November 14, 2014
Previously On 'California Friends'; Eve and Randy spend time together and Eve develops a crush on Randy, but she can't have a crush on him because Cherry already has a special thing going on with Randy. Meanwhile at Jillian's Halloween party, Brie is stalked by this creepy mysterious guy in a Scream costume, to the point where he even chases her into a closet and locks her inside, but Brie still doesn't know who could've possibly been in the costume. And as for Nikki things also seem to be going in a scary direction as she steps off on the wrong foot with Stephanie, the two getting into a heated feud because of Nikki's tardiness. Meanwhile things seem to be going great for Aj, who seems to be getting closer and closer to Vince, which Melina begins to find a bit fishy.
Starring~ Melina Perez, Brie Bella, Nikki Bella, Eve Torres, and Layla El.
"Okay we'll start off with a simple walking exercise, and then we'll quickly grab lunch after that," Cherry says as she pulls out a schedule notebook out.
Eve smiles, "That sounds good to me, and ugh I can't express how excited I am right now," Eve says stretching her arms up with joy.
Cherry looks over at her and smiles, "That's good to hear, and now you're making me even more excited for you," Cherry says as she pulls out the equipment for Eve to start practicing.
Eve watches her pull out the equipment, "Well you should be excited in your own right, I mean you and Randy seem to be hitting it off, how's that going," Eve says curious to how Cherry feels about him.
"Well me and Randy are just friends, but I adore him, in more ways than just a friend, I honestly do hope that one day we become a couple," Cherry says pausing to think about Randy.
Eve watches her, she notices the love Cherry carries in her eyes for Randy, "Yeah I can tell you truly do adore him, I think he might just feel the same about you," Eve says wishing she could just shake the emotions she has for Randy off, for the sake of not ruining her friendship with Cherry.
Cherry looks at Eve with a smile, "I just want to be with him, I want him to be mine," Cherry says as she goes back to setting the equipment up.
"I think you guys will eventually become a couple, I see the love you guys share for each other, you guys would make the cutest couple," Eve says giving Cherry a smile, as she tries hard to hide the feelings she has for Randy.
"Thanks Eve, anyways enough talking about me and Randy, let's go back to getting you on your feet again," Cherry says as she finishes setting up the treadmill like equipment.
Eve smiles, "I'm so ready to take this on," Eve says laughing as she rolls in her wheelchair over to Cherry.
Brie steps out of her car, she closes the door and turns around to walk inside the store, when she suddenly sees Daniel walking towards her.
Daniel makes eye-contact with her, he waves as he walks closer and closer to her, "Hey Brie, Don't worry I just came here to tell you something," Daniel says.
Brie rolls her eyes and starts backing away, "Uhh, I have to go actually, how about next time... or never," Brie says trying to completely avoid Daniel.
"Brie don't worry I'm not here to start a war, I'm here to end a war," Daniel says approaching Brie.
"Really, wow, that's so pathetic you know, you have me and my boyfriend arrested, and then you think that it's all cool and that we can be friends now," Brie says rolling her eyes again as she sarcastically laughs and walks away.
Daniel follows her as he too laughs along, but for a different reason, "Oh Brie, trust me I don't want be your friend, I'm here to serve you with a lawsuit," Daniel says as he takes out the official lawsuit paper.
Brie's stomach turns upside down, she stops and turns to face Daniel, "Oh you've got to be kidding me, for what now, you are seriously ridiculous," Brie says as she watches Daniel give her the lawsuit paper, she takes the paper and feels a burning sting inside of her.
"Well I'll see you their," Daniel says as he begins to walk away.
"You've got nothing on me, If anybody's going down, it's going to be you, I can guarantee that you'll fall first," Brie says to Daniel as she puts the paper in her purse.
Brie looks up and continues, "I just don't understand why you're so determined to drown me with all of this, why can't we just walk away without making such a mess," Brie says as she feels her heart shatter inside.
Daniel turns around to face Brie, "Because Brie we've been together for such a long time, either way we were bound to end in destruction," Daniel says as his car keys accidentally fall out of his hand.
Brie watches him kneel down to get them, she looks at his keys and notices his key-chain, it's a Scream mask key-chain.
She begins to take subtle steps back, the Scream mask brings back memories from the Halloween party Scream stalking incident.
Now that she starts to think about it, could it have been Daniel who was in the Scream costume, could he have been the one who was stalking her and Roman at the party.
Daniel get's his keys and looks Brie directly in the eye, before abruptly walking away. Brie feels a shiver go down her spine, she can swear that those same pair of eyes, were the same pair of eyes that looked directly into her eyes at the Halloween party.
