A/N: This took awhile to get out to you, and I'm doing it now as I sit here in pain from burning myself on the hand. So bear with me, it will be a chapter of normal length, but gods help me if it doesn't get out tonight. She did not faint at the end of the last chapter. I know she faded into the darkness and I said she fainted, but she passed out. It seems better to make that the story because she was wasted. There will also be a little bit of news on why she would pass out after not so many drinks coming as well. All will be revealed in this chapter as I strive to make this the best first person effort I've ever done. Thank you all for the reviews thus far, they do mean so much to me, and I hope that I can continue to make this story great for you. Also as a side note, now that the Aurora story has been put to bed, look for more work coming out for this fic and the Belle Black fic in the next couple of days. I've got a ton of idea's and where I want to take this to make it a sweet romance.

"Bring her in here and put her down. I'm going to go get some smelling salts and see if we can't wake her up." Ariel said, leaving the two guys alone in Brock's hotel room with Hayley.

"I don't think that what she needs is smelling salts. She's wasted. Can you smell that Zach? I can't believe Randy let her drink that much."

"He had her in his car and he was going to hurt her. I think we can rule out what Randy is capable of can't we?"

"Do you think he really would have hurt her man? We're on the road with these guys all the time. I mean I have to wonder if this girl didn't come on to him in a drunken heat and make him get to the point of no return. Where is your loyalties man?"

Zach couldn't believe what he was hearing. This was something serious and Brock was sitting here asking him where his loyalties were. He loved doing what he did for a living but when it came to taking advantage of girls that didn't want to be taken advantage of, and especially someone who was young and naïve, there was just something not right about it, and he couldn't believe Brock couldn't see it.

Coming back into the room Ariel bent down beside her friend and leaned over her face. That's when she realized that her friend was wasted. Putting down the bag of ice and the smelling salts she had, she looked up at Zach.

"She's totally and completely wasted. She didn't pass out by accident in that car. She's too far gone."

"We figured that much out sweetheart. She's just a lush is all?" Brock said coming up and standing behind her, looking over Hayley's sleepy form.

"No Brock you don't seem to get it. Hayley doesn't drink. Her dad was a drunk who used to beat her and her mother. So she totally told me she would never drink anything stronger then cola. She's passed out and I'm telling you right now, she wouldn't drink a drop. This was planted this way."

"The smell coming off her is strong Ariel, so maybe you friend thought she should loosen up and have a good time with Randy. I was just telling Zach here that she probably got so wasted that she came on to him and now this is the repercussions of that."

"Okay you know what? Right now I'm tired of all of you wrestlers. If she didn't want the damn interview with all of you so badly she wouldn't have been out with him in the first place. So I'm going to wake her up and then we are getting the hell away from all you. I'm sorry Zach. I will get you the questions she still had left to ask you, and you can write down answers to them that way."

Zach nodded his head as Ariel picked up Hayley, feeling her body start to move as if she was waking up. Moving slowly towards the door, Ariel threw a look of disdain at Brock and walked out of the room. Zach limped slowly over to the door and shut it, turning his frustration on his friend.

"We're pretty close right?"

"Yeah man, we're best friends. Why do you ask?"

"Then why is it so hard for you to see that I like this girl, and that she's young, and she wouldn't just go out with Randy and make a move on him, and then turn him down like a tease. She's not the type."

"How do you know that from two days of being around her? You've known Randy for a year."

"Yeah, you're totally right, but let me ask you this, how many times has he come to Smack down shows to see John and he's bragging about all the girls he gets? Then there's this one girl, who right off the top senses what an ass he is, but being a reporter for a school paper, she goes to see him. Something just doesn't add up, and I think I believe Ariel. I'm sick of being around me too."

"She's just blowing off steam Zach. I'm sure Hayley will call you tomorrow and everything will make sense and this will all be some misunderstanding."

"Whatever Brock. I will talk to her again and I will get answers, but for now, I think we should all just go to bed and forget this night ever happened. This is quickly turning out to be the worst trip of my life. I've still got to go speak at that school in two days."

Grabbing his cane, he walked out of the room and down the hall. When he got to his door he paused. There was definitely more to this story then just her going out with Randy and wanting to get laid and then crying wolf, and he was just the person to find out. Even if Hayley didn't like it.

