"Wow, it feels so weird to be here," I said as we walked into the back entrance of the arena. Jeff walked up beside me and rested his arm on my shoulder.
"Lots of memories here, huh?" Jeff said with a smile. I chuckled and looked around the back area. All the memories came back to me from Jim, to Matt, to Jeff, to Amy, to Denny's, even Seth.
"Yeah there are!" I said.
"We'll have to make a trip to Denny's tonite," Jeff smiled devilishly.
"OH NO!!! Not a good idea!" I exclaimed.
"Why?" Shane asked walking up behind us. He pushed lightly on my back to move me, but I didn't budge.
"It was just some fun that Jeff had with Case and a waiter," Amy laughed.
"What?" Shane asked curiously.
"Nothing. Jeff was just being an ass that nite," I said.
"What nite?" Shane asked a bit frustrated.
"I'm never an ass!" Jeff said pretending to be hurt.
"The nite my life began. The best nite of my life! The only downside to it was that I met him!" I exclaimed with a laugh. Jeff's jaw dropped as he grabbed his chest. He fell to the ground and I stood over him laughing. "Get up. You know, you suck as an actor!"
"Yeah, yeah," he said as I pulled him to his feet.
"I really missed out on a lot cause I haven't a clue what the hell you are talking about!" Shane said.
"Oh, it's just about Casey's first nite here. This is where her life seriously began!" Trish said with a smile as we walked to our locker rooms. I threw my stuff in the Diva's locker room and walked across the hall to the guys' room. I sat on a bench and sighed as Jeff turned to look at me.
"Lots of memories here, huh?" Jeff said. I looked at him and smiled.
"Yeah. The only thing missing is the rain!" I laughed. Jeff reached behind his back and smiled that sadistic smile of his.
"I thought you might say that, so I got this," Jeff said as he whipped out a supper soaker and sprayed me with it. I tried to shield myself from the water, but failed. I stood up as he began to laugh hysterically. I was dripping with water and he was having a good time.
"Just wait Mr. Hardy. You'll get yours!" I said as I walked out of the locker room.
"Case, what the hell happened to you? Did a rain storm come without the rest of us knowing?" Amy laughed as she passed me in the hall.
"Jeff was being his normal ass self! He pulled out a super soaker on me!" I said as I walked into the empty Diva's locker room. "I can't believe he did that!"
I laughed as I pulled out a towel. I dried myself off a bit and put a cd I burned into my cd player. I turned the speakers up as loud as possible and rocked out to Nickleback, Tool, Marilyn Manson, Slipknot, and many others. I jumped off the bench and began playing my own air guitar as Trish walked in the room. She walked over to the cd player laughing and turned it down. I stopped and turned to face her as she clapped.
"Where's a camera when ya need one!?" she exclaimed.
"Yeah, uh-huh. Whatever," I laughed as I dug through my bag for my wrestling clothes.
I was going for a whole new look. Something that really showed off my extreme style. I wore a pair of cut up baggy black jeans, white boy shorts, and a dark blue thong. I had on a cut up tight short green t-shirt with a tighter bright pink tank top under it. I put on my blue, green, purple, and black armbands. I smiled as I began to work on my hair, make- up, and paint. I pulled my blue and purple streaked hair into pigtail buns and pulled on a white bandana that I had written Angel on in black, green, blue, purple, and pink paint.
"Wow, you are turning into Jeff more and more each time you go out there!" Trish laughed.
"Well, everyone seems to want me to be like Jeff, so I'm going to be. Plus, I like all this!"
"Ya know, Vince doesn't like all these changes," Trish said.
"Why? It's not affecting my character any."
"It does in a way. I mean, when you first came out, you wore all black and long sleeved shirts with your hair down. Now you wear colors, tank tops, t-shirts, and everything else. You're becoming less mysterious, MYSTIC ANGEL."
"I guess you're right, but this is showing everyone who I am."
