Candice woke up late the next morning. She groaned as she turned over and saw the numbers 9:31 flashing at her in bright red. She pulled herself up and walked into the bathroom. She sighed as she looked at herself in the mirror. Her curls were flatend and she had mascara streaks all down her face. She was still wearing yesturdays make-up and she looked awful. She washed her face and brushed her teeth while wondering what she could do about Ken. But in reality she knew there was nothing she could do. Her marriage was at breaking point and she had no idea of who she could confide in. Sure Torrie had been a great friend to her, so had Victoria but did she really want them to think she couldn't even keep the man she loved. Victoria was sucessful at her job and had no problem finding guys, Torrie was happily married. What did Candice have? She was considered T'n'A in her business and most guys were intimidated by her. She walked over to her closet and pulled out a pair of jeans and a plain white tee-shirt. She was only going for breakfast with the girls and she really didn't feel like dressing up. She got out her straighteners and went over her hair not wanting to look a total mess. She quickly applied some make-up and stared at her relflection. Not the glamourous girl she was on tv but it was an improvment from flat hair and a tear streaked face. As soon as she was ready she stood up and grabbed her purse from a chair. She left the room and headed down the hallway towards the elevator. She stood impatiently waiting for the doors to open. She sighed and looked at her watch while tapping her foot on the plush red carpet. Finally the doors opend and she walked inside. She pressed the button to go down. Just as the doors were closing a hand stopped them. Candice looked up to see Trish and Ashley walk inside. She rolled her pretty brown eyes but kept her mouth shut. She saw Ashley giving her evils out of the corner of her eye. Candice raised a perfectly plucked eyebrow at her.
"Can i help you?" she asked
"Well well well if it isn't raw's biggest slut" Ashley said with a smirk.
"Now now Ashley i thought you and Trish were friends" Candice retorted.
Trish stepped forward trying to back Candice into the corner. Candice didn't move she looked down at Trish with a completly blank expression on her face. Trish stared at her trying to figure out if she had intimidated her or not.
"You know what Miss Go you need to watch what you're saying. If you don't you're gonna regret it" Trish warned her.
Candice smirked and examined her nails. She looked back up at the two blonde diva's.
"If you girls have a problem then sort it out in the ring. I'm not on a show right now, i don't have to follow some script. I'm a busy person with a life. So if you'll excuse me i have things to do and friends to see." she told them as she pushed past them and walked out of the elevator as the doors opend.
Ashley and Trish stood scowling as the doors closed again and they headed to their floor. Candice yawned and tried to wake herself up. She headed towards the hotel restaurant. She scanned the room until she spotted Torrie and Victoria sitting at a table. Both of the were looking at the menu already. Candice started to walk over to them when someone bashed straight into her. Candice hit the ground with a thud. She looked up and scowled at the person who had knocked her down.
"Candice i'm sorry, i was watching, and i'm really sorry" Shane Helms blurted out quickly.
He offered Candice a hand to help her up but she pushed it away.
"I don't need your help" she informed him as she stood up. "Next time watch what you're doing!"
"I said i was sorry" he said
Candice narrowed her eyes "Whatever go rejoin your 'superhero' friends" she told him before storming off towards her friends.
Torrie and Victoria looked up with a smile as Candice sat down at the table. She smoothed out the white linen table cloth and drummed her fingers on the table. Candice then picked up a breakfast menu and began to flick through it.
"Honey are you ok?" asked Torrie "I can't believe that loser didn't watch where he was going!"
"I'm fine" Candice told her.
"Wow i'm loving his green hair!" exclaimed Victoria
"Really?" Torrie asked in shock.
"Of course not" laughed Victoria "It's called sarcasm"
"God he is such a freak and just look who he hangs about with, that fat ass rosey and Matt Hardy" Torrie said with obvious disgust in her voice.
Candice just remained silent while her friends began to bitch about the entire raw roster. Not that Candice liked half the people on the show but she didn't like to bad mouth them all. She was already feeling bad about how she spoke to Shane. She may not like the guy and she may have thought he was a loser but that was no excuse for her to be rude. Everything was such a mess. She knew she was going to have to tell people what had happend soon but she was dreading it. Torrie, Victoria and Candice weren't exactly popular with everyone else on the show but that didn't really bother them. Candice knew as soon as her news got out all the people that hated her like Trish and Ashley were going to start on her. Candice had an image to up hold. She was the sexy confident diva who can get any mans attention. How would that work when everyone found out she couldn't keep her marriage together? She ordered her breakfast and decided to wait until tomorrow before breaking the news. That way she would have longer to think about how she was going to do it.
