Title: It's My Time
Disclaimer: As much as I wish I did I do not own the WWE or it's Superstars.
Summary: Sunday finally rolls around.
" Yes Chris I'm fine. No really I'm fine. I will see you tomorrow. No I don't think its funny that you call it black Sunday. Stop laughing. OK I will see you tomorrow and yes I'm fine. Goodnight." I hang up the phone and try to get comfortable in my bed. Tomorrow is the big meeting with Vince. It's been a tough past few days. At the photo shoot once I remembered I had shared a kiss with Hunter I totally freaked out. Luckily for me Chris was done for the day so we went back to the hotel. I had a major headache that day so I took some aspirin and went to bed. The next day was my first day off. I had planned to spend it in bed feeling sorry for myself but Lita and Trish had other plans. They took me shopping. They told me shopping was therapeutic and lowers stress levels. I hate to even see how large my credit card bill will be next month. Then for the next two days I attended more signings with Chris so I tried to just focus on my job. And when things got too hard for me Mark or Glen would drag me to gym and made me work through some of the anger and helplessness I felt by using the punching bag. So here it is Saturday night. I don't know how I would of made it this far without all of the guys and the girls. I decide to just take some more aspirin for this never ending headache I've had over these past few days then go to sleep and wait to see what tomorrow brings.
I wake up to the phone ringing. I lean over and grab it. " Jess, Its Chris please don't tell me you are still in bed. You have like 10 minutes to get here. I tried calling before but there was no answer so I thought you were on your way. I had to come in early because I was told Vince wanted to speak with me. I have to go see him right now, hurry down here as fast as you can." Before I can even say anything he hangs up. I jump out of bed and run into the shower. I glance at the bottle of pills on the counter. The bottle says may cause drowsiness. Well that's just fucking great now isn't it? After getting ready I rush to the arena. With water still dripping down my back from my wet hair I pull into the parking lot. I glance at my watch and realize I'm 15 minutes late. I smack the steering wheel in anger. I grab my bag and run into the arena. Pat Patterson meets me in the backstage area.
" Hey Jess, don't worry Vince is running late so you're ok. I will take you to his office now." As I walk to the office I wait to hear someone say dead man walking because I feel like I am going to my execution. Pat knocks on Vince's door. Once Vince says to come in Pat tells me to go in and waves as he walks away. Ok I guess I'm facing this alone. I take a deep breath and go in. Vince tells me to take a seat.
" Jessica it's been brought to my attention that there are some rumors going around that you are involved with some of the Superstars. As I am sure you are finding out rumors get started very quickly around here. I would like you to know I spoke to Jeff, Chris and Hunter separately before. Let me tell you, they are all big supporters of you. Especially Hunter, he told me in no under certain terms that if you were fired he was quitting. I quickly assured him no one was getting fired or quitting. I personally have no problem with my employees dating each other as long as it never starts to affect business. Chris and Jeff each told me you were worried about your job over these past few days. I told them I would never think to fire someone I planned on having start training this coming week. You are still interested in becoming a Superstar right?" I am only to nod. All of this is too much for me too handle.
" Now Jessica I want you to understand I only spoke with the boys to get a grasp of what was going on. What you do is your business. I'm sorry that you had to suffer with worry these past few days so I hope you will accept my apology." I stand up and shake his hand. " There is no reason for you to apologize Mr. McMahon. I am just happy this was all cleared up and just so you know I am only just friends with the guys. I need to focus on my job plus training so there is no room for a relationship right now. I promise to give you a 110% when I am in that ring training. I plan on becoming a big name in this business. Thank you for the opportunity." There is a knock at the door. When it opens I see that its Miss Adams and Alexia. Vince tells him to come in.
" Well thank you for meeting me on such short notices ladies." As I go to leave Vince tells me to stay because this concerns me too. " Now I would like to discuss with both of you how things are run around here. The WWE is a family and we take care of our own. We don't go around stabbing people in the back. And Miss Adams I don't know where you ever came up with the notion that employees aren't allowed to date but you were obviously mistaken. I am disgusted by the actions of both of you. I am very seriously tempted to have both of you fired but I won't. Instead you are both put on probation for the next three months. Once those three months are up I will review your work ethics. You're both dismissed." As they both pass me on the way out they each give me a drop-dead look. Vince calls out to them. " Oh and ladies I think you owe Jessica here an apology." I smile my day has gone from bad to extremely great. They both stare at Vince and for a minute I think maybe they won't follow orders but sure enough I hear them each say they're sorry, even though it was through clenched teeth it was still worth it for me. I turn and shake Vince's hand one more time before I leave.
Once I am outside of the door I lean against the wall and let out the breath I was holding the whole time I was in there. I really thought I was on my way out. Before I go to tell everyone that everything is ok and that I'm staying, all of the things Vince said to me quickly replay themselves in my mind. One particular thing stands out. As I set off down the hallway I decide I should get to the bottom of it before I do anything else.