"I know and we all love who you are. Just don't change your style too much."
I smiled and walked towards the curtain. I waited for my cue on the monitor before I ran out there. Spike was out there and getting his ass kicked. I ran out and tried to save him, but Rico gave me one of his super kicks and I landed with a thud. When I "came to", 3 minute warning was walking back up the ramp and Jeff was lying in the middle of the ring in pain. Bubba was at his side yelling at Jamal and Rosey. I slid into the ring and helped Jeff up. The four of us walked up the ramp and backstage.
"God, those things hurt!" I exclaimed rubbing my jaw.
"Uh yes, the Rico super kick. Hurts like hell," Matt said with a smile.
"Angel, why'd you go out there tonite?" Jeff asked as I leaned against a wall. I smiled as he stood in front of me with paint and sweat dripping down his face.
"I don't know. You three are friends and you needed help. And I help out my friends," I said as I started to walk away. He grabbed my arm and looked back at him. He smiled and let me go.
"Thanks. And you uh, you look great," he said. I nodded and walked away. I stood by the curtain and watched Trish and Ivory's match. After the match, Trish and Victoria began to argue. Then Victoria attacked Trish and I ran out. I grabbed the back of Trish's head and slammed her onto the steel stage. I looked at Victoria and smiled at her. She glared at me and scoop slammed me. I grabbed at my back and Trish slammed my head into the stage. She then went after Victoria and officials were being brought out to stop the three of us from brawling. The three of us went backstage grabbing different body parts. I walked to the guy's locker room to watch Eric Bichoff's announcement for the women's title belt.
"Asshole! Asshole!" everyone chanted.
"Don't start with me!" Eric exclaimed. "I'm changing the woman's title match for Survivor Series. It's not going to be a singles match between Mystic Angel and Trish Stratus. Now it's a three way hardcore match! It will be Trish, Mystic Angel, and Victoria!"
The crowd erupted into cheers and I smiled. 'Fun' I thought. Shane grabbed my hand and we walked to the curtain. We stood waiting for the music to hit.
"Why do you have on two masks?" I asked Shane. He smiled as we heard the beginning of his music.
"JR, have you seen Mystic Angel's new outfit?!" King exclaimed joyfully.
"Yeah, she's really turning into a member of team extreme!" JR replied.
"All I can say is, THONG, THTHONG, THONG, THONG!" King exclaimed.
"Oh good Lord King! She's young enough to be your daughter!" JR said.
"I wouldn't be able to control myself if she was my daughter! WOO!"
"Oh please!"
Shane did his Hurricane pose and held my hand as we walked to the ring. We got in the ring and Shane immediately took off the top mask. I crossed my arms and watched him curiously as he climbed out to the ring. He walked to the barricades and placed the mask on a boy about 8 years old. I smiled and nodded in approval. He climbed back into the ring as Stacy and Test came out. I kissed Shane's cheek lightly and cheered him on as the match started. In the end Test got the win and Stacy made him do his "testicale" speech. I helped Shane up the ramp and backstage. I walked to the Diva's locker room to shower and change before going to Denny's with Trish, Shane, Jeff, and Amy. I was gathering my gear as Trish and Stacy walked out of the showers.
"I hate you," I said to Stacy as she put lotion on her legs.
"Excuse me?!" she said.
"I wish I was as tall as you," I said with a smile.
"At least you're not as short as Trish," she replied.
"I'm not that short, LEGS!" Trish exclaimed with a laugh.
"I hate to tell you, but I'm not that much taller than Trish," I said.
"Oh, really? I thought you were," Stacy said.
"I'm not that short. I'm average height!" Trish argued.
"Trish, we're average height," I said.
"Right, Stace, you are the one that's not!" Trish exclaimed. Stacy laughed as I threw my bag over my shoulder. I walked out the door and stood with the others as we waited for Trish.
"Let the fun begin!" Jeff smiled. I glared at him as Shane put his arm around me.
