Chapter 7: Spring Break III
"Matt before I start, please be honest with me, ok?"
"Of course, I'll be honest with you. I always have been and always will be," he replied.
"Matt, I have to admit that I had the most biggest crush on both you and Jeff. Just lately, I have been starting to develop feelings for Jeff and I'm not sure what it is. When we were driving to the hotel, he held my hand until we got to the hotel. It felt so right when we held hands. And then when he came to my room with me, just to make sure that I arrived safely, he kissed me on my lips. I wanted to kiss him more, but I know I shouldn't. So I just decided to let him lead everything. Then he came back to my room after he had gotten his things and held me because I was still crying. Then right before he left, we kissed again. Matt, I don't know what to do. I know that I should tell him, but I'm afraid that he's not going to have the same feelings for me. I'm afraid to risk our friendship if I tell him," I said trying not to cry.
"Sam, that's. what can I say? But one thins is for sure is that you do need to tell him and let him know. He does deserve to know about how you feel about him. Let me tell you right now.. Jeff came to talk to me last week and he told me something that you need to know, but it's his place to tell you. Believe me, it's all good. You don't have to be scared to tell him. Just be honest about how you feel about him and I promise you that he will be honest with you. If he hurts you in any way, then let me know and I'll talk to him. It was a wise decision that you let him control the kiss. I'm sure that there was a reason as of why he kissed you. Just talk to him and let him know about that. As far as the crush goes. do you still have a crush on me?" Matt grinned.
"Just a little," I said shyly.
Matt just laughed, "Well, I'm flattered that you find me attractive."
"You're welcome. Matt, thank you so much. You know, just for listening and giving me advice. It means so much to me that you are just being here for me," I said as I went to give him a hug.
Then the door opened and Amy came in, disgusted. "Aaarrrgghhhh! Sam, stop choking Mattie!"
I broke off the hug, "For your information, I am not choking Matt. I was simply giving him a hug because he was helping me go through a problem that I have!"
"Yeah, right! Whatever! Anyways, Mattie, can you help me with something? There is a problem with my outfit for our match tomorrow," Amy said sweetly as I rolled my eyes.
"I can help you tomorrow, Amy. Can't you see that I'm busy helping Sam through an emotional problem? That's more important than clothes," Matt said.
"But I can't wait until tomorrow!" Amy whined.
"Well, that's just too bad, Amy because you know what?"
"What?"
Matt stood up from the couch and started to push Amy around, "I'm sick and tired of you trying to pick a fight with Sam. I know that we have been friends for a long time and you know what? Sam has been nothing but good, sweet, nice and caring since you have met. If you refuse to change, then I'm going to talk to Vince and have Jeff and I not work with you anymore!" Matt yelled as Jeff came in the locker room. I motioned to him to come over to where I was sitting. When he sat, I whispered in his ear what was going on and he agreed with what Matt had said.
"You can't do that Matt! You can't kick me off the team! Jeff, tell Matt that he can't kick me off the team!" Amy whined.
"Amy, sorry but I have to agree with Matt here. Since Sam just told me what had happened and from what I have seen and heard, I support Matt here 100%," replied Jeff.
"NO! I won't let you do that! I deserve this spot on this team. You can't kick me off because of her! What are you trying to do to me? You're a bitch!" Then she lunged at me. I couldn't move out of the way fast enough, but I was lucky enough to have Jeff stop her before she hurt me. "Jeff, let me go! She deserves to die! She is taking you away from me!" Amy yelled.
"She is not taking you away from us! You are taking us away from you because you were not willing to be friend with her in the first place!" Jeff shot back.
"I am not doing anything to make you guys leave me! She is making us break up! Can't you see it?"
"You cannot blame her! It's not her fault! All she is doing is being our friend!" Matt yelled at her.
Then Vince came into the room wondering what was going on. "What the hell is goin on here?" Vince yelled.
"Vince, Jeff and I need to talk to you about this situation," Matt responded with a calm voice.
