Chapter 14

Linda went about her schedule and when it came around for Randy to run in and be the hero and save her...she gritted her teeth and just let it happen...

A couple of weeks later, One night a few things changed. Randy was wrestling RVD and Rob threw him into the metal ring post...As much as Linda wanted to believe he was okay...She knew he wasn't...He had been knocked out and was out as they went to a commercial break...He finally shook it off but was pretty loopy the rest of the match...His head had been gashed open from the pole.

Linda didn't have a match that night...but she was still required to be there...She was sitting in the dressing room next to Lisa and Lisa said, "He's gonna be ok, ya know." Linda just nodded. Lisa said, "You could always go down and pretend to be a concerned co-worker...I imagine he'll need stitches." Linda said, "Yea...but I wouldn't be pretending."

Lisa laughed and said, "I'm sure he'll notice that...You guys need to talk...I found it's easy to talk to someone when they have a head injury...if he smiles and nods a lot...he's not paying attention and will agree to damn near anything."

Linda busted out laughing and said, "Jesus Lisa...I knew there was a reason we became friends so fast. You're exactly like me." Lisa squeezed Linda's shoulders and said, "Go on...You guys are long over due for a talk...It will do you both some good."

Linda nodded as she stood up and walked down to the trainers office. Along the way she grabbed a bottle of water and an ice pack. She pushed the door open to the trainers room and Eddie the head trainer was standing over Randy's prone body stitching him up...

Randy and him were talking...Eddie looked over and saw Linda standing there and said, "Hey Linda what's up?" Linda smiled a little and said, "Hey Eddie...I came to check on the genius...Is he going to live?" Eddie finished putting the last stitch in his head and said, "I'm afraid so...10 stitches...No brains leaked out...and he didn't lose too much blood...So yea he'll live."

Eddie said, "I'm going to run down to catering, if you need anything else Randy let me know." Randy sat up slowly and winced at the pain that shot through his head and said, "Thanks Eddie." Eddie left as the door closed behind him...Randy sat on the exam table as Linda walked over and busted the packet in the ice pack and mixed the solution up real good and said, "Here cold." As she put it against his forehead.

Randy squinted and said, "What are you doing here? You didn't have a match tonight." Linda said, "Yea well...Eric asked me to come incase Trish couldn't make it for her match...The Canadian border patrol have been giving her shit if she drives instead of flies...She hates flying almost as much as me..."

The silence in the room was deafening...Linda said, "Are you ok?" Randy said, "It's not the first time...It won't be the last." Linda ran a hand through her hair and said, "Do you want a lift back to the hotel?" Randy said, "Why are you really here Linda?" Linda sighed heavy...She said, "I was just concerned ok...I watched Rob knock you out and it scared me ok...Jesus...How could I possibly have an ulterior motive."

Randy said, "So you're here out of pity...Go back to your hotel and leave me alone...I don't want or need your pity Linda...I can take care of myself...I'm a big boy." Linda said, "I came in here to check on you...Why do you have to be such a jerk Randy? You can't just be nice when someone is concerned about you...you have to be a dick...Jesus no wonder we never fully worked out in high school or our marriage."

Randy said, "Yea...No wonder I went to other girls for a good fuck." Randy regretted his words once they came out of his mouth. Linda closed her eyes, trying to wish her way out of the arena...She felt like someone stabbed her heart with a red hot poker from a fire place...Linda opened her eyes and looked and Randy as she placed the bottle of water on the table next to Randy and in something above a whisper said, "Thanks for the reminder...Now I remember why I annulled the marriage."

Linda turned and walked out of the room.

Randy looked at the ice pack in his hand and yelled, "FUCK!" as he threw it against the wall as hard as he could and the plastic bag exploded...Way to go Randy...Let's just act like a fuckin dick some more.
