Linda McMahon still owns everything, 'cept for the song and that's owned by
the Monkees (I THINK!) Enjoy!
[I told myself that things would be okay
[You'd come around to my way any day
[As time went on, you just stayed the same
[No, you, you couldn't change or be rearranged
[I'm picking up the pieces of my life
Ian's smile widened. "It's so great to see you again."
"I know right." She responded. She picked up the ceramic mug and turned back to him. "How have you been? We haven't talked in like forever."
Ian paused. "Yeah, that's because we were kinda expecting never to see each other again. That's what you said at least." He noticed the upset expression that came on her face and rethought his topic choice. "So last time I saw you, you were teaming up with Matt and Jeff. Why are you here?"
Amy sighed and pushed a stray piece of hair behind her shoulder. "I quit wrestling a few weeks ago." His eyes widened. "And as for Matt and Jeff, well that's a long story."
"I have time." Ian said, resting his elbows on the counter as he stared intently at Amy. "You guys were inseparable. What happened?"
She shook her head. "Honestly, and I don't want to offend you, but I really don't want to talk about that right now."
Ian held up his hands in surrender and turned back to the soda that was waiting for him on the counter. He seemed to be studying the contents for a moment, when he turned back to her. "Where are you staying?"
Amy was about to retort with some smart-ass response, and instead let her shoulders fall. "I have no idea. I think I had this apartment but I have no idea where it is anymore-"
"You lost your apartment?" Ian cut in skeptically.
"And then I got robbed." She finished, giving him a warning look. "So this cop gave me a ride here so that I could use the phone."
"And you found me." Ian responded, opening his arms with a flourish. "Actually I have this place with three other people. We have a couch you could sleep on and I'm sure it'd be no problem."
Amy smiled. "Really?" He nodded. She threw her arms around him and gave him a hug. "I promise that it'll only be a couple of days until I get myself settled into my own place and everything."
Ian placed some money on the counter and got up, Amy following him. "Let me just call them to give them a heads up." He walked a couple of feet away, but Amy could still hear his side of the conversation.
"Riley? Yeah it's me.you're still there.listen, let me talk to Rowen.. he's what.no no, just get me Jet then." He tapped his foot on the ground as he waited for his roommate. "Hey.yeah she told me.God send her home already or something.yeah, or that.Remember that girl I was telling you about.no? Thanks. Well I ran into her and she's got nowhere to stay so she's gonna be staying with us for a while, alright? Later!" He flipped the phone shut and turned to Amy with a smile as they got into the car. "They can't wait to meet you."
Amy smiled back a bit uneasily. "Who is they exactly?"
Ian put his hand on her shoulder comfortingly. "The weirdest people you'll ever meet. No, I'm joking. Okay, first there's Jet, who I was talking to. More or less, she's an interesting individual. Rowen, who I originally wanted to talk to, is tolerant for the most part but when he gets pissed you're better off just locking yourself in the bathroom or something because stuff will be flying." He smiled when he saw the worried look on her face. "But don't worry about it."
The rest of the ride was in silence, broken only by Amy's heavy sighs every couple of minutes.
"Upset that you decided to come out here and leave everything behind?" Ian asked dryly, turning into an apartment complex parking lot.
Amy shook her head and got out of the car, grabbing her jacket. "No, it was imperative that I got off the east coast."
She followed him into the building, and then up the two flights of stairs. He pulled out a set of keys and before he could turn it the door flew open.
"Did you not get my page?" A dark haired girl demanded, putting her hands on her hips. She looked Amy over once and then shifted her gaze back to Ian.
Ian pulled his pager out of his pocket and grinned sheepishly upon seeing the flashing '1 New Message'. "Guess I should check it more often huh? What did you want though?"
"What did I need?" The girl responded, hands still on her hips. She broke out into a smile, which completely changed her appearance. "No biggie. I just wanted some coffee." She turned her attention back to Amy. "So who's this?"
"This is my friend Amy I was telling you about." Ian reminded her. "Jet this is Amy. Amy, this is my roommate Jet." He nodded and walked inside, his work was done.
They shook hands and the hard look returned to Jet's face. "I know who you are." She started evenly. "And if you think for one minute you're gonna get special treatment because you were in the WWF, you're in for a rude awakening."
"E." Amy replied abruptly.
"Excuse me?" Jet asked, eyes narrowing.
Amy forced a completely fake smile. "It's WWE. Not WWF." She walked straight by Jet and into the apartment.
Jet opened her mouth to say something but instead clenched her teeth and followed Amy in, slamming the door behind her.
Ian was just about to start introducing Amy to the people in the room when her cell phone started to ring. Jet rolled her eyes and went into the kitchen. Amy gave Ian an apologetic look and answered her phone, turning away from them. "Hello?"
"Amy?" The reply sounded static, like someone was trying to call from inside and a long way away.
"Who's this?" She asked, still keeping one eye on Jet, who was talking with a dark haired guy, gesturing over to her every couple of minutes.
"It's Shane." He managed out. "You never told me that you were going to leave."
"Did your mom tell you?"
There was a pause, and then "Yeah, but I wouldn't have known unless I asked her some questions about the company. I thought you told me you were going to try and stick it out. We agreed on that."
"You weren't supposed to call." Amy said, trying to sound chipper about her current situation.
"But it's a good thing I did." He countered. "Where are you? I'm coming to pick you up. You sound like you're ready to start crying at any second."
Amy squeezed her eyes shut and shook her head. I'm in California. You're not coming all the way out here to pick me up and I am not going to start crying."
"Do you at least have someplace to stay?" He asked, his voice softening.
"I'm staying with a friend of mine." She replied. "Listen, I'll call you sometime. But I gotta go." She hung up abruptly and slipped the phone back into her pocket as she turned back to Ian.
"Everything alright?" He asked.
Amy nodded enthusiastically. "Everything's perfect. I want to meet all your friends now."
First off I have to extend a major thank you to the people whose characters I used for this, and following chapters:
**aRiAnA for Riley
**Shadow for Jet
**Child of the Strata for Rowen
There's still going to be more characters and I need some guy characters; like desperately. Ian belongs to me, but there needs to be more then two. If you have any suggestions for '*guy*' characters, it would be so greatly appreciated. And Ally, I think I'm kinda using the idea that you wanted to desperately that you gave me so that's yours.
Please read & review, I love hearing what you guys think about this. If you want to be notified when this story is updated, just leave your name and e-mail address or e-mail me. Later!
