going to see him again?" Amy asked.
"He's revealing the new RAW GM in two weeks. That would probably be the best time," Jeff answered. I yawned and fought to keep my eyes open. Matt seemed to notice this and handed the pictures back to me.
"We should all get to sleep. Our flight leaves at noon and we have to get there early if we're gonna get a ticket for Case. Plus I'm sure you wanna get some sleep. You've had a long and hard day. We'll see you in the morning," Matt said. He gave me a hug, as did Amy and Jeff. They left and I laid back on the bed. Trish did the same on the other bad.
"I'll see you in the morning. Sweet dreams." She rolled over and shortly fell asleep.
"I'm sure I will," I yawned. I quickly fell into a deep sleep.
There was a single twin bed in the room with a ripped up old comforter on it. I sat down and looked at the old t.v. that sat on a rickety old dresser. I reached to the power button and turned it on. There came nothing but snow. I changed the channel, but it seemed that every channel I went to was all snow. I gave up and turned it off.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know who you were and I was just trying to protect myself. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I've had worse." He smiled and it seemed to make me feel better, safer.
"What are you guys doing here?" I asked as Amy sat on the other side of me.
"We talked after you left and decided to follow you. We were afraid of what could happen to you in a place like this," Matt said.
"Yeah, I mean the guy at the front desk was enough for me to leave!" Trish said with a laugh.
"Anyways, we couldn't just leave you here alone. It wasn't right. But obviously we were wrong and you can take care of yourself," Matt said looking at Jeff who's cheek had started to bruise. They started to walk towards the door and a sudden feeling of doom washed over me. I was petrified to be by myself in this place. I knew I couldn't be alone. Nothing would be able to make me feel safe in this hellhole.
"Wait. You guys, I'm so scared. I don't know what to do. I have no t.v., no water, and no phone. Please don't leave me here." A tear of fright rolled down my cheek and Matt walked back to me. He wrapped his arms around me and I let my tears go.
"Shhh..It'll be okay. I promise. We're gonna take you out of here and out to Dennys and then we'll figure what do after that. Is that okay?" Matt asked as I sobbed on his shoulder. He rubbed my back as Amy and Trish sat back down next to me. Matt pulled back and wiped my cheek with his hand. I nodded and Jeff started to pick up my things. Trish took my hand and led me out of the room with the others right behind us.
We walked down to the parking lot and Jeff threw my bags in the trunk of an escort. Matt and Amy climbed into a neon that was parked next to it. Jeff got into the drivers seat of the escort and as I got into the passenger seat. Trish got into the backseat and rode with us. We followed Amy and Matt to a near by Dennys. We entered the restaurant to the sounds of Elvis and talking. We were seated in a round booth. Matt was on one side of me and Jeff was on the other. We weren't there long before a waiter came over asking for our orders. He was tall, about 6'3". He had spiked blond hair, goatee, and was fairly buff. His eyes were an incredible electric blue color that looked like that ocean. I was immediately attached to them.
"And what can I get for you?" he asked me snapping me out of my daydream.
"I'll have the sampler, with honey mustard," I said sweetly. I gave him a flirtatious smile. He returned the smile.

Plus, I was going to tell him that she's available and thinks he's got a nice ass." Jeff smiled at me and I glared at him. I jumped up and grabbed his arm, pulling him back to the table. "What's the matter? Don't want him to know? I think he should."
"You are gonna sit here, not move, and not say anything to him when he comes back. Okay?!" I ordered.
"Yes ma'am." Jeff saluted me and smiled sarcastically. Then I turned to Matt who was still laughing.
" The same goes for you!" Matt immediately stopped laughing. Amy, Trish, and I began to laugh when we looked at his expression. He looked rather shocked and confused. He began to glare at Amy for laughing at my comments. Our food arrived shortly after and Jeff began to open his mouth, but I covered it with my hand. The waiter left after making sure we had everything we needed. Once he turned into the kitchen, Jeff licked my hand. My jaw dropped to the floor in disgust and I quickly took my hand away. Jeff smiled slyly at me as I looked at my hand. "EWWWW!!!! That is soo gross! I can't believe you just did that!"
