Title: Its Just A Crush
Once the plane lands I wait for Stephanie in the corridor. I tell my uncle I am going to ride with Stephanie to the hotel and that I am going to book my own room. The whole way to the hotel I still refuse to talk. I check myself into my room and meet Stephanie back down stairs to head to the arena. Once we get there I hide out in her office for as long as I can. I decide I can't hide all day so I walk out into the hallway to wander around. A stagehand comes rushing over to me to tell me Mark wants to speak with me in his dressing room. My first instinct is to tell him to go back to Mark and tell him to go fuck himself but I realize we might as well have this confrontation as soon as possible.
I head down to Mark's dressing room and walk in. He's sitting on the couch reading over his script. " Well I'm here master, I was informed you wanted to speak with me." Mark looks up at me and stands up. " First off I don't need to deal with your smart mouth so try to act like an adult. Secondly why wouldn't you sit next to me on the plane?" My mouth drops open in shock. " Um hello you were on the bus correct? You did hear Rena call me a ring rat? And what did you do, oh wait what you always do when it comes to defending me, absolutely nothing, big fucking surprise." Mark walks over to me and leans down in my face. " Don't even try it Mark, you won't intimidate me this time. You fucked up not me."
" I'm sorry I thought I heard you say I fucked up. Sorry to break it to you sweetheart but this time it's your entire fault. When that girl approached you in the lobby you told her we weren't dating so on the bus why would I say otherwise hmm? You had the chance to say you were my girlfriend but you didn't. That's not my fault. You claim to be in love with me but have you ever let other people hear that? No I think not." I rush at him and punch him as hard as I can in his stomach. While Mark doubles over in pain I start screaming at him. " You totally are a fucking asshole. You didn't see me the night you had the accident walking back into this arena crying my eyes out because we fought. You didn't see me in that waiting room bawling my eyes out when I thought you were gone. So don't you dare tell me I don't show my feelings. You're the fucking king of hiding his emotions. Did you think an expensive date would make up for the fact you never tell me how you feel? I'm not like the other women you have dated, oh wait we aren't dating right, I'm just your fuck buddy."
When Mark is finally able to stand up, he stares me dead in the eyes. " I've told you from the beginning I can't give you the words you want. I asked you out on a date thinking that would make you happy but obviously it didn't. Before you start coming down on me about hiding my feelings maybe you should look at yourself and see how you express how you feel. I bet if we were to take a poll backstage 90% of the people would think we are just fuck buddies as you like to say." He is such a damn idiot. I grab his hand and pull him with me down the hallway. When we get to the cafeteria I pull him in with me. I see Kevin, Steve, and my uncle at a corner table together. The rest of the boys are walking around getting food. I go over to Kevin and ask him to help me up on the table. " Chloe what the hell are you doing?" I look down at Steve. " I'm making a point, Mark you better listen up."
I cup my hands over my mouth. " Excuse me can I have everyone's attention? I promise this will only take a minute. In case some of you weren't aware of it I am in love with Mark Calloway. Yes that's right Mark Calloway so please go tell all of your friends so that every person that works for the WWE will know. In fact if someone could come up with a memo to send around that would be great. Thank you for your time, enjoy your food." I hop down off of the table and push past Mark. As I walk down the hallway I am stopped when a hand reaches out to grab me. I stop and turn around. " Fuck you Mark. I just made an ass of myself if front of everyone and you know why?" I angrily start to wipe at the tears streaming down my face. " Because I love you, that's what love makes you do. But to be honest with you right now I can't think of a single reason to love you. Can you think of any?" Mark lets me go and I stand there staring at him.
" I am going home on Friday. I refuse to cut this visit short because of you. If you want to stay away from me till I leave then fine. I won't come to you begging and pleading for you to spend time with me. I'm still in love with you and that's something I will have to deal with on my own. See you around." Before I can walk away Mark grabs me again. I stare up into his eyes. I gasp at the emotion I see in them. As he opens his mouth to speak and he shuts his mouth and takes a big gulp. I think this is it; this is the moment when he tells me he is in love with me too. " When you leave on Friday I will take you to the airport." With that said he walks past me down the hallway never looking back.
