Fine Line Between Love and Hate
Chapter Nine
It was again Monday night and despite the job interview she had at eight thirty the next morning Ali decided to say up and watch Raw. That was one habit that she'd never been able to let go of after the whole messed up situation with Randy.
Waiting for Raw to start she couldn't help but remembering all the times that she, Randy and Leigh would sit around the television on Saturday mornings watching wrestling. Those had been the good days, now the three could barely be in the same room together without all hell breaking loose. Sure usually it was only her and Randy that couldn't stand each other, but Leigh wasn't usually any help.
As Raw started she couldn't believe the hype that Randy was getting. True he was the intercontinental champion, and she would admit that he had talent that if developed correctly would make him great, but did he really deserve all the hype? Of course she would never let him think he deserved all the hype, if they would ever be on speaking terms again, which considering she was avoiding him at the moment might be never.
She was surprised when his match the was main event. Intercontinental title match was usually a big deal but not a main event deal. Despite the fact that she didn't like him she couldn't help root for him in his match, maybe it was the fact that she was one of the odd people that didn't like RVD, it was to easy to root for the good guys.
She had a new respect for Randy on a professional level and couldn't help but feeling the desire to call him and make sure he was okay even though everything was probably scripted. She tried to fight the urge to call him but about 10:30 (St. Louis time), she couldn't fight the need to make sure that he was alright. She found the piece of paper that she wrote his number on.
"Hello," Randy said groggily.
"Hey," Ali said not really knowing what to say next. She hadn't thought that far ahead.
"Ali," Randy said recognizing her voice after a few seconds. She noticed the surprise in his voice.
"You had a great match tonight," Ali said not able to think of anything else. It would be stupid to tell him that she was worried about him because they both knew how things like that worked.
"Thanks," Randy said. "Did you want to go out sometime to catch up?"
Ali hesitated for a moment. "Okay, when will you be back in town?" she asked before she could stop herself.
"Thursday I think," Randy said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Randy couldn't believe that she actually called him back, well yet anyway. He was still a little dazed after the match with RVD that he had. His head wasn't supposed to hit the security wall.
He was even more surprised when Ali agreed to not treat him like he had the plague for at least a little while. He didn't want to get to happy incase it fell through at the last minute like plans he made with anyone tended to do. Unavoidable things always tended to pop up.
"I guess I'll see you soon," Ali said. She hoped that it would be a little further away so if she felt the need to get out of it then she could. "By they way don't hit you head it hurts."
"Yeah I kind of figured that out," Randy said more aware of what was going on. He was pretty out of it when he answered the phone. "I'm fine though. Nothing a few stitches and a little rest won't cure."
"Good, I mean if you were really hurt it wouldn't be nearly as much fun to torment you," Ali said. Randy could only imagine the smirk she had on her face at the moment.
"If I get this kind of reaction maybe I should get banged up more often," Randy said, it was his turn to smirk.
"I have to go," Ali said, "I have to get up way to early in the morning."
"You and me both," Randy said. "Bye."
When he got back to the Evolution locker room to grab his stuff and catch a ride back to the hotel he was again bombarded with questions. It was kind of unsettling having a group of you close friends want to know everything about you're personal live especially when to quote Ric "you're grinning from ear to ear". He again wouldn't tell them, he was almost positive they were up to something that involved him and Ali and that relationship (if you could call it that) was already unstable enough without their interference.
"Guys leave him alone," Sydney finally interfered. She couldn't stand them asking him so many questions when he clearly didn't want to give them any answers. She wasn't sure if he could anyway with the way he'd been acting. He wasn't getting the usual enjoyment out of the theories that they were coming up with. "He's had the match of his career and I'm sure his head hurt more than it ever has in his life."
"Thank you, someone is finally on my side," Randy said almost running into the wall. He was still a little bit disoriented.
"Are you sure you're okay?" Sydney asked. "I mean still being a little disoriented is a sign of a concussion. That was a pretty hard shot into the barrier and you weren't expecting it."
"I will be fine," Randy said. "All I need is some rest and I'll be fine in the morning. I already told you guys that."
"Randy, I've had my share of injuries and she may be right, you might want to have that looked at," Paul said.
"I don't need any more medical attention," Randy insisted. He hated having them watch over him incessantly. It was worse than having his mother around sometimes. Then again his mother would be driving him to the local emergency room right now whether or not he wanted her to.
"I have an idea lets get some food and if you can't hold it down then we take you to make sure you're okay," Ric said wanting the insanity that he was witnessing to end.
"Fine we can get something to eat but I won't go to some stupid hospital," Randy said. He really wanted to go backto the hotel and sleep but right now that possibility looked slim right now.
"Then we'll redirect and go to the emergency room right now," Ric said. He knew Ella would kill him for not taking him to get more medical attention immediately, but some medical attention would be better than none.
"Fine, fine. I'll agree to your terms," Randy reluctantly agreed. He knew that tonight he'd be headed to the emergency room no matter how much he protested.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Despite what he told her a little while ago, Ali had trouble believing him. Even as a child he'd never admitted how much pain he was in. He'd always try to hide it from everyone. The time he fell out of a tree and almost broke his arm and said it was nothing and begged her and Leigh not to go in and tell her what happened.
She was kind of worried about him, replaying what she saw in her mind she wasn't sure if he was supposed to hit the security wall, not only by his delayed reaction getting up and RVD's hesitation, but by the way he hit. He hit head on not the way he usually would when he ran into something like that.
Unfortunately she had to push that out of her mind so that she would be able to function at her interview tomorrow, considering she still needed a job to keep up with her expenses. Not getting he job tomorrow probably wouldn't be a good thing, seeing as she had looked almost everywhere else in the city. Anyone who was looking almost was some scummy place.