"Of course."
"Vince, Jeff and I just discussed this and we want Amy off our team because she is trying to hurt us and she is betraying the values that this team upholds. Also, she is hurting Sam here by saying harmful things to her. Sam has been nothing but good and sweet to Amy. Amy has been nothing but hateful towards Sam. Right when I told her that we were going to talk to you about it, she lunged towards Sam, but Jeff got a hold of her. Vince, honestly, Jeff and I don't want to work with someone who does something like that," explained Matt.
"Well, that does cause problems. Now, Amy there is no excuse for your actions because you have tried to assault another co-worker, but in this case a minor and soon-to-be co-worker, I have no choice but to suspend you until further notice. However, I will make an exception to have you here tomorrow, so that you can wrestle and make it look like an injury leave. Matt, Jeff and Samantha, I would like to speak with all of you in my office right after I speak with Miss Dumas," replied Vince.
"Sure, no problem," said Jeff. Matt and I nodded our heads in agreement.
"Good. Now, Miss Dumas, please accompany me to my office," Vince said sternly. Amy had left with Vince, giving Matt, Jeff and I time to freshen up. It took us 15 minutes to get everything together.
"You guys have everything together?" I asked.
"Yeah, let's go and talk with Vince," replied Jeff.
Then we left the locker room and headed towards Vince's makeshift office. We got to his office 5 minutes later and saw two police officers escorting Amy out. We looked at each other puzzlingly and wanted to know what was going on. "Great, all of you are here now. Miss Dumas is being escorted to jail because she has assaulted me after I told her that she would not be working with you anymore. I had the other Superstars come in and hold her. I explained to her what would be happening with the storylines, in hopes that Samantha will agree to it," Vince explained.
"Of course. We should go into your office and discuss the storylines," Jeff replied as we went into Vince's office.
"Ok, Samantha I just wanted to ask you this: How would you feel about making your debut a little earlier than expected?" Vince asked me as we sat down at his desk. I was sitting across from Vince as Matt sat on my left and Jeff on my right.
"Yeah, that would be fine. I don't mind working earlier, but how much earlier?"
"How would you feel about working tomorrow night? I know that your birthday is on Thursday, but I still need to contact your parents tomorrow morning and have their permission to have you work here and get everything legally done over the phone," explained Vince.
"Of course. I would love to do that. Thank you so much, Vince."
"Ok, great. Then you should have a script in your hands tomorrow. I will explain what to do tomorrow. As far as with the situation with Miss Dumas, all I can say is that she is fired and tomorrow night on Raw, my wife and I will make an announcement about that, which I am in need of all of your help."
"Sure, we will do anything to help," said Matt. Then Vince explained to us what needed to be done. About an hour later, we left his office with a better understanding of what was going with Amy.
Chrissy was standing outside waiting for us with Adam and Jay. Once they saw us, Adam came running towards me. "Sam, are you ok? I found out what happened and I was worried about you," Adam said as he gave me a hug.
"Adam, I need air!" I squeaked.
"Oh, sorry, but are you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm good. A lot better than ok!" I said with a genuine smile on my face.
"I'm just concerned about you. That's all. So what's all this I hear that my baby sister is teaming up with the Hardyz?" Adam said, trying not to smile.
"Well, what's this I hear that my big brother wanting to quit his career?" I shot back.
"I have no idea what you're talking about!" Adam said, looking innocent.
"Then I have no idea what you're talking about! You will find out in time whether I am reaming up with the Hardyz or not!" I yelled trying to stand my ground and trying not to laugh. Everyone around us was laughing their heads off. All of the Superstars loved watching us argue over little things.
"What! That's totally unfair! You can't do that to me! I'm your big brother! I have every right to know if you're teaming up with the Hardyz!" Adam retorted back.
"Like I said before, you'll find out in due time! So why don't you start acting your age, instead of your shoe size! Because you know what! It's disgusting to see a grown man acting like a 6-year-old child!" I said snickering.