"Jeff, I swear, if you do anything tonite, I will kill you!" I exclaimed.
"I don't get it. I don't understand what's goin on!" Shane exclaimed.
"You'll see if that waiter is there," Amy smiled.
"Ames, you're not helping here!" I said.
"Ready!" Trish announced walking out of the locker room. We walked out of the arena and towards the car.
"I hope SETH is there," Jeff smiled.
"Don't you even, Jeffrey!" I said pushing him slightly.
"I'll TRY to behave myself," he said pushing me back. I fell off the sidewalk and twisted my ankle. I reached down immediately and grabbed at it.
"OWE! DUMBASS!!!!" I yelled. Jeff rushed to my side and helped me up.
"I'm so sorry. Are you okay?" he asked seriously putting his arm around my waist.
"That was my fuckin ankle!"
"Jeff what did you do to my girlfriend?" Shane asked jokingly.
"Shane, she's really hurt."
"I'll be okay. I just need to wrap it again," I said with a sigh as Jeff helped me into the car.
"I'm so sorry. I really didn't mean to hurt you," Jeff said wrapping my ankle. I smiled at him and nodded.
"I know. I'm fine. Don't worry about it."
We got to Denny's and were escorted to a booth. OUR booth. I sat between Shane and Jeff studying the menu.
"I don't know why you are bothering to read that," Jeff said.
"What do you mean?"
"We all know what you want," Jeff smiled.
"Oh? And what's that?!" I asked looking at him.
"Can I get a chocolate shake? I'll have the sampler," Jeff said imitating my voice and actions like that nite. I hit him over the head with my menu and laughed.
"Are you ready to order?" our waiter asked. I looked up at him and smiled. I immediately hid my face with the menu.
"Holy shit. It's him," I whispered to Jeff.
"What's wrong? Don't wanna see him?" Jeff whispered back. I glared at him as the he came to Jeff. "I'll order for you."
"What can I get for you?"
"I'll have a chocolate shake, a coke, the grilled chicken, and sampler with honey mustard," Jeff said. He grabbed the menu away from me and handed it to Seth as I buried my head into his shoulder.
"What was that all about?" Shane asked as Seth walked away. I picked up my head and looked at him.
"That would be Seth. The guy Jeff had a little fun with that nite," Amy said as he walked back to the table.
I tried to hide my face as he placed the drinks down. "You guys are wrestlers, right?" he asked looking at me.
"That's right," Trish said.
"Casey?! It's me, Seth!" he exclaimed. I looked up at him and smiled.
"Yeah, that would be me," I said.
"Wow, you've changed. A LOT!" he said with a laugh.
"Yeah, I know. This is who I am though," I said.
"So, you're a wrestler now?" he asked intrigued.
"Yep. That's my job," I replied. He smiled and began to sit down with us. Jeff began to laugh as Shane looked at Seth curiously.
"So, why didn't you ever call me?" he asked with a bit of hurt in his voice.
"Well, I knew I wouldn't be here for a long time, so I didn't see the point," I said.
"Plus she has a boyfriend," Amy piped in.
"Oh, you do?" he asked.
"Yes, she does," Shane said.
"Dude, I didn't know you were interested in her. I thought she was completely single. If I knew you were gonna go for her, Jeff, man, I wouldn't have told you I was into her," Seth said standing. He put the try under his arm and stood there staring at us.
"It's not me," Jeff said shyly.
"No, I am," Shane said protectively.
"Oh, sorry man. I'm sure your food is almost ready," Seth said walking away.
"Get a little jealous?" Trish asked sipping her diet coke.
"No, I don't know what you're talking about," Shane said putting his hand on mine.
"Shane, you were a little over the top," I said.
"Sorry that I don't like having my girlfriend fawned over like that!" Shane said.
"It's okay. I thought it was sexy! Very hot," I whispered in his ear. A smile grew on his face as Seth came back with our food.
