Ch 4 friends who look out for you

Disclaimer- own nothing and no one you recognize. . .yet . . .dun dun dun

"Carrie?" Sidney knocked on the hotel door. It was closed improperly and opened a crack.

"eerie yet inviting lets go" Janet welcomed herself in. No one was in the room, but the shower was running.

"Carrie. . .Kane?" He called for any signs of life."Was there really so few good things on the tv that we came to visit Carrie? Before we've become fully intoxicated. It takes all the fun out of it" Sidney gave a bored sigh as they made there way through the vacant room.

"Janet don't" Lizzie could see the look in Janet's eyes.

"What?" Janet scoffed, playing dumb as she made her way closer to the bathroom door.

"Do you remember what happened the last time you walked in on Carrie in the shower?" Sidney reminded her.

"Oh she'll get over it?" Janet stood in front of the shower curtain and in one fowl sweep yanked it aside. "Boo. . .Oh damn. Run. . .run like the dickens" Janet came jumping from the bathroom.

"I told her not...oh my god, Janet how could you mess that up?" Lizzie laughed and gasped at the same time. The three friends ran out into the hallway, after a short head start Kane was chasing behind them.

"You'd think you'd notice the difference between the two-" Sidney yelled as they took a sharp turn.

"Well I did notice the difference. . .but by then it was to late" Janet snapped.

" I didn't mean that-" Sidney rolled his eyes.

"Guys stop arguing and hurry, he's catching up, he's angry, and we're running in circles" Lizzie called from the head of the pack.

"I say we go back to the room and try to lock him out" Janet panted.

"Oh good piss him off more. Gee Janet you are chock full of good ideas" Sidney sneered.

"Ok big shot what's your miraculous plan?" Janet gave Sidney a push.

"Carrie's room it is" He frowned. "This all your fault you peeping tom" They ran faster, hearing Kane rush after them , his embarrassment and anger was uncontrolled and he wanted to unleash it on those nosy brats. 'What the hell were they doing. Cant people just understand enough to give me space. What do i have to do to get left alone?' He couldn't comprehend the playful nature of Janet's joke. In his mind they were just like everyone else, taunting him.

"I cant seem to face up to the facts
I'm tense and nervous and I
Cant relax
I cant sleep cause my beds on fire
Don't touch me I'm a real live wire
Psycho killer
Quest que cest – Hey Janet, Lizzie what are-" Carrie removed her earphones to get pulled off the bed and shoved in front of Janet like a human shield.

"Kill her not me. She's got nothing to live for" Janet cowered behind Carrie when the door nearly flew off the hinges .

"I leave to get freetos comeback to find an empty hotel room, four minutes later you three run in like idiots and You come in looking for blood. What the hell happened?" Carrie spun around at Janet. "And I have plenty to live for thank you very much" Carrie folded her arms in defiance.

"Get. Them. Out of here" Kane huffed angrily.

"Not till someone tells me what is going on" Carrie insisted. Kane just sat in the chair farthest from the group and stewed in malice controlling every impulse to punch one of Carrie's miserable friends in the face.

"Remember that time Janet walked in on you in the shower" Sidney couldn't help but feel like he had reminisced about the incident one to many times for one night.

"Long story short I thought Kane was you-" Janet sighed. Carrie fell to the bed laughing, she looked over seeing kane's from deepen.

"I'm not laughing at you Kane" He just turned away looking out the window. "I'm laughing at you" Carrie pointed at Janet. "Oh my god. Serves you right" Carrie's laughter fizzled."I don't know who it's more insulting towards Kane or me that you got us confused." Carrie scratched her head.

"Kane" Janet answered with no thought.

"Definitely Kane. Whenever anyone gets mistaken for you." Sidney looked Carrie up and down. "it's a bad day" He finished.

"My humblest apologies" Janet gave a curtsy. Kane just looked over at Carrie, he thought she was beautiful which was one of the reasons he could never have her. 'Temptation is cruel' His already upset mind grew more bitter. He tried to block their voices from his ears.

"Thanks" Carrie rolled her eyes.

"Hey Carrie, What do you have to live for?" Lizzie questioned ending the short lived silence.

"I. . .oh shit. What do i have to live for? Well do you guys have things to live for?" Carrie frowned racking her brain for something she wanted to achieve or retain.

"I can't die till I father Maryellen at least two children" Sidney shrugged. "I promised her she said. Sure" He scoffed.

"Bernie, who would take take care of my pretty African Grey" Lizzie smiled.

"Who would. What an ugly bird it looks like it's been through a drought. . .and a hurricane. . .and the plague. . .within a month. Bleh" Janet shuddered, she had quite a distaste for Lizzie's bird after it left her a present in her doc martin boots.

"Hey, it was a mistake" Lizzie defended her pride and joy.

"it was disgusting." Janet sneered.

"What do you have to live for Janet?" Sidney ate the remnants of Carrie's freetos.

"To get in the guinness book of world records." Janet stated confidently. "leave my mark you know."

"Wow Janet that's actually-" Carrie started.

"Oh plus get you and Lizzie laid" Janet added.

"Nevermind" Carrie sighed.

"If you to could just up and shag that'd make my job a whole lot easier" Janet concluded.

"One problem" Sidney stated.

