Chapter 10:
RAW, Chicago
"I can't go, I'm just gonna stay here."
"Jennifer stop being a procrastinator."
"I'm not, I'm just gonna go back to sleep."
"Jennifer Marie; You're going...NOW!" Michael said firmly as he pulled Jennifer off the bed.
The two had been bickering for the past 20 minutes on whether Jennifer should go to the arena or not, Michael stood firm on his decision and Jennifer groaned and stood up, she knew once he made up his mind, there's no changing it. She pulled back her hair into a ponytail and grabbed her purse as the two headed out.
Once they were at the arena, Michael stepped out of the car and looked at Jennifer, who sat there nervously looking straight ahead. Michael smiled sympathetically and tapped her on the shoulder, "Time to get out," he said.
Jennifer turned toward her uncle and looked at him sadly, "I can't do this Michael," she sighed.
Michael sighed and sat down on the car seat, "Jen, you can't avoid him forever; he deserves an explanation."
Jennifer nodded and said, "I know but...I'm so nervous, I totally screwed up."
"Hey, no one's perfect, not even you...I know you guys can work it out to the point where you're at least friends," Michael said.
"Don't bet on it," Jennifer said as she sighed deeply.
"Ready?" Michael asked.
Jennifer nodded, "Ready as I'll ever be." Jennifer opened the car door and slowly got out, Michael got his stuff out of the trunk, he wrapped his arm around Jennifer's shoulder as the two headed inside.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Michael and Jennifer headed down the hall and stopped in front of the men's locker room, "Remember be open," Michael said as he hugged Jennifer and stepped in the room.
Jennifer took a breath and walked down the hall, as she was walking down the hall, she saw Stacy at the vending machine, she looked up and shook her head before walking off. Jennifer watched sadly as Stacy walked away, "Great, everyone's pissed at me," she said to no one in particular as she headed down the hall.
Jennifer was so into her thoughts that she didn't notice the person coming out of a room until she walked into him. Jennifer looked up and said, "I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going."
Paul looked down and gave a small smile, "It's okay Jennifer, so what's up?".
Jennifer shrugged and said, "Nothing."
Paul looked at Jennifer, "He's in the gym just down the hall."
Jennifer looked confused as she said, "How did you-"
"Hey, I'm not completely clueless, now go and work out whatever's on you mind," Paul said as he walked off. Jennifer watched him leave and looked towards the gym, "You can do this", Jennifer told herself over and over as she headed down the hall.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jennifer opened the door slowly as she took a peak inside, she saw a few wrestlers working out, she scanned the room and saw Randy over in the corner lifting weights, his back turned to her. Jennifer closed the door and leaned against the wall, "I can't do this" she said outloud.
"Yes, you can."
Jennifer turned around and saw Stacy behind her with a stern expression on her face. Stacy walked up to the door and looked through the window, then she looked at Jennifer and said softly, "He's totally unfocused right now, I've never seen him like this."
Jennifer sighed and stood beside Stacy as she pointed at the window, She bit her lip and rubbed the back of her neck, "Is he really?"
Stacy nodded and opened the door and looked at Jennifer, "Now or never" was all she said before pushing Jennifer into the room and shutting the door. Jennifer looked around and noticed that no one saw her come in, she gulped and slowly walked towards Randy.
The closer she got, the more nervous she became; before she knew it, she was standing right behind Randy, who didn't notice her presence and was still lifting weights.
Jennifer took a deep breath and lifted her hand, which was shaking, and lightly tapped him on the shoulder. She took a step back and saw as Randy put down the weights and turned around with a pissed off expression at whoever interrupted his workout. When he saw Jennifer standing there instead, his gazed softened.
Jennifer gave a small smiled and said, "Hi."
Randy didn't respond, he just looked at her with a blank expression on his face. Jennifer looked down and said softly, "Um-Can we-talk?"
Randy looked at her for a moment before nodding and standing up. Jennifer followed Randy as they headed into a separate room inside the gym. When they got into the room, Randy shut the door and turned to her. Jennifer licked her lips and started to speak, she had planned what she was going to say earlier, but when she saw him, the words faded away so now she didn't know what words to use.