After we ate, we went back to the hotel and to bed. Once I woke up in the morning I called Jessy and made arrangements to meet up with her and spend the day with her. Shane, Jeff, Trish, Amy, and I drove the three hours from Boston to the University of Southern Maine in Gorham. I took a deep breath as I got out of the car and a van pulled up next to us. Four muscular men got out and I smiled as the bigger of the four lifted me in the air.
"How did ya'll know we'd be here?" I asked as he set me down.
"Jeff called me," Matt said as he brought a very pleased, Amy, into his arms.
"So, we wanted to surprise you," John said.
"Yeah, the others are on their way to New Hampshire. Vince said that it would be okay as long as we were at the arena by 5:00," Rey said as Adam kissed my cheek.
"Let me call my friend so we can get out of the cold," I said pulling out my cell.
"How's she dealing with being here?" Adam asked Shane in a whisper.
"She's been very quiet, but she wants to see Jessy," Shane replied.
"Are we ready?" I asked pocketing my phone. They nodded and followed me to Jessy's hall. She stood there waiting as I walked up to her with my gang. She opened the door for us and led us up to her room.
"I'm glad you came," Jessy said hugging me.
"Me too," I said as the others stood in the doorway. "You know the guys."
"Ummm.....yeah," she said with an unsure smile. I chuckled and pulled them in.
"Well, this is Rey, John, Matt, his girlfriend Amy, Trish, Jeff, and of course you recognize Adam," I said.
"You bet I do," she said under her breath.
"And this is the love of my life, Shane," I said kissing his cheek.
"Nice to meet you," they chorused.
"So, what do you do at this place?!" I asked.
"This," she said casually.
"What?" I asked.
"This. We sit here, watch tv, and watch my roommate play X-Box."
"No parties?" John asked.
"Nope, none that I'm aware of," she said as someone knocked on the door. "Yeah!"
The door opened to reveal a dark haired, hat wearing, big brown eyed guy. I instantly remembered him. Ben, Jesse's best friend, number one state high school wrestler in his weight class, and uniform number 2 on his high school football team. He stood about 5'7" and weighed about 175 lbs. And you guessed it, I had a crush on him.
"Oh, party?" he asked stepping in the room.
"No, just Casey and her family," Jessy said sitting on her bed.
"Casey? Your best friend Casey? The one I met at my wrestling match?" he asked looking at each of us and stopping to stare at Trish.
"Yeah, that would be me," I said shyly with a small smile.
"Wow, you didn't look like this before!" he said.
"I know. My job kinda changed me," I said.
"That's right. You're a wrestler. We'll have to wrestle later. To see who's better," he said with a smile as he sat on Jessy's roommate's bed.
"You gonna introduce us?" Adam asked.
"OH! Yeah, sorry. Ben, this is my family. I'd like you to meet Rey, John, Adam, Trish, and Amy. The freak and egotistical ones are my bothers. Jeff, the freak and Matt, Version One. And Mr. Green Lantern is my boyfriend, Shane. Everyone, this is Ben," I said.
"Okay....Anyways, Jess, where's Amy? I have a math question," he said.
"At class. She should be back around 1:45," she said as he stood.
"Okay thanks. Casey, come see me before you leave and we'll wrestle," he said standing close to me. He smiled and I nodded.
"Wait. Why not now?" I asked. He nodded and we all followed him to his half empty room.
"Case, I want pictures before you leave," Jessy said. I took off my coat and handed her my camera.
"Right there. Knock yourself silly!" I laughed as Ben and I locked up.
"Casey, go easy on him. Do technical moves!" Matt exclaimed.
"Please, give me all you've got!" Ben said. I pushed him away and shook my head.
"I can't. I could kill you with most of my moves."
"Yeah, right. Wrestling is fake!" he laughed.
"WHAT?!" the guys exclaimed.
"Oh no. That's not good," I said as they closed in on Ben. "Guys, chill. He's not a fan. Non fans don't understand the pain we go through."