"Oh, for your information, I do not act like a 6-year-old child! Don't you worry about it! I have my ways! I'll find out before Raw tomorrow night! You think you're that smart! Just wait and see what I have in store for you, girl!" he said I ended up laughing. I couldn't think of anything else to throw back at him. He hugged me as he joined the laughter of all who was there watching us.
"Hey there, baby girl! How you doing?" I turned around to see who was talking to me.
"I'm doing good Paul! How are you? I missed you so much!" I said as I went to give him a hug. You see, Paul has become like a father to me whenever I traveled with them Adam knew that I missed our father at home and that I needed a surrogate father. So he asked Paul to watch over me and Paul agreed. I saw more of Paul because I worked closely with him than I did with Adam and the other guys.
"I'm doing good and I missed you, too," he said as I squealed when he twirled me around. "So when did you get here, baby girl?" he asked as he put me down. 'Baby Girl' is the nickname that he gave me. He is the only one that calls me baby girl. All of the Superstars have their own nickname for me. I didn't mind at all. I love the attention that I get from them and I noticed that they love giving it to me as well.
"I cam earlier this morning. Vince wanted me to get experience and stuff before I start working here after I graduate from high school," I replied with a grin on my face.
"That's good. So that means that we'll be working together more often, huh, baby girl?"
"Yeah, we will. And I look forward to it, Paul. I totally love working with you," I squealed as I hugged Paul again. I admit that I found Paul attractive at first, but it faded once I saw the fatherly figure in him. Paul took me under his wing and protected me when I was very close to getting raped. My family knew about it; even the Superstars knew what happened and protected me. Let's say because of what happened I had a very hard time trusting men, except for the Superstars.
Paul totally took care of me after the incident. I was so lost in my thoughts about the rape that I didn't even notice that I was clinging onto Paul and crying. "Hey, baby girl, what's the matter? Why are you crying? You have nothing to cry about."
"I was thinking about the rape incident. I still can't get it out of my mind," I whispered.
Only Paul heard it, and he knew what I was talking about. "Hey, there baby girl, you need to overcome that. It happened last year. You did all that you could do. It was not your fault, ok?" Paul said as he broke off the embrace.
"Yeah, I know that it's not my fault but it's still hard for me. I feel like no one wants me because I'm not pretty enough and I feel cheap," I said as I started crying again.
"Baby girl, you are gorgeous. I'm sure that there are guys our there who will love you for who you are. You are not cheap. He did not take away the gift you have inside. You can ask any guy here of what they think and I'm sure that they agree with me," Paul said as he hugged me once more. All of the Superstars that were there stood quiet. Adam, Matt and Jeff came to where we were standing. After 10 minutes, I had finally calmed down and I turned to Adam, Matt and Jeff.
"Sam, Paul is right. You are a beautiful person, both inside and out. That was something that I wanted to talk to you about tonight. Sam, I fell in love with you for quite some time and I was scared to tell you because honestly, I wasn't sure of how you would react and because of how Adam would react to hearing me say that I fell in love with his baby sister. I want us to move on pass the friendship level, but only if you're willing to try. I am not like the other guy that tried to rape you and I don't want to pressure you into doing anything that you don't want to do. So what do you say?"
"Jeff, all I can tell you is that I am in love with you too. I'm not sure when I realized that I was in love with you, but I am. I never said anything because I was afraid that you wouldn't want to be my friend anymore. All in all, I'm saying that I want us to become more than friends and I know that you're not that guy. I do want to take things slow," I said as I gave him a hug and a kiss. Everyone around us applauded and was thrilled for us.
"Matt before I start, please be honest with me, ok?"
"Of course, I'll be honest with you. I always have been and always will be," he replied.
"Matt, I have to admit that I had the most biggest crush on both you and Jeff. Just lately, I have been starting to develop feelings for Jeff and I'm not sure what it is.
