"Zach? Can you hear me?"
I had never seen anything like this before. Who the hell would want to hurt him? I knew that I had some issues with Ariel and Brock, and the whole situation with Randy, but this had nothing to do with Zach. I had never been more glad that the clerk had given me the key card, although looking back I didn't even need it in the first place, as someone had left him here lying in his own shit, just waiting for someone to find him.
Using as much strength as I could muster I tried to pick him up, but it seemed that he was a lot heavier then he really looked. I thought he would be a bit easier to pick up and I could barely get him up past my knees. Lucky for me I didn't have to try too much harder, he was starting to come back.
"Hayley?"
"Yeah it's me. What the hell happened here?"
"You hit me, so shouldn't I be asking you?" he asked me as he rubbed his head where he had smacked his head off the floor before blacking out.
"I don't know what you're talking about. I didn't make one move on you."
"Then who did it?"
"I was hoping you knew that. I came off the elevator after talking the clerk into giving me a spare key card to come check on you, and I find you lying on the floor and your door is wide open. Zach who would want to do this to you?"
"Three guesses Hayley and the first two don't count. There is no one else who would want to hit me right about now."
"But why would they want to touch you? The issue is with me, not with you. Me not having sex with Randy had nothing to do with you, and everything to do with him being an asshole and my best friend being too hooked on Brock to see straight."
"So you not having sex had nothing to do with me at all? Zach asked me with a small grin forming on his lips.
"No actually it didn't. But since you are asking, I'm glad that I didn't do it because of what is going on with you right now."
"So what do we do about this?"
"We take it to Jim. I do not want to go after them seeing as I am going to be on a flight with them and you later. I just want to forget this shit ever happened and get back to living."
"What do you mean you're flying out with us?"
"I mean that Jim told me what you asked him to do. You knew that the reason I didn't want to get involved was because of your leaving me, and so you went to Jim knowing how much I love writing, and asked him to give me a job. What you didn't expect though was that he was actually going to do it."
"He offered you a job? You work for us now?"
"No, I work with you now. And yes he did offer me a job and I took it and I leave with you and the rest of the guys and girls tonight."
"Oh Hayley, he told me to forget about it, he couldn't and wouldn't do it, and well my gosh this is the best news!"
I was kind of taken back as he stood to his feet and took me into his arms and gave me a hug. I am not normally an affectionate person by nature but for some reason being hugged by Zach just seemed right for what we were talking about. I just wanted to make sure that he knew I was taking this job seriously and wasn't going to bullshit my way through it just to be around him.
"You do know that this means we are going to be working a lot together right Hayley?"
"Yes I'm aware of it. Why do you ask?"
"Because that means there is nothing standing in our way now. You like me, and I like you, and now with us being on the road together, we can finally try."
"I wouldn't be so sure Zach. This doesn't change anything, at least not for me."
*************************
"I cannot believe you punched him that hard Brock."
"Well you did want me to take him out for you didn't you Randy? I mean you do want to get Hayley back with you don't you?"
"Yeah of course I do. I like the girl, and yeah I know I made a mess of things, but now that she has taken the job with the WWE, I want to make sure Zach knows he's not going to get her without a fight."
"Randy, maybe you should just let this one go." Ariel spoke up, for the first time that evening. She hadn't wanted to start a fight with Brock or with Randy but she knew that going after Zach and making it look like a random hit was going to make Hayley think even less of them, and of her more importantly. She didn't know right yet how she felt about that.
"Let it go? Ariel didn't you say before that you thought that this was the right thing? You're with Brock now, and I would think you would want to see Brocks best friend happy."
"But is Hayley the right girl to do that?"
"Yeah I believe she is."
Not hearing the door open and Jim walk into the room, Randy looked to Brock and smiled.
"What I did to her at that club, it was just the beginning. She thinks that she likes Zach, but once she sees how I've changed, she's going to have trouble turning me down."
"What do you mean Randy? You haven't changed at all. I mean you do realize that you just went and had Brock take out Zach. How does that mean you've changed and how is it going to make Hayley see what a wonderful guy you are?"
"I was actually just going to ask the same thing gentleman. You mind telling me what the hell is going on?"
Randy flipped around and seeing Jim standing there with his arms crossed over his chest in anger, he knew he had been had.
"Jim, we were just talking."
"Yes you were just talking about the girl who is now an employee of this company. And as such I expect that you will leave her alone, or I will make sure that I have a talk with your father who I know you respect a great deal and then a nice long talk with Vince. I think that some action would be appropriate for what you've done here."
"What do you mean what I've done. I haven't done a damn thing worth getting in trouble about."
"I would think that almost raping a girl that is barely 18 is enough grounds for action don't you Mr. Orton? Not to mention bringing drugs into the equation as well as her best friend who if my sources are correct, is under the age of 18. Am I right Ariel?"
Ariel looked like a deer in headlights. There was no way that he could know about how young she was or anything else about her for that matter. This had to all be a game.
"Yes Sir that would be right. Look guys, have a safe trip back to the States and Brock please remember to call me when you get there."
Walking past Jim and letting herself out of the room, she leaned against the door. Hayley had gotten a job with the WWE and she was stuck on the sidelines. There was nothing she could do now but sit back and watch the fireworks erupt.
***********************
"Brock, Randy I am only going to say this once. Leave this girl alone, or you are going to be in for a world of trouble that at this stage in the game you don't need believe me. Now get yourselves packed and meet me downstairs in 30 minutes. We have to get to the airport.
"Yes Jim."
*********************
A/N: I figured I was going to add something weird in these chapters for added tension and well with the addition of Spanky in the other chapter and now Randy's admission that he isn't giving up on Hayley, it is going to make things fun in the WWE isn't it? God Help Hayley, and as always read and review.