Randy crossed his arms and said, "Are you gonna talk or what?"
Jennifer exhaled before speaking, "Look, I owe you an explanation-"
"Damn right you do, that's the least you owe me," Randy said.
Jennifer looked away and tried to organize her words, "I'm sorry that I didn't tell you I had a boyfriend and that I-"
"Lead me on?" Randy finished coldly.
Jennifer looked at Randy, "I didn't lead you on Randy," she said.
"Tell me, do you always try to be a tease to other guys or do you only act that way to get attention?", Randy asked bitterly.
Jennifer sighed in frustration and said, "Look I came here to say sorry, I don't wanna have another argument with you!"
"I don't want a fucking apology Jennifer, I want to know why" Randy said loudly as he sat down on a chair.
"Why what?" asked Jennifer as she sat down beside him.
"Why didn't you just tell me you had a boyfriend before I made a fool out of myself," Randy asked as he put his head in his hands.
Jennifer looked down as he said that, she felt even worse now, why didn't she tell him?
Randy looked up at Jennifer, "You must think I'm the most stupid guy in the world huh? Putting myself out like that."
Jennifer looked at him and said, "I don't think you're stupid Randy, I'm the one that was stupid for not telling you. At least you were honest with your feelings."
Randy let out a sarcastic laugh, "Yeah, Now I know never to do that again."
"Randy I'm-"
Randy held up his hand, "Please-don't Jennifer. Look this was a bad idea, I'm gonna just leave." He stood up to leave but Jennifer got up and grabbed his arm.
"Randy please-" she started to say.
"Jennifer stop! I already feel stupid for being open with my feelings, don't rub in it by feeling sorry for me," Randy said loudly.
Randy left the room, slamming the door. Jennifer slid down to the chair and started to cry. Why was she feeling so strongly on this situation?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Randy walked out of the gym in a huff, he started down the hall but was stopped by Stacy.
"How did it go?" she asked.
Randy just looked at her and said, "What do you think? I'm so fucking tired of her bullshit!"
"Did you give her a chance to explain herself?" Stacy asked.
"Explain what Stacy?" Randy yelled as he threw a water bottle at the wall.
"Look I know she was wrong in not telling you about her boyfriend but I can tell by the way she was acting today that she really feels bad," Stacy tried to convince him.
"Feel Bad? Stacy she felt sorry for me! I don't have time for this, and I don't need your or especially her sympathy!" Randy said as he walked away.
"Don't have fucking time? Randy the main reason why you're so pissed is because you can't have her the way you want!" Stacy yelled after him.
Randy turned around and looked at Stacy as she continued, "Look I know you care about her but you gotta respect the fact that she does have a boyfriend! All she wanted was to be your friend, is that so hard?" Stacy said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
During RAW:
Jennifer sat down and watched the monitor as she saw Randy in the ring. She hadn't seen him at all since their conversation earlier that day.
Stacy came in and saw Jennifer stare at the TV, she had a sad expression on her face as she watched Randy. "I'm sorry things didn't go the way you planned," Stacy said as she sat down beside Jennifer.
Jennifer turned to her and weakly smiled, "It's okay, maybe were just meant to hate each other," she said.
"Jennifer, are you sure you don't feel something for him?" Stacy asked.
Jennifer looked down and shrugged, "I honestly don't know--you were right with what you said yesterday, Danny wouldn't ever do what Randy did for me."
Stacy bit her lip and asked, "What's the deal with you and Danny?"
Jennifer sighed and turned to face Stacy, "Well, we've been dating for 3 years, and at first things were great, I mean he was the sweetest guy any girl could ask for, then the longer we went out, we started to have problems and when my mother died recently, he wasn't there for me, the time when I needed him the most and he wasn't there at all. So I guess that was the last straw for me, I had taken his bull long enough so I left and told him I needed to rethink our relationship and that's where I am right now."
