Bottom Of My Heart Chapter 22: Thinking Over, a wrestling fanfic

Abby stared up at Randy. She hadn't spoke to him or seen him since they had gotten back from Missouri. Why was it whenever she felt she had made her mind up either Dave or Randy showed up and changed it for her, Abby had no idea why people called it a love triangle for it was more like a vicious circle never seeming to stop.

"Abby?" Randy said waving his hand in front of her eyes, she had seemed to just blank out there for a second.

Abby snapped back to reality. "Why do we need to talk?" Abby asked.

"Because the other day I was out and I bought this." Randy said reaching into his pocket and producing a small green velvet box.

Abby's breath caught in her throat. What was he holding? Randy opened his mouth to speak again but was cut off.

"Randy…just the man I was looking for?" Abby turned around and saw Vince McMahon walking over to them.

"Abby change your mind?" Vince asked. Abby didn't hear what he'd said she was still concentrating on the small box.

Vince looked at Abby and then Randy and shook his head. "Randy I need to talk to you about your match tonight there's been a few changes we need to go over."

Randy looked at Abby, he handed her the box quickly and told her he'd be right back. Abby stared after Randy as he walked down the corridor with Vince. Her gaze then turned to the box in her hand.

She sat down against a crate and held it up to eye level, there was a small button on the front of the box which she guessed opened it. Abby looked around, Randy had not mentioned anything about her not opening the box. She wanted to open it but also didn't.

Abby took a breath and pressed the button, the top of the box opened slowly revealing a gold ring; the band was studded with diamonds all the way around and then in the middle of the ring sat two larger diamonds.

Abby quickly shut the box up again, what was Randy doing. Abby suddenly needed some fresh air. She jumped up and began to head for the exit.

Dave pulled into the parking lot he had over slept, he usually liked to be at the arena early to work out in the ring, but there had been a certain female photographer on his mind all night.

Dave walked over to the entrance to the building, he was about to open the door when someone on the other side pushed it open.

Abby stepped out of the door and jumped back when she saw Dave in front of her. Flashes of the night before popped into Abby's head.

"Sorry about last night." Abby said quickly, she tried to walk around him but he was blocking the entire doorway.

"It's okay. I couldn't just leave you in the gutter." Dave said. Abby suddenly remembered the small box still in her hand she suddenly wanted to get away from Dave.

"Well um I got to get going." Abby said sliding around Dave, she was about to walk off when Dave grabbed her arm, she wasn't expecting it so she jolted and the box flew out of her hand.

Dave let go of her hand. He had seen something fly out of her hand but she hadn't moved to pick it up. Dave dropped his bag and walked around Abby. He bent down and saw it was a small box it was open but facing away from him. He picked it up and turned it around.

Abby was frozen to the spot, she watched as Dave stared down at the ring and then turned his gaze to Abby.

Dave stood up and snapped the box shut, it didn't take a genius to realise who had given her the ring.

"It's nothing." Abby suddenly blurted out.

"Really because that's a whole lot of diamonds for nothing." Dave said pushing the box into Abby's hand.

Abby stared at Dave. She realised that it was time to choose.

I've been searching for a reason
And I'm running out of time
I can feel that it's the season
It's time to make up my mind

"So are you going to marry him?" Dave asked.

And I can't really tell you what I'm gonna do
There are so many thoughts in my head
There are two roads to walk down and one road to choose
So I'm thinking over the things that you've said
Thinking over the things...

"I don't know yet Dave." Abby said. She got the urge to run away from him and as she began to turn away she felt him stop her again.

"You can't keep running Abby. Running away isn't going to solve your problems. I love you, and Randy obviously does as well. Abby I love you so much that what ever you choose to do I'll be happy for you. Even if I have to know you're with another man." Dave pulled Abby to him and kissed her. "I love you." Dave whispered before turning and walking into the arena.

Abby walked over and sat against the wall; she opened up the box and stared at the ring.

I'm thinking over
Thinking over
Thinking over
The things that you've said
and I'm thinking over
Thinking over
Thinking over the things...

Randy walked around the arena, he had been longer, and then he'd thought with Vince. He needed to see Abby. He knew she'd probably seen the ring by now. He smiled as he pictured her freaking out, he was going to ask her to be his wife, and he prayed she accepted.

Randy made his way outside to the car park and turned around looking for Abby he then noticed her against the far wall he walked over, as he got closer he realised she was staring at the ring.

Abby heard foot steps and looked up to see Randy walking towards her.

"Well looks like you ruined my big moment." Randy said laughing he realised Abby hadn't joined in.

Randy sat down next to her; he took the ring away from her hand and removed it from the box.

"I remember coming over your house when we were little, I think it was just after your mum had passed away cause my parents brought some food over for your dad, anyway you were playing house in your room you made me sit down and pretend to be your husband then you ran off and left me in your room." Randy said.

Abby smiled up at him as he continued. "I must of sat in your room for an hour waiting for you to come back, I think I finally got sick of waiting cause I remember finding you out in your back yard behind that group of trees. When I asked why you had left me alone you said that's what mummy's do they leave you."

Abby wiped away the few tears that were making there way down her cheeks; she was remembering this as well.

"Do you remember what I told you that day?" Randy asked.

Abby nodded. "You said that you'd never leave me."

I'm thinking over
Thinking over
Thinking over
The things that you've said
And I'm thinking over
Thinking over
Thinking over the things...

Randy picked up Abby's hand and placed the ring on her finger. "And I want to keep that promise. Abby I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you. Marry me?"

He wants to marry me
Carry me far away
He wants to love me for life
He wants to be with me
Every morning I awake
He wants to hold me through the night

Abby stared up at Randy, she also thought of Dave. "Abby please answer me." Randy said still holding on to Abby's hand.

I can't really tell you
What I'm gonna do
There are so many thoughts in my head
There are two roads to walk down
And one road to choose
So I'm thinking over
The things that you've said

Abby leaned forward and kissed Randy. "Yes."
