Chapter 13
Reaching over I picked up and smiled lovingly at the new bell that John had placed in my room to get his attention. When I asked him why he was doing so much for me, he said something about feeling like it was somewhat his fault I got hurt, that he was a professional and he probably could have kept it from happening. I've tried over and over to let him know it was an accident, but he didn't listen. Amy said last night she believes it might be that he cares for me, but I don't know where she'd get that from, as far as I know these guys are just my friends... nothing romantic... except the kiss from Mark and well, I'm trying to forget about that. Hell other than that I have felt like the pesky little sister... Amy said she's grown accustomed to that feeling and that I should enjoy it cause they are going to enjoy bothering me just as much as I do them.
"Hey Cheyenne?!" Marti hollered through the house.
"WHAT!"
"Hobble your sorry butt down here, I need someone to take a ride with me." He called back.
"Where you whisking me off too?" I asked using my crutches to get me through the house.
"We got to drop a few people off at the airport and pick up a new group, Vince called this morning said he needs some of his superstars back... C'mon hurry it up." Marti laughed at me holding the crutches in one hand and hopping my way down the stairs. "You're like this slow bunny." he joked.
I gave him the meanest eye I could and held his gaze, "Yuck it up funny man, but your mine when this cast comes off." I growled.
"Did she just growl at you?" Matt Hardy asked with a chuckle as he worked his way past us in the hall.
Marti nodded with a roll of his eyes and started to laugh, "Yep... She tends to do that when someone has crossed this imaginary line she's set up."
"Well, if I didn't have men always crossing that line I would have never learned to growl." I stated between clenched teeth.
"You ought to see her when her ass hits the toilet water!" Jeff added throwing his bag over his shoulder.
My eyes went wide, "Wait a minute you look like you're going somewhere." I stated tugging on his bag.
"Cheyenne, please start making your way to the van." Marti said sounding annoyed, "We'll talk about what's going on while we drive, the plane lands in less than forty-five minutes."
Marti and Jeff walked with me as I made my way outside for the first time since the accident, two days to be exact. Shawn, Glen, Shane and John were already loaded up and gave loud cheers at seeing me making my way across the driveway.
"You were right John, SHE LIVES!" Shawn stated making everyone laugh, including me.
"Seeing us off?" Glen asked sliding over so I could climb in next to him.
Glen took my crutches and helped me hop into the van, then he leaned down and lifted my hurt foot into his lap as the rest of the men got settled for the trip into town. Looking at their faces I could tell they were anxious to get back to work and seemed excited to be getting out of the country.
"So, what's up?" I asked hitting Marti's arm while he drove.
"Don't hit a man while he's driving!" Glen barked with a laugh swatting my hand away so I couldn't hit him again.
John's face came up over the back of my seat, "I can't take care of you anymore." he sniffed.
I laughed, "You mean I can't beat you up no more."
He nodded with a pout on his lips, and we laughed.
"And Jeff why is it that you look like your going somewhere?" I asked, as far as I knew he wasn't on the roster for WWE anymore.
Jeff turned from his seat in the front of the van, "I talked with Vince and JR and we are going to try and work me in somewhere, for now I'll be doing Velocity and Heat until they get me back in on a storyline."
There goes my family... and I was so getting used to having all these guys around. Each one of them had a quality that made me just love them to pieces and now I know I'm going to miss them like I would my own brother. Jeff and I had shared a lot of laughs and fun times playing around with the ATVs and just talking... Shawn was like my older brother that made me do things that I didn't want to do, but insisted that I would feel better once I did... I never could understand how he was always right. He spent a lot of time getting to know me and making me feel comfortable in my surroundings. Shane was like the twin brother that was over shadowed by his sister... never saying much just being around just in case he was needed. Glen the intellectual one that always had a wise crack and ALWAYS pointed it out to everyone when you did something stupid, but his large frame and warm laugh made him like a teddy bear in my eyes. Oh how I'd grown to love our long debates about absolutely nothing. Then there was John, sweet John... I have gotten more attached to him in the last few days than I had any of the guys. He had this uncanny way of breaking the monotony of a situation and making you laugh hysterically. Then there is the sweet, nurturing man that has taken care of my every whim and he didn't even bat an eye when he had to help me in and out of the shower naked, and trust me I was watching to make sure. From the moment I went down in the ring and he scooped me up and walked me into the garage, I feel like my feet still haven't touched the ground. When I started feeling sorry for myself he made me feel good and when I was ready to give up, he gave me a reason to keep going...
The van pulled up in front of the airport and they spoke with security and they told us to pull around to the side where the private jet had landed and was waiting. Slowly we crept around the building until the black WWE plane was in full view and I began to feel the tears in my eyes as they piled out of the van. Getting out of the van myself I watched as one by one they grabbed their bags and headed for me.
"You stay sweet, and keep Marti on his toes." Shawn smiled placing a kiss to my cheek, "I'll see you in a few weeks."
"Thanks Shawn, call me anytime." I said hugging his neck.
"You be good." Shane said hugging me, "I don't want to hear any horror stories while I'm away."
I wrapped my arms around his tiny waist, "Don't let them big boys do you in, just remember to run."
He laughed, "I'll remember that." Then, he made his way toward the plane were the new trainers were collecting their things.
"I'm going to miss you princess." Jeff said turning me to face him, "I told Amy and Matt to take good care of you..." he handed me a small piece of paper, "Call me anytime day or night, we need to get together and hang out."
"Thanks, Jeff." I replied kissing his cheek, "Don't get to anxious to get back in there, take your time and you are welcome at my house any day."
"Don't hog her!" John whined coming up behind Jeff and pushing him out of the way.
I laughed and felt the tears from both of them standing in front of me.
"Oh see there she goes." Jeff laughed, "You owe me five bucks, I told you there would be water works."
My face fell, "You shit-heads had a bet going on weather or not I would cry?!"
Both men nodded their heads vigorously and I took a crutch out from under my arm and made like I was going to go after them, but John gabbed me up in a hug before I could make my move.
"I'm really going to miss you baby girl." he sighed, "I'm definitely going to come back here when I get some time off and check on the happenings."
"What you don't trust that I can get it done?" I asked smiling warmly.
"Now, I didn't say that. You and Marti are two people that I have all the faith in the world in. Oh and before I forget, thank you so much for letting me help you with your shower..." His grin was that of a little boy with a naughty secret.
"If you don't get your ass on that plane and not tell a soul about you having seen me naked on a few occasions I will beat you down the next time I see you."
"He saw you naked?" Glen asked curiously as he walked up behind us.
I jumped and spun to see him with a gleam in his eye, "You already knew that though..."I said glaring at John, the evidence was showing in Glen's eyes.
"Chey, he was about to bust he had to tell someone." Glen laughed as John bee-lined it for the plane, "That boy really cares about you, princess." he said setting down his bags and enveloping me into a tender hug.
"I'm going to miss you big guy." I sighed.
"I'll be checking up on you... Oh, and don't give up on Mark just yet..." he started.
"Glen, please don't. Mark and I are friends no matter what... I haven't heard from him in a few days but he is a grown man with BIG responsibilities. He'll call when he's ready to hear me."
Glen smiled, "I gotta go... I have a feeling you'll be hearing from him soon." he announced walking backwards toward the plane, "I'll see you!"
I waved as he climbed on board and the door was pulled closed. My heart stopped beating in my chest as the plane began moving toward the runway... all five of the men that were leaving to go back to their lives had just taken a large piece of me with them.
