Also I'm planning a surprise to happen in about 3 chapters, so keep watching reading and reviewing for that surprise. Love ya guys!
***************************
Walking into my hotel room, I threw my duffle bag down on the bed and went and tuned the television on automatically. It was still a little surreal that I was sitting here with a bunch of wrestlers after only yesterday being a normal high school senior. I know my mother wasn't pleased with my choice to get on the flight and give up my schooling, but this was something I had to do.
Realizing I had promised that I would phone her when I got to the hotel, I immediately went to the phone. Dialing the number that I knew so well, I waited while it rang in my ears. My mother was usually in her office working this time of night, so I knew that when she didn't answer on the third ring, she would answer it in a couple of more. Much like I suspected on the sixth ring she picked up the phone.
"Hello, Peterson residence."
"Mom its Hayley. The flight was fine and I'm sitting here at the hotel right now. So I just wanted to make sure you didn't worry about me or anything."
"Oh Hayley dear! Thank goodness for that. Guess who stopped by for a visit?"
"Who?'
"Your little friend from school."
"Okay mom I really don't know who you mean when you say little friend from school. Have you been drinking?"
"No dear and that is not a proper way to talk to your mother." I heard her laugh into the background and I couldn't believe it. I knew that when my mother got depressed about something she hit the wine bottle a little hard then she normally would after a hard day's work, and my leaving and hopping on a plane to go miles away was cause enough to drink. I couldn't help feeling badly about it though, but why she was lying about her drinking was beyond me. She knew I wouldn't judge her for it.
"Okay mom, I'm sorry. So why don't you tell me who is there with you right now?"
"Ariel. She is such a treat to be around Hayley. Would you like to speak with her dear?"
I didn't really understand why my ex best friend was sitting at my house with my mother, but I didn't have to wait much longer to find out. I heard my mother pass the phone and then I heard Ariel's shrill voice come onto the line.
"Oh Hayley! How is the WWE?"
"Well Ariel, not that you care, but I haven't started just yet. I just got off the plane. Now what the hell are you doing there with my mother? I don't want to hear bullshit about how you care about her since I left either. Because we all know you don't give two shits about anything."
"Hayley, you need to let go of your anger issues. Brock is gone now; we can get back to normal. I just needed to get Randy out of the picture for you."
"Oh is that what you call turning your back on your friend and making her think that she wanted sex when all she really wanted was a chance to get an interview with a wrestler?"
"SO bitter you are Hayley. Listen, I came over to see you and your mother said you had left to take a job, and she also told me that you're leaving school too and will only be back for grad night. So I just wanted to tell you as your friend that I'm happy for you girl. It looks like you can be around Zach all you want now."
I couldn't believe the shit she was spewing out of her mouth and expecting me to believe. I had known Ariel all my life and I loved her, no matter what she did, but I wasn't stupid and I knew that if Brock and Randy called her up right now and asked her to go against me, she would do it in a heartbeat.
"Hayley are you there?"
"Yeah I'm here, listen Ariel there is something I need to tell you, and I know you probably won't believe me and you might even hate me after it, but I think you should know."
"Oh and what would you need to tell me?"
"Brock is using you. He told Randy on the plane that you are just filler and that he's just going to get another one in the new town we are in. So I don't think he's going to call you, and I honestly don't think you should call him."
I didn't want to hurt my best friend but someone had to make her see that what she had done, turning her back on me and our long friendship was just wrong and that I was only looking out for her like I hoped she would look out for me. I just hoped she listened to the words I had to say.
"I'm just filler?"
"That's what he said. I'm not sure what the hell he means by filler aside from what it sounds like right off the top of my head. I'm sorry Ariel."
"Don't be sorry. I should be the one that's sorry. I shouldn't have gone against you. I saw that randy was doing to you in his car and how out of it you were. I knew how much you hated drinking and just being around it. I should have known you wouldn't do anything like this but I had this chance to be with Brock and he seemed to really like me, so I took it and ran with it. I'm sorry I chased you out of town and the school with my lies. Can you forgive me?"
"It's forgiven Ariel, but I wont forget it, not for a really long time. I'm just sorry I had to be the one to tell you about this."
"Well I've got an idea; think you can help me pull it off?"
