Better Life
Chapter 2
Emma Nash stretched her back as she shifted on the leather couch she was currently lying on. With a casual eye she followed her father's movements through the locker room. She rolled her eyes at his angry pace. Eric Bischoff had just informed him that no, he and Shawn Michaels wouldn't get their rematch against Triple H and Batista. 'Big surprise there,' Emma thought and shook her head. She'd never truly understand the emotion behind the wrestling. To her it was just a bunch of greased up wrestlers fighting each other—not the worst or best thing to watch. It was fun to tag along with the crew, though. They were mostly cool guys with a few rotten apples. Thinking about it, Emma supposed that there were only a few of those guys.
Half of them being in Evolution. Emma sighed at the thought of the group which led immediately to Randy Orton. She had been traveling with her father for a while and Randy hadn't in the least noticed her, but she'd definitely noticed him. 'Monster ass crush,' Emma thought to herself with a smile. Her smile dissolved slightly as she thought on. It had been hard to watch him from afar instead of just talking to him—her father would kill her—and it had begun to feel sort of…stalker-ish. So, last night, she had done something about it. And okay, it wasn't the most moral thing she could've done and it generally fell short of her moral standards, but she wasn't going to say that she didn't enjoy having a one night stand with Randy Orton.
'If it's meant to be, then he'll come for me,' Emma told herself. She was a hopeless romantic at heart. And besides, what good did it do to wallow in the can't-haves? At least if Randy stayed with Evolution she could remember that night they'd spent together.
"Are you listening to a word I'm saying?" Kevin Nash looked at his daughter sharply. She snapped out of her daydreaming phase and looked at him.
"Sure, Dad," she replied and rolled her eyes at the stormy look on his face. "Dad, calm down. I love you to death, but you overplay this whole Evolution thing. I mean, seriously, you don't have to go into the whole history of them. I know I should stay away from them." 'Yup, I know I should stay away from them. I just didn't listen.'
Kevin rolled his eyes. "I'm going to go and meet with Shawn about our match against the Dudleys tonight. Stay here," he ordered.
"What if I want to get some water?" Emma asked innocently, picking at her fingernails.
Kevin rolled his eyes. "Don't be a smart-ass, young lady," he told her.
Ten minutes after the door had clicked shut Emma stood up and headed for the door. After all, he hadn't said no when she asked him about the water.
Emma hummed softly to herself as she held the button down on the coffee machine. The water machine had been sold out and coffee tasted better anyway, even if it was bad for your teeth. The redhead rolled her eyes at her dad's common reminder and started to walk back toward the locker room, only to run into a broad chest, nearly spilling her coffee.
"Oh jeez I'm sorry," she apologized, the words dying on her lips when she looked up and saw Triple H standing in front of her. She tensed when she saw Batista, Ric Flair and Randy Orton surrounding her. Emma was careful not to let her eyes linger on Randy and instead snapped them back to Hunter. "Can you please move, Hunter?" she asked, not a drop of sarcasm in her voice. "I really need to get back to my locker room."
"Or your daddy will hurt you?" Hunter prompted and Emma sighed, setting her hand on her hip.
"Hunter, please. Whatever the heck you and my father are arguing about now has nothing to do with me," she moved to squeeze past, but Hunter grabbed her arm and pushed her back. He stepped closer to her, grabbing her shoulder tightly. "Let go of me," Emma said, her voice dropping several decibels.
"I don't think I will," Hunter said, his eyes narrowing. "You see, you're going to come with us now and you're going to help us destroy Shawn Michaels and your father."
Emma's eyes hardened. "And you're not going to be able to have children if you don't let me go," she hissed.
"I'm threatened…I really am," Hunter said sarcastically and Emma's face scrunched up in a scowl.
"You asked for it," she said and faked a kick to his groin. Hunter immediately crouched down to protect the area and let go of her shoulder. Emma ripped the lid off of her coffee and threw it at Hunter, drenching him in blistering hot coffee. Emma darted away just beyond Batista's reach and sprinted until she had reached the locker room; Hunter's angry cries far from her ears. She opened the door and stepped in, relieved. Her relief, however, only lasted a few minutes.
"Where the hell have you been, Emma?!" her father's angry voice boomed. Emma sighed heavily.
It was going to be a long day.

patricia--I'm really glad you took your time to pointlessly insult me. Out of all of the reviews, yours was by far the funniest. Firstly, I really don't care what anyone thinks of me and even if I did your opinion would be completely worthless because you don't even know me. If you think the story "sucks ass" then don't review; if you think there's something to improve on, tell me. But thank you for making me laugh. It really brightened my day. :)