"That'll teach ya to put your hand there." I quickly wiped my hand on his shirtsleeve has everyone stared at us. Jeff laughed and began to eat. I continued to wipe off his spit on his shirt.
"What'd you do?" Amy asked.
"Oh I just licked her hand," he said with a mouth full of French toast. Amy gave him a look of disgust and went back to her food.
"I have some disinfectant hand wash stuff from Bath N' Body Works if you want to use it," Trish said reaching into her purse.
"Hey, I don't have any diseases or anything."
"Are you sure? I don't know. Sometimes I wonder about that. Casey, you may have to get some sort of shot," Trish said continuing the Jeff bashing.
"Yeah, I am starting to feel a little weird. Kinda sick like. What the hell did you give me?!" I said putting a hand to my forehead. Amy reached across Matt and put her hand up to my cheek and felt to see if I was warm.
"I didn't give you anything!! I swear, I've got nothing! Matt, bro, back me up here," Jeff pleaded. Matt just put his hand on my other cheek and shook his head.
"Casey, hun, you do feel a little warm. Don't you agree Matt?" Amy asked. Matt nodded his head in agreement.
"I think, I think, I think I'm gonna.."I closed my eyes and leaned my head back pretending to pass out. Jeff dropped his fork in his syrup and stared at me. Trish, Amy, and Matt looked right at him. He took my hand and tried waking me. He put his other hand on my cheek and put his face close to mine.
"Casey, please, wake up! I'm sorry. I know I don't have anything deadly! Gees, maybe she's allergic to my spit or something!" Jeff started to spaz out. I knew I couldn't make him go through it much longer, although it was very funny.
I popped my eyes open and he stopped yelling. "Jeff, GOT YA!!!" He let go of my hand and face and looked at me. His mouth dropped open as the others laughed.
"You were joking?" I nodded. "I hate you all. I really thought you got sick."
"I know cause I'm THAT damn good!" I smiled, but he didn't smile back. My smile faded as I looked into his caring green eyes. 'Wow, I really hurt him' I thought. His smile soon returned to his face. I raised my eyebrows at him. I knew he had a plan in his head. I just didn't know what.
"You know, you're a really good actress. But, I'm, I'm gonna get you back. Soon!" He went back to eat snickering a little bit. My face grew into a worried expression. 'Oh no. What have I done' I thought as I ate an onion ring.
"So Casey, tell us about yourself," Trish said putting salt on her French fries.
"Like what? I don't have much to tell."
"Tell us anything and everything," Amy said.
"Alright. First off, please call me Case. That's my nickname. I have two older sisters that I'm very close to. Or were close to. I'm 18, from Maine, born in New York. What else do you wanna know?"
"What's your fave band, color, clothing brand, things like that?" Trish asked getting more specific.
"What do you wanna do with your life? What are your dreams?" Amy asked.
"I love Old Navy. I like the colors blue and black. I like a lot of bands. I'm a fan of Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Aerosmith. I'm big fan of Janet Jackson, Ashanti, Ja Rule. And as for my dreams, hmmm..I wanna be in the music business. I wanna sing, dance, produce, write, and manage. I hopefully someday want to run my own music company. I want to give all those people with good voices a chance. There are so many out there that'll never amount to anything because of where they live. I want to find those people and help them get the push they need. That's what I want to do. I've also thought about trying wrestling. I just started getting into that. I use to wrestle my guy friends all the time. They would always tell me to stay back and ref. Yeah like I'd do that! I would always ambush one of them. I kicked their ass too."
"I have no doubt in that. Especially how you kicked mine so well earlier," Jeff said.
"You have so many goals. You really want to accomplish a lot. Definitely work for em. We'll help you in any way we can. We can especially help you in the wrestling department," Trish said smiling.