"Have you ever been to a live event?" Jeff asked.
"Nope. Don't care to either," Ben said.
"Then shut your mouth. You have no right to judge whether it's real or not!" Matt argued.
"Ben, I've seen them in action. They're brutal! Seriously, they go through a lot of crap," Jessy said defending us.
"Oh come on! You just need to be a good actor!" Ben laughed.
"Let's prove to him that it's not all fake," I said pulling Trish into the middle of the room. "This is gonna hurt like hell!"
"Casey, this isn't a good idea. The floor is HARD! It doesn't give like the ring will," Trish said.
"Alright, does one of you guys wanna show him what we do and love?!" I questioned putting my hands on my hips.
"I'll do it!!" Adam said grinning that grin of his.
Adam and I locked up as best as possible since he has that one foot of tallness over me! We went through chops, kicks, spears, suplexs, and body slams. It went pretty well, even though I did run into the desk. I even did the whisper in the wind off the spare bed. We were finally finished, I was dead, he was dead, and everyone was cheering. Even people that just wanted to see what all the commotion was about. Ben sat on his bed with a look of amazement on his face. I got to my feet through all the pain and walked towards him.
"Still fake?" I asked sitting next to him. His big dark brown eyes looked right into mine.
"No way. You guys really do put yourselves through a lot of pain," he said softly.
"Yeah and that wasn't even half of what we do," Matt said.
"Yeah, normally I would be flying through the air in a flip, or bouncing off the ropes to do a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, or something like that. We go to bed exhausted with bruises, cuts, and anything else. Some even have to be rushed to the hospital for a concussion or broken bones or even worse. We kill ourselves out there because we want to make the fans happy and we love our job. I don't regret anything about this!" I said. The guys shook their heads in agreement.
"I'm sorry that I judged you guys like that. I didn't mean to offend you," Ben apologized.
"Why do we go explore Portland?! Jessy, Shane and I will go with you?" I said.
"Can't. My piece of crap car doesn't work," she said.
"Oh. Great. Well, ummmm..," I said thinking of our options.
"Why don't you and Jessy come with me?" Ben asked.
"Okay and the others can go how they got here," I said.
"Case, I'd rather us go together," Shane whispered to me.
"Shane, please. I don't get to spend anytime with Jessy," I pleaded.
"Alright. I just don't trust him," Shane said.
"Shane, he's got a girlfriend," I laughed.
"OH! Wow, I feel stupid now. That's been happening a lot lately hasn't it?" Shane said.
"Its okay, Sugar. I still love you," I smiled before kissing his lips softly.
"Let's go get our shop on!" Trish laughed. Amy rolled her eyes and we all headed out the door.

"Can I get a chocolate shake? I'll have the sampler," Jeff said imitating my voice and actions like that nite. I hit him over the head with my menu and laughed.
"Are you ready to order?" our waiter asked. I looked up at him and smiled. I immediately hid my face with the menu.
"Holy shit. It's him," I whispered to Jeff.
"What's wrong? Don't wanna see him?" Jeff whispered back. I glared at him as the he came to Jeff. "I'll order for you."
"What can I get for you?"
"I'll have a chocolate shake, a coke, the grilled chicken, and sampler with honey mustard," Jeff said. He grabbed the menu away from me and handed it to Seth as I buried my head into his shoulder.
"What was that all about?" Shane asked as Seth walked away. I picked up my head and looked at him.
"That would be Seth. The guy Jeff had a little fun with that nite," Amy said as he walked back to the table.
I tried to hide my face as he placed the drinks down. "You guys are wrestlers, right?" he asked looking at me.
"That's right," Trish said.
"Casey?! It's me, Seth!" he exclaimed. I looked up at him and smiled.
"Yeah, that would be me," I said.
"Wow, you've changed. A LOT!" he said with a laugh.
"Yeah, I know. This is who I am though," I said.
"So, you're a wrestler now?" he asked intrigued.