"Sure, just let me know and I will do what I can."
I listened as she laid out the plan for me. I couldn't wait to do it. It was about time that these two guys got what they wanted. They had some things in store for me, well it was time that I fought back, and with Ariel on my side again, there was no way that those two apes would know what hit them.
****************************
When I put the phone down, I started to unpack my bags when a knock came on my door. Throwing the pants I had just pulled out of the bag down onto the bed I went to the door and opened it wide.
"Hey Zach, come on in!"
"We didn't get a chance to talk on the flight much, and I went to Jim about the attack in Toronto and he's going to look into it. Now that I finally got some time to come see you, I took it. How are you doing?"
"Just got off the phone with my mother."
"How is she taking being away from her daughter?"
"She's drinking, and as much as I hate that, she was bound to do it when I went to college anyway. So she just had to do it earlier this time. She's been this way since my dad left us."
"I don't know what to say, that's tough."
"Yeah it is tough, so what brings you by again?"
"Actually I wanted to take you out. We don't have to worry about anything WWE related tonight, so why don't I take you out to a movie?"
"You know what Zach; I think that's a good idea."
"Listen Hayley, there is something I've been meaning to talk to you about. Do you think we could talk before we go?"
"Sure Zach, what's on your mind?"
"I asked you yesterday, if now that you were working with the WWE, if we could be together. Actually I didn't ask you, I just assumed. You told me not to be so sure. Is there something you want to tell me about?"
"Zach, I got this job because you asked Jim for me, and it just so happens that Jim has faith in me. So I don't want that faith to be misplaced and overshadowed by us getting together. So the reason I said that isn't because I don't like you. We established how much we like each other the night we spent together in the hotel room. I just need to do this and do it the right way right now."
"So you like me, but you don't want to officially date me?"
"Yeah that's it in a nutshell."
"Where does Brian fit in?"
"What about Brian?"
"It's obvious he likes you, and you two sat together on the plane. I came to sit with you but he had beaten me too it. So are you sure it's not about Brian?"
"It's not about Brian. He's been nice to me that's all. Not that I have to explain it to you. Yes Zach, I like you, and yes we did make love. I just can't allow myself to get this close to you right now."
"Why?"
"Can we just drop this and go out and have a good time?"
"Hayley, why is it okay to come to my hotel room and make love to me, then leave in the morning before I wake up, and now its not okay to share your feelings with me and get together?"
"You make it seem so damn easy. You wrestlers piss me off!"
"Us wrestlers? What the hell does that mean?"
"First Randy, drugging me and trying to have sex with me, then Brock, trying to kick the shit out of you because of me, and now here I sit with you, liking you so fucking much, but scared to do anything about it because its not the right time and its dangerous. Now on top of all of that, Brian likes me now too? I didn't come here to be a fucking object Zach. I came here because I really think I can do a good job."
"Well finally she admits it."
"Oh what the hell do you mean now?"
"You just admitted why you don't want to be with me. Now let's go watch the movie alright? No more pressure, just a good time. Hayley, when the time comes when you think you can be with me, you let me know. For now, it's just nice to have you around. You really are a friend to me."
Looking at him for a split second, trying to figure out what he meant, I smiled. I knew that I had just shot out all of the things I had been thinking about since meeting the people in the WWE, and if Zach had gotten something that made sense out of it, and he now understood and would lay off, then I couldn't be happier.
"Hayley, one more thing."
"Yeah Zach?"
"When we made love, how was it?"
Laughing and slapping him on the shoulder, I walked to my door and opened it. I didn't want to get into this right now, and it was bad enough I could feel the color taking over my cheeks and I was going deep red.
""Let's go Romeo, or we are going to miss the movie and have to catch the late show."
***************************
A/N: So I took the mystery out of something. A couple chapters back when they met in the hotel and they kissed, and a lot of you got pissed because it was too soon, well they made love. Now I didn't mention it until about 10 chapters later so technically its not too soon now! LOL also I made her admit she's scared of Zach getting hurt, which is going to play into something in the next chapter, with Randy and Brock plotting against them. Ariel and Hayley's plan will become apparent in two chapters, as I build on it more, and don't throw Brian out of the mix yet. He is still the wild card! Read and Review as always!
