Erupting With Lies
Chapter 3
The tape kept on playing, going to show Chris Jericho bribing the Australian doctor to pose in a travel commercial. The exact same commercial that played the night of Hunter and Stephanie's wedding vow renewal. Hunter was speechless to say the least. Stephanie hadn't lied to him, she was telling the truth. He then looked down at Stephanie who was now outside the ring. As soon as the tape came on a he had let go of her and apparently she ran away. But now she was cuddled up in a small ball with her head on top of her knees and Kurt by her side. He was still dumbfounded that she really was pregnant, and with his baby.
Once the tape finished playing Kurt slowly led Stephanie to the backstage area. As she left she glanced at Hunter again, he looked like he had just seen a ghost. His eyes were blank of any emotion but as soon as he came to his senses his face turned red with anger and he darted around looking for Jericho. The rotten low life was nowhere to be found.
" Kurt, I'll be okay." Stephanie sits down on the leather sofa in her dressing room.
" Are you sure?" Kurt asked, worry in his voice. She was one of his best friends and he was concerned for her.
" I'm positive Kurt. But will you do me one favor?"
" Anything."
" Go find Hunter and have him come here. Tell him I really need to talk to him."
" Okay. I'm on it." He leaves the room and Stephanie is now alone. She was mentally preparing to see Hunter. She knew that it was probably going to get very emotional so she swiped the tissue box of her desk. As the knock on her door came tears also did. She choked them back and said, " Come in." Hunter slowly and cautiously walked over to where Stephanie was. She motioned for him to sit down and he did. They were both attempting to avoid what was just learned. That damn Chris Jericho tried to split them up.
" Um, Hunter?" She whispers.
" Yeah?" He whispers back
" You want to go back to the hotel? I mean, we might have more privacy there. Seeing as this is also Chris' room and his stuff is still here. So he might come in."
" No Steph, I want to talk right now." He gets up and locks the door and then resumes his seat on the couch, " Now he can't in." They sit there for a few moments in silence before Stephanie's voice is heard.
" Okay, so…um…I'm pregnant." She ends with a smile appearing on her face.
He returns her smile and begins to speak, " I know. We're going to be parents…"
" To bad we won't be together." She says sadly.
" What do you mean not together?" Hunter asks confused.
" Well, me and Kurt…" as soon as the words leave her mouth Hunter's face drops and Stephanie panickly starts to talk, " I, I thought you knew. Everybody knew. I…how…how'd you not know?"
" Steph, I really thought we could work this out. But…you know what, I'm not even going to say what I want to. It won't help anything. I'll see you around." He heads for the door and his fingertips graze the metal. But as soon as he hears Stephanie shakily calling his name he can't be mad. She had this weird type of power over him and he hated it.
" Please Hunter, just, just talk to me. Please. We can work this out. We can!"
" No we can't. Bye Steph." It takes all the power inside him not to go running back when he hears her yell for him. He couldn't do this. Not right now.
Chris is livid. Who would rat him out like that? Only two other people knew about his plan. Linda McMahon and Rhyno. He knew that Linda would never do this to him. They had worked so hard on it. But Rhyno, he might. He had only found out on a fluke, so there was a very good chance that he put the tape up. But only time would tell the truth.
