Just a quick chapter today before I head out to work. I'll try to get another one up tonight or tomorrow morning. Thanks so much for the reviews. :)


I didn't go back to work, but Eve insisted that I fly out for Wrestlemania. So, after all that time of not seeing anyone, I hoped on a plane and I caught up with her. I spent the entire week with her, going to all the events leading up to Wrestlemania in that town. It was a hectic, but fun week.

Then, the night came and we arrived early. I avoided my so called father at all costs. We went into the arena and watched the road crew set up the stage and the ring.

"Why is Randy hauling equipment and parts?"

"Um— that's his job now." I didn't understand.

"So, he's not wrestling in the show tonight?" It made no sense. Randy was supposed to be in Wrestlemania. He was supposed to be part of one of the major storylines. "Did he quit?"

"No. He's still under contract and this is what he's been told to do." I didn't understand why and Eve either didn't know or didn't want to tell me. I ventured down and called to him.

"Hey, Abbi!" his pissed off demeanor turned into a genuinely happy smile and he joined me. "I didn't know you were coming."

"What are you doing?" I cut right to business.

"You want to get something to eat? Have you eaten lunch yet?" Randy's voice was slightly high pitched.

"What the hell is going on? Just tell me!" I didn't like the game Randy and Eve were playing and I could tell by the way Eve looked at Randy and he shook his head that it was randy's wish to keep it from me.

"Abbi, don't worry about it. There are just some things I have to handle, alright?"

"Orton is road crew now, sweetheart." I whipped around and saw CM Punk walking down the steps of the arena.

"When are you getting back in the ring?"

"In Vince's words – after he's six foot under." Randy shrugged. "I got to help with this, but don't you two take off to eat without me." He gave me a wink and went to help put the ropes up on the ring.

I didn't get it. Did he fail another wellness test?

"You look puzzled. Let me bring you up to speed, baby." Punk sat down in a chair and propped has feet up on the barrier. "Your daddy isn't too happy about pretty boy over there ringing your bell." I looked at him with an expression of disbelief and he must have taken for me misunderstanding him. "In other words, he's punishing Randy for screwing his daughter." Punk laughed. "That was news I really enjoyed giving him."

"Randy didn't want you to know, Abbi. I'm sorry. I wanted to tell you." Eve placed her hand on my shoulder. "He said you would feel responsible and he didn't want that because he said none of it was your fault."