"Yeah I don't bed with blonds, no offense Lizzie you're a swell girl. Just not my type." Carrie shook her hand through Lizzie's sunflower colored locks.

"None taken" Lizzie snickered.

"Well what is your type ms picky?" Janet prodded.

"I don't have a type" Carrie shrugged.

"you going to be a nun?" Janet scoffed.

"Carrie a nun? Come one be serious" Sidney shook his head.

"Other then her lack of religion she'd make a great nun-"

"Just like who I like and don't who I don't. Keep my options in the clear" Carrie shrugged.

"Ooh i got it." Lizzie shot off her spot on the floor.

"What?"

"I know what Carrie needs to live for. To become a full fledged wrestler of sorts." She exclaimed proudly.

"Well i wont have to wait long for that" Carrie smirked.

"really?Go Carrie" Lizzie clapped.

"Yeah. As a, I dono thank you of sorts, Lita got a match for the two of us next week. She says since I wont be under a valet contract two weeks from now, I should try to impress Mr. McMahon so he'll sign me as a diva. So, me and her, next week, punch for punch, move for move" Carrie explained her look of joy turned to a look of questioning as she glanced at Kane who's eyes weren't angry as they had been etched that night but with a sense of disappointment and longing, he turned away before willing himself to tell Carrie what he wanted her to hear. ' In two weeks time she'll be long gone. That's still what I want though I want to be alone. That's how it should be for a man. . .a monster like me. She's going to be leaving me, just like everyone else. I don't want her to be everyone else i want her to be mine. I want her to stay with me, by my side.' He lurched over in his seat just wanting to disappear from the situation. 'I don't want to go. I want to be a wrestler, but I still, want to be Kane's valet. I want to be more then that. I want to be able to love Kane. I want Kane to be able to love me. But he wont, maybe he doesn't want to, maybe it's as simple as that he doesn't like me, wouldn't be the first time. But I still can't help but feel a connection. I still have to put in the good run for the money, before I fall flat on my face' Carrie got lost in thought.

"Well you're thing to live for is to be accomplished in the wrestling field. ..like Kane" Lizzie smiled in his direction, giving him the option to join in the conversation he stood up and walked to Carrie.

"I'm going to bed. Keep them quiet. Or since they can't do that show them the door" he lied on the bed the bottoms of his feet reaching right to the edge of the bed as he was lying straight as a board, his eyes closed, he wasn't sleeping he just wasn't moving just waiting for tiredness and silence to creep over him hoping to get some rest, also hoping Carrie would come lie next to him.

"You guys have caused enough carnage within an hour you probably should go" Carrie nodded.

"Yeah" Sidney nodded.

"Goodnight Carrie" Lizzie smiled.

"Where do you sleep? Do you two sleep in the same bed?" Janet was twenty four seven with her antic tis

"It's none of your business where I sleep" She shooed them out of the door.

"Just curious" Janet scoffed.

"Well since all this hell you've put him through I don't want to wake him so as of tonight I will not be sleeping in the bed" Carrie tried to appease Janet's curiosity.

"You can come to our room. Sleep in Sidney's bed" Lizzie offered.

"Yeah. Just don't try anything" Sidney warned. Kane's heart sunk, in his half awake state, as the offer was made, he didn't want to share her constantly with them, they would have her forever he had to preciously save every moment he got with the person he revered yet yearned for. 'Women equals pain' he tried to remind himself but it seemed hollow and distant to his psyche

"ok, I'll meet you guys there room 126 Pasalacqua inn, see you there lovelies" Carrie winked closing the door then collapsing to the floor. "Tiring barrel of monkeys those three" She sighed. "Well Kane goodnight" She leaned over the bedside and kissed his forehead, his eyes shot open. "ahh" Carrie shrieked in surprise.

"I scared you" He turned to his side shutting his eyes tight. 'Women equals pain. No one understands you' He scolded himself.

"You surprised me." Carrie walked to the other side of the bed and sat herself down on it. "Theres a difference. Pretending to be asleep, quite sneaky of you" She shook her head.

"Your friends are waiting" He sighed, not opening his eyes to her. Carrie lied down, lining herself up to him so their faces were right next to each other.

"Yeah. And they can wait all night" Carrie yawned closing her own eyes. Kane waited a few seconds till he assumed she was asleep and opened his eyes he just stared at her. Then reached out his hand and cupped her face in his huge palm. Her eyes lazily came to life and softly smiled at him in the nearly light less night. "See fooled you. Thought I was sleeping huh?" her voice was barley a murmur, she had been sleeping, feeling embraced with Kane's presence she had quickly nodded off. It was only then they both noticed Kane's hand hadn't moved, it still held Carrie's face like it was going to turn to dust in his fingers. Carrie in a mimicking fashion ran her hand down the side of Kane's cheek. He looked surprised that she wasn't to repulsed to touch his clammy pale skin, but she just smiled and moved closer to him resting her head in the curve of his neck, his hand that had explored her facial feature moved to her back, running up and down her spine slowly. None of them dared speak another word afraid of scaring the other off. They lied in silence in a warm embrace that they both needed desperately.

A/n- thanks for all the love. Hope this chapter didn't disappoint. Any ideas for Carrie and kane's story? Id love to hear them thanks again
