Lost, Confused, Unkind (Sequel To "Freaked")
Chapter 15
After we'd dried off & gotten dressed Matt held me as we stood in the bathroom. He stroked my hair as I buried my head into his chest.
"You ok babe?"
I looked up at him, "Yeah fine!"
Matt smiled, "See all that worrying & I told you it would be ok didn't I?" he planted a kiss on my nose, "So everything's fine yeah?"
"Stop worrying Matt I told you, everything's great!"
"Man I needed that! WOOOOOO!" he laughed & I playfully punched his arm!
"MATT!" I giggled & he winked & grabbed me & twirled me around.
"I love you Matt!" I said as I looked into his beautiful eyes.
"Well then I'm one hell of a lucky guy!" he smiled, "But I guess I have to go to work huh?"
"I guess so!"
"You want the camcorder again?"
"Sure! That'd be great!"
"Ok it's in my bag in the locker! I'll be out in 2 minutes!" He kissed me before I went out of the bathroom. I was rummaging through his bag when Jeff knocked on the door.
"Hey guys it's me! Can I come in!?"
"Yeah Jeff some in!" I laughed.
"Hi! I left my belt, ah there it is!" He grabbed his belt from one of the hooks on the wall, "Where's Matt?"
"Getting ready for show time!"
"So how did it go with calling home?"
I looked at the bathroom door & whispered, "Ok, erm you wanna take a walk?"
"Sure!"
"MATT! I'm just going for a wander around with Jeff!" I shouted.
"Ok hun see you later!"
Jeff & I went down to the arena & we sat down in 2 of the thousands of empty seats. I looked out at everyone running around, stage hands, camera men, wrestlers, photographers…it was a hive of activity!
"So what did your folks say then? Did you get a chance to talk to them?"
"Yeah I spoke to Mum, she……well there's something she's not telling me but I can't put my finger on it!"
"You think Mick's out?"
"See that's not it Jeff! She's my mother & she'd never lie to me if it meant endangering my life! She was here for the trial, she knows what a psycho he is!!"
Jeff nodded, "Yeah I guess you're right! Surely she'd tell you if he got out!" He paused, "STEVE!"
"Well I thought of him too!" I bit on my lip, "But how am I going to find out if he's still in jail?"
Jeff clenched his fists in his lap, "Bec if it's him I'll kill him I swear!"
"Jeff! Come on man that's not what I need to hear right now!"
"Yeah, I'm sorry! I just still can't believe he was behind all that crap! I thought I knew the guy & to top it off he tries to put me in the picture!! Some friend! It just burns me up when I think about it!"
"Well imagine what it does to me then!"
Jeff reached over & took my hand, "I'm sorry Bec! I can't even imagine what it must be like! I'll shut up!"
I smiled, "It's ok Jeff!"
"Hey what about the cop? What's her name..erm.."
I thought about it, "SMITHURST!!"
"That's the one! Call her! Surely if you have any concerns she can check it out for you? See if he's still inside!"
"Not just an ugly mug huh?!" I smiled & patted his cheek. "Yeah I'll call the police station later, put my mind at rest if nothing else!"
"Hey guys! Wondered where you'd gotten to!" Matt bounded up the steps towards us & Jeff quickly let go of my hand!
"Hey bro! All set?"
"Yeah I just thought I'd come & kiss my woman before my little brother kicks my ass in the ring!" we laughed. Matt kissed me & Jeff looked away.
"So, you ready bro? Thought we'd get in a practise run," he looked down to the ring, "That's if we can ever get Kurt out of there!" he laughed.
"Sure Matt let's go!"
"OK! See you in a little while!" Matt smiled & kissed me again & then he enthusiastically ran back down the steps telling Jeff all about what he thought they could do in the show. I smiled as I watched them go down to the ring and Shannon, Adam & Jay joined them. I saw Matt talking to Kurt & he gestured my way so I smiled & waved. Then I saw Kurt heading up the steps towards me.
"Hi!" he held out his hand & I took it, "Kurt Angle!" he beamed.
"Hi, um yeah I know!" I laughed, "I'm Bec!"
"How's it goin' Bec?"
He sat down in the seat behind me so I turned around to face him.
"It's going pretty good! Yourself?"
"Great thanks! Listen Matt was telling me you were doing some sort of behind the scenes movie for your kid brother!"
"Oh yeah!" I lifted the camera to show him, "Jake! He's a big fan!"
"Matt figured you might want to come with me? I have to go & see a few of the guys so.."
"That would be great! Thanks Kurt!"
"Cool! Come on then! Get that camcorder charged & we'll see who we can find!"
He led me to the backstage area & I switched on the camera. There was loads of familiar faces running around and I didn't want to miss a thing for Jake! I actually felt guilty that the little guy wasn't there with me, poor kid would've collapsed if he'd seen what I'd seen the last couple of days! Kurt was brilliant on camera & he made me laugh all the time! He managed to introduce me to half of the Smackdown rosta in just under an hour! I met Chris Benoit, Big Show, Team Angle, formally met Rey Mysterio who was a real nice guy & I could NOT understand why he hid that face under a mask!! We bumped into Stephanie & Shane again, he did a fantastic skit with Paul Heyman that Jake would just LOVE! But the icing on the cake was getting The Undertaker on film! He was definitely one of Jake's favourites & after chatting with him for a while, he was one of mine too! Just before show time I even managed to get Hulk Hogan on film as he passed in the corridor!
"Dad will be impressed!" I said to Kurt & he found that quite amusing!
Kurt then introduced me to his wife, Karen & I sat with her to watch the show! When it was all over I was exhausted & couldn't wait to get back to the hotel & snuggle up with Matt! I was having to adjust pretty damn fast to this wrestling business & it wasn't easy! When we were at home Matt was mine! I had all of his attention & all of his time, but out here it was a completely different story! Everyone wanted a piece of him & he was so focused on his job that sometimes I felt as though I was in the way! When we headed back to the hotel room I couldn't wait to get inside & close the door on the rest of the world!