"Thanks. At least I know some people care!" I said looking towards Jeff remembering how he had freaked out earlier. I smiled at the thought. 'Maybe running away was a good idea' I thought.
We continued to eat and talked about random things. Some of it was about wrestling and some about me. When we finished the hot waiter came back and took some of our plates.
"Here's your check. You can pay me up at the counter." He walked away smiling and I looked over Jeff's shoulder to read the check. Everything, but my food seemed to be on there.
"There's something wrong with the check. My food isn't on there."
"Well I guess someone has a crush on you," Matt said snickering.
"It wouldn't matter if it was on there or not. You wouldn't be paying anyways. We'd be paying for you," Jeff said.
"Well, than it's good thing it's not on there cause I wouldn't be letting you pay for me. Or at least I'd be pitching in for it." We stood up from the booth as Trish left a 7-dollar tip. Jeff and I walked up to the counter where the waiter was standing, waiting for us. The others walked out as Jeff paid for the meal. "I think you made a mistake. My food wasn't on there."
"I know. It wasn't a mistake. It's on me." He smiled that wining smile and I returned it with one of my own.
"Thanks. I really appreciate it." I walked out the door and left Jeff standing there.
"Man, you really did a good job on her. She thinks you're hot man," Jeff said getting change.
"Really? She does? She's pretty cute herself."
"Dude, if I was you, I'd let her know that!" Jeff leaned against the counter as the waiter walked out the door. He soon followed, wanting a closer look of his handy work. He stood in the doorway as the guy caught up to me and grabbed my arm. I looked at him as he smiled. He took out a piece of paper and placed it in my hand. He put his face next to mine.
"I think you're really cute. Give me a call. My name is Seth." He kissed my cheek and walked back towards Jeff. Trish, Matt, and Amy stared at me as I looked at the phone number in my hand. I looked at Jeff as he gave Seth a high five. Jeff sauntered passed me as I glared at him.
"You told him something, didn't you?!"
"Maybe, maybe not. You should really call him sometime..who knows, maybe we can all get a free dinner sometime." Jeff grinned. I ran after him and jumped on his back. He wrapped his arms around my legs as I pounded playfully on his head. I took his hat off and placed it on my head. I then wrapped my arms around his neck and let him carry me to the car. Amy and Matt shook their heads at us and Trish stood there laughing. He put me down and we got into the cars.
"So, are ya'll gonna take me back to that hellhole of a hotel?" I questioned.
"No way! That place doesn't even belong to be opened," Trish said. "You can stay with me in my hotel room."
"You didn't even see the bathroom or get to hear the people in the next room having fun." I looked back at Trish. "Are you sure you won't mind me in your room?"
"I'm positive. It's either that or stay with disease boy over there." Trish smiled as I made a face.
"Hey! I saw that!" Jeff said.
"Good! I'm glad ya saw that!" I stuck my tongue out at him as he looked over at me. I quickly pulled my tongue back in my mouth and smiled innocently.
"I hate to ask, but what was wrong with the bathroom?" Trish asked curiously.
"Well, the shower was really clean, but there was no water. The sink looked like it hadn't been cleaned in God only knows how long. I swear things were growing in it. And I can't even bare to talk about the toilet." Trish made a disgusted look, as did Jeff. "You guys really did save me. I just want to thank you. And I figured it wouldn't be a bad room. The number 2 is my favorite number and it was room 22. I figured any room with two twos has to be okay. I guess I was wrong."
We arrived at the Holiday Inn they were staying at Jeff carried my bags for me. We got in an elevator and rode it to the second floor. We all walked into Trish's room and relaxed on the floor and beds.
"Do ya'll mind if I go take a shower? I haven't had one since last night and feel all icky." I took out my shampoo and conditioner.
"I knew I smelled something gross in here! I just figured it was Matt," Jeff commented.
"You know, Amy was right about you."
"Oh no. What was she right about?" Jeff looked up at me with worry in his eyes. Amy obviously had a lot of dirt on him and he must have thought I knew something bad.
