Chapter 2Aubrey was awakened from her thoughts as her brother stood up and cheered. She sighed and congratulated her brother. Elliott noticed she was a little tired and told the guys he was tired. That weekend Elliott finished the race eighth. A few more weeks flew by and the guys had an off weekend. Aubrey had gone to dinner at Elliott's the night before with his parents. The marriage question had again come up. It was then Aubrey knew she had to tell Elliott. She only prayed that he wouldn't leave her, but something inside of her told her he would. She knocked on his front door and waited for him to answer. When he did, he pulled her into his embrace causing all of her thoughts to momentarily leave as he kissed her.
"Hey baby. I didn't know you were coming over. I was fixing to be on my way to Emporia."
Aubrey nodded. He was going to his family's place in Emporia, Virginia, which was a four hour and thirty minute drive. He was going there while Aubrey spent it with her family.
"I know honey. But we really need to talk right now."
Elliott allowed her inside and sat next to her on his couch. He remembered Junior telling him that Aubrey would come to him with what was wrong when she was ready. He knew for her to wait this long it had to be something.
"Ok what's wrong Aubrey?"
"Elliott I want to talk to you about everyone's marriage questions. I know you've been thinking about that for awhile."
"Yes I have. I have a few ideas on a few surprises for you."
"I have your answer already."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Well?"
"Elliott I am not ready for marriage. I am almost twenty-five. I am not ready to settle down. I don't want you thinking that I don't love you or want to marry you. I do love you so much with my mind, body, heart, and soul. And someday I would love to be your wife. But I am not ready for marriage right now."
Aubrey watched as Elliott got up and began pacing. He then stopped and she barely heard what he said since his back was to her.
"Get out."
"What?"
"I said get out. I don't want you here anymore and I think we shouldn't be together anymore."
Aubrey sat in shock for a few minutes and then got up. She walked over to his door and then turned around.
"I have to say I'm not surprised. I knew this was going to happen when I told you how I felt. Junior however tried to defend you and say your weren't that kind of guy. Goodbye Elliott."
Aubrey headed to her house she shared with Martin Truex Jr, who drove for her brother in the Busch Series, and began to cry. She was thankful he wasn't home right now. She went and sat on her bedroom and grabbed her cordless phone. She dialed her stepmother Teresa's number. She smiled a little as her half sister Taylor answered.
"Hello?"
"Hey Tay…"
"Aubrey? Are you ok? Do you want to talk to mom?"
"If possible yes."
"Hello?"
"Hey Teresa. I just wanted to let you know I won't be coming over there today. I'm not feeling too well."
"Are you ok honey? Did you decide to go with Elliott instead?"
"No…Elliott broke up with me."
"Oh honey. I'm so sorry. You go ahead and stay home today. I'll tell everyone you aren't feeling well. You know your brother is going to see right through that though."
"I know. You can go ahead and tell him. Tell him to tell Truex. Just no one else ok?"
"Ok honey. Take care ok?"
"Ok. Bye."
Aubrey hung up the phone only to have it ring again. She looked at the caller ID and smiled. It was one of her best friends, Randy Orton.
"Hey you."
"What's wrong Aubrey?"
"What do you mean Randy?"
"I can hear your voice shaking."
"Elliott broke up with me because I wasn't ready for marriage and he was."
"Damn Aubrey."
"I know. I just wish I could get as far away from here as possible. But the only time I get away is at races."
"You could come visit me."
"Really?"
"Yeah…that was kind of why I was calling you."
"Knew you wanted something Orton."
"Ha ha Earnhardt."
"Ok seriously what do you want?"
"Well remember how I RKO'd Stacy?"
"Hell yeah. I was rewinding the hell outta my tape just to watch that shit again and again."
Randy laughed at her comment. He knew that Aubrey hated Stacy with a passion.
"Well now I don't have a valet now. I was wondering if you wanted your old job back. I need one for the show tonight and one for next Monday. Then I have Wrestlemania 21 and won't need a valet after that until I come back from surgery."
"Ok where are yall tonight?"
"Really? You'll do it?"
"Why not? I kind of miss everyone."
"Even me?"
"Especially you."
"We're in Vegas. There is a ticket waiting for you at the counter."
"You just knew I'd say yes didn't you?"
"How could you not? Look I need to call Bischoff now. I'll see you at the airport."
"Ok. Bye Randy."
"Bye Aubrey."
As Aubrey hung up her phone, she smiled a little. She was going to have her old job back somewhat. She had met Randy when he first started wrestling for the WWE. She had been going to shows when they'd be in Charlotte. She had expressed an interest in a career as a valet with Mr. McMahon when she met him for the first time. When Randy had been kicked out of Evolution she got her chance. Randy and Aubrey had become close friends and had kept in touch after Stacy Kiebler replaced her. She quickly began packing her bags and left a note for Martin. She looked over the note once she was finished.
Martin,
Hey buddy. Just wanted to let you know I won't be home again until tomorrow night. I am going to Vegas to valet for Randy. I'm sure by now you've heard the news. I'll have my cell phone on me except for when I have a promo to do or am down ringside. I am going to need someone to pick me up from the airport tomorrow night. So let me know if you or Junior can. Love ya. – Aubrey
PS – Tell my brother I'll call him later tonight after the show.
Aubrey then walked outside to not only her friend but also her brother's girlfriend, Mikayla's car. She was thankful her friend could get over to her house so quickly after she called her.
"Take care ok Aubs?"
"I will Kay-Kay. Watch over Junior for me ok? I know he's gonna want to kick Elliott's ass. Don't let him ok?"
"I'll try, but you know how he is. The fucker will probably wait til I fall asleep and then go over there."
"Very true. Talk to you later girl."
The two friends hugged and then Aubrey went through security to get to her gate. She had an hour until boarding. It seemed as soon as she sat down in one of the uncomfortable plastic chairs, her phone beeped signaling an alert. She saw her brother's name and hit the two-way button.
"Yes Junior?"
"Are you ok?"
"As can be expected."
"Want me to get the DMP and kick his ass?"
"I know whether I tell you yes or no, you'll make a special visit anyways."
"I'm so sorry AJ. I didn't think this would happen. You were right though."
"You know for the one time for me to be right instead of you…this wasn't what I had in mind."
"I know AJ. Me neither. So where are you?"
"The airport. Randy called me and asked me if I wanted to valet for him for the last two RAW's before Wrestlemania 21. He also told me to tell you that he is giving me some tickets for it for you. He could only get you four. I have my own ticket and pass so you get all four."
"Ok. Have a safe flight. Call me later ok?"
"I will. Tell Truex I left him a note on the fridge."
"Love you AJ."
"Love you too Junior."
Soon her flight was called and before Aubrey knew it she was making her way to baggage claim in Las Vegas, Nevada. She was about to grab her last bag, when she felt it being lifted ever so easily off of the belt. She turned around and came face to face with a disguised Randy Orton.