"Have you come to a conclusion?" Stacy asked.
"I don't know right now, I'm at a crossroad now. I mean Danny is someone that I know, I mean he's something I'm familiar with and Randy -- well he's the direction that is totally unfamiliar with me, ya know?", Jennifer said.
"And you are used to taking the most familiar route." Stacy finished.
Jennifer nodded, "Yeah, All my life has been so straight forward and right now, I have a choice to take a risk into the unknown, I mean Randy is so unpredictable, you just-can't figure him out."
Stacy nodded in understanding, "Well you know what choice to make then,"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jennifer waited by the arena doors an hour after RAW ended, she was waiting for Michael. She sighed and picked at her nails when someone said, "Hey."
Jennifer turned to see Randy standing there with his bags on his shoulder, she looked at him and said, "Hey."
Randy walked up in front of her and said, "Um-Michael said that he was gonna be here for a little while longer and I told him that I would give you a ride if you didn't want to wait."
Jennifer looked at him for a moment before saying, "Okay, I'll go with you".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The two sat in the car as Randy pulled out of the parking lot, Jennifer sighed and laughed softly.
Randy looked over at her and said, "What's so funny?"
Jennifer looked at him and said, "Everytime were in a car together, something big happens."
Randy smiled as he looked at the road, "Yeah, our best conversations are in a car."
Jennifer smiled, "Yeah, so you wanna talk?"
Randy nodded and said, "Sure why not? Look I'm sorry for being an ass earlier, I guess just seeing you again brought back memories of the other night."
"Don't apologize Randy, I'm sorry for everything I've put you through in the past couple of days, I was being very selfish." Jennifer said.
"I was being selfish too, I mean I'm used to having girls flock at me and you're the first girl that I've really liked and you didn't return those feelings, I guess I was mad that I didn't get my way," Randy said.
"Randy, I do like you-but as a friend ya know?" Jennifer said.
Randy sighed and said, "Yeah, I guess I'll just have to deal with just being friends."
Jennifer smiled and said, "By the way, thanks for the Easter present, it was really sweet of you."
"Ya you better feel special because I never do that," Randy said. Jennifer laughed and leaned back on the seat, things were looking up already.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tuesday in Texas:
Jennifer took a deep breath as she knocked on the door, she waited patiently and nervously fiddled with the hem of her shirt.
The door opened to reveal a tall guy with spiked-blond hair and green eyes, he looked down at Jennifer and smiled, "Hey Jenny, come on in."
Jennifer sighed and stepped into the house she had been in thousands of times in the past three years, she looked around and noticed that it still looked the same as the day she left it. The guy led her into the living room, which was darkened by the blinds that were down.
Jennifer sat down and turned to the guy, "Let's get this over with Danny."
Danny looked over at her and took her hands into his, "I've missed you so much baby, I haven't slept at all without thinking of you."
"Danny," Jennifer said as she interrupted him, "we both know that were at the end of the rope here, I can't keep on like this. I need someone who's gonna be there for me."
Danny stood up and paced in front of her, Jennifer grew nervous and hoped that he wasn't gonna do what she thought. "Jennifer I've been there for you, how can you claim that I've never been there over one little incident where I had no control over," Danny reasoned.
Jennifer stood up angrily and said, "A little incident? Danny my mother died! Okay! I needed you with me and where were you? In frickin New York doing God knows what!"
Danny stood in front of her said said calmly, "Jennifer I had to go! It was my job! I tried to get off but it was very important that I went!"
Jennifer crossed her arms, "More important than me?"
"Baby you know that's not true! I love you; you're the most important thing in my life!" Danny said.
"Danny I'm tired of this! All of you're excuses, your lies--I'm sick of it! I've wasted the past two years trying to make this relationship work but face it, it was over after a year! The past two have been nothing but us fighting and you-"
"Don't you dare say it! I told you I wouldn't ever do that again!" Danny said.
"Danny you've been saying that since the first time you did it!" Jennifer yelled.
