A/n: its not that long… oh well

Disclaimer: I own riley and sammy, and nothing else

"Women….do you realize that you have no Bon Jovi cds?" Riley asked her cousin with a raised eyebrow

"Bon Jovi? Belle, you were always the 80's freak not me" Samantha answered as she drove back to her house to pick up some clothes

"But Samantha, Bon Jovi is not an 80's band. They are a timeless band. I mean they have been going since 1984…"

"80's band" Sammy cut in

"And they are showing no signs of stopping. Do you realize, that all the members are happily married and that they are still selling out stadiums? I mean…" Riley continued

"We're here!" Samantha said; glad to cut Riley's rant short

Riley stopped in the middle of her sentence and looked up. "Jeez Sammy, don't cut no slack do you?" She said as she took in the pool, balconies and obviously lavish living quarters

"Shut it and lets go" Samantha said getting out of the car as Riley followed suit. They entered Samantha's apartment, and Riley stood at the doorway in shock. The apartment was lavish with leather furniture, and tropical looking plants everywhere.

"I'm just gonna grab some clothes and necessities and we'll leave" Samantha said. They wanted to leave tonight as it was a long drive to Miami

"Ok…" Riley said unsure of what to do with herself, so she just followed Samantha into the equally expensive looking bedroom and plopped down on the bed. She watched as Sam threw random clothes into her suitcase and snapped it shut. They went into the kitchen and grabbed some snacks and drinks and they left.

Samantha threw her suitcase into the trunk along with Riley's. Riley quickly stopped her from closing the trunk and grabbed her cd book. Samantha looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Hey. Gotta have my music" She replied climbing into the passenger seat of the car.

"No Jovi." Samantha said as she started the car.

"Fine" Riley said and popped in a cd. Samantha quickly rolled her eyes as Kiss's I wanna rock and roll came on.

"You said no Jovi" Riley pointed out

"I shoulda said no 80's groups. At least it isn't Cindy Lapur" Samantha said rolling her eyes

"Oh God no." Riley replied rolling her eyes.

"Think you're gonna get the job?" Sam said

"Hopefully. You know….this is like so unlike me. I mean…."

"Who woulda thought that you would be going on a road trip, abandoning everyone back home, end up in a car crash, a hospital, and have to call me, and take a huge risk and head down to Miami to get a job?"

"Me"

"You aren't gonna sit there and tell me this is what you wanted to do all your life Belle"

"No….I wanted to go to college, get a job as a journalist, and write movie and cd reviews"

"This is far from that."

"Take what I can get Sammy"

"You don't know what would have happened if you had stayed back there"

"I would have died"

"Belle…"

"No me myself….but me as in my spirit. Those people….they killed it…a part of it…"

Samantha looked at her cousin.

"Then I'm glad you left"

"Me too."

"Play your Jovi" Sammy said rolling her eyes

Riley grinned when she realized that Samantha had submitted and popped in her burned cd of various songs and a song that described Riley to a T at the moment began playing Everyday.

// I used to be the kind of guy
Who'd never let you look inside
I'd smile when I was crying
I had nothing but a life to loose
Thought I had a lot to proof
In my life, there's no denying//

Riley shook her hair out of her ponytail and sang along.

Samantha laughed and said "Ok…I get it….the songs describe you?"

// Goodbye to all my yesterdays
Goodbye, so long, I'm on my way//

Riley laughed and looked at Samantha. "I wish! Some of 'em yea…but like…Bed of Roses…the love songs….I wish!"

"Ok…so where do we pencil in fall in love into that dream of yours."

"Hmmmm" Riley laughed her gray eyes dancing. "When I'm at the peak of my career would be nice"

"Any preferences?" Samantha asked

"Tall, dark….handsome…." Riley said

"Shallow much?" her cousin responded

"Oh come on. People always say looks don't matter, but are you gonna walk down the street with an ugly person?" Riley said shaking her head

"True…so we have your career, your dream guy…how you gonna go down?" Samantha asked

"What do you mean?" Riley questioned

"You're gonna leave your mark. Question is how are you gonna leave the business? How are you gonna go down?" Samantha clarified

"Oh that's easy. Exactly how I told everyone…"

"Wanna remind me. I missed the speech"

"I'm going down in a blaze of glory"

~In Miami the next day~

"Wake up!" Riley shouted in her cousin's ear. They had arrived in Miami at around 5 in the morning and checked into a hotel. It was 9 now.

