Tiny Bit of Conflict
I waved to Tracie and Matt. Another Impact was over. I headed back towards the locker room. But stopped to talk to AJ and Christian.
"Trin, have you heard?" I turned towards Christian. "There's talk about about Sting joining TNA."
I could have jumped up and down. I love Sting he is one of my favorite wrestlers. We excitedly discussed this for a few minutes before I hurried to the locker room.
When I walked into the room everyone was sitting down. Scott quickly told me about the Sting rumor. For some reason they didn't seem happy about it. I sat down beside Petey who automatically sat his hand beside me. Lately he's been doing small things like that. Touching my back a lot or that day with AJ when he put his arm around me.
We all turned towards the banging door. Scott opened it and shook hands with Jeff Jarrett. In his Tennessee accent he addresses us all.
"As you all know TNA is talking about having Sting join the team. I'm trying to get everyone together who's against this."
Petey stood up to pace the room. I opened my mouth to ask why this was a bad thing but before I could say anything Petey held up his hand motioning for me to be quiet. I turned back to him in shock.
"What did you just do? Are you telling me to shut up?"
"No."
He didn't say anything else because that's exactly what he was doing.
"You know I think I'll completely stay out of this and let the men talk," I said sarcastically.
I jerked the door open and left.
The place was virtually empty so I made my way down the halls towards the tunnel leading to the ramps. A few people were still making their way out so I plopped down and put my feet up on the tunnel.
Petey listened to the rest of what Jeff had to say then he shook his hand and told him that he completely agreed. TNA has brought in a lot of people in the past three months. All new flavors as Jeff put it. Rhino, 3-D, Christian, and now Sting. Petey left the guys to finish talking and went to where Trinity took off to. He knew the second he put his hand on her that it was a mistake. It didn't take much to set her temper off. He was just used to people listening to him. Something Trin did not do very well. Other than a few cleaning guys there was no one around. Petey decided to check the halls first to see if trinity was even around. There was also a chance that she just left. But Petey had a feeling she was around somewhere.
His footsteps approached slowly, he stopped and leaned again the wall when he saw me sitting on the ground. He must have finished up with Jeff because he was dressed in a T-shirt and jeans. He stood in front of me and extended his hand. I took it and he pulled me to my feet.
"You're still mad at me."
"Yep."
We started towards the parking lot. He opened up the cab door for me. After about five minutes I broke the silence.
"Why is Sting joining TNA a bad thing?"
"Because it has to stop somewhere. TNA keeps getting WWE throw-aways and the people who've been here for years lose opportunities because of these new comers."
"I'm a new comer."
"Yeah, but you're not…"
"What? Important?" I filled in for him.
"I did not say that."
"You didn't say anything but that's exactly what you meant. Sting coming is a good thing."
"It's definitely not a good thing."
"You wouldn't know a good thing if it bit you on the ass."
I turned back towards my window showing that I was done arguing with him.
I quickly hopped out as soon as we stopped at my apartment. The cab pulled away and I turned around surprised to see that Petey had gotten out too. He tried to talk to me all the way to the door.
"Just go please. My uncles could come home any minute."
He completely ignored me and we went up. I stopped again at the door.
"I'm not mad anymore. Go Petey, I'll see you tomorrow."
Just then I heard loud voices coming from down the hall. I cursed and quickly unlocked the door.
"Go right. Last room down the hall on the left side."
I didn't want for his answer, I just pushed him in and shut the door.
