Chapter Six
The threesome of Randy, Taylor and Krista was rounding a corner when they came upon John Cena carrying a rather angry looking Keeley. They all stopped in their tracks so they could observe the pair for a moment.
"I don't see why I can't walk! Sure I hit my head big deal! I am not incapacitated. Thank you very much!"
"Damn woman…I can tell ya ain't incapacitated. But I don't think you should be walking after that hit. So get over it! I indulged your protestin' earlier, now I am jus' tired of it. So shut the hell up before I drop ya on your head!"
"Oh I dare you to. Then you'd have even more reason to try and play hero. You overgrown lemur!"
John looked down at Keeley after her last remark, trying very hard not to laugh.
"Excus' me? Lemur? How exactly do I resemble a lemur? I mean I could see it as they are cute an' cuddly. Is that it? Ya think I am cute and cuddly? Is that th' reasonin' behind all the animal references?"
Before Keeley could reply, laughing was heard behind them. Keeley tore her eyes from John to look over his shoulder. What she saw made her first blush at the situation she had been found in then angered her.
"Oh I see how it is! You all leave us and now you finally find us and you think it's cool to laugh at me? I think not. If any of you value your lives at this moment you will stop laughing!"
Keeley's words only made all three laugh harder, then finally John gave in and laughed as well. Well he did until Keeley's teacher look turned on him again then he stopped, but not before he winked down at the young woman.
"God I hate all of you! It's not my fault that this happened!"
"Now actually honey I said no, but your pretty little puppy dog face just made me give in. Now I didn't know it would lead to ya hittin' ya head, but hey it was fun right?" John tried to keep a straight face, but with the look of murder on Keeley's face and her crimson coloring it was just impossible.
Finally a member of the trio spoke up.
"What are you two talking about? And why the hell are you carrying her John? I mean knew you had problems getting a date, but damn man you didn't have to kidnap one. And I am sure you could have found a more willing woman than the lovely shrew Keeley." Came the voice of Randy Orton, whose comments earned him a death stare from not only Keeley, but Krista as well.
Krista rolled her eyes at the look of innocence Randy gave her and chose to look at her sister.
"Kee what happened? I mean from what I can gather from all the illusions you hit your head?"
Keeley took a deep breathe and made to speak but was stopped by John's voice.
"Well ya see after y'all left us to ourselves, Miss Keeley here ran in t' one of her pupils and it went down hill from ther'. Dude the kid would not shut the hell up! The poor little kitten had to fake a faintin' spell to get us away from him. Personally though I think she jus' wanted to be alone wit' me."
Keeley rolled her eyes.
"Geez Keeley I knew you were desperate, but faking an injury? I think that is even below me!" Taylor finally piped in earning her a death glare from Keeley and a smack on the back of the head from Krista to which she responded to by sticking out her tongue.
"Fine we get it. I hit my damn head! Can we go get it checked out now? I mean damn if I were really injured I think I'd have permanent damage from how long it is freaking taking us to get to the trainers!" Keeley said choosing to ignore Taylor's mood and remarks.
"Yeah Keeley has a point. I think we should come with you then we can go find Uncle Jerry and let these guys get ready for their shows." Krista said trying to appear to be a peace maker.
All agreed that they should get Keeley to the trainers and then go their separate ways. The group made their ways to the trainer's office with John and Keeley in the lead making small talk.
"Why do ya insist on bein' such a bitch I'd like t' know? I mean dang woman, one minute you're bein' all nice to me then you act like you jus' did now. So I'd like t' know whatz up."
Keeley was caught off guard by John's question.
"I don't know."
"That's not an answer for anyone over the age of five, babe."
Meanwhile Taylor was quiet as she was sulking over the fact that no one seemed to really care it was her birthday, so she was lost in her own world. Thus Randy and Krista were left to talk to one another.
"So umm about earlier in the diva's locker room…" Randy began.
"No," Krista interrupted him," I don't care. I am just a guest of the WWE for the evening and I am here to celebrate my sister's birthday. What you do or who you do in your own time is none of my business. I mean yeah sure you're hot and talented and make a lot of money, but I don't care. I have a life, a real life and I don't need to get involved in the drama of your wrestling life."
Randy was quiet as he didn't know how to reply to that, so all he did was nod his head.
All five were quiet as they entered the trainer's office. Most of the trainers were all busy, checking injuries of a few superstars and taping up old injuries. But pretty soon a trainer named Chris noticed them.
"May I help you guys?"
"Yeah man. Umm Keeley here took a fall and I think she might'a bumped her head. Could ya take a look at it man?"
"Sure. Umm if you would, please put her down on the table over in the corner."
John walked quickly over to the table; passing a few of his fellow wrestlers he was friendly with nodding his head absent-mindedly. He was followed by Randy, Taylor and Krista.
John gently put Keeley down on the table and stood back enough to allow Chris to check her out.
While Chris was checking Keeley out, John stayed near by and the others decided to wonder off around the room.
Taylor made her way over to Rey Mysterio. The short lunchador was being taped up from his previous injuries. Everybody knew the poor guy was always getting injured.
The luchador smiled at the young woman as his knee was getting taped up.
"How are you?" He said.
"Fine. Hi I am Taylor and this is my 21st birthday present."
"Wow…well happy birthday."
"Thanks."
The two fell into conversation while Keeley was getting checked out. Meanwhile Krista had wondered into a corner of the room and sat down to watch the proceeds from afar. She didn't realize she had been followed until the Legend Killer's tall shadow fell across her. She looked up and he gesturing asking if he could sit down next to her. She shook her head. He sat down.
"So we leave Keeley in John's care and he manages to get her hurt." He tried being light hearted to get the young woman to talk to him. She simply nodded her head.
He decided to try a different approach.
"So umm Taylor mentioned earlier you work with kids?" He thought if he showed interest in her maybe he'd get out of the whole he had dug earlier in the diva's locker room.
"Yeah I am a preschool teacher. I love kids. But why are you asking me this?"
"What I am not allowed to be interested in your life? I just thought I would be nice and try to get to know you. I mean I have been escorting you around for quite some time now. So..."
Krista looked at the floor for a minute. She thought about what he said for a few minutes. He was nice, even if he was a cocky, arrogant dense idiot at times.
"Fine. You have a point. What would you like to know?"
Randy smiled; he had gotten his desired result.
They began to talk.
Meanwhile…
"So John tells me you hit your head. Do you mind telling me what happened?"
"I feel backwards to the floor. When I tried to get up my head hurt. Pretty much it." Keeley said to the trainer Chris.
"Keeley don't lie. Ya hit your head pretty hard. I jus' wanted ya to get checked out." John chimed in and earned a look from the high school history teacher.
Chris continued to look at Keeley and examine her for a few minutes.
"Well I'd say you're just going to have a heck of a head ache. You don't appear to have a concussion. So I'd say just be sure to take some pain reliever before you go to bed. And I can give you some for now."
Chris walked off to grab some Tylenol leaving John and Keeley alone.
"See I'm fine!" She said sticking her tongue out at the WWE Champion. John got a smirk on his face.
"Ya know woman ya keep doin' that and I might jus' have to find a different use for your tongue."
He smiled when she blushed yet again. Keeley was thankful that the trainer returned then. She took the pills from him then made to get off the bed only to be aided by John.
"I can take care of myself. I don't need your help."
"I know I jus' wanted to be nice. Now what do ya say we gather the herd and go find ya uncle?"