***********************

Stirring lightly in the bed, I woke up as the light streamed in on my face. I sat up slowly, grabbing my head as the sharp pain starting searing through it. I had no idea what had happened last night, and how I ended up back home in my bed and that thought scared me. I turned over in the bed and saw another body lying with me.

"Oh God what have I done?"

At that moment I saw the sheets move and Ariel popped out from under them. Looking at her, my face that had lost all color, suddenly regained it, and I sighed a huge sigh of relief. I had never been happier to see anyone in my entire life.

"Ariel Jesus, I thought you were Randy."

"So then it's true?"

"What's true" I don't know what you're talking about."

"Did you get drunk last night and want to sleep with Randy?"

"What the hell are you talking about? You know I don't drink anything stronger then pop when we do go out. How could you think I would?"

"Cant you smell that Hayley? You absolutely smell like you've been swimming in it. We found you in Randy's car and I just assumed he was trying to hurt you, but hey if you liked all of it, then I'm sorry he's not here with you in your bed."

I couldn't believe what she was saying. This was supposed to be my best friend and she really did think I was supposed to be sleeping with Randy right now. Knowing how I am about being with men, or even boys, and my whole thought process on drinking and how I would never touch it. I grabbed my head suddenly as I felt the headache start to pound again, driving my head completely crazy. Reaching into my bed stand I found the bottle of Advil and popped three.

"I'm not going to listen to this right now. We've got to get to school, and you know what? I know what happened the entire night until you showed up for me. So if anything else I know that I didn't drink and that I didn't want to be with Randy other then to get my interview. I was the one that called you and told you we were going out in his car and you knew how much I didn't want it. So why don't you get dressed and I will see you at school alright?"

"You seriously don't remember drinking last night?"

"Not one bit. How did you get to me anyway?"

"Brock and Zach drove us around the city and I figured if Randy was a sleaze bag he would take you clubbing and try to get you wasted. Seems I was right."

"He didn't turn out to be what I thought in the beginning. Actually wait a second. In the beginning I shot him down, and I only took the date to get out and get another interview. The interview was good; totally not what I thought Randy would be like."

"You went out with him because you couldn't date Zach, admit it."

"Go get dressed and get to school. We can talk all about Zach later. I need to finish the interview this afternoon anyway if he's available."

"He won't be available."

"What do you mean he won't be available?"

"I got pissed off at the two of them last night after we got you to the hotel at first. Brock wouldn't listen when I said you didn't drink and he thought you came onto Randy and made him be the ass he was. So I told Zach I hated all wrestlers right now, and walked out. I also told him I would bring him the remaining info and he could fill it out for you and get it back to you so you could do the article."

"Oh Ariel."

"Believe me; it's for the best this way Hayley. After last night we've had enough to do with those assholes. I'm going to go take a shower, and be on my way. See you later at school?"

"You know it."

I watched her carry her clothes into the bathroom and shut the door. I know she didn't want me to talk to Zach or any of them anymore, but I still had a job to do before he talked to the seniors at school, and I only had two days left. Grabbing the phone off the cradle, I dialed the number I had found I learned off by heart.

"Marriott Hotel."

"Can I please be put through to Zach Gowen's room please?"

"One Moment."

I waited for more then one moment to be connected to his room. I was about to give up hope when I heard the familiar voice on the line. At first not knowing what to say I sat there in silence, and then when I realized he might be ready to hang up, I spoke.

"Zach?"

"Hayley? Does Ariel know you are calling me?"

"No she's in the shower. I don't care what Ariel thinks Zach. I'm calling because I have to get the rest of the interview done and I'm wondering if you're free later this afternoon. I've got free periods all afternoon and thought it would be the perfect time to get this wrapped up."

"I'm free. You want to come here, or I meet you somewhere?"

"I'll come there. See you soon Zach, and thanks."

"For?"

"Last night."

"No problem Hayley, I will see you soon."

Placing the phone back on the hook, I looked at my desk, where the promotional pictures of Zach were lying face up. Walking over to my desk I took one look at them and smiled. I was going to finish this article the way it deserved, and I was going to put this Randy shit behind me, and when everything was all said and done, and I could go back to normal, I was going to make Zach Gowen a part of my life.

*****************

A/N: This chapter comes out like shit, yes I know it does, but I needed to get something out there based on the last chapter's events. I also made you think about something if you can tell what it is, or what you think it might be, put it in your review. If not the next chapter will explain what really happened with Hayley and Randy.
