Take A Chance

Note: All I own are Lana Crimson and Jaycie Jordans along with one of my friends who also used their names for stories on Fanfiction. Read her stories too! I do not own any wrestlers that may come up, I do not own the general manager or any announcer people or any one else from TNA.

Jaycie woke up at 9:00am with a pounding headache. She took some aspirin before she hopped in the shower. She changed into her workout clothes and peeked in Lana's room. Pitch black, total silence, typical Lana.

Jaycie walked back to her room to watch some TV for a while since she still had an hour until her official workout time started.

She flipped on the TV, and before she realized it, she was dozing off.

Jaycie shot straight up and looked at the clock when she woke up for the second time. The clock read '12:13pm'.

"Shit," she rushed out of bed, left a note for Lana, if by chance she'd wake up anytime soon, and bolted out the door.

She arrived at the TNA building and parked in back before she walked in and into Gym 2, not noticing AJ working on one of the machines.

She went straight to the ring to warm-up. Twenty minutes later, she went to bench weight. She was tired, so all the weight she put up to was 200 pounds. She started her three reps of fifteen each.

When she had only a few more to go, AJ Styles came over and towered over her.

'He looks really hot when he's sweaty,' Jaycie thought. 'Whoa, okay, Jaycie. Now if Lana were here she'd be thinking weird things. Wow, okay, better get my mind out of the gutter.'

"You really shouldn't bench weight without a spotter," AJ stated.

Jaycie sent a slight glare his way before continuing, "I saw you doing it just fine before."

"Yes, but, I can handle myself…"

"So can I," she finished up her last set and put the bar back to it's resting state. She closed her eyes, 'So tired.'

"You can bench a fair amount of weight for a woman," he complimented.

"That was for an easy day. I really didn't feel like getting a major work out today, I'm too tired."

"May I ask, exactly, what are you doing here?" AJ looked at Jaycie confused.

"You really want to know?"

He nodded.

"Okay," she smiled and got up, shrugging her shoulders. "You asked. I'm here with the FBI. We have reason to believe you were involved with a series of murders in the southeast…"

"What?" AJ's face expression dropped.

Jaycie almost broke into hysteria, "Wow, you actually believed me. That's hilarious!"

AJ glared at here.

"But no, really, I'm actually here because I work here now."

"You work in TNA?"

"Oh, so that's what they call it," Jaycie mocked AJ.

AJ once again glared at Jaycie.

"Aww, lighten up a bit. My friend, Lana, and I are new wrestlers here in TNA. We're from Milwaukee, WI," Jaycie explained as she took a swig of her water from her bottle.

"Like Austin Aries?"

"But much better."

"I'll say so," AJ smiled at Jaycie.

Jaycie sighed and checked her watch. 'One more hour to go.'

"How's your head?" AJ asked.

"My head? Oh yeah, last night, I remember. It's fine, I had a headache when I woke up, but nothing major."

"I'm surprised your brain wasn't pounding out of the skull from living with that friend of yours. She's a nightmare."

"Who, Lana?"

AJ nodded.

"Lana's…she's just…" Jaycie sighed at trying to describe her best friend. "Lana's very independent. She can be social when she wants, but she likes her privacy more than anything else, almost. She looks out for everyone, but doesn't let anyone look out for her. She won't listen to anyone even if she knows she's already wrong about something.

She's had a rough past, and so she built up walls against anything and everything. I'm not always even accepted within her barriers," Jaycie explained.

"Rough," AJ didn't know what else to say.

Jaycie nodded.

"Sorry about your head," AJ apologized.

"Don't worry about it, I've had worse happen to me."

"Me too," AJ looked into Jaycie's eyes and held her gaze. Just for an instant until she looked away and went searching for a different machine to work with.

Jaycie groaned as she walked into her room at 2:30pm, tossing her gym bag across the room and flopped down on her bed.

She got up and looked into Lana's room, still seeing that she was asleep, she groaned to herself.

"What the hell am I supposed to do now?" Jaycie asked Lana as if she was awake and listening. "Pssh…party pooper."

Jaycie walked out of the room and went to get a clean set of clothes out of her gym bag. She brought out a pair of pants when a note fell from when she unfolded them.

She eyed the note, warily, before picking it up and opening it slowly.

It read:

Jaycie;

I'm sorry about everything that happened last night. We really haven't been able to meet under normal circumstances. The first time, I hit you in the head with a football. And meeting in a gym and working out for a bit doesn't officially qualify as a good meeting either.

So, I will come by at 7:00pm tonight to pick you up for a harmless night on the town, considering you're new here in Orlando, FL. If you're there, you're there. If not, I need a better strategy.

Signed,

AJ.

Jaycie laughed as she read the last line and smiled to herself. 'Wow, it's like a dream coming true.'

Jaycie snapped out of her daydream when she heard a knock on the door.

She mentally kicked herself for not getting in a shower yet as she opened the door.

In appeared a cleaned up AJ Styles. He shrugged and walked in, "I got bored."

Lana walked into Jaycie's room in shorts and a tank top with her hair in a messy bun on top of her head. "I'm up," she said through brushing her teeth. She glanced from Jaycie to AJ, rolled her eyes, and made her exit.

"She just woke up?" AJ asked.

"She's nocturnal, I swear." Jaycie smiled, "Plus she has a really late training session. From like 1:00 to 4:00 in the morning."

"Ouch," AJ hissed.

"She doesn't mind. She'd rather be alone, which is how it's going so far."

Jaycie motioned for AJ to come in and take a seat.

"Well, I haven't exactly made it to the shower yet. So…" Jaycie threw the remote for the TV at AJ, "Make yourself at home."

OK, and that's Chapter 3. Pretty good for just coming up with a story, I think. But whatever. Review please! And I know this chapter was focused mostly on Jaycie and AJ, but that's what came to me. Plus it was during the day, and Lana's not a day person. The beginning of next chapter will start out with AJ and Jaycie most likely, but Lana might come in more later in the chapter.

The one and only,