"Yep. That's my job," I replied. He smiled and began to sit down with us. Jeff began to laugh as Shane looked at Seth curiously.
"So, why didn't you ever call me?" he asked with a bit of hurt in his voice.
"Well, I knew I wouldn't be here for a long time, so I didn't see the point," I said.
"Plus she has a boyfriend," Amy piped in.
"Oh, you do?" he asked.
"Yes, she does," Shane said.
"Dude, I didn't know you were interested in her. I thought she was completely single. If I knew you were gonna go for her, Jeff, man, I wouldn't have told you I was into her," Seth said standing. He put the try under his arm and stood there staring at us.
"It's not me," Jeff said shyly.
"No, I am," Shane said protectively.
"Oh, sorry man. I'm sure your food is almost ready," Seth said walking away.
"Get a little jealous?" Trish asked sipping her diet coke.
"No, I don't know what you're talking about," Shane said putting his hand on mine.
"Shane, you were a little over the top," I said.
"Sorry that I don't like having my girlfriend fawned over like that!" Shane said.
"It's okay. I thought it was sexy! Very hot," I whispered in his ear. A smile grew on his face as Seth came back with our food.
After we ate, we went back to the hotel and to bed. Once I woke up in the morning I called Jessy and made arrangements to meet up with her and spend the day with her. Shane, Jeff, Trish, Amy, and I drove the three hours from Boston to the University of Southern Maine in Gorham. I took a deep breath as I got out of the car and a van pulled up next to us. Four muscular men got out and I smiled as the bigger of the four lifted me in the air.
"How did ya'll know we'd be here?" I asked as he set me down.
"Jeff called me," Matt said as he brought a very pleased, Amy, into his arms.
"So, we wanted to surprise you," John said.
"Yeah, the others are on their way to New Hampshire. Vince said that it would be okay as long as we were at the arena by 5:00," Rey said as Adam kissed my cheek.
"Let me call my friend so we can get out of the cold," I said pulling out my cell.
"How's she dealing with being here?" Adam asked Shane in a whisper.
"She's been very quiet, but she wants to see Jessy," Shane replied.
"Are we ready?" I asked pocketing my phone. They nodded and followed me to Jessy's hall. She stood there waiting as I walked up to her with my gang. She opened the door for us and led us up to her room.
"I'm glad you came," Jessy said hugging me.
"Me too," I said as the others stood in the doorway. "You know the guys."
"Ummm.....yeah," she said with an unsure smile. I chuckled and pulled them in.
"Well, this is Rey, John, Matt, his girlfriend Amy, Trish, Jeff, and of course you recognize Adam," I said.
"You bet I do," she said under her breath.
"And this is the love of my life, Shane," I said kissing his cheek.
"Nice to meet you," they chorused.
"So, what do you do at this place?!" I asked.
"This," she said casually.
"What?" I asked.
"This. We sit here, watch tv, and watch my roommate play X-Box."
"No parties?" John asked.
"Nope, none that I'm aware of," she said as someone knocked on the door. "Yeah!"
The door opened to reveal a dark haired, hat wearing, big brown eyed guy. I instantly remembered him. Ben, Jesse's best friend, number one state high school wrestler in his weight class, and uniform number 2 on his high school football team. He stood about 5'7" and weighed about 175 lbs. And you guessed it, I had a crush on him.
"Oh, party?" he asked stepping in the room.
"No, just Casey and her family," Jessy said sitting on her bed.
"Casey? Your best friend Casey? The one I met at my wrestling match?" he asked looking at each of us and stopping to stare at Trish.
"Yeah, that would be me," I said shyly with a small smile.
"Wow, you didn't look like this before!" he said.
"I know. My job kinda changed me," I said.
"That's right. You're a wrestler. We'll have to wrestle later. To see who's better," he said with a smile as he sat on Jessy's roommate's bed.
"You gonna introduce us?" Adam asked.
