Chapter 4
- -2 Year Later- -
Walking into an arena for the first time since the surgery…Alyssa looked around…everything seemed different…not because she had a heart transplant 24 months ago, but because if she wouldn't of had it…she wouldn't have been standing there.
Dressed in a red t-shirt, jeans and sneakers…her long waist length brunette hair that was an unruly spiral curl mess…she had her backpack slung over her right shoulder…Paul had fussed about carrying it…he kept trying to do it for her. Aly finally had to put her foot down and jerk it from him. She wasn't broken and would be damned if she was gonna let her own brother treat her that way.
She knew he was just trying to help…but it was her turn to just live.
Alyssa was 21 now. She'd be 22 in a few months. She walked into her office and saw she already had charts on the new wrestlers, who'd come to the company while she was out…there were very many. The companies had split into two entities, Raw and Smackdown. Paul had spoken to Vince…Stephanie's father and had him keep Alyssa at Raw…Just incase.
Alyssa set up her laptop, when there was a knock on the door, she pulled the stool up and sat on it as she said, "C'mon in, it's you're quarter." Paul walked in with a tall gentleman, who had on a grey suit like Paul's. Aly looked over and said, "Lemme guess big bro, a fan right?"
Paul smirked and said, "No…this is the newest member of Ric, Dave and My new group Evolution. This is Randy Orton. Kid this is my little sister Alyssa." Aly stuck her hand out as Randy gripped it gently...she said, "Just call my Aly…I don't mind." Randy nodded…He told Paul he'd be down in the gym…and smiled at Aly and said, "It was nice meeting you." As he walked out.
When Alyssa saw that smile, her heart started fluttering…and Paul noticed her breathing change…He touched her arm and said, "You ok?" Aly smiled and said, "Yea…whatever it was it didn't hurt."
Before Paul left the room, Aly said, "Look Paul, Don't go telling everyone about my surgery…it's no one's business but mine." Paul said, "That and plus you don't want everyone treating you like you're made of glass." Aly nodded and gave Paul a kiss on the cheek and said, "Have a good night…Tell Randy when he gets a minute to come back and let me get his stats." Paul said, "Okay…you need anything call my cell."
Aly saluted Paul and said, "Yes Captain Ant Eater." As she turned to do her work.
Paul couldn't help but laugh at his sisters antics. Paul went ahead and sent Randy back to her office, before he got too far into his work out for the night.
Randy walked back into Alyssa's office and said, "Paul said you wanted to get my stats?" Aly nodded and sipped on a bottle of water, and said, "Yea…go ahead and have a seat…I'm gonna be asking a few hundred questions."
Randy smirked and Alyssa nearly fell off the stool. She started asking him a series of questions, which Vince always wanted, answered, no matter what. Emergency contacts, married, kids…the whole 9 yards. Alyssa got to the biggie question and said, "Are you married?"
Randy looked at the floor and tried to avoid the question. Aly said, "Randy…Are you married?" Randy said, "I was…But she died a couple of years ago…Car accident, drunk driver t-boned her car." Aly saddened and said, "I'm sorry to hear that…Have you talked with anyone about?" Randy shook his head no.
Alyssa took his hand and said, "Listen…I know I just met you and my word probably doesn't mean shit to you right now…I'll tell you right now…I'm a good listener…so if it ever becomes too much…Say the word and well find some off the wall place to go and talk. I've been though a lot in the last 6 years…Maybe having someone to talk to would help…I know it can't be easy losing someone you loved…Paul and My parents died when I was 17…it was hard…but Paul raised me…I know losing your parents and losing a life partner isn't the same."
Randy said, "Are we finished?" Alyssa nodded and he said, "Thanks for the offer. See ya around." Aly said, "Okay."
