Chapter 2

Becki was dragged from her peaceful sleep by the sound of someone banging on her hotel room door. She glanced at the time, 10.30pm. As soon as she got to her room she removed her jacket and shoes then promptly dived onto the double bed and had fallen asleep. Slowly she stumbled to the door and opened it slightly.

"Hi again" John smiled at her

"Hi" Becki rubbed her eyes adjusting to the light from the hallway.

"Just wondered if you had anything to eat since you got here?"

"um no, I got here and fell asleep."

"I was just about to go and get something, wanna come?"

"Sure hang on" Becki grabbed her jacket and pulled in on quickly before turning on her light to find her hairbrush.

John watched her pull her jacket on, not before he had noticed the marks on her arms, he had wondered why she had winced when he touched her arm earlier, that explained it, he chose to say nothing, it wasn't his business. He watched as she stepped into her sneakers then asked

"ready?"

"yes" she smiled as she grabbed her bag and key card and followed him out the door.

They were sat in the hotel restaurant, John watched amused as the food disappeared from her plate.

"hungry?"

She nodded while popping another fry into her mouth.

"I feel like I haven't eaten for a week" she frowned "actually I haven't eaten much in the past week" her attention turned back to her plate.

"your not one of these girls that starves yourself are ya?"

"no, I like food! Although I've just eaten in one go what I would normally eat all day, these portions are huge!"

He laughed "Yeah I had noticed the servings in England are on the small side"

"no they're not!"

Smiling he replied "to you, no, but to me they are"

Her response was to eat more fries. As she ate Nick appeared at the table.

"Joanne asked me to give you this" he said placing a laptop on the table "it's a laptop"

John snorted "I think she knows that"

Nick scowled "I don't recall speaking to you"

"thank you" Becki said before John could answer

Becki smiled at John muttering to himself as Nick walked away, "Is he always like that?" she asked

"yeah, wait till he starts talking to you like your in pre-school"

"I think I can cope" she replied finishing the last of her fries

"I'm sure you will if I haven't already clocked him in the mouth before he gets to you"

"I thought Joanne said you were laid back?"

"I am it's just him, you finished?"

Becki reached over to Johns plate and stole a handful of fries, after she had eaten them she smiled and said "now am I"

John laughed "ok little miss hungry lets go"

Becki was lying on her hotel bed staring at the ceiling, it was now two in the morning and no matter how she tried she could not get to sleep. She thought about the last two weeks, only her family and best friend Melody knew where she had gone, they were shocked when she told them she had applied for a job in America and only Melody knew of her reasons for wanting to leave, she intended it to stay that way. She was disturbed by her cell phone ringing, reaching over to her bag on the floor she pulled the phone out and checked the caller id 'Dean calling..' she turned it off.

"YOU ARE AN ARROGANT, STUBBORN, STUPID NEANDERTHAL"

Becki opened her door to find Nick screaming at John, who was stood right outside her door with a smirk on his face. Other people were opening their doors too.

"I SHOULD HAVE NEVER TAKEN THE JOB TO BEGIN WITH, YOU'RE A THUG!" John just shrugged "YOU!" Nick pointed at Becki, he came charging down the hall till he was in front of her, "DON'T WORK FOR HIM, QUIT NOW, DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR"

Becki stood there stunned, all she had done was open her door to see who was shouting.

"LISTEN TO ME!" Nick grabbed her arms and shook her.

Becki yelped as he grabbed her, she didn't have chance to reply, John was no longer smirking and had pulled Nick away from her.

"Leave her alone" John said calmly as Joanne stormed down the hallway

"What is going on?" Joanne asked getting between John and Nick

"HE IS IMPOSSIBLE" Nick screamed

"Stop shouting right now!" Joanne ordered, she looked at John "what is going on?"

"I told him I wouldn't sign one of his sheets of paper as I didn't know what it was and he went all psycho on me"

Nick started screaming again about John being impossible and for Becki to quit.

"That's enough Nick! Go home your no longer needed here!"

Nick momentarily looked shocked then shouted "GOOD" and stormed off down the hall

Joanne glared at John as people started closing their doors now the shouting was over,

"what did you do? It's two am for gods sake"

"nothing, honest!"