Brie watches Daniel walk away, meanwhile her mind spins fast around, she can't believe Daniel just served her with a lawsuit and that he also might have been the mysterious stalker guy in the Scream costume, that even ended up locking her in the closet that night.
Nikki opens the door to the house, she turns on the light and walks in, quietly and carefully putting her stuff on the couch.
She walks to the fridge and get's herself a yogurt, she turns on the TV and lowers the volume, so that she doesn't wake John up.
Nikki begins to go through her phone, she goes through her notifications and notices a voice-mail sent by Stephanie a couple of hours ago.
She puts her spoon down and listens to the voice-mail, "Hi this is Stephanie, and I wanted to let you know that we have decided to release you from your contract, meaning we're firing you, OCW wishes you the best in your future endeavors," Stephanie's pre-recorded voice says through the voice-mail.
Nikki pauses and puts her phone down, she stares into blank space, not knowing how to react.
It all seems so sudden for Nikki, she feels like it might not even be real, it's all coming too fast in her direction for her to even process.
She's devastated that another thing has been taken away from her, a thing that she loved, a thing that she saw a future for. She saw herself spending a couple more years in OCW, she saw herself becoming the Diva's Champion one day, she saw all of the possibilities and all of the future story-lines she could've been in, she saw herself making new memories their, but now she can no longer do that.
It's been weeks since she last competed in one of OCW's shows, she hasn't been in any decent story-lines recently, the golden peak years in her wrestling career were spent back in her very first story-line, with Melina and Brie over a year ago.
She can't make a comeback now that she's fired, the end was unexpected, something that's leaving her shocked.
Nikki sits on the floor, she crawls to the couch and lays their, quietly crying so that John doesn't hear her. Her night is spent with the blue tears, the blue tears that come to visit her eyes often, Nikki finds herself crying her eyes to sleep again.
"Well it's nice to welcome you into this big wrestling family of ours," Stephanie says, shaking Layla's hand.
Layla smiles while she shakes her hand, "Well it's my pleasure, I am so excited to get started in that ring," Layla says to Stephanie.
Stephanie pulls out a list of the current wrestling roster, "Well I'm glad you're on board with us, I literally just fired one of our signed talent from the roster, maybe you can replace her and fit in well with the rest of the roster," Stephanie says pointing to Nikki's name.
"Oh dear, now I'm nervous for the expectations," Layla says curling her hair with her finger.
"Don't be nervous, just don't stop for your little cup of coffee when you're already running late here," Stephanie says throwing shade at the reasoning for the firing of Nikki.
Layla's eyes widen, feeling the shade, "Oooh girl, I'm guessing that's the reason for the firing of this un-named person," Layla says, wondering who Stephanie could've been referring to.
Stephanie taps her on the shoulder, "Don't let me down Layla, Don't let me down," Stephanie says, avoiding the question as she walks away.
Layla turns around to watch her walk away, "Don't walk away from the future Diva's Champion that way, darling that's just rude," Layla whispers, still keeping her eye on Stephanie as she walks further and further away.
"I have to go now, I'm going to talk to Vince about my championship match, Okay, Bye," Melina says to Jillian through her phone.
Melina starts walking, she makes a turn and then suddenly drops her purse on accident, "Shoot," Melina says as she picks up her belongings that fell out of the purse, but before getting up from the floor, she looks up towards Vince's office window.
She sees Vince making out with a woman, a woman who does not look like his wife.
Melina gasps, she quickly get's her stuff and crawls behind a near stack of wrestling mats, so that Vince doesn't catch her.
She quietly looks over and she sees Vince's hands running all over this woman, a woman who looks very young and who also looks familiar, even from just looking at her back.
The woman turns around to face the window, Melina quickly ducks and starts crawling away. Melina crawls away, but before completely leaving, she sees the woman's face, it's none other than Aj.
Melina's beyond shocked and grossed out, she now knows why Aj and Vince were becoming so close as friends, she also knows the reason for Aj even becoming the future Diva's champion.
Melina continues to crawl, until she's behind the wall, where she made that turn. She continues to spy on them from behind the wall, she notices Aj kissing Vince and grabbing his suit tie.
Melina takes out her phone, her hands get sweaty holding the phone, but without even thinking about it, Melina snaps a photo of them, right as they begin to make out again.
Melina looks at the picture she took, she notices her hands shaking while she holds her own phone.
She's shaking and sweating because what Melina now holds, is valuable information that only she knows of, that can break or change people's life's.
Melina puts her phone in her pocket, she looks around to see if anybody saw her taking the picture, luckily no one is around. So she walks away, she walks fast away, finally getting to the front of the building, where she opens the door and completely leaves the arena for the day.
