Ashley had left for California and although she had the money to get her own place she chose to live in an apartment with two other women. Laney was a proud Puerto Rican who looked kinda scary when they first met but after a while they had found common ground and became friends and Shannon or "Sha sha" as she liked to be called she was like the protective older sister two them both. She could still remember the day they had all met. Ashley walked into her new apartment Laney was sitting on the couch watching tv.
"Hey you must be the new girl" Laney said standing up. She was about 5'7 with shoulder length hair and brown eyes. She was wearing short shorts and a tank top with a bandanna on her head.
"Yeah my name is Ashley" she replied
"The name is Alaina but people call me Laney" she said
"Cool kinda like Eminem's niece right?" Ashley asked
"You like rap music?" Laney asked
"Yeah I listen to other stuff but I like rap" Ashley said
"So what is a rocker chick like you doing out here?" Laney asked looking at what Ashley was wearing.
"Well I'm from Massachusetts but I got accepted to Stanford so I moved out here" Ashley explained.
"So you are a smart rocker chick" Laney said crossing her arms over her chest. "well anyways lets just get a few rules down ok 1. Monday from 9 to 11 Raw is on you don't like wrestling the deal, 2. Rent is paid the first of the month every month and don't get behind because I don't feel like covering for your ass, 3. don't touch what ain't yours and we won't have a problem"
"That is fine and yes I do watch Raw" Ashley said
"So who is your favorite wrestler?" Laney asked
"Chris Benoit" she replied with a smile "yours?"
"John Cena duh man that boy is fine what I wouldn't do for a night alone with him" Laney replied
Ashley laughed a little she was used to this. "You do know that he has a girlfriend and from what I heard they are engaged" Ashley said
"I knew he had a girl but how do you know they are engaged?" Laney asked
"Very simple because he is my fiancée" Ashley replied
"Yeah right and I'm Princess Diana" Laney said
"I'm serious I met John a year ago when I was traveling with my cousin Matt" Ashley told her.
"Wait... no... you couldn't be" Laney said
"Yes I am Chris Benoit's daughter, yes Matt and Jeff Hardy are my cousins and yes I am that Ashley Harris"
"No freakin way you are live the envy of all my friends!" Laney exclaimed. "Hey Sha Sha come here"
"What do you want I'm on the phone" Shannon was about 5'5 with long chestnut brown hair. Ashley could tell she was a trust fund baby who was slumming it because she thought she had something to prove to whoever.
"You are not going to believe who our new roommate is" Laney said
"Who" Shannon asked
"John Cena's girlfriend Ashley Harris" Laney announced.
"Billy I'll call you back" Shannon said to the person on the phone. "no way are you really?"
"Yeah" Ashley replied with a shrug.
"But how you are nothing like what we pictured John's girlfriend to look like no offense but we thought you would be blonde and fake" Shannon said
"Yeah well then you should have met Kasey his last girlfriend she was everything you expected, me and John were friends for a year before we started dating and now we are engaged and have a 4 month old son Talon" Ashley said
"Ok we need pictures to prove it and let's see some id" Laney said
Ashley sighed and pulled out her wallet where she had pictures and her id.
"Happy now?" she asked
"Yeah baby girl welcome to the mad house as we like to call it" Laney said
That was over a month ago Shannon,Ashley and Laney became fast friends and everything was great. They'd go out and have fun and on Monday night they would stay home and watch Raw. Shannon along with Ashley went to Stanford and they would help each other with assignments which was cool at least Ashley wasn't alone. One night it was about 6 pm Ashley and Shannon were studying for an exam that they were going to have the following week the phone rang.
"Hello" Ashley answered
"Hey baby" John said.
A smile instantly appeared on Ashley's face. She missed John so much but she liked living with Sha Sha and Laney they made it more bearable.
"Hey Johnny what's up?" she asked jumping up on the counter. Shannon looked up when she heard John's name.
"Well baby girl I don't know how to tell you this but your mom... I mean aunt died" John said sadly.
"Are you serious?" Ashley asked
"Why would I lie about something like that?" John asked.
"I'll be on the next plane home" she said and then hung up. She sat there for a minute and then broke down.
"Ash what's the matter?" Shannon asked
"My mom just died" Ashley said in a shaky voice.
"I'm so sorry" Shannon said
"Thanks I'm going to go pack" Ashley said.
She was in a state of shock the woman who raised her for most of her life died and she hadn't even gotten to say goodbye sure part of her hated Deanna foe what she had done to her. But another part would always think of the woman as her mother. After she had packed and booked her plane she called her professors and told them she wouldn't be in class for a few days due to a death in the family. They understood and gave her the time off she needed.
"Don't worry about anything I'll get your assignments" Shannon said
"Thanks Sha Sha I don't know what I would do without you and Laney" Ashley said giving Shannon a hug.
"I know how you can repay us get that hottie of a fiancée of yours over here so we can drool over him in person" Shannon said.
"I'll try" Ashley replied. Shannon gave her another hug and then Ashley left. She was going back to her past one she wasn't sure she was ready for but she had to go back but luckily she had John with her now so it wouldn't be so hard.
Ok I would like to thank those people who reviewed the last chapter I just want you to know that I feel so much better now thanks. I'm so evil I killed her mother/aunt person but it was for a good reason. Next chapter John is in so forgive me.