"It's your fault you know? If you would just fucking listen to me and do what I said then I wouldn't fucking have to be that way would I?" Danny said, getting louder with everyword.
"I'm not going to be a doormat for you anymore Danny, Were over! For Good!", Jennifer yelled before walking quickly to the door.
Danny had fire in his eyes as he watched Jennifer getting ready to leave, he quickly ran to the door and slammed it shut just as Jennifer opened it to leave.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Later that night:
Jennifer was in the bathroom getting ready for bed when there was a knock on the door, "Come in!" she yelled.
The door opened and Jennifer walked out of the bathroom to see who it was, Rebecca was standing in the room with a medium sized box in her hands. Jennifer walked over to Rebecca and took the box from her and said, "What's this?"
Rebecca replied, "Um the movers came and dropped it off here, they said it was your mother's personal items."
Jennifer nodded and sat down on the bed and stared at the box. "So how was your visit to Danny's?" asked Rebecca.
Jennifer shrugged and said, "It was fine, we worked out everything."
Rebecca looked confused as she said, "You guys back together?"
Jennifer nodded. "But I thought you were going to end it?" Rebecca said.
"We decided to give it another try," Jennifer shortly replied. Rebecca shrugged and said, "Well that's good, I'll leave you alone now, Good night," she shut the door.
Jennifer starred at the box for a few minutes before finally opening it, she sat crossed legged on the bed as she carefully took out the items. First she took out a jewelry box, she opened it and it had all of her mom's jewelry.
She closed the box and put it beside her and took out several pictures, the first one was the last picture of her and her Mom that was taken just two days before she died. Jennifer felt tears come to her eyes and she looked at the next picture, it was one of her Mom alone, she was standing in front of a pier that was overlooking the ocean, Jennifer remembered that it was taken when they were on vacation in Myrtle Beach the summer before.
She continued to look through various pictures of her Mom from when she was little to the pictures of herself. The last picture made tears stream down her face, it was a family picture of her Mom, dad, and herself when she was just five. It was the only family picture of them because shortly after she had turned six, her father was killed in a car accident. Jennifer wiped the tears from her eyes as she looked into the box, she grabbed a book from the box and noticed that a pile of letters fell out of the book.
Curious, Jennifer picked up the pile and untied the pink ribbon that held it together. She took the first letter on the pile and opened it, she looked at the hand writing and noticed that it wasn't her mothers, she started to read it and all of a sudden, Jennifer let out a loud cry and placed her hand over her mouth, tears streaming down her face.She dropped the letter like it was infected and she shoved the letter and the box off the bed. She sat on the bed in shock as she looked at the discarded items on the floor, Her mother would never do that....right?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Jennifer starred at the box for a few minutes before finally opening it, she sat crossed legged on the bed as she carefully took out the items. First she took out a jewelry box, she opened it and it had all of her mom's jewelry.
She closed the box and put it beside her and took out several pictures, the first one was the last picture of her and her Mom that was taken just two days before she died. Jennifer felt tears come to her eyes and she looked at the next picture, it was one of her Mom alone, she was standing in front of a pier that was overlooking the ocean, Jennifer remembered that it was taken when they were on vacation in Myrtle Beach the summer before.
She continued to look through various pictures of her Mom from when she was little to the pictures of herself. The last picture made tears stream down her face, it was a family picture of her Mom, dad, and herself when she was just five. It was the only family picture of them because shortly after she had turned six, her father was killed in a car accident. Jennifer wiped the tears from her eyes as she looked into the box, she grabbed a book from the box and noticed that a pile of letters fell out of the book.
Curious, Jennifer picked up the pile and untied the pink ribbon that held it together. She took the first letter on the pile and opened it, she looked at the hand writing and noticed that it wasn't her mothers, she started to read it and all of a sudden, Jennifer let out a loud cry and placed her hand over her mouth, tears streaming down her face.She dropped the letter like it was infected and she shoved the letter and the box off the bed. She sat on the bed in shock as she looked at the discarded items on the floor, Her mother would never do that....right?
