CHAPTER NINE: Something's On Your Mind

I plopped down onto the bed. "I never want to get up again."

Adam laughed. "So how'd you like being backstage with everyone again?"

"Man it was so fun. I really missed seeing most of them, especially Mark. I remember when he cut his hair and he first showed it to me, I was so mad that he chopped off his beautiful locks."

I picked up a piece of his hair, "If you ever cut off your hair, I swear I will not talk to you for like a week."

"Why is that a threat Ms. Michaels?"

I playfully grinned, "No, it's a promise Mr. Copeland."

Adam got this look in his eye and began to tickle me. I was laughing so hard that I hadn't heard the phone ring, so Ames had to yell for me to pick it up, interrupting our tickling war.

"Erin speaking," I answered out of breath.

"Hey it's Scott. Guess who forgot to call and let us know that the plane landed okay?"

I listened to her gasp and tell someone to stop it.

"I'm sorry, just that when I got here my welcome home committee sort of bombarded me."

"It's okay; I just wanted to know if you were all settled in and such?"

Kevin and Paul were looking at me wondering what was taking her so long to answer me back. See she didn't know that I had her on speakerphone to begin with, and since she didn't ask, I wasn't going to tell.

"Things are great here. Ames, Adam and I trained half the day and spent the other half backstage at RAW! Do you know when Uncle Paul and company are supposed to come back?"

Paul decided to answer and give us away in the process. "Probably in like a couple of weeks or so."

"Listen kiddo, do you want to talk to your dad. I'm sure he'd love to talk to you."

I watched Shawn come in right when Kevin said that to Erin.

"No, I don't want to talk to Mr. Jackass, and I'm sure he wouldn't want to talk to me. Not until he at least apologizes for what he started."

Shawn glared at us. "I'm not apologizing to you, because all I did was look out for you, like a father should."

"Say word? Well you can just go jump the fuck off of a bridge you ass-"

Something snapped their hand over her mouth, but I did catch her say the words 'no let me speak' in the background.

We heard some muffledscreams and a little scuffling in the background, before somone came back onto the line.

"Uh, guys it's me Adam here. I'm sorry but I think it's time to hang up now before either parties involved say something that they can't take back."

"Okay thanks for the help Adam. Oh and see if you can talk some sense into her while we do the same to her stubborn ass father."

"No problem, bye."

Then all we heard was the phone slamming down onto the receiver and the dial tone. I hung up the speakerphone and glared at Shawn, who glared right back.

"Do you have to start an argument with her whenever you two speak?"

"I'm just trying to prove my point to her Scott, that's all."

"You're the reason why she left two months early, Shawn. Obviously what you've been doing isn't working on her except serving to piss her off."

"Yeah, blame her idiotic tendencies on me, why don't you. It's all going to come back to bite me isn't it, since it's my fault?"

We watched him storm off to Erin's old bedroom.

"What the hell—why do you all keep doing that?"

I stared at Adam who had served as another roadblock towards me yelling at my father.

"Because Einstein he's your father and you can't change that. Besides you and your father both need to sit down, stop acting like children and discuss this problem the two of you have with each other."

I leaned back against my pillow. "I'll do it when he decides to apologize to me for his actions, simple as that."

Adam draped an arm around my abdomen and laid his head down next to mine on the pillow.

"Look it's been a long day. Just get some rest; I'll stay here until you fall asleep."

Then I watched him, as he bravely leaned over and softly kissed my lips. "Goodnight Adam."

Did I just imagine that or did Adam really kiss me?

"Goodnight EJ."

Exist2Inspire: When I first got the reviews from you, I was glad to see that you had actually given my story the time of day. I'm happy that you think I'm a good emotional story teller, although I may not think that about myself. But as I'm always telling people, I'm my own worst enemy. Anyway I hope that you liked this chapter, and I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon too.