"OH! Yeah, sorry. Ben, this is my family. I'd like you to meet Rey, John, Adam, Trish, and Amy. The freak and egotistical ones are my bothers. Jeff, the freak and Matt, Version One. And Mr. Green Lantern is my boyfriend, Shane. Everyone, this is Ben," I said.
"Okay....Anyways, Jess, where's Amy? I have a math question," he said.
"At class. She should be back around 1:45," she said as he stood.
"Okay thanks. Casey, come see me before you leave and we'll wrestle," he said standing close to me. He smiled and I nodded.
"Wait. Why not now?" I asked. He nodded and we all followed him to his half empty room.
"Case, I want pictures before you leave," Jessy said. I took off my coat and handed her my camera.
"Right there. Knock yourself silly!" I laughed as Ben and I locked up.
"Casey, go easy on him. Do technical moves!" Matt exclaimed.
"Please, give me all you've got!" Ben said. I pushed him away and shook my head.
"I can't. I could kill you with most of my moves."
"Yeah, right. Wrestling is fake!" he laughed.
"WHAT?!" the guys exclaimed.
"Oh no. That's not good," I said as they closed in on Ben. "Guys, chill. He's not a fan. Non fans don't understand the pain we go through."
"Have you ever been to a live event?" Jeff asked.
"Nope. Don't care to either," Ben said.
"Then shut your mouth. You have no right to judge whether it's real or not!" Matt argued.
"Ben, I've seen them in action. They're brutal! Seriously, they go through a lot of crap," Jessy said defending us.
"Oh come on! You just need to be a good actor!" Ben laughed.
"Let's prove to him that it's not all fake," I said pulling Trish into the middle of the room. "This is gonna hurt like hell!"
"Casey, this isn't a good idea. The floor is HARD! It doesn't give like the ring will," Trish said.
"Alright, does one of you guys wanna show him what we do and love?!" I questioned putting my hands on my hips.
"I'll do it!!" Adam said grinning that grin of his.
Adam and I locked up as best as possible since he has that one foot of tallness over me! We went through chops, kicks, spears, suplexs, and body slams. It went pretty well, even though I did run into the desk. I even did the whisper in the wind off the spare bed. We were finally finished, I was dead, he was dead, and everyone was cheering. Even people that just wanted to see what all the commotion was about. Ben sat on his bed with a look of amazement on his face. I got to my feet through all the pain and walked towards him.
"Still fake?" I asked sitting next to him. His big dark brown eyes looked right into mine.
"No way. You guys really do put yourselves through a lot of pain," he said softly.
"Yeah and that wasn't even half of what we do," Matt said.
"Yeah, normally I would be flying through the air in a flip, or bouncing off the ropes to do a tilt-a-whirl backbreaker, or something like that. We go to bed exhausted with bruises, cuts, and anything else. Some even have to be rushed to the hospital for a concussion or broken bones or even worse. We kill ourselves out there because we want to make the fans happy and we love our job. I don't regret anything about this!" I said. The guys shook their heads in agreement.
"I'm sorry that I judged you guys like that. I didn't mean to offend you," Ben apologized.
"Why do we go explore Portland?! Jessy, Shane and I will go with you?" I said.
"Can't. My piece of crap car doesn't work," she said.
"Oh. Great. Well, ummmm..," I said thinking of our options.
"Why don't you and Jessy come with me?" Ben asked.
"Okay and the others can go how they got here," I said.
"Case, I'd rather us go together," Shane whispered to me.
"Shane, please. I don't get to spend anytime with Jessy," I pleaded.
"Alright. I just don't trust him," Shane said.
"Shane, he's got a girlfriend," I laughed.
"OH! Wow, I feel stupid now. That's been happening a lot lately hasn't it?" Shane said.
"Its okay, Sugar. I still love you," I smiled before kissing his lips softly.
"Let's go get our shop on!" Trish laughed. Amy rolled her eyes and we all headed out the door.
