Chapter 25
Mandy's POV
Going back to work was hectic right from the first day. I was in the hallway stretching when Paul walked up to me and asked to talk to me. I said yes and he took my hand leading me into the green room, which was occupied by only a few other people. We sat down on the couch and asked him what was up.
"Did you really have a miscarriage?" He asked looking directly into my eyes. I gasped a little, shocked at how he had found out such information. Sadly, I shook my head yes.
"This is true," I said, my voice cracking a bit. I could almost see his heart drop. He looked away from me for a moment.
"Jericho," He stated shaking his head, "Jericho was the father." I started shaking my head no in protest.
"Its not what you think, Jericho had nothing..." I tried to explain but he would hear any of it.
"Ya know, I always felt like there was something between us, but I didn't pursue anything because I knew that you belonged to Adam. I never would have thought you overlook both of us for the likes of Jericho. Hell I even thought you hated each other. I see now that I was wrong," He announced as he got up and walked away from me.
"Paul," I stopped him. He turned around and looked at me in acknowledgement. "Where did you get this information?" I asked.
"The internet teaches you a lot," He responded before leaving for real. I made my way back to my locker room to find Jay sitting on my couch.
"Have fun on holiday with Chris?" he asked.
"What is that supposed to mean?" I questioned defensively.
"What is going on Mandy? I can see how different things are with you and him now. I heard you two were either together or on the phone with each other the entire time you were out. Adam said you wouldn't even touch him while he was with you," Jay explained.
"Jay, I suggest you just stop now because you honestly don't know half of it," I announced.
"Well then why don't you tell me? I thought we were friends," He started.
"We are, I am going through a really rough time right now and its something that only Chris can help me with." I stated. He came over to me and hugged me.
"If we are friends than you can talk to me about it. It scares me that you are confiding in Jericho about something if it is that important. I know you hated him. I'd like to know what happened, but I can see you aren't ready to tell me yet. I wish you would tell Adam though because he misses you. As your friend I feel compelled to tell you that Adam thinks something is up with you and Jericho and I can't totally disagree with him, with reading the internet rumors and all."
"Jay, I have never been pregnant with Jericho's child."
"Well, I'm leaving. I have a match to get ready for. I left you some more of my story to read when you get a chance. Adam wants you to call him. Smackdown is gonna be near us soon, I'm sure he wants to make plans to get together." Jay explained. He walked out of my room and I stared down at the stack of papers in front of me.
