Chapter 19: Caught In the Act
The storyline still had Jeff and my character, Angel sneaking around. Finally, the storyline exploded. Angel was supposed to be waiting for Rock in his locker room. Imagine his surprise when he went looking for his baby sister and found his locker room empty. Rock had had enough of the secrets. In a rage, he stormed through the hallways backstage. He stopped everyone he saw to ask if they had seen Angel.
When he came across the Team Xtreme locker room, Rock busted through the door. Lita was stretching and Matt was sitting on the couch watching the broadcast.
"Where is she?" Rock demanded.
Matt shrugged.
"Rock, we don't know." Lita answered.
Rock stepped closer to Lita, inches from her face. "Lita, you're Angel's best friend. You expect me to believe you have no idea where she could be?"
Lita turned away from him. "I'm sorry." It was obvious she was hiding something.
"You! Hardy!" Rock turned to Matt. "She's with that freak of a brother of yours, isn't she?" Rock questioned him.
"What if she is? Is it really that horrible?" He casually responded.
"You had better hope, for his sake and yours, that when I do find Angel, she isn't with him." At that, Rock stormed out of the room.
Meanwhile, Jeff and Angel were walking the hallways backstage, holding hands and talking. Out of nowhere, Rock's voice boomed, echoing against the concrete. "Angel Maritza Anna Miava!" His voice cut through the hustle and bustle of the crew going about their business.
Jeff and Angel released one another's hand and froze to the spot on which they stood. After a moment, they both pensively turned to see Rock coming towards them at a fast pace.
"What are you doing back here? And what are you doing with him?" Rock demanded.
"I- I was bored. We were just going for a walk. We didn't go far." Angel tried to explain.
"I told you to wait for me in the locker room. I've been searching all over for you!" Rock hadn't lowered his voice and everyone was staring at the scene.
"You can't keep her locked up in that room all the time." Jeff interrupted.
Rock shot Jeff a disturbing look. "You, keep your nose in your own business, boy. I thought I told you not to see him anymore Angel. Maybe you can explain why you're with him."
"Rocky, I've already told you. I love him and I don't care what you say. Jeff loves me too. I am going to keep see him!"
"You had better remember who are you talking to, little one." Rocky had steady control of his emotions now, but he still glared down at her.
"I'm sorry, Rocky." She whimpered, focusing on the concrete floor, fidgeting with nervousness.
Rock stared at Jeff for a moment before speaking. "So, is it true? Do you love her?"
"I think so, Rock." Jeff answered, staring back at him, refusing to give in to Rock's intensity.
"You think so?? That's not good enough, you're not good enough!" Rock yelled before delivering a forearm to Jeff's face.
Jeff stumbled back against the force of the blow. Angel started towards Jeff to make sure he wasn't hurt. Rock caught her arm, keeping her away from Jeff. Enraged, she fought to get away from his grip. Rock clutched her closer to him and in one smooth motion hoisted her over his shoulder. "You'll prove my point in the ring, boy." Rock stated before turning away. Angel was still punching and screaming, trying to get away from Rock.