"I'm up. I'm up" Samantha said rubbing her eyes. She blinked as she saw her cousin that was apparently wide awake, showered and ready for her meeting, which they had yet to set up.

"Ok is this the same Belle I grew up with, that would hurt me for waking her up at 10 o'clock?" Samantha said confused

"Yes. Now get up" Riley replied as she put on the TV.

Samantha sighed as she got up and went into the bathroom to clean up. A half hour later she appeared, dressed and ready.

"Did you call to make an appointment?" She asked Riley

"I'm gonna right now" Riley replied picking up the phone and dialed the number.

"Hello?" A male's voice answered

"Hi. I would like to speak to a...Mr.Chris Ivrine concerning the ad he placed in the paper. Is he available? Riley asked politely

"This is he. Yes, the ad. Um, What did you say your name was?" Chris asked

"Riley Smith" Riley responded

"Can you come buy around 11 this morning?" he asked

"Sure." Riley said

Chris quickly gave her the address and directions and hung up. Riley hung up and looked at her cousin.

"Well this should be interesting" She said raising her eyebrow

~at 11~

Riley straightened her white shirt, and looked down at her black skirt. 'Best I can do right now' she thought to herself, and put a smile on her face as the door opened.

"Hi. I'm Chris Ivrine. And you must be Riley." A very familiar face said as he shook her hand

"Yes. It's a pleasure to meet you" Riley said mentally smacking herself, for not realizing who he was sooner. Her brother just talked about wrestling 24/7.

"Please come in" Chris said looking at the relatively young girl. 'Might work out good. I need someone who's up to traveling'

Riley entered the house and looked around. "Nice…house" The place was gigantic

"Thanks. Excuse the mess, with a 2 year old daughter running around its hard to clean." He led her to what appeared to be a living room. "Please take a seat" Chris said and Riley did so.

"Let me explain exactly what you would need to do, and then we'll see if you're still interested." He said picking up a stuffed animal

Riley nodded her head in agreement

"Well…are you familiar with the WWE?" He asked

Riley laughed. "Yes Mr. Ivrine…or should I say Jericho?"

"Chris is fine" He laughed somewhat relieved. "Well" he continued. "My wife, left a few months ago. Decided she wasn't much of a wife or mother, and left. I go back to work next Monday. I need someone, to tidy up around here when we are home, and take care of Jamie when we are on the road." He concluded and looked at her

Riley let a small smile appear across her face. "Well first let me say, I'm sorry to hear that your wife left you. But Mr. Ivrine. I am still very interested in the job"

"Well do you have any references?" Riley's smile left her face

"Mr.Ivrine. I…cut ties with everyone back home in New York." Riley said "I have no references, but I am capable of doing this job properly" she continued

Chris looked at her. He had a good feeling about her.

"I…lets try this out….on a trial basis. You're young enough, to know how to connect to a 2 year old. And you I'm sure that anyone at your age wants to see the country. Let's try it for 2 weeks" Chris said going with his gut

Riley started to grin. "Thank you so much Mr. I mean Chris. I didn't want to come off as desperate, but I really need this job."

"One last thing…where are you staying at the moment?"

"At a hotel" Riley responded and named it

"And with who? If anyone?"  Chris asked raising an eyebrow

"My cousin. But she's leaving tonight to head back home"

"You are going to stay here. It would make life easier. You can move in tonight. You can meet Jamie then as well" Chris said, not wanting her to stay alone

Riley hesitated while she debated in her mind. "Ok" she said quickly before she could change her mind. 'What could it hurt? It's a place to stay' she thought to herself

"Great." He got up and shook her hand and showed her to the door. Riley exited the property and gave a sigh of relief.

"Well Riley, this is what you got. Work with it" she said to herself
