You know those mornings when you wake up and you think 'how the hell can I top yesterday?' today was definitely one of those mornings.
First of all, it's Sunday-Training day.
I threw the blankets back and put my feet down on the cold carpet. I stumbled into the living room, Shannon was sitting on the couch in his boxers eating cereal.
"Mornin'." I mumbled.
"Hey," He said, his voice hoarse.
I laughed, "How much did you drink last night?"
"Too much." He said before turning the TV on.
"Get ready, we've got some noobs to train." I said as I grabbed an energy drink out of the refrigerator.
"Ah, come on, we can ditch today." Shannon whined.
"No we can't."
"You're usually the one that doesn't want to go, what the fuck is up with you?"
"Nothing, I'm just ready to go out. I haven't worked out all week, thanks to Gas Chamber. I want to go do something."
"Sure, you've got Ashley and Cassandra to train today. Have fun." Shannon said as he put his cereal bowl down on the coffee table.
"Ha-ha," I laughed sarcastically then disappeared into my room. I sat down on my bed and watched The Weather Channel as I drank my energy drink as quick as possible. I threw the can in the waste basket and burped loudly.
I took my pajama's off, put a pair of basketball shorts on and an oversized 'avenged sevenfold' shirt on.
Among the many loves Shannon and I share wrestling is one of them. Nerdy, I know. But it's an amazing release when you find yourself bouncing off ropes and flying through the air.
I pulled my burgundy hair into a small pony tail, put some extra clothes, retainers and deo into a duffel bag. I jogged out to the garage and put my bag in the backseat of the hummer. I quickly ran back inside, it's cold in the mornings.
Shannon came out of his room in a wife beater and shorts.
"Hey, bubby? Can you tape my wrists up?" I asked.
"Are they hurting you?" He asked as he went into his room to find his tape.
"Yeah, Just today. You know how they hurt when it gets cold."
Shannon nodded and pulled a roll of white tape out of his top dresser drawer.
"Sit down." He instructed.
I sat down on his bed and held my wrists out.
"Listen, I don't want to see you around Jeff today, hang around with Cassandra and Ashley." He said as he rolled the tape around my wrists. Shannon's not usually like this, he's usually laid back and more like a friend than a brother. But lately he's been uptight.
I rolled my eyes, but knew better than to start a fight with him.

Shannon parked the hummer beside Matt's camaro. I climbed out. Jeff was sitting at the picnic table with Cassandra and Ashley. He gave me a sly smile.
"Hey." I said as I walked over to them.
Shannon walked the opposite direction to Matt and the boys.
"Hey, Jess." Cassandra said then gave me a hug.
"Hey, you know how long it's been since you called me?" I asked.
Her face turned deep red.
"Too long, apparently." She mumbled under her breath.
"You got that right." I said then ruffled her hair. She ducked out of my reach, scrambling to fix her hair to it's previous state.
"Jess!" Shannon yelled from the other side of the ring. I blew out a big breath of air then turned around. Matt and Shannon looked way to happy.
"What?!" I answered, half waiting for something to fly from the air and turn me into a greasy spot on the ground.
"Steph's gonna be here today!" He said excitedly.
My heart skipped a beat and I gave him a confused look, "Our sister dumbass." He said in a tone that made me look like the stupidest mother fucker ever.
Matt's face was practically glowing. He has a thing for my sister, they used to date and she's head over heels in love with him. But Adam [Edge is her husband. I hate seeing what it does to both of them, and how Adam doesn't even know. There was always bad blood between them.
"Oh," I laughed.
Shannon smiled and went back to talking to Matt. I turned around to see Jeff laughing to himself.
"Hey chica!" Ashley said as she wrapped her arms around my neck.
"Hey! Have you been working with your upper body?" I asked.
She nodded furiously, her blond hair moving as she did so.
"Good."
"All trainee's to the ring." Shannon announced, causing Matt to snicker.
Cassandra and Ashley climbed into the ring, leaving me and Jeff alone. Awkward alone.
I sat down next to him and watched Matt and Shannon lecture the 'kids'.
I nudged Jeff's arm with mine, never breaking my gaze from the ring. He smirked and nudged me back.
"Can you come over tonight?" He whispered.
"I don't know. Steph might give me a ride. Other than that I don't know." I said sadly.
"If she wont, call me. And I'll pick you up."
I smiled, "Okay."
"They're not looking give me a kiss."
I glanced over at Shannon who was busy getting thrown into the turnbuckles.
"Okay." I said then quickly pressed my lips to his.
"Thank you." He said with a big smile on his face.
I laughed, "You're welcome."
"Sissy!" I heard a high pitched squeal from across the clearing. I looked over and saw my sister running towards me.
"Ahh!" I yelled then jumped up and ran to her.
She engulfed me in a hug.
"Aw, baby! I've missed you!" I said as I squeezed her.
"I've missed you too asshole. Stop, you're choking me." She said then pushed me away from her.
"Bitch!" I laughed.
"Bring it on." She smiled.
Jeff put his hand on my shoulder and stretched his hand out for my sister to shake.
"Steph," He greeted her like she was a stranger.
She looked at me, her eyes wide, "Jeff, " She said as she shook his hand.
They both broke out in a fit of laughter.
"I see your hair is another unnatural color. Always different huh?" Steph asked.
Jeff nodded, "I saved your little sister from a bald head recently."
Steph smiled and patted Jeff's back, "Someone always has to save her, she'll never be able to save herself."
"That's true," He said, glancing at me through the corner of his eye.
"Jess! Get your fat-ass in here!" Shannon yelled. I climbed onto the ring and stepped between the ropes.
"What?" I said flatly.
"We're gonna see if Ashley's been working on her upper body." Matt said, a hint of spite in his voice. I don't know why, I haven't done fuck to him lately.
"Sure! Bring it on!" I said.
"Sorry!" Ashley said then lifted me into the air, one hand at my crotch and the other at my chest. Her nails dug into my skin.
"Now, power slam her." Shannon instructed.
I bit my lip and closed my eyes. She pulled her arms down then in a sudden burst of energy I went flying into the air, my back colliding against the ring floor.
My back arched in pain.
Shannon laughed. I got up and walked over.
"Is that funny to you? Getting your trainee's to fucking pound me into the ground? Well I fucking challenge you…to a duel!" I said then laughed.
Shannon didn't think it was funny, his jaw clenched, "And what might that be?"
"Let me test my Swanton's on you. See if I'm still as good as I was when I left."
Shannon swallowed hard, he knows how bad those hurt. He wouldn't dare back down, his friends are watching.
"You're on."
"Kay, get down there." I said as I pointed to a corner of the ring. He laid down on his stomach. I climbed up the turnbuckles. I squatted down on the top one then jumped off, twisting my body in mid-air, I landed my back on his stomach.
"Fuck!" He yelled. I laid on him for a minute, out of breath.
"Ah, fuck! Get off me!" He yelled. I laughed then rolled off.
"I take it I still haven't lost my edge."
Adam glanced over at me, "Did you say something about me?"
"No, you aren't in the ring. We call you Adam around here."
"Good, cause if you did, " he cleared his throat "I'd be forced to fuck you up."
I laughed, "Is that an offer? Cause I think I could take you."
We both laughed, knowing that was a flat out lie.
