Samaire stood in front of her mirror as she studied her reflection. Her previous nights make-up was smudged resulting in her having rather large panda eyes. Her black hair was close to resembling an abandoned birds nest rather then the intended pile of sexy curls. Simply put, her appearence resembled a train wreck, or that of a woman who's love life was a train wreck!
'How could I be so blind as to not see what was in front of me?' she thought, as she attempted to wipe away her smudged make-up. Giving up when it wouldn't budge, she grabbed a set of clean clothes and made her way to the shower.
As she entered the bathroom she spotted one of Austin's shirts laying on the floor. She felt a pang in her heart. She picked it up gently, it smelled so familiar and warm. It brought back memories of the happier times they had shared together.
'He couldn't have faked everything we shared - could he?' she wondered. Samaire shook her head and threw the shirt back on the floor. 'Yes, he did' she thought as she remembered back to the previous night - the most embarrassing night of her life. A single tear ran down her cheek. She swatted it away aggressively, refusing to let herself cry over that man anymore.
She undressed and stepped into the shower, letting the warm water run over her face. ' I need to tell AJ, I need to make this right' she thought as she scrubbed all the make-up off her face. She quickly washed her hair before stepping out of the shower. She grabbed her clothes - black long pants and a yellow t-shirt, got dressed and headed back to the bedroom.
She found her mobile phone and dialled AJ's number - but there was no answer. She unsuccessfully tried a couple more times before giving up in defeat. After thinking about it for a few minutes, Samaire decided to head around to the place AJ shared with Petey Williams while they were in town.
She found her favourite trainers, tied her damp hair in a rough ponytail, and managed to locate her car keys. She vaguely remembered the place by sight, she had been there once before for a BBQ to celebrate Petey's 23rd birthday. However to make sure she had the right place, Samaire found the card that AJ had given her during their first meeting at the hospital. She shoved it in her pocket and locked the house up.
Samaire pulled her black Holden Astra into the driveway. The house was a lowset brick place, and it appeared that it was all locked up. Samaire decided to knock on the front door anyway, but received no answer.
"Hey, you looking for Petey?" came a voice from the neighbouring yard.
A pretty blonde girl in her late teens was washing her car. Samaire made her way over.
"Ah, actually I'm looking for AJ, is he home?"
The blonde girl dropped her sponge with a loud squeal.
"Oh my god - Samaire Davis! I'm a huge fan of yours! Oh, wow, can I have your autograph?"
"Uh, sure" she replied as the girl climbed into her car to get a pen and notebook. She passed it to Samaire.
"Who should I make it out to?" Samaire questioned.
"Mia" the blonde replied excitedly.
Samaire signed the autograph and handed the pen and paper back to Mia.
"Oh wow, thank you. I love you and AJ together, you look so hot together" Mia said.
Samaire forced a grin onto her face.
"Thank you. Can you tell me if AJ is home?"
"Oh right. Uh no. He left with Petey about two hours ago" Mia replied "Petey was dressed pretty casual so I think they were probably going to the gym or something".
Samaire thought for a moment before it dawned on her - TNA's training school had wrestling classes on today - both AJ and Petey helped with the training.
"Thanks Mia" Samaire yelled as she ran back to her car.
As she drove towards the training school Samaire realised that there would be a good chance that she would run into Trinity if she went inside. Jerry had hired Trinity to help train the women in the class. She pulled her car into a parking space right out front of the door of the building. She switched the car off and debated whether she was actually ready to face the woman who ruined her life. She sat in the car for close to twenty minutes before raising enough courage to walk inside. She walked in and searched around the room before breathing a sigh of relief - Trinity was nowhere to be found. Samaire managed to locate Petey in the opposite corner of the room. He was in the ring with about ten students doing what appeared to be basic bump training. Samaire smiled at the fact that four of the students were women. She made her way over to the ring. Petey look relieved to see her.
"Thank god your here Samaire" Petey said before turning his attention back to his class.
"Okay, take five guys while I fill Miss Davis in on what we're doing".
Samaire looked at him, confused.
"Wow, she's a lot smaller in real life" Samaire heard one of the girls comment as they climbed out of the ring. "Yeah, and a lot hotter though" one of the guys said as he winked at her. Samaire smiled. Petey glared at the guy and pulled Samaire to one side.
"You sure your up for this?" Petey asked with a smile on his face. Samaire looked at him, still confused.
"Up for what? What's going on?"
Now it was Petey's turn to look confused.
"Uh, to help with the training? Arn't you here to take over from Trinity?"
Samaire looked at him in surprise.
"Why would I be taking over from Trinity?"
"Oh, you haven't heard? Trinity quit TNA - she's signed with the WWE"
Samaire looked at him in shock.
"What! Really? When?"
"From what I heard she phoned Jerry this morning - she had signed with the WWE about a week ago"
"What about Austin? - did he go too?"
Petey looked at Samaire, slightly confused.
"Why would Austin sighn with the WWE? What's he got to do with Trinity?"
Samaire sat down on a nearby chair.
"So AJ hasn't told you then" she muttered. Petey looked at her closely.
"AJ hasn't said anything to me today, Sam what's going on?" he asked as he sat down next to her. A tear slid down her cheek. Petey wiped it away and held her hand.
"Okay, long story short - Austin proposed to me last night, however when I went back to the lockerroom to show Trish and Traci the ring I walked in on him having sex with Trinity - he had been cheating on me"
Petey squeezed her hand gently "I'm sorrry Sam" he said.
"That's not all - AJ came around last night and we ended up sleeping together. I told him this morning it was a mistake, but I realise now that I don't think it was".
Petey watched her wipe away the tears that were threatening to spill down her face. 'So that's why AJ was upset this morning'.
"Petey do you have any idea where he is - I need to tell him it wasn't a mistake" Samaire pleaded.
Petey looked at her sad face.
"Sorry Sam - AJ's on a plane heading for Australia. He won't be back for a month".