"Just that you're quiet when you first meet someone, but have trouble shutting up when you get to know them," I answered.
"Well, I see she was right about you as well. You see, she told me the same thing about you." Jeff smiled devilishly at me and I walked into the bathroom.
I stepped into the shower and let the warm water wash over me. It seemed to be washing away all my worries. When I had gotten out I felt like a new person. I was ready to face the world once again. But this time I wasn't alone. I had a few people out in the room that would face it with me and help me anytime I needed it. I was great full for all they had done for me. It was more than I could ever ask for, especially from strangers. I walked back into the room wearing the same thing I had been wearing all nite. Jeff was on my bed talking to Matt and Amy who were seated on the floor in each other's arms. Trish had fallen asleep on her bed.
"Feel better?" Amy asked as I sat next to Jeff on the bed. I began to comb out my wet hair. I looked up at her and nodded.
"Yeah, I really do. It was like all my worries were being washed away." I looked at Jeff and noticed he was shielding his face from something. "Do you have problem?"
"Yeah, you keep getting me wet with your hair," he answered. I kneeled on the bed and over his head and rung out the water in my hair onto him. He quickly stood up off the bed. I sat down and smiled at him. "You're such a brat. Ya know that?"
"Actually, yeah, I did. But thanks for informing me anyways," I said in a sarcastic tone. Jeff smirked at me and sat on the floor next to Amy and Matt.
"Are you two done yet?" Matt asked. We nodded. "Good, cause we have some news for you. We were discussing what you would be doing tomorrow when we left. Well, before Trish fell asleep anyways. We all decided that you would come and travel with us. We just don't feel safe leaving you here all by yourself."
"That's real nice of you guys, but I can't do that. How am I going to afford all that transportation?" I asked as Trish began to stir. She sat up and looked at me.
"We'll help you pay for it all. And you can pay us back when you can get enough money," Trish said. She yawned and smiled.
"I don't know. What if I can't ever pay ya'll back?"
"Then don't worry about it. We're gonna try to see if we can get you some kind of job with the WWE anyways. Is there anything you can do and prove to Vince you can do it well?" Amy asked.
"Ummm..not really. I can't think of anything. Is there anything in particular that's open?"
"I think he's looking for some photographers. Can you take good pictures?" Matt asked.
"Yeah, I can. I'm always the one that takes the pictures in my group. I have brought pictures of the house show that was in Maine in November. Didn't you see them in there?" I asked as Jeff handed me my messenger bag. "No. They weren't wrapped in bags like the others were. I hope they didn't get ruined. That would be a good job for you. I mean, it would allow you to let out your creative juices and you could travel with us," Matt said as I searched through my bag. I pulled out a stack of pictures and handed them to Amy. Matt and Jeff looked over her shoulder as they looked through them. It wasn't long before Trish joined them. "Wow, they're really not bad. What kind of camera were you using?"
"Some 10-dollar one. It was really bad. It was auto focus. So I got whatever was closest to me."
"I love the RVD one. The one where he's up for the frog splash. How did you manage to get it at that moment?" Trish asked. I shrugged my shoulders as they continued to look.
"I think Vince would be very impressed. We'll have to get you to meet him. When are we going to see him again?" Amy asked.
"He's revealing the new RAW GM in two weeks. That would probably be the best time," Jeff answered. I yawned and fought to keep my eyes open. Matt seemed to notice this and handed the pictures back to me.
"We should all get to sleep. Our flight leaves at noon and we have to get there early if we're gonna get a ticket for Case. Plus I'm sure you wanna get some sleep. You've had a long and hard day. We'll see you in the morning," Matt said. He gave me a hug, as did Amy and Jeff. They left and I laid back on the bed. Trish did the same on the other bad.
"I'll see you in the morning. Sweet dreams." She rolled over and shortly fell asleep.
"I'm sure I will," I yawned. I quickly fell into a deep sleep.