It was then Joanne looked over to Becki "are you ok?"

Becki didn't reply at first, she noticed both John and Joanne looking at her right arm, she looked down and saw the blood seeping through the sleeve of her nightshirt.

"Becki your arm! Let me get……"

"I'm fine thank you" Becki promptly shut her door.

Chapter 3

A week had passed since the incident in the hotel. Becki had spent the rest of the week being trained by Joanne instead of Nick who had left the hotel that night, but not before he had torn up all the forms and contracts John had refused to sign and scattered them all over Johns hotel room. She hadn't seen John since that night and she wasn't in a rush to see him again considering she had slammed her door in his face. Joanne hadn't mentioned the incident, instead she chose to ask Becki if she was ok every time she walked into the room and Becki would catch her trying to get a glimpse of her arm, which was useless as she wore long sleeves all the time.

True to her word Joanne had found her somewhere to live. Becki had been surprised to find that it wasn't an apartment like she had first been told but a house in the country side of North Carolina. Not only had Joanne found her somewhere to live but had helped Becki find all the furniture she needed. Upon her arrival at the house yesterday Becki had been pleasantly surprised to find that it had all been delivered and set up ready for her, even a phone line and cable TV!

Smiling to herself Becki thought about Joanne 'she's been my saviour this past week, I'd have been lost without her.'

Becki had been given the week off to get unpacked and settled in to her new home, even though she wouldn't be spending a lot of time there.

All her possessions where still in boxes in the hallway, they had only just arrived and Becki was trying to find the energy to start unpacking it all. The phone rang.

"Hello"

"Hi remember me?"

Becky smiled as the voice continued "You know your best friend?"

"Hey"

"Hey? That's all you can say? You left me over a week ago to go and play with the yummy wrestlers, with only two, yes two, text messages as any sort of communication and all you can say is hey?"

Becki laughed "Mel! Breathe! I'm sorry I haven't been able to contact you more, as soon as I get a new mobile you will be the only person I will call!"

"you better!" Melody warned

"You know I will! Anyway anything interesting happen since I've been gone?"

"not interesting no! um…" she paused "Dean's been sniffing around though"

"well I knew he would! He doesn't know anything does he?"

"Not that I know of, he went to see your dad bu…."

"WHAT?"

Melody chuckled "Don't worry your dad made it very clear to him that if he asked anything about you again he would regret it!" Melody laughed "Honestly Bex I've never seen the guy move so fast, it was so funny"

Becki smiled she loved her Dad, so protective, she missed him already.

"Anyway which wrestler are you working for? Seeing as you wouldn't tell me via text!"

"John Cena" at the other end of the phone Melody nearly choked on her drink

"John Cena?"

"yeah"

"I hate you!"

Becki laughed "Jealous?"

"It's not fair! I'm the wrestling fan yet my best friend gets to be surrounded by all the wrestlers while I'm stuck here! I'm moving!" Melody announced

"Aww its not that bad Mel and John is the only wrestler I've met!" Becki was trying not to laugh

"I still hate you!"

Becki chuckled "ok you hate me"

"Ok ok I'm coming! Bex I've gotta go, stupid lee is making me go to a managers meeting with him"

"lucky you"

"I know! Before I go" Melody said in a serious tone

"Yes"

"how's your arms?"

"getting better, the left ones pretty much healed"

"what about the other?"

"Had a little incident the first night I was here but its getting better"

"I'll ring you later, that sounded interesting"

"not really"

"yeah well I'll call you later! Luv ya"

"you too, bye"

"bye"

Becki sighed as she disconnected the call 'way to ruin my mood Mel' she thought. She looked down at her left arm, fresh scars glared back at her.

"it's a pity that when I left the country you didn't disappear with it" she said to them as she traced her fingers over the angry marks.

Not wanting to continue her train of thought, Becki stood and walked over to the boxes, she started dragging a box labelled 'kitchen' to its destination.

Slowly she began to unpack the box, she was just putting the last of her cutlery away when she heard a knock at her door.

Grabbing her jacket, she threw it on wondering who on earth could be at her door. 'I don't know anyone' she thought as she unlocked the door.

"Hi"

She certainly hadn't expected to find John Cena at her door.
